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. |

Legally, you can get a lawyer and pursue the status of an emancipated minor, but that takes money and time. Odds are at 17 you haven't got the money, and by the time it was over you'd be 18 and free anyway. \n\nNow, if there is actual abuse going on, get in touch with a local child abuse advocacy group or file a complaint with local law enforcement. |

Is Yiddish a language or a dialect? | Yiddish is a language but is also used in a dialect called "Pennsylvania Dutch". My parents are ex-Amish and I have become very fluent in it. The other languages in this dialect are German, Swiss, Dutch, and English.\n"Pennsylvania Dutch" is called that because when the Dutch came on the earliest ships to America they settled mostly in Penn.

German was the second language. |

what is the difference between an empidemic and a "pandemic"? | Its actually the same. Pan in Latin means all. Pandemic may be attributed for larger areas, usually crossing internation boundaries. So a larger epidemic becomes a pandemic.\n\n"Pandemic - an epidemic occurring over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people. A global epidemic."\n\n"Epidemic - any unusual occurrence of disease, generally first noticed by an unexpected number of cases occurring over a particular amount of time or in a particular place. An outbreak of disease or injury in a defined geographic area over a specific amount of time." |
how many times is go toget upset during a day? | When getting upset is not accomplishing anything and interfering with your ability to function, that's too many times.\n\nYou are probably getting upset because you don't feel like you have the power to change your situation. This will lead to depression.\n\nThe best way to save money is to put a few dollars in a savings account every time you get your check. If you have direct deposit, talk to your bank to find out if they can do this automatically. Another practical solution is to make a diary of what, when and how you are spending your money so that you can see where your weaknesses are. However, overspending can happen because it makes you feel better or in control, so this may be a symptom of depression.\n\nWhen you are depressed, it's hard to feel like people will be interested in you or even like you. This creates a barrier between you and other people.\n\nTherapy would be your best way to handle this - a therapist could guide you in making changes that will improve your life. If you can't afford or get access to a therapist, the next best thing is a book called "Feeling Good: the New Mood Therapy" by David D. Burns |

Should punctuation marks always be inside parantheses? | It depends on how you're using them. I would say that most of the time you would NOT want it in the parantheses.\n\nFor example:\nDo you like the show Crime Scene Investigation (CSI)?\nOne of the most popular TV shows is CSI (don't you love that show?).\n\n\nI'm wondering if you meant to ask about punctuation in quotation marks?? If this is the case, the proper use is different between the US and UK/Canada. In the US, the punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks. Outside of the US, there are a number of rules around that. See the link below for more details. |

what is the difference between an agreement and a contract? | An agreement is a commitment between two parties that may or may not be legally binding. For instance, a boy can agree to take a girl to the movies, but there is no contract there.\n\nA contract is a legal agreement between two parties where there is an intent to be bound by one party and an agreement to accept the offered terms by another. The parts of a valid contract are the agreement and consideration on both sides.\n\nConsideration is something that one does that one is not legally bound to do or something that one agrees not to do that one is legally able to do. Back to the date above. The boy has agreed to take the girl to the movies, but the girl has agreed to do nothing for the boy as keeping him company (outside of paid escorts of course) is not something that has real value. So effectively the boys offer is a gift which the girl has agreed to accept. |
How to change a habit ? | One moment at a time, doing exactly the opposite of the habit until you focus so much on doing the exact opposite that it becomes your new habit. |
is it good to leave a lapstop hooked up to ac power for several days? | Nope you really should not. Most batteries are lithium ion batteries that develop a memory over time. I learned that the hard way. I always left my laptop plugged in, and in a year my battery was completely dead. From what I know, you should do a complete cycle of the battery at least once a month. That means at least once a month, drain the battery to empty and charge it up again. Dont cycle too often though because that too shortens battery life spans... Soo just keep in moderation. Dont always leave it plugged in, but dont always rely only on your battery either. |

IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS TRUE LOVE? | True love is hard to find. How you can really tell if you truely love someone is how you feel about them when they're gone.

I was beside myself like I had lost an arm or another very important part of my body. When she came back, I nearly tackled her in her driveway as she did me as well. I'm going to ask her to marry me this Christmas season and I've never felt so sure. |

side effects of Protonix 40mg? | To reduce side effects of PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), be sure to swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water (8 oz); do not crush, break, or chew. Take your doses at regular intervals. In addition, avoid frequent use of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, smoke, and illegal drugs.\n\nSome of the more severe side effects of PROTONIX® that require for you to contact your prescriber or health care professional are listed at DrugDigest.org. And these are: \n\n•fever or sore throat\n• redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of the skin, including inside the mouth\n• skin rash, itching\n• unusual bleeding or bruising\n• unusual weakness or tiredness\n• yellowing of the eyes or skin\n \nLess serious side effects are side effects that usually do not require medical attention, but it is recommended that you report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome. These are:\n\n• diarrhea\n• dizziness\n• dry skin\n• headache\n• nausea/vomiting\n• stomach pain or gas\n• tiredness\n\nBoth of these medicines, RABEPRAZOLE (ACIPHEX™) and PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), prevents the production of acid in the stomach.

How is it judge after death that you go to heaven or hell? | Think about this...I am a father of three beautiful children. No matter what they did, didn't do or could do, I could never say to them "I'm sending you away to eternal suffering and never want to see you again". Now, I'm not even close to being Divine- not nearly as loving or merciful as so many state God is; I'm human and prone to err. So if I can forgive MY child for anything, how is it that an Omnipotent Divinity that is perfect cannot? My belief is every soul is recycled until all the lessons needed are learned and then they are accepted into "heaven" or to join with The Divine. It's the only thing that makes sense to me. |
do you loose weight with birth control? | It really depends on you individually. I know it is common for women to gain weight, but never have I seen anyone 'blow up' from starting birth control. It affects your hormones and will make you more 'developed'. Instead, I have seen (in myself and others) that your breast size can increase, as well as more curves adding to your figure. So it's not always a bad thing! |

The wikipedia article below will provide more detailed information. |
Why does a laser shined on brushed alumiun reflect a solid halo, when other surfaces just reflect the red dot? | The key to your answer is “brushed aluminum.”\nThe surfaces which reflect just a red dot are usually polished or very flat. This causes them to reflect the laser light just like a mirror, with very little scattering.\nBrushed aluminum, on the other hand, has very tiny scratches on its surface. The sides of these scratches will cause the laser light to scatter in different directions, forming the “halo.” |

Why do people need sleep? | Nobody knows for sure; however, there are many theories. Below is a very plasable one:\n\nJerome Siegel, of the University of California in Los Angeles, along with colleagues elsewhere, has suggested a third possibility. Writing in a special review of sleep in the current issue of Nature, Dr Siegel says that it may be related to defence against oxidative stress. Smaller animals have higher metabolic rates, and this results in the generation of higher levels of small, highly reactive molecules such as free radicals. Studies on rats show that when they are deprived of sleep, their oxidative stress increases. Dr Siegel proposes that animals with higher metabolic rates need more sleep to interrupt and protect against this kind of oxidative damage, as well as repairing any damage done. |
Virtual Administrative Assistant/Answering Service? | Starting as a virtual assistant is a great idea. (I know, I started that way several years ago.) I do recommend that any of those new to the industry consider your best areas of service before launching and specialize from the start.\n\nUnless you are planning on doing the video conferencing locally, I think you may find that to be a bit difficult to pull off. Not because it can't be done, but because you would need to work with clients that are able to set up the hardware and software on their own sites. Usually, people hire you to solve problems -- and the video conferencing has a serious potential to CREATE problems, especially long distance.\n\nBefore you launch a VA practice, research the name you plan to use for the business (an Internet search is a great place to begin) because you don't want to use a name that's already in use (and possibly trademark protected).\n\nThen consider your strengths and weaknesses. Do an honest self-assessment to determine what services you can offer that will benefit your clients while emphasising your skills, background and education without requiring you to delve into areas that are not your best.\n\nIf you are going to be a VA, a website is essential. If creating a good website isn't your strength -- hire it out or barter services with someone else who can create an effective site.\n\nMarket yourself everywhere you go (business cards at the ready). And, always look for opportunities to talk about what you do -- this is most easily achieved by asking others about their own work (they will usually return the favor).

Can I run Ubuntu (Linux) on the same iBook as I run Mac OS 10.4? | The good news is that you can install Ubuntu Linux as they have a PowerPC version available, Macs can't use the x86 version. Ubuntu and most Linux distros come with bootloaders which will allow you to dual boot OSX and the Linux distro, in this case Ubuntu. The Ubuntu installer should be able to partition and format your drive while keeping the OSX installation intact. Once you have installed Ubuntu you should be able to select from either Ubuntu or OSX to boot with. Ubuntu shouldn't take more than 3GB for the install but you will want to give it at least a 10GB partition to work with.\n\nI know next to nothing about dual booting a Mac but that is how it would work on Windows. |

How did they come up with the 5 rings as the symbol for the Olympics? | I'm not sure how to interpret your "hint", but Wikipedia says:\n\nThe Olympic movement uses many symbols, most of them representing Coubertin's ideas and ideals. The best known symbol is probably that of the Olympic Rings. These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents. They appear in five colors on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colors, white (for the field), red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen such that each nation had at least one of these colors in its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown were Antwerp, 1920. It is hoisted at each celebration of the Games.\n\nAre you positive your hinter is reliable? Maybe they meant how the colors (or which there are also five) do not represent the continents? |
Where do we go when we die? | Hi,\n\nI believe there is such things as absolute truth, variations only stand when different people believe differently.\n\nWhere do we go when we die? All brings back to the very reason for existence, very reason why God created mankind. (N.B. I do believe in God) Did God created man so that he could spend his time leisuring, get drunk, fool around, have intercourse for fun etc?\n\nYou asked for opinion and this is mine: No, God did not create us just for fun without any particular reason. The Supreme ONE must have had a cause for all of us. As for me, I believe that we are all created to 'enslave' ourselves to Him. Life is a test, and only His worthy subjects will be rewarded with heaven in hereafter.\n\nSurely, He must have provided us with a manual for us to navigate ourselves in life i.e. finding the true path to Him. Like we when buy a car, the manufacturer provides us with the manual. So it is up to us to look into the manual, or rather to look FOR the manual in any old 'drawer' that we might have misplaced it.\n\nGood luck. May God bless you. |

What really caused Bush to lose popularity?? | George Bush Jr. could not be the CEO of any major corporation in this country.\nHe lacks the leadership qualities to bring diverse groups of people together. He lacks the ability to analyze a problem taking into consideration other points of view. He is totally incompetent to run Texas, let alone the greatest Democracy of all time.\n His election to the Presidency, although still in doubt, was the most absurd choice in our history. There were hundreds of men and women who could do the job and we the people picked him.\n We knew about his past problems with alcohol, his mediocre college record, and his failure as a business man and we still said, "Here take the job as head of the free world and see what you can do with it>"\n I think that a critical mass of horrible things happened that has caused the American people to feel terribly guilty that they allowed this man to be their President and even re-elected him. \n His appearance as a strong leader has given way to being a spoiled brat who has a stubborn streak. His advisers told him to act like a leader and I must say that if you were not born to be one, it is hard thing to do. \n I think there were three last straws. Terry Schiavo, Katrina, and Harriet Meiers. These events along with rising gas prices and loss of pensions and jobs by millions of people are driving the heartland crazy.\n Three more years....Unless Congress can neutralize his poison...instead of rubber stamping his policies. Either Democrats must be elected or Republicans must show some backbone and stand for something again. |
does anybody know the group that sings "staring down the barrel of a 45? | Its a song called "45" by Shinedown. These are the lyrics; \n\nSend away for a priceless gift \n\nOne not subtle, one not on the list \n\nSend away for a perfect world \n\nOne not simply, so absurd \n\nIn these times of doing what you're told \n\nYou keep these feelings, no one knows \n\nWhat ever happened to the young man's heart \n\nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart \n\n\nAnd I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, \n\nSwimming through the ashes of another life \n\nNo real reason to accept the way things have changed \n\nStaring down the barrel of a 45 \n\n\nSend a message to the unborn child \n\nKeep your eyes open for a while \n\nIn a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else \n\nThere's a piece of a puzzle known as life \n\nWrapped in guilt, sealed up tight \n\n\nWhat ever happened to the young man's heart \n\nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart \n\n\n[CHORUS] \n\n\nEveryone's pointing their fingers \n\nAlways condemning me \n\nAnd nobody knows what I believe \n\nI believe \n\n\n[CHORUS] |
Can you get a wart from touching someone's wart? | No way warts are not contagious they are mini growths |
does stress cause having a bowel movement to be harder? | from what I learned at my nutrition school when the body is under stress, it's called in anthropological terms, the 'fight or flight' syndrome. whereby your body thinks it is under a threat of some kind and reacts accordingly. even if in modern times most of what we perceive as a threat is psychological whereas in primitive times we were being chased by tigers!! each one is a different stressor but your body only knows that it feels threatened and creates the same response, tiger or being late to work. real or otherwise. \nyour body then produces stress, it copes with whatever this stress is by shutting down diffferent systems so that it can survive most efficiently. Either by running away or fighting the tiger(metaphorically or literally). digestion is absolutely one of them. when in a stressful situation your bowels are the last thing you need to think about if per say, primatively speaking, you are being chased by a tiger. some people evacuate immediately: diarrhea or hold it in until they are safe: constipation. if they are under constant stress, then the body perceives this as a signal to continue coping as it has been which could cause constant constipation and/or diarrhea or other problems such as hormonal imbalances(because when you are super-stressed for example having a baby is the last thing your body can handle), weight gain or loss etc.. \nSuggestions:\n(I have a theory, see if it fits). I have noticed that people who are prone to consipation tend to be holder-oners. Those who have a hard time lettting go. Whereas people who are prone to diarrhea tend to be letter-goers. Those who have a harder time facing things and move fast to avoid things. Both by personal experience and talking with people who suffer from both of these issues. Take a look at your life, your material belongings and see which one fits...if not. Then my theory is off)\nYou can look into is meditation or tai chi for calm stress reduction or even martial arts to get some anger and aggression out...stress reduction at it's funnest and finest!!! \nCalcium/magnesium is good for nerve balancing and muscle contraction and relaxation. make sure you have the right ratio. especially magnesium( most of America are deficient).\n\ngood luck, \nhang in there...\nhope this helps! |
Why are tennis bracelets called tennis bracelets? | Tennis bracelets, also known as diamond line bracelets, are thin, elegant pieces of wrist jewelry that feature a symmetrical pattern of diamonds. Unlike charm bracelets, they lack pendants or mementos. \nAccording to numerous web sites, such as Professional Jeweler Magazine and Normans of Mosman, tennis star Chris Evert was known for her diamond line bracelets. She lost one during the 1987 U.S. Open, and the game had to be temporarily halted while she prowled the court for it. The "tennis bracelet" incident sparked a new name for the item, as well as a huge jewelry trend. \n\nFollowing in the footsteps of the great Chris Evert, last year Serena Williams wore a custom-design Harry Winston tennis bracelet at the U.S. Open. According to the press release, "Winston added an extra secure safety clasp to the bracelet to make sure the flexible and fluid piece will stay securely on Williams' 7 and one-half inch wrist." \n\nRegards\n\nParadiso |
