1,604	2Health	What causes bad breath and how do you get rid of it?		The clinical term for bad breath is halitosis. Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists.\n\nIt is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. To alleviate the odor, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, a plastic tool that scrapes away bacteria that builds on the tongue. Chewing sugar-free gum also may help control the odor. If you have dentures or a removable appliance, such as a retainer or mouthguard, clean the appliance thoroughly before placing it back in your mouth. Before you use mouth rinses, deodorizing sprays or tablets, talk with your dentist because these products only mask the odor temporarily, and some products work better than others.

Put in some sparkling ideas on how to make the appearing of the gift more surprising and exciting, and finally, find the best time to present it - which normally take patience and observance.

1,610	1Science & Mathematics	what is the biggest bridge in the world?		This is technically not true.

It is 38.422km long, and was completed in 1969.\n \nWhat the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge has is the longest bridge span, which is the distance between the suspension towers.
1,611	0Society & Culture	Don't you hate the whole buying Christmas gifts thing?	¡¡¡Merry Christmas!!! I love Christmas. But I hate going out to the stores, deciding on what to get, finding out its out of stock, fighting traffic, fighting checkout lines... What's a good one-size fits all, get over it, I'm done with it, take it and be happy, don't talk to me about another trip to the mall until 2010, happy last minute Christmas gift?	Yes, that's why this year I'm on strike with the retailers. I refuse to buy in to a commercial holiday. All of our purchasing power should be put back in to our charities. Katrina, Tsnami in India and other countries affected, Homeless in US, Make-a-Wish Foundation, and etc. I could keep going...
1,612	6Business & Finance	whats the best way for ME to get a Goverment grant to start a small business?		It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.
1,613	1Science & Mathematics	do hippos like chocolate pudding? or do they prefer some other flavor?		I'm sure if you gave a Hippo some chocolate pudding, they would gobble it up with no problem.\n\nAs far as their preference......well you know as well as I do that you may never get a true answer to that.....\n\nOne thing I do know for sure........this was a cute question and it really made me laugh.\n\nThanx for the chuckle!\n\n:)\nPeace!
1,614	9Politics & Government	What are the essential elements of a rule of law in the United States?	One purpose if the limitations impoosed by the american constitutional government is to check the power of the majority. How can this be justified in a political system that is based on popular sovereignty?	The justification for checking the majority rests in the fact that the majority can not use their power to control a minority. The saying majority rules/minority rights is a good example. The majority is in charge but they can not use their power to stomp out a minority or take away minority rights. Also, the fouding fathers wanted to include this so that a dictatorship/kingship couldn't take form. By limiting the majority it limits their ability to take control in such a way.
1,615	7Entertainment & Music	When does Kingdom Hearts 2 come out in the U.S.?		I've found a number of claims on the web - the only date I found that looks reasonable to me is March 1, 2006 for US release, with a release roughly now in Japan and first quarter 2006 in Europe.
1,616	4Computers & Internet	DSL vs. broadband?	What is the difference? Is there a difference?	DSL is a type of broadband connection. It stands for Digital Subscriber Line, and is offered by traditional phone companies (wired, not wireless). The signal travels thru phone lines and into your home or business. A modem is connected to it so it can translate the signal into ditigal data and then is usually output via Ethernet. Its main competitor (at least in homes)is Cable broadband. The difference between the two is that cable generally provides faster bandwith (download/upload speed), but is less secure than DSL, which provides each user with a unique IP (Internet Protocol)address. Most cable internet home subscribers are connected to a router with up to 255 other subscribers, making attacks and intrusions much more likely.
1,617	6Business & Finance	Do you think humans are better adapted to extreme hot or extreme cold?	Because it is damn cold out today and I am wishing it was damn hot instead	definatly extreme heat because we sweat to keep cool and we barly have any hair to keep us warm.
1,618	4Computers & Internet	How to make a backup of your windows registry.?		Click on Start -> Run\n\nA dialog box with a textbox will popup.\nEnter "regedit" in the textbox.

1,619	6Business & Finance	what is "intrisic value"?		Intrinsic value is the value of a thing (or person) based on its internal value. It is the value per se. The thing has value in and of itself. The value is inherent (naturally in) the thing.\n\nA forest has value for timber, mineral rights, tourism dollars; a shortcut to Grandmas house… but it also is a beautiful thing, perhaps a national treasure. The forest also has intrinsic value.\n\nThen there are also the answers cited. Like Nike, the Swoosh is part of Nike’s intrinsic value. If they sold off the swoosh, the intrinsic value of Nike would go down.
1,620	8Family & Relationships	how do i find my soul mate?		First of all, to draw the kind of person you want, you must be the kind of person your soul mate would want. Become secure in what type of person you are and what you want, so when the person comes along you will recognize them. Hang out in the kind of places your soul mate might be---meetings or clubs having to do with your hobbies or work, places of religion if you are religious, online dating sites, etc. Ultimately, I believe it comes down to who you are and what you project about yourself. Don't put on a front, be your true self, and eventually you and your soul mate will find each other. I followed what I've written here and it worked for me. My husband and I are truly soul mates and have been married a little over three years now. (Incidently, we met on the internet.:)) The poem "Waiting", in the link below, was my motto during the years I was seeking my soul mate.

1,624	6Business & Finance	why don't president Bush do something effective to keep illegal aliens out of the country?		I believe that like it or not nothing effective will ever be done and for this reason... illegal aliens usually come here to make money and create a better life for themselves. With the knowledge that they are illegal they are very willing to take jobs that pay under the minimum wage in order to even have a job. since this is illegal there is no way to get help on raising thier pay so they are stuck. This situation is appealing to the owners of agriculture because they can pay them very little for very hard labor increasing their profits. this in turn helps our economy as well as filling jobs that most americans do not want. So bush probably doesnt feel the need to address this problem.
1,625	6Business & Finance	what could be the internal control weaknesses in relation to purchases and accouts payables?		One obvious weakness would be having the same person who approves the purchase be the one who cuts the check. You need to have a separation of duties.
1,626	0Society & Culture	What does the term "Six ways from Sunday" mean?	Where did it originate?	Its analogous to "every which way" or "as much/often as possible." According to lastsource.com (which is linked below in cached form, as I was having trouble accessing the site), the phrase originated in Rome during the early days of Christianity: In order to encourage Church-goers to show up to Mass on time, the parish priest would have the last person to arrive beaten mercilessly the other 6 days of the week.

1,629	1Science & Mathematics	Why do we always close our eyes when we sneeze?		Researchers aren't sure exactly why the sneeze reflex happens, but whatever neurological message tells the eyes to close probably comes from a primitive part of the brain called the medulla oblongata in the brain stem.
1,630	3Education & Reference	How do you make a Sudoku puzzle?	Everytime i fill one in and it always says "made by hand" does this meana machine can't make them?\n\nI would rather get an answer to my first question please.	Just randomly enter numbers according to the rules of the puzzle, but using a blank grid. Start with one or two per 9-square block. To make the puzzle difficult, only enter a few numbers, and add more to make it easier.\n\nIt should be quite simple for a computer program to make a Sudoku puzzle, since there are basic rules to follow. I'm sure the "made by hand" claim is for marketing purposes (though I'm sure it's true).
1,631	6Business & Finance	bail bonds boise idaho licence?	want to get a bail bondsman licence for boise,idaho ada county	Idaho does not seem to have a statewide licensing program for Bail Bondsmen.

1,633	2Health	What is the best to fight coughing?		Is the cough productive? Any blood or sputum. Is the sputum clear or green and mucky. Any other symptoms?\n\nThe best approach is to treat the cause\n\n1. Certain drugs eg ace inhibitors have this side effect.\n\n2. smoking - cut down or stop\n\n3. Upper (nose, windpipe) and lower (lung tissue) respiratory tract infections. aka pneumonmia/chest/lung infection.\n\n4. anxiety disordes\n\n5. other - always see a qualified physician if symptoms are not settling
1,634	0Society & Culture	My 2 cents.. why is it called so?		"My two cents" is a rather small contribution except when compared with "a penny for your thoughts." Actually, two cents was the amount that you could get for turning in a Coke bottle in the 50's. However, my brother (and a buddy) turned in bottles as a kid and found a 1955 double-strike penny worth hundreds of dollars. So it doesn't always work.

1,637	4Computers & Internet	Where can I get mozillan firefox and is it better than netscape?	I seen question asking if it was better than internet explorer and wondered exactly what it was and where to get it.	Mozilla Firefox is a free, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers.[1] The browser began as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird mail and news client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.\n\nBefore its 1.0 release, Firefox had already gained acclaim from numerous media outlets, including Forbes[2] and the Wall Street Journal.[3] With over 25 million downloads in the 99 days after the initial 1.0 release, Firefox became one of the most downloaded free and open source applications, especially among home users.[4] On October 19, 2005, Firefox had its 100 millionth download, just 344 days after the release of version 1.0.[5] Firefox 1.5 was released on November 29, 2005, on the redesigned Mozilla Corporation website, with more than 2 million downloads within the first 36 hours.\n\nFirefox includes an integrated pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, support for open standards, and an extension mechanism for adding functionality. Although other browsers have introduced these features, Firefox became the first such browser to achieve wide adoption.\n\nFirefox has attracted attention as an alternative to other browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. As of November 2005, estimates suggest that Firefox's usage share is around 9.4% of overall browser usage (See market adoption), with its highest usage in Finland (about 30%). Since its release, Firefox has contributed to a reduction in Internet Explorer's dominant usage share.\n\nYou can download it at:\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

1,639	5Sports	Which is better collegiate or professional?		If you ask me in terms of running, I would definitely say professional. In that same line, I would suggest reading the book "Sub 4:00: Alan Webb and the Quest for the Fastest Mile." The book does a very good job, I thought, explaning the collegiate system, and its drawback, and makes a comparison at the end with the professional racing and training. \n\nYou can find the book at your public library, beside it's a good book to read.

Or most any other Monday-Friday, 9-5 job field, for that matter...?	Whats a link to your resume. I take a look at it and give ya some tips and direction to go. I have been in IT for 10 years.
1,645	3Education & Reference	Instead of exluding discussions of evolution/creationism/Intelligent Design, why not teach all 3?	Why exclude? Let people make up their own minds. Seems to me if you leave one or two out, it 'authorizes' one view over any other.	There's no reason that all three shouldn't be taught. However, creationism and intelligent design should certainly not be taught in a science class because they're not scientific at all. It's not a question of "making up minds," it's a question of science class.\n\nItelligent design and creationism should and could be taught by parents or at Sunday school or during a religious studies class at school. They're not science, but there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that they're not science does NOT mean that they aren't true.

1,647	1Science & Mathematics	Why don't we snore when we are awake?	Why don't we ever snore while we are awake.	Snoring is when your soft palate is so relaxed it falls down your throat when you breathe. If you're awake, you expend the minor effort to keep it up--just the same way you don't fall down in a limp mass when you're awake, but would if suddenly shoved out of bed in your sleep.

1,649	6Business & Finance	Why does Yahoo shut down Yahoo groups without warning or explanation to the group owners?	It would seem to me that if there is a violation being practiced that Yahoo would give the group owner a warning/reason and allow the group owner a chance to straighten it out before closing a Yahoo group down on them. With out a rhyme or reason how can a group owner know how to not get shut down. Yes you have\nrules and guidelines but frankly they are so long and\nextensive (which I understand) that I can see where a \nrule or understanding of a rule could be misunderstood\nor overlooked.\nThank you very much\nHootyTuts	Sorry, but if you want to use web services, it is your obligation to understand and obey all the rules stated in the terms of service. I have found most of them pretty easy to understand if you just take the time to read them, which can be very important to do.

It took my girlfriend about 3 to 4 months before she began to see any movement again on the left side of her face. It is a year later now and she has a lot more movement. Most of her problem now is from muscle mass loss due to lack of use. If your doctor offers you any kind of speech therapy you should do it.\nBest of luck to you and I hope you get better soon.

1,659	1Science & Mathematics	Natural gas composition?	There was a gas leak in the building at work today. The plumber, gas company, and other people said that the gas is denser than the air, so it sinks. I accept that fact, I know there are dangers of using propane heaters in a duck boat because the gas can settle in the bottom of the boat.\n\nBut when I was in 8th grade, we did a science experiment. We filled up drycleaning bags with the natural gas that comes from the spigots of each lab table (for the bunsen burners). Then we put in a SASE in each bag, taped them shut, and released them outside. All the bags floated off. They were made of transparent plastic. That implies the gas is lighter than air.\n\nSo why are there warning about the natural gas settling in a basement or other low areas? I natural gas composed of methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc but in diminishing percentages?	Usually the composition f natural gas is as follows:\nComponent Typical Analysis(mole %) Range(mole %)\nMethane 94.9 87.0 - 96.0\nEthane 2.5 1.8 - 5.1\nPropane 0.2 0.1 - 1.5 \niso - Butane 0.03 0.01 - 0.3\nnormal - Butane 0.03 0.01 - 0.3\niso - Pentane 0.01 trace - 0.14\nnormal - Pentane 0.01 trace - 0.04\nHexanes plus 0.01 trace - 0.06\nNitrogen 1.6 1.3 - 5.6\nCarbon Dioxide 0.7 0.1 - 1.0\nOxygen 0.02 0.01 - 0.1\nHydrogen trace trace - 0.02\n \nSpecific Gravity 0.585 0.57 - 0.62\nGHV(MJ/m3), dry* 37.8 36.0 - 40.2
1,660	6Business & Finance	What is the meaning of corporate training?		Training targets behavior directly, and might indirectly influence thought processes. This typically calls for more than a lecture format. Training might start by specifying steps needed to accomplish a particular task, but more than this is needed to assure that certain skills or procedures are learned. Participants in a training course should practice the desired behavior and receive pertinent feedback to support what's right and correct what's wrong. If feedback is given genuinely in a trusting and caring atmosphere, behavior might not only be directly improved, but one's thinking or attitude associated with the behavior might be positive. \n\nConversely, education focuses on trying to influence participants' cognitive or thinking processes. This kind of education might increase profound knowledge or critical thinking skills, and this could lead to behavior change. If so, I will have "thought a person into behaving differently." In other words, education targets thought processes directly, and might indirectly influence what people do.

1,664	4Computers & Internet	How to be among the first results on a search engine?	I heard it helps to have the right keywords on the head of the html code as "meta names"... anyone can help me further?	Allow me to answer this question because I AM on the top #1 spot in three different categories (first names, nursery rhymes, blonde jokes).\n\nCONTENT -- \nFirst and foremost, the content you have on your site is the most important and most crucial thing over anyting else that you can do to your site. What I advise my clients to do is to actually THINK like a search engine or if that is too abstract, think like someone who speaks a different language. \n\nAlthough search engines are getting much better at figuring out exactly what it is that is on the page, remember it is often impossible for them to decipher Java, Javascript, Flash, and other non-HTML components. This is NOT to say don't use them, just use them when they are to be used appropriately.\n\nBecause search engines ARE getting better at figuring out what is on a page, spelling and grammar are also very important. The rule of thumb is no more than three misspellings and no more than three gramatical errors on a page. Sentences should be of short to medium length and paragraphs should also be rather short.\n\nDO NOT COPY OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. The search engines can penalize a site heavily for plagiarism.\n\nTAGS\n\nTitle Tags -- The most important of all tags is the Title tag. This is what shows up on the bars on the bottom of your computer screen. Most people make the mistake of putting their company name in the Title Tag and that is the worst thing to do (other than putting no tag at all). A Title Tag should be short and to the point and tell what the page is about and if you want to add your company name then add it at the END of the title tag not at the beginning.\n\nMeta Tags -- Meta tags were how search engines would know what was on a page... many years ago. However, with that said it is important that Meta tags are still added to your site and more importantly there are new meta tags (more than just description and keywords) that should be added to the web site such as content type and content language.\n\nMeta Description -- Meta description should start out with the SAME thing your TITLE tag says and then go into more detail. \n\nMeta Keywords -- Meta keywords are words used to describe what is in your page. First use keywords that are in the title and the description first. Then use keywords that are in the content of the page. DO NOT try to spam the search engines by using keywords that are not relevant to your content.\n\nAlt Tags -- With the advent of XHTML, ALT tags for images are now REQUIRED. The Alt tag is used for people who have their images turned off so it is important to have in the alt tag exactly what the image is but also expand on what it is. An example would be a HOME button. Instead of just having HOME as the Alt Tag, use Home -- Site Name.com. \n\nI have noticed that search engines love geography and it is good to put that in there whenever appropriate. If your company is in Kansas City, MO then put those in the Content and in the Tags.\n\nLINKS\n\nHaving links that send people to sites relevant to your site is always a good practice. People ask me where I get links and how do I get people to link to my site. The answer is very simple. First I ask. I write e-mails (NOT SPAM) to sites asking if they wish to reciprocate links with me and I also have on some of my pages a "Link to this Page" button so that web site owners can do it on their own.\n\nThere is great debate as to whether links to other sites that are not of the same category help, hurt, or are indifferent. From my ten years experience I have found that appropriate links DO NOT hurt your web site and could very well help in some instances.\n\nPRIVACY POLICY\n\nI won't go into much detail here but make sure you have one. So many people forget this and it is extremely important. You will NOT find a major web page that does not have a Privacy Policy attached to it.\n\nTRAFFIC\n\nObviously the more traffic you have coming to your web site the better. Not only ar

In these reactions, rest mass is not conserved, although (as in any other reaction) energy (E=mc²) is conserved.

1,689	1Science & Mathematics	why sometimes a white foggy line or trail made behind the airplane in the sky.?		Contrails are caused by water in the exhaust of jet engines and then freezing in the upper atmosphere. It's basically the same thing as a cirrus cloud. High performance airplanes can make white trails off their wingtips or on top of their wings which is caused by low pressure which in turn reduces the amount of water that is naturally in the air that the air can hold and it forms a cloud. An interesting side note is that long contrails = high relative humidity, short contrails = low realitve humidity.

The only tricky part is if you call someone on their cell phone...although in Argentina they may tell you that their cell phone number begins with 154, when you call from the US, this 15 disappears and should be dialed as 011-54911- and then the 8 digit number.

What causes bad breath and how do you get rid of it?

The clinical term for bad breath is halitosis. Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists.\n\nIt is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. To alleviate the odor, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, a plastic tool that scrapes away bacteria that builds on the tongue. Chewing sugar-free gum also may help control the odor. If you have dentures or a removable appliance, such as a retainer or mouthguard, clean the appliance thoroughly before placing it back in your mouth. Before you use mouth rinses, deodorizing sprays or tablets, talk with your dentist because these products only mask the odor temporarily, and some products work better than others.

whats the best way for ME to get a Goverment grant to start a small business?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

9Politics & Government

What are the essential elements of a rule of law in the United States?

One purpose if the limitations impoosed by the american constitutional government is to check the power of the majority. How can this be justified in a political system that is based on popular sovereignty?

The justification for checking the majority rests in the fact that the majority can not use their power to control a minority. The saying majority rules/minority rights is a good example. The majority is in charge but they can not use their power to stomp out a minority or take away minority rights. Also, the fouding fathers wanted to include this so that a dictatorship/kingship couldn't take form. By limiting the majority it limits their ability to take control in such a way.

DSL vs. broadband?

What is the difference? Is there a difference?

DSL is a type of broadband connection. It stands for Digital Subscriber Line, and is offered by traditional phone companies (wired, not wireless). The signal travels thru phone lines and into your home or business. A modem is connected to it so it can translate the signal into ditigal data and then is usually output via Ethernet. Its main competitor (at least in homes)is Cable broadband. The difference between the two is that cable generally provides faster bandwith (download/upload speed), but is less secure than DSL, which provides each user with a unique IP (Internet Protocol)address. Most cable internet home subscribers are connected to a router with up to 255 other subscribers, making attacks and intrusions much more likely.

what is "intrisic value"?

Intrinsic value is the value of a thing (or person) based on its internal value. It is the value per se. The thing has value in and of itself. The value is inherent (naturally in) the thing.\n\nA forest has value for timber, mineral rights, tourism dollars; a shortcut to Grandmas house… but it also is a beautiful thing, perhaps a national treasure. The forest also has intrinsic value.\n\nThen there are also the answers cited. Like Nike, the Swoosh is part of Nike’s intrinsic value. If they sold off the swoosh, the intrinsic value of Nike would go down.

how do i find my soul mate?

First of all, to draw the kind of person you want, you must be the kind of person your soul mate would want. Become secure in what type of person you are and what you want, so when the person comes along you will recognize them. Hang out in the kind of places your soul mate might be---meetings or clubs having to do with your hobbies or work, places of religion if you are religious, online dating sites, etc. Ultimately, I believe it comes down to who you are and what you project about yourself. Don't put on a front, be your true self, and eventually you and your soul mate will find each other. I followed what I've written here and it worked for me. My husband and I are truly soul mates and have been married a little over three years now. (Incidently, we met on the internet.:)) The poem "Waiting", in the link below, was my motto during the years I was seeking my soul mate.

why don't president Bush do something effective to keep illegal aliens out of the country?

I believe that like it or not nothing effective will ever be done and for this reason... illegal aliens usually come here to make money and create a better life for themselves. With the knowledge that they are illegal they are very willing to take jobs that pay under the minimum wage in order to even have a job. since this is illegal there is no way to get help on raising thier pay so they are stuck. This situation is appealing to the owners of agriculture because they can pay them very little for very hard labor increasing their profits. this in turn helps our economy as well as filling jobs that most americans do not want. So bush probably doesnt feel the need to address this problem.

Where can I get mozillan firefox and is it better than netscape?

I seen question asking if it was better than internet explorer and wondered exactly what it was and where to get it.

Mozilla Firefox is a free, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers.[1] The browser began as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird mail and news client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.\n\nBefore its 1.0 release, Firefox had already gained acclaim from numerous media outlets, including Forbes[2] and the Wall Street Journal.[3] With over 25 million downloads in the 99 days after the initial 1.0 release, Firefox became one of the most downloaded free and open source applications, especially among home users.[4] On October 19, 2005, Firefox had its 100 millionth download, just 344 days after the release of version 1.0.[5] Firefox 1.5 was released on November 29, 2005, on the redesigned Mozilla Corporation website, with more than 2 million downloads within the first 36 hours.\n\nFirefox includes an integrated pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, support for open standards, and an extension mechanism for adding functionality. Although other browsers have introduced these features, Firefox became the first such browser to achieve wide adoption.\n\nFirefox has attracted attention as an alternative to other browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. As of November 2005, estimates suggest that Firefox's usage share is around 9.4% of overall browser usage (See market adoption), with its highest usage in Finland (about 30%). Since its release, Firefox has contributed to a reduction in Internet Explorer's dominant usage share.\n\nYou can download it at:\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Instead of exluding discussions of evolution/creationism/Intelligent Design, why not teach all 3?

Why exclude? Let people make up their own minds. Seems to me if you leave one or two out, it 'authorizes' one view over any other.

There's no reason that all three shouldn't be taught. However, creationism and intelligent design should certainly not be taught in a science class because they're not scientific at all. It's not a question of "making up minds," it's a question of science class.\n\nItelligent design and creationism should and could be taught by parents or at Sunday school or during a religious studies class at school. They're not science, but there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that they're not science does NOT mean that they aren't true.

Natural gas composition?

There was a gas leak in the building at work today. The plumber, gas company, and other people said that the gas is denser than the air, so it sinks. I accept that fact, I know there are dangers of using propane heaters in a duck boat because the gas can settle in the bottom of the boat.\n\nBut when I was in 8th grade, we did a science experiment. We filled up drycleaning bags with the natural gas that comes from the spigots of each lab table (for the bunsen burners). Then we put in a SASE in each bag, taped them shut, and released them outside. All the bags floated off. They were made of transparent plastic. That implies the gas is lighter than air.\n\nSo why are there warning about the natural gas settling in a basement or other low areas? I natural gas composed of methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc but in diminishing percentages?

Usually the composition f natural gas is as follows:\nComponent Typical Analysis(mole %) Range(mole %)\nMethane 94.9 87.0 - 96.0\nEthane 2.5 1.8 - 5.1\nPropane 0.2 0.1 - 1.5 \niso - Butane 0.03 0.01 - 0.3\nnormal - Butane 0.03 0.01 - 0.3\niso - Pentane 0.01 trace - 0.14\nnormal - Pentane 0.01 trace - 0.04\nHexanes plus 0.01 trace - 0.06\nNitrogen 1.6 1.3 - 5.6\nCarbon Dioxide 0.7 0.1 - 1.0\nOxygen 0.02 0.01 - 0.1\nHydrogen trace trace - 0.02\n \nSpecific Gravity 0.585 0.57 - 0.62\nGHV(MJ/m3), dry* 37.8 36.0 - 40.2

What is the meaning of corporate training?

Training targets behavior directly, and might indirectly influence thought processes. This typically calls for more than a lecture format. Training might start by specifying steps needed to accomplish a particular task, but more than this is needed to assure that certain skills or procedures are learned. Participants in a training course should practice the desired behavior and receive pertinent feedback to support what's right and correct what's wrong. If feedback is given genuinely in a trusting and caring atmosphere, behavior might not only be directly improved, but one's thinking or attitude associated with the behavior might be positive. \n\nConversely, education focuses on trying to influence participants' cognitive or thinking processes. This kind of education might increase profound knowledge or critical thinking skills, and this could lead to behavior change. If so, I will have "thought a person into behaving differently." In other words, education targets thought processes directly, and might indirectly influence what people do.

How to be among the first results on a search engine?

I heard it helps to have the right keywords on the head of the html code as "meta names"... anyone can help me further?

Allow me to answer this question because I AM on the top #1 spot in three different categories (first names, nursery rhymes, blonde jokes).\n\nCONTENT -- \nFirst and foremost, the content you have on your site is the most important and most crucial thing over anyting else that you can do to your site. What I advise my clients to do is to actually THINK like a search engine or if that is too abstract, think like someone who speaks a different language. \n\nAlthough search engines are getting much better at figuring out exactly what it is that is on the page, remember it is often impossible for them to decipher Java, Javascript, Flash, and other non-HTML components. This is NOT to say don't use them, just use them when they are to be used appropriately.\n\nBecause search engines ARE getting better at figuring out what is on a page, spelling and grammar are also very important. The rule of thumb is no more than three misspellings and no more than three gramatical errors on a page. Sentences should be of short to medium length and paragraphs should also be rather short.\n\nDO NOT COPY OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. The search engines can penalize a site heavily for plagiarism.\n\nTAGS\n\nTitle Tags -- The most important of all tags is the Title tag. This is what shows up on the bars on the bottom of your computer screen. Most people make the mistake of putting their company name in the Title Tag and that is the worst thing to do (other than putting no tag at all). A Title Tag should be short and to the point and tell what the page is about and if you want to add your company name then add it at the END of the title tag not at the beginning.\n\nMeta Tags -- Meta tags were how search engines would know what was on a page... many years ago. However, with that said it is important that Meta tags are still added to your site and more importantly there are new meta tags (more than just description and keywords) that should be added to the web site such as content type and content language.\n\nMeta Description -- Meta description should start out with the SAME thing your TITLE tag says and then go into more detail. \n\nMeta Keywords -- Meta keywords are words used to describe what is in your page. First use keywords that are in the title and the description first. Then use keywords that are in the content of the page. DO NOT try to spam the search engines by using keywords that are not relevant to your content.\n\nAlt Tags -- With the advent of XHTML, ALT tags for images are now REQUIRED. The Alt tag is used for people who have their images turned off so it is important to have in the alt tag exactly what the image is but also expand on what it is. An example would be a HOME button. Instead of just having HOME as the Alt Tag, use Home -- Site Name.com. \n\nI have noticed that search engines love geography and it is good to put that in there whenever appropriate. If your company is in Kansas City, MO then put those in the Content and in the Tags.\n\nLINKS\n\nHaving links that send people to sites relevant to your site is always a good practice. People ask me where I get links and how do I get people to link to my site. The answer is very simple. First I ask. I write e-mails (NOT SPAM) to sites asking if they wish to reciprocate links with me and I also have on some of my pages a "Link to this Page" button so that web site owners can do it on their own.\n\nThere is great debate as to whether links to other sites that are not of the same category help, hurt, or are indifferent. From my ten years experience I have found that appropriate links DO NOT hurt your web site and could very well help in some instances.\n\nPRIVACY POLICY\n\nI won't go into much detail here but make sure you have one. So many people forget this and it is extremely important. You will NOT find a major web page that does not have a Privacy Policy attached to it.\n\nTRAFFIC\n\nObviously the more traffic you have coming to your web site the better. Not only ar

what rock band has performed before the most paid attendees during its career?

Actually if it's througout the career (as a total) I ould think of U2 as the last 4 tours were seen by over 4 million people alone not to mention previous tours and special events (superbowl, etc). Shows sometimes were up to 100000 people. That may not be the single biggest event but overall, I am pretty sure U2 would be up there!

what is anti matter?

no detail

Antimatter or contra-terrene matter is matter that is composed of the antiparticles of those that constitute normal matter. If a particle and its antiparticle come in contact with each other, the two annihilate and produce a burst of energy, which results in the production of other particles and antiparticles or electromagnetic radiation. In these reactions, rest mass is not conserved, although (as in any other reaction) energy (E=mc²) is conserved.

The printer is almost certainly compatible with your computer, assuming you have a parallel and/or USB port to which it will connect. You may also need the printer's driver software in case your version of Windows doesn't automatically set it up. Here's a link to Lexmark's driver download page for the printer you mentioned:

Can any one know about Microsoft Excel ?

I want to protect my XL file from others delete it.I know that i can protect by editing and see from others.but i dont know how to protect ot by delete from others?

Best thing you can do is set permissions on the XLS file itself by right clicking it and going to Properties and select the Security Tab (assuming you have XP).\n\nNow you will see a few permissions listed, you can set specific permissions on the file so it can only be read and not deleted or written to etc. Or if you want remove any that says 'Everyone' and only leave yourself on the list, that why only you can open it.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nCheers!

why sometimes a white foggy line or trail made behind the airplane in the sky.?

Contrails are caused by water in the exhaust of jet engines and then freezing in the upper atmosphere. It's basically the same thing as a cirrus cloud. High performance airplanes can make white trails off their wingtips or on top of their wings which is caused by low pressure which in turn reduces the amount of water that is naturally in the air that the air can hold and it forms a cloud. An interesting side note is that long contrails = high relative humidity, short contrails = low realitve humidity.

how can i design electronic products?

Learn about electronics. Don't take many short cuts.\n\nThen go to college and learn electrical engineering. That is the easiest way due to the resources it takes to learn it. You will learn about software, circuits, materials (this is very important), design, and all the other things that go along with it. You will also be able to try things out in a lab enviornment where a lot of the good learning can happen. I am an electrical engineer who has gotten to do the design. If your interested then go for it.

Does insulated or uninsulated wire work best for electromagnets?

you must use insulated wire or you will effectivly just short out your power source. most modern electro-magnets use wire that is insulated with a thin coating of a special varnish. this allows more winding in a given space. varnish insulated wire is available from nearly any electronics store or catalog or from any business that rewinds electric motors

How can I make a phone call to Argentina?

Besides the local phone number, what are the other numbers I might have to compose to get in contact with someone from Buenos Aires? Also, what is the format of an Argentinian phone number (in Canada it would be ###-####)

If you are calling someone in Buenos Aires and are calling from the US, it would be 011-5411- and then an 8 digit number, most likely beginning with a 4 or a 5. The only tricky part is if you call someone on their cell phone...although in Argentina they may tell you that their cell phone number begins with 154, when you call from the US, this 15 disappears and should be dialed as 011-54911- and then the 8 digit number.

I think it's highly probable. If the stake is high enough, some people will do just about anything to get more points. I just hope Yahoo! has a way to detect and catch these people.
