what does the morning after pill do?
|
i just want to know what happens when u tak the morning after pill because me and my girl had unprotected sex and then we went to the youth health center so she took the pill and she said that she menstruated again after she had her period again so im just curious does this mean that she is pregnant
|
The morning after pill basically forces the woman to have a period, thereby alleviating virtually any possibility of being pregnant. In nearly any case, you will not remain pregnant if you have your period, most especially if it was that early after conception.

who is Pele?
|
PELE - Edson Arantes do Nascimento!\n\n- Born: 23 October, 1940 in Tres Coracoes, Brazil.\n- International Caps: 92.\n- International Goals: 77.\n- Teams: Santos, New York Cosmos.\n- Team Honours: World Cup (1958, 62, 70)World Club Championship (1962, 63)Sao Paulo State Championship (1956, 58, 60, 61, 62, 64, 56, 67, 68).\n- Individual Honours: South American Player of the Year (1973)\n\n "I was born for soccer, just as Beethoven was born for music." Arrogant, pompous words. Except when they are spoken by Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the Brazilian genius known throughout the football world as Pele.\n\nA veteran of four World Cups, scorer of 1,283 first-class goals - 12 of them in World Cup final tournaments - a member of those magical Brazilian squads that won soccer's greatest prize in 1958, 1962 and 1970.\n\nBut just as a collection of notes do not make a Beethoven symphony, statistics cannot capture the majesty of those glorious Brazilian sides. This was football played to a samba beat. Beautiful skills, astonishing speed and ball control - and of all those great players in the yellow and green shirts, Pele was the greatest of them all.\n\nHe was lithe, agile, strong and seemed to be able to make the ball do as he pleased. Blessed with a stunning shot and an ability to soar above defences, he was expected to perform some astonishing feat of trickery every time he was in possession.\n\nAnd Brazil played such adventurous football, always attacking, constantly looking to score. Who can forget the rythmic chanting of their deliriously happy supporters? "Bra-zil, cha cha cha, Bra-zil, cha cha cha."\n\nIt was the 1962 World Cup in Chile when those chants were heard for the first time in Europe on TV and British fans were quick to copy. First club names were shouted out, followed by a burst of clapping. Soon the strains of "ee-ay-addeo" echoed round Football League grounds.\n\nThree decades on, the chants may be different. But it was the Brazil of Pele which gave them to the world.\n\nPele was born in the poor district of Tres Coracoes in 1940. His father, known as Dondhino, was a footballer too, but an undistinguished one.\n\nPele was in love with football from the time he learned to kick a ball. But his mother was not so keen. Dondhino earned little money from the game and she wanted something better for her son. Had she got her way, football would have been denied one of its greatest talents.\n\nPele's precocious skill came to the attention of de Brito, a former Brazilian international who began to coach him. In 1954, aged 14, he joined Bauru Athletic Club juniors in Sao Paulo. At 16, despite a knee injury which was to trouble him throughout his career, he moved to Santos where he remained until 1974.\n\nTogether, Pele and Santos were to become legends, touring Europe and playing friendly matches. One of the British sides to entertain them was Sheffield Wednesday. As late as 1972, Pele turned out in his club's famous all-white strip to play one half in a goodwill visit to Hillsborough.\n\nIt was the World Cup of 1958 in Sweden which was to create the stage for Pele's genius. He was 17 and had won his first cap the previous year. He arrived in Sweden with an injury and was held back until Brazil's third and final group match against the Soviet Union in Gothenburg.\n\nBrazil won 2-0, Pele hit the post, laid on the second goal for Vava and a star had been born. The quarter-final was against Wales. Brazil only won 1-0. The scorer was Pele, his shot deflecting off Stuart Williams. It was his first World Cup goal - and he was to score six in a sequence of three games by the time the final was over.\n\nA hat-trick against France in the semi-final was followed by two goals against Sweden in the final. One of them, a breathtaking effort, was described by the football authority Brian Glanville in his book, The Story of the World Cup.\n\n"Catching a high ball in the thick of the pen

do think that SAT is a good measurement for how smart you are and how likely you are to succeed?
|
if not, then what is a good test?
|
I would say that SAT is a poor measure of "how smart you are", it really isn't a intelligence test.\n\nThe SAT does have a rather good record of predicting college success, but it doesn't tell the whole story. It also use to have some major cultural biases which causes white men to score better, although it is claimed that has largly been fixed. Also much of college success is about time managment. If you work hard, you should do just fine.

Hi fellas, can anyone tell me what is the future of Medical Imagistics vs. Surgery.Which one has more future?
|
For the past few years the both medical domains have recorded a high rate of development. With the introducing of CT scan the imagistics have broaden their area of diagnosis,from discovering small cerebral infarcts, to mediastinal tumours.\nAlso, the new surgiacal technics of plastic surgery have opened a new page in the domain of reconstructing and redefining human fisionomy.\nSo, my question needs an answer: which branch of medicine should I choose? Thank you.
|
experience has shown me that if you pick based upon money you will be unhappy in the future. \n\nyou will find a job, no matter what you do. question is what you like.\n\nif you really want to pick taking everything into consideration - future employment, tolerability over time, pay - pick medical imaging - particularly interventional radiology.\n\ngood luck.

How to get internet without telephone connection,[with the help of dish] Inform the requirements.?
|
Cable, Wireless if there's a company in your area, or satellite Dish. \n\nDirecway is the most popular right now, it's not part of Directv, but it's owned by the same company. It uses a larger dish than the TV and has a microwave transmitter so it needs to be out of reach of people. Not dangerous but it has the potential to be. It uses an adapter (modem) that connects to your computer via ethernet cable so you need an ethernet card, and windows 98 or above supports it. There is no longer any software involved so nothing is done to your computer except maybe get rid of old software from DSL or cable that sometimes won't allow it, and disabling the firewall for the computer to pick it up.\n\nThere's also a company called "wild blue". They are new but seem to have a very good product. Roughly the same idea as direcway.\n\nDirecway can be roof mounted, wall mounted only if the dish can be up high enough and facing the satellite in space (there are several), and pole mounted by a professional installer only due to the safety concerns.

What does " no parenting rights" mean.?
|
It is a term generally used in reference to people who take the role of surrogate parent to a child they themselves had no hand in the conception of. It means that even if you are physically caring for a child, circumstances may dictate that any final decisions that affect his/her welfare are to be made by the child's closest living relative, or the state. That is, if a situation arises where your role as guardian is jeopardized or deemed questionable by the state.

Is it right to get sued in a civil case after you've been found not guity in a criminal case?
|
No one enters suit justly, no one goes to court honestly; they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies, they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity. \n\nTherefore justice is far from us…Judgment is turned away backwards, and justice stands afar off; for truth has fallen in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

Why do women live more than men?
|
"Studying people who live 100 years and more leads Harvard researchers to conclude that menopause is a major determinant of the life spans of both women and men.\n\nWomen's life span depends on the balance of two forces, according to Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Harvard Medical School. One is the evolutionary drive to pass on her genes, the other is the need to stay healthy enough to rear as many children as possible. "Menopause draws the line between the two," Perls says. It protects older women from the risks of bearing children late in life, and lets them live long enough to take care of their children and grandchildren."\n\nRead more at the source link.

Best Bond?
|
Who was the best Bond? Why?\n\nSean Connery?\nGeorge Lazenby?\nRoger Moore?\nTimothy Dalton?\nPierce Brosnan?
|
I knew this would come up sooner or later. The best, the original Bond, Sean Connery. No good reasons but all the other Bonds are second to him.\n\nBut I do like the Bond movies with Pierce Brosnan in them because of the better special effects and the comical relationship he had with "Q". Timothy Dalton was also a pretty good Bond and he had a resemblance to Pierce Brosnan.\n\nLazenby, now he was probably the worst Bond ever, he was in what, one Bond movie and it's the one I hate most.\n\nBut Sean Connery was in a stinker Bond also, the one where he plays that holographic game called "Domination" or something like that, I can't remember the name of it but I think it is one of the worst Bond films ever.

Does Guaifenesin therapy work for IBS? If so, where can I buy over-the-counter strength tablets?
|
Guaifenesin (guai for short) is an expectorant medication that helps thin and loosen mucus in the lungs, and is found in most over-the-counter cold medicines. I have read that guai can help treat IBS, but that it (Guaifenesin) must be used in pure form either with prescription tablets, or over-the-counter strength tablets or powder. Anybody have any experience using this to help with their IBS?
|
Since you are asking for a personal experience with this drug, I cannot be of any help. And there are very few people who were treated with guaifenesin for IBS cause its still an anecdotal treatment but you might wanna grab a book called The Guaifenesin Guide: For Treating Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Paperback) written by Gregory K. Penniston.

You could be experiencing interference from other appliances that transmit at 2.4 ghz (cordless telephone?) Or, you might need to lower your packet rate.

What are the rules regarding dating your ex's best friend?

In my opinion you have to look at a few different things. Are you a nice person or not. If not then you have no rules. If you are a nice person then read on. \n1. Are you and you your ex still friends? if you are you might want to ask if they would mind. otherwise you might upset them and lose a friendship.\n\n2. make sure the bestfriend wouldn't have a problem with it(obviously).\n\n3. Make sure you don't have any feelings left for your ex. Cause if you do it could cause problems.\n\n4.Usually the best thing to do is just not go out with the bestfriend. in all cases I've seen it usually ends in 3 lost friendships.

Scientific evidence strongly suggests that to maintain emotional and physical health we have to know how to relate to each other in a caring way. The undeniable evidence is that anger, anxiety and depression, on one hand, and love and intimacy on the other, affect health and recovery from illness. This findings have been elaborated by Dean Ornish MD in Love and Survival. The Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy. (1997) He writes: \n\n“…love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well... I am not aware of any factor in medicine -- not diet, not smoking, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery—that has greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death from all causes.” \n\nYet, caring (love to be blunt,) which is presumed to be based on a mammalian instinct, strongly allied with survival is fraught with difficulties and is becoming increasingly difficult to exercise in our culture. Hoping to counteract these trends, I endeavor to teach people the simple, basic transactions that constitute the loving experience. This practice is based on three concepts: Strokes, The Stroke Economy and Opening the Heart. \n\nPuzzled by the difficulties that people have when exchanging strokes I came upon Wilhelm Reich’s concept of the "sex economy," which he defined as the intentional squelching of sexual exchanges among German youth for the purpose of promoting conformity. I saw a similar inhibiting trend in our culture, applied to simple affection and love, and called it the "stroke economy."\n\nThe stroke economy creates a scarcity of love and affection by imposing a set of rules that govern the exchange of strokes. \n\nThe rules of the stroke economy are:\n\nDon’t give strokes you would like to give.\n\nDon’t ask for strokes you would like to get. \n\nDon’t accept strokes you would like to accept.\n\nDon’t reject strokes you don’t want.\n\nDon’t give yourself strokes.\n\nThese rules are enforced internally and externally. Internally, by what we, in transactional analysis, call the inner Critical Parent. The Critical Parent is an ego state and as such it represents a network of ideas, acquired in childhood which deeply affect love of ourselves and others. These ideas can be seen as ingrained neural networks; "limbic attractors" that shape every emotional experience according to an archaic blueprint.\n\nWhile loving patterns are set in childhood, later relationships in which the person establishes a limbic resonance with another are capable of restructuring the original design. Lewis et al conclude that permanent beneficial restructuring of a persons deeply ingrained limbic brain patterns is possible through long-term individual psychotherapy with a therapist who, for all intents and purposes, needs to be a paragon of limbic virtue.

What is the definition of "sleet?"?
|
As opposed to hail.
|
Here's more than you probably ever wanted to know about sleet.\nDefinitions of sleet on the Web:\n\n * precipitate as a mixture of rain and snow; "If the temperature rises above freezing, it will probably sleet"\n * partially melted snow (or a mixture of rain and snow)\n wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\n * Whereas hail forms within clouds, sleet begins as snow falling to earth after having left its originating cloud. The snow partially melts on its trip down in a layer of warm air but then refreezes into ice crystals that appear much like hail.\n en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleet\n\n * Depending on the region, precipitation of rain or snow mixed, or rain and hail, or rain and ice pellets, or melting snow, or sudden and brief rainfall with wind and hail.\n www.palmbeachdailynews.com/weather/content/shared/weather/weather_glossary.html\n\n * Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes roads to freeze and become slippery.\n weathereye.kgan.com/cadet/disaster/glossary.html\n\n * A type of frozen precipitation, consisting of small transparent pellets.\n ggweather.com/glossary.htm\n\n * Frozen or partly frozen rain.\n www.telemet.com/weather_gloss_s.htm\n\n * Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice, 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Also called ice pellets. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the surface and melts and then enters a deep layer of sub freezing air on the surface and refreezes.\n www.weca.org/nws-terms.html\n\n * Describes solid grains of ice formed by the freezing of raindrops or the refreezing of largely melted snowflakes. These grains usually bounce upon impact with the ground or pavement. Heavy sleet is a relatively rare event defined as an accumulation of ice pellets covering the ground to a depth of 1/2" or more. See Ice Pellets.\n www.srh.weather.gov/srh/jetstream/append/glossary_s.htm\n\n * also called ice pellets. Sleet is formed when raindrops or melted snowflakes freeze as they pass through a below-freezing layer of air near the earth's surface. Sleet does not normally stick to trees and wires, and usually bounces on hitting the ground. An accumulation of sleet often has the consistency of dry sand.\n www.sws.uiuc.edu/atmos/statecli/Winter/glossary.htm\n\n * Frozen or partially frozen rain that form when rain passes through a layer of air that is below the freezing temperature, falls to earth as a slush. Freshwater.\n www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/antarctica_glossary_of_terms2.htm\n\n * a form of precipitation in which droplets are partially frozen as water-ice (or water-snow) mixture.\n www.naturalhazards.org/glossary/\n\n * in the US, a term used to describe tiny ice pellets that are formed when rain or partially melted snowflakes refreeze before reaching the ground. Colloquial usage of the term coincides with British usage, which defines sleet as a mixture of rain and snow.\n www.pnl.gov/atmos_sciences/Cdw/Glossary.html\n\n * Frozen precipitation that results when rain drops freeze while falling, before hitting the ground. This occurs when rain falls through a layer of colder air underlying a layer of warmer air. See Temperature Inversion.\n wilstar.com/skywatch_glossary.htm\n\n * 1. See ice pellets. 2. In British terminology, and colloquially in some parts of the United States, precipitation in the form of a mixture of rain and snow.\n amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse\n\n * Sleet is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. Ice pellets occur when snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. The raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth.\n www.weather.com/encyclopedia/winter/precip.html\n\n * precipitation which is a mixture of rain and ice.\n www.tex

Please find for me the force acted upon by an infinite conducting plane on a dipole.?
|
A point dipole with dipole moment "p" is located at a distance "l" from an infinite conducting plane.Find the modulus of the vector of electric interaction force acting on the dipole if the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the plane.Please help me here along with the concepts applied here.
|
I'm assuming this is an electric dipole.\n\nSince a dipole can be modeled as a pair of opposite charges +_q separated by a small displacement, you can use the method of images and assume the field produced by the conductor is the same as the original dipole reflected across the plane with the signs of the charges reversed. That means the image dipole is in the same orientation as the original dipole and is at a distance r = 2I from it. The force is attractive (towards the plane). The energy between two dipoles having the same moment p parallel to their separation vector is:\n\nW = -2p^2/r^3\n\nwhere r is the separation distance. The force between two such real dipoles would be (i.e. this is the force on either one):\n\nF = dW/dr = -6p^2/r^4\n\nThis should be the same force experienced by the one dipole in the field produced by the conducting plane. Since r = 2I, this is:\n\nF = (3/8)p^2/I^4

Do arranged marriages work ? Assume you have the background, social and religious commitment to marriage.?
|
arranged marriage is one in which you marry someone because you think their background and family and personality is really suitable for you and that you have a great chance of loving that person and staying with that person for ever. You need to have sufficient religious and cultural image about the sancity of a marriage and the social support to make it work. you dont spend a lot of time dating, typically less than a year, sometimes a couple of months, you are typically introduced by parents. most often the person you marry is significantly better than one you could meet otherwise, i.e, through normal course of life, but you have either social or cultural or parental preasure to marry or move on to another girl, so you get married. Can two nice people who have the right approach to resolving differences be in love for a lifetime just because they are both have the right background, is it any different if you marry someone by trying it out first ?
|
I have had this convo many times with people of those backgrounds that believe in it. From what I know they actually have a higher sucess rate than the "normal' marriages... I was shocked because my first thought would be that it doesnt work but then I thought about it and it made sense. \n\nReligions that believe in that sort of thing are quite diffrent from americans in there perspetives on morals and etc... so I think their way of living makes them have better odds.. Now if Americans started doing it I think it would fail greatly.

what is the best way to get rid of heart burn?
|
I've had chronic heartburn, and though I'm not a doctor, I'm sharing with you advice my doctor has given me (and what has worked!)\n\n1. For immediate relief, use Maalox. Avoid Pepto Bismol, as it has something that irritates the stomach long term (my gastroenterologist told me that!). For longer term use, use Priolosec.\n\n2. Stop eating at least 3 hours before you get in bed. A reclining position with food in your stomach irritates the esophogus. You would be AMAZED at how much this helps. Soda or alcohol before sleep is the WORST!\n\n3. Limit intake of: Alcohol, Caffience, Carbonated beverages, spicy foods, acidic foods, aspirin (or advil, motrin). Honestly, I can't stick to this one -- but I've been pretty good keeping #1 and #2, and it's kept my heart burn at bay. Be good keeping 1 & 2 and you can cheat on 3 -- at least, that's worked for me.\n\nGood luck!

Why are there so many religons? and how do you know which one is right?
|
The book of Romans in the Christian bible answers this question pretty well. Humans were created with a natural sense that there is a God. But because of their rebellious nature against Him, they are alienated from Him in their hearts, minds, and consciences. So, being spiritually dead, they are blind to the truths about Him. Therefore, their corrupted minds invent false beliefs about Him. How do you know which one is right? It starts in the heart. Like I've said, it is the prideful and rebellious heart of human kind that is the problem. It is not impossible for you to know the truth, in fact it is so easy that it's heartbreaking that most people miss it. The only people who can find the truth are those who sincerly want it. I will give it to you, but I can't make you accept it. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He came to be put to death for your sins. You can't justify yourself before God because you, like all humans, are imperfect. What you can do(indeed the only thing you can do) is humble yourself before God and confess that you are a sinner worthy of death, but that you now believe that Jesus has taken your place and removed your sins and guilt forever, never to be brought up before God again. Ask the Lord Jesus to enter your heart and make it new. Then trust that you are pardoned by God and be at peace with Him. Do this and you will have your "evidence" in your own heart and mind and life.

First let me say I've been there. I ran up huge credit card bills and couldn't pay my rent. My newlywed and I made a choice to move into my parents house and my parents took out a home equity loan that I made the payments for. In hindsight, I should never have done either. Moving into their home was too much stress for my spouse and almost cost me my marriage. Asking for a loan from my folks turned our relatinship from parent / child to king / slave. They were always questioning why we bought items that they thought were unnecessary, etc.\nThe best thing for you is to make a budget. I know, it sounds painful, but this is the way to get your finances under control and you will be able to maintain your pride and integrity. Living within your means will open your eyes and help you to find money that you can use to pay down your debts. If you can get a job at night and / or on weekends, do it. Deliver pizzas, bartend, whatever you can do to make some extra cash.\n\nKeep your chin up. You can do it by yourself.

How do I tell my wife she is seriously overweight and is sexually unappealing to me?

When I married my wife five years ago, she was 5' tall, and about 100 lbs. She was very petite and pretty. I am very attracted to women who are slim and petite. She has since put on about thirty five pounds. She is almost in complete denial about it. For example, she doesn't understand why her jeans don't fit anymore. This woman is intelligent. I don't find her sexually attractive now. She keeps asking me, "Do you think I'm overweight?", "Do you think my stomach is fat?", "Do you think I'm ugly?" How do I say, "Yes, you are so fat that you barely resemble the person I married. I don't want to make love to you because I no longer feel attracted to you." ???
|
Are things or situations putting a lot of stress on your wife? Have you and your wife had any kids yet? Have you gained weight yourself? What things have happened in your lives such as eating habits and changes in lifestyle that might have encouraged this weight gain? \nFor one don't divorce her. Two, hopefully you married her on a higher level beyond her looks even though that also was an attraction you had towards her. Also for her to ask you she is already aware of the fact that she has gained this weight and would probably would like to hear such things like, "We can do it together, take it one step at a time,etc..." Do things with her like eating healthy, and exercising, so she knows she has your support in it. Also, try different sexual positions, be more exotic and make love to her because she wants it not just because you want it. Sex can also be a very exciting and fun way to lose weight. If all this doesn't work and you still don't find her sexually attractive then this is beyond her weight and I would advice you get help.

Who conquered Mt Everest for the first time & When?
|
Mt. Everest was conquored by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, as widely recognized and recorded in history. But, this topic is controvercial.On June 8, 1924, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, both of the United Kingdom, made an attempt on the summit from which they never returned. Noel Odell, the expedition's geologist, wrote in his diary that he "saw M&I on the ridge, nearing base of final pyramid" at 12:50 pm that day. In 1979 climber Wang Hongbao of China revealed to a companion that he had discovered a body in 1975 thought at the time to be Irvine's, but he unfortunately was killed in a fall the very next day before he could provide precise details to anyone else.\n\nIn 1999, however, the famous Mallory and Irvine Research Expedition found instead Mallory's body in the predicted search area near the old Chinese camp. Controversy has raged in the mountaineering community as to whether the duo may have made it to the top of the world, 29 years before the confirmed ascent (and of course, safe descent) of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953.
