5,403	1Science & Mathematics	What is pumapard and leopon?		A leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard with a female lion, or lioness. The head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the body carries similarities to leopards.\n\nThe first documented Leopon appears to be that bred at Kolhapur, India in 1910. Its skin was sent to R I Pocock by Mr W S Millard, the Hon Secretary of the Bombay Natural History Society. It was a cross between a large leopard and a lioness. Two cubs were born, one of which died aged 2.5 months and the other was still living when Pocock described it in 1912. Pocock wrote that it was spotted like a leopard, but that the spots on its sides were smaller and closer set than those of an Indian leopard and were brown and indistinct like the fading spots of a juvenile lion. The spots on the head, spine, belly and legs were black and distinct. The tail was spotted on the topside and striped underneath and had a blackish tip with longer hairs. The underside was dirty white, the ears were fawn and had a broad black bar but did not have the white spot found in leopards. Pocock wrote that the closest he had previously seen to this type of hybrid was the lijagulep (Congolese Spotted Lion) bred in Chicago.\n\nThey have been bred in zoos in Japan, Germany and Italy (the latter was a "reverse leopon" i.e. from a male lion and female leopardess). Karl Hagenbeck, who produced many different hybrids, recorded the birth of leopons at the Hamburg Tierpark in Germany, but none survived to maturity. A leopon skin and skull at the British Museum comes from the animal bred at Kolhapur Zoo in India and was donated by Lt. Col. F.W. Wodehouse of the Junior United Services sometime between 1920 and 1940.\n\nThe most successful leopon programme was at Koshien Hanshin Park in Nishinomiya City, Japan. A lioness called Sonoko was mated by a leopard called Kaneo. The lioness voluntarily assumed a position on her side to allow the much smaller leopard to mount her. A litter of 2 hybrids was born in 1959 and 3 more were born in 1962. In captivity, the normally solitary male leopard remained with the family (social behaviour is sometimes seen in captive specimens of normally solitary big cats). The hybrids proved to be sterile and the last one died in 1985. The programme of cross-breeding was popular with the public, but it was criticised in zoological and animal welfare circles.\n\nBased on the data from the Japanese cats, leopons are larger than leopards and combine features from the leopard and lion. They have brown, rather than black, spots and tufted tails. They will climb like leopards and seem to enjoy water, also like the leopard (oddly enough, the Japanese leopons were born of a water-loving lioness and a male leopard that did not seem to like water!). Male leopons may have sparse manes about 20cm long . Females may be torn between the solitary nature of the leopard and the social nature of a lioness.\n\nP L Florio published a report "Birth of a Lion x Leopard Hybrid in Italy" in 1983 (this refers to the "reverse leopon" also known as a lipard or liard)\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\nThe Pumapard is a hybrid of male puma and female leopard. Three sets of these hybrids were bred in the late 1890s and early 1900s by Karl Hagenbeck at his animal park in Hamburg, Germany. Most did not reach adulthood. One of these was purchased in 1898 by Berlin Zoo. A similar hybrid has been reported by Helmut Hemmer. These hybrids had puma-like long tails and sandy or tawny coats with chestnut leopard-like markings and puma-like cheek markings. Another was described as resembling a little grey puma with large brown rosettes.\n\nPumapards inherit a form of dwarfism and grow to only half the size of the parents. They have a puma-like long body, but short legs.\n\nOne is preserved in the Rothschild Zoological Museum at Tring and clearly shows the tendency to dwarfism. There are colour images of the preserved pumapard at Hybri

5,405	6Business & Finance	How did Japan develop its intellectual property so extensively after World War Two?		The USA - the USA provided 100% of Japan's self defense - Japan had to spend NOTHING on its own military for 50 years (and the US still provides most of it to this day), whereas the USA spends billions a year. This 'free money' gave Japan tons and tons of capital to first rebuild, and then to monopolize - the USA gave Japan a free meal ticket to rebuild after the war.

5,408	1Science & Mathematics	why does boiling water temperature stay the same for a while once its starts boiling?	how are boiling and evaporation the same , and how are they different	Boiling is very rapid evaporation starting at the bottom of a container of water.\n\nEvaporation occurs fastest where there is the most heat (energy). When we heat water to make it boil we heat it from the bottom so the evaporation occurs at the bottom of the pot. As a result, large bubbles of water vapor form at the bottom and rise to the surface in the boiling action. If we applied the same heat to the top surface of the water it would evaporate just as quickly but we would not call it boiling because the bubbles would not form and rise to the surface.\n\nNormally evaporation occurs at a much slower rate than boiling because most evaporation occurs with room temperature water.\n\nEvaporation-is the escape of molecules from the liquid state to the gas or vapor state. In evaporation, molecules of higher-than-average kinetic energy escape from a liquid, leaving it cooler than it was before they escaped.\n\nBoiling-is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the \nexternal pressure above the liquid. When we give the boiling point of a liquid, we \nneed also to state the pressure.

5,411	1Science & Mathematics	Assuming Gods' existence is only permitted in a universe; does this limit the number of Gods or universes?	In other words; God was already always the a priori given; but God is NOT limited to any specific bandwidth in reality. In fact God always already was above and below any idea we have ever had about our position in "space". God is always already beyond us. It is of course possible that our God is not or was not the first God, but relative to NOW, God is and always will be our ONE and ONLY God! This defines the boundary of the universe for all and every human philosopher.... forever more! A-men! Clarence\n\nPS! Yes; we can exceed the light or the zero barrier and become quasi-immortal beings. Beings such as this are visiting us on a regular basis. Why do you think that is, friends? \n\nDo you think it is for our benefit..... or theirs?	Ok friend i will like to give the answer in 2 point of view.\n1)Scientific:As there is no existence of God according to science the number of God is always zero.However for the existence of universe there can't be another universe other than it because if u think of the word "existence" it is defined in such a way which includes space and time in it.That is existence of something means some instance of that event in a particular point of space time structure.But both space and time are limited to this universe.So there is nothing(actually there is no existence of word to describe this) beyond the universe.\n\n2)Philosophically:According to Hindu Philosophy(I have only learnt it and am satisfied)there is nothing name GOD.It's a word that describe the whole thing.What u say "aprior",past,time ,space,universe there is nothing such that.It's only what ur mind reflects to YOU from this universe.This YOU is the GOD.The reason behind it is the simple fact that something cannot be created from nothing it can only change forms.So it exist all the time and including the time.There is no numbers so no limits.But why the YOU feels something which is different from YOU as we feel new experience from the universe. This described as MAYA a camouflage created from that YOU to make the discriminations.\n So there is not many GOD nor one GOD it's YOU God which can't be described by numbers.
5,412	5Sports	why are the winners of the Super Bowl the “world champions?” We don’t play anyone else in the world.?	We’re the only people who play this sport, really. Everyone else plays soccer	I think tht is a valid question to ask in other sports like basketball, baseball and hockey, which are played in other countries, but American football is only played in America, well unless you count the CFL, but nobody does.\n\nIts a known fact that the best players in the world are in the NFL, and the same can be said in the NHL, NBA and MLB. I think the fact that the NFL has the best players gives them the right to say "World Champion".

5,414	9Politics & Government	Holocaust 'avengers', right or wrong?	Recently I read in the paper about a group of elderly holocaust survivors who formed a death squad to take revenge on their Nazi persecutors. They are just coming forth to tell their stories now. Do you feel these men; now in their late 70's & 80's were right or wrong?	It's like a "two wrongs make a right" scenario in some instances, and in others, we run into the famous "Ve vere only following or-doors" speech. Sometimes grudges last forever; there is no rhyme or reason to it. These people lost their families, their possessions, properties, etc. And these Nazis got to live how many years in happiness? The Biblical testament of "eye for an eye" comes up in this instance. These men SHOULD have been charged with war crimes way back when, and SHOULD have systematically been jailed or perhaps even executed. It seems like these survivors are merely being the judge and executioner. It's not right, no, not in a legal sense; but if it purges their miseries and brings them closure, Godspeed to them.

5,417	2Health	I'M 65 YRS OLD WITH CONGENITAL "MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE." AM I CLASSIFIED AS ONE HAVING "MITRAL INSUFFIENCY?"	"PLASMIN" is a new herbal supplement in the market. It's a natural thrombolytic, and I believe it can help me maintain my BP at normal level. However, the literature for this product has this precaution: "Not to be taken by individuals who suffer from mitral insufficiency." Does my congenital MVP (mitral valve prolapse) put me under the class of people who suffer from mitral insufficiency? In other words, do you advise me not to take this new herbal supplement? Thanks.	Mitral insufficiency is a generalized term for anyone suffering w/ prolapse, stenosis, or any other mitral valve problem. You would fall under that catagory, however, depending on the degree of your prolapse it could still be safe. I would consult your doctor before taking the supplement.

5,421	9Politics & Government	Do illegals from Mexico really take American jobs?		Illegal aliens are certainly working in America. More importantly, they are almost all working at wages far below minimum wage. \n\nAre they taking jobs from Americans? If there were no illegal immigrants, there would probably be jobs available at minimum wage, but some of the jobs would simply not exist. In addition, many products and services would probably cost more, which reduces demand for the services. \n\nSince economics is a dynamic system, it's hard to say just how many jobs would be available to legal residents if all of the illegal residents were shipped out.* However, there would be a lot fewer legal residents that would be taking criminal advantage of other human beings, which is certainly a worthwile goal.\n\n*My great-grandparents had a restaurant that went out of business when all the illegals were transported back to Mexico.
5,422	1Science & Mathematics	What is Cerium oxida?		Cerium(IV) oxide, ceric oxide, ceria, or sometimes simply cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is a pale yellow-white powder, CeO2. It is used in ceramics, to polish glass, and to sensitize photosensitive glass. It is also used in lapidary as "jeweller's rouge" and in the walls of self-cleaning ovens.\n\nIt is slightly hygroscopic and will also absorb a small amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.\n\nNote that cerium also forms cerium(III) oxide, Ce2O3.

5,429	1Science & Mathematics	what is a black hole?	how supernova are formed?	Supernova is formed during the death of stars; large stars and super-large stars. Star dies when nuclear fusion has completed and the core of star will get smaller and smaller. A lot of heat is generated and will heat up the outermost layer of the star. \n\nHydrogen within the layer starts to burn and the stars expands. The star will appear red and are called red giant. Furhter heat loss will cause the stars to collapse because the gravitational force becomes the strongest force. It pulls the star inwards.\n\nIf the red giant is big enough, it will contract so quickly a big explosion called "supernova" will occur.\n\nIt's extremely bright and viewable during daylight. The result, a neutron star if the original star is a large star.\n\nIf it's a super-large star, a black hole will be formed. It's called that because no light can escape it including any matter.\n\nReview other answers about black hole for more details. From what I know, a black hole consumes anything for a long term but it is slowly, very slowly dispersing itself. If you want to wait for a black hole to vanish, you will probably have to wait a million years for it to vanish or you just have to find the best one; the oldest black hole.

5,431	1Science & Mathematics	What is the difference between an Isolated Thunderstorm and a Scattered Thunderstorm?	I've seen the term used a number of times, but can never figure it out.	Isolated thunderstorms- A potential threat for thunderstorms in the area. The percentage is usually below 50% and it also depends on the air mass. This also means that this can change to anything else depending on the season and climate. Also, usually associated with a Low Preassure, but rearly with a cold front or dry line.\nScattered Thunderstorms- A threat for thunderstorms in the area is 60% or above. This means that there will more than likely be thunderstorms associated with a dry line or a cold front. For this to develope with a low preassure, it has to be very powerful.

5,433	4Computers & Internet	how can i landing a set by c prog ramming?	structure datas	If you can work in C++, there are many set \nimplementations available in the standard template\nlibrary. However, if you're working in C, you\ncan add functional/useful sets using just a small number\nof bitwise and logical operations.\n\nThe basic idea is that a set will be a bit vector,\nand element "i" will be at position "1<<i".\nFor small sets (say, up to 32 or 64), you can\nhold the sets in a scalar variable. For larger\nsets, you'd need to create an array of scalars and factor\nthat into the accessing code.\n\nWith no error checking, and just for illustration,\nI've included a trivial example of using "bit vector"\nsets in C:\n\n#include <stdio.h>\n\ntypedef long set_t;\n\n#define clear_set(x) (x=0)\n#define set_element(e, x) (x \|= (1<<(e)))\n#define is_element(e, x) ((1<<(e)) & x)\n#define sizeof_set (sizeof(set_t)*8)\n\nint\nmain()\n{\n int i;\n set_t s;\n\n clear_set(s);\n\n set_element(5, s);\n set_element(15, s);\n set_element(25, s);\n\n printf("The set consists of [");\n for (i=0; i<sizeof_set; i++) {\n if (is_element(i, s)) {\n printf(" %d", i);\n }\n }\n printf(" ]\n");\n return 0;\n}\n\nWhen compiled and executed, it demonstrates that\nit correctly created a set with elements 5, 15, and 25.\n\n$ cc set.c\n$ a.out\nThe set consists of [ 5 15 25 ]

5,447	3Education & Reference	WHERE IS PERSIA?		Persia is also known as Iran. It is in Southwest Asia between Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nThere has been much debate as to what to call Iran in common usage of the English language. The two possible names are Iran and Persia; their adjectives being Iranian and Persian, respectively.\n\nSince 600 BC, Greeks used the name Persis for Persia / Iran. Persis was taken from Old Persian Pars or Parsa - the name of Cyrus's main clan that gave its name also to the region where the Persians lived (modern day province called Fars). Persian people likewise used the name of Younaan (instead of Hellas) for Greece. "Younan" in fact is taken from the name of Ionia, in the south-east of Greece.\n\nIn Latin, the name for the land was Persia. The name "Persia" until 1935 was the "official" name of Iran in the world, but Persian people inside their country since the Sassanian period have called it "Iran" meaning "the land of Aryans", the older version of which had been "Aryanam" as seen in ancient Iranian texts. They also used "Parsa" in the Achaemenids period.

5,449	1Science & Mathematics	TESTING EMULSION TYPES, I.E. HOW WOULD YOU DETERMINE WHETHER THE EMULSION IS W/O OR O/W?		It is possible to test whether an emulsion is an inverse emulsion or normal emulsion by working out what the continuous phase is. If you get a sample of your unknown emulsion, put on a watch glass and add a drop of water-soluble dye to it (e.g. food colouring), a normal emulsion will take the colour of food colouring. An inverse emulsion, however, will not take-up the food colouring.
5,450	1Science & Mathematics	What happens to smoke in a true vacuum environment?		Normally on Earth, smoke rises and spreads because 1) the smoke particles are lighter than air, 2) the heat from whatever is burning creates an upward current of air, and 3) air is always moving.\n\nIf this vacuum is on Earth, than the smoke particles will fall to the bottom of the container or room. If the vacuum is in space, then it depends on how the smoke is generated. The smoke particles might either just sit there or fly straight out.

Joe Lynn Turner sings on most of the songs, with the three instrumentals being "Bite the Bullet" - a brief intro to "Riot In the Dungeons", "Memories" - the outro to the whole album, and "Krakatau" - a six+ minute piece that contains many themes Yngwie still plays in concert today. The songs are strongly influenced by 1970s prog rock and heavy metal, such as Deep Purple's Machine Head or Emerson Lake and Palmer's Tarkus. .

5,456	9Politics & Government	Why don't Republicans care about our environment?		Republicans are big believers in the market. Governmental regulation is to be avoided at all costs, and the more regulation eats into the bottom line the more likely it will be decried as being too "burdensome" to industry. \n\nMarket forces, however, do not favor kindness to the environment in American-style capitalism, which is focused narrowly on short-term profits over long-term viability. \n\nWe all want a nice, clean environment, but the truth is we all secretly hope the other guy is going to be the one paying for it. Given a choice between a shiny new SUV and the latest electric car, Americans choose the SUV. And we will continue to do so until the electric car is at least as good and as cheap. Americans aren't getting fatter by the year because we don't know that Twinkies aren't as good for us as celery sticks, but because we want the damn Twinkies and decide we'll pay the price later, if at all.\n \nEnvironmental regulations are like your Mom's rules-- you know they are there for your own good, but you would probably not follow them if you didn't have to. Republicans by and large think we'll do fine without all the rules. People are nice and do the right thing usually, right? Then again, Democrats aren't exactly charging to battle waving a Green banner these days either are they? They've copped to the fact that most people really want the Twinkie, and they don't like being told they can't have it or have to pay more to get it. While individual Dems may be green, the party as a whole is rather apathetic over the issues unless they can find one like drilling in ANWR that is guaranteed to get good press.\n\nAll that being said, there are certainly extremists within the environmental movement who do not seem to be able to come to grips with the fact that we cannot exist on this planet without making some environmental impacts. These folks are as damaging to the cause of environmentalism as anything occupying a chair in the Capitol. The image of environmentalists as whacked out tree-hugging eco-terrorists who want everyone to subsist on tofu and rainwater doesn't help real environmental issues gain much traction in our esteemed legislature.

We have searched the web and all we get is headlines saying the death of eminem and nothing more. Can u help?	Details of a late night car crash involving Eminem made their way to national media outlets. The story, which began circualting in early-December, claimed the surly rapper was driving a rented Saturn coupe to a late-night party when he lost control. The falsified account described the incident in gory detail: \n\n"...Mathers, who authorities believe was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, was behind the wheel of a Saturn coupe that witnesses say swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle, then lost control and slammed into a grove of trees. The car was crumpled by the impact, making extraction of Mather's body very difficult. He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics who arrived a short time later." \n\nMTV's Web site reportedly claimed to have a photograph and eyewitness accounts of the accident. However, less than two days after the rumor's inception, executives from Eminem's record label posted a statement on his Web site claiming that the contentious Slim Shady was "alive and at home with his family for the holidays in Detroit, " adding, "And he wishes all of you shady holidays and a dirty New Year."

5,466	3Education & Reference	Explain "string theory".?	Does "string theory" connect to the idea of multiple universes? And if so, how many?	Okay, so you know how quantum physics shows us that all points in space, all bits of matter are at any moment both a particle and a wave. And Einstein's special theory of relativity shows us that all light is made of waves. And these two theories combine in interesting ways, but don't completely gel. For decades physicists have been struggling to reconcile the two theories, but they have been unable to do so effectively. Something was always holding them back, basically because the universe seems to be holding more energy than there is space in the points of known mass. This made scientists wonder where all the energy was. And then they discovered, that the space in between the atoms was itself teeming with life. And the life that lives at the bottom of all matter, inside the shell of the tiniest waves of photons, or quanta, is a strange world of simultaneously vibrating strings. And those strings of multi-demensional vibrating pulsating energy play in a kind of metaphysical choir, creating all the intricacies of mass and energy in the universe, as if these tiny little strings were conductors conducting a vast symphony, only they were conducting that symphony with the conductors of all the other symphonies of the atoms they were orchestrating with. And those collections of atoms and molecules and other interesting bits were actually being played by an army of conductors conducting simultaneously with an entire legion of instruments singing and strumming away.\n\nString theory is mind-bogglingly wild, because it's so advanced. It took PBS three hours to explain it completely, and I was still lost. Only when I completed the book about the show's research did I have a deeper grasp of it. Basically you just need to know that these little strings that vibrate in 6, up to 10 dimensions (depending on whose theory applies to that particular "particle" - I told you, it's mind-blowing) and how they vibrate impacts what manifests on the level of perceptible reality.\n\nWhat's so incredible about this is that science is finally catching up to philosophy. The Middle Way, or what Huxley called the Perennial Philosophy, has always told us that the perception of life is merely the perception of imperceptible changes on a fundamental and/or spiritual nature, and the manifestation of those changes in the world that we see around us. In many traditional cultures, those changes are manipulated by otherworldy figures, gods, angels and the like, which is outside the scope of scientists to discern, but in today's physics, the wall between the reality we see and the reality that is real is paper-thin. Scientists are beginning to discover that everything truly is everything, and once they can prove it, life can get a whole lot more sane, because folks will have realized that what we are today is what we were twenty thousand years ago, we are one indescribable circle trailing itslef through time, perhaps even creating subtle vibrations that resonate with other vibrating universes that themselves are creating a reality in a world far, far different than this one, beyond all perceptible consciousness. Perhaps, there may even be a heaven, in which all this is taking place and yet life is going on and on and on, without fear or violence or pain.\n\nEnjoy your continuing discovery of the details behind string theory. It truly is a fascinating subject.

The right to bear arms is one of the concepts our government was founded on. I don't think "Republican" or "Democrat" are as simple as black and white. There are in-betweens. There are moderates and conservatives and people of similar and different views in both or our main political parties. I would look at an individual's voting record and their views and vote on their particular views and past behavior rather than just what party they belong to. Vote on your conscious and not just a party. Pick the individual that has the largest number of values in common with yourself. That is what democracy is all about.

However, there are several factors that increase one's risk for breast cancer. These include: increasing in age, being born in Europe or North America, high postmenopausal estrogen level, high premenopausual IG-1 growth, and mother or sister with a history of breast cancer. Other risk factors include no childbirths, passt cancer in one breast, high socioeconomic class, age at first fullterm pregnancy over 30, early start of period, late menopause, high fat diet, and many others. Also, breast cancer has been linked to two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. See the links for more information.

5,475	1Science & Mathematics	My question was, does the Mandelbrot Set have any practial vaule?	Etotheipi asked me for more details on my 2nd question. Are fractals finite or infinite. Some say matter can perhaps be divided just so many times, then we reach a bottom line, so to speak. Are fractals the same? Are they truly infinite, I have heard the have been divided a trillion times, is there no end? Rerun	You ask a number of questions here. I will first say that the Mandelbrot set does not really have any direct practical value.\n\nThe mandelbrot set like other fractals is interesting, in that they are calculated out in iterations, and the number of iterations used determines whether or not a point is in the set. To give an example, you know that if you define a function 2=x+y, you take any two values for x and y and see if they fit that function. x=2, y=3 is not a point that fits this function, whicle x=0.5, y=1.5 does fit this function.\n\nWith the Mandelbrot set, you cannot look at a point and see if it fits the function. The way the madelbrot set is formed is to place imaginary numbers on one axis, real numbers on the other, and define the points as follows:\n\nfor any complex number z, such that z=z^2 + 1, iterated over and over does not ever exceed 2, that number z is part of the set.\n\nThere is only one way to determine if a number z is part of the set and that is to say, we are going to do a certain number of iterations, and if z<2 at the end of our calculations, that z is part of the set, otherwise it is not. This means that whether or not a complex number is part of the madelbrot set depends on the number of iterations you use in your inclusion criteria for z. There is no absolute answer to the question "Is z a part of the madelbrot set?"\n\nSO yes the Mandelbrot set does go on forever, and the more iterations used in calculating it, the more detailed the fractal gets.

Apparently it is, seeing as, since it has become known that he has been spying on citizens without warrants, his ratings have shot up.\n\nI agree with you, our personal freedoms are going down the hole because of his crusade, but the people don't seem to care.\n\nIn response to melvin's answer, I just wanted to say that I don't think anyone has a problem with the government spying on non-citizens, it's citizens we have a problem with. He should be getting warrants to gather information about citizens' activity. He can even do it after the fact in FISA court, but he's decided that's not good enough.

5,487	6Business & Finance	Who owns Bentley? Rolls Royce? What happened with that entire sale and the brands and the factories?		In 1998, Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors was purchased from Vickers (its owner since 1980) by Volkswagen for £430 million, after bidding against BMW. BMW had recently started supplying components for the new range of cars, notably V8 engines for the Bentley Arnage and V12 engines for the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. The Rolls-Royce name was not included in VW's purchase; it was instead licensed to BMW (for £40 million) by the Rolls-Royce aero engine company.\n\nBMW and Volkswagen came to an agreement whereby Volkswagen would manufacture both Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars until the end of 2002, whereupon the right to build Rolls-Royce cars would be BMW's alone. During this period, Volkswagen reduced its reliance on BMW as a supplier: as of 2003, BMW engines are not used in Bentley cars.

5,489	0Society & Culture	What do you think about homosexual fathers adopting children? Do you know of any good resources?	I am researching this topic. Please let me know of any good places I could receive information!	I support it completely. The idea that a child needs both a mother and a father is outdated (in my opinion) and seems to me to be stictly for social roles. We like to use the mother and father to show children how they should act, but in this day and age gender roles are being blurred and nearly erased (about time). I think that two men are extremely capible of raising a child on their own and probably would do it better (or at least as well) as a heterosexual couple. And the mere thought that just because they are gay that they will 'fool around' with their kids is completely ludicrous. By that logic, a heterosexual father would molest his daughter and a heterosexual mother her son. The people who want to adopt have to go through the same strict standards that heterosexual couples go through (if not more strict) so they are actually putting effort into trying to raise a child- so they are not taking it lightly and wouldnt do anything to have the child taken away. NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THEY HAVE TO INVEST JUST TO HAVE A SHOT OF HAVING A KID. \nSure, some might not think it through all the way, but the same goes with heterosexual couples. Jesus Christ...

5,492	6Business & Finance	what is ORION ?		Orion (ōrī'ən) , in Greek mythology, Boeotian hunter. When Oenopion delayed giving his daughter Merope to him, Orion, when drunk, violated her. Oenopion then blinded him, but his vision was restored by the rays of the sun.\n\n The story of Orion's death has many versions. Some state he offended Artemis, who killed him. Others say that he became her favorite hunting companion, but offended Apollo, who loosed a giant scorpion to chase Orion into the sea. Apollo then tricked Artemis into shooting Orion. When she discovered what she had done, she gave way to her grief and immortalized her companion and the scorpion by placing them in the heavens as constellations.\n\n\n\nOrion, in astronomy, constellation located on the celestial equator. It is one of the most conspicuous and easily recognizable constellations in the entire sky. From ancient times it has been mentioned in the literature of many peoples and is traditionally depicted as the figure of a warrior. Four bright stars form a quadrangle marking his shoulders and feet; brilliant red Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) at his right shoulder, Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis) at his left shoulder, and dazzling Rigel (Beta Orionis) at his left foot are all among the 25 brightest stars in the sky, while Saiph (Kappa Orionis) at the right foot is of second magnitude. \n\nThree bright second-magnitude stars form a belt almost along the celestial equator; hanging from the belt is a sword of dimmer stars and including the famous Great Nebula (M42). Orion reaches its highest point in the evening sky in late January.\n\nSee pic\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/Orion_constellation_map.png/300px-Orion_constellation_map.png\n\nAlso, The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a glowing emission nebula with a greenish hue and is situated below Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of about 1,600 light years from the planet Earth, is 33 light years across, and is one of the brightest diffuse nebula that can be seen in the night sky.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Nebula

What is pumapard and leopon?

A leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard with a female lion, or lioness. The head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the body carries similarities to leopards.\n\nThe first documented Leopon appears to be that bred at Kolhapur, India in 1910. Its skin was sent to R I Pocock by Mr W S Millard, the Hon Secretary of the Bombay Natural History Society. It was a cross between a large leopard and a lioness. Two cubs were born, one of which died aged 2.5 months and the other was still living when Pocock described it in 1912. Pocock wrote that it was spotted like a leopard, but that the spots on its sides were smaller and closer set than those of an Indian leopard and were brown and indistinct like the fading spots of a juvenile lion. The spots on the head, spine, belly and legs were black and distinct. The tail was spotted on the topside and striped underneath and had a blackish tip with longer hairs. The underside was dirty white, the ears were fawn and had a broad black bar but did not have the white spot found in leopards. Pocock wrote that the closest he had previously seen to this type of hybrid was the lijagulep (Congolese Spotted Lion) bred in Chicago.\n\nThey have been bred in zoos in Japan, Germany and Italy (the latter was a "reverse leopon" i.e. from a male lion and female leopardess). Karl Hagenbeck, who produced many different hybrids, recorded the birth of leopons at the Hamburg Tierpark in Germany, but none survived to maturity. A leopon skin and skull at the British Museum comes from the animal bred at Kolhapur Zoo in India and was donated by Lt. Col. F.W. Wodehouse of the Junior United Services sometime between 1920 and 1940.\n\nThe most successful leopon programme was at Koshien Hanshin Park in Nishinomiya City, Japan. A lioness called Sonoko was mated by a leopard called Kaneo. The lioness voluntarily assumed a position on her side to allow the much smaller leopard to mount her. A litter of 2 hybrids was born in 1959 and 3 more were born in 1962. In captivity, the normally solitary male leopard remained with the family (social behaviour is sometimes seen in captive specimens of normally solitary big cats). The hybrids proved to be sterile and the last one died in 1985. The programme of cross-breeding was popular with the public, but it was criticised in zoological and animal welfare circles.\n\nBased on the data from the Japanese cats, leopons are larger than leopards and combine features from the leopard and lion. They have brown, rather than black, spots and tufted tails. They will climb like leopards and seem to enjoy water, also like the leopard (oddly enough, the Japanese leopons were born of a water-loving lioness and a male leopard that did not seem to like water!). Male leopons may have sparse manes about 20cm long . Females may be torn between the solitary nature of the leopard and the social nature of a lioness.\n\nP L Florio published a report "Birth of a Lion x Leopard Hybrid in Italy" in 1983 (this refers to the "reverse leopon" also known as a lipard or liard)\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\nThe Pumapard is a hybrid of male puma and female leopard. Three sets of these hybrids were bred in the late 1890s and early 1900s by Karl Hagenbeck at his animal park in Hamburg, Germany. Most did not reach adulthood. One of these was purchased in 1898 by Berlin Zoo. A similar hybrid has been reported by Helmut Hemmer. These hybrids had puma-like long tails and sandy or tawny coats with chestnut leopard-like markings and puma-like cheek markings. Another was described as resembling a little grey puma with large brown rosettes.\n\nPumapards inherit a form of dwarfism and grow to only half the size of the parents. They have a puma-like long body, but short legs.\n\nOne is preserved in the Rothschild Zoological Museum at Tring and clearly shows the tendency to dwarfism. There are colour images of the preserved pumapard at Hybri

How did Japan develop its intellectual property so extensively after World War Two?

The USA - the USA provided 100% of Japan's self defense - Japan had to spend NOTHING on its own military for 50 years (and the US still provides most of it to this day), whereas the USA spends billions a year. This 'free money' gave Japan tons and tons of capital to first rebuild, and then to monopolize - the USA gave Japan a free meal ticket to rebuild after the war.

why does boiling water temperature stay the same for a while once its starts boiling?

how are boiling and evaporation the same , and how are they different

Boiling is very rapid evaporation starting at the bottom of a container of water.\n\nEvaporation occurs fastest where there is the most heat (energy). When we heat water to make it boil we heat it from the bottom so the evaporation occurs at the bottom of the pot. As a result, large bubbles of water vapor form at the bottom and rise to the surface in the boiling action. If we applied the same heat to the top surface of the water it would evaporate just as quickly but we would not call it boiling because the bubbles would not form and rise to the surface.\n\nNormally evaporation occurs at a much slower rate than boiling because most evaporation occurs with room temperature water.\n\nEvaporation-is the escape of molecules from the liquid state to the gas or vapor state. In evaporation, molecules of higher-than-average kinetic energy escape from a liquid, leaving it cooler than it was before they escaped.\n\nBoiling-is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the \nexternal pressure above the liquid. When we give the boiling point of a liquid, we \nneed also to state the pressure.

Assuming Gods' existence is only permitted in a universe; does this limit the number of Gods or universes?

In other words; God was already always the a priori given; but God is NOT limited to any specific bandwidth in reality. In fact God always already was above and below any idea we have ever had about our position in "space". God is always already beyond us. It is of course possible that our God is not or was not the first God, but relative to NOW, God is and always will be our ONE and ONLY God! This defines the boundary of the universe for all and every human philosopher.... forever more! A-men! Clarence\n\nPS! Yes; we can exceed the light or the zero barrier and become quasi-immortal beings. Beings such as this are visiting us on a regular basis. Why do you think that is, friends? \n\nDo you think it is for our benefit..... or theirs?

Ok friend i will like to give the answer in 2 point of view.\n1)Scientific:As there is no existence of God according to science the number of God is always zero.However for the existence of universe there can't be another universe other than it because if u think of the word "existence" it is defined in such a way which includes space and time in it.That is existence of something means some instance of that event in a particular point of space time structure.But both space and time are limited to this universe.So there is nothing(actually there is no existence of word to describe this) beyond the universe.\n\n2)Philosophically:According to Hindu Philosophy(I have only learnt it and am satisfied)there is nothing name GOD.It's a word that describe the whole thing.What u say "aprior",past,time ,space,universe there is nothing such that.It's only what ur mind reflects to YOU from this universe.This YOU is the GOD.The reason behind it is the simple fact that something cannot be created from nothing it can only change forms.So it exist all the time and including the time.There is no numbers so no limits.But why the YOU feels something which is different from YOU as we feel new experience from the universe. This described as MAYA a camouflage created from that YOU to make the discriminations.\n So there is not many GOD nor one GOD it's YOU God which can't be described by numbers.

Holocaust 'avengers', right or wrong?

Recently I read in the paper about a group of elderly holocaust survivors who formed a death squad to take revenge on their Nazi persecutors. They are just coming forth to tell their stories now. Do you feel these men; now in their late 70's & 80's were right or wrong?

It's like a "two wrongs make a right" scenario in some instances, and in others, we run into the famous "Ve vere only following or-doors" speech. Sometimes grudges last forever; there is no rhyme or reason to it. These people lost their families, their possessions, properties, etc. And these Nazis got to live how many years in happiness? The Biblical testament of "eye for an eye" comes up in this instance. These men SHOULD have been charged with war crimes way back when, and SHOULD have systematically been jailed or perhaps even executed. It seems like these survivors are merely being the judge and executioner. It's not right, no, not in a legal sense; but if it purges their miseries and brings them closure, Godspeed to them.

Do illegals from Mexico really take American jobs?

Illegal aliens are certainly working in America. More importantly, they are almost all working at wages far below minimum wage. \n\nAre they taking jobs from Americans? If there were no illegal immigrants, there would probably be jobs available at minimum wage, but some of the jobs would simply not exist. In addition, many products and services would probably cost more, which reduces demand for the services. \n\nSince economics is a dynamic system, it's hard to say just how many jobs would be available to legal residents if all of the illegal residents were shipped out.* However, there would be a lot fewer legal residents that would be taking criminal advantage of other human beings, which is certainly a worthwile goal.\n\n*My great-grandparents had a restaurant that went out of business when all the illegals were transported back to Mexico.

what is a black hole?

how supernova are formed?

Supernova is formed during the death of stars; large stars and super-large stars. Star dies when nuclear fusion has completed and the core of star will get smaller and smaller. A lot of heat is generated and will heat up the outermost layer of the star. \n\nHydrogen within the layer starts to burn and the stars expands. The star will appear red and are called red giant. Furhter heat loss will cause the stars to collapse because the gravitational force becomes the strongest force. It pulls the star inwards.\n\nIf the red giant is big enough, it will contract so quickly a big explosion called "supernova" will occur.\n\nIt's extremely bright and viewable during daylight. The result, a neutron star if the original star is a large star.\n\nIf it's a super-large star, a black hole will be formed. It's called that because no light can escape it including any matter.\n\nReview other answers about black hole for more details. From what I know, a black hole consumes anything for a long term but it is slowly, very slowly dispersing itself. If you want to wait for a black hole to vanish, you will probably have to wait a million years for it to vanish or you just have to find the best one; the oldest black hole.

Also, usually associated with a Low Preassure, but rearly with a cold front or dry line.\nScattered Thunderstorms- A threat for thunderstorms in the area is 60% or above. This means that there will more than likely be thunderstorms associated with a dry line or a cold front. For this to develope with a low preassure, it has to be very powerful.

However, if you're working in C, you\ncan add functional/useful sets using just a small number\nof bitwise and logical operations.\n\nThe basic idea is that a set will be a bit vector,\nand element "i" will be at position "1<<i".\nFor small sets (say, up to 32 or 64), you can\nhold the sets in a scalar variable.

WHERE IS PERSIA?

Persia is also known as Iran. It is in Southwest Asia between Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nThere has been much debate as to what to call Iran in common usage of the English language. The two possible names are Iran and Persia; their adjectives being Iranian and Persian, respectively.\n\nSince 600 BC, Greeks used the name Persis for Persia / Iran. Persis was taken from Old Persian Pars or Parsa - the name of Cyrus's main clan that gave its name also to the region where the Persians lived (modern day province called Fars). Persian people likewise used the name of Younaan (instead of Hellas) for Greece. "Younan" in fact is taken from the name of Ionia, in the south-east of Greece.\n\nIn Latin, the name for the land was Persia. The name "Persia" until 1935 was the "official" name of Iran in the world, but Persian people inside their country since the Sassanian period have called it "Iran" meaning "the land of Aryans", the older version of which had been "Aryanam" as seen in ancient Iranian texts. They also used "Parsa" in the Achaemenids period.

Governmental regulation is to be avoided at all costs, and the more regulation eats into the bottom line the more likely it will be decried as being too "burdensome" to industry. \n\nMarket forces, however, do not favor kindness to the environment in American-style capitalism, which is focused narrowly on short-term profits over long-term viability. \n\nWe all want a nice, clean environment, but the truth is we all secretly hope the other guy is going to be the one paying for it. Given a choice between a shiny new SUV and the latest electric car, Americans choose the SUV. And we will continue to do so until the electric car is at least as good and as cheap. Americans aren't getting fatter by the year because we don't know that Twinkies aren't as good for us as celery sticks, but because we want the damn Twinkies and decide we'll pay the price later, if at all.\n \nEnvironmental regulations are like your Mom's rules-- you know they are there for your own good, but you would probably not follow them if you didn't have to. Republicans by and large think we'll do fine without all the rules. People are nice and do the right thing usually, right? Then again, Democrats aren't exactly charging to battle waving a Green banner these days either are they? They've copped to the fact that most people really want the Twinkie, and they don't like being told they can't have it or have to pay more to get it. While individual Dems may be green, the party as a whole is rather apathetic over the issues unless they can find one like drilling in ANWR that is guaranteed to get good press.\n\nAll that being said, there are certainly extremists within the environmental movement who do not seem to be able to come to grips with the fact that we cannot exist on this planet without making some environmental impacts. These folks are as damaging to the cause of environmentalism as anything occupying a chair in the Capitol. The image of environmentalists as whacked out tree-hugging eco-terrorists who want everyone to subsist on tofu and rainwater doesn't help real environmental issues gain much traction in our esteemed legislature.

i need to know if body knows if eminem has died resently?

I was told today, that he was stabed and there are alot of us that need to know if it is true. We have searched the web and all we get is headlines saying the death of eminem and nothing more. Can u help?

Details of a late night car crash involving Eminem made their way to national media outlets. The story, which began circualting in early-December, claimed the surly rapper was driving a rented Saturn coupe to a late-night party when he lost control. The falsified account described the incident in gory detail: \n\n"...Mathers, who authorities believe was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, was behind the wheel of a Saturn coupe that witnesses say swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle, then lost control and slammed into a grove of trees. The car was crumpled by the impact, making extraction of Mather's body very difficult. He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics who arrived a short time later." \n\nMTV's Web site reportedly claimed to have a photograph and eyewitness accounts of the accident. However, less than two days after the rumor's inception, executives from Eminem's record label posted a statement on his Web site claiming that the contentious Slim Shady was "alive and at home with his family for the holidays in Detroit, " adding, "And he wishes all of you shady holidays and a dirty New Year."

Explain "string theory".?

Does "string theory" connect to the idea of multiple universes? And if so, how many?

Okay, so you know how quantum physics shows us that all points in space, all bits of matter are at any moment both a particle and a wave. And Einstein's special theory of relativity shows us that all light is made of waves. And these two theories combine in interesting ways, but don't completely gel. For decades physicists have been struggling to reconcile the two theories, but they have been unable to do so effectively. Something was always holding them back, basically because the universe seems to be holding more energy than there is space in the points of known mass. This made scientists wonder where all the energy was. And then they discovered, that the space in between the atoms was itself teeming with life. And the life that lives at the bottom of all matter, inside the shell of the tiniest waves of photons, or quanta, is a strange world of simultaneously vibrating strings. And those strings of multi-demensional vibrating pulsating energy play in a kind of metaphysical choir, creating all the intricacies of mass and energy in the universe, as if these tiny little strings were conductors conducting a vast symphony, only they were conducting that symphony with the conductors of all the other symphonies of the atoms they were orchestrating with. And those collections of atoms and molecules and other interesting bits were actually being played by an army of conductors conducting simultaneously with an entire legion of instruments singing and strumming away.\n\nString theory is mind-bogglingly wild, because it's so advanced. It took PBS three hours to explain it completely, and I was still lost. Only when I completed the book about the show's research did I have a deeper grasp of it. Basically you just need to know that these little strings that vibrate in 6, up to 10 dimensions (depending on whose theory applies to that particular "particle" - I told you, it's mind-blowing) and how they vibrate impacts what manifests on the level of perceptible reality.\n\nWhat's so incredible about this is that science is finally catching up to philosophy. The Middle Way, or what Huxley called the Perennial Philosophy, has always told us that the perception of life is merely the perception of imperceptible changes on a fundamental and/or spiritual nature, and the manifestation of those changes in the world that we see around us. In many traditional cultures, those changes are manipulated by otherworldy figures, gods, angels and the like, which is outside the scope of scientists to discern, but in today's physics, the wall between the reality we see and the reality that is real is paper-thin. Scientists are beginning to discover that everything truly is everything, and once they can prove it, life can get a whole lot more sane, because folks will have realized that what we are today is what we were twenty thousand years ago, we are one indescribable circle trailing itslef through time, perhaps even creating subtle vibrations that resonate with other vibrating universes that themselves are creating a reality in a world far, far different than this one, beyond all perceptible consciousness. Perhaps, there may even be a heaven, in which all this is taking place and yet life is going on and on and on, without fear or violence or pain.\n\nEnjoy your continuing discovery of the details behind string theory. It truly is a fascinating subject.

Are only republicans for gun rights? I consider myself more of a Democrat and I am for gun rights and would vote against anyone who would take these rights and freedoms away from americans. The right to bear arms is one of the concepts our government was founded on. I don't think "Republican" or "Democrat" are as simple as black and white. There are in-betweens. There are moderates and conservatives and people of similar and different views in both or our main political parties. I would look at an individual's voting record and their views and vote on their particular views and past behavior rather than just what party they belong to. Vote on your conscious and not just a party. Pick the individual that has the largest number of values in common with yourself. That is what democracy is all about.

My question was, does the Mandelbrot Set have any practial vaule?

Etotheipi asked me for more details on my 2nd question. Are fractals finite or infinite. Some say matter can perhaps be divided just so many times, then we reach a bottom line, so to speak. Are fractals the same? Are they truly infinite, I have heard the have been divided a trillion times, is there no end? Rerun

You ask a number of questions here. I will first say that the Mandelbrot set does not really have any direct practical value.\n\nThe mandelbrot set like other fractals is interesting, in that they are calculated out in iterations, and the number of iterations used determines whether or not a point is in the set. To give an example, you know that if you define a function 2=x+y, you take any two values for x and y and see if they fit that function. x=2, y=3 is not a point that fits this function, whicle x=0.5, y=1.5 does fit this function.\n\nWith the Mandelbrot set, you cannot look at a point and see if it fits the function. The way the madelbrot set is formed is to place imaginary numbers on one axis, real numbers on the other, and define the points as follows:\n\nfor any complex number z, such that z=z^2 + 1, iterated over and over does not ever exceed 2, that number z is part of the set.\n\nThere is only one way to determine if a number z is part of the set and that is to say, we are going to do a certain number of iterations, and if z<2 at the end of our calculations, that z is part of the set, otherwise it is not. This means that whether or not a complex number is part of the madelbrot set depends on the number of iterations you use in your inclusion criteria for z. There is no absolute answer to the question "Is z a part of the madelbrot set?"\n\nSO yes the Mandelbrot set does go on forever, and the more iterations used in calculating it, the more detailed the fractal gets.

The war in Iraq hasn't decreased terrorist attacks at all; rather, Iraq has become a magnet for terrorists.\n6) Make America safer: it's impossible to prove one way or the other, but any added safety we have is at the cost of the lives of American troops and Iraqi civilians.

Bush has already admitted to spying on the public. Not only the internet, but also cell phones, home phones and amassing your personal information without your knowledge. His excuse is the Homeland Security Act. Whatever happened to our personal freedoms including freedom of speech?

Apparently it is, seeing as, since it has become known that he has been spying on citizens without warrants, his ratings have shot up.\n\nI agree with you, our personal freedoms are going down the hole because of his crusade, but the people don't seem to care.\n\nIn response to melvin's answer, I just wanted to say that I don't think anyone has a problem with the government spying on non-citizens, it's citizens we have a problem with. He should be getting warrants to gather information about citizens' activity. He can even do it after the fact in FISA court, but he's decided that's not good enough.

Who owns Bentley? Rolls Royce? What happened with that entire sale and the brands and the factories?

In 1998, Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors was purchased from Vickers (its owner since 1980) by Volkswagen for £430 million, after bidding against BMW. BMW had recently started supplying components for the new range of cars, notably V8 engines for the Bentley Arnage and V12 engines for the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. The Rolls-Royce name was not included in VW's purchase; it was instead licensed to BMW (for £40 million) by the Rolls-Royce aero engine company.\n\nBMW and Volkswagen came to an agreement whereby Volkswagen would manufacture both Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars until the end of 2002, whereupon the right to build Rolls-Royce cars would be BMW's alone. During this period, Volkswagen reduced its reliance on BMW as a supplier: as of 2003, BMW engines are not used in Bentley cars.

What do you think about homosexual fathers adopting children? Do you know of any good resources?

I am researching this topic. Please let me know of any good places I could receive information!

I support it completely. The idea that a child needs both a mother and a father is outdated (in my opinion) and seems to me to be stictly for social roles. We like to use the mother and father to show children how they should act, but in this day and age gender roles are being blurred and nearly erased (about time). I think that two men are extremely capible of raising a child on their own and probably would do it better (or at least as well) as a heterosexual couple. And the mere thought that just because they are gay that they will 'fool around' with their kids is completely ludicrous. By that logic, a heterosexual father would molest his daughter and a heterosexual mother her son. The people who want to adopt have to go through the same strict standards that heterosexual couples go through (if not more strict) so they are actually putting effort into trying to raise a child- so they are not taking it lightly and wouldnt do anything to have the child taken away. NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THEY HAVE TO INVEST JUST TO HAVE A SHOT OF HAVING A KID. \nSure, some might not think it through all the way, but the same goes with heterosexual couples. Jesus Christ...

what is ORION ?

Orion (ōrī'ən) , in Greek mythology, Boeotian hunter. When Oenopion delayed giving his daughter Merope to him, Orion, when drunk, violated her. Oenopion then blinded him, but his vision was restored by the rays of the sun.\n\n The story of Orion's death has many versions. Some state he offended Artemis, who killed him. Others say that he became her favorite hunting companion, but offended Apollo, who loosed a giant scorpion to chase Orion into the sea. Apollo then tricked Artemis into shooting Orion. When she discovered what she had done, she gave way to her grief and immortalized her companion and the scorpion by placing them in the heavens as constellations.\n\n\n\nOrion, in astronomy, constellation located on the celestial equator. It is one of the most conspicuous and easily recognizable constellations in the entire sky. From ancient times it has been mentioned in the literature of many peoples and is traditionally depicted as the figure of a warrior. Four bright stars form a quadrangle marking his shoulders and feet; brilliant red Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) at his right shoulder, Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis) at his left shoulder, and dazzling Rigel (Beta Orionis) at his left foot are all among the 25 brightest stars in the sky, while Saiph (Kappa Orionis) at the right foot is of second magnitude. \n\nThree bright second-magnitude stars form a belt almost along the celestial equator; hanging from the belt is a sword of dimmer stars and including the famous Great Nebula (M42). Orion reaches its highest point in the evening sky in late January.\n\nSee pic\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/Orion_constellation_map.png/300px-Orion_constellation_map.png\n\nAlso, The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a glowing emission nebula with a greenish hue and is situated below Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of about 1,600 light years from the planet Earth, is 33 light years across, and is one of the brightest diffuse nebula that can be seen in the night sky.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Nebula
