1,400	8Family & Relationships	what is a proven successful strategy for a male in match.com?	I mean, what should I do? should a put a lot of importance in my picture? or my profile? or should I inflate my income? or should I put much more care on the emails I write? How should I write an email such that it maximizes my likelihood of success? should I be smart? should I be positive? should I be bold? I mean, it seems like there are 70 men per woman in match.com... to be attractive you might need to have a strategy for success... otherwise you ar going to be part of the 69 men that don't get much.	1. Put a good picture of yourself. If your undecided which pics to put up, ask a friend, or post them on http://www.hotornot.com and have them voted on. \n2. In your profile be sure to be honest and open about yourself. But at the same time, if you want to distinquish yourself from the millions of guys on there, don't be too desperate. Have confidence. \n3. Stay in the middle. Don't be too funny, but don't be too serious in your description.
1,401	9Politics & Government	Are people that consume vegetables produced by illegal aliens evil?		You are the evil one for thinking this way! Not to mention ignorant; these people are just trying to make a living. A form of living you by no means would want to inquire. People have died in the fields. They work 16 hrs a day on temperatures above 90 degrees fahrenheit,just to bring you some fresh produce, and you try to deny them an over earned wage. You should be thinking on how we can get them to make more money. Not deprive them of a wage!
1,402	9Politics & Government	How can the social quagmire of abortion be resolved when only about 15% of elected offices are held by women?		While abortion obviously affects women's bodies, maybe that is only 15% of the issue? Perhaps the other 85% are social, religious and scientific? So the parts dedicated to women's reproductive rights aren't the major parts of the issue, but rather the unknown and arguable stuff that I just gave an 85% weight.
1,403	3Education & Reference	What's your favorite word in the Spanish language?		Ferrocarril. I said it every day for about 6 months so I could learn to trill my rr's.

1,405	6Business & Finance	what feels the best?		finally reaching ur dreams
1,406	9Politics & Government	Should the government ever have the right to spy on it's own citizens?	If so, how does this increase freedom?	The government should have the right to observe citizens. The NSA's mission is just that: to observe electronically criminal and terrorist interests. It is largely unlikely that a Big Brother society will develop as a result of this: the government will never have enough resources to listen in on everyone, nor would they want to. \n\nElectronic bugging has caught many criminals where standard investigations failed. These men include John Gotti, other Mafia dons, terrorists, and organized crime rings. It is an essential part of law enforcement and must continue.
1,407	7Entertainment & Music	what year did lynard skynard come out with who black betty?		Ram Jam sang 'Black Betty'. Not Skynyrd. Sorry. \nThe year was 1977, by the way.
1,408	3Education & Reference	What contents are in an official high school transcript?	Does it include records of attendence,demerits, and deciplinary actions?	Usually the grades from all your classes from 9th grade to 12th grade and the scores from any standardized tests you may have taken. I have seen my transcripts and never saw any record of things outside grades and scores.
1,409	0Society & Culture	what is the reason for life?		The reason for life is to live for God all the way. Or if your asking why are we here, then I'll have to research that one.

1,411	2Health	what is the best way to fight a cold?		Best thing is sleep and fluids. A cold is a virus and there is nothing you can take to lessen the extent of the cold's lifecycle. Everything the pharmaceutical companies sell is only masking the cold to make you feel a little better, but it actually can prolong the life of the cold virus. I'm right there with you as I caught one from my daughter.
1,412	5Sports	Are the Spurs going to repeat as NBA champions? If not, who will dethrone them?		The way things are going, Spurs-Pistons is going to go 7 games in the finals again. The Pistons are peaking more at the moment, but both teams show strong signs of being better than last year. This could be the best finals since Pistons-Lakers back in the days of Magic and Isiah.\n\nIn the end, I've got to go with the team with the best player, Tim Duncan. Spurs in 7.
1,413	6Business & Finance	can I make real money online?

1,414	3Education & Reference	What is the best social problem to talk about in a 10th grade student essay?		How about the lack of personal responsibility for one's own actions these days?
1,415	0Society & Culture	what do you think of muslims and Islam ?		Islamic culture was superior to christian culture during the Middle Ages, but after that the western civilization got better and the muslims lagged and got mostly stuff in their dark ages.\n\nIslam per se is not as bad as people tend to think. Muslim fundamentalists don't represent the 'real' or mainstream islam. That would be like saying that the christian whackos who think the Bible is to be taken literal represent mainstream Christianity.\n\nMost muslim people are people like you and me who just want to quietly live their lives and care about their families.

1,420	5Sports	Can Freddy Adu survive the pressure of playing soccer in Europe?	Or would he dissapear and become an average player like the %90 of overrated young talents?	Dai makes a good point on MLS players making the transfer to Europe. The only American that I have seen make the transfer and you hear of when watching the nightly reports on Europes games is Brian McBride. Though he has been with many clubs in Europe since 2000, he is still playing good.
1,421	3Education & Reference	what is titratable acidity, how is it formed in the kidney and excreted in the urine?		Titratable Acidity\nH+ is produced from CO2 and H2O (as in the proximal tubular cells) and actively transported into the distal tubular lumen via a H+-ATPase pump. Titratable acidity represents the H+ which is buffered mostly by phosphate which is present in significant concentration. Creatinine (pKa approx 5.0) may also contribute to TA. At the minimum urinary pH, it will account for some of the titratable acidity. If ketoacids are present, they also contribute to titratable acidity. In severe diabetic ketoacidosis, beta-hydroxybutyrate (pKa 4.8) is the major component of TA.\n\nThe TA can be measured in the urine from the amount of sodium hydroxide needed to titrate the urine pH back to 7.4 hence the name ‘titratable acidity’.

1,423	5Sports	IF THE HOUSTON TEXANS GET THE #1 PICK IN NEXT YEARS NFL DRAFT, SHOULD THEY GET REGGIE BUSH?		Houston has a good young QB in Carr, a good your receiver in Johnson, and a good young RB in Davis. Logically, I would say trade down and build up the bigger needs at OL and defense in order to build a more complete team. However, Reggie Bush may be a once in a generation type of player and whatever team passes on him may be looked on historically as we do the Portland Trailblazers for passing on Michael Jordan.
1,424	0Society & Culture	Why do we say "bless you" after someone sneezes ?		because we say God Bless You because when you sneeze your heart supposevely stops for a mili second.
1,425	4Computers & Internet	What does the new EU law about data retention really mean to us?		An intolerable breach of citizens' privacy!!! Suppose they see in you a person who is helping Irak to develop and build the mass destruction weapons Mr Bush "saw" there!!!? Well, just joking! But there is always the risk that data may be used in a wrong and foul way.
1,426	3Education & Reference	i just want to know if there any school here in somerset who offer a six weeks training of a nurse asistant?		Somerset Community College offers Accreditation from the NLNAC Accredited Nursing where you can get certified or get an Associate's in Nursing.\n\nPhone: (606) 679-8501\nSomerset Community College\n808 Monticello Street\nSomerset, KY 42501\n\nhttp://www.allnursingschools.com/find/show.php?id=457
1,427	5Sports	will the seattle seahawks go the superbowl this year?		No, for two reasons:\n\n1. They're not as good as their overall record (11-2). They play in the uber-weak NFC West which means fat helpings of the Niners, Rams and Cardinals. Yum. They're 3-2 versus teams with winning records (and the Giants game really should have made that 2-3). So I don't think they're that much better than the Giants, Bears/Vikes, Bucs, Panthers, Falcons, Cowboys and Skins--doesn't mean they can't get there, I just don't think they're the overwhelming favorite that their record would indicate.\n\n2.) A lot of the time, teams reach the Conference Championship once and lose at least once before winning and going to the Super Bowl. It's not a lock, it's not certain (and it depends a lot on the competition), but look for the Seahawks to make it to the NFC Championship and lose to someone recently experienced in getting to the next level like the Bucs/Giants/Panthers.
1,428	5Sports	Is it better to buy a new or used pontoon boat for an all-recreation lake?		You will get a better value by looking at used boats. Also off season [like now] is a good time to look around for a good deal. Fresh water use on a boat and engine are not as hard as salt water, so it's reasonable that you'l find something in good condition.

1,432	9Politics & Government	Can anyone tell me more about the "Project for the New American Century"?	I have heard that those people actually had the whole Iraq war mapped out in advance. Anyone know about that, or anything more about this group? What is your opinion of this group?	It is the groundwork laid by the extreme right to take over the earth by means of global domination and imperialism. it's all about controlling the worlds energy sources. specifically fossil fuels.\n\nit's a baseline to establish class cleansing in this country. Be afraid... be very afraid.\n\nThese people are the modern day equivilant of the Third Reich\n\nhere's what's really going on....\nhttp://www.pnac.info
1,433	4Computers & Internet	where do you learn to hack?		But seriously, I'm way older than 7 and have found lots of resources.

1,435	0Society & Culture	With proof that we all came from the same ancestors would racism stop?	Recently there was a show on TV, I forget who but a scientist has proven we all carry the same common genes. So Adam and Eve or Scientifically we all come from the same man about 60,000 years ago, while all other forms of humans died off.	Even if racism stopped, people would just find another reason to hate each other. Color of hair, size of ears, they would find something.
1,436	0Society & Culture	Define BELIEF.What do you think of Athiests and Communists?Explain.?		Belief is just a kind of knowledge. I'm an atheist and I believe in lots of things: my children's love and the scientific method, for example. I just don't believe in god(s).\n\nAs for Communism, that was a unfortunate combination of an academic theorist (Marx) and a totalitarian revolutionary (Lenin) -- which is why it's sometimes referred to as Marxist-Leninism. Lenin and Stalin's terrible effects on the USSR shouldn't necessarily detract from our understanding of Marx's class analysis of society. Any doubt about whether class exists as a powerful force in the US should have been thoroughly washed away by Hurricane Katrina.

1,440	6Business & Finance	what is the best way to get rid of a cold and FAST!!!?		Some people believe that echinacea strengthens the immune system, allowing it to fight the cold virus better.\n\nYour body has to do the work to fight off the cold. There's no secret pill that will kill the viruses for you.
1,441	6Business & Finance	in the food service industry, there is a small vegetable dish that is called a monkey dish, Why?		The real reason for calling this small dish a "monkey dish" has been lost. The stories in the other anser as as good as any. They has been repeated again and again on the web (but this does not make them any more reliable).\nOthers have associated this dish with the "ramekin."\nSee the first three sites below.\nThe most reliable source that I could find states:\nThere are questions for which there are no satisfactory answers (Who named the "monkey dish?"). See the final site.

1,453	9Politics & Government	what is the maximum amount of ssi benefits a 23 year old person can resieve if going to school in merced count		As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately. Are you disabled? And you're a student in Merced County, California? Regardless, the information regarding your situation is far too abstract and ambiguous to provide a concrete answer. I've included a link to BEST put out by the Social Security Administration. BEST is the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool, which does not compute the total sum of benefits you're eligible for, but simply determine which category of benefits are right for you, if you're eligible. This should be the first step toward determining the total eligible. The SSA would be able to provide more details for you in your specific situation, since amounts may vary wildly depending on personal facts and details.
1,454	5Sports	where did formula 1 get its name from?		there are many "formula ___" racing series - formula simply means a set of rules. in the early days of grand prix auto racing, there was a race series called "formula libre" which is, i think, italian for "free form" - basically no rules, and the fastest car wins. various rule sets were introduced over the years, and formula "one" was so named because it was to be the fastest and highest level of competition. \n\nsee the links below for a great backstory on the history of GP racing as well as a list of other formulae series.
1,455	6Business & Finance	How is like to live in kissimmee, Flordia?		Living in Kissimmee, Florida is great. So relaxing. Its close to the major attractions and only about 15 minutes away from Disney World. The people there are friendly and come from a variety of backgrounds. Tourests are seen during the holidoay seasons. There are many accomodation choices. There are loads of stuff to do there and the weather is usually good, except it can get wet sometimes ;P. Umm.. what else can I say... if you have a specific question about the area, i'll be glad to answer.

1,457	3Education & Reference	most important invention in the last 100 years?		I'd say the transistor. All computers and electronic devices are made of them. This includes your cellphone and internet supportive hardware like routers that support the whole World Wide Web
1,458	8Family & Relationships	Passionate people - do they match well together or spell disaster?	people who feel to the deepest depth, love with all their heart, feel all emotion with every ounce of being...do they stand a chance when paired together? Do they make each other stronger or take away?	This is more of a case-by-case situation. With the understanding that both people are very passionate, the whole relationship could boil down to a competition of expression; one might try to outdue the other in showing how much they care. Depending on the people, this could come out very well, but at the same time, it could end in catastrophe. Another way it could end up going is that one of the two may feel too clouded in the other's show of passion, and feel like they need a break... thus possibly bringing the whole thing to an end. Not a common occurance, but it happens. The last thing i will mention is the more common of the 3, and by far, the best. The two people keep their display of passion limited to a certain amount. this assures that noone will feel drown out, and at the same time, neither of the two feels neglected by the other. I'm not talking about only saying "i love you" every 3rd wednesday or anything, those little things are ok to do whenever, but bigger things like dinner dates, trips to the movies, roses and yes, even sex, should be "rationed" to make sure you don't burn your candle down too fast and feel that there is nothing more really for you. \n\nIt is possible for any of these to happen, and with some variance, but once again, it all boils down to the types of people involved. Their other traits in their personality and their past will influence which path will occur.\n\n(i love your questions btw, give me more to answer, lol)
1,459	1Science & Mathematics	Submerged geometric shapes near Cuba?	These were discovered in the summer of 2004 (I think that was when).

1,461	7Entertainment & Music	I want to burn cds but i dont know how to?		Maybe you can read more about it here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_burner\n\nAnyhow, you'll need a special software to do that. Try a google search for that and have fun.
1,462	4Computers & Internet	When Yahoo and MSN talk to each other...which one will u use? and Why?	and give reason...if I can't decide the best answer I'll call a vote..and that's likely to happen	I use both and both have strength and weakness. (I wonder why Yahoo and MSN are so dumb not to study the competitor's strength and improve own product)\n\nMSN:\n1. status clear - it shows offline when it is offline and online when it is online. When there is a message that doesn't go through, it tells you.\n2. It is relatively harder to sign in compared to Yahoo.\n3. No offline message ability\n4. extremely convenient control on each of your pal\n\nYahoo:\n1. Status unclear - we don't know whether some of our messages to through or not.\n2. Very easy to sign in - one can detect this if one is using a connection with really low bandwidth\n3. Offline message ability\n4. more steps to have control on pals in contact list\n\nMore... let's explore some more...

1,464	6Business & Finance	Why do people attack religious beliefs in the name of religion?	Why Is my belief in the one true God and the Godhood of Jesus so offensive to the world?	Its offensive to me because your people feel the need to spread the gospel(which actually means forcing your ideas on people) and throughout history many millions have been tortured and murdered because they would not accept the gospel. I am sure that you and your church buddies do have a torture chamber in the basement, but your ancestors did. Open up some history books and flip to the inquisition. It will amaze you. Even the Pope is ashamed of this period.
1,465	1Science & Mathematics	I have to put sulfur in my hair and have been mixing it with aloe vera gel.There is an odor.Is this toxic?	I am concerned with the chemical reaction of sulfur and water (in the aloe) and want to know what is formed. Most sources say that sulfur is not toxic when applied topically and a few say that it is.	What you are probably using is called pharmaceutical sulfur. It is used as a scabicide, parasiticidal, and antiseptic. There are three forms. Precipitated sulfur, sublimed sulfur, washed sulfur. Sublimed and washed sulfur are in the form of a fine yellow crystalline powder, with only a faint odor and taste. Precipitated sulfur is a very fine pale yellow amorphous or microcryst powder, which is odorless and tasteless. I am still looking for toxicity data and I will update my answer if I find anything. I wouldn't worry about using it, the cure is probably better than the illness. But always talk to a doctor before starting any kind of treatments.

1,467	6Business & Finance	How to say no to your senior in the office?		There are different ways to say "no", very much depends on gender factor, I believe.\n\nA girl to say "no" to a senior have to show that she's strong.\n\nA lad to say "to" to a senior have to show that he is weak.\n\nHow to show? That's another topic.
1,468	8Family & Relationships	I dont understand my love life.I want to have a bf but whenever i have my mood easily get change.?		It is much easier to manage one person (yourself) than two people. Having a significant other doesn't always mean all sunshine and roses. What it does is it widens the spectrum of your emotions and your life. You will be happier than you ever felt, and other times sadder than you've ever been.

1,471	1Science & Mathematics	Why is it dark when it rains but not when it snows during the day?		Well to be more precise:\n\nThe mass of rain within a cloud directly affects how much light actually passes through, as the rain mass is somewhat of a solid entity, the light finds it hard to actually pass through.\n\nSnow clouds, and banks, ect are of equal mass, but not density. Snow is inherently lighter than that of rain, which makes the light pass through them more efficiently.\n\nAlso, you have to understand that the cloud is still producing rain, however within the colder altitudes above the surface the rain is eventually forzen into snow/ice.

1,478	1Science & Mathematics	If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?		The answer to this depends on if you are a physicist or a biologist! A physicist would say "yes" because to him/her sound is vibration of air molecules which will occur when a tree falls. \n\nA biologist, however would say "no" because sound is a perception in the brains of living things capable of perceiving it. The perception is a brain's interpretation of the nerve signals sent to it as a result of vibrations causing the eardrum to vibrate, then the ossicles in the middle ear, then the fluid in the cochlea, then the hair cells etc. There is no sound until a brain perceives it, only vibrating air.\n\nEven if the vibrations are recorded, there is still no sound until the recording is played and heard/interpreted by a capable brain.

1,481	3Education & Reference	In what ways does wildlife extinction impacts our world.?		There is this really great book called EXTINCTION by the Ehrlichs(?)...which starts out with a beautiful analogy about the environment. It starts off with this guy who removes rivets (screws) from an airplane wing so that he could sell them for profit. Each rivet/screw represents a unique species that plays an important role in our ecosystem. The loss of each one has an adverse effect on the whole structure. It is true that such effects may or may not have an immediate recognizable effect on us but that does not mean that it is not happening. Also, we humans, have proven that we are really self centered that we do not recognize the damage that we are doing unless it hits us in the face. There are countless examples of chain reactions in the ecosystem due to a loss of an integral species. For example, (although I am no longer certain about the details) due to the misuse of a pesticide by farmers in rural Peru, an outbreak of more resistant pests evolved. The farmers in reaction started to use more pesticides which affected the other species that naturally feed on and control these pests. The situation got so bad that it escalated to such an extent that cats which controlled the rat population died out because they got the higher dose of the poisonous pesticide in their system. Finally, (believe it or not) they had to fly cats to the area and dropped them from helicopters...thus it did rain cats that day in Peru.

1,496	3Education & Reference	how to recieve sounds in an acoustic guitar.?		Good question. I'll try to keep it short. The sound is produced by the string vibrations, this also causes the face of the guitar and other strings to vibrate. The sound from the vibrating guitar string goes into the sound hole, bounces arround, then comes out out, but louder from the soung hole. This is why accoustic guitar are louder than unamplified electric guitars. \n\nIf you wish to use a mic, I recommend an onmi-directional microphone into an amp. Then you can use the effects loop if your amp has one. Remember onmi-directional mics pick up from all directions. So if you are near the bass amp, you may want to consider exact placement.\n\nBest wishes.
1,497	7Entertainment & Music	why do singers with accents dont sing with accents?		What I've noticed is that people with accents don't really have the "accents", but you still can recognise when someone with accent's singing English song. There's something in the way that person pronounces certain letters or words. Take T.a.t.u. for example, they don't have Russian accent in songs but you can hear their English isn't really native, you can hear their pronounciation of some letters are different, in some way softer. And Spanish singers, too, they have some softer pronounciation. And I agree with the rest that it's all about the intonation when you sing so that's why you can't hear their accents.

what is titratable acidity, how is it formed in the kidney and excreted in the urine?

Titratable Acidity\nH+ is produced from CO2 and H2O (as in the proximal tubular cells) and actively transported into the distal tubular lumen via a H+-ATPase pump. Titratable acidity represents the H+ which is buffered mostly by phosphate which is present in significant concentration. Creatinine (pKa approx 5.0) may also contribute to TA. At the minimum urinary pH, it will account for some of the titratable acidity. If ketoacids are present, they also contribute to titratable acidity. In severe diabetic ketoacidosis, beta-hydroxybutyrate (pKa 4.8) is the major component of TA.\n\nThe TA can be measured in the urine from the amount of sodium hydroxide needed to titrate the urine pH back to 7.4 hence the name ‘titratable acidity’.

will the seattle seahawks go the superbowl this year?

No, for two reasons:\n\n1. They're not as good as their overall record (11-2). They play in the uber-weak NFC West which means fat helpings of the Niners, Rams and Cardinals. Yum. They're 3-2 versus teams with winning records (and the Giants game really should have made that 2-3). So I don't think they're that much better than the Giants, Bears/Vikes, Bucs, Panthers, Falcons, Cowboys and Skins--doesn't mean they can't get there, I just don't think they're the overwhelming favorite that their record would indicate.\n\n2.) A lot of the time, teams reach the Conference Championship once and lose at least once before winning and going to the Super Bowl. It's not a lock, it's not certain (and it depends a lot on the competition), but look for the Seahawks to make it to the NFC Championship and lose to someone recently experienced in getting to the next level like the Bucs/Giants/Panthers.

what is the maximum amount of ssi benefits a 23 year old person can resieve if going to school in merced count

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately. Are you disabled? And you're a student in Merced County, California? Regardless, the information regarding your situation is far too abstract and ambiguous to provide a concrete answer. I've included a link to BEST put out by the Social Security Administration. BEST is the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool, which does not compute the total sum of benefits you're eligible for, but simply determine which category of benefits are right for you, if you're eligible. This should be the first step toward determining the total eligible. The SSA would be able to provide more details for you in your specific situation, since amounts may vary wildly depending on personal facts and details.

where did formula 1 get its name from?

there are many "formula ___" racing series - formula simply means a set of rules. in the early days of grand prix auto racing, there was a race series called "formula libre" which is, i think, italian for "free form" - basically no rules, and the fastest car wins. various rule sets were introduced over the years, and formula "one" was so named because it was to be the fastest and highest level of competition. \n\nsee the links below for a great backstory on the history of GP racing as well as a list of other formulae series.

Passionate people - do they match well together or spell disaster?

people who feel to the deepest depth, love with all their heart, feel all emotion with every ounce of being...do they stand a chance when paired together? Do they make each other stronger or take away?

This is more of a case-by-case situation. With the understanding that both people are very passionate, the whole relationship could boil down to a competition of expression; one might try to outdue the other in showing how much they care. Depending on the people, this could come out very well, but at the same time, it could end in catastrophe. Another way it could end up going is that one of the two may feel too clouded in the other's show of passion, and feel like they need a break... thus possibly bringing the whole thing to an end. Not a common occurance, but it happens. The last thing i will mention is the more common of the 3, and by far, the best. The two people keep their display of passion limited to a certain amount. this assures that noone will feel drown out, and at the same time, neither of the two feels neglected by the other. I'm not talking about only saying "i love you" every 3rd wednesday or anything, those little things are ok to do whenever, but bigger things like dinner dates, trips to the movies, roses and yes, even sex, should be "rationed" to make sure you don't burn your candle down too fast and feel that there is nothing more really for you. \n\nIt is possible for any of these to happen, and with some variance, but once again, it all boils down to the types of people involved. Their other traits in their personality and their past will influence which path will occur.\n\n(i love your questions btw, give me more to answer, lol)

Why do people attack religious beliefs in the name of religion?

Why Is my belief in the one true God and the Godhood of Jesus so offensive to the world?

Its offensive to me because your people feel the need to spread the gospel(which actually means forcing your ideas on people) and throughout history many millions have been tortured and murdered because they would not accept the gospel. I am sure that you and your church buddies do have a torture chamber in the basement, but your ancestors did. Open up some history books and flip to the inquisition. It will amaze you.

I have to put sulfur in my hair and have been mixing it with aloe vera gel.There is an odor.Is this toxic?

I am concerned with the chemical reaction of sulfur and water (in the aloe) and want to know what is formed. Most sources say that sulfur is not toxic when applied topically and a few say that it is.

What you are probably using is called pharmaceutical sulfur. It is used as a scabicide, parasiticidal, and antiseptic. There are three forms. Precipitated sulfur, sublimed sulfur, washed sulfur. Sublimed and washed sulfur are in the form of a fine yellow crystalline powder, with only a faint odor and taste. Precipitated sulfur is a very fine pale yellow amorphous or microcryst powder, which is odorless and tasteless. I am still looking for toxicity data and I will update my answer if I find anything. I wouldn't worry about using it, the cure is probably better than the illness. But always talk to a doctor before starting any kind of treatments.

Why is it dark when it rains but not when it snows during the day?

Well to be more precise:\n\nThe mass of rain within a cloud directly affects how much light actually passes through, as the rain mass is somewhat of a solid entity, the light finds it hard to actually pass through.\n\nSnow clouds, and banks, ect are of equal mass, but not density. Snow is inherently lighter than that of rain, which makes the light pass through them more efficiently.\n\nAlso, you have to understand that the cloud is still producing rain, however within the colder altitudes above the surface the rain is eventually forzen into snow/ice. Because of this, the cloud releases light at a much faster rate than a true rain cloud would, allowing the light to reflect off the falling ice/snow.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?

The answer to this depends on if you are a physicist or a biologist! A physicist would say "yes" because to him/her sound is vibration of air molecules which will occur when a tree falls. \n\nA biologist, however would say "no" because sound is a perception in the brains of living things capable of perceiving it. The perception is a brain's interpretation of the nerve signals sent to it as a result of vibrations causing the eardrum to vibrate, then the ossicles in the middle ear, then the fluid in the cochlea, then the hair cells etc. There is no sound until a brain perceives it, only vibrating air.\n\nEven if the vibrations are recorded, there is still no sound until the recording is played and heard/interpreted by a capable brain.

In what ways does wildlife extinction impacts our world.?

There is this really great book called EXTINCTION by the Ehrlichs(?)...which starts out with a beautiful analogy about the environment. It starts off with this guy who removes rivets (screws) from an airplane wing so that he could sell them for profit. Each rivet/screw represents a unique species that plays an important role in our ecosystem. The loss of each one has an adverse effect on the whole structure. It is true that such effects may or may not have an immediate recognizable effect on us but that does not mean that it is not happening. Also, we humans, have proven that we are really self centered that we do not recognize the damage that we are doing unless it hits us in the face. There are countless examples of chain reactions in the ecosystem due to a loss of an integral species. For example, (although I am no longer certain about the details) due to the misuse of a pesticide by farmers in rural Peru, an outbreak of more resistant pests evolved. The farmers in reaction started to use more pesticides which affected the other species that naturally feed on and control these pests. The situation got so bad that it escalated to such an extent that cats which controlled the rat population died out because they got the higher dose of the poisonous pesticide in their system. Finally, (believe it or not) they had to fly cats to the area and dropped them from helicopters...thus it did rain cats that day in Peru.

how to recieve sounds in an acoustic guitar.?

Good question. I'll try to keep it short. The sound is produced by the string vibrations, this also causes the face of the guitar and other strings to vibrate. The sound from the vibrating guitar string goes into the sound hole, bounces arround, then comes out out, but louder from the soung hole. This is why accoustic guitar are louder than unamplified electric guitars. \n\nIf you wish to use a mic, I recommend an onmi-directional microphone into an amp. Then you can use the effects loop if your amp has one. Remember onmi-directional mics pick up from all directions. So if you are near the bass amp, you may want to consider exact placement.\n\nBest wishes.

why do singers with accents dont sing with accents?

What I've noticed is that people with accents don't really have the "accents", but you still can recognise when someone with accent's singing English song. There's something in the way that person pronounces certain letters or words. Take T.a.t.u. for example, they don't have Russian accent in songs but you can hear their English isn't really native, you can hear their pronounciation of some letters are different, in some way softer. And Spanish singers, too, they have some softer pronounciation. And I agree with the rest that it's all about the intonation when you sing so that's why you can't hear their accents.
