Part One\n(revised 2.28.96)\n\n\n[Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.).\n\nAlthough this Cherokee history is larger than most, it's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism.\n\nUsing the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end is standard size.

The eastern Cherokee still maintain their reservation in western North Carolina. The Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory has almost 12,000 members and has been recognized by the State of Missouri. Other groups of Cherokee, like the 2,500 members of the North Alabama Cherokee, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama but currently do not have federal recognition.\n\nPopulation\nEuropean epidemics introduced into the southeastern United States in 1540 by the Desoto expedition are estimated to have killed at least 75% of the original native population. How much the Cherokee suffered from this disaster in unknown, but their population in 1674 was about 50,000. A series of smallpox epidemics (1729, 1738, and 1753) cut this in half, and it remained fairly stable at about 25,000 until their removal to Oklahoma during the 1830s. The American Civil War was the next disaster and cost the Cherokee 25% of their population. No other group of Americans, red or white, suffered as severely during this conflict. The 1990 census listed 308,132 persons (15,000 full-blood) who identified themselves as Cherokee. Of these, 95,435 were concentrated in eastern Oklahoma while 10,114 eastern Cherokee lived on or near the North Carolina reservation. Cherokee tribal governments have fairly liberal membership standards, and some estimates exceed 370,000, which would make the Cherokee the largest Native American group in the United States.\n\n\nName\nThe most familiar name, Cherokee, comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves the Aniyunwiya (or Anniyaya) "principal people" or the Keetoowah (or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi) "people of Kituhwa." Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation (Tsalagihi Ayili). Other names applied to the Cherokee have been: Allegheny (or Allegewi, Talligewi) (Delaware), Baniatho (Arapaho), Caáxi (or Cayaki) (Osage and Kansa), Chalaque (Spanish), Chilukki (dog people) (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Entarironnen (mountain people) (Huron), Gatohuá (Creek), Kittuwa (or Katowá) (Algonquin), Matera (or Manteran) (coming out of the ground) ( Catawba), Nation du Chien (French), Ochietarironnon (Wyandot), Oyatageronon (or Oyaudah, Uwatayoronon) (cave people) (Iroquois), Shanaki (Caddo), Shannakiak (Fox), Tcaike (Tonkawa), and Tcerokieco (Wichita).\n\n\nLanguage\nIroquian, but Cherokee differs significantly from other Iroquian languages.\n\n\nSub-tribes\n\nThe Cherokee have been divided into three divisions depending on location and dialect (east to west): \nLower

can u create a "CON" folder in winxp and how to reset or findout the password in winxp?

The basic problem is that CON is the built in name used for a standard I/O port representing "console". This is just like other ports, like LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, etc. If you managed to created such a file/folder on your machine, all normal input and output that normally come from the keyboard and display on the screen would have to come from and go to the file/folder you created.\n\nDOS device names are reserved words, and cannot be\nused as folder or file names. When parsing a reference to a file or folder, Windows correctly checks for the case in which a single DOS device name is used in the path, and treats it as invalid.\n\nfollowing are reserved device names\n\nCON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4,\nCOM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4,LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.\n\nu cannot create a folder or file of the above names.\n\nThis actually is a unix-like feature. DOS device drivers are accessible like normal files, i.e. the everything-is-a-file philosophy. CON is the equivalent of /dev/tty, NUL of /dev/null, COM# of /dev/ttyS#, LPT# of /dev/lp# and CLOCK$ corresponds to /dev/rtc (PRN is an alias to LPT1, AUX is COM1). Every character device can be opened this way, block devices (which are assumed to be FAT formatted...) are named A: to Z:, as you will know. Many pseudo character devices (drivers which had to be loaded as drivers but were no character devices, like EMM386, HIMEM.SYS, ..) had forbidden characters like '*' in their device names to be hidden from the user.\n\nThe only problem is: DOS 1, which introduced CON, NUL, PRN and AUX had no directories, i.e. no /dev/, so for compatibility with old DOS1-executables (which don't know that they live in a directory) the character devices have to exist in every directory. Don't know why this feature was not limited to FCB (CP/M like) file access, unix like file numbers were introduced together with directories in DOS 2 (actually the MS programmers had Xenix machines on their desks, I heard)..\n\nsecondly i would say that some extra smart people try to create the Folder "con" by using special characters in front of the folder name such as now take for example one of my friend told me that he had created the folder "con". he showed me the syntax. the correct syntax for creating a folder in DOS is...\n\nmkdir con \n\nbut since the folder "con" cannot be created this command doesnt execute.\nnow see the syntax what my friend showed me\n\nmkdir &#92;.&#92;&#92;d:&#92;con (warning : dont try on ur pc)\nand to delete the folder is\nrd &#92;.&#92;&#92;d:&#92;con\nu know wat will happen\nin windows xp u will c only a folder of name "con" but the actual name is &#92;.&#92;&#92;con\nwe should not use special character in front of folder names.\n\nThere is one more technique to create "con" but it is not known to most of the people.\nThis is the alt+255 technique.\nIn this the user holds the "alt" key and then presses 255 from the numpad before or after the folder name.\nBut alt + 255 is the keyboard combination of underscore(_) or space which is a special character and hence can't be used for folder name.\nWhile displaying the name it wont show the special character, it will show only the name "con"\n\nNow regarding the file "con"\nyou may not have noticed but it is not only the folder "con" cannot be created but also u cannot create a file of name "con" (such as u can't create "con.txt",\n"con.doc","con.ppt" etc...)\nThe reason for this is as follows\n\nIn Dos there are two commands \nfor creating a file we use a command "copy con"\nthe syntax for creating a file in DOS is..\n\ncopy con <filename>\n\nusing the above command u can create a file in DOS.\nnow for copyng a file the command is "copy" in Dos\nthe synatx is ..\n\ncopy <filename1> <filename2&gt

how can i earn $1 mio in 5 years? any good ideas?

Start with Ten Mil and invest it in the stock market.\n\nWith some luck, you'll earn $1 mil (which is what I THINK you meant to ask).\n\nIf you lose 90%, you'll still have $1 mil.\n\n------------\n\nSeriously, as one who has done what you are looking to do, with the success levels you are talking about, I have to say that the BEST way to make a lot of money is to start your own business. Look at it this way, if you work for someone else, you can pretty accurately predict what your salary will be over 5 years (even optimistically)- and it will probably be no where near $1 mil.\n\nSo, Here's the plan.\n\n1. Start your own business. You should do something you LIKE to do.\n\n2. Set a target for who you are marketing to, and what product or service you are providing. Define that well, on paper. Perhaps you want to provide computer programming services for accounting firms, or provide financial planning services for wealthy men (>$2M net worth) in their 40's. Whatever. Define it well. This sets your target customer. It guides your efforts.\n\n3. Every SPARE moment goes toward building a business for your target... finding customers in that arena, building a product or service offering in that target range.\n\n4. Set a financial goal. If you want to earn (gross) $1M in 5 yrs, maybe it looks like this: Yr 1: 25K, Yr 2: 70K, Yr 3: 130K, Yr 4: 260K, Yr 5: 520K. That would put you over 1M for the total, and with a growth rate that would put you over $1M in yr 6 as well.\n\n5. PUT A PLAN ON PAPER. What does yr 2 look like? Who are you selling to, and what are you selling? How many customers do you need? How many employees do you need? What does a budget look like? (where would you be spending your money in year 2, to insure that year 3 produces the results that you need). It's a GIVEN that your plan will be WRONG (one way or another), but it's CRITICAL that you do this ON PAPER.\n\n6. Read The E-Myth. Michael Gerber lays out a roadmap. (That was a guide for our multi-million dollar start-up)\n\n7. Hire people ONLY IF YOU MUST, and then HIRE PEOPLE SMARTER THAN YOU. This is critical. Most start-ups go "on the cheap". Most start-ups fail. Look for people that have succeeded in starting a business.\n\n8. Put your business plan into a "presentation", and present it to as MANY influential people as possible. Amazingly MOST EVERYONE is supportive of the little guy who has the guts to go out on a limb. Listen to their advice (and weigh it accordingly). This is part "strategic planning" and part "marketing". You are just trying to get the message out. At the end of each presentation, ask "do you know of anyone who I should talk to, who would be interested in my product or service?" Get leads. Follow up on them.\n\n9. Keeping your eye on your target market and financial goals, turn down VERY LITTLE business down (initially) until you can meet your financial target. Price your deals based on how close to the target they are. For instance, if you choose to perform Landscaping for businesses, but someone asks you to help them with a residential job, bid the job so that it's "worth your time". Don't ever complain that "this isn't my core business". The only business you want to avoid in the early stages are the deals that don't have a clean exit or a paying customer. If you can state your price, and do a job, and have a satisfied customer, and make a few bucks, that is golden! You are looking for reference accounts.\n\n10. When you are so busy that you have the luxury of being selective of the business that you take on, price yourself accordingly. Some business you may want to say no to. Other business you may want to price high. Remember the TARGET set in Step 2. If it's a "bullseye" deal (exactly the type of business you are looking for, with a customer that will be happy and refer

What is fuzzy logic?

Fuzzy logic is a superset of conventional (Boolean) logic that has been\nextended to handle the concept of partial truth -- truth values between\n"completely true" and "completely false". It was introduced by Dr. Lotfi\nZadeh of UC/Berkeley in the 1960's as a means to model the uncertainty\nof natural language. (Note: Lotfi, not Lofti, is the correct spelling\nof his name.)\n\nZadeh says that rather than regarding fuzzy theory as a single theory, we\nshould regard the process of ``fuzzification'' as a methodology to\ngeneralize ANY specific theory from a crisp (discrete) to a continuous\n(fuzzy) form (see "extension principle" in [2]). Thus recently researchers\nhave also introduced "fuzzy calculus", "fuzzy differential equations",\nand so on (see [7]).\n\nFuzzy Subsets:\n\nJust as there is a strong relationship between Boolean logic and the\nconcept of a subset, there is a similar strong relationship between fuzzy\nlogic and fuzzy subset theory.\n\nIn classical set theory, a subset U of a set S can be defined as a\nmapping from the elements of S to the elements of the set {0, 1},\n\n U: S --> {0, 1}\n\nThis mapping may be represented as a set of ordered pairs, with exactly\none ordered pair present for each element of S. The first element of the\nordered pair is an element of the set S, and the second element is an\nelement of the set {0, 1}. The value zero is used to represent\nnon-membership, and the value one is used to represent membership. The\ntruth or falsity of the statement\n\n x is in U\n\nis determined by finding the ordered pair whose first element is x. The\nstatement is true if the second element of the ordered pair is 1, and the\nstatement is false if it is 0.\n\nSimilarly, a fuzzy subset F of a set S can be defined as a set of ordered\npairs, each with the first element from S, and the second element from\nthe interval [0,1], with exactly one ordered pair present for each\nelement of S. This defines a mapping between elements of the set S and\nvalues in the interval [0,1]. The value zero is used to represent\ncomplete non-membership, the value one is used to represent complete\nmembership, and values in between are used to represent intermediate\nDEGREES OF MEMBERSHIP. The set S is referred to as the UNIVERSE OF\nDISCOURSE for the fuzzy subset F. Frequently, the mapping is described\nas a function, the MEMBERSHIP FUNCTION of F. The degree to which the\nstatement\n\n x is in F\n\nis true is determined by finding the ordered pair whose first element is\nx. The DEGREE OF TRUTH of the statement is the second element of the\nordered pair.\n\nIn practice, the terms "membership function" and fuzzy subset get used\ninterchangeably.\n\nThat's a lot of mathematical baggage, so here's an example. Let's\ntalk about people and "tallness". In this case the set S (the\nuniverse of discourse) is the set of people. Let's define a fuzzy\nsubset TALL, which will answer the question "to what degree is person\nx tall?" Zadeh describes TALL as a LINGUISTIC VARIABLE, which\nrepresents our cognitive category of "tallness". To each person in the\nuniverse of discourse, we have to assign a degree of membership in the\nfuzzy subset TALL. The easiest way to do this is with a membership\nfunction based on the person's height.\n\n tall(x) = { 0, if height(x) < 5 ft.,\n (height(x)-5ft.)/2ft., if 5 ft. <= height (x) <= 7 ft.,\n 1, if height(x) > 7 ft. }\n\nA graph of this looks like:\n\n1.0 + +-------------------\n | /\n | /\n0.5 + /\n | /\n | /\n0.0 +-------------+-----+-------------------\n | |\n 5.0 7.0\n\n height, ft. ->\n\nGiven this definition, here a

While the American chemical company Du Pont was busy inventing nylon and telling the world about it in the?

late 1930s, it was absolutely keeping quiet about another material that one of its scientist had stumbled on. This was inert ,completely stable - corrosion proof, unaffected by heat, electricity, acids and solvents. What is this material? What are its other properties which make it so indispensable today?

PTFE fluoropolymer resin was discovered by DuPont chemist Roy J. Plunkett in 1938. The same year, DuPont chemist Wallace H. Carothers invented nylon. The Teflon® trademark was registered to DuPont in 1945. Nylon was never registered as a trademark and was given to all to use.\n\nTeflon® fluoropolymer resin is used in the manufacture of DuPont branded nonstick coatings: Teflon®, SilverStone®, SilverStone® Xtra, SilverStone® Select, SilverStone® Professional and Autograph.\n\nTeflon® is used for O-ring gaskets and tape for the protective case housing the original Emancipation Proclamation, delivered in 1862 by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.\n\nTeflon® has been involved in the U.S. space program since the program's infancy. When astronaut Neil Armstrong took his historic "giant leap for mankind" in 1969, the moon module included numerous applications involving Teflon® resin, including space suits and blankets, heat shields, insulation and cargo hold liners.\n\nTeflon® is used in many applications for computer chip manufacture because it is very inert and non-reactive.

These are especially crucial for diabetics, people with circulatory problems, geriatric needs, obesity and sensitive skin. They are made by Comfort Socks and were recently approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.\n\nTechnology based on Teflon® also is used to repel dirt and spills from DuPont StainMaster® carpet, which is specially engineered to protect carpet from tracked in dirt and spilled food and drinks.

When I read Isaiah 53, I see the saving death of Jesus perfectly described there. Why don't the Jews see Him?

It is not that the Jews are blind, it is that Christians see the Hebrew Scriptures through Jesus-colored glasses. Since they read the Christian's New Testament first, then the TaNaCH, they see the TaNaCH through the lens of Christianity. If read on its own, with no knowledge of, or belief in, Christianity, the Hebrew Scriptures would not be seen as being about Jesus.\n\nJews dont see the Christian interpretation in Isaiah 53, because it contradicts what the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible says, clearly and consistently, in at least 3 places:\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself as an atonement for the sins of the people. To be written out of God's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. God's response was "No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:"\n\nExodus 32:30-35\nAnd it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses \nsaid unto the people, Ye have sinned a great \nsin: and now I will go up unto the Eternal; \nperhaps I shall make an atonement for your \nsin. And Moses returned unto the Eternal, and \nsaid, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, \nand have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which \nthou hast written. And the Eternal said unto \nMoses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him \nwill I blot out of my book...nevertheless in \nthe day when I visit I will visit their sin \nupon them.\n\nIn Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16\nThe fathers shall not be put to death for the \nchildren, neither shall the children be put to \ndeath for the father. Every man must die for \nhis own sin.\n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for God's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and God will forgive us. Nowhere in this chapter does it say that we have to have a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins.\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27\n.....Behold, all souls are mine; as the \nsoul of the father, so also the soul of the \nson is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall \ndie....The soul that sinneth, it shall die. \nThe son shall not bear the iniquity of the \nfather, neither shall the father bear the \niniquity of the son: the righteousness of the \nrighteous shall be upon him, and the \nwickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. \nBut if the wicked will turn from all his sins \nthat he hath committed, and keep all my \nstatutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Eternal God: and not \nthat he should return from his ways, and live? \n\nSo, either Deuteronomy 24:16, "Every man must die for his own sin" does not mean that 'every man must die for his own sin,' and the Christian interpretation of Isaiah 53 is correct, or the Christian interpretation of Isaiah 53 is not correct, and Deuteronomy 24:16, 'Every man must die for his own sins' means exactly what it says.\n\nFurthermore, Jews read Isaiah up to (and including Isaiah 53) and Isaiah repeatedly refers specifically to the Jews as Gd's servant. Read Isaiah 41:8; Isaiah 44:21; Isaiah 45:4; Isaiah 49:3; Isaiah 44:1; Isaiah 48:20 and Isaiah 49:7 \n\nLets concentrate on Isaiah 43:10::\nIsaiah 43:10 \n"You are my witnesses, saith the Etrnl, and my \nservant whom I have chosen: that ye may know \nand believe me, and understand that I am he: \nbefore me there was no Gd formed, neither \nshall there be after me." \n\nThe above verse refers to the Jewish People in the plural, when Gd

When I read Isaiah 53, I see the saving death of Jesus perfectly described there. Why don't the Jews see Him?It is not that the Jews are blind, it is that Christians see the Hebrew Scriptures through Jesus-colored glasses. Since they read the Christian's New Testament first, then the TaNaCH, they see the TaNaCH through the lens of Christianity. If read on its own, with no knowledge of, or belief in, Christianity, the Hebrew Scriptures would not be seen as being about Jesus.\n\nJews dont see the Christian interpretation in Isaiah 53, because it contradicts what the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible says, clearly and consistently, in at least 3 places:\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself as an atonement for the sins of the people. To be written out of God's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. God's response was "No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:"\n\nExodus 32:30-35\nAnd it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses \nsaid unto the people, Ye have sinned a great \nsin: and now I will go up unto the Eternal; \nperhaps I shall make an atonement for your \nsin. And Moses returned unto the Eternal, and \nsaid, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, \nand have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which \nthou hast written.

config.php or config.pinc are the global configuration files for TUTOS.\n\nconfig_default.pinc is a exmaple file that is always read before reading config.p???.

what is the besat way to save for retirement?

I would like to retire in 10 years and have no retirement set back so far.

It depends on how old you are. Most retirement plans depend on the economic conditions at the time of retirement. One person can take their 401k out this year and might get more money then the person taking it out the year after. See, its all economics. On top of the economics, its what you invest in. When you put money in a 401k, you have experts putting it into mutual funds for you. They take alot from you. So, theoretically, you can buy your own stocks and make a heck of a lot more. And instead of investing in them for 45 years, you can invest for 8 years and make the same amount or more. This is true, however, you dont know what to invest in. So, I suggest you start small and on something a bit more safe. I will show you 2 or 3 of the best ways to do this. I am a rare coin expert. These ways are not fool proof because the economy goes up and down in a cycle of booms and busts. But, they do cut out the risk because you only have 10 years left. \nThe first method is through gold. I suggest you buy the physical form and not stocks or anything of that nature. You can buy the physical form and allow the sellers to store it for you. Do not allow them to store it for you if they are just a small company. I would rather take the physical gold with me. There is a fee to take this gold with you though. But, its better then not having it. With gold, its always hovering at about $278 to about $315. I would say that anything less then $290 is a good buy. When you buy, they always tack on an additional couple of dollars because the gold was assayed into a gold bar for you. When gold is high, they add like $4. When it is low, they might add $7 dollars. Dont worry about this. Just pay for it. I would rather buy bullion coins then the gold bars in the packages. They cost $10 dollars above the gold value in the bar form. Now, there are certain gold bullion coins that you should and shouldnt buy. Its always best to go for the pure gold ones. The reason being is, sometimes a jewelry store will take it in, but they will only pay for its content because they were going to melt it anyways. And if it wasnt pure 24k, then they might have to take a couple dollars off to turn it into 18k or 14k, etc etc. So, the purest ones are the Canadian gold coins, and the Chinese gold coins. When gold goes down, you buy, when they go up, you sell. Its that simple. You cant lose because gold goes up and down all the time. So, dont sell if you lose. Just keep it there. Whats the point of saving if you are going to dip into it? So, over the course of 10 years, I know you can make a sizeable profit. The question is large or small because you will not know when to buy and sell. All you see is a profit when you sell, and you see a cheap price when you buy. What you do is buy when its around $290 or less. Sell, when it goes up. And with the excess, you can buy more gold. Just continue doing this. I know for a fact that you can start off with $3000 dollars today and make at least 20 trades in the next 10 years and make no less then 100% of your investment back. Gold is currently at $500 plus. What if you bought it when it was $290 or less, which is what is preferred. Thats over 200 per ounce. So, in a year or two, do you see that you would have had over 5k? You just have to wait till it goes down to around the 300 mark. I mean, even if you buy for 290, and it goes up to 310 in 2 weeks, you can still sell and make 300 dollars. That would add almost another ounce to your portfolio. Continue to do this until you are about to retire. During the last year, you will be waiting for the highest price you can find to sell. Another thing to look into is instead of gold coins, you can buy grain gold. They are just little balls of pure gold. They are usually a couple dollars cheaper, but they are hard to obtain sometimes. \nSecond way of investing is buying coins from the US mint. They will be the cheapest price you pa

What is the True Speed of Sun Light ?

The Sun burns 4 million tons of Hydrogen per\nsecond X 2,000 lbs./ ton = 8,000,000,000 lbs/sec. X 86,400 seconds per\nday = 6.912 to the 14th power lbs./ day X 365 days/year = 2.52288 to\nthe 17th power lbs. burned/year X 223,584,184.6 years old age of the\nEarth = 5.640760676 to the 25th power lbs. of Hydrogen to light the\nEarth from Day 1 or 2.820380338 to the 22 power tons. 177245.385\nmiles/second X 5,280 ft./ mile = 935,855,632.8 ft./second Velocity. So\nit would take 8,000,000,000 lbs./sec./H to generate a Velocity of\n935,855,632.8 ft./sec. = a burn of 8.548327028 lbs./sec. burn / 1 ft.V\n/sec. = 8.5 lbs. of Hydrogen/1 ft. V /second. For light to reach the\nEarth it toke 8.7 min. = 522 seconds burning Hydrogen at a rate of\n8,000,000,000 lbs./sec. = 4.176 to the 12th power lbs. of Hydrogen to\nreach the Earth or 2,088,000,000 tons.

V divided\n5,280 ft./mile = 1.77245385 to the 11th power miles/sec V. "The True\nSpeed of Sun Light." In the Equation E=mc2 the Mechanical speed of\nlight squarded is 3.470769 to the 10th power. The Mechanical speed of\nlight = 186,300.000 miles/sec. The Mathematical speed of light\nsquarded is 3.14159265 to the 10th power or Pi to the 10th. power .\nThe Mathematical speed of light = 177245.385 miles/sec. The Speed of\nSun Light squarded is 3.14159265 to the 22 power or Pi to the 22\npower. The Speed of Sun Light = 1.77245385 to the 11 power miles/sec.\n( Note) Page 11 of "The Paper" proves two things, Frist = is that\n177,245.385 miles/sec. is the true Mathematical Speed of Light. Second\n= is that all sources of light do not travel at the same speed, but\nare regulated by the energy soure powering it. (A) Mechanical Speed of\nLight = 186,300.000 miles/sec. (B) Mathematical Speed of Light =\n177,245.385 miles/sec. (C) Speed of Sun Light = 1.77245385 to the 11th\npower miles/sec. E=mc2 = the speed of Light Squarded is (a) Mechanical\nspeed = 3.4596 to the 10th power (b) Mathematical speed = 3.14159265\nto the 10th power or Pi to the 10th power. (c) Sun Light speed =\n3.14159265 to the 22 power or Pi to the 22 power. (Note) The Speed of\nSun Light 1.77245385 to the 11th power in miles X 31.536 days or 1\nmonth = 5.589610461 to the 12th power in miles, one Light year. One\nlight year 5.589610461 to the 12th power in miles X 12 months/year =\n6.707532553 to the 13th power in miles or 1 light year by Sun Light.\nSo Sun Light can travel in 31.5 days or 1 month as far as light can\ntravel in 1 light year.

What is the True Speed of Sun Light ?The Sun burns 4 million tons of Hydrogen per\nsecond X 2,000 lbs./ ton = 8,000,000,000 lbs/sec.

So\nit would take 8,000,000,000 lbs./sec./H to generate a Velocity of\n935,855,632.8 ft./sec. = a burn of 8.548327028 lbs./sec. burn / 1 ft.V\n/sec. = 8.5 lbs. of Hydrogen/1 ft. V /second. For light to reach the\nEarth it toke 8.7 min. = 522 seconds burning Hydrogen at a rate of\n8,000,000,000 lbs./sec. = 4.176 to the 12th power lbs. of Hydrogen to\nreach the Earth or 2,088,000,000 tons. A Mega Ton = is an explosive\nforce equal to that of 1,000,000 tons of T N T . 1 foot = 0.3048\nmeters. 1 lb. of Astrolite G = 8600 meters/sec. V or 28,215.2231\nft./sec. or 5.343792253 miles/sec. 1 lbs. of T N T = 6900 meters/sec.\nV or 22,637.79528 ft./sec. V or 4.287461226 miles/sec. V (G)1,000,000\nlbs. X 28,215.2231 ft./sec. V = 2.82152231 to the 10th power ft./sec.\nV X 8,000,000,000 lbs. = 2.257217848 to the 20th power ft./sec V or\n4.275033803 to the 16th power miles/sec. V .(T N T )1,000,000 lbs. X\n22,637.79528 ft./sec. V = 2.263779528 to the 10th power ft./sec. V X\n8,000,000,000 lbs. = 1.811023622 to the 22 power ft./sec. V or\n3.429968981 to the 16th power miles/sec/ V . (H) 1,000,000 lbs.\ndivided by 8.548327028 lbs./ft. V / sec. = 116,981.9541 ft./sec V X\n8,000,000,000 lbs. = 9.358556328 to the 14th power ft./sec. V divided\n5,280 ft./mile = 1.77245385 to the 11th power miles/sec V. "The True\nSpeed of Sun Light." In the Equation E=mc2 the Mechanical speed of\nlight squarded is 3.470769 to the 10th power. The Mechanical speed of\nlight = 186,300.000 miles/sec. The Mathematical speed of light\nsquarded is 3.14159265 to the 10th power or Pi to the 10th. power .\nThe Mathematical speed of light = 177245.385 miles/sec. The Speed of\nSun Light squarded is 3.14159265 to the 22 power or Pi to the 22\npower. The Speed of Sun Light = 1.77245385 to the 11 power miles/sec.\n( Note) Page 11 of "The Paper" proves two things, Frist = is that\n177,245.385 miles/sec. is the true Mathematical Speed of Light. Second\n= is that all sources of light do not travel at the same speed, but\nare regulated by the energy soure powering it. (A) Mechanical Speed of\nLight = 186,300.000 miles/sec. (B) Mathematical Speed of Light =\n177,245.385 miles/sec. (C) Speed of Sun Light = 1.77245385 to the 11th\npower miles/sec. E=mc2 = the speed of Light Squarded is (a) Mechanical\nspeed = 3.4596 to the 10th power (b) Mathematical speed = 3.14159265\nto the 10th power or Pi to the 10th power. (c) Sun Light speed =\n3.14159265 to the 22 power or Pi to the 22 power. (Note) The Speed of\nSun Light 1.77245385 to the 11th power in miles X 31.536 days or 1\nmonth = 5.589610461 to the 12th power in miles, one Light year. One\nlight year 5.589610461 to the 12th power in miles X 12 months/year =\n6.707532553 to the 13th power in miles or 1 light year by Sun Light.\nSo Sun Light can travel in 31.5 days or 1 month as far as light can\ntravel in 1 light year.

Are the other Apprentice's still working for Trump?

We all know about Bill Rancic and his 'success' but other the other still employed by Trump?

Yes, they are working for Trump but it may not be a dream job like they were promised. Here is a Newsweek Article with the details:\n\nWhat's Second Prize? \nA reality check on what 'The Apprentice' winners won\n\nBy Ramin Setoodeh\nNewsweek\n\n\nMay 23, 2005 issue - As the winner of the second\n"Apprentice," Kelly Perdew should be in line for a top\njob in the Trump organization. But you'd never know\nthat from his office. His desk is in a small,\nwindowless space next to the assistant to Donald\nTrump's wife, Melania (Perdew has no assistant). The\nwalls are bare, except for a dry-erase board and a\nU.S. map, stuck with pins marking the distributors\nhe's signed to buy his boss's new line of bottled\nwater, Trump Ice. "This is going to be big," he vows.\n\nThat, of course, is the same promise Trump made about\nthe job waiting for the lucky contestant who survives\nlong enough to hear him say, "You're hired.'' (He'll\nbe picking this season's winner on Thursday.) In the\nseries premiere, Trump promised the top prize of a job\nas president of one of his companies. But spend some\ntime with winners of the first two seasons, and the\nreality of this reality show becomes clear: the\napprentices' $250,000-a-year gigs are less about\nclimbing the corporate ladder, and more about using\ntheir "Apprentice" celebrity to promote Trump. Then\nagain, perhaps it should come as no surprise that\nTrump may have engaged in a bit of overselling (or\n"truthful hyperbole'' as he's called it). "It's a\nlittle bit too much to ask someone to be the president\nof a $800 million building when they haven't had that\nkind of experience,'' he says.\n\nPerdew and Bill Rancic, the first season's winner,\nwere given the title of "owner's representative,'' and\nrecently were also named executive vice presidents. On\nPerdew's first day, his boss introduced him to Florida\ndevelopers working on a Trump-branded condo in Tampa.\n"Mr. Trump said, 'OK, Kelly, you're going to go help\npromote sales of the building'," Perdew recalls. He\nthen spent about 20 days in the area, chatting on the\nradio, attending parties and talking to the press.\nThese days, he's supposed to split his time between\nlaunching the bottled-water brand and sitting in on\ndiscussions about a new condo in Florida and a\ncommercial building in Manhattan. But his calendar is\nfilled with many distractions—speeches to\nentrepreneurs about Trump and "The Apprentice,"\ndeadlines for writing a book about how the military\nteaches business skills, and acting in an ad for the\nDepartment of Defense (voice-over by you-know-who).\n\nRancic, ostensibly put in charge of the $800 million\n"Chicago: Trump Tower'' project, seems to spend as\nmuch of his time reliving his TV star turn, too. He'll\nwarm up a crowd of real-estate brokers or potential\nbuyers by talking about "The Apprentice," then the\nmarketing team takes over to talk specifics. "His\ncelebrity is a draw," says Tere Proctor, the\nbuilding's director of sales. The rest of the time, he\nshadows another Trump exec in White Plains, N.Y., to\nlearn about construction. "I'm getting a full-time\neducation here," he says, on his way to inspect a new\nclubhouse on the same golf course his final task was\nstaged. "I'm not going to be a 20-year employee," he\nadds. "I'm an entrepreneur—my goal is to go on and do\na deal of my own."\n\nThe jobs may be less than advertised, but they're\nstill enough of a draw to attract some 1 million\npeople who auditioned for season four.

Why did Bush get so much involved in Iraq??

So many lives have been wasted in unearthing Saddam's "weapons of mass destruction" , which in reality did not exist. Lots of US soldiers have died in this pursuit, Thousands of Iraqis have also lost their lives and properties, probably their country as well and there is seemingly no guarantee that the Iraqi democracy would survive.\nYour opinion please>

I think that Iraq was on Mr. Bush's mind the day he took office. On day one he put a target on Saddam's head and was ready to use any excuse to finish his daddy's job.\n\nHis father, however, knew the consequeces of a march on Bahgdad. That is why we stopped short of Saddam in 91, we had a clean victory and Sr. quit while he was ahead.\n\nJr., however, wanted blood. He was convinced that Saddam would one day become the next great tyrant. Like Johnson in 64, Bush was ready to pounce at the first sign of any agression. The perfect reason to declare open-ended war fell into his lap on an early september monday morning.\n\nIt has been reported that just hours after the planes hit Bush was heard asking his advisors if Iraq was involved. He was asking very leading questions of his advisors, including donald rumsfeld, who both wanted to pin 9/11 on Saddam before the towers even hit the ground.\n\nBut some would say they were smart, they went for the easy win first. They needed to prove to the public that America could lead a successful nation-building war. Of course I wouldn't call Afghanistan rebuilt when 95% of their economy is from the sale of opiates (I am against prohibition, but Bush isn't). Even today, after the supposed elections and overthrow of the taliban, the only way an afghan woman can make any kind of living is to work in the opium fields.\n\nWe all saw the buildup for war. He and his messengers (condie, rumsfeld, right wing puppet congressmen) had us all believing that we were about to be nuked. The sad thing is that the public at large bought right into it. I must say he even got me wondering just what Mr. Saddam had up his sleeve. I suppose that's why I was rather exited to watch the war on tv, I just wanted to see what this guy had. I watched the sabre rattling in the weeks leading up to 'shock and awe'. It was entertaining to watch these two morons square off. I thought Saddam would have had more of a back bone though. I expected to see a tienemen square scecne in Bahgdad, but right away I could tell once we entered the capitol that something was wrong.\n\nIf Bush had been right, I have no doubt that Saddam would have used those weapons on American soldiers. But they never existed. Just like the second attack at the gulf of Tonkin. It never happened. LBJ however did not lie himself, rather his advisors lied to him. True, Johnson was willing and ready to pounce should a tit-for-tat oppertunity present itself. He believed the second attack on a stranded US cruiser was just such an oppertunity. His advisors knew of his willingness to decalre war and fed him intel that would lead him in that direction. LBJ wanted to look strong on defence and strong against communism going into a tough 1964 election. He knew that he would be judged to the standard of 'what would JFK have done?' in the public eye. Once he had blindly acceped the attack as truth and declared war, it wasn't long before the conflict spiraled out of his control. "For all I know, they're shooting at whales" Johnson said the next year about the war that was now out of his control.\n\nThe rhetoric leading upto Iraq was different. The intel was 'misread' by everyone in the aministration, so either everyone is lieing or everyone is that dumb. I think they were seeing what they wanted to see. As soon as any intel came accross that would give a glimmer of hope to uniting the country behind a war surfaced, they took it as fact because they wanted to. It suited their political end.\n\nI believe that this intel was also pressured out of the cia and nsa from the white house. Bush pushed so hard for 'actionable intel' that people eventually told him what he wanted to hear. This still continues as they try to quell the uprising. The president is so desperate for information on both insurgents and al-queida (sp?) that he is willing to turn his back on the rest of

Shah Jahan Birth name: Ghiyasuddin Shah Jahan\nTitle: Emperor of Mughal Empire\nBirth: January 5, 1592\nPlace of birth: Lahore, Punjab (Pakistan)\nDeath: January 22, 1666\nSucceeded by: Aurangzeb\nMarriage: \n\n * Quandari Begum\n * Mumtaz Mahal\n\nChildren: \n\n * Aurangzeb, son\n * Murad Baksh, son\n * Dara Shikoh, son\n * Shah Shuja, son\n * Jahanara Begum, daughter\n * Roshanara Begum, daughter\n * Gauharara Begum, daughter\n\n\nGhiyasuddin Shah Jahan (شاہ جحاں, also spelled Shah Jehan, Shahjehan, January 5, 1592 – January 22, 1666) was the ruler of the Mughal Empire in India from 1628 until 1658. The name Shah Jahan comes from Persian شاه‌جهان meaning "The Ruler of the World". Shah Jahan is best known as the builder of the Taj Mahal, a shrine to his Persian second wife, Arjumand Bano Begum, popularly known as Mumtaz Mahal ("Ornament of the Palace") whom he married on May 10, 1612, at the age of 20.\nContents\n\n * 1 Rise to power\n * 2 Accomplishments\n * 3 Decline and fall\n * 4 Legacy\n * 5 Literary sources\n * 6 Notable structures associated with Shah Jahan\n * 7 External links\n\n[edit]\n\nRise to power\n\nShah Jahan was born with the name Prince Khurram to Jahangir and the Hindu Rajput Princess Manmati, and was reportedly close to his grandfather Akbar as a child. Khurram raised an army against Jahangir in 1622, but the insurgency failed. He was forgiven and accepted back into the fold but two of his sons, Prince Aurangzeb and Dara Shikoh, were sent to Jahangir's court against the possibility of Prince Khurram revolting again.\n\nAfter Jahangir's death in 1627, Khurram captured power after a fratricidal war against his weaker brother, Shahryar, who was supported by Jahangir's powerful widow Nur Jehan with the help of Abdul Hassan Asaf Khan . It was shortly after this that he took the rule name Shah Jahan, February 4, 1628.\n[edit]\n\nAccomplishments\n\nAlthough his father's rule was generally peaceful, the empire was experiencing challenges by the end of his reign. Shah Jahan reversed this trend by putting down a Muslim rebellion in Ahmednagar, repulsing the Portuguese in the Bengal, capturing the Rajput kingdoms of Baglana and Bundelkhand to the west, and the kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda in the Deccan and the northwest beyond the Khyber Pass. Shah Jahan's military campaigns drained the imperial treasury. Under his rule, the state became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, so did the demands for more revenue from the peasantry. However, his political efforts encouraged the emergence of large centers of commerce and crafts--such as Lahore, Delhi, Agra, and Ahmadabad--linked by roads and waterways to distant places and ports. He moved the capital from Agra to Delhi, the traditional seat of Muslim power.\n\nUnder Shah Jahan's rule, Mughal artistic and architectural achievements reached their zenith. Shah Jahan was a prolific builder with a highly refined aesthetic. He built the legendary Taj Mahal in Agra as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Among his surviving buildings are the Red Fort and Jamia Masjid in Delhi, the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore and buildings at the Lahore Fort.\n\nAlthough the empire's financial expenditures were excessive when resources were shrinking, by the end of Shah Jahan's reign, the empire was again expanding.\n\nLegend has it that Shah Jahan wanted to build a black Taj Mahal, to match the white one[1]. There is no reputable scholarship to support this hypothesis, however.[2][3][4].\n[edit]\n\nDecline and fall\n\nWhen Shah Jahan fell severely ill beginning in 1657, the struggle to succeed him began. His second son, Shah Shuja declared himself emperor in Bengal. Aurangzeb also challenged his father and the expected successor, Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb's elder brother. Despite strong support from Shah Jahan, who had

Shah Jahan is best known as the builder of the Taj Mahal, a shrine to his Persian second wife, Arjumand Bano Begum, popularly known as Mumtaz Mahal ("Ornament of the Palace") whom he married on May 10, 1612, at the age of 20.\nContents\n\n * 1 Rise to power\n * 2 Accomplishments\n * 3 Decline and fall\n * 4 Legacy\n * 5 Literary sources\n * 6 Notable structures associated with Shah Jahan\n * 7 External links\n\n[edit]\n\nRise to power\n\nShah Jahan was born with the name Prince Khurram to Jahangir and the Hindu Rajput Princess Manmati, and was reportedly close to his grandfather Akbar as a child. Khurram raised an army against Jahangir in 1622, but the insurgency failed. He was forgiven and accepted back into the fold but two of his sons, Prince Aurangzeb and Dara Shikoh, were sent to Jahangir's court against the possibility of Prince Khurram revolting again.\n\nAfter Jahangir's death in 1627, Khurram captured power after a fratricidal war against his weaker brother, Shahryar, who was supported by Jahangir's powerful widow Nur Jehan with the help of Abdul Hassan Asaf Khan . It was shortly after this that he took the rule name Shah Jahan, February 4, 1628.\n[edit]\n\nAccomplishments\n\nAlthough his father's rule was generally peaceful, the empire was experiencing challenges by the end of his reign. Shah Jahan reversed this trend by putting down a Muslim rebellion in Ahmednagar, repulsing the Portuguese in the Bengal, capturing the Rajput kingdoms of Baglana and Bundelkhand to the west, and the kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda in the Deccan and the northwest beyond the Khyber Pass. Shah Jahan's military campaigns drained the imperial treasury. Under his rule, the state became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, so did the demands for more revenue from the peasantry. However, his political efforts encouraged the emergence of large centers of commerce and crafts--such as Lahore, Delhi, Agra, and Ahmadabad--linked by roads and waterways to distant places and ports. He moved the capital from Agra to Delhi, the traditional seat of Muslim power.\n\nUnder Shah Jahan's rule, Mughal artistic and architectural achievements reached their zenith. Shah Jahan was a prolific builder with a highly refined aesthetic. He built the legendary Taj Mahal in Agra as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Among his surviving buildings are the Red Fort and Jamia Masjid in Delhi, the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore and buildings at the Lahore Fort.\n\nAlthough the empire's financial expenditures were excessive when resources were shrinking, by the end of Shah Jahan's reign, the empire was again expanding.\n\nLegend has it that Shah Jahan wanted to build a black Taj Mahal, to match the white one[1]. There is no reputable scholarship to support this hypothesis, however.[2][3][4].\n[edit]\n\nDecline and fall\n\nWhen Shah Jahan fell severely ill beginning in 1657, the struggle to succeed him began. His second son, Shah Shuja declared himself emperor in Bengal. Aurangzeb also challenged his father and the expected successor, Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb's elder brother. Despite strong support from Shah Jahan, who had

derivation of gain of horn antenna?

ANTENNA INTRODUCTION / BASICS\nRULES OF THUMB:\n1. The Gain of an antenna with losses is given by:\n\n\n\n2. Gain of rectangular X-Band Aperture\n\n G = 1.4 LW Where: L = length of aperture in cm\nW = width of aperture in cm \n\n\n3. Gain of Circular X-Band Aperture\n\n\n\n4. Gain of an isotropic antenna radiating in a uniform spherical pattern is one (0 dB).\n\n5. Antenna with a 20 degree beamwidth has a 20 dB gain.\n\n6. 3 dB beamwidth is approximately equal to the angle from the peak of the power to the first null (see figure at right).\n\n \n\n7. Parabolic Antenna Beamwidth:\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nANTENNA BASICS\nThe antenna equations which follow relate to Figure 1 as a typical antenna. In Figure 1, BW is the azimuth beamwidth and BW is the elevation beamwidth. Beamwidth is normally measured at the half-power or -3 dB point unless otherwise specified. See Glossary. The gain or directivity of an antenna is the ratio of the radiation intensity in a given direction to the radiation intensity averaged over all directions.\n\n \n\nQuite often directivity and gain are used interchangeably. The difference is that directivity neglects antenna losses such as dielectric, resistance, polarization, and VSWR losses. Since these losses in most classes of antennas are usually quite small, the directivity and gain will be approximately equal (disregarding unwanted pattern characteristics).\n\nNormalizing a radiation pattern by the integrated total power yields the directivity of the antenna. This concept in shown in equation form by:\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAnother important concept is that when the angle in which the radiation is constrained is reduced, the directive gain goes up. For example, using an isotropic radiating source, the gain would be 0 dB by definition (Figure 2(a)) and the power density (Pd) at any given point would be the power in (Pin) divided by the surface area of the imaginary sphere at a distance R from the source. If the spacial angle was decreased to one hemisphere (Figure 2(b)), the power radiated, Pin, would be the same but the area would be half as much, so the gain would double to 3 dB. Likewise if the angle is a quarter sphere, (Figure 2(c)), the gain would be 6 dB. Figure 2(d) shows a pencil beam. The gain is independent of actual power output and radius (distance) at which measurements are taken.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\nReal antennas are different, however, and do not have an ideal radiation distribution. Energy varies with angular displacement and losses occur due to sidelobes.\n\nHowever, if we can measure the pattern, and determine the beamwidth we can use two (or more) ideal antenna models to approximate a real antenna pattern as shown in Figure 3.\n\n\n \n\nAssuming the antenna pattern is uniform, the gain is equal to the area of the isotropic sphere (4r 2 ) divided by the sector (cross section) area.\n\n\n\n\nIt can be shown that:\n\n\n\n\nFrom this point, two different models are presented:\n\n(1) Approximating an antenna pattern using an elliptical area, and\n\n(2) Approximating an antenna pattern using a rectangular area.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nApproximating the antenna pattern as an elliptical area:\n \nArea of ellipse = a b = [ (r sin )/2 ][ (r sin )/2 ]= ( r 2 sin sin )/4\n\n\n\nFor small angles, sin = in radians, so:\n\n\n\n\nThe second term in the equation above is very close to equation [3].\n\nFor a very directional radar dish with a beamwidth of 1° and an average efficiency of 55%:\n\nIdeally: G = 52525, or in dB form: 10 log G =10 log 52525 = 47.2 dB\n\nWith efficiency taken into account, G = 0.55(52525) = 28888, or in log form: 10 log G = 44.6 dB\n\n \n\nApproximating the antenna pattern as a rect

Who are Rajputs?

The Rajputs rose to political importance in India in ninth century. They were either descended from the Huns settled in northern India or from those tribes who had entered India together with with the Hun invaders. The Rajputs became subjects of older Hindu kingdoms and assisted them in holding back the Arab advance. Hindu princes formally accepted the barbarian Rajputs as nobles in a fire ceremony at Mount Abu in western India. Four of the Rajput clans claimed later a special status on the grounds that they decsended from a mythical figure who arose out of a vast sacrificial fire pit near Mt. Abu. The Rajput princes became subsequently the principal defenders of India against the Moslems.\n\nAccording to a mythical narration, the Rajputs originated from the sacrificial fire performed by Vashistha and other saints near the Nakhi Lake on Mount Abu with a view to containing the growing strength of demons. As the narration goes, four warriors came out of the sacrificial fire and destroyed the demons. The descendants of those four warriors came to be known from their name. They are:\n\n(1) ‘Agnikul’ (the Fire lineage): The sub-castes of this lineage are Kala, Kalam, Kher, Chavada, Chad, Mori, Mahipal, Rehvar, Survar, Hada, Solanki etc.\n\n(2) ‘Yadaukul (the Yadava lineage): The sub-castes of the lineage comprise Jadava, Jadeja, Chudasma, Rajada, Bhati, Jat etc.\n\n(3) ‘Suryakul (the Sun lineage): The sub-castes include Gelot, Vala, Sisodiya, Gohil, Rathod, Jodha, Vaghela.\n\n(4) The Odak lineage: The sub-castes included Kamad, Jethwa, Chavada, Dabhi, Makwana, and Zala; these are the chief ones that first settled in Gujarat and later moved to other places. There are said to be 36 families of the Odak lineage.\n\nThe Rajput reign in Gujarat commenced from the rule of King Jaishikhari of Panchasar. In fact, detailed history of the Rajput rule over Gujarat dates back from Vallabhipur where Gujarat dates back from Vallabhipur where Bhattark was the ruler then.\n\nJaishikhari succeeded Bhattrak. Between the 8th and the 10th centuries of Vikarm Samvat, jaishikhari and his son Vanaraj Chavada reigned for a long time. Then came Yograj, and the last chavada king was Samantsinh. The Solanki period in Gujarat started with Mularaj Solanki’s advent to the throne. Important Solanki kings after Mulraj included Bhimev I, Sidhraj Jaisinh, Kumarpal and Tribhuvanpal-the last in the solanki dynasty. The Solanki kings of course, did not rule over the entire Gujarat as Ra Navaghan and Ra Khengar also ruled over Junagadh during that period, nevertheless, the Rajputs reigned over large parts of Gujarat and Saurashtra for a long period of nearly 500 years.\n\nThe Rajputs worked in armies as soldiers of acted as bodyguards and watchmen. They did not yield on matters or principles. Loyalty and trustworthiness were their outstanding traits.\n\nWith the passage of time the Rajputs lost their prowess mainly because of disunity among various ruling families. They could not adjust their tunes with the changing times and continued to live in false beliefs of pried and past glory and ruined themselves. The wise among them quickly learnt to adjust with changing times.\n\nMany Rajputs have now joined the police department. Some of them, called Garasias, have become agriculturists. The Rajpurs or Kshattriyas as they are now called have created a dominant position in politics of Gujarat and have emerged as an important section of the ruling class. In olden days the Rajputs used to put on ‘Safas’, ‘Kediya’ and breeches type of trousers or ‘dhoti’ in a Marathi style. They also used to move about with swords. The attire of the Rajput women is no different from that of any other Gujarati women, except the sari that they were is comparatively shorter. There are minor variations in the matter of dress among the Rajputs of Saurashtra region and those living in other parts of Gujarat.\n\nThe Rajputs have generally a whitish complexion and are strong-build

What is the way of Salvation?

Is there a heaven and a hell?

The way to salvation is as easy as A-B-C.\n\nA/ Accept the Jesus Christ as your personal Lord\n\nB/ Believe on the Lord with all your heart and soul\n\nC/ Confess your sins to Him, Only He can and will forgive.\n\nRomans 10:9-10\n\nI ask that you take the time to read in the KJV of the Bible the following scriptures:\n\nRomans 10:13\nRomans 6:23\nJohn 3:16\nLuke 13:3\nMatthew 9:13\nJames 4:7\n\n\nYes, there is a Heaven and a Hell.\n\nRevelation 21:1-2\nLuke 23:43\n2 Corinthians 5:1-4\nGenesis 1:8\nGenesis 2:1\n\nHell - derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: \n\n(1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask," "demand;" hence insatiableness (Prov. 30:15, 16). It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times (Gen. 37:35; 42:38; 44:29, 31; 1 Sam. 2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. \n\nIn thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered "hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" (Prov. 21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Num. 16:33; Job 24:19; Ps. 9:17; 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Ps. 16:10; 30:3; 49:15; 86:13, etc.). \n\nSheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (10:21, 22), with bars (17:16). The dead "go down" to it (Num. 16:30, 33; Ezek. 31:15, 16, 17). \n\n(2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison (1 Pet. 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Matt. 16:18; Rev. 1:18), and it is downward (Matt. 11:23; Luke 10:15). \n\nThe righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise (Luke 23:43). They are also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22). \n\nHeaven - (1.) Definitions. The phrase "heaven and earth" is used to indicate the whole universe (Gen. 1:1; Jer. 23:24; Acts 17:24). According to the Jewish notion there were three heavens, \n\n(a) The firmament, as "fowls of the heaven" (Gen. 2:19; 7:3, 23; Ps. 8:8, etc.), "the eagles of heaven" (Lam. 4:19), etc. \n\n(b) The starry heavens (Deut. 17:3; Jer. 8:2; Matt. 24:29). \n\n(c) "The heaven of heavens," or "the third heaven" (Deut. 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; Ps. 115:16; 148:4; 2 Cor. 12:2). \n\n(2.) Meaning of words in the original, \n\n(a) The usual Hebrew word for "heavens" is shamayim, a plural form meaning "heights," "elevations" (Gen. 1:1; 2:1). \n\n(b) The Hebrew word marom is also used (Ps. 68:18; 93:4; 102:19, etc.) as equivalent to shamayim, "high places," "heights." \n\n(c) Heb. galgal, literally a "wheel," is rendered "heaven" in Ps. 77:18 (R.V., "whirlwind"). \n\n(d) Heb. shahak, rendered "sky" (Deut. 33:26; Job 37:18; Ps. 18:11), plural "clouds" (Job 35:5; 36:28; Ps. 68:34, marg. "heavens"), means probably the firmament. \n\n(e) Heb. rakia is closely connected with (d), and is rendered "firmamentum" in the Vulgate, whence our "firmament" (Gen. 1:6; Deut. 33:26, etc.), regarded as a solid expanse. \n\n(3.) Metaphorical meaning of term. Isa. 14:13, 14; "doors of heaven" (Ps. 78:23); heaven "shut" (1 Kings 8:35); "opened" (Ezek. 1:1). (See 1 Chr. 21:16.) \n\n(4.) Spiritual meaning. The place of the everlasting blessedness of the righteous; the abode of departed spirits. \n\n(a) Christ calls it his "Father's house" (John 14:2). \n\n(b) It is called "paradise" (Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 12:4; Rev. 2:7). \n\n(c) "The heavenly Jerusalem" (Gal. 4: 26; Heb. 12:22; Rev. 3:12). \n\n

Metaphorical meaning of term. Isa. 14:13, 14; "doors of heaven" (Ps. 78:23); heaven "shut" (1 Kings 8:35); "opened" (Ezek. 1:1). (See 1 Chr. 21:16.) \n\n(4.) Spiritual meaning. The place of the everlasting blessedness of the righteous; the abode of departed spirits. \n\n(a) Christ calls it his "Father's house" (John 14:2). \n\n(b) It is called "paradise" (Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 12:4; Rev. 2:7). \n\n(c) "The heavenly Jerusalem" (Gal. 4: 26; Heb. 12:22; Rev. 3:12). \n\n

What are the main teachings of the Buddha?

* Four Noble Truths\n* Noble Eightfold Path\n* Law of Depending Origination\n* Three Marks of Existence\n* Rejection of infallibility of accepted scripture: teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experiences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha )\n\n----------------------------------------\nThe core of the teachings seem to be the 4 noble truths and the 8-fold path (which is part of the 4 noble truths)... if you want to focus on the practice, or "path" then you can think of the 8-fold path as 3 groups:\n\nMorality, Concentration, and Wisdom. These are important.\n\nMorality means living a good life. This is the foundation for developing concentration. If someone only teaches morality, people will hear it in one ear and go out the other ear.\n\nConcentration will also help you be moral. And it will help you with the next step of gaining insight. It helps in your mundane and supramundane endeavors.\n\nWisdom is really what's important. Developing wisdom will also help morality and concentration. There's 3 kinds:\n1) Scriptural\n2) Intellectual\n3) Experiential\n\n1) If you only believe what you read or what someone told you, that's good (if it's true). Good because others may not have been so lucky and might not know. It can point you in the right direction. But if you stop there you limit yourself.\n2) Humans are rational beings, so they should think about it... but like a good lawyer you might convince "yourself" that "you" are right... this can be good but also can be limiting if you stop here.\n3) The most important wisdom is experiential wisdom that you experience yourself--NOT the wisdom you hear about or read about or think about. The wisdom of an enlightened person or saint or sage is not your own wisdom. No one else can taste for you, only you can know what it tastes like.\n\nI think these 3 are what's important, like 3 legs of a tripod, they help support each other, as you gain strength they work together.\n\n----------------------------------------\n* Four Noble Truths (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths ):\n1) Life involves Dukkha (roughly unsatisfactory)\n2) The Cause of Dukkha (craving)\n3) The End of Dukkha (it can be removed)\n4) There is a Path out of Dukkha a.k.a. The Noble 8-Fold Path.\n\n* The 8-Fold Path could be grouped into (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path ):\n1) Morality\n2) Concentration\n3) Wisdom/Insight\n\nWisdom (Panna): \n1) Right View\n2) Right Intention\nMorality (Sila):\n3) Right Speech\n4) Right Action\n5) Right Livelihood\nConcentration (Samadhi):\n6) Right Effort\n7) Right Mindfulness\n8) Right Concentration\n\n* Depending Origination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_origination )\nIt's like 12 links in a chain, with one causing the next:\n(1) Ignorance\n(2) Mental dispositions\n(3) Consciousness\n(4) Mind and Matter\n(5) Sense doors\n(6) Contact\n(7) Feeling\n(8) Desire\n(9) Attachment\n(10) Becoming\n(11) Birth\n(12) Old age and death\nBecause of ignorance, mental dispositions arise, and thus does consciousness which in turn causes mind and matter. This mind/matter phenomenon (your body) has sense doors, and inevitably they will come in contact with something. The contact causes a feeling to arise to which you tend to have a craving, clinging, then happens becoming, birth, then age & death.\n\n* Three Marks of existence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_marks_of_existence )\n1) Dukkha - Suffering - Nothing in the physical/mental world can bring lasting satisfaction.\n2) Anicca - Impermanence - all conditioned things are in a constant state of flux... "everything changes"\n3) Anatta - No Self - There's no central unchanging core or essence (soul) that lasts forever in the physical/mental world... everything changes, remember?

Is it the Land of the chosen people?

For anyone who believes the Torah, Bible and Qu'ran as the three monotheistic faiths recognised from Abraham and his sons:\n\nI've heard from alot of my furious Muslim friends about how Israel should give it's land back to the Palestinians, and refuse to call Israel by it's name, but refer to it as 'Palestine'.\nIf this is the case, and they supposedly believe in the Bible, Torah as said in the Qu'ran that it is a 'continuation' of these faiths, why don't they know or believe the story of Moses and how he led the Israelite slaves from slavery in Ancient Egypt, parted the Red Sea and led the people to Israel, Land of the Chosen people, so it was called.\n\nHow does Israel belong to the Palestineans from the religious point-of-view if Moses, a Prophet in the eyes of Islam as well, led the Israelis to what is Present-day Israel?\nThat's what I don't understand.

schneb, on the contrary, 2500 B.C the cannanites from southeast Arab occupied the area and were said to be the first to occupy the land. They were said to be the first to name the area Urusalem i.e. Jerusalem. The first king and religious leader of the tribe was Sadek. It was said that during the time of Sadek, Abraham (a prophet in Islam as well as few other religions) brought Islam to the area.\n\nIt should be understood that for Muslims, the religions of their forefathers' prophets has always been Islam i.e. Adam is a muslim, Abraham is a muslim, Moses is a muslim, King David is a muslim as well as Solomon and Jesus. Mohammed was sent to redirect the faulty that mankind has created in this initially pure religion by altering and mending the books of God i.e. Torah, Bible and Zabur (sorry not sure of the English translation for this particular book). The Quran is, as believed by the muslims, words of God that corrects the amendments as well as bringing the messege of God's One-ness.\n\n2000 B.C. the Amorites (from the same origin as the Cannanites) joined in with the Cannanites followed by the Phonicians that came from the north.\n\nThen only at around 1300-1200 BC, the Philistines race occupied the south of Jerusalem. It is believed that it was around this time that Moses and his followers left ancient Egypt which was then (believed to be) ruled by Ramses II. His followers were said to be of 6000-8000 people. They occupied East of Jerusalem i.e. East of Dead Sea which did put pressure on the Cannanites, the original occupier of that area.\n\nThe Quran doesn;t mention Jerusalem by Jerusalem or by its arabic name,Baitul Maqdis. The Quran refers it by the name of the Holy Mosque within Jerusalem, Masjid Al-Aqsa.\n\nIt was between 1025-586 BC that the Israelites, followers of a few prophets in Islam (different time span), e.g. King David and Solomon, occupied Jerusalem. It was also within this time that the First Temple was built i.e. around 3000 years ago.\n\n586 BC - King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon conquered the Israelites and brought them to Babylon as prisoners of war. It was between this time that the Old Testament was WRITTEN.\n\n539-331 BC - Persian King, Cyrus defeated the babylonians and conquered Jerusalem. He allowed the Israelites brought to Babylon (above) to come back to Jerusalem.\n\nThe authorities in Jerusalem changed hands quite a few time after that, starting with Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Maccabean Jews, King Titus of Rome (that completely destroyed the Temple and killed many Jewish people in Jerusalem), Uryanus of Rome (prevent a rebellion from Jews at 117-138 AD and almost wiped out the whole Jewish population in Jerusalem) and finally the Byzantine Empire until 636 AD when Muslims under the leadership of Umar Al-Khattab, the 2nd caliph after the life of Mohammed.\n\nThus, it is almost impossible that Jerusalem been a Jewish capital for 3300 years if there were so many empires taking turns to conquer Jerusalem, what more with the likes of mighty Rome.\n\n363 AD, the muslims take over Jerusalem from Byzantine under the Umariyah Peace Treaty. There was no war on that day, as the Byzantine surrendered peacefully.\n\n7th June 1099, the Crusades army took over Jerusalem. 70,000 people were killed despite seeking refuge in mosques. They remained in charge for 91 years.\n\nBetween then and 1187, battles took place between the muslim army lead by Salahuddin Al-Ayubi (Saladin) and the crusades army. A 3 year ceasefire treaty was signed between the 2 parties. But during the early months of 1187, Arnat, one of the generals in the crusade army broke that treaty by ambushing a muslim trade convoy from Egypt to Damascus. Saladin demanded the convoy to be released but Arnat replied synically, "Tell Mohammed to release you all" At that time, Saladin swore to kill Arnat.\n\nMay 1187, Battle of Shufuriyyah between the muslim army and the Crusade army took place to lure the crusade army out of th

Is it the Land of the chosen people?For anyone who believes the Torah, Bible and Qu'ran as the three monotheistic faiths recognised from Abraham and his sons:\n\nI've heard from alot of my furious Muslim friends about how Israel should give it's land back to the Palestinians, and refuse to call Israel by it's name, but refer to it as 'Palestine'.\nIf this is the case, and they supposedly believe in the Bible, Torah as said in the Qu'ran that it is a 'continuation' of these faiths, why don't they know or believe the story of Moses and how he led the Israelite slaves from slavery in Ancient Egypt, parted the Red Sea and led the people to Israel, Land of the Chosen people, so it was called.\n\nHow does Israel belong to the Palestineans from the religious point-of-view if Moses, a Prophet in the eyes of Islam as well, led the Israelis to what is Present-day Israel?\nThat's what I don't understand.schneb, on the contrary, 2500 B.C the cannanites from southeast Arab occupied the area and were said to be the first to occupy the land. They were said to be the first to name the area Urusalem i.e. Jerusalem. The first king and religious leader of the tribe was Sadek. It was said that during the time of Sadek, Abraham (a prophet in Islam as well as few other religions) brought Islam to the area.\n\nIt should be understood that for Muslims, the religions of their forefathers' prophets has always been Islam i.e. Adam is a muslim, Abraham is a muslim, Moses is a muslim, King David is a muslim as well as Solomon and Jesus. Mohammed was sent to redirect the faulty that mankind has created in this initially pure religion by altering and mending the books of God i.e. Torah, Bible and Zabur (sorry not sure of the English translation for this particular book). The Quran is, as believed by the muslims, words of God that corrects the amendments as well as bringing the messege of God's One-ness.\n\n2000 B.C. the Amorites (from the same origin as the Cannanites) joined in with the Cannanites followed by the Phonicians that came from the north.\n\nThen only at around 1300-1200 BC, the Philistines race occupied the south of Jerusalem. It is believed that it was around this time that Moses and his followers left ancient Egypt which was then (believed to be) ruled by Ramses II. His followers were said to be of 6000-8000 people.

what do you know about an irish saint brigid anemone?

i would love som fun facts about her if possible

She's got a flower named after her.\n\n February 1st is the Feast of St Brigid, which is also (in Ireland) the first day of spring.\n\nSt Brigid is one of the three patron saints of Ireland, together with St Patrick and St Columcille (also known as St Columba). She is much revered, and there are many stories about her. She was a strong and determined woman at a time when Ireland was just becoming Christian.\nShe became the Abbott of a mixed (male / female) monastery, and was made a bishop (see below).\n\nShe is not to be confused with St Birgitta of Sweden.\n\nSt. Brigid (or Bridget, Brighid, Bridgid or Bríd)\nholds a special place for the Irish people. St. Brigid's Day is on February 1st. It is very significant in Dundalk, Co. Louth.\nIt is said that St. Brigid was born just outside Dundalk, in a place called Faughart. http://www.iol.ie/~marist/halo/halobridgid.htm\n\nThere are a number of traditions associated with St. Brigid.\nhttp://www.iol.ie/~marist/halo/halobridgid/bridgidtrads.html\n\nThe St. Brigids Cross\nThe most characteristic and most widespread Irish custom connected with St. Brigid's Eve was the making of the "cros Bríde"or "Bogha Bríde" (St. Brigid's Cross) to invoke protection. The most usual type was very simple in design but of course these were variations - one of these in fact, was adopted as its symbol by Radio Telefís Eireann, the Irish broadcasting service.\nThe making of the crosses was attended with some ceremony.\n\nhttp://www.iol.ie/~marist/halo/halobridgid/images/usual.jpg\n\nIn the southern half of the country the cross was sprinkled with holy waters, hung up above or close to the entrance door with an appropriate prayer but in the northern of the country the ritual was much more elaborate, especially in Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, most parts of Ulster and also in the Dundalk area of Co. Louth: One of the family, a girl, representing the Saint leaves the house and when outside knocks three times to gain admittance. She carries rushes in her hands. Each time on knocking she says:\n\n"Teighidh sibh ar bhus nglúna, déaraidh sibh umhlaíocht, agus ligigidh Bríd Bheannachtach isteach".\n(Which means "Go down on your knees, do homage and let Blessed Brigid enter the house").\n\nWhen this has been said for the third time, those inside respond " O tar isteach, tá céad fáilte romhat". (O, Come in, you are a hundred times welcome).\n\nThen she enters and places the rushes on the table. The supper has already been laid out on the table and the following grace is recited by the father and mother:"Beannaigh sinn, a Dhia, beannaigh ár mbiadh agus ár ndeach, is tú a cheannaigh sinn go daor, soar sinn ar gach olc!"(Bless us, O God, bless our food and our drink; it is Thou who has redeemed us at great price, deliver us form all evil!).When the supper was eaten the parents recite a long thanksgiving prayer.\n\nIn explanation of why the crosses were made and put up tradition without hesitation answers 'protection'. Protection against fire, storm and lightening is the most usual reason given but also illness and disease.\n\nLook at more cross types here:\nhttp://www.iol.ie/~marist/halo/halobridgid/bridgiddecor.html\n\n\nThe Candlelight Procession\nOn the eve of St. Brigid's Day, there is a candlelight procession from Faughart graveyard, the location of St. Brigid's Well, past St. Brigid's Shrine up to Kilcurry Church, approximately 3 miles away. Then prayers are said, including the Rosary.\n\nSt. Brigid's Well\n\nThe graveyard in Faughart, just outside Dundalk, Co. Louth,is the location of an old well, normally associated with St. Brigid. It is said that the water in the Well rises on her feast day, February 1st. The graveyard is actually at one of the highest points in the area, and therefore so too is the Well.

what are the long terms effect of consuming marijuana everyday? Does it have any high BP (hypertension) link?

There is some evidence from human studies that long-term marijuana use\ncan have adverse effects, although it seems that the spectrum of these\neffects is narrower than previously thought and mainly centres around\ncognitive (intellectual) function.\n\nA paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) vol.\n287 No. 9, March 6, 2002, pp. 1123-1131) found that long-term cannabis\nusers performed less well than shorter-term users and controls (people\nwho didn’t use cannabis) in tests of memory and attention. The\nlong-term users averaged 23.9 years of use, compared with 10.2 years\nin the shorter-term users. You can find an abstract at the American\nMedical Association web site: \nhttp://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n9/abs/joc11416.html , but access\nto the full text requires subscription to the journal. Note that the\ncomments associated with the article (links to them are underneath the\nabstract) indicate that some other investigators do not agree with\nthis conclusion.\n\nAnother study published in a Canadian medical journal (CMAJ 2002 Apr\n2;166(7):887-91 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11949984&dopt=Abstract)\nfound that: “Current marijuana use had a negative effect on global IQ\nscore only in subjects who smoked 5 or more joints per week. A\nnegative effect was not observed among subjects who had previously\nbeen heavy users but were no longer using the substance. We conclude\nthat marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global\nintelligence.” This study compared IQ scores of individuals aged 9-12\nyears before they started using cannabis, with their scores at 17-20\nyears. Light users, former users and non-users showed a gain in IQ\nover the same period.\n\nOne reason for the decreased IQ and memory in consistent heavy users\ncould be the fact that long-term cannabis use has been found to\ndecrease blood flow to the front areas of the brain (Neurotoxicology\nand Teratology 2001 Sep-Oct; vol 23 pp. 437-43 Frontal lobe\ndysfunction in long-term cannabis users by Lundqvist T, Jonsson S,\nWarkentin S. of the Division of Medical Neurochemistry, Lund\nUniversity Hospital, 221 85, Lund, Sweden \nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11711246&dopt=Abstract\n\nA study published in Public Health and Nutrition, June 2001, vol. 4\npp. 781-786 (Dietary intake and nutritional status of US adult\nmarijuana users: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition\nExamination Survey. By Smit E, Crespo CJ. of the Department of Social\nand Preventive Medicine, SUNY School of Medicine, University at\nBuffalo, Buffalo, NY 14214, USA.\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11415485&dopt=Abstract\n) found that marijuana users have lower levels of carotenoids in the\nserum. The authors concluded this was associated with different\ndietary habits: “We found higher cigarette-smoking rates and higher\nconsumption of sodas and alcohol, specifically beer, among marijuana\nusers than among non-current marijuana users. Marijuana users also\nconsumed more sodium, fewer fruits, and more pork, cheese, and salty\nsnacks.” Carotenoids are important anti-oxidants which help to\nprevent cancer and other diseases. An increased risk of these\ndiseases might be due not so much to marijuana use itself as to the\nlifestyle led by many who use it. Better attention to nutrition, in\norder to ensure a good intake of fresh fruit and vegetables,\nparticularly the red, yellow and orange ones, will help to boost\nantioxidant status (see below)\n\nA review of various studies came to the conclusion that: “Regular\nmarijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in\nthe structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially\npredisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer.” Alveolar\nmacrophages are cells in the lungs that help clear away debris and\nba

You can find an abstract at the American\nMedical Association web site: \nhttp://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v287n9/abs/joc11416.html , but access\nto the full text requires subscription to the journal. Note that the\ncomments associated with the article (links to them are underneath the\nabstract) indicate that some other investigators do not agree with\nthis conclusion.\n\nAnother study published in a Canadian medical journal (CMAJ 2002 Apr\n2;166(7):887-91 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11949984&dopt=Abstract)\nfound that: “Current marijuana use had a negative effect on global IQ\nscore only in subjects who smoked 5 or more joints per week. A\nnegative effect was not observed among subjects who had previously\nbeen heavy users but were no longer using the substance. We conclude\nthat marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global\nintelligence.” This study compared IQ scores of individuals aged 9-12\nyears before they started using cannabis, with their scores at 17-20\nyears. Light users, former users and non-users showed a gain in IQ\nover the same period.\n\nOne reason for the decreased IQ and memory in consistent heavy users\ncould be the fact that long-term cannabis use has been found to\ndecrease blood flow to the front areas of the brain (Neurotoxicology\nand Teratology 2001 Sep-Oct; vol 23 pp. 437-43 Frontal lobe\ndysfunction in long-term cannabis users by Lundqvist T, Jonsson S,\nWarkentin S. of the Division of Medical Neurochemistry, Lund\nUniversity Hospital, 221 85, Lund, Sweden \nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11711246&dopt=Abstract\n\nA study published in Public Health and Nutrition, June 2001, vol. 4\npp. 781-786 (Dietary intake and nutritional status of US adult\nmarijuana users: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition\nExamination Survey. By Smit E, Crespo CJ. of the Department of Social\nand Preventive Medicine, SUNY School of Medicine, University at\nBuffalo, Buffalo, NY 14214, USA.\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11415485&dopt=Abstract\n) found that marijuana users have lower levels of carotenoids in the\nserum. The authors concluded this was associated with different\ndietary habits: “We found higher cigarette-smoking rates and higher\nconsumption of sodas and alcohol, specifically beer, among marijuana\nusers than among non-current marijuana users. Marijuana users also\nconsumed more sodium, fewer fruits, and more pork, cheese, and salty\nsnacks.” Carotenoids are important anti-oxidants which help to\nprevent cancer and other diseases. An increased risk of these\ndiseases might be due not so much to marijuana use itself as to the\nlifestyle led by many who use it. Better attention to nutrition, in\norder to ensure a good intake of fresh fruit and vegetables,\nparticularly the red, yellow and orange ones, will help to boost\nantioxidant status (see below)\n\nA review of various studies came to the conclusion that: “Regular\nmarijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in\nthe structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially\npredisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer.” Alveolar\nmacrophages are cells in the lungs that help clear away debris and\nba

AFTERLIFE???????????????????????

anybody has a opinion

This Life is temporary. 60,70,even 100 years at the most. Time flies by everyday. One thing everyone can agree on is that One day we will all Die. But the differences come on what will happen after Death or if anything will. From the Islamic view we beleive this life is a Test to see who will enter Heaven and who will enter Hell. The way to Heaven is to Obey and worship God. By following God's rules and restrictions. Since God is PERFECT we should expect that the path to Him would be from a Perfect Source. That would be the Quran and God challenges any one to find any doubt in it or produce a single chapter like it.\n"1 Alif. Lam. Mim. \n2 This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil). \n3 Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them; \n4 And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter. \n5 These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful." (Ch.2, Verses 1-5)\n"Or do they say: "He (Muhammad SAW) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Soorah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!" (Chapter #10, Verse #38)\n\nAs Muslims we beleive that after Death everybody who everlived will be Ressurrected Again For The Day Of Judgement. In which we will find out who is going to Heaven or HEll. As stated in the Quran.\n"48 And they say: "When will this promise (i.e. Resurrection) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?" \n49 They await only but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), which will seize them while they are disputing! \n50 Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor they will return to their family. \n51 And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold! From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord. \n52 They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep." (It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Beneficent (Allah) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!" \n53 It will be but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), so behold! They will all be brought up before Us! \n54 This Day (Day of Resurrection), none will be wronged in anything, nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do. \n55 Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy in joyful things. \n56 They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones. \n57 They will have therein fruits (of all kinds) and all that they ask for. \n58 (It will be said to them): Salamun (peace be on you), a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful. \n59 (It will be said): "And O you Al-Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Islamic Monotheism, wicked evil ones, etc.)! Get you apart this Day (from the believers). \n60 Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitan (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you. \n61 And that you should worship Me (Alone Islamic Monotheism, and set up not rivals, associate-gods with Me). That is a Straight Path. \n62 And indeed he (Satan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand? \n63 This is Hell which you were promised! \n64 Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve. \n65 This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that ones left thigh will be the first to bear the witness).

Why is the human brain capable of learning for 1,000's of years but we die in 70 or 80? Not "How"

I asked this question and I got a lot of "how" answers but no "why" answers. One Professor Beatz gave a long explanation about how the dna is at the ends, the one strand, being continuously copied, goes al the way, while the other stand misses the last few nucleotides...The result is that you DNA is buffered with a lot of junk at the ends in order to prevent the replication process form destroying useful genes. But eventually, after many years, this gradual attenuation of the ends of the DNA will result in the loss of important information. As this happens, the aging process results in cells that don't function as fully as they should. Gradually, the loss of information from your DNA will result in the failure of your body to do what it needs to do. \n OK OK OK but WHY DOES that happen? Can you answer that Professor? Turtles live over 200 years why do we grow old and die in only 80 with so much of our brain capacity wasted.

The answer is that there is a continual battle between two evolutionary strategies taht exist at opposite ends of a spectrum. The strategies are callef r-selection and K-selection (named for variables in the Verhulst equation of population dynamics). Each strategy is designed to maximize population under different conditions.\n\nThe r-selective strategy focuses on trying to create as many offspirng as possible in as little time as possible. There is little attention given to the strength of the individual offspring, and the perpetuation of progeny is accomplished by sheer numbers. A good example of this is seen in cockroaches and spiders. A mother might lay thousands upon thousands of eggs, but most of the eggs will not survive until maturity. In fact, in some species the mother might even devour some of her own young, destroying the weakest who cannot escape while the strongest press on. Typical of the r-selective strategy is high numbers of offstring per parent, short lives, rapid approach to sexual maturity, and high mortality rates (especially among those not yet sexually mature).\n\nThe K-selective strategy is the opposite. Each parent will have a few offspring, but they will invest a lot in each offspring (metabolically, behaviorally, etc). The Emporer Penguin is a good example of the K-strategy (relative to most avian species). The K-selective species have delayed sexual maturity, lower mortality rates, and fewer births per parent. These organisms will live a longer time.\n\nThere are forces that pull a species in one direction or another. If the species is operating at or near the carrying capacity for the species in the habitat, then the drift will be towards K-selection. If high mortality is inevitable, then things drift towards r-selection.\n\nIn the human world, we see that these sorts of strategies are moving in different directions in real time. In China, the one-child policy is puching things towards K-selection by creating higher investments in the children (ie parents in China take much more active roles in their childrens lives in China today that was possible when concerns were divided among several children), while in Western Europe the legislative actions that have forced greater invetment in children (ie education and laobr laws) have pushed the K-selective strategy of reducing the number of children (the fertility of Western Europe is extremely low). Conversely, in war-wotrn places, people are more sexually active at younger ages and have more children, even as infant mortality soars. In America today, one can see the different approaches between the upper class families which likely have children who will each have college funds and will marry late and have few siblings, compared to larger families in the lower economic ranks where families are likely to be big, kids will have more need to take care of themselves (or even their parents) financially, and sexual activity and pregnancy will likely come at an earlier age. This is typical of r-selection, and these people will likely live shorter lives.\n\nThe answer then is that the length of the human life is balanced by these things. Epidemics, crime, and war will shorten the life by means other than genetic means. But as this happens, the species will only grow if it is able to reporduce quickly and frequently. While this is happening, natural selection is focused on making the species reproduce quickly, and no "effort" (for want of a better word--please forgive me for anthropomorphisizng the idea of evolution, but it helps to think of the trends in terms of directed action, even though that is not how eveolution works) will be directed toward many quick births.\n\nOnce you pass the age of sexual activity and/or fertility, evolution cannot work on you at all. Evolution functions by making more offspring in those that successfully reproduce than those that don't. Successful reproduction can be stopped by death (which is

Can you prove this trivial statement about points and straight lines?

There are N (here N is a finite number) points distributed in the plane (plain surface).\nConfigurations with ALL N points arranged along a single straight line are disregarded.\n \nProve that there exists at least one straight line \ngoing through ONLY TWO points from the given generic set of points.

milkyway: \nI think your answer is incomplete. Unfortunately, I don't have my own proof, but let me criticize yours. \nSorry.:-)\n\nWhat is definitely proven by induction in your post is that you are able to construct an acceptable set of N points. However, in my view, your reasoning does not prove the statement for a given set.\n\n1. From the very beginning, you have N points. How can one realize the induction scheme in this case? Perhaps, you mean that you can temporarily erase N-3 points (keeping in mind their positions) and start with 3 points forming a triangle, or "3 couples" in your terms. Then you restore the erased points one by one at their positions. I believe this should be explained in your proof. \n\n2. Note that if you start with 3 aligned points, by "restoring" the 4th point, you can generate an allowed set of N+1 points out of the prohibited set of N points. This is missing in your proof, where you deal only with allowed N-sets. \n\nBut this is not the most serious flaw there.\n\n3. You write: "now, this way there always are the old two couples, plus two new couples (new point-non aligned point of each of such two couples). So going from N to N+1, the number of acceptable couples is always >=3." \n\nI disagree with this statement. \n\nIndeed, imagine that the three couples, which work at the stage N, form a triangle. Aligning the newly "restored" point with one side of the triangle, you kill one working couple. Still you have the two remaining old couples and get a possibly working new couple (new point -- non aligned point of the triangle). However, it is not at all guaranteed that there is no other point lying on the line going through this new possibly working couple. If such point exists, the number of working couples in this case gets reduced from 3 to 2 when going from N to N+1. At the next step, this way I will reduce the number of working couples from 2 to 1 and so on.\n\nThe transition from N to N+1 is therefore not justified.\n\n4. A general question. For N=infinity the statement is false for points located at nodes of a regular \n(say, square) lattice. Doesn't it contradict to the very idea of proving this statement by induction?\n\n\n------------------------------\n\n\n\n\nHere is my proof.\n\nGiven a set of N points, the number of all possible couples is M=N(N-1)/2.\n\nFor each couple draw a straight line going through it. We get M lines.\n\nLet us assume that the statement we are going to prove is false: i.e., none of those M lines goes through ONLY TWO points.\n\nThen, of course, each of those M lines coincides with at least the two other lines, so the actual number of distinguishable lines K < M.\n\nWe have N points and K different lines.\n\nEach of the NK pairs (point + line) is characterised by a distance S(n,k) between the point n and the line k. \n\nThis distance S(n,k) is defined as a length of a segment perpendicular to the line k with one of the ends lying on the line k and the other end coinciding with the point n.\n\nLet us list all the NK distances S(n,k). Since NK is a finite integer number, one can find the shortest value (or several equal shortest values) of S(n,k). \n\nTake a closer look at the point P and the line L with the shortest S(n=P,k=L).\n\nBy assumption, there are at least three points (L1,L2, and L3) lying on the line L. Therefore, at least two of these three points (say, L1 and L2) can be found to the one side (say, to the right) of the point A where the perpendicular to the line L starting at the point P hits the line L. The case when one of the three points (say, L1) coincides with the point A is treated in exactly the same way.\n\nNow we have a triangle (P-L1-L2), with two vertices L1 and L2 lying on the line L to the right of A in the order A,L1,L2 from left to right. \n\nSince L1 lies to the right of A (or coincides with A), the angle between P-L1 and L1-L2 is greater than (or equal to) pi/2.\n\nTherefore t

We get M lines.\n\nLet us assume that the statement we are going to prove is false: i.e., none of those M lines goes through ONLY TWO points.\n\nThen, of course, each of those M lines coincides with at least the two other lines, so the actual number of distinguishable lines K < M.\n\nWe have N points and K different lines.\n\nEach of the NK pairs (point + line) is characterised by a distance S(n,k) between the point n and the line k. \n\nThis distance S(n,k) is defined as a length of a segment perpendicular to the line k with one of the ends lying on the line k and the other end coinciding with the point n.\n\nLet us list all the NK distances S(n,k). Since NK is a finite integer number, one can find the shortest value (or several equal shortest values) of S(n,k). \n\nTake a closer look at the point P and the line L with the shortest S(n=P,k=L).\n\nBy assumption, there are at least three points (L1,L2, and L3) lying on the line L. Therefore, at least two of these three points (say, L1 and L2) can be found to the one side (say, to the right) of the point A where the perpendicular to the line L starting at the point P hits the line L. The case when one of the three points (say, L1) coincides with the point A is treated in exactly the same way.\n\nNow we have a triangle (P-L1-L2), with two vertices L1 and L2 lying on the line L to the right of A in the order A,L1,L2 from left to right. \n\nSince L1 lies to the right of A (or coincides with A), the angle between P-L1 and L1-L2 is greater than (or equal to) pi/2.\n\nTherefore t

What do you think about this soldiers letter?

From: J.D. Englehart, (Former) SPC. 1st Infantry Division\n\nSent: January 14, 2006\n\nPeople often ask me, "If you are so against the war and couldn't stand\nthe army, why did you ever join in the first place?" I have answered\nthe same every time, that perhaps I was naïve, that I wanted a chance\nto see the world and earn college money. Or that I felt trapped in a\ndead-end town and needed a chance to escape, or that I was curious to\nlive life as a soldier and gain military knowledge. These answers are\nnever enough for some people, yet so many young Americans end up in\nthe military the same exact way.\n\nI understand that I joined just prior to September 11, 2001. Indeed, I\nwas naïve then to think that we lived in a somewhat peaceful world.\nSoldiers at that time joined for other reasons. Maybe soldiers who\njoin now are ones who want to fight in a war. After much personal\ndebate, I have learned that my resistance to war and empire was forged\nby the army itself. Since the very beginning of my four year military\nexperience, I was simply a very different soldier.\n\nIn basic training, instead of attending church service with the rest\nof the privates for two hours of relaxation, I was in the barracks\nmopping the floors and cleaning toilets. I would not fake a belief in\ngod for petty rewards.\n\nWhile other soldiers were marching in rank and file to eat chow, I was\noff to the side, being smoked by a drill sergeant--doing pushups and\nflutter-kicks--for refusing to yell out cadence like a dopey high\nschool cheerleader.\n\nAs time went by, it never got any easier. I had a very hard time with\nthe concept of conformity.\n\nWhile other soldiers in the barracks were watching porno's and hitting\nthe beer bong with their frat-buddies, I was sitting on my bunk in a\ndark corner of a room reading Noam Chomsky.\n\nInstead of spending endless hours spit-shining my boots or ironing my\nBDU's, I was playing punk riffs on my guitar or perhaps writing poetry.\n\nI would routinely skip out on company "mandatory fun days" and go back\nto my room and sleep. Beetle Bailey was my hero.\n\nInstead of spending every weekend going to the same mundane hip-hop\nclubs and discos, starting fights and trying to get laid, I was\nbackpacking across Europe with other like-minded friends. We traveled\nway beyond the limits that a mileage pass would allow. We were openly\nlearning about other cultures, exploring a great unknown, and living\nlife to the fullest while we had it.\n\nInstead of hating Iraqis for their strange ways and resentful\nbehavior, I was trying to imagine the world in which they lived, even\nbefore an unwelcome US occupation forced them to live in a war zone.\n\nWhile other soldiers were bragging about how many hajis they had waxed\nin the last engagement, I was carefully pondering what the longtime\nramifications would be for such inane bloodshed.\n\nInstead of coming back from missions and going straight to the\nPlayStation, I was writing what I saw and how I felt on this blog.\n\nIt is true that I was a very different breed in the army. However,\nthere were others like me. We were far and few between, we were\nmisfits in an olive-drab green hell. We solidified, became friends,\nand became brothers. Most of the soldiers in my platoon were this way,\noutcasts. We opposed the war, sometimes openly. We were never\npersecuted for our beliefs because, although we were angry, we were a\nwhole. We were a group of covert-subverts and our chain of command\nhated it.\n\nI came home from Iraq and was awarded combat spurs, a glorious\nachievement for a cavalry scout. I contemplated the true meaning of\nthese spurs, this icon of war. Spurs that were worn by soldiers on\nhorses; who rode with General Custer and decimated the American Indian\npopulation. Spurs painted with the blood of five major wars of the\n20th century, some wars to fight empire and others to promote it. What\nwould I do with these spurs

As a former soldier i can agree with parts of the letter. I dont think that it is fair, or safe to assume that most young people who join the military are naive,I joined after Sept. 11, so i knew what was to come. i wasnt in a dead-end town, i didnt need the college money. i joined because after Sept. 11 happend i felt that it was what i was supposed to do, my dad, my grandfather serviced this country, so it was a questioin of "if they did it then why shouldnt i". i admit that it was hard to conform to what they wanted, to change my way of thinking and adpot theirs(i dont think i ever did). i wanted to speak out, and say i didnt agree with this, or i didnt agree with that. In the begining i was afraid, i didnt want my follow soldiers to think that i was different from them. so i didnt speak my mind, i was always the quite one, but as time went on and my military career grew i realized that i was going about it all wrong. the reason the military is what it is today is because we have soldiers who speak their minds, who arent afraid to say things, who are not afraid of change. the military needs this, if we just had robots then no one could lead when they needed them to, no one could step up and take charge in a deadly situation. i dont agree with the war, i never have and never will, but to me, its not a question of if you agree with the war or not as a soldier. its who will protect my family,the freedoms that i take advantage of as an American,its will you support, will you protect your follow soldier who has gone through basic training, who has been through all the bull**** that you have, that soldier who stands by you, even the "disgruntaled soldiers", its about the bond that you and your follow soldiers have and no one else can understand. no civilan can understand what a soldier goes thourgh, what they have been though, thats a secert shared by only the soldiers and no one can take that away from them.i may not agree with everyting the letter says, but as i follow soldier i understand it and i can respect it. i say bravo to J.D. Englehart for writing this letter, for saying what is on is mind and so many other soldiers. to me this is what American needs, to hear different truths and realize even as a soldier you do have an opinion.

How can I lose those nasty 5 pounds?

Here is a copy of what I found on MSN.health web site, hope it helps you.\nGood luck.\n\nThe Last 5 Pounds Diet\n\nLosing the last five stubborn pounds requires three Ps: a plan, persistence and portion control. We give you the plan, and it's up to you to stick with it until you've reached your goal. Eyeballing portion sizes isn't enough -- you've got to measure foods to avoid overeating. Losing the last five pounds is more difficult than losing the first five pounds! As you get closer to your goal you'll need to fine-tune your eating plan to nudge your body toward giving up the last bit of unwanted weight. At this point, every calorie counts!\n\nBreakfast Suggestions\nOption One\n½ grapefruit\n1 slice whole-grain toast, spread with one tablespoon peanut butter\n1 cup skim milk\nOption Two\nEgg white omelet made in a non-stick skillet with 1 ounce of cheese and 1 cup of mixed veggies\n1 slice plain whole-grain toast\n1 cup skim milk\nOption Three\n1 cup cooked plain oatmeal, made with skim milk\n½ cup berries on the oatmeal\n1 cup skim milk\n\n\nLunch Suggestions\nOption One\n2 cups tossed salad with fat-free dressing\nSandwich made from 2 slices whole-grain bread, 2 ounces turkey, tomatoes and raw veggies of your choice\n1 fresh apple\nOption Two\nVeggie Lentil Soup\n1 cup raw green pepper, red pepper and cucumbers\n½ cup grapes\nOption Three\nTuna salad plate: Mix ½ cup water-packed tuna with 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise and ½ cup diced raw vegetables (celery, green pepper, carrot, etc.). Serve with one sliced tomato and 1 cup dark green lettuce\n2 tangerine oranges \n\n\nDinner Suggestions\nOption One\nGrilled Ginger Teriyaki Tuna\n½ cup brown rice mixed with ½ cup broccoli\n2 cups tossed salad with fat-free dressing\n1 cup skim milk \nOption Two\nItalian Marinated Chicken\nLynn Fischer's Bean Salad\n½ cup raw carrots\n1 fresh pear\n1 cup skim milk \nOption Three\nOne veggie burger served on a whole-grain bun with lettuce, tomato and onion ½ cup cooked spinach\nOne fresh peach\n1 cup skim milk \n\n\nSnack Ideas\nRemember to eat a snack or meal every three to four hours during the day. Stop eating at least three hours before you go to bed. \n1 whole grapefruit\n1 cup plain yogurt mixed with ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and 2 tablespoons low-fat granola\n6 low-fat triscuits\n½ cup chickpeas mixed with fat-free Italian dressing, chopped celery and tomatoes\n2 tangelos\n1 cup grapes (freeze them first for an icy-delicious treat)\n1 cup pretzels\n3 cups air-popped popcorn sprinkled with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese\n6 mini rice cakes\n6 baby carrots with ¼ cup fat-free ranch dressing to "dip"\n1 apple with 1 tablespoon peanut butter\n\n\nTop Ten Need-to-Cheat Treats\nSometimes, you just have to have that treat. There are ways to satisfy your sweet tooth -- without blowing your diet: \n12 animal crackers\n2 small chocolate chip cookies\n2 Oreo cookies\n½ cup fat-free, sugar-free pudding\n1 peanut butter cup candy\n25 chocolate-covered raisins\n1 lollipop\n3 caramel candy squares\n½ cup fat-free ice cream\n1 fat-free fudgesicle ice cream bar \n\n\nTop Drop-Five Tips\n• Limit alcohol. Alcoholic beverages add calories but not nutrients. Keep your consumption to one drink per week. \n• Drink more water. Carry a water bottle with you at all times. Drink at least five, 8-ounce glasses of water throughout the day and drink 8 to 16 ounces of water with every meal. \n• Eat slowly and steadily. Eat a meal or snack every three to four hours to avoid being hungry. Eat meals and snacks slowly, savoring every delicious bite. \n• Stop eating two hours before you go to bed. \n• Curb your sweet tooth. By avoiding sweetened beverages such as soda and fruit drinks, you curb your cravings for all sweets. Choose water instead of diet soda\n• Keep up with your exercise routine. You might consider longer or more intense workouts to increase the calorie burn. \n• Measure your porti

i want to read some examples of latin poetry.?

can i get the meaning of the meaning of these quotes and who is speaking to who?

ACT ONE \n1.Tell me, briefly, can you accept Paris as a lover? \n2.I will look at him with the intention of liking him, if looking can make me like him, but I won’t look any further than you wish me to look. \n3.Is love a tender thing? It’s too rough, too rude, too rowdy, and it pricks like a thorn. \n4.If love is rough with you, be rough with love. If love pricks you, prick it back, and you’ll beat love down. \n5.Oh, I see that the fairy, Queen Mab, has been with you. She delivers babies for the fairies, and she is no bigger than an agate for a ring on the forefinger of a magistrate. \n6.Uncle, that man is a Montague, our enemy. He’s a villain who has come in hatred to mock our banquet tonight. \n7.O, then, dear saint, let lips touch as hands do. Lips pray, you know, so faith won’t turn to despair. \n8.You kiss as though you researched the subject. \n9.My only love springs from my only hate! \nACT TWO \n10.But wait! What light is coming from that window? It is the eastern light and Juliet is the sun. Rise up, beautiful sun, and make the jealous moon invisible. \n11.Reject your father and refuse his name. Or if you will not, just swear to be my love, and I will no longer be a Capulet. \n12.If I have to use a name, I don’t’ know how to tell you who I am. My name, dear saint, is hateful to me because it’s the name of your enemy. \n13.O, don’t swear by the moon, the fickle moon that changes monthly in her circular orbit, for feat that your love should prove equally changeable. \n14.Will you leave me so unsatisfied? \n15.Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I could say goodnight through tomorrow. \n16. Violent passions have violent ends \nACT THREE \n17. I protest, I’ve never harmed you. I love you more than you can understand until you know the reason for my love. \n18. I’m wounded! A curse on both your houses! I’m mortally wounded. \n19. O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio is dead! His noble soul has climbed to the clouds. He was too young to leave the earth. \n20. Alas, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead! We’re ruined, lady, we’re ruined! \n21. Tybalt is dead and Romeo is banished. Romeo killed Tybalt and he is banished. \n22. My lord, I wish Thursday were tomorrow. \n23. Are you gone? My love, my lord, my husband, and my friend? I must hear from you every hour of the day, for just one minute will be like many days. \n24. I think I see you, as you are now, but like a dead person in the bottom of a tomb. \n25. I’ll never be satisfied with Romeo until I see him – dead – is my poor heart, so upset am I about my cousin’s death.\n 26. Hang you, you minx! You disobedient wretch! I’ll tell you now: go to the church on Thursday or never look on my face again. \nACT FOUR \n27. How happy I am to see you, my lady and my wife. \n28. What must be shall be. \n29. Love ill give me strength, and strength will help me through. Goodbye, dear father. \n30. Look! I think I see my cousin’s ghost looking for Romeo who stabbed him with a rapier. Stay there, Tybalt! Romeo, I’m coming. I drink to you!\n 31. Alas! Help! Help! My lady is dead! \nACT FIVE \n32. Dead man, lie there, buried by a dead man. \n33. Here’s to my love! O faithful pharmacist! Your drugs are quick. With this kiss, I die.\n 34. O comforting friar, where is my lord? I remember quite well where I am supposed to be, and here I am. But where is my Romeo?\n35. Noise! Then I’ll be brief. What luck – a dagger! This is your holder. Rest there and let me die.\n36. There never was a story of more sorrow than this one of Juliet and her Romeo.

what are the top 5 most spoken languages?

From the site -\nThe Summer Institute for Linguistics (SIL) Ethnologue Survey (1999) lists the following as the top languages by population:\n(number of native speakers in parentheses)\n\n 1.

See chart for full details.\n\nThe following list is from Dr. Bernard Comrie’s article for the Encarta Encyclopedia (1998):\n(number of native speakers in parentheses)\n\n 1. Mandarin Chinese (836 million)\n 2. Hindi (333 million)\n 3. Spanish (332 million)\n 4. English (322 million)\n 5. Bengali (189 million)\n 6. Arabic (186 million)\n 7. Russian (170 million)\n 8. Portuguese (170 million)\n 9. Japanese (125 million)\n 10. German (98 million)\n 11. French (72 million)\n\nThe following list is from George Weber’s article “Top Languages: The World’s 10 Most Influential Languages” in Language Today (Vol. 2, Dec 1997):\n(number of native speakers in parentheses)\n\n 1. Mandarin Chinese (1.1 billion)\n 2. English (330 million)\n 3. Spanish (300 million)\n 4. Hindi/Urdu (250 million)\n 5. Arabic (200 million)\n 6. Bengali (185 million)\n 7.

German (9)\n 7. Mandarin (5)\n 8. Portuguese (5)\n 9. Hindi/Urdu (2)\n 10. Bengali (1)\n 11. Japanese (1)\n\nThe number of countries includes core countries (where the language has full legal or official status), outer core countries (where the language has some legal or official status and is an influential minority language, such as English in India or French in Algeria), and fringe countries (where the language has no legal status, but is an influential minority language in trade, tourism, and the preferred foreign language of the young, such as English in Japan or French in Romania). For a complete breakdown of each and an accompanying chart, click here.\n\nAfter weighing six factors (number of primary speakers, number of secondary speakers, number and population of countries where used, number of major fields using the language internationally, economic power of countries using the languages, and socio-literary prestige), Weber compiled the following list of the world's ten most influential languages:\n(number of points given in parentheses)\n\n 1.

Why do Christians always say to just have faith? Is it because they're afraid of the answers they may find?

Whenever I ask a difficult question about my beliefs people always tell me to just have faith. I've lost my faith and it's killing me... i'm losing my friends and family and girlfriend. I'm losing everything I love. If christianity is true, why do people get so nuts when you ask a difficult question?

The Book of Hebrews\nChapter 11\n \n1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.\n \n2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.\n \n3\n Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.\n \n4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.\n \n5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.\n \n6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.\n \n7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.\n \n8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.\n \n9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:\n \n10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.\n \n11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.\n \n12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.\n \n13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.\n \n14\n For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.\n \n15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.\n \n16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.\n \n17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,\n \n18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: \nGen 21:12 Rom 9:7 Gal 3:16 \n \n19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.\n \n20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.\n \n21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.\n \n22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.\n \n23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.\n \n24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;\n \n25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;\n \n26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.\n \n27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.\n \n28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.\n \n29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians

What did Constantine do?

We know why Catholics revere Emperor Constantine - they made him a saint.\n\nBut why do mainline protestant denominations revere Constantine by following him (e.g. Sunday, Christmas, Easter, etc) rather than following the Torah-observant Messiah (e.g. Sabbath, Holy Day Festivals of the Lord, etc)?\n\nWhat good did Constantine ever do? i.e. what did he ever do for the glory of God in a way which is pleasing to God - not the pagan abominations which Constantine is best known for?!

This is quite long, I apologize. According to The Encyclopedia Americana, regional councils instrumental in organizing Catholic churches in Spain, Britain, and elsewhere were “often called and dominated by the secular power.” General councils of religious leaders from the whole Roman empire “were unknown before the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.),” called by Emperor Constantine. British historian H. G. Wells suggested that Constantine brought politics and autocracy into an already deeply divided Christendom. Wells wrote: “Not only was the council of Nicæa assembled by Constantine the Great, but all the great councils, the two at Constantinople (381 and 553), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451) were called together by the imperial power.” But how could God approve of that, since true Christians do not try to mix their religion with politics but, rather, maintain strict neutrality?—John 17:16; James 1:27.\n\n“Later general councils were frequently overshadowed by imperial church politics and the rivalry of the major patriarchal sees [areas controlled by a bishop or an archbishop],” adds The Encyclopedia Americana. Since such church councils were marked by ecclesiastical politics and rivalries, they bore no fruits of God’s spirit such as love and peace. Rather, they were marred by fleshly works that included “hostilities, bickering, jealousy, . . . selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions.” With reference to works of the flesh, the apostle Paul warned: “Those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!” (Galatians 5:19-23, the Catholic New American Bible) Therefore, how can it be said that Christendom’s church councils have been approved by God?\n\nThe history of the Church under [Constantine’s] influence becomes now therefore a history of the violent struggles that were bound to follow upon his sudden and rough summons to unanimity. From him the Church acquired the disposition to be authoritative and unquestioned, to develop a centralized organization and run parallel to the empire.”\n\nThe determination to stamp out opposition led to dreadful atrocities. Most of those pronounced guilty of heresy against the popular dogma of the council were burned at the stake, suffering the agony of a slow death as a public spectacle—supposedly in the name of Christ!\n\nFor instance, the Council of Constance (1414-18) was called to end bickering over who was the legitimate pope and to deal with the heresies of Wycliffe and Hus. Thirty thousand horses are said to have carried people to Constance for this great event. During the council, John Hus was tried and condemned, then turned over to secular authorities and burned at the stake.\n\nWhat About Doctrine?\n\n. To illustrate: In 325 C.E. the Council of Nicaea introduced the doctrine of the Incarnate Christ, or God-man. This denial that Jesus was in fact a man became one of the most misleading doctrines of Christendom. (Compare 2 John 7.) Why, it has turned millions away from Jehovah God to a confusing Trinity! None of the councils held thereafter made any attempt to rectify this error. Yet the Trinity doctrine is clearly unscriptural, for Jesus said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Could God possibly approve of any council that obscured the truth about his identity and that of his Son?\n\nAs also noted in the chart, among the doctrines endorsed at Christendom’s church councils were baptism of infants, imposed and required celibacy, purgatory, and hellfire. However, the Scriptures do not support infant baptism, such celibacy, and a fiery hell, nor do they make any reference to purgatory. (Matthew 28:19, 20; 1 Timothy 4:1-3; Job 14:13) Since those desiring Jehovah’s favor must worship him “with spirit and truth,” how could he approve of councils fostering false doctrine?—John 4:23, 24.\n\nThe encyclopedia Hidria says: “Constantine was especially interested in Christianity because it backed up not only his vic

What about evolution?

Do u think that teaching evolution in schools is constituional? isn't the same as teaching intellegent design?

Wow. There is a staggering amount of ignorance exhibited in this thread.\n\nEvolution can be taught as science because it actually *is* science. Intelligent Design/Creationism is merely a faith based leap to "God did it!" Science is about observing, modelling, and predicting the universe around us. Creationism is closing your eyes to the world and explaining everything by magic.\n\nHere's part of an answer I posted in another thread that addresses many of the same questions raised and misinformation spewed by some of the responses\nabove:\n\n---------\nThe trouble with most Creationists- scratch that. ONE of the troubles with most Creationists is that they seldom actually argue against evolution as it really is, but against straw-man charicatures of evolution. Rather than actually educating themselves about the subject they ask inane questions like "If man evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" and then pat themselves on the back thinking they've scored points rather than revealing their ignorance about the subject. And then the choir they are preaching to nod their heads and agree.\n\nHere's a few simple things to remember:\n\n1. Evolution is NOT the study of how life began.\nhttp://www.origins.tv/darwin/abiogenesis.htm#Origins\n\n2. Evolution does NOT say man came from monkeys.\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/\n\n3. There will be no "intermediary forms" if by that you expect to see a half-this/half-that critter, nor does evolution say there should be.\nhttp://www.origins.tv/darwin/transitionals.htm\n\n4. Evolution is not incompatible with religious faith. Plenty of scientists believe in both God and evolution. It is only incompatible with the literalist view of Genesis espoused by young earth creationists. Of course, these folks' views run counter to geology, physics, paleontology, archeology, and astronomy as well.\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/interpretations.html\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-god.html\n\n\n5. While there is vigorous debate about some of the mechanisms and features of evolution, there is no doubt in the scientific community that evolution is real. OF COURSE you will find some cranks out there on the fringe who will fight against evolution (most making a tidy living giving talks to fundamentalist religious groups), just like there are historians who insist the Holocaust didn't occur.

I will admit, I am a 29 year old, 5 foot tall woman, who is 207 pounds. I am pretty out of shape. Well I am getting married in May! I would love to lose weight and get in shape, I want to look great for my wedding. Where do I start to get in shape? I don't have a lot of money, but I want to try as much as I can to lose as much as I can till my wedding day.\n\nIs there any right way of what I should do? I get so confused with all these books, diet pills, etc. Any advice out there?

WHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

Concise, easily-understandable explanation of evolutionary theory?

Lately, I've talked to and read posts by quite a few people who don't "believe" in evolution, and often back up their disbelief by what tends to be some sort of error in understanding the theory.\n\nI'd love to be able to argue with them, or at least have a proper discussion, but the problem is that I took biology four years ago, and as I was in 7th grade at the time, I didn't really get a very comprehensive unit on evolution anyhow.\n\nCan anyone recommend good, factual, websites or books that I could use to brush up my knowledge? I'm not a scientist, so I'd prefer to stay away from anything overly technical, but I have fairly good \ncomphrension.\n\nThanks!\n\n(Anyone who answers this to argue over whether evolutionary theory is valid or not will have their response laughed at and then thrown over in a pile with my Chick Tracts.)

I think more than any other thing--more than all other things combined, perhaps--there is a single, most important fundamental that must be understood: The Law of Mass Action. The barrier to understanding evolution stems from the word "random." We hear "random," and the instinct is to say, "Bull pucky." But randomness, applied to the law of mass action, becomes every driving force in the universe, and the origin of all order.\n\nThis is a ubiquitous law in nature. The hardest part of understanding something like evolution is trying to wrap your mind around the NUMBERS. Those huge, infinitely-large number that are used to discuss propability are truly mind-boggling. Once you realize that there are other examples of driving forces overcoming immense odds, your whole perspective on the probability of evolution changes.\n\nTake biochemistry. This is some stuff that's completely undisputed. A protein starts as a chain--or several chains--of amino acids, all strung together. Miraculously, this protein folds into the specific conformation necessary to perform its function by the simple process of RANDONLY banging around. That's it! It just bangs this way and that, folds left and right, over and under, driven by nothing more than the RANDOM bumping and shifting caused by thermal energy bumping tiny articles against eachother.\n\nBUT!!! Once it gets to a thermodynamically-stable conformation, it basically stays put. It takes a million random bumps left and right, up and down, for each of the two joints connecting every individual amino acid on the thread, but once it goes the right way, it's mission is accomplished. And all of this happens in the blink of an eye! We have no concept of how incredibly quickly these minor bumps and bangs occur until the target reaches its mark.\n\nOr take diffusion. This is an extrodinarily powerful driving force, and the law that governs it is so simple that it sounds absurd! Here it goes: It is more probable that something will go from where it is to where it isn't, than it is for something to go from where it isn't to where it is. Done! That's it. I've just told you in a tiny nutshell what chemical engineers spend two years studying with differntial equations, labs, and computer models. That's thermostatistics summed up. And yet because I understood that very basic fact, I was able to understand the complex functions of the nerve cell far better than 99% of my molecular biology classmates.\n\nBear with me a bit longer: when a neuron fires, ions rush in and out of the cell in ways that depolarize and repolarize the electrical charge of the membrane. It's really complicated-sounding stuff. But what it really boils down to is that potassium ions (K) are concentrated in one place (mostly inside the cell), and sodium ions (Na) are concentrated somewhere else (mostly outside the cell). All of these ions are banging around, this way and that. Some go left, and some go right, but the membrane staps them from going through. The special channels open up. Na ions, being mostly outside the cell, will be far more likely to go inside the cell--where they aren't--than they are to come out of the cell--where they already are.

Why do fundamentalists answer every question they don't like with a biblical quote?

I swear it's like seeing someone use an insta-quote machine. I once saw someone online fill up a whole page with nothing but bible quotes, like it was some sort of spell or mantra. Or the other one, you ask a question, and the answer is always, like, "Oh, I don't know, but I love Jesus," or "the Lord takes care of it." Like, okay, answer the question already, or don't bother. I'm a Christian too, but I don't use bible quotes as a substitute for using my own brain. We have machines who can quote text too: they are called computers.

Will unfounded domestic violence charge hold up in court in Va?

My husband and I were arguing in our apartment and the neighbors called the police. We were alreay in the process of "making up". The police came and interviewed him and visualy saw marks on me from the "making up". The police arrested him for domestic violence and said that the state of Virginia would charge him for it not the city. They never took a statement from me nor pictures. From the time my husband got arrested to his release back to me took 45 min. He litterly walked in the back door did some paperwork and walked out the front.\nWhat are the odds that he will be found guilty with only the testamony of the officer and me testifying and telling my story in defense of my husband in the state of Va.

You know, I suspect you're not going to get many takers on this one. You've got a lot of issues here that are very involved and nobody who knows what they are talking about is going to be able to give you an answer based on the "facts" you've presented here.\n\nRather than try to answer your question, let me ask you some more:\n\nWhat do you define as arguing? Was it strictly verbal or was there any physical touching whatsoever? \n\nWere any threats of any kind made during the argument?\n\nYou said the police saw marks on you from "making up"...which, frankly, is very suspicious to an old cop like me. But the question is, what kind of marks? Are you talking about a hickey or a bruise?\n\nWhen the police interviewed your husband, what did he say? Did he perhaps admit to doing something that would have violated the law in your state? And please - if you did not personally hear the interview between your husband and the police, you do not *know* what was said...you might know what your husband told you later, but if you didn't hear it for yourself, you don't know.\n\nDon't know if you're asking a question about the city or the state prosecuting, but if you are: not unusual for the state to prosecute a domestic violence charge, even if the victim denies it or changes their story later.\n\nIf you told the police the marks on you were from "making up", then they did take a statement from you. Once you said that, the police may have felt that was all the statement they were going to get out of you - especially if the marks they saw were not consistent with what you said was "making up" (for example: most people don't make up by leaving bruises, swollen lips, scratches, black eyes, etc...if those are the marks you're talking about, I'm with the cops on this one).\n\nIf you had marks, the police certainly should have taken photos of them. Some types of minor injuries don't show well in photos (especially depending on the equipment) so they may not have thought photos were worthwhile or they just simply didn't take them. What were your "marks"?\n\nYou're asking what the odds are that he'll be found guilty based on what you say is the officer's testimony and your statement in defense of your husband. Can't answer that one because neither you nor I have all the facts, I suspect.\n\nWhat did the neighbors say (or more importantly, do the neighbors have something to say; did they hear threats, did they hear physical violence, did they hear you say something that would suggest you were being victimized)?\n\nWhat did he say? Maybe without meaning to, he admitted to a crime. He wouldn't be the first person to do so...and if the cops were skillful interviewers, they may have obtained an admission or confession from him without him realizing he was doing so.\n\nWhat is the crime of domestic violence in Virginia? You were smart to include that you're in that state because it certainly makes a difference (and unfortunately, I'm not from there).\n\nDo the police know you and your husband? Either of you been arrested for domestic violence before? \n\nBottom line: way too many "what-if's" for anyone to give you an educated answer to your question. Depending on the answers to the questions I've asked, the chances of him being found guilty could be very good, or very poor.\n\nAnd finally: I've investigated domestic violence crimes for over 18 years as a police officer. I hope everything you wrote here is absolutely true...that you were not the victim of domestic violence, and that you are as safe today as the day you were born. I hope nobody ever lays a hand on you, threatens you, or abuses you. However, what you've written here (and what I suspect your answers to some of my questions might be) is some of the most commonly-expressed statements I've heard from domestic violence vi

Funny things to do in a computer lab?

What are some funny things to do in a computer lab? I'm in one now...

1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and scream "Oh my God! They've found me!" and bolt. \n\n\n2. Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you. \n\n\n3. When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty that you can't get the damn thing to work. After he/she's turned it on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again, & repeat the process for a good half hour. \n\n\n4. Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly. \n\n\n5. Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to different screen than the one it's set up with.\n\n\n6. Write a program that plays the "Smurfs" theme song and play it at the highest volume possible over & over again. \n\n\n7. Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk. \n\n\n8. Ask the person next to you if they know how to tap into top-secret Pentagon files. \n\n\n9. Use Interactive Send to make passes at people you don't know. \n\n\n10. Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it on. \n\n\n11. Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If anyone asks why you have it, say "Just in case..." mysteriously. \n\n\n12. Type on VAX for a while. Suddenly start cursing for 3 minutes at everything bad about your life. Then stop and continue typing. \n\n\n13. Enter the lab, undress, and start staring at other people as if they're crazy while typing. \n\n\n14. Light candles in a pentagram around your terminal before starting. \n\n\n15. Ask around for a spare disk. Offer $2. Keep asking until someone agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say, "Oops, I forgot." \n\n\n16. Every time you press Return and there is processing time required, pray "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it finishes. \n\n\n17. "DISK FIGHT!!!" \n\n\n18. Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you (It helps if you know them, but this is also a great way to make new friends). \n\n\n19. Put a straw in your mouth and put your hands in your pockets. Type by hitting the keys with the straw. \n\n\n20. If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" whenever there is processing time required. \n\n\n21. Draw a picture of a woman (or man) on a piece of paper, tape it to your monitor. Try to seduce it. Act like it hates you and then complain loudly that women (men) are worthless. \n\n\n22. Try to stick a Ninetendo cartridge into the 3 1/2 disc drive, when it doesn't work, get the supervisor. \n\n\n23. When you are on an IBM, and when you turn it on, ask loudly where the smiling Apple face is when you turn on one of those. \n\n\n24. Print out the complete works of Shakespeare, then when its all done (two days later) say that all you wanted was one line. \n\n\n25. Sit and stare at the screen, biting your nails noisily. After doing this for a while, spit them out at the feet of the person next to you. \n\n\n26. Stare at the screen, grind your teeth, stop, look at the person next to you. Grinds some more. Repeat procedure, making sure you never provoke the person enough to let them blow up, as this releases tension, and it is far more effective to let them linger. \n\n\n27. If you have long hair, take a typing break, look for split ends, cut them and deposit them on your neighbor's keyboard as you leave. \n\n\n28. Put a large, gold-framed portrait of the British Royal Family on your desk and loudly proclaim that it inspires you. \n\n\n29. Come to the lab wearing several layers of socks. Remove shoes and place them of top of the monitor. Remove socks layer by layer and drape them around the monitor. Exclaim sudden haiku about the aesthetic beauty of cotton on plastic. \n\n\n30. Take the keyboard and sit under the computer. Type up your paper

Light candles in a pentagram around your terminal before starting. \n\n\n15. Ask around for a spare disk. Offer $2. Keep asking until someone agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say, "Oops, I forgot." \n\n\n16. Every time you press Return and there is processing time required, pray "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it finishes. \n\n\n17. "DISK FIGHT!!!" \n\n\n18. Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you (It helps if you know them, but this is also a great way to make new friends). \n\n\n19. Put a straw in your mouth and put your hands in your pockets. Type by hitting the keys with the straw. \n\n\n20. If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" whenever there is processing time required. \n\n\n21. Draw a picture of a woman (or man) on a piece of paper, tape it to your monitor. Try to seduce it. Act like it hates you and then complain loudly that women (men) are worthless. \n\n\n22.

Repeat procedure, making sure you never provoke the person enough to let them blow up, as this releases tension, and it is far more effective to let them linger. \n\n\n27. If you have long hair, take a typing break, look for split ends, cut them and deposit them on your neighbor's keyboard as you leave. \n\n\n28. Put a large, gold-framed portrait of the British Royal Family on your desk and loudly proclaim that it inspires you. \n\n\n29. Come to the lab wearing several layers of socks.

Fall into condemnation - James 5:12 \n6. Be moved away from the hope - Col. 1:21-23 \n7. Deny the Lord who bought them - 2 Pet. 2:1 \n8. Depart from the living God - Heb. 3:12 \n9. Can be a castaway - 1 Cor. 9:27 \n10. Can become accursed children - 2 Pet. 2:14 \n\nWhat the scriptures say. \n\n1 Parable of sower \n\nMark 4:16 (Luke 8:13) "And in a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; (they believe for a while) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away. \n\n2 Fallen from grace passage: \n\nGalatians 5:4 "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." \n\n\n3 Pruning passages: \n\nJohn 15:5-6 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." \n\nRomans 11:19-23 "You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again." \n\n4 Hebrews Passages: \n\nHebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame. \n\nHebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries." \n\nHebrews 10:38-39 "But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." \n\n5 Doctrinal Apostasy passages: \n\nActs 20:17,28-30 "And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church." ... "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them." \n\n1 Timothy 1:18-21 "fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Among these are HYMENAEUS and Alexander" \n\n2 Timothy 2:16-18 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are HYMENAEUS and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some. \n\n1 Timothy 4:1 &quo

Where is HELP for my disabled father(74) brain damaged brother(51)? Victims of FIRE, NO Elect. power, water...

Home damaged, VICTIMS of 2002 Rodeo/Chediski fire. Have NO adequate electric power or running water for over 3 yrs. FEMA lied to them for 2 yrs. telling them they would help them and get others to help them also. Home received $58,000 in damages. Were given $2,726 total. SBA, HUD, Red Cross, many others walked away from them without giving them any assistance whatsoever. Told them they were TOO POOR to obtain any Grants or Loans to repair their home. (income $600 /mo.) Roof leaks, damaged ceilings, walls (mold) and floors. Wheelchair ramps needed, decks and steps removed need replaced, now very unsafe, falls frequent. Lost their Solar/Wind electric power system and generators. NO running water.They need gas and propane.. NO working heat or A/C system, house low 40's to high 30's in winter. Summer 105 to 108 degrees inside, conditions difficult for healthy people. Disabled they're in pain because of their situation. Anyone know if legal Pro Bono help is available for them or worth it??

To be able to help you, I wouldneed you to add to your question (so I could find it again). You would ned to list the City and State in which they reside. THat would be a great start. One question I would like answered, is this on the Indian Reservation? \n\nDid he or they apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA)? Maybe not, if they were disable prior. \n\nAnyway, be more specific. Indian reservation or not? It matters if you want good answers.\n\nIndians there suffer, however Indians here in the Great Northwest get checks every month becasue of their fortune. Below is a story of just how bad these Indians have it.\n Jun 30, 2002\n\n Wildfire Leaves Apaches With Misery--and Pain\n\n By TOM GORMAN and STEVE BERRY , LA Times Staff Writers\n\n WHITERIVER, Ariz. -- Even in good times, this Apache Indian reservation community struggles from paycheck to paycheck. The 60- year-old homes need paint and screens, fences miss slats, hulks of old cars sit abandoned in backyards.\n\n For hundreds of Apaches, Wednesday's paychecks will be the last for months because their forest has burned. Fire robbed the town of its main livelihood: ponderosa pines to be milled at the tribe's Fort Apache Timber Co.\n\n "We will go broke by the end of the month," said Cindy Bennett as her husband picked up his last paycheck Wednesday at the mill.\n\n About 70% of the 330 employees at the tribal company's two mills were laid off Monday as the Rodeo-Chediski fire, the nation's largest, raged through the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. The remaining employees will be out of work in two weeks.\n\n The fire's devastation is being felt throughout Navajo County at least 339 homes destroyed, 410,000 acres of forest charred.\n\n But perhaps nowhere is the economic fallout of the fire felt more immediately than by the White Mountain Apache Tribe.\n\n In coming days, hundreds of Apaches will run out of money to buy food and medicine. The tribe already has lost millions of dollars in revenue that goes toward a variety of social services and the cost of running its government. There are no trees to cut for the mills, no elk to attract hunters, no tourists to gamble in its casino or fill its motels and restaurants all revenue that feeds the tribe's general coffers.\n\n The pain is felt in other ways too: Apaches are frequently targeted with icy stares when they shop off the reservation, blamed for the fire because it started on their reservation. There is resentment, too, that the Apaches' suffering is going unnoticed, with so much attention being paid to the plight of the other mountain residents.\n\n "It was all Show Low this and Show Low that," said Sandra DeClay, referring to the city north of here that was besieged by the blaze.\n\n "We are suffering," said Dallas Massey Sr., chairman of the tribe, which has 12,000 adult members. "Even before this, we had so many unmet needs, in infrastructure, in housing."\n\n Indeed, this tribe was already in a world of hurt. Before this week's layoffs, unemployment stood at a staggering 60%. Household income for a full half of the families is below poverty level.\n\n The reservation's beauty belies the economic hardships of those living here; most of its 1.6 million acres are carpeted in ponderosa pines; streams and lakes attract anglers, elk attract the hunters.\n\n But in Whiteriver, where tribal government is headquartered in two, one-story brick buildings, there are only a handful of businesses a band, a gas station, a restaurant and small motel among others.\n\n For the last seven years, Nelson Bennett Jr., 37, made a living sorting and stacking freshly cut lumber. He earned about $800 a month; most of it went for groceries and the $235 car payment for his '93 Chevrolet, chronically in need of repair.\n\n And then there's the utilities, and medicine, and the occ

The tribe already has lost millions of dollars in revenue that goes toward a variety of social services and the cost of running its government. There are no trees to cut for the mills, no elk to attract hunters, no tourists to gamble in its casino or fill its motels and restaurants all revenue that feeds the tribe's general coffers.\n\n The pain is felt in other ways too: Apaches are frequently targeted with icy stares when they shop off the reservation, blamed for the fire because it started on their reservation. There is resentment, too, that the Apaches' suffering is going unnoticed, with so much attention being paid to the plight of the other mountain residents.\n\n "It was all Show Low this and Show Low that," said Sandra DeClay, referring to the city north of here that was besieged by the blaze.\n\n "We are suffering," said Dallas Massey Sr., chairman of the tribe, which has 12,000 adult members. "Even before this, we had so many unmet needs, in infrastructure, in housing."\n\n Indeed, this tribe was already in a world of hurt. Before this week's layoffs, unemployment stood at a staggering 60%. Household income for a full half of the families is below poverty level.\n\n The reservation's beauty belies the economic hardships of those living here; most of its 1.6 million acres are carpeted in ponderosa pines; streams and lakes attract anglers, elk attract the hunters.\n\n But in Whiteriver, where tribal government is headquartered in two, one-story brick buildings, there are only a handful of businesses a band, a gas station, a restaurant and small motel among others.\n\n For the last seven years, Nelson Bennett Jr., 37, made a living sorting and stacking freshly cut lumber. He earned about $800 a month; most of it went for groceries and the $235 car payment for his '93 Chevrolet, chronically in need of repair.\n\n And then there's the utilities, and medicine, and the occ

What is the best duck hunting gun??

Humm.. I have just start duck hunting and am using an older Remington 1100. I want to buy a new gun for under $400. I would love for it to be semi-auto shotgun if possible. I have heard Charles Daly's are pretty good and so is the price.

http://www.boytharness.com/duckguns.htm\n\n\n\nLocation\n Location is the single most important aspect of hunting waterfowl. \n In order to kill any number of ducks consistently you need a good spot. Even the best duck hunter will not kill many ducks in a bad spot. \n To find a good spot you can either scout on your own or ask around but usually a combination of the two works best. So go find a good place to hunt and kill some ducks. \n\nEquipment\nOnce you've found a good place to set up you're only about 3/4 of the way out of the woods. You still need to have the right stuff to get the fowl in nice and tight. Plus having all the trinkets and equipment of waterfowling is a good portion of the fun, and a great conversation piece in the blind.\n\nThere are several areas of equipment that are necessary to every waterfowl hunter: Guns, Shells, Decoys, Calls, some way to move around in the water, and some form of concealment.\n\nGuns:\n\n There is a lot of variety when it comes to duck guns. Basically it comes down to personal preference. \n If you’re in the market for a new gun look around and ask people about their favorite duck gun. Then figure out what you want in terms of action, choke, etc. \n Go to a store or gun show and try out the various makes and models of guns to see what fits you best and which is the most comfortable. \n There is one thing you don't need to worry about trying to decide on and that is what gauge of shotgun to buy, that's a given, a twelve gauge is the only affective gun to hunts ducks with using steel shot. A ten gauge will do the job too but they are too bulky. \n\nShells:\n\n In order to hunt ducks and geese legally you need to use non-toxic shot. There are three types of non-toxic shot available today steel, Bismuth, and Tungsten. \n Steel has been around the longest but it is the worst performing. \n There are a few tricks needed to kill waterfowl with steel shot. The two main things you need to know are to use big shot and buy fast shells. \n Bismuth and Tungsten work very well (along the same lines as lead) but they are awfully expensive. One advantage of Bismuth is that you can shoot it through old guns that are not made to handle steel or tungsten. \n\nDecoys:\n\n There is an infinite variety of decoys available. They are made out of variety of materials: Cedar, Cork, Foam, and Plastic. \n Cedar and Cork look beautiful and ride the water just like a real duck, however these are all handcrafted and fetch exuberant prices that the average hunter can not afford. \n Foam and plastic will also draw ducks. Foam is better because it is solid and can absorb being shot, rides the water better, and are more easily repainted. Foam decoys are still fairly expensive. \n Plastic decoys are cheap and still very realistic looking. Try mallard decoys that are all magnum size - these are slightly larger than life size so they have additional drawing power, but they are still close enough that ducks will swim into them on a regular basis. \n\nCalls:\n\n The sound of a good call is one of my favorite parts of duck hunting. \n Every call sounds different depending on who blows it. So to find the right call for you, you probably need to try out a few, plus some days ducks will respond better too than others, so it is good to have a spare. \n \n \n \n\nReturn to top of page\n\n \n\nWaterfowl Hunting Tips:\n \n Use the sun, wind, and other natural features of the landscape to your benefit when setting up. Set up in short timber and shallow water whenever possible. Short timber because the ducks will come in lower and shallow water because that's where they want to feed. \n Take time to not only practice your calling but to learn how ducks actually use different sounds. Then go back and practice. \n Use effective camouflage that matches the terrain you hunt. We have many hunts where the ducks simply don't want to work to the decoys around the blind, so we get out of the blind and are able to

What if you are wrong?

Like the song says, What if you are wrong and Christ is the son of God who has died for you and is the only way to the Father. Are you be willing to take that risk without at least searching for the truth? Is your eternity worth looking into?

But I am not wrong, unless you think the Bible is wrong!\nAnd if the Bible is not wrong, then you should examine your beliefs, and you will come to the conclusion you should convert to Judaism.\n\nThe place i look to see what i should believe, and to check against to see if other beliefs are wrong is the Bible, the Hebrew Scriptures, and when i check i check in the original Hebrew.\n\nHere is what it says, in contrast to Christianity:::\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b'chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his noble

What if you are wrong?Like the song says, What if you are wrong and Christ is the son of God who has died for you and is the only way to the Father. Are you be willing to take that risk without at least searching for the truth? Is your eternity worth looking into?But I am not wrong, unless you think the Bible is wrong!\nAnd if the Bible is not wrong, then you should examine your beliefs, and you will come to the conclusion you should convert to Judaism.\n\nThe place i look to see what i should believe, and to check against to see if other beliefs are wrong is the Bible, the Hebrew Scriptures, and when i check i check in the original Hebrew.\n\nHere is what it says, in contrast to Christianity:::\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people.

What were Aristotle's discoveries?

I'm doing a project on Aristotle and I just wanted to know what some of his discoveries were.

The extant works of Aristotle are broken down according to the five categories in the Corpus Aristotelicum. Not all of these works are considered genuine, but differ with respect to their connection to Aristotle, his associates and his views. Some, such as the Athenaion Politeia or the fragments of other politeia are regarded by most scholars as products of Aristotle's "school" and compiled under his direction or supervision. Other works, such On Colours may have been products of Aristotle's successors at the Lyceum, e.g., Theophrastus and Straton. Still others acquired Aristotle's name through similarities in doctrine or content, such as the De Plantis, possibly by Nicolaus of Damascus. A final category, omitted here, includes medieval palmistries, astrological and magical texts whose connection to Aristotle is purely fanciful and self-promotional.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender: Religious beliefs?

I've noticed how people have asked about WHY people are gay, and I've answered, but my answer is shot down. I fall under the label of "gay" and I've noticed that religion often plays a large part in the beliefs of "straight" people... and sometimes LBGT as well. But with straight people, religion is often the "answer" to the gay question. I respect peoples' beliefs, but mine is the following:\n\nReligion is BS. Religion was a bunch of stories made up to satisfy our curiousity hundreds of years ago, and the newer religions being created are often looked at as rediculous cult-like organizations.. simply because we know better than to believe such outrageousness. The older religions are perpetuated simply due to their seniority. If life were as simple as trusting a book of tales, why are there so many different religions? Religion holds the human race back while SCIENCE brings us forward. Why move backwards? WE KNOW BETTER\n\nComments from LGBT community? Why are you religious? Respect to all

It was interesting hearing what you had to say because I'm currently taking a Biblical Ethics class, and I have decided to do my research paper on the Homosexual issue. I will know better how to answer your question after the research, but for now, I'll just express my opinions.\n\nNot all religions view homosexuality the same way, and not even all Christians view it the same way. It seems clear to me that the Bible clearly condemns male homosexual relations. (Female homosexual relations are not mentioned at all in the Old Testament, but it was written by men, and mostly for male readers, so perhaps it is implied).\n\nThe Bible however did not come down from God in the way that traditionalists think. It was written by different people in different times and places, and the different voices therein conflict. So what we have in the Bible are different views of various people, and it is quite clear that some of those people were homophobic. They called homosexual relations "an abomination before the Lord." These people were just expressing their gut reaction to gays. They were intolerant, they did not understand the phenomenon, and so they basically just said, "Yuck," and didn't think about it anymore. They just assumed it was bad and evil.\n\nOf course, most Christians do not realize that the Bible is the word of men and not God. They were raised to believe that it is the Word of God, usually by honest, good parents who do not otherwise lie. Therefore they believe their parents. Why wouldn't they? Their parents seemed to be right about other things. So they never come to realize that well-meaning people can be totally incorrect and they perpetuate the teaching that the Bible is the Word of God. \n\nNow these people, in their heart of hearts, often have compassion for gay people and have a tendency towards tolerance for them. However, the people are trained to NOT listen to their hearts! They think their hearts are wrong, and go against their own consciences to follow the Bible. They justify this by saying, "God knows better than me." \n\nMy mom is just such a person. I can tell that in her heart, she would like to be tolerant of LBGT people. But she can't let go of her belief in the Bible. So she just can't let herself live according to her own conscience on this matter. It is a very complicated issue. My mom is not stupid or heartless. She has her reasons for believing in the Bible. It is not as simple as saying, "People who believe in the Bible are just idiots."\n\nI am not a Christian, but I am a very religious person. I support LBGT rights. I would like to just point out these 2 things: that not all religious people are anti-gay. And that not everything about religion is BS. True, there is BS in religions, but not everything in a religion is BS. Our job as religious people is to be discerning about that. We must be willing to let go of a religious belief if it is proven false. We must not be attached to our religion. Religion is merely a means to a goal, and too many of us won't let go of the religion to get to the goal! \n\nBut there are certain religious practices that are very good. Daily affirmations of what is good in life, time spent daily working on how to improve compassion within yourself, reading of certain Scriptures which teach wisdom and love, devotion and humility before other humans and God (for those who believe in God) -- these are all beneficial to someone (and the people around him/her).

Then I’ll be brief. What luck – a dagger! This is your holder. Rest there and let me die.\n36. There never was a story of more sorrow than this one of Juliet and her Romeo.

Do your own homework. If you had a question about one quote where I could believe that you read the play but forgot the context of a single line, I would help you. As it is, you need to do your own work. Them's the rules. \n\nFurther, your questions should read: Can I get what these quotes mean and WHO is speaking to WHOM? \n\nClearly, English is not your favorite subject. But suck it up. You deserve no credit for work you ask others to do for you.

I love you more than you can understand until you know the reason for my love. \n18. I’m wounded! A curse on both your houses! I’m mortally wounded. \n19. O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio is dead! His noble soul has climbed to the clouds. He was too young to leave the earth. \n20. Alas, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead! We’re ruined, lady, we’re ruined! \n21. Tybalt is dead and Romeo is banished. Romeo killed Tybalt and he is banished. \n22. My lord, I wish Thursday were tomorrow. \n23. Are you gone? My love, my lord, my husband, and my friend? I must hear from you every hour of the day, for just one minute will be like many days. \n24. I think I see you, as you are now, but like a dead person in the bottom of a tomb. \n25. I’ll never be satisfied with Romeo until I see him – dead – is my poor heart, so upset am I about my cousin’s death.\n 26. Hang you, you minx! You disobedient wretch! I’ll tell you now: go to the church on Thursday or never look on my face again. \nACT FOUR \n27. How happy I am to see you, my lady and my wife. \n28. What must be shall be. \n29. Love ill give me strength, and strength will help me through. Goodbye, dear father. \n30. Look! I think I see my cousin’s ghost looking for Romeo who stabbed him with a rapier. Stay there, Tybalt! Romeo, I’m coming. I drink to you!\n 31. Alas! Help! Help! My lady is dead! \nACT FIVE \n32. Dead man, lie there, buried by a dead man. \n33. Here’s to my love! O faithful pharmacist! Your drugs are quick. With this kiss, I die.\n 34. O comforting friar, where is my lord? I remember quite well where I am supposed to be, and here I am. But where is my Romeo?\n35. Noise! Then I’ll be brief. What luck – a dagger! This is your holder. Rest there and let me die.\n36. There never was a story of more sorrow than this one of Juliet and her Romeo.Do your own homework.

What is the story of Hanukah?

Hanukkah (חנכה ḥănukkāh, or חנוכה ḥănūkkāh) is a Jewish holiday, also known as the Festival of lights. "Hanukkah" is a Hebrew word meaning "dedication". It also has other spellings in English, such as Chanukah, Hannukah, Hanukah, Chanuka, Chanukkah, Hanuka, Channukah, Hanukka, Hanaka, Haneka, Hanika, and Khanukkah. The first evening of Hanukkah starts after the sunset of the 24th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. Since in Jewish tradition the calendar date starts at sunset, Hanukkah begins on the 25th.\n\n\nSources\nThe story of Hanukkah is preserved in the books of 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. These books are not part of the Hebrew Bible, but are part of the deuterocanonical historical and religious material from the Septuagint; this material was not later codified by Jews as part of the Bible, but was so codified by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. Another, probably later, source is the Megillat Antiokhos — a text ascribed to the Maccabees themselves by Saadia Gaon, but more likely written around the first or second century CE.\n\n\nStory\nAround 200 BCE Jews lived as an autonomous people in the land of Israel, which at this time was controlled by the Seleucid King of Syria. The Jewish people paid taxes to Syria and accepted its legal authority, and by and large were free to follow their own faith, maintain their own jobs, and engage in trade.\n\nBy 180 BCE Antiochus IV Epiphanes ascended to the Seleucid throne. At first little changed, but under his reign Jews were gradually forced to violate the precepts of their faith. Jews rebelled at having to do this. Under the reign of Antiochus IV, the Temple in Jerusalem was looted, Jews were massacred, and Judaism was effectively outlawed.\n\nIn 167 BCE Antiochus ordered an altar to Zeus erected in the Temple. Mattathias, a Jewish priest, and his five sons John, Simon, Eleazar, Jonathan, and Judah led a rebellion against Antiochus. Judah became known as Judah Maccabee (Judah The Hammer). By 166 BCE Mattathias had died, and Judah took his place as leader. By 165 BCE the Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy was successful. The Temple was liberated and rededicated.\n\nThe festival of Hanukkah was instituted by Judah Maccabee and his brothers to celebrate this event. (1 Macc. iv. 59 (http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/1MA/1MA4.HTM#59)). After having recovered Jerusalem and the Temple, Judah ordered the Temple to be cleansed, a new altar to be built in place of the polluted one, and new holy vessels to be made. When the fire had been kindled anew upon the altar and the lamps of the candlestick lit, the dedication of the altar was celebrated for eight days amid sacrifices and songs (1 Macc. iv. 36 (http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/1MA/1MA4.HTM#36)).\n\nA number of historians believe that the reason for the eight day celebration was that the first Hanukkah was in effect a belated celebration of the festival of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles (Macc. x. 6 (http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/2MA/2MA10.HTM#6) and i. 9 (http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/2MA/2MA1.HTM#9)). During the war the Jews were not able to celebrate Sukkot properly. Sukkot also lasts for eight days, and was a holiday in which the lighting of lamps played a prominent part during the Second Temple period (Suk.v. 2-4). Lights were also kindled in the household, and the popular name of the festival was, therefore, according to Josephus ([1] (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=J.+AJ+12.287) Jewish Antiquities xii. 7, § 7, #323) the "Festival of Lights" ("And from that time to this we celebrate this festival, and call it Lights"). It has been noted that Jewish festivals are connected to the harvesting of the Biblical seven fruits which Israel was famed for. Pesach is a celebration of the barley harvest, Shavuoth of the wheat, Sukkoth of the figs, dates, pomegranates and g

Four thousand years ago city builders in the Indus Valley made deals, not war, and created a stable, peaceful, and prosperous culture."\n"No golden tombs, no fancy ziggurats. Four thousand years ago city builders in the Indus Valley made deals, not war, and created a stable, peaceful, and prosperous culture."\n\n\nThe railway linking Lahore to Multan in Pakistan is 4,600 years old. In truth, the rails were laid down in the middle of the nineteenth century, but to build the railway bed, British engineers smashed bricks from crumbling buildings and rubble heaps in a town called Harappa, halfway between the two cities. Back in 1856, Alexander Cunningham, director of the newly formed Archeological Survey of British India, thought the brick ruins were all related to nearby seventh-century Buddhist temples. Local legend told a different story: the brick mounds were the remnants of an ancient city, destroyed when its king committed incest with his niece. Neither Cunningham nor the locals were entirely correct. In small, desultary excavations a few years later, Cunningham found no temples or traces of kings, incestuous or otherwise. Instead he reported the recovery of some pottery, carved shell, and a badly damaged seal depicting a one-horned animal, bearing an inscription in an unfamiliar writing.\n\nThat seal was a mark of one of the world's great ancient civilizations, but mid-nineteenth-century archaeologists like Cunningham knew nothing about it. The Vedas, the oldest texts of south Asia, dating from some 3,500 years ago, made no mention of it, nor did the Bible. No pyramids or burial mounds marked the area as the site of an ancient power. Yet, 4,600 years ago, at the same time as the early civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, great cities arose along the flood plains of he ancient Indus and Saraswati rivers in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. The people of the Indus Valley didn't build towering monuments, bury their riches along with their dead, or fight legendary and bloody battles. They didn't have a mighty army or a divine emperor.

Excavations revealed large, orderly walled cities of massive brick buildings, with highly sophisticated sanitation and drainage systems and a drab, institutional feel. The streets of Harappa, remarked British archeologist Mortimer Wheeler, "however impressive quantitatively, and significant sociologically, are aesthetically miles of monotony." The archeologist and popular author Leonard Cottrell, a contemporary of Wheeler's, wrote in 1956, "While admiring the efficiency of Harappan planning and sanitary engineering, one's general impression of Harappan culture is unattractive... One imagines those warrens of streets, baking under the fierce sun of the Punjab, as human ant heaps, full of disciplined, energetic activity, supervised and controlled by a powerful, centralized state machine; a civilization in which there was little joy, much labor, and a strong emphasis on material things."\n\nSuperior plumbing and uniform housing, no matter how well designed, don’t fire the imagination like ziggurats and gold-laden tombs. "But there's more to society than big temples and golden burials," argues Jonathan Mark Kenoyer, an archeologist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

I have an question for those of the Islam faith.?

I am curious. What does the Islam religion say about Jesus? More specifically who He was.

i will give u the info from Quran. Christians says that Jesus is the son of God,Quran says about this:[O PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE,DO NOT TRANSGRESS THE LIMITS OF YOUR RELIGION,AND DO NOT SAY ABOUT GOD EXCEPT THE TRUTH.JESUS,THE SON OF MARY,WAS A MESSENGER OF GOD AND HIS WORD THAT HE HAD SENT TO MARY,AND A REVELATION FROM HIM.THEREFORE,YOU SHALL BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS MESSENGERS.YOU SHALL NOT SAY "TRINITY".YOU SHALL REFRAIN FROM THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.GOD IS ONLY ONE GOD.BE HE GLORIFIED;HE IS MUCH TOO GLORIOUS TO HAVE A SON.TO HIM BELONGS EVERYTHING IN THE HEAVENS AND EVERYTHING ON EARTH.GOD SUFFICES AS LORD AND MASTER.](4:171) [JESUS WOULD NEVER DISDAIN FROM BEING A SERVANT OF GOD,NOR WOULD THE CLOSEST ANGLES.THOSE WHO DISDAIN FROM WORSHIPPING HIM,HE WILL SUMMON THEM ALL BEFORE HIM.](4:172) [IN BLASPHEMY INDEED ARE THOSE THAT SAY THAT GOD IS CHRIST,THE SON OF MARY.SAY:"WHO COULD OPPOSE GOD IF HE WILLED TO ANNIHILATE THE JESUS,SON OF MARY,AND HIS MOTHER,AND EVERYONE ON EARTH?" TO GOD BELONGS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN THEM.HE CREATS WHATEVER HE WILLS.GOD IS OMNIPOTENT.](5:19) [THEY DO BLASPHEMY WHO SAY THAT GOD IS JESUS,SON OF MARY.BUT JESUS SAID,"O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,YOU SHALL WORSHIP GOD;MY LORD AND YOUR LORD." ANYONE WHO SETS UP ANY IDOL BESIDES GOD, GOD HAS FORBIDDEN PARADISE FOR HIM,AND HIS DESTINY IS HELL.THE WRONG-DOERS HAVE NO HELPERS.](5:75) [THEY DO BLASPHEME WHO SAY THAT GOD IS ONE OF THREE IN A TRINITY:THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ONE GOD.UNLESS THEY REFRAIN FROM SAYING THIS,THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE AMONG THEM WILL INCUR A PAINFUL RETRIBUTION.](5:76) [ [JESUS THE SON OF MARY WAS NO MORE THAN A MESSENGER LIKE THE MESSENGERS BEFORE HIM,AND HIS MOTHER WAS A WOMEN OF TRUTH.BOTH OF THEM USED TO EAT THE FOOD.SEE HOW GOD DOTH MAKE HIS SIGNS CLEAR TO THEM;YET SEE IN WHAT WAYS THEY ARE DELUDED AWAY FROM THE TRUTH.](5:78) [GOD WILL SAY(on the day of resurrection),"O,JESUS,SON OF MARY,DID YOU SAY TO PEOPLE,'MAKE ME AND MY MOTHER IDOLS BESIDE GOD?'

Christians says that Jesus is the son of God,Quran says about this:[O PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE,DO NOT TRANSGRESS THE LIMITS OF YOUR RELIGION,AND DO NOT SAY ABOUT GOD EXCEPT THE TRUTH.JESUS,THE SON OF MARY,WAS A MESSENGER OF GOD AND HIS WORD THAT HE HAD SENT TO MARY,AND A REVELATION FROM HIM.THEREFORE,YOU SHALL BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS MESSENGERS.YOU SHALL NOT SAY "TRINITY".YOU SHALL REFRAIN FROM THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.GOD IS ONLY ONE GOD.BE HE GLORIFIED;HE IS MUCH TOO GLORIOUS TO HAVE A SON.TO HIM BELONGS EVERYTHING IN THE HEAVENS AND EVERYTHING ON EARTH.GOD SUFFICES AS LORD AND MASTER.](4:171) [JESUS WOULD NEVER DISDAIN FROM BEING A SERVANT OF GOD,NOR WOULD THE CLOSEST ANGLES.THOSE WHO DISDAIN FROM WORSHIPPING HIM,HE WILL SUMMON THEM ALL BEFORE HIM.](4:172) [IN BLASPHEMY INDEED ARE THOSE THAT SAY THAT GOD IS CHRIST,THE SON OF MARY.SAY:"WHO COULD OPPOSE GOD IF HE WILLED TO ANNIHILATE THE JESUS,SON OF MARY,AND HIS MOTHER,AND EVERYONE ON EARTH?" TO GOD BELONGS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN THEM.HE CREATS WHATEVER HE WILLS.GOD IS OMNIPOTENT.](5:19) [THEY DO BLASPHEMY WHO SAY THAT GOD IS JESUS,SON OF MARY.BUT JESUS SAID,"O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,YOU SHALL WORSHIP GOD;MY LORD AND YOUR LORD." ANYONE WHO SETS UP ANY IDOL BESIDES GOD, GOD HAS FORBIDDEN PARADISE FOR HIM,AND HIS DESTINY IS HELL.THE WRONG-DOERS HAVE NO HELPERS.](5:75) [THEY DO BLASPHEME WHO SAY THAT GOD IS ONE OF THREE IN A TRINITY:THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ONE GOD.UNLESS THEY REFRAIN FROM SAYING THIS,THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE AMONG THEM WILL INCUR A PAINFUL RETRIBUTION.](5:76) [ [JESUS THE SON OF MARY WAS NO MORE THAN A MESSENGER LIKE THE MESSENGERS BEFORE HIM,AND HIS MOTHER WAS A WOMEN OF TRUTH.BOTH OF THEM USED TO EAT THE FOOD.SEE HOW GOD DOTH MAKE HIS SIGNS CLEAR TO THEM;YET SEE IN WHAT WAYS THEY ARE DELUDED AWAY FROM THE TRUTH.](5:78) [GOD WILL SAY(on the day of resurrection),"O,JESUS,SON OF MARY,DID YOU SAY TO PEOPLE,'MAKE ME AND MY MOTHER IDOLS BESIDE GOD?' HE WILL SAY,BE YOU GLORIFIED,I COULD NOT SAY WHAT I HAD NO RIGHT (TO SAY).HAD I SAID IT,YOU ALREADY WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT.YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS,AND I DO NOT KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.YOU KNOW ALL SECRETS.](5:119)[ [I TOLD THEM ONLY WHAT YOU COMMANDED ME TO SAY,THAT:"YOU SHALL WORSHIP GOD,MY LORD AND YOUR LORD";I WAS A WITNESS OVER THEM WHILST I DEWELT AMONGST THEM;WHEN YOU TERMINATED MY LIFE ON EARTH,YOU BECAME THE WATCHER OVER THEM.YOU WITNESS ALL THINGS](5:120) Jesus says:[GOD IS MY LORD AND YOUR LORD,YOU SHALL WORSHIP HIM ALONE.THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH.](3:51) [ [THE SIMILITUDE OF JESUS BEFORE GOD IS AS ADAM;HE CREATED HIM FROM DUST,THEN SAID TO HIM:"BE".AND HE WAS.THE TRUTH(COMES) FROM GOD ALONE;SO BE NOT OF THOSE WHO DOUBT.](3:59-60) [ [HE WAS NO MORE THAN A SERVENT(OF GOD) WHOM WE BLESSED,AND WE SENT HIM AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL](43:59) if u want to read about jesus in Quran,read sura Maryam(chapter:19,Mary).also these sites will be useful:www.islamonline.net, www.submission.org, www.jannah.org NOTE:I RESPECT CHRISTIANITY AND I NEVER MEANS TO INSULT THOSE WHO CHOSE TO BELIEVE IN IT.

What is "Thales of Melitus" pls......?

it has somethint to do with Mathematics

Thales (in Greek: Θαλής) of Miletus (ca. 635 BC-543 BC), also known as Thales the Milesian, was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition as well as the father of science.\n\nGeometry\nThales is credited with first popularizing geometry in ancient Greek culture, mainly that of spatial relationships. He is the first one who separated trigonometry as an independent branch of mathematics, to become one of the four basic "elements" of geometry. The other three elements of geometry are about the length, square and cube of an object.\n\nIn geometry, Thales' theorem (named after Thales of Miletus) states that if A, B and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle, then the angle ABC is a right angle.\n\nWe use the following facts: the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to two right angles and that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.\n\nLet O be the center of the circle. Since OA = OB = OC, OAB and OBC are isosceles triangles, and by the equality of the base angles of an isosceles triangle, OBC = OCB and BAO = ABO. Let γ = BAO and δ = OBC.\n\nSince the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, we have\n\n2γ + γ ′ = 180° \nand\n\n2δ + δ ′ = 180° \nWe also know that\n\nγ ′ + δ ′ = 180° \nAdding the first two equations and subtracting the third, we obtain\n\n2γ + γ ′ + 2δ + δ ′ − (γ ′ + δ ′) = 180° \nwhich, after cancelling γ ′ and δ ′, implies that\n\nγ + δ = 90° \n\nThe converse of Thales' theorem is also valid, which states that a right triangle's hypotenuse is a diameter of its circumcircle.\n\nThe theorem and its converse can be expressed as follows:\n\nThe center of the circumcircle of a triangle lies on one of the triangle's sides if and only if the triangle is a right triangle. \n\nProof of the converse\nThe proof utilises the fact that directional vectors of two lines form right angles if and only if the dot product is zero. Let there be a right angle ABC and circle M with AC as a diameter. Let M's center lie on the origin, for easier calculation. Then the dot product of AB and BC is\n\n(A − B) · (B − C) = (A − B) · (B + A) = |A|2 − |B|2 = 0. \nHence:\n\n|A| = |B|. \nA and B are also equidistant from the circle's center, hence M is the triangle's circumcenter.\n\nThe Theorems Attributed to Thales\n\nFive Euclidean theorems have been explicitly attributed to Thales, and the testimony is that Thales successfully applied two theorems to the solution of practical problems. \n\nThales did not formulate proofs in the formal sense. What Thales did was to put forward certain propositions which, it seems, he could have 'proven' by induction: he observed the similar results of his calculations: he showed by repeated experiment that his propositions and theorems were correct, and if none of his calculations resulted in contrary outcomes, he probably felt justified in accepting his results as proof. Thalean 'proof' was often really inductive demonstration. The process Thales used was the method of exhaustion. This seems to be the evidence from Proclus who declared that Thales 'attacked some problems in a general way and others more empirically'. \n\nDEFINITION I.17: A diameter of the circle is a straight line drawn through the centre and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle; and such a straight line also bisects the circle (Proclus, 124). > \n\nPROPOSITION I.5: In isosceles triangles the angles at the base are equal; and if the equal straight lines are produced further, the angles under the base will be equal (Proclus, 244). It seems that Thales discovered only the first part of this theorem for Proclus reported: We are indebted to old Thales for the discovery of this and many other theorems.
