2,003	1Science & Mathematics	If we all supposeably came from Adam & Eve why is it that there is so many race's? Shouln't we all be the 1 ?		Even if you are a beliver of creationism (god created the Earth) it does not exclude the possibilty that modern races evolved from the two first humans (adam and eve). It is true that certain distiguishing features arise from populations centered in different climate zones. Human populations origionating from northern Europe and Asia have much lighter pigmented skin than those from closer to the equator. However, there are unexplained reasons as to why southeast Asians developed differently from the populations of Africa. Either way all human population origionates in northeastern Africa and the Middle East and fans out from there. As humans began to settle in different corners of the Earth, They became cut off from each other and did not meet until their features were clearly different from one another.
2,004	6Business & Finance	how do you know if someone put a lien on your house.?		First of all, if a lien was place, you should have received something in the mail that indicated such.

2,005	1Science & Mathematics	how if the gravitational force is occuring due to any energy then it may be converted to some energy ?		Gravity attracts an object with mass towards the center of the earth. You must do work, expending your own energy, to overcome gravity and raise a weight. The weight now has potential energy equal to the weight times the distance raised. If you raised a 100 Lb weight one foot, you did 100 ft-Lbs of work on the weight and the weight now has 100ft-Lbs of Potential Energy that can be used to do work, such as lift another weight on the other end of a seesaw. All of the energy discussed derives from the earth's gravitational field which has been converted to mechanical energy. You could perform the same task on the moon except the amount of work and potential energy would be far less because the moon has less gravity. Also a pound weight on earth would weigh far less on the moon and scientists would usually use units of mass which is constant on the moon and earth to perform calculations.

2,009	1Science & Mathematics	How much mass is Earth converting to energy per unit time to generate its gravity?		The previous answer described gravity in the Newtonian sense, but Einstein had a very different explanation. He said that massive objects cause space to warp (like placing a bowling ball on a trampoline). Massive objects are "attracted" to other massive objects because they fall into these gravity wells. Thus, there is no energy conversion, only a tendancy for objects to follow the path of least resistance through space (as when you place a marble on the edge of the trampoline and it "falls" inward toward the bowling ball).
2,010	6Business & Finance	Why are no airlines profitable?	It seems like all the airlines have gone bankrupt at one point or another, and FlyI just announced that they would be selling the company next week. We obviously use the services of the airline, and you certainly pay for the seats, but why does it seem that none of the companies make any money? And if they don't, why would you even start an airline in the first place?	Lots of prestige in owning your own airline.\n\nYou may discover a profitable route that is available for you to service. (Your can run an airline with only one plane and only one route)\n\nOn the other hand,\n\nCrafts are EXTREMELY expensive to run/maintain/service\n\nFuel is extremely EXPENSIVE.\n\nPilots wages are EXTREMEMLY expensive.\n\nPolitics and newspaper headlines can SEVERELY DAMAGE your airline business. eg 9/11. \n\nThe industry is EXTREMELY competitive.\n\n\nMajority of your business is from holiday makers/vaccationers every summer and is NEVER guaranteed.

2,015	4Computers & Internet	How Can I Store Movie Clips In MS SQL Database?	give me code if u can plz	Doing this in SQL server 2000 is a bit too difficult.

2,027	3Education & Reference	how can i find my birth number without any trouble?		Hi...\nThe birth date describes who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing.The birth number is only one puzzle piece in a total numerology reading. The information given here is meant as an introduction to numerology.\n\nDue to repeated requests I have also added the double digit master numbers 11, 22 and 33. I still recommend that you get a full numerology reading to get the total meaning of these numbers in your life. I also want to point out that those who have double digits are always influenced also by the single digit meaning of number.\n\nTo figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the birth date together like in the example until there is only one digit. The Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want, it will just color your choice differently.\nExample: March 20, 1950\n3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

MULCAIR that almost resign because Stephane Dion(under Paul Martin) was not listen to him.
2,035	2Health	i got hit in the face with a truck last week, my tooth is a little loose-doyou think it will fall out or be ok		Was it a toy truck? how could that work out, exactly? If your tooth is a front tooth (Which I'm guessing it is) it isn't as strong as a molar. If it is a permanent tooth, you'd better hope it doesn't fall out.

2,037	8Family & Relationships	what should I do. must see details.?	when me and my ex were together we faught a lot but i think it mainly due to my unwillingness to compromise. but i broke it off. And now here it is 4 months later and i realize that i screwed up and am still deeply in love with her. i waited 2 months to just get another lay she waited a month and is now in another relationship. with somone that she says she loves. but she also says she still loves me. And she torn equally between the two of us. the new guy goes to collage with her every day and is in a position where he can make her life a living hell if they were to break up. this is an excrusiating experiance for me as far as emotions go. i get 1 hour of sleep pre night. Because i stay up thinking about her. i know there is no possible way this guy loves her more than me. but he is more finacially stable and is heading the right direction in life. wich of corse makes it that much harder. plus many other things i don't have room to type. so how can i win her back? Or should i not try?	It kind of depends on what you were not able to compromise on and if you are willing to give it a try her way. As far as try to get her back start doing little things for her. It sounds like you still talk and you must have some idea what kind of things she like. Surprise her make her feel like she is the best part of your life. Good luck...

2,064	4Computers & Internet	How to save arrays in MySQL with PHP?	How would one save an array in MySQL using PHP?	If you are using the native mysql drivers in PHP, then there are no MySQL arrays, you are creating an object that you iterate over. The idea is to iterate over the object's results and put those results into an array. Observe:\n\n<?php\n// Connecting, selecting database\n$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')\n or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());\necho 'Connected successfully';\nmysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');\n\n// Performing SQL query\n$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';\n$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());\n\n// Printing results in HTML\necho "<table>\n";\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {\n echo "\t<tr>\n";\n foreach ($line as $col_value) {\n echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";\n }\n echo "\t</tr>\n";\n}\necho "</table>\n";\n\n// Free resultset\nmysql_free_result($result);\n\n// Closing connection\nmysql_close($link);\n?> \n\nThe line you are looking for is:\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))\n\nBasically, mysql_fetch_array will return an associtive array containing the column name as the key, and the data for that column into $line. Then you can further push that into an array container.\n\nvar $data = array();\n...\n$data[] = $line;\n...\n\nYou cannot otherwise take a mysql result and make it an array, you must iterate over the object.\n\nFYI - I do not reccomend using the native PHP drivers. Using an abstraction library makes your code so much more portable. Using native drivers may make for quick coding, but you loose so much more in the end. \n\nI've included links to Pear::DB, ADODB, and PDO as possible libraries to look at. There are more, these are just examples.\n\nHope that helps.

2,070	5Sports	how do I pick the right size bicycle for my child (45 inches, 4 years old, needs training wheels)?		Take him to your local bike shop and get them to help you pick out a bike. They are interested in getting him a bike that will fit him and are experienced in the industry. Don't buy from WalMart, or Academy, or department stores, where the sales help is usually clueless. The average "department store" bike gets less than 100 miles on it before it hits the dumpster - and for good reason - they aren't fun to ride because the quality is so poor. Even for a kids' bike that you expect him to outgrow in a couple of years can be handed down to a sibling or friend. You'll pay a little more, but the piece of mind knowing that his bike will hold up to the crashes, getting dumped in the yard, jumping curbs is worth it. \n\nYou can get good kids' bikes in some of the main brands - Giant, Trek, Specialized, etc. They will be good quality. (Note, if you are as old as I am, Schwinn was the thing to get when you were a kid - but they are no longer. The name was bought out by a very low end, cheap company (Pacific Mongoose) and the quality has gone way downhill.)\n\nAnd as everyone says: get a helmet & a pump. The tires should be aired at least once a week (they will lose ~10% of their pressure each night).
2,071	4Computers & Internet	what is vitrual memory?after about 20 mins, pc pops up with this message vitrual memory low, what can i do?		Since the main memory (RAM) is expensive, it usually has lesser capacity than the hard drive. However, the problem with that is the RAM gets filled quickly with all your running programs. However, the CPU (processor) multi-tasks, hence it doesnt need the programs (data and instruction words in the RAM) all the time. Thats where the virtual memory comes into picture. Virtual memory is basically part of the drive which is used as a temporary "parking space" for data and instruction words which can't be held in the RAM. When programs are no longer requred they are "swapped" to the hard drive from the RAM and shuttled back to the RAM when the CPU gets ready to process them (depending upon the scheduling algorithm).\n\nYou are getting the error because you have assigned less virtual memory (or the system has assigned less vitual memory). Hence, when the RAM gets full, its doesn't get any "parking space" on the hard drive and you get the error.\n\nIn order to bump up the virtual memory and improve system performance, view the following page. It is really helpful!

In common usage an acid is any substance that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH of less than 7. In general scientific usage an acid is a molecule or ion that is able to give up a proton (H+ ion) to a base, or accept an unshared pair of electrons from a base. An acid reacts with a base in a neutralization reaction to form a salt. \n\nOr an agent able to produce positively charged hydrogen ions (H + ). [Since the hydrogen ion is a bare proton, it usually exists in a solvated form (such as H 3 O + ).]

If we all supposeably came from Adam & Eve why is it that there is so many race's? Shouln't we all be the 1 ?

Even if you are a beliver of creationism (god created the Earth) it does not exclude the possibilty that modern races evolved from the two first humans (adam and eve). It is true that certain distiguishing features arise from populations centered in different climate zones. Human populations origionating from northern Europe and Asia have much lighter pigmented skin than those from closer to the equator. However, there are unexplained reasons as to why southeast Asians developed differently from the populations of Africa. Either way all human population origionates in northeastern Africa and the Middle East and fans out from there. As humans began to settle in different corners of the Earth, They became cut off from each other and did not meet until their features were clearly different from one another.

1Science & Mathematics

how if the gravitational force is occuring due to any energy then it may be converted to some energy ?

Gravity attracts an object with mass towards the center of the earth. You must do work, expending your own energy, to overcome gravity and raise a weight. The weight now has potential energy equal to the weight times the distance raised. If you raised a 100 Lb weight one foot, you did 100 ft-Lbs of work on the weight and the weight now has 100ft-Lbs of Potential Energy that can be used to do work, such as lift another weight on the other end of a seesaw. All of the energy discussed derives from the earth's gravitational field which has been converted to mechanical energy. You could perform the same task on the moon except the amount of work and potential energy would be far less because the moon has less gravity. Also a pound weight on earth would weigh far less on the moon and scientists would usually use units of mass which is constant on the moon and earth to perform calculations.

1Science & Mathematics

How much mass is Earth converting to energy per unit time to generate its gravity?

The previous answer described gravity in the Newtonian sense, but Einstein had a very different explanation. He said that massive objects cause space to warp (like placing a bowling ball on a trampoline). Massive objects are "attracted" to other massive objects because they fall into these gravity wells. Thus, there is no energy conversion, only a tendancy for objects to follow the path of least resistance through space (as when you place a marble on the edge of the trampoline and it "falls" inward toward the bowling ball).

Why are no airlines profitable?

It seems like all the airlines have gone bankrupt at one point or another, and FlyI just announced that they would be selling the company next week. We obviously use the services of the airline, and you certainly pay for the seats, but why does it seem that none of the companies make any money? And if they don't, why would you even start an airline in the first place?

Lots of prestige in owning your own airline.\n\nYou may discover a profitable route that is available for you to service. (Your can run an airline with only one plane and only one route)\n\nOn the other hand,\n\nCrafts are EXTREMELY expensive to run/maintain/service\n\nFuel is extremely EXPENSIVE.\n\nPilots wages are EXTREMEMLY expensive.\n\nPolitics and newspaper headlines can SEVERELY DAMAGE your airline business. eg 9/11. \n\nThe industry is EXTREMELY competitive.\n\n\nMajority of your business is from holiday makers/vaccationers every summer and is NEVER guaranteed.

Hi...\nThe birth date describes who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing.The birth number is only one puzzle piece in a total numerology reading. The information given here is meant as an introduction to numerology.\n\nDue to repeated requests I have also added the double digit master numbers 11, 22 and 33. I still recommend that you get a full numerology reading to get the total meaning of these numbers in your life. I also want to point out that those who have double digits are always influenced also by the single digit meaning of number.\n\nTo figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the birth date together like in the example until there is only one digit. The Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want, it will just color your choice differently.\nExample: March 20, 1950\n3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

And now here it is 4 months later and i realize that i screwed up and am still deeply in love with her. i waited 2 months to just get another lay she waited a month and is now in another relationship. with somone that she says she loves. but she also says she still loves me. And she torn equally between the two of us. the new guy goes to collage with her every day and is in a position where he can make her life a living hell if they were to break up. this is an excrusiating experiance for me as far as emotions go. i get 1 hour of sleep pre night. Because i stay up thinking about her. i know there is no possible way this guy loves her more than me. but he is more finacially stable and is heading the right direction in life. wich of corse makes it that much harder. plus many other things i don't have room to type. so how can i win her back? Or should i not try?

It kind of depends on what you were not able to compromise on and if you are willing to give it a try her way. As far as try to get her back start doing little things for her. It sounds like you still talk and you must have some idea what kind of things she like. Surprise her make her feel like she is the best part of your life. Good luck...

What might be the first step to becoming a gospel recording artist other than making a demo?

I would especially love to sing back-up for a gospel artist.(Karen Clark-Sheard, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Twinkie Clark-Terrell, Jacky Clark-Chisholm,[ANY OF THE CLARK SISTERS],J. Moss, Kierra Sheard, Kirk Franklin, Tonex, Mary Mary, Tye Tribbett & GA, Martha Munizzi,Vanessa Bell-Armstrong, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin...etc.

They gotta know you exist, bro, before they can consider you. Make a killer set of demos and send the CDs to them. Let them know your core beliefs so they know you have a heart for singin' to the Lord.

convert the following please: 55ft/lbs to n/m & 65ft/lbs to n/m & 75ft/lbs to n/m thanks?

Easiest convertor is just Google -- what a great tip someone showed me!\n\nJust go to google and type in\n 55 ft lbs in newton meters\nand up pops the answer:\n 55 (ft lbs) = 74.5699872 newton meters\n\nLikewise\n 65 (ft lbs) = 88.1281666 newton meters\n\nAnd\n 75 (ft lbs) = 101.686346 newton meters\n\nTo give you an idea of what this means, a standard mechanics torque wrench can apply up to 200 newton meters of turning force.

Do you support the idea of a woman president?

Keep in mind, a Republic is suppose to be about the best person for the job, not because they are male, female and etc. This is just a question with the answer based on your own opinion, and if you think that wars will be less with a woman in power, don't forget the Falklands.

Generally ladies are peace loving, accurate, hardworking, determination and concentration on their work...... and godgifted motherly behavioiur. Therefore, I do support the idea of a woman president.

First, all adpaters must support 100Mbps. If they don't you need new ones.\n\nIn case all 4 and the hub/switch also supports 100Mbps, do the following:\n1. Double click your network connection.\n2. Click properties.\n3. Click configure to set your adapters properties.\n4. Click Advanced\n5. Change the link speed to: 100 Mbps Half Duplex.

How to save arrays in MySQL with PHP?

How would one save an array in MySQL using PHP?

If you are using the native mysql drivers in PHP, then there are no MySQL arrays, you are creating an object that you iterate over. The idea is to iterate over the object's results and put those results into an array. Observe:\n\n<?php\n// Connecting, selecting database\n$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')\n or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());\necho 'Connected successfully';\nmysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');\n\n// Performing SQL query\n$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';\n$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());\n\n// Printing results in HTML\necho "<table>\n";\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {\n echo "\t<tr>\n";\n foreach ($line as $col_value) {\n echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";\n }\n echo "\t</tr>\n";\n}\necho "</table>\n";\n\n// Free resultset\nmysql_free_result($result);\n\n// Closing connection\nmysql_close($link);\n?> \n\nThe line you are looking for is:\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))\n\nBasically, mysql_fetch_array will return an associtive array containing the column name as the key, and the data for that column into $line. Then you can further push that into an array container.\n\nvar $data = array();\n...\n$data[] = $line;\n...\n\nYou cannot otherwise take a mysql result and make it an array, you must iterate over the object.\n\nFYI - I do not reccomend using the native PHP drivers. Using an abstraction library makes your code so much more portable. Using native drivers may make for quick coding, but you loose so much more in the end. \n\nI've included links to Pear::DB, ADODB, and PDO as possible libraries to look at. There are more, these are just examples.\n\nHope that helps.

how do I pick the right size bicycle for my child (45 inches, 4 years old, needs training wheels)?

Take him to your local bike shop and get them to help you pick out a bike. They are interested in getting him a bike that will fit him and are experienced in the industry. Don't buy from WalMart, or Academy, or department stores, where the sales help is usually clueless. The average "department store" bike gets less than 100 miles on it before it hits the dumpster - and for good reason - they aren't fun to ride because the quality is so poor. Even for a kids' bike that you expect him to outgrow in a couple of years can be handed down to a sibling or friend. You'll pay a little more, but the piece of mind knowing that his bike will hold up to the crashes, getting dumped in the yard, jumping curbs is worth it. \n\nYou can get good kids' bikes in some of the main brands - Giant, Trek, Specialized, etc. They will be good quality. (Note, if you are as old as I am, Schwinn was the thing to get when you were a kid - but they are no longer. The name was bought out by a very low end, cheap company (Pacific Mongoose) and the quality has gone way downhill.)\n\nAnd as everyone says: get a helmet & a pump. The tires should be aired at least once a week (they will lose ~10% of their pressure *each* night).

what is vitrual memory?after about 20 mins, pc pops up with this message vitrual memory low, what can i do?

Since the main memory (RAM) is expensive, it usually has lesser capacity than the hard drive. However, the problem with that is the RAM gets filled quickly with all your running programs. However, the CPU (processor) multi-tasks, hence it doesnt need the programs (data and instruction words in the RAM) all the time. Thats where the virtual memory comes into picture. Virtual memory is basically part of the drive which is used as a temporary "parking space" for data and instruction words which can't be held in the RAM. When programs are no longer requred they are "swapped" to the hard drive from the RAM and shuttled back to the RAM when the CPU gets ready to process them (depending upon the scheduling algorithm).\n\nYou are getting the error because you have assigned less virtual memory (or the system has assigned less vitual memory). Hence, when the RAM gets full, its doesn't get any "parking space" on the hard drive and you get the error.\n\nIn order to bump up the virtual memory and improve system performance, view the following page. It is really helpful!

what is acid?

An acid (often represented by the generic formula AH) is typically a water-soluble, sour-tasting chemical compound. In common usage an acid is any substance that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH of less than 7. In general scientific usage an acid is a molecule or ion that is able to give up a proton (H+ ion) to a base, or accept an unshared pair of electrons from a base. An acid reacts with a base in a neutralization reaction to form a salt. \n\nOr an agent able to produce positively charged hydrogen ions (H + ). [Since the hydrogen ion is a bare proton, it usually exists in a solvated form (such as H 3 O + ).]

What is the difference between a savings account and a money market account?

Money Market accounts typically offer a much higher rate of return than savings accounts. They invest in super safe securities such as short term bonds and t-bills. They are completely liquid (you can make withdraws whenever). I highly recommend opening a money market account simply because you earn 2% or 3% more than a savings account. They also adjust to the current interest rate much faster than savings accounts which typically move like molasses on a winter day.
