4,101	3Education & Reference	What does PhD. mean?	What does PhD. stand for??	Doctorate of Philosophy\n\nDoctor of Philosophy, or Ph.D. (an abbreviation for the Latin "Philosophiæ Doctor"; or alternatively Doctor philosophiæ, D.Phil.), was originally a degree granted by a university to a learned individual who had achieved the approval of his peers and who had demonstrated a long and productive career in the field of philosophy. The appellation of "Doctor" (from Latin: teacher) was usually awarded only when the individual was in middle age. It indicated a life dedicated to learning, to knowledge, and to the spread of knowledge.\n\nThe degree was popularized in the 19th century at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin as a degree to be granted to someone who had undertaken original research in the sciences or humanities. From here it spread to the U.S., arriving at Yale University in 1861, and then to the UK in 1921. This displaced the existing Doctor of Philosophy degree in some Universities; for instance, the D.Phil. (higher doctorate in the faculty of philosophy) at the University of St Andrews was discontinued and replaced with the Ph.D. (research doctorate). However, some UK universities such as Oxford, York and Sussex retain the D.Phil. appellation for their research degrees, as does the University of Waikato in New Zealand.\n\nSome ability to carry out original research must be documented by producing a dissertation or thesis of book length. The degree is often a prerequisite for permanent employment as a university lecturer or as a researcher in some sciences, though this varies on a regional basis. In others such as engineering or geology, a doctoral degree is considered desirable but not essential for employment. In a small but growing number of fields, the doctorate is felt to injure employment prospects by causing 'overqualification' for the job.\n\nIn layman's terms, it's someone who has spent a large amount of time doing research in a particular field, usually on a very specific subject, and been able to demonstrate that they have an advanced understanding of that subject -- particularly their specific research area.
4,102	1Science & Mathematics	In the Rh blood group categorization, what does Rh stand for?		Rh simply means Rhesus. When we are born we recieve 3 rhesus genes from each of our parents that make up what our blood time will eventually be.\n\nSpecifically:\n\n'We all inherit a set of three Rhesus (Rh) genes from each parent called a haplotype. You may have heard of the c, d, e, C, D and E genes. The upper case letters denote Rh positive genes and the lower case, negative and we inherit either a positive or negative of each gene from each parent (eg. CDe/cde, cdE/cDe etc.). This means that we then possess two of each gene and can pass either to our offspring. '\n\nPlease see this page for further explanation:\n\nhttp://www.childbirthsolutions.com/articles/preconception/rhesus/index.php

4,111	6Business & Finance	I want to start a personal web page How do I do it?		There are several places available on the internet where you can start your personal homepage or a blog (web log, journal) for fee or for free. Web pages contain files, such as HTML, images, graphics etc that need to be hosted on a web server. Also they need a URL address that points to them.\n\nBoth services you can get free or if you require more options for a fee. Often they are both provided by the same service provider.\n\nOnce you sign up for an account, there is (most of the times) a collection of easy to use tools so you can add content and customize your personal web page.\n\nAssuming you are new to this, and have no knowledge of programming or HTML, you could start by visiting the web sites listed below.

4,116	9Politics & Government	Do judges and lawyers do jury duty?		As the above answerers indicate, judges and lawyers are called to jury duty, but they rarely end up on a jury since the lawyers in the case generally don't want an "expert" on the jury (same reason why physicians rarely end up on juries in malpractice cases). A recent example of a judge being called for jury duty is US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer (see Source #1).\n\nYet lawyers and judges sometimes DO end up on juries. One recent example is Nassau County, NY District Judge William J. O'Brien, who served on a jury hearing a medical malpractice case. The plaintiff's lawyer thought the judge would possibly be "a little more savvy to defense tricks," while the defense attorney said for a medical malpractice case, he wanted "jurors who are intelligent and analytical" (See Source #2).\n\nAs you can see, it is not unheard of to have lawyers or judges sit on a jury, but it is certainly rare. Hope this helps :-)

4,118	6Business & Finance	What are dodo birds?		The Dodo were huge birds of unknown species that existed only on the island of Mauritius which had no human habitation prior to 1598. Due to its short wings and bulky body the dodo could not fly or flee in the face of danger.\n\nFor many years people have been using the above description when referring to the Dodo. However, new research carried out in the United Kingdom has revealed two important things we did not know before about this extinct bird.\n\nFirstly, the Dodo came from a distant family of Asian pigeons. Secondly, they were not so huge and bulky in their natural habitat as was commomly thought of.

4,126	9Politics & Government	How does the state get the authority to KILL anyone?	the 6th Commantment from GOD says thou shall NOT KILL	Historically, the judicial execution of criminals and political opponents was a phenomenon of nearly all societies, and it was often also used as a means to suppress political dissent. The the U.S, due process of law is a legal concept that ensures the government will respect all of a person's legal rights instead of just some or most of those legal rights when the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property. The Constitution itself sanctions capital punishment explicitly in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The State has the authority because we give it to them.

4,130	3Education & Reference	how can i increase my learning ability?		Well it really all depends on your age. If your a child or teen you can use many different techniques that your school will be able to offer. If you are an adult, your as smart as you can be for the rest of your life. What I mean by that is, that you can not become smarter, you can only know more. Thats why if you go to a post secondary school you are not becoming smarter, your only proving to your potential employer that you are smart enough to complete the school and that u gained knowledege (information) needed to perform the job. Now if what you ment is you want to memorize better, then do a quick search on memorization skills and pick the best that suites you.

The law by which the army in wartime governs foreign territory that it occupies. 4. Loosely, military law."\n\nIf you need further information, or information about specifics of martial law like absolute martial law or qualified martial law, please post a new question and I'd be happy to help.

4,140	0Society & Culture	Why does 98% of "Christmas-making" fall on women?		Women are relied on to organize Chrismas for the family because for one thing most women are more organized than men and they are more emotional and get into it more than men do. Besides most men don't know how to wrap presents and decorating the inside of the house is what women normally do. As for the outside, thats where the other two percent comes in. The outside is always the mens job. Thats just the way things are.

The building's shadow is 52/4=13 times longer than Ben's shadow. Since the triangles are similar, the building will also be 13 times higher than Ben, i.e. 13*5, or 65ft.
4,143	1Science & Mathematics	Is hubble's constant really a constant?		Well it is supposed to be a constant that characterizes the rate of expansion of the universe. Theoretically, it should be a constant, but there has been quite a bit of debate as to what the actual value should be. It ranges between 50 and 100 depending on how you approach measuring it.\n\nThe means of measuring it vary greatly, thus it can be difficult to get a real apples to apples comparison and sort out who has the more accurate result.

4,145	0Society & Culture	Why did the Catholic church try to hide and destroy so many books of the Bible?		because the Catholic church used the bible to control the masses. If the people actually read the bible, they would have learned that the church was twisting the scriptures and the Catholic church would have lost its stronghold. To think, the catholic church didnt just burn bibles, they burned people alive! just for having one in their posession. Nowadays, the catholic church tends to not refer to the bible, preferring to teach dogma, this way they can say whatever they want and if you are catholic you have to believe it because according to their teachings they "conveniently" have the authority granted to them to teach whatever they want regardless of whether it agrees with scripture and it is as though it was stated by God himself. Can you believe the arrogence?!
4,146	1Science & Mathematics	Have atoms or molecules ever been actually seen or photographed?	When I was in school many, many years ago, there were no microscopes powerful enough to see or photograph actual molecules or atoms. Has that changed?	It is actually not possible to photograph, or "see" an atom. This is because they are to small for light to bounce off of, making them impossible to "see".\nThere are electron microscope pictures of atoms, but they are made by running electricity through something, feeding the data into a computer, then the computer shows an image of what the atoms would look like. (it's a little more complicated than that, but very hard to explain)

The nurse is right... everyone is different. The first few days after the baby is born you will probably just give colostrum - the premilk that's full of all antibodies etc. Then about day 5 or so your milk should come in.

4,154	0Society & Culture	What are the behavioral precedents or theories of the precursors of “liberal” versus “conservative”?	This is such a fundamental question. The clash between these two\npositions has been the basis of much of the conflict in history and\nunderlines much of the news of today. Surely there is a definitive\ntreatise on this subject.	Liberals favor higher taxation for the rich and for corporations, lower taxes for the poor, and the nationalization of healthcare, education, environment, increased involvement in state governments, and regulation of certain individual rights. Conservatives favor equal taxation across the board and fewer government controls in the economy, state governments, and little or no regulation on people's everyday lives.

I have problem with GCC, actually its not the one.\nI write program that allocates array in C++, but it didn't work in GCC.\nSomebody knows how to do this?	GCC is a C compiler - if you're writing C++ code, you probably want to use G++, which is a C++ compiler.\n\nTo allocate an array of int's in C++, you can either use the traditional C syntax and malloc()/free() like:\n\nint* intArray = (int) malloc(10sizeof(int));\n...\nfree(intArray);\n\nor you can use the C++ new operator and new/delete like:\n\nint* intArray = new int[10];\n...\ndelete[] intArray;

4,167	1Science & Mathematics	why is carbon so importation?		Carbon is "special" for organic chemistry because of its ability to form molecules of arbitrary numbers of carbon atoms and other elements, primarily hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon can have up to four single bonds. Besides, it can have double or triple bonds, allowing for even more variations than its heavier homologue Silicon.\n\nOne of my old chemistry professors gave three "fundamental theorems" for organic chemistry:\n\n- Carbon always has four bonds\n- Nucleophile will react with electrophile (slightly negative ends with slightly positive ones)\n- Whenever the opportunity to form a ring of five or six atoms offers itself during a reaction, it will be taken.\n\nBetter than 95% of organic chemistry can be deduced using these rules.

4,169	1Science & Mathematics	a list of what can cause space pollution?		Old satellites contribute a lot to the pollution around our planet. A snippet from the article below,\n\nAlthough penetration of space by people and their machines is but a few decades old, already the space above the Earth has become contaminated. There are now 110,000 man-made objects larger than a half-inch orbiting in the space above the Earth, and the situation has gotten so serious that NASA 'now replaces pitted orbiter windows after most flights' of space shuttles, notes a 1987 US National Research Council report that warns of potentially catastrophic collisions with space debris. The amount of 'space junk' has doubled since 1990 and now poses 'a navigational hazard,' says Norwegian space specialist Erik Tandberg. The US and Norway are planning a giant radar station to be called Globus II in Norway's Arctic specifically to better monitor orbiting debris.\n\n'A total of over 3,000 tons of space debris surrounds the Earth today,' says Dr. Alexey Yablokov, a noted biologist and president of the Centre for Russian Environmental Policy. The 'rapid accumulation of debris' could 'complicate the further development of astronautics since there would be a direct threat of collision with debris fragments which travel at very high altitudes,' says Dr. Yablokov.\n\nAmong the junk now overhead are 37 nuclear-powered satellites put in space by the US and former Soviet Union. The operation of the satellites is over but the radioactive fuel in them is still hot and lethal and they'll be falling back to Earth in the centuries ahead.

4,181	1Science & Mathematics	who first theorized that the human body was made up cells?		In 1824, Rene Dutrochet discovered that "the cell is the fundamental element in the structure of living bodies, forming both animals and plants through juxtaposition." However, the first sightings of the internal action of the cell were made by Robert Brown. In Berlin, Johannes Muller created connections between biology and medicine, prompting the connective thinking of his students, such as those of Theodore Schwann. Schwann created the term "cell theory" and declared that plants consisted of cells. This declaration was made after that of Matthias Schlieden's (1804 - 1881) that animals are composed of cells.\n\nLeeuwenhoek was first to describe cells and coined the word more than 100 years before, but he didn't really make the leap to how fundamental the unit was.

4,183	6Business & Finance	Is it illegal for an employer to pay you only for scheduled hours, even if you clock in early?	At my work, if someone clocks in before their scheduled time, they are not paid until their beginning start time on the schedule. Can they do that? Kentucky	No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.

What does PhD. mean?

What does PhD. stand for??

Doctorate of Philosophy\n\nDoctor of Philosophy, or Ph.D. (an abbreviation for the Latin "Philosophiæ Doctor"; or alternatively Doctor philosophiæ, D.Phil.), was originally a degree granted by a university to a learned individual who had achieved the approval of his peers and who had demonstrated a long and productive career in the field of philosophy. The appellation of "Doctor" (from Latin: teacher) was usually awarded only when the individual was in middle age. It indicated a life dedicated to learning, to knowledge, and to the spread of knowledge.\n\nThe degree was popularized in the 19th century at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin as a degree to be granted to someone who had undertaken original research in the sciences or humanities. From here it spread to the U.S., arriving at Yale University in 1861, and then to the UK in 1921. This displaced the existing Doctor of Philosophy degree in some Universities; for instance, the D.Phil. (higher doctorate in the faculty of philosophy) at the University of St Andrews was discontinued and replaced with the Ph.D. (research doctorate). However, some UK universities such as Oxford, York and Sussex retain the D.Phil. appellation for their research degrees, as does the University of Waikato in New Zealand.\n\nSome ability to carry out original research must be documented by producing a dissertation or thesis of book length. The degree is often a prerequisite for permanent employment as a university lecturer or as a researcher in some sciences, though this varies on a regional basis. In others such as engineering or geology, a doctoral degree is considered desirable but not essential for employment. In a small but growing number of fields, the doctorate is felt to injure employment prospects by causing 'overqualification' for the job.\n\nIn layman's terms, it's someone who has spent a large amount of time doing research in a particular field, usually on a very specific subject, and been able to demonstrate that they have an advanced understanding of that subject -- particularly their specific research area.

In the Rh blood group categorization, what does Rh stand for?

Rh simply means Rhesus. When we are born we recieve 3 rhesus genes from each of our parents that make up what our blood time will eventually be.\n\nSpecifically:\n\n'We all inherit a set of three Rhesus (Rh) genes from each parent called a haplotype. You may have heard of the c, d, e, C, D and E genes. The upper case letters denote Rh positive genes and the lower case, negative and we inherit either a positive or negative of each gene from each parent (eg. CDe/cde, cdE/cDe etc.). This means that we then possess two of each gene and can pass either to our offspring.

Do judges and lawyers do jury duty?

As the above answerers indicate, judges and lawyers are called to jury duty, but they rarely end up on a jury since the lawyers in the case generally don't want an "expert" on the jury (same reason why physicians rarely end up on juries in malpractice cases). A recent example of a judge being called for jury duty is US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer (see Source #1).\n\nYet lawyers and judges sometimes DO end up on juries. One recent example is Nassau County, NY District Judge William J. O'Brien, who served on a jury hearing a medical malpractice case. The plaintiff's lawyer thought the judge would possibly be "a little more savvy to defense tricks," while the defense attorney said for a medical malpractice case, he wanted "jurors who are intelligent and analytical" (See Source #2).\n\nAs you can see, it is not unheard of to have lawyers or judges sit on a jury, but it is certainly rare. Hope this helps :-)

However, new research carried out in the United Kingdom has revealed two important things we did not know before about this extinct bird.\n\nFirstly, the Dodo came from a distant family of Asian pigeons.

why cant i sign on to msn messenger to instant msg friends?

use to be able to but recently when i try to sign in it tells me check password or register with msn network passport and when i try to do that it tells me page cannot be displayed

Could be the cache of your Internet browser. Clear the cache and try again. Could be they blocked your IP for any number of reasons. Could be the port that MSN Messenger uses to communicate through has been blocked by your firewall or virus software. Could be the software needs to be uninstalled, reboot the system and reinstall. It could be the BIOS on the mother board is jamming the ports or causing a redirect of ports. Maybe a program or hardware item you've recently added to the system has interfered with MSN Messenger functions. Maybe something around a hundred various "could bes" could be the problem.

How does the state get the authority to KILL anyone?

the 6th Commantment from GOD says thou shall NOT KILL

Historically, the judicial execution of criminals and political opponents was a phenomenon of nearly all societies, and it was often also used as a means to suppress political dissent. The the U.S, due process of law is a legal concept that ensures the government will respect all of a person's legal rights instead of just some or most of those legal rights when the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property. The Constitution itself sanctions capital punishment explicitly in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The State has the authority because we give it to them.

how can i increase my learning ability?

Well it really all depends on your age. If your a child or teen you can use many different techniques that your school will be able to offer. If you are an adult, your as smart as you can be for the rest of your life. What I mean by that is, that you can not become smarter, you can only know more. Thats why if you go to a post secondary school you are not becoming smarter, your only proving to your potential employer that you are smart enough to complete the school and that u gained knowledege (information) needed to perform the job. Now if what you ment is you want to memorize better, then do a quick search on memorization skills and pick the best that suites you.

"Martial law" is defined by Black's Law Dictionary: "1. The law by which during wartime the army, instead of civil authority, governs a country because of perceived need for military security or public safety. - The military assumes control purportedly until civil authority can be restored. 2. A body of firm, strictly enforced rules that ar eimposed becaues of a perception by the country's rulers that civil government has failed, or might fail, to function. - Martial law is usu[ally] imposed when the rulers foresee an invasion, insurrection, economic collapse, or other breakdown of the rulers' desired social order. 3. The law by which the army in wartime governs foreign territory that it occupies. 4. Loosely, military law."\n\nIf you need further information, or information about specifics of martial law like absolute martial law or qualified martial law, please post a new question and I'd be happy to help.

Why did the Catholic church try to hide and destroy so many books of the Bible?

because the Catholic church used the bible to control the masses. If the people actually read the bible, they would have learned that the church was twisting the scriptures and the Catholic church would have lost its stronghold. To think, the catholic church didnt just burn bibles, they burned people alive! just for having one in their posession. Nowadays, the catholic church tends to not refer to the bible, preferring to teach dogma, this way they can say whatever they want and if you are catholic you have to believe it because according to their teachings they "conveniently" have the authority granted to them to teach whatever they want regardless of whether it agrees with scripture and it is as though it was stated by God himself.

When I was in school many, many years ago, there were no microscopes powerful enough to see or photograph actual molecules or atoms. Has that changed?

It is actually not possible to photograph, or "see" an atom. This is because they are to small for light to bounce off of, making them impossible to "see".\nThere are electron microscope pictures of atoms, but they are made by running electricity through something, feeding the data into a computer, then the computer shows an image of what the atoms would look like.

Carbon is "special" for organic chemistry because of its ability to form molecules of arbitrary numbers of carbon atoms and other elements, primarily hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon can have up to four single bonds. Besides, it can have double or triple bonds, allowing for even more variations than its heavier homologue Silicon.\n\nOne of my old chemistry professors gave three "fundamental theorems" for organic chemistry:\n\n- Carbon always has four bonds\n- Nucleophile will react with electrophile (slightly negative ends with slightly positive ones)\n- Whenever the opportunity to form a ring of five or six atoms offers itself during a reaction, it will be taken.\n\nBetter than 95% of organic chemistry can be deduced using these rules.

Old satellites contribute a lot to the pollution around our planet. A snippet from the article below,\n\nAlthough penetration of space by people and their machines is but a few decades old, already the space above the Earth has become contaminated. There are now 110,000 man-made objects larger than a half-inch orbiting in the space above the Earth, and the situation has gotten so serious that NASA 'now replaces pitted orbiter windows after most flights' of space shuttles, notes a 1987 US National Research Council report that warns of potentially catastrophic collisions with space debris. The amount of 'space junk' has doubled since 1990 and now poses 'a navigational hazard,' says Norwegian space specialist Erik Tandberg. The US and Norway are planning a giant radar station to be called Globus II in Norway's Arctic specifically to better monitor orbiting debris.\n\n'A total of over 3,000 tons of space debris surrounds the Earth today,' says Dr. Alexey Yablokov, a noted biologist and president of the Centre for Russian Environmental Policy. The 'rapid accumulation of debris' could 'complicate the further development of astronautics since there would be a direct threat of collision with debris fragments which travel at very high altitudes,' says Dr. Yablokov.\n\nAmong the junk now overhead are 37 nuclear-powered satellites put in space by the US and former Soviet Union. The operation of the satellites is over but the radioactive fuel in them is still hot and lethal and they'll be falling back to Earth in the centuries ahead.

who first theorized that the human body was made up cells?

In 1824, Rene Dutrochet discovered that "the cell is the fundamental element in the structure of living bodies, forming both animals and plants through juxtaposition." However, the first sightings of the internal action of the cell were made by Robert Brown. In Berlin, Johannes Muller created connections between biology and medicine, prompting the connective thinking of his students, such as those of Theodore Schwann. Schwann created the term "cell theory" and declared that plants consisted of cells. This declaration was made after that of Matthias Schlieden's (1804 - 1881) that animals are composed of cells.\n\nLeeuwenhoek was first to describe cells and coined the word more than 100 years before, but he didn't really make the leap to how fundamental the unit was.

Is it illegal for an employer to pay you only for scheduled hours, even if you clock in early?

At my work, if someone clocks in before their scheduled time, they are not paid until their beginning start time on the schedule. Can they do that? Kentucky

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.

Yahoo thinks I'm too young. How do I fix it?

When I first set up this account I put "-99" as my age as a joke. However, -99 < 13 years old, so Yahoo doesn't let me use most of its services due to age restrictions. I says I'm too young. I don't want to get rid of this account because I use it for all of my email. I can't edit my user profile--age restrictions once again.

there is no way you can change this and if there is one then i don't know. you might wanna try calling or emailing the people at yahoo.

why cant we get along?

If we care about fitness, why we shun the bodybuilders ?\nand please dont use the steroid usage, because alot of sports use roids, and alot of bodybuilders are roid free.....just a question ?

Depends on who the bodybuilder is. I've dealt with a few that are really great guys, willing to share things with you, offer tips and insights. Maybe it's because I'm 5'11" and 185#, trim and not bulked up. (Read: not seen as competition.)\n\nBut I've also met more than a few at the gym who have only one focus; themselves. They're crass, inconsiderate, impatient, and think they own that particular time and place. \n\nLike anything else in life, you get back what you give.
