5,800	1Science & Mathematics	what part of the brain is invloved duirng a stroke if the risorius crease is affected?		The risorius crease is formed next to the risorius muscle near the jaw. The Risorius starts at the back of the jaw, and pulls on the corner of the mouth. \nMRI studies have confirmed the location in the brain for the triggering of this muscle. The text that goes with the scan is:\n\n“Top row shows a control subject alternating rest with unilateral (right) contraction of the risorius, a lower face muscle. Activation is approximately equal in the right and left primary sensorimotor cortex.”\n\nThis appears to be near the temple area. For the actual pictures see the reference site below:
5,801	5Sports	How do i make a fair and simple tournament chart for 10 people?		depending on sport and time involved to play. I would recommend everyone play every one else first round. this would be nine games per person. best record (if 9-0) would win, second round would be based on top records from first round. should only be 5 or less in second round. but you could continue this format with top records from each round until only one person remains.

5,803	1Science & Mathematics	Why do we always see the same side of the moon from earth?		The earth exerts a powerful gravitational attraction for the moon (the moon also exerts a similar but lesser attraction for the earth that raises tides both in the ocean and to a lesser extent in the earth's crust that move about the earth as it spins). The earth's attraction has raised a bulge in the moon facing earth that is therefore slightly closer to the earth and more strongly attracted. If a huge meteor struck the moon (as in the past) trying to rotate it, it would have to overcome the earth's attraction for the bulge; thus the moon always faces its bulge toward the earth. If the moon did spin at one time, the bulge would have helped arrest the motion relative to earth as it deleloped and froze solid.

5,808	4Computers & Internet	Why is it that my dell hp-oq065b83 adapter has no power LED Signal Even plugged?		If the laptop or the battery are powering up when the adapter is plugged in then, the LED may be faulty. If the laptop does not power up or the battery doesnot charge then the adapter is definitely faulty. Also try plugging the adapter into different wall socket. If your adapter has a detachable "kettle lead" with plug, then try chaning this lead.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk

5,810	9Politics & Government	how much will my child support be for 1 child with a 30,000 a year income in Virginia?	I am in commission sales. only 800 per month is salary. I also pay for my childs medical ins.	You've provided far too little information for anyone to answer the question adequately. I've included a couple of links on Virginia child support generally, including a child support calculator, where you can use more specific information to estimate the total amount. I hope it helps, and if you post another question with more specific information, I'd be happy to help.\n\nEDIT: According to the State, "Shared and split custody arrangements are usually more complicated, often involve litigation, and generally include many unique variables. For these reasons, they do not lend themselves well to generic calculators because results can vary widely, and can often be affected by variables not included in a calculator." I've included that link below also. I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain a quick and easy answer regarding child support in a joint custody situation. You'll have to contact your attorney, or the state. The information for the state is on the DSS's web site.

Just in the year 1956, to be exact, on June 12 (the anniversary of the declaration of independence) the parliament in Manila passes a law (Republic Act Number 1425) which decreed the entire works of Rizal as teaching material in all private and public schools and universities. Since the correspondence with Blumentritt represents the biggest portion of Rizal's exchange of letters it can be said with full justification that Blumentritt is known to practically every schoolchild in the Philippines.

5,820	2Health	how does lupus affect children in Western New york, where can i get info on it?		Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues as though they were foreign substances. Lupus is not contagious.\nThere are many possible causes for lupus, including genetic defect, chemical exposure (anything from contaminated well water to (suspectedly) hair dye), and even as a result of some medications. Symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, skin problems, sensitivity to light, fever, nervous system problems, and many more. For more information go to webmd.com and just type in lupus in the search field.

Interbrands does an annual study of the largest global brands\n\nIf you are looking for which brands are the biggest in terms of market share, it gets trickier. There are brand share statistics from vendors such as Gartner, IDC, Forrester, etc. There are also some statistics from industry associations. However, in the electronics space, most vendors sell into multiple categories - often making share difficult to identify.\n\nIf you are asking what is best for your business - go to Gartner or Forrester - one of the buyer-side analysts

5,827	1Science & Mathematics	How much energy is required in Joules to heat water from -20°C to 120°C ?		You of course need to add heat in five separate steps:\n\n1. Heat the ice from -20C to 0C\n2. Melt the ice at 0C\n3. Heat the water from 0C to 100C\n4. Boil the water at 100C\n5. Heat the steam to 120C\n\nThe last step (5.) will depend on whether the steam is saturated at an elevated pressure or superheated at one atmosphere which you don't specify.\n\nThe rest is pure calculation using the values for specific heat for ice, water and steam plus the latent heat of freezing (reversed) and the latent heat for evaporation. Engineers would use a steam table or charts to evalute the steam portion of the problem.
5,828	0Society & Culture	Is Calgary in Canada a good place to settle in?		Yes, depending on what you want to do. For a career, there is lots of opportunity. The cost of living isn't bad compared to most large cities. Personal taxes are low for Canada. There is a lot of racial diversity, but most of us get along fine. You are close to the rocky mountains.\nTraffic is bad at times. Weather is not the greatest; It doesn't get really cold, but the summer is a little too cold and rainy.\nWhat sort of criteria did you have in mind, what sort of things are you looking for, and what do you want to avoid?

5,835	6Business & Finance	I have a samll Rigoletto accordion that is over 50 years old, very good condition. What's it worth?		You can check Ebay to get a sense of what accordions cost. In my experience, a 50-year-old accordion is unlikely to be worth more than a few hundred dollars unless it is one of the major quality brands, such as excelsior. Even then, it is likely to be no more than $800-1000 if it is in really good condition and a full size top-of-the-line model.\nHere's the problem--older accordions often need substantial repairs, and the accordion is so complex that few can repair them effectively. So people are not likely to want to spend much on an older accordion unless it was quality to begin with, and still is in great shape.\nYour Rigoletto apparently also goes under the name of Lingnatone or Delicia, a Czechoslovakian manufacturer. See the links below for a list of most accordion brands, and also for information about used accordions.
5,836	1Science & Mathematics	What is a Graupel?	Head a reporter use the word. Any clue what a Graupel is?

5,838	2Health	identify srtatigies to person want to eat in ahealthy way?	nutrition	The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay. Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].
5,839	1Science & Mathematics	Why was Einstein not successful in finding the perfect equation to his question?		Because he wasn't looking at the whole picture in the first place. He largely discarded the efforts around Quantum Mechanics, which described the environment of the very small. The big crux was the stark differences between Gravity and Electro Magnetism, which were impossible to bring together under the constraints of general relativity.\n\nHis goal for unification of the Universes forces is still a pursuit of today's physicists.
5,840	6Business & Finance	Why do people believe in God?	Specifically, a provident deity that involves itself in the world, not just the cause of existence.	Ok let me put this in practical manner. I don't know about others but I believe on God because God given me a second chance in life. If I'm alive today it is because of God's wish. It was horrible accident and no hope was left but you know god makes some sort of magic and you start to believe in supreme power. I think until and unless you don't face problem in life (until some miracle happens), you will not get idea about God, IMPO. I'm also agree with Lady Xia.

Diabetes is an inbalance in blood sugar, cause by problems with insulin, produced in the spleen.When you have diabetes, your blood sugar fluctauates, and does not utilize the homeostasis that normal people's body does. No known cure yet.
5,843	2Health	My husband starts choking sometimes when he is eating. I don't think it's Gerd. Waht could it be?		If this has been going on his whole life, he may have an unclosed diaphragm. He would need to see a doctor to find out if that is what it is.
5,844	4Computers & Internet	does amd outperform intel?		Yes, and no.\n\nOverall, they both work the same way. However, they do it in different ways. This is why they often give what looks like conflicting results on benchmarks.\n\nAMD uses a RISC processor. RISC is much more efficent then the X86 processor that Intel uses. This is why Apple uses RISC, and has done so since the beginning.\n\nIn many things, RISC is superior to X86. Scientific number crunching, video compression, and audio compression are among those. This is why AMD is often favored in those areas.\n\nThe X86 is better for raw number crunching though, which is why it is normally favored among those that use CAD and CAD related software.\n\nBecause of the RISC processor, AMD is able to outperform Intel when it comes to comparing GHz to GHz. An AMD CPU that runs at around 2 GHz will outperform an Intel CPU that runs at 2 GHz every time. This is why AMD processors do not follow GHz, but use a number that simulates how fast it would be if it was an Intel processor.\n\nAn Athlon 64 3500+ runs at only 2.2 GHz, but it performs just like an Intel P4 that runs at 3.5 GHz. This is because of the more efficient processor. And the lower speed means that the chip pulls less power and generates less heat then the one that runs at 3.5 GHz.

5,848	6Business & Finance	How is the price of a share of stock determined?	If I want to buy some shares of stock and the price at that moment is $90, who sets it or how is it calculated at $90 and not $91 or $89.	The laws of supply and demand determine the price. If the current price is $90 and no seller is willing to sell for less than $90 while buyers are willing to pay no more than $91, then the next several trades would likely occur at prices between $90 and $91.\n\nTypical trading ranges in the short term are much tigher than this. So typically the range would be just a few pennies.

5,852	4Computers & Internet	what is meant by Congestion Control?		Any IP sender can blast data faster than the recipient or the network can handle. This can lead to an endless cycle of retransmissions. TCP uses congestion control to dynamically adjust the sliding window of the sender to adapt to the perceived available bandwidth between the sender and receiver. \n\nMore detail: http://www.borella.net/mike/MITP432/09%20tcp.pdf

5,856	6Business & Finance	Which would be the better return on my investment: selling a house needing repair as is or making repairs 1st?		Remodeling Online conducts an annual survey of the cost of recouping projects by project and region. (See link below).\n\nMy suggestion would be to make a list of improvement projects, and then talk to a local realtor familiar with your area about how much value they would add. \n\nIf you sold it today, as is, how long would it take to sell and what would you ask? \n\nIf you took [X] months to make [Y] repairs, how long would it take then?
5,857	1Science & Mathematics	In space/universe when light falls on any object only then we can see color, then why it is called Black hole?		Because a "black hole" has a gravitational field so strong, light cannot escape. Therefore, all we can see is that nothing is there, which appears like "blackness" to us, and since light "falls" into it, it's a "hole".\n\nThus, black hole.

5,860	9Politics & Government	Are there any weapons/robotic research jobs in the military?	I just took the ASVAB and scored in the top 82 percentile. Is that good enough to allow me to get a job in engineering/science reseach feilds if there are any in the military?\n(The minimal score to get into the military is a 31)	Most military engineering jobs are farmed out to private industry. The military only gets directly involved in field testing the new weapons systems once the private companies have done all the research and development. \n\nIf you really have an interest in this field, you need to go to college and get yourself an engineering degree. Then, if you can't get hired by a company that's doing the research you want to be involved in, at least you can come into the military as an Officer instead of a grunt.
5,861	3Education & Reference	Why do we have words like dishonest (and not "unhonest") and unhappy (and not "dishappy")?	Prefixes such as un-, dis-, ir-, il-, etc., negates adjectives they are attached to. Are there "rules" or "patterns" that tells you which prefix attaches to which class of adjectives or words ?	The English language consists of many words which have germanic/celtic origins, others have latin ones. You find negation prefixes like "dis" or "im" on those words which originally come from latin. There are of course exceptions (unpleasant for example). Sometimes both possibilities exist but mean something slightly different. Compare "immortal" with "undead". But there are synonyms. For your examples:\n\nunhappy: disconsolate\ndishonest: untrustworthy\n\nIt is quite interesting to consult a thesaurus and find the equivalents with germanic/celtic origin to the latin ones and vice versa.
5,862	1Science & Mathematics	What are the differences b/w a crane, a stark & a flamingo?	Try giving their scientific names too	Cranes are large, long-legged and long-necked birds of the order Gruiformes, and family Gruidae. Unlike the similar-looking but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back. Most have elaborate and noisy courting displays or "dances". They mate for life. Some species of cranes migrate over long distances, while cranes in warm climates do not migrate at all. Cranes are gregarious, forming large flocks where their numbers are sufficient. Species of crane -\n * Common Crane, Grus grus, also known as the Eurasian Crane\n * Sandhill Crane, Grus canadensis\n * Whooping Crane, Grus americana\n * Sarus Crane, Grus antigone\n * Brolga, Grus rubicunda\n * Siberian Crane, Grus leucogeranus\n * White-naped Crane, Grus vipio\n * Hooded Crane, Grus monacha\n * Black-necked Crane, Grus nigricollis\n * Red-crowned Crane, Grus japonensis\n * Blue Crane, Anthropoides paradisea\n * Demoiselle Crane, Anthropoides virgo\n * Black-crowned Crane, Balearica pavonina\n * Grey-crowned Crane, Balearica regulorum\n * Wattled Crane, Bugeranus carunculatus\n\n\nThe storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long stout bills. They occur in most of the warmer regions of the world. They tend to live in drier habitats than their relatives the herons, spoonbills and ibises, and lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish slime.

The Frank Starling mechanism states that for every increase in fiber length, the heart will increase it's contractility. This is the mechanism by which congestive heart failure takes place. As the heart works harder against an increase in blood pressure, it dilates, this increases the fiber length and the heart contracts harder. If it has to contract harder for long periods of time (high blood pressure for 20 years), it tires out and eventually, you will have lung edema, and poor peripheral perfusion.

My boyfriend pays monthly child support for his daughter, this child support is based upon his income (he is in California, so is the child). If we get married, will my income be used in the child support calculation? Is there a potential that the child support may have to be raised?	NO...the US Supreme Court ruled several years ago that the prior assets and current income of a parent's spouse (In this case, you) cannot be presumed to be available for the purposes of child support or spousal support, even in states where all income is otherwise considered to be community property and all debts considered to be joint obligations...that means you are not legally on the hook for his kids and his ex wife can't try to get your house...in a nutshell.\nIf you two marry and he stops working or something, they can haul his tail to prison if they have cause to believe that he's willfully avoiding his obligation, but your paycheck cannot be considered in deciding or fulfilling his support order.\nYou will want to consult an attorney specialising in family law about specifics such as whether you should file your taxes jointly or seperately, how a jointly purchased home should be deeded and to draw up a prenuptual agreement about any inheritance you may recieve in the future and MAKE OUT A WILL....Both of you.\n(the Supreme Court ruling left some confusion about the distribution of assets aquired by one party but within the marriage)

MEN TEND TO GET LAZY-- WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE BODY GETS LAZY TOO. Don't let your drive shaft go down the drain because your 50+ and have started to age. AGE IS WISDOM + KNOWLEDGE. But on the other hand, if your body (drive shaft) only looks down at the ground, then perhaps you might purchase a new rocking chair so the both of you can sit through it all. In any event, Get out there and have some fun. Keep that blood in your body moving. When it moves .. you need to move with it. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN, THEY'LL GET OLD TOO!

5,881	1Science & Mathematics	Are viruses alive or non-living?		Anyone with a cold or the flu virus feels as if they are under attack by some organism. But in the scientific community it's still an open-ended question. This is why viruses do not belong to a kingdom of living things. Just because a virus seems alive doesn't mean it is alive. After all, it's not even a single-celled organism.\n\nA virus is little more than a strand of DNA or RNA covered by a protein coating. Viruses are a thousand times smaller than bacteria and come in a wide range of shapes. Some look like weird, tall spiders whereas others look like prickly porcupinelike soccer balls.\n\nOne thing is for sure; viruses are very much a part of life on Earth and the human experience. Viruses infect animals, plants, and even bacteria. Humans are in a constant battle with viruses. HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), the Ebola virus, and the West Nile virus continue to make headlines and take millions of lives.\n\nOther maladies, such as colds, the flu, chicken pox, measles, and hepatitis, are more common, but sometimes just as deadly. Symptoms vary depending on which kind of cell is under attack. Cold viruses attack the nose and throat, the rabies virus attacks the brain and nervous system, and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks white blood cells in the bloodstream. Viruses can even cause some kinds of cancers and leukemia

I have a question for you.I am 21 yrs old and my girlfriend is 20.I found out that I have genetal warts 2 years ago .And it was too late to protect my girl ,so she got it too.After that we started going to our family doctors to treat the warts.Then we found out that she has a mildly up-normal Pap smear .So the doctor choose to freeze her vergaina.6 months later we checked a new pap and it was normal all the way. Now we are one year away from the last pap . my girlfriend i soo scared to go do another one because she dosn not wanna find a new thing wrong with her ..Please tell me what should i do..She thinks she will get cancer \nPlease e mail me back.	Genital warts are the most common STD there is. I read somewhere that over 90% of all humans carry it.\nAre genital warts serious?\n\n * They can be. For most people warts are only a bother, and are treated if you wish. If a woman has warts on the cervix (opening to the womb), they can be a problem. It is rare, but sometimes having warts can cause a woman to have a pap smear that is not normal, (including changes that may lead to cancer). For this reason, women with warts on the cervix should have a pap smear test (part of a pelvic exam) every six months to one year. Men and women who have warts on or inside the anus should have an exam every year.
5,885	0Society & Culture	Why are gay people so persecuted?	It does seem odd the degree to which gay people are so despised, ostensibly for religious reasons. What about all the other passages in Leviticus about not eating shellfish/pork, not using mixed fabric, and never getting divorced?\n\nIt seems odd that so many people are so focused on Leviticus 18:12 (gay=sin), when so many other things that are mentioned as sins are completely ignored.	A historical/anthropological answer might go along the lines of:\n\nHomosexuality was rife in Greek and Roman societies as it was in many other pagan societies. The early Judeans opposed Greek and Roman oppression and occupation and responded by targeting the fabric of their society by making Laws or interpreting laws (e.g. idol worship became blasphemous, homosexuality became an abomination and women were not to be treated as slaves - tho the Bible records periods when this was not the case - and some traditions continued to view women as second class citizens).\n\nThen came the Christian era.\n\nThis semi-monotheistic faith saw the bible as a pic-n-mix. One minute the Law dictated to Moses at Mount Sinai is what makes you a sinner and you dont need the Law anyway cos belief in Jesus is all that is required, the next your actions and behaviour are all important when certain things offend Paul (e.g. women and homosexuals).\n\nIf it werent for Pauline Christianity, Christianity today would either follow the Law more closely like Judaism (and thus still be a sect of Judaism) or it would have only two rules (love God and your neighbour) and no Law.\n\nThe reason for this schism is the dilemma that faced Paul. On the one hand, Paul sought to form a new religion (after his attempts to 'convert' Jews were unsuccessful) but also needed the "old" one for legitimacy (it was the one God of Israel that gave the Law at Mount Sinai, how could Paul - a mere mortal - cancel the Law of God given to man at Mount Sinai? Interestingly in the original Greek texts, one way Paul got around this was to express that he was the reincarnation of Jesus and therefore also the son of God).\n\nIf you want to read more on whether it was Jesus or Paul who invented Christianity, see the links below.\n\nFinally, I'd like to say that whatever people believe about your sexuality, it is just their belief. You should stick two fingers up to them and get on with your life. There's a reason you were created the way you were - it's just a shame these religions can't appreciate that. However, that is their limit, not yours.

A man pays his debts" \nA powerful film written by Paul Schrader and Robert Towne and directed by Sydney Pollack, The Yakuza takes an in depth look at Japan as seen from western eyes.\n\nA big step forward from previous American films based in Japan, most notably Marlon Brando's The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956) which cast Brando in "yellowface" as the Japanese character "Sakini" and Sayonara (1957), featuring Ricardo Montalban as the Japanese character "Nakamura".\n\nWarner Bros paid Paul and his brother Leonard the then record sum of $325,000.00 USD for their debut story which would provide Paul his break into Hollywood and go on to pen the Scorcese classics Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980). Robert Aldrich was originally pegged to direct but Robert Mitchum, who had worked with Aldrich on the dismal The Angry Hills (1959), had him replaced by Pollack.\n\nThough now dated, "The Yakuza" remains a rich and poignant look at Japan during its transition from its role in the war and the US occupation to the ecconomic powerhouse of the 1980s. Its influences can be seen in contemporary movies such Black Rain (1989), Brother (2001), Kill Bill (2004) and Into the Sun (2005).

1Science & Mathematics

Why do we always see the same side of the moon from earth?

The earth exerts a powerful gravitational attraction for the moon (the moon also exerts a similar but lesser attraction for the earth that raises tides both in the ocean and to a lesser extent in the earth's crust that move about the earth as it spins). The earth's attraction has raised a bulge in the moon facing earth that is therefore slightly closer to the earth and more strongly attracted. If a huge meteor struck the moon (as in the past) trying to rotate it, it would have to overcome the earth's attraction for the bulge; thus the moon always faces its bulge toward the earth. If the moon did spin at one time, the bulge would have helped arrest the motion relative to earth as it deleloped and froze solid.

I am in commission sales. only 800 per month is salary. I also pay for my childs medical ins.

You've provided far too little information for anyone to answer the question adequately. I've included a couple of links on Virginia child support generally, including a child support calculator, where you can use more specific information to estimate the total amount. I hope it helps, and if you post another question with more specific information, I'd be happy to help.\n\nEDIT: According to the State, "Shared and split custody arrangements are usually more complicated, often involve litigation, and generally include many unique variables. For these reasons, they do not lend themselves well to generic calculators because results can vary widely, and can often be affected by variables not included in a calculator." I've included that link below also. I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain a quick and easy answer regarding child support in a joint custody situation.

How much energy is required in Joules to heat water from -20°C to 120°C ?

You of course need to add heat in five separate steps:\n\n1. Heat the ice from -20C to 0C\n2. Melt the ice at 0C\n3. Heat the water from 0C to 100C\n4. Boil the water at 100C\n5. Heat the steam to 120C\n\nThe last step (5.) will depend on whether the steam is saturated at an elevated pressure or superheated at one atmosphere which you don't specify.\n\nThe rest is pure calculation using the values for specific heat for ice, water and steam plus the latent heat of freezing (reversed) and the latent heat for evaporation. Engineers would use a steam table or charts to evalute the steam portion of the problem.

I have a samll Rigoletto accordion that is over 50 years old, very good condition. What's it worth?

You can check Ebay to get a sense of what accordions cost. In my experience, a 50-year-old accordion is unlikely to be worth more than a few hundred dollars unless it is one of the major quality brands, such as excelsior. Even then, it is likely to be no more than $800-1000 if it is in really good condition and a full size top-of-the-line model.\nHere's the problem--older accordions often need substantial repairs, and the accordion is so complex that few can repair them effectively. So people are not likely to want to spend much on an older accordion unless it was quality to begin with, and still is in great shape.\nYour Rigoletto apparently also goes under the name of Lingnatone or Delicia, a Czechoslovakian manufacturer. See the links below for a list of most accordion brands, and also for information about used accordions.

identify srtatigies to person want to eat in ahealthy way?

nutrition

The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay. Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].

4Computers & Internet

does amd outperform intel?

Yes, and no.\n\nOverall, they both work the same way. However, they do it in different ways. This is why they often give what looks like conflicting results on benchmarks.\n\nAMD uses a RISC processor. RISC is much more efficent then the X86 processor that Intel uses. This is why Apple uses RISC, and has done so since the beginning.\n\nIn many things, RISC is superior to X86. Scientific number crunching, video compression, and audio compression are among those. This is why AMD is often favored in those areas.\n\nThe X86 is better for raw number crunching though, which is why it is normally favored among those that use CAD and CAD related software.\n\nBecause of the RISC processor, AMD is able to outperform Intel when it comes to comparing GHz to GHz. An AMD CPU that runs at around 2 GHz will outperform an Intel CPU that runs at 2 GHz every time. This is why AMD processors do not follow GHz, but use a number that simulates how fast it would be if it was an Intel processor.\n\nAn Athlon 64 3500+ runs at only 2.2 GHz, but it performs just like an Intel P4 that runs at 3.5 GHz. This is because of the more efficient processor. And the lower speed means that the chip pulls less power and generates less heat then the one that runs at 3.5 GHz.

How is the price of a share of stock determined?

If I want to buy some shares of stock and the price at that moment is $90, who sets it or how is it calculated at $90 and not $91 or $89.

The laws of supply and demand determine the price. If the current price is $90 and no seller is willing to sell for less than $90 while buyers are willing to pay no more than $91, then the next several trades would likely occur at prices between $90 and $91.\n\nTypical trading ranges in the short term are much tigher than this.

The English language consists of many words which have germanic/celtic origins, others have latin ones. You find negation prefixes like "dis" or "im" on those words which originally come from latin. There are of course exceptions (unpleasant for example). Sometimes both possibilities exist but mean something slightly different. Compare "immortal" with "undead". But there are synonyms.

Cranes are large, long-legged and long-necked birds of the order Gruiformes, and family Gruidae. Unlike the similar-looking but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back. Most have elaborate and noisy courting displays or "dances". They mate for life. Some species of cranes migrate over long distances, while cranes in warm climates do not migrate at all. Cranes are gregarious, forming large flocks where their numbers are sufficient. Species of crane -\n * Common Crane, Grus grus, also known as the Eurasian Crane\n * Sandhill Crane, Grus canadensis\n * Whooping Crane, Grus americana\n * Sarus Crane, Grus antigone\n * Brolga, Grus rubicunda\n * Siberian Crane, Grus leucogeranus\n * White-naped Crane, Grus vipio\n * Hooded Crane, Grus monacha\n * Black-necked Crane, Grus nigricollis\n * Red-crowned Crane, Grus japonensis\n * Blue Crane, Anthropoides paradisea\n * Demoiselle Crane, Anthropoides virgo\n * Black-crowned Crane, Balearica pavonina\n * Grey-crowned Crane, Balearica regulorum\n * Wattled Crane, Bugeranus carunculatus\n\n\nThe storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long stout bills. They occur in most of the warmer regions of the world. They tend to live in drier habitats than their relatives the herons, spoonbills and ibises, and lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish slime. Storks lack a pharynx and are mute; bill-clattering is an important mode of stork communication at the nest.\n * Genus Mycteria\n o Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea)\n o Yellow-billed Stork (Mycteria ibis)\n o Painted Stork ( Mycteria leucocephala)\n o Wood Stork (Mycteria americana)\n * Genus Anastomus\n o Asian Openbill Stork, Anastomus oscitans\n o African Openbill Stork, Anastomus lamelligerus\n * Genus Ciconia\n o Abdim's Stork, Ciconia abdimii\n o Woolly-necked Stork, Ciconia episcopus\n o Storm's Stork, Ciconia stormi\n o Maguari Stork, Ciconia maguari\n o Oriental White Stork, Ciconia boyciana\n o White Stork Ciconia ciconia\n o Black Stork Ciconia nigra\n * Genus Ephippiorhynchus\n o Black-necked Stork, Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus\n o Saddle-billed Stork, Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis\n * Genus Jabiru\n o Jabiru Jabiru mycteria\n * Genus Leptoptilus\n o Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus\n o Greater Adjutant, Leptoptilos dubius\n o Marabou Stork, Leptoptilos crumeniferus\n\n\nFlamingos (genus Phoenicopterus monotypic in family Phoenicopteridae) are gregarious wading birds, usually 3–5 feet in height, found in both the western and eastern hemispheres. They are more numerous in the latter, but there are four species in the Americas against two in the Old World. Flamingos live in large flocks in aquatic areas.\nDifferent species of flamingos - \nPhoenicopterus roseus\nPhoenicopterus minor\nPhoenicopterus jamesi\nPhoenicopterus andinus\nPhoenicopterus chilensis\nPhoenicopterus ruber

Are viruses alive or non-living?

Anyone with a cold or the flu virus feels as if they are under attack by some organism. But in the scientific community it's still an open-ended question. This is why viruses do not belong to a kingdom of living things. Just because a virus seems alive doesn't mean it is alive. After all, it's not even a single-celled organism.\n\nA virus is little more than a strand of DNA or RNA covered by a protein coating. Viruses are a thousand times smaller than bacteria and come in a wide range of shapes. Some look like weird, tall spiders whereas others look like prickly porcupinelike soccer balls.\n\nOne thing is for sure; viruses are very much a part of life on Earth and the human experience. Viruses infect animals, plants, and even bacteria. Humans are in a constant battle with viruses. HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), the Ebola virus, and the West Nile virus continue to make headlines and take millions of lives.\n\nOther maladies, such as colds, the flu, chicken pox, measles, and hepatitis, are more common, but sometimes just as deadly. Symptoms vary depending on which kind of cell is under attack. Cold viruses attack the nose and throat, the rabies virus attacks the brain and nervous system, and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks white blood cells in the bloodstream. Viruses can even cause some kinds of cancers and leukemia

Do u think evanescence would still be a good band if they had cussing in their songs?

In my opinion, cussing only plays a part in who will listen to these songs. Like myself for example. I dislike swearing in songs. It's not necessary. So I don't listen to songs with swearing. Other people may not care so they listen to it. Hope I helped you!

Question about genetal warts?

I have a question for you.I am 21 yrs old and my girlfriend is 20.I found out that I have genetal warts 2 years ago .And it was too late to protect my girl ,so she got it too.After that we started going to our family doctors to treat the warts.Then we found out that she has a mildly up-normal Pap smear .So the doctor choose to freeze her vergaina.6 months later we checked a new pap and it was normal all the way. Now we are one year away from the last pap . my girlfriend i soo scared to go do another one because she dosn not wanna find a new thing wrong with her ..Please tell me what should i do..She thinks she will get cancer \nPlease e mail me back.

Genital warts are the most common STD there is. I read somewhere that over 90% of all humans carry it.\nAre genital warts serious?\n\n * They can be. For most people warts are only a bother, and are treated if you wish. If a woman has warts on the cervix (opening to the womb), they can be a problem. It is rare, but sometimes having warts can cause a woman to have a pap smear that is not normal, (including changes that may lead to cancer). For this reason, women with warts on the cervix should have a pap smear test (part of a pelvic exam) every six months to one year. Men and women who have warts on or inside the anus should have an exam every year.

Why are gay people so persecuted?

It does seem odd the degree to which gay people are so despised, ostensibly for religious reasons. What about all the other passages in Leviticus about not eating shellfish/pork, not using mixed fabric, and never getting divorced?\n\nIt seems odd that so many people are so focused on Leviticus 18:12 (gay=sin), when so many other things that are mentioned as sins are completely ignored.

A historical/anthropological answer might go along the lines of:\n\nHomosexuality was rife in Greek and Roman societies as it was in many other pagan societies. The early Judeans opposed Greek and Roman oppression and occupation and responded by targeting the fabric of their society by making Laws or interpreting laws (e.g. idol worship became blasphemous, homosexuality became an abomination and women were not to be treated as slaves - tho the Bible records periods when this was not the case - and some traditions continued to view women as second class citizens).\n\nThen came the Christian era.\n\nThis semi-monotheistic faith saw the bible as a pic-n-mix. One minute the Law dictated to Moses at Mount Sinai is what makes you a sinner and you dont need the Law anyway cos belief in Jesus is all that is required, the next your actions and behaviour are all important when certain things offend Paul (e.g. women and homosexuals).\n\nIf it werent for Pauline Christianity, Christianity today would either follow the Law more closely like Judaism (and thus still be a sect of Judaism) or it would have only two rules (love God and your neighbour) and no Law.\n\nThe reason for this schism is the dilemma that faced Paul. On the one hand, Paul sought to form a new religion (after his attempts to 'convert' Jews were unsuccessful) but also needed the "old" one for legitimacy (it was the one God of Israel that gave the Law at Mount Sinai, how could Paul - a mere mortal - cancel the Law of God given to man at Mount Sinai? Interestingly in the original Greek texts, one way Paul got around this was to express that he was the reincarnation of Jesus and therefore also the son of God).\n\nIf you want to read more on whether it was Jesus or Paul who invented Christianity, see the links below.\n\nFinally, I'd like to say that whatever people believe about your sexuality, it is just their belief. You should stick two fingers up to them and get on with your life. There's a reason you were created the way you were - it's just a shame these religions can't appreciate that. However, that is their limit, not yours.

Is it possible to be alergic to beans?

When I was pregnant with my second child I found that eating beans would make my chest tight, it felt like I could never eat again. Since then I have had this issue, pretty much every time I eat any kind of bean it feels like my throat closes up. Is this an alergy? I'm better in a couple hours & don't have any kind of rash... it's just odd.

Yes- it definately sounds like an allergy. Allergies don't necessarily show themselves as rashes. I would definately not eat them again especially since it compromises your breathing.

how do you make a popular guy like you?

it depends on if you already are friends with him or you are just trying to make him like you without even talking to him before. if you are already friends with him, hang out with him more. the more a person hangs out with another person the more attatched they become to the other person. if you don't know him, try to make yourself more noticeable. try to stand out more. popular guys like girls that look good and have great personalities.

A man pays his debts" \nA powerful film written by Paul Schrader and Robert Towne and directed by Sydney Pollack, The Yakuza takes an in depth look at Japan as seen from western eyes.\n\nA big step forward from previous American films based in Japan, most notably Marlon Brando's The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956) which cast Brando in "yellowface" as the Japanese character "Sakini" and Sayonara (1957), featuring Ricardo Montalban as the Japanese character "Nakamura".\n\nWarner Bros paid Paul and his brother Leonard the then record sum of $325,000.00 USD for their debut story which would provide Paul his break into Hollywood and go on to pen the Scorcese classics Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980). Robert Aldrich was originally pegged to direct but Robert Mitchum, who had worked with Aldrich on the dismal The Angry Hills (1959), had him replaced by Pollack.\n\nThough now dated, "The Yakuza" remains a rich and poignant look at Japan during its transition from its role in the war and the US occupation to the ecconomic powerhouse of the 1980s. Its influences can be seen in contemporary movies such Black Rain (1989), Brother (2001), Kill Bill (2004) and Into the Sun (2005).
