5,100	3Education & Reference	how do i score a 750+ + score for the GMAT?	Which courses, books etc should I use?	The GMAT is essentially a glorified SAT - all the stuff in there you definitely learned pre-college. I've never been a big proponent of the GMAT classes because I feel you can get everything out of the book. The class isn't going to teach you some random formula you don't already know. Both the books and classes essentially spell out what format of questions will be asked in each section. Then they drill you on that format repeatedly until solving for that type of equation or that grammatical structure is second nature no matter what weird way they ask it on the test. I would recommend getting one of the books, Kaplan is pretty much the industry standard. Read it all the way through. Then take every practice test in the book, then save a few bucks and go hang out in the bookstore and take a half a dozen practice tests in other GMAT prep books. Review every question on your test you got wrong and go back into the book to see what “format” of question it is and review that again. Then use the free CDROM that should come with your prep book to focus in on any sections you are bombing on the practice tests. This worked for me and one of my buddies. We studied for about two weeks for an average of 3 hours a day and topped out over 750. The MCAT would be another story…thank god I don’t want to be a doctor…

5,124	1Science & Mathematics	Why is helium found in deposits of uranium and thorium ores?	Please answer this question briefly. Thanks!	well, i am not positive, but i suspect that it's because of alpha decays. most heavy radioactive elements like uranium and thorium decay into other more stable elements like lead, by the emission of an alpha particle. an alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus - two protons and two neutrons. the alpha nucleus picks up a few electrons from the environment when it's released and voila, you get elemental helium.

5,127	6Business & Finance	How points in stock exchange has been calculated?		Are you talking about the Dow Jones Industrial Average? If so, it was started over 100 years ago as a list of stocks that were added up and printed in a daily newspaper. Since that time, in order to maintain consistency, it has changed stocks and the number of stocks so that it is no longer a simple average or sum of the stocks contained in it. For each stock listed in the DJIA, each is multiplied by a fractional number to get it's value for the whole. These numbers are then added up and posted as the number of points the Dow is worth. Changes are mentioned daily in news broadcasts by saying the dow went up 5 points or down 10 points--just the change in the daily figure.

When I try to play one of the games, the page freezes and the only way to continue is to turn off the computer; if I keep pressing buttons the mouse makes clicking noises and each time I press any button after that makes the same clicking noises. I have the Windows Me program. Thanks.	Windows Millenium edition is horrible. Save yourself a lot of headache and buy Windows XP Upgrade (Pro or Home edition). It will run a lot better than Millenium edition.\n\nAlso clean up your computer: Go to download.com and search for Spybot Search and Destroy and Lavasoft Adaware. Download those, install them, and scan your computer for infections. Let it remove anything it finds that is spyware.\n\nIf you are familiar with msconfig, you can go into that program and turn off some programs that are running in the background. If a program in the background is for a device, leave it alone...if it is for a multimedia program or something you know that you don't need to care about then turn it off. You can find a huge list of startup programs at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk and read about what each one does. You can take entries that you find in msconfig (on the startup tab) and compare them to the things pacs-porta.co.uk has to say.\n\nYou can also make sure that your version of Windows and Internet Explorer is completely up to date: go to http://update.microsoft.com and download all the critical and recommended updates.\n\nAlso, you can try using a different webbrowser. Firefox is really great, free, and easy to use: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=152021&t=86

5,142	3Education & Reference	What was the first dinosaur discovered?		The Greeks and Romans may have found fossils, giving rise to their many ogre and griffin legends. There are references to "dragon" bones found in Wucheng, Sichuan, China (written by Chang Qu) over 2,000 years ago; these were probably dinosaur fossils. \n\nThe first dinosaur to be described scientifically was Megalosaurus. This genus was named in 1824, by William Buckland; Gideon Mantell (not Ferdinand August von Ritgen) assigned the scientific type species name, Megalosaurus bucklandii. Buckland (1784-1856) was a British fossil hunter and clergyman who discovered collected fossils. (Note: the first dinosaur found was Iguanodon, but it was named and described later than Megalodon.)

5,148	1Science & Mathematics	If space is a vaccuum then shouldn't there be no need for continued thrust if you are traveling one direction?	If I point my spacecraft at a distant start and hit the acceleration full throttle, shouldn't the speed of the ship never slow down since there is an absolute vaccuum and no resistence or friction? Or do the interstellar particles and varies debris cause enough drag that a spaceship needs continuos thrust once out of the gravity of near by objects?	These answers "seem" correct. But Im not sure thats really the case. Within our solar system there is still gravity. What do you think is holding all the planets in place? Perhaps between systems that might be more true.\n\nThe problem is getting a large mass moving fast enough to really be productive. You still need loads of energy to get a real spaceship moving. We just dont have that tech yet. \n\nRight now scientists are working on a plasma engine. Check it out.

5,150	8Family & Relationships	why do girls like to be tied up?		I can only speak for myself. First of all...probably only my husband could get away with it as it is deeply personal and puts you in a very vulnerable place...but it is the idea of giving control up and being taken care of that would turn me on about being tied up...but the whole whips and stuff are not sexy to me so it is not about pain or being abused...it is just the age old concept of being swept off on a white horse and being overwhelmed by masculinity (did I just say this out loud!) There is a caution in this...women also want to be equals with men and respected and treated like they have a brain and can use it... but there is this oxymoron in us that also likes to be taken care of...at least emotionally.

5,167	0Society & Culture	What is the etymology of "yakuza"?	I heard that it was derived from the worst hand in oicho-kabu, but I'm not sure.	Wikipedia:\nThe term "Yakuza" comes from a Japanese card game, Oicho-Kabu (played with hanafuda or kabufuda cards). The worst hand in the game is a set of eight, nine and three. In traditional Japanese forms of counting, these numbers are called Ya, Ku and Sa, thus the origin of the word "yakuza." The yakuza took this name because the Ya-Ku-Za hand requires the most skill (at judging opponents, etc.) and, obviously, the best luck in order to win. The name was also used because it signified bad fortune, presumably for anyone who went up against the group.\n\nIn Japanese legal terminology, yakuza organizations are referred to as Bōryokudan, literally "violence groups". Yakuza members consider this an insult, as Bōryokudan is a term which can be applied to any violent criminal.

5,172	1Science & Mathematics	How does a butterfly get out of a cocoon?		After the last of several molts the larva is transformed into a pupa with a hard, often sculptured outer integument, within which it changes to the adult form. The butterfly pupa is called a chrysalis, or chrysalid. Most chrysalids (unlike the pupae of most moths) are not enclosed in a cocoon; however, they are usually suspended from some object by a silken thread and may have a partial covering. Except in those species that winter in the pupa stage, the adult usually emerges from the integument in two or three weeks. Members of some species winter in the egg stage, others as larvae or adults. The adults of most species, however, live only about a month.

Since everyone who works at google can spend 20% of there time on personal projects and they have a number of XUL hackers, someone has done this by now.\n\nThe reason we havn't seen it i would imagine is becuase there is no reason to put it out. I think Google is keeping something inhouse just incase MS decides to try to do something with IE that hurts google. But untill then i doubt we would see anything from google as far as a Gbrowser goes.

5,179	1Science & Mathematics	Does it really take more energy to turn a light bulb on than to run it for 30 minutes?	As a child, after 2 minutes of turning on and off a light, I distinctly remember having been told by my mother, that it takes more energy to turn on a light bulb, that it does to run it for 30 minutes. Terrified of the environmental ramifications I never did that again. However I'm wondering if it is true for a standard old light bulb. I seriously doubt it. However what about a halogen, florescent, or even LED? Any thoughts?	Not true... generally. Standard bulbs may have a reduced life span as result of constant on-and-off because of the constant temperature fluctuation of the filament. As for energy consumption, the initial warm-up is almost instant such that it "essentially" does not use any more energy to turn on. Halogen bulbs are similar to standard bulbs except the bulb is pressurized with halogen gas for more light output. LEDs are not affected either way. As for florescent bulbs, they do require a ballast to initially heat the gas up which DOES take a little more energy to start up than run - but definitely not 30 minutes worth of running.\n\nYour air conditioner is a different story. It requires a surge of amperage to start up and uses far less energy to simply run. I still wouldn’t say it compares to 30 minutes worth of constant running though - maybe 10 or so. Your AC turning on an off constantly will not only produce a higher energy bill but will wear out the electrical components faster.
5,180	1Science & Mathematics	what is the root cause for the earths gravitaional force?		The Earth as a whole can be considered a single mass, m1 and another object, for example you, or the moon, or an apple, is considered another mass, m2. The gravity force between them is given as:\n\nF = G[(m1m2)/r^2]\n\nWhere G is the Gravitational constant and is equal to:\n6.67x10^-11 N m^2/kg^2\n\nSo the root cause of the Earth's gravity is it's mass and how it pulls on other masses as given by the equation above. \n\nYou can see that with two very massive objects like the Earth and the Sun you get a much bigger force than with smaller masses like 2 people. THat's why the Earth is kept in orbit about the Sun but you don't feel a force pulling you towards other people for example.

If I really loved my job, I'd try first going to my boss and telling him that I know he's uncomfortable with what happened and that I am ,too, but that it's not fair to be treating me differently because I accidentally happened upon HIS indescretion....he may not even realize he's being a jerk.

Because a podcast does or does not orginate from Canada means little about what podcasts Canadians are listening to. For instance, in the U.S., the most popular podcasts hail from all over the country and the world. My suggestion would be to find podcasts from local Canadian media (the CBC has several podcasts for instance)and to work with some of the more popular overall as ranked by iTunes and Yahoo Music (the amount of money you will pay is pretty low anyway). Also, I would not put all your eggs into the podcasting basket. Depending on what your business is and what you are trying to sell, there are probably other online and offline media that would make a lot of sense for you.\n\nHope that helps!

Is this true?	you should wait until you are married if that is what you want. chances are if a guy has sex with you now he probably might only want sex. If a guy really loves you and repects you he will also wait until you are married.
5,196	3Education & Reference	What day did Marie Antoinette die?		Marie Antoinette was the Queen of France during the French Revolution. Resented by the French citizenry for her foreign birth and extravagant lifestyle, Marie Antoinette has gone down in history as the arrogant and apathetic monarch who said "let them eat cake" when told the peasants were starving. These days most scholars dismiss the quote as being revolutionary propaganda, but Marie was well-known to have spent wildly as a young queen before tempering things a bit as she matured. The daughter of Francis I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, Marie left Austria for France in 1770 to marry the prince of France. In 1774 the prince became King Louis XVI and Marie became queen. As revolution swept Paris in 1789, the king and queen tried to flee but failed. While the revolutionaries were trying to hash out a new system of government, Marie and Louis XVI were stuck as prisoners at the palace at Tuileries. \n\n\nThey tried to get help from royal supporters in England, Prussia and Austria, but in 1792 they were arrested and charged with treason. Louis was beheaded 21 January 1793 and Marie was beheaded 16 October 1793.

how do i score a 750+ + score for the GMAT?

Which courses, books etc should I use?

The GMAT is essentially a glorified SAT - all the stuff in there you definitely learned pre-college. I've never been a big proponent of the GMAT classes because I feel you can get everything out of the book. The class isn't going to teach you some random formula you don't already know. Both the books and classes essentially spell out what format of questions will be asked in each section. Then they drill you on that format repeatedly until solving for that type of equation or that grammatical structure is second nature no matter what weird way they ask it on the test. I would recommend getting one of the books, Kaplan is pretty much the industry standard. Read it all the way through. Then take every practice test in the book, then save a few bucks and go hang out in the bookstore and take a half a dozen practice tests in other GMAT prep books. Review every question on your test you got wrong and go back into the book to see what “format” of question it is and review that again. Then use the free CDROM that should come with your prep book to focus in on any sections you are bombing on the practice tests. This worked for me and one of my buddies. We studied for about two weeks for an average of 3 hours a day and topped out over 750. The MCAT would be another story…thank god I don’t want to be a doctor…

how the concept of product life cycle evolves from the concept of demand life cycle?

Products begin with a period of research and development. Next the product is introduced or launched into the market. At market, it gains customers, and as more customers buy it, the product grows. After a period the market becomes balanced. That is no more growth is occurring and the product becomes old. Once the product has matured it is replaced by other developments and superior products making the initial product decline and eventually taken off the shelf.

Why is helium found in deposits of uranium and thorium ores?

Please answer this question briefly. Thanks!

well, i am not positive, but i suspect that it's because of alpha decays. most heavy radioactive elements like uranium and thorium decay into other more stable elements like lead, by the emission of an alpha particle. an alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus - two protons and two neutrons. the alpha nucleus picks up a few electrons from the environment when it's released and voila, you get elemental helium.

For each stock listed in the DJIA, each is multiplied by a fractional number to get it's value for the whole. These numbers are then added up and posted as the number of points the Dow is worth.

Download those, install them, and scan your computer for infections. Let it remove anything it finds that is spyware.\n\nIf you are familiar with msconfig, you can go into that program and turn off some programs that are running in the background. If a program in the background is for a device, leave it alone...if it is for a multimedia program or something you know that you don't need to care about then turn it off. You can find a huge list of startup programs at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk and read about what each one does. You can take entries that you find in msconfig (on the startup tab) and compare them to the things pacs-porta.co.uk has to say.\n\nYou can also make sure that your version of Windows and Internet Explorer is completely up to date: go to http://update.microsoft.com and download all the critical and recommended updates.\n\nAlso, you can try using a different webbrowser.

The Greeks and Romans may have found fossils, giving rise to their many ogre and griffin legends.

This genus was named in 1824, by William Buckland; Gideon Mantell (not Ferdinand August von Ritgen) assigned the scientific type species name, Megalosaurus bucklandii. Buckland (1784-1856) was a British fossil hunter and clergyman who discovered collected fossils. (Note: the first dinosaur found was Iguanodon, but it was named and described later than Megalodon.)

If space is a vaccuum then shouldn't there be no need for continued thrust if you are traveling one direction?

If I point my spacecraft at a distant start and hit the acceleration full throttle, shouldn't the speed of the ship never slow down since there is an absolute vaccuum and no resistence or friction? Or do the interstellar particles and varies debris cause enough drag that a spaceship needs continuos thrust once out of the gravity of near by objects?

These answers "seem" correct. But Im not sure thats really the case. Within our solar system there is still gravity. What do you think is holding all the planets in place? Perhaps between systems that might be more true.\n\nThe problem is getting a large mass moving fast enough to really be productive. You still need loads of energy to get a real spaceship moving. We just dont have that tech yet. \n\nRight now scientists are working on a plasma engine. Check it out.

why do girls like to be tied up?

I can only speak for myself. First of all...probably only my husband could get away with it as it is deeply personal and puts you in a very vulnerable place...but it is the idea of giving control up and being taken care of that would turn me on about being tied up...but the whole whips and stuff are not sexy to me so it is not about pain or being abused...it is just the age old concept of being swept off on a white horse and being overwhelmed by masculinity (did I just say this out loud!) There is a caution in this...women also want to be equals with men and respected and treated like they have a brain and can use it... but there is this oxymoron in us that also likes to be taken care of...at least emotionally.

It's not bad to give gifts and fireworks, christmas trees, lights , but getting drunk i think is not good. The real christmas whick a lot of people have forgotten it is Christ, whether we get gifts, fireworks or not, those things shouldn't take away the spirit of christmas.

What a great way to make money to get out of debt?

Your local library will have a few books called something like '101 Ways To Earn Extra Money', as well as others on getting out of debt.\n\nEarning more is only part of the battle- a smart pay off plan, and better cash management are needed as well.\n\nAs far as extra money-\n- extra shifts at work\n- part time job\n- sell your best talent- troubleshoot computers, design web pages for co-workers, design landscaping, build cool furniture, sell baked goods...\n- do stuff no one else wants to do- shovel, mow, wash windows, paint buildings... \n- sell off unused stuff in smart ways (garage sale vs. pawn shop vs. eBay...)\n- find something to do for the people around you that they will pay you for. \n\nEXAMPLE: One lady made a bundle when co-workers noticed her wonderful lunch sandwiches, so she started making them for others- first just office mates, then the department, then the floor...\n\nWithin 3 months, she quit her job and hired a staff of 5 other people to make and deliver her sandwiches to several big businesses in her area.

What is the etymology of "yakuza"?

I heard that it was derived from the worst hand in oicho-kabu, but I'm not sure.

Wikipedia:\nThe term "Yakuza" comes from a Japanese card game, Oicho-Kabu (played with hanafuda or kabufuda cards). The worst hand in the game is a set of eight, nine and three. In traditional Japanese forms of counting, these numbers are called Ya, Ku and Sa, thus the origin of the word "yakuza." The yakuza took this name because the Ya-Ku-Za hand requires the most skill (at judging opponents, etc.) and, obviously, the best luck in order to win. The name was also used because it signified bad fortune, presumably for anyone who went up against the group.\n\nIn Japanese legal terminology, yakuza organizations are referred to as Bōryokudan, literally "violence groups". Yakuza members consider this an insult, as Bōryokudan is a term which can be applied to any violent criminal.

How does a butterfly get out of a cocoon?

After the last of several molts the larva is transformed into a pupa with a hard, often sculptured outer integument, within which it changes to the adult form. The butterfly pupa is called a chrysalis, or chrysalid. Most chrysalids (unlike the pupae of most moths) are not enclosed in a cocoon; however, they are usually suspended from some object by a silken thread and may have a partial covering. Except in those species that winter in the pupa stage, the adult usually emerges from the integument in two or three weeks. Members of some species winter in the egg stage, others as larvae or adults. The adults of most species, however, live only about a month.

I would say for the time being, it is Firefox (sorry, i know you didn't want to hear that).\n\nI would imagine people in google have made some type of gbrowser that integrates all the google services into the browers better then the google toolbar does. Since everyone who works at google can spend 20% of there time on personal projects and they have a number of XUL hackers, someone has done this by now.\n\nThe reason we havn't seen it i would imagine is becuase there is no reason to put it out.

But untill then i doubt we would see anything from google as far as a Gbrowser goes.

Does it really take more energy to turn a light bulb on than to run it for 30 minutes?

As a child, after 2 minutes of turning on and off a light, I distinctly remember having been told by my mother, that it takes more energy to turn on a light bulb, that it does to run it for 30 minutes. Terrified of the environmental ramifications I never did that again. However I'm wondering if it is true for a standard old light bulb. I seriously doubt it. However what about a halogen, florescent, or even LED? Any thoughts?

Not true... generally. Standard bulbs may have a reduced life span as result of constant on-and-off because of the constant temperature fluctuation of the filament. As for energy consumption, the initial warm-up is almost instant such that it "essentially" does not use any more energy to turn on. Halogen bulbs are similar to standard bulbs except the bulb is pressurized with halogen gas for more light output. LEDs are not affected either way. As for florescent bulbs, they do require a ballast to initially heat the gas up which DOES take a little more energy to start up than run - but definitely not 30 minutes worth of running.\n\nYour air conditioner is a different story. It requires a surge of amperage to start up and uses far less energy to simply run. I still wouldn’t say it compares to 30 minutes worth of constant running though - maybe 10 or so. Your AC turning on an off constantly will not only produce a higher energy bill but will wear out the electrical components faster.

what is the root cause for the earths gravitaional force?

The Earth as a whole can be considered a single mass, m1 and another object, for example you, or the moon, or an apple, is considered another mass, m2. The gravity force between them is given as:\n\nF = G*[(m1*m2)/r^2]\n\nWhere G is the Gravitational constant and is equal to:\n6.67x10^-11 N m^2/kg^2\n\nSo the root cause of the Earth's gravity is it's mass and how it pulls on other masses as given by the equation above. \n\nYou can see that with two very massive objects like the Earth and the Sun you get a much bigger force than with smaller masses like 2 people. THat's why the Earth is kept in orbit about the Sun but you don't feel a force pulling you towards other people for example.

What podcasts can I advertise on in Canada?

Good question but the answer is a tough one. The Internet has changed the idea of what is "local" and what isn't. Because a podcast does or does not orginate from Canada means little about what podcasts Canadians are listening to. For instance, in the U.S., the most popular podcasts hail from all over the country and the world. My suggestion would be to find podcasts from local Canadian media (the CBC has several podcasts for instance)and to work with some of the more popular overall as ranked by iTunes and Yahoo Music (the amount of money you will pay is pretty low anyway). Also, I would not put all your eggs into the podcasting basket. Depending on what your business is and what you are trying to sell, there are probably other online and offline media that would make a lot of sense for you.\n\nHope that helps!

What day did Marie Antoinette die?

Marie Antoinette was the Queen of France during the French Revolution. Resented by the French citizenry for her foreign birth and extravagant lifestyle, Marie Antoinette has gone down in history as the arrogant and apathetic monarch who said "let them eat cake" when told the peasants were starving. These days most scholars dismiss the quote as being revolutionary propaganda, but Marie was well-known to have spent wildly as a young queen before tempering things a bit as she matured. The daughter of Francis I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, Marie left Austria for France in 1770 to marry the prince of France. In 1774 the prince became King Louis XVI and Marie became queen. As revolution swept Paris in 1789, the king and queen tried to flee but failed. While the revolutionaries were trying to hash out a new system of government, Marie and Louis XVI were stuck as prisoners at the palace at Tuileries. \n\n\nThey tried to get help from royal supporters in England, Prussia and Austria, but in 1792 they were arrested and charged with treason. Louis was beheaded 21 January 1793 and Marie was beheaded 16 October 1793.
