three words in the english language that end in gry?
|
The REAL question reads:\n"Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?"`\n\nOver time, this riddle has been distorted from a simple riddle to a word challenge. Besides Angry and Hungry, other English words that qualify are iggry, mawgry, and aggry- not common or even current English.\n\nWithout the rest of the riddle, there IS NO GOOD ANSWER!\n\nHowever, if you treat it like the riddle it is, the answer is simple, obvious, and satisfying.\n\nClue: The first sentence is a red herring- ignore it.\n\nFor the 'right' solution, try one of the links below.

Would universal health care be good for America?
|
In America there is universal free public education afforded all citizens. Equal access to rich or poor. Yet, 30 million Americans have no health insurance. Is not the universal good health of American citizens also important as is universal education? And would not having universal good health coverage make us a stronger and more vigorous nation?
|
A definate yes. It's hard to implement though, especially with the current state of the economy and government...

how can I get relief from my neck pain?
|
It depends on why your neck is aching. It could be due to poor posture, sitting at a computer or over a desk for long periods of time, or it can be due to injury. If it has occured because of injury, you should see your doctor. If it's due to over-use or poor posture, then be aware of your posture while sitting. Ergonomically designed chairs which can be purchased relatively inexpensively at an office supply store can cause your spine and neck to fall into better alignment and cause less strain. When sitting at a desk for a long time, be sure to take breaks, stretch, turn your head from side to side and rotate it around back and forth to loosen up those tense muscles. Heat can also help (heating pad, heatable pillow or hot water bottle). If the pain does not improve with the above measures, then take some ibuprofen and call your doctor for further evaluation. If you are experienceing fever along with the neck pain, this can mean spinal meningitis. You should definitely seek immediate medical help in that case. HOpe this helps.

1. The age old moral and ethical values are disappearing among children. Is it due to our education system?
|
I think that the education system does contribute to the lowering of values and standards, but only because the education system mirrors the greater society. If you know people who work in schools, often parents themselves interfere with a school's attempt to discipline their children--to keep standards and values strong.\n\nParents do have a lot to do with their children's values and standards. I think that a lot of parents have wanted their children to be happy at all costs, and many have chosen to let their kids do whatever they want, not work hard for what they get, and do lots of activities that children didn't used to get to do. So, watching cable TV, using the Internet, listening to adult-themed music all has a negative effect on children's values. And when they get to school and hang around with peers who have weak values it reinforces poor values.\n\nFinally, I think that the breakdown of the usual society structures that previously enforced a higher sense of values and purposes--church, neighborhood, nuclear and extended families, for example--have also weakened our values and standards.

is sign language in or out, helpful or useless?
|
i take it now and want to know if i should get into sign language clubs.
|
Absolutely Helpful - especially for those who are hearing impaired and people who care enough about the hearing impaired people in their lives to facilitate communication with them. \n\nIn or Out? Well, for those who rely upon it, that's not even a question really. Sign-language is a necessity for many. \n\nHOWEVER......\n\n"IN!" Would surely be the answer in many circle of new parents! A LOT of people who have babies are using sign-language to be able to communicate with their lil ones long before the babies can begin to speak! Baby Signs is the program I've heard most about (from the Ovusoft Forums); however, there are several programs available to teach your baby to sign (and, you will suddenly be "Sooooo IN" by the crowd who does that! ;)

is it possible to remove water from ammomia& how would you do it?
|
Pure ammonia is gaseous at room temperature (and sold in gas bottles). If you want to get pure liquid ammonia, you will have to cool it down to dry ice/acetone temperature.\n\nLiquid ammonia will attract water from the atmosphere. In order to avoid water dissolving in the ammonia, you will have to freeze-dry and then filter the air over water-receptive salts like calcium chloride.\n\n\nIf your question was how to distill water-free ammonia from an aqueous solution, carefully vaporize the solution, then freeze out the water first (e.g. in a trap cooled by ice-salt mixture), then the ammonia (in a trap cooled by acetone/dry ice). You'll probably have to repeat the process several times to get rid of most of the water.\n\nIf you don't mind salts or organic material dissolved in the ammonia, you can (carefully!) add metal nitrides which will react with any residual water.

do we need cyber lawyer?
|
Yes, I think so. Whenever a new technology makes new circumstances to litigate, we will need new lawyers willing to specialize in that field. In patent and copyright, for example, because the Internet has opened that area to a great deal of new conflict and potential conflict. Certainly in constitutional law, for issues of free speech. There are important considerations for criminal law, too. A lawyer who specializes in computer law, or cyber law, as you put it, is a valuable asset to the Silicon Valley legal community. In fact, there are quite a few.

Why was monday night football cancled?
|
It wasn't cancelled, just moving to a new network on Monday nights.\n\nBelow is an answer I posted to a similar question:\n\nIt's all about money. The contracts the networks had signed with the NFL expired after this season, so they renegotiated at the beginning of the season.\n\nSunday Night Football is moving to ESPN because ABC (a sister station to ESPN as both are owned by Disney) wants to open its Monday Night Lineup to other "regular" TV shows, especially with the success of "Boston Legal", "Gray's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives." \n\nStarting next year, NBC is going to broadcast the Sunday Night Football games since they haven't had any successful primetime Sunday shows for quite some time. \n\nTo see the whole question and additional resources, please click on the link below.

why do we have school.?
|
but i like school
|
The answer depends on the philosophy of the teacher. Some contend that schools should be purely academies of a certain body of knowledge -- that is what is covered on standardized tests. Others, myself included, feel that school should teach more than that. A successful school teaches future citizens the skills that will help them be independent, successful workers. Learning how to meet deadlines, working with others in a peaceful manner, conflict resolution, appropriate behavior and dress in a work environment -- all of these are fostered in school and are vital in the working world. School should prepare you for your life experiences.

I received a phish e-mail. The person was trying to direct me to paypal so he could harvest my credit card number. The e-mail address given was a yahoo address, is there a why I can report a fraudulent account? Thankyou.
|
Quite often, send addresses are faked, so you must make sure it actually came from a Yahoo account. If you're using Yahoo yourself, or a few other services like GMail, the sender should have been verified by DomainKeys. \n\nIf you're with an ISP that doesn't support DomainKeys, you'll have to view the full headers of the message in order to check it really did come from Yahoo. There is a service, SpamCop which will do this for you.\n\n"If the spam or abusive e-mail is being sent from a Yahoo! UK & Ireland account (eg: johnsmith@yahoo.co.uk) please forward the entire message with full headers to uk-mail-abuse@yahoo-inc.com. If it originates from a Yahoo!

Is cracking your knuckles really bad for you?
|
yes but not seriously bad\n\nIn a 1998 letter to the Arthritis and Rheumatism journal, Donald Unger, M.D., described the results of a very interesting 50-year experiment he'd conducted on his own hands. Every day during that time, he cracked the knuckles on his left hand at least twice. And, although the temptation must have been great to even things out, he left his right hand alone. After 50 years of this, he had no signs of arthritis in either hand. Also, both hands looked pretty much the same. \nIn a study involving more than one patient doctor, researchers looked at 300 long-term knuckle crackers (people who'd been doing it for at least 35 years). Their joints were a little swollen and their grip strength, which helps you open jars, was a little weaker. These things aren't major medical issues, so you have to decide whether popping your knuckles now is worth having a hard time with peanut jars later.

I keep Windows Media Player and Fax Viewer because it works when I don't need to Edit.\nI see no Value in changing to Quick Time, Real Time, or any other, so why will some Vids not play unless I download.\nI just tried to play a Legit Stevie Ray Vaughan Vid in my PC's DVD Drive/Player and It won't play because I need another Codec.\nThis is getting frustrating because the list of Codecs has become to long giving me headaches.\nI use Great Photo Editing Software for instances when it is needed, but my my Basic Needs are met by windows.\nWhy does Real Player and Quicktime Install itself without my permission and try to be default.
|
That's a good question and my answer is I have no idea. Most of the codecs are free anyway so I really don't see profit in it unless the companies are hoping you purchase the product after you have downloaded the codec. Real Player is junk so I wouldn't even bother with it. You will find that you need Quicktime player which now comes with iTunes and you can't get them separately but I like QT and iTunes so that's not a problem for me. You will also probably find out you need the Divx codec as one of my favorites requires it. I'm also not that fond of Windows Media Player but then I'm sort of a Mac (don't own a Mac though) fan and I have an iPod so I hope you can understand that.

you need windows media encoder. Go to microsoft site and search and dwnload it and then read how ot sue it.\nYou can start a live brodcast, save this to a file and at the same time send out the broadcast to others. All you need to do this is have the encoder live on the net and point people to it (for the live stream.) if you want to record the live event and also have it available, say for those who want to view it 5 mins after the start time but start watching from the beginning, you are going to need a stremaing media server that can use the archived file for broadcasting. The configuration of th basic encoder for what you want is relatively simple. The stramnig media server is a little more complex, but still nothing you need to buy books for, that is if u read the documentation that comes with it. A little tip:Buffering on the encoder/server side is going to be your best friend.\nUpon re-reading your question, it sounds liek you need a streaming media server. THis can be programmed for times when when certain clips are available. oyu need ot make publising points for the times u want and then set the times it will be available. note that if a person wants to watch a 30 min broadcast that is available from 8:pm to 8:30 adn they start it at 8:25-it will play til lthe end but if they stop it and restart it then it will play the new clip that is set to play at 8:30 (if you have the server set up to play something else at 8:30). This can be done but times are absolute adn not really a good way to make streaming media available to your viewers. Best thing to do is tell viweres its availabe lfrom 8 to 8:30 and set the tiem out for 9. this way if someone views it right at 8:30 they can see the entire 30 mins even if they stop it.

What exactly is a black hole?
|
A blackhole is a collection of matter with gravity so immense that nothing can escape how strong the pull of it is unless when you are in it's pull you can accelerate faster than the speed of light and beyond, thus the blackhole swallows up light as well.\n\nWhat happens is large masses collapse under their own weight. Think of a house of cards. The more you pile on, the greater the weight becomes until the cards on the bottom can't take the weight anymore. When the house of cards falls, the cards still exist but have lost their structure do to gravity.\n\nNow instead of a house of cards, replace that with an enormous sun that has tons of matter inside. The sun is teetering on the brink of collapsing as the matter inside grows and grows until eventually, like the house of cards, it falls down. Except since this is a sphere in space is is being pulled inward by it's onw gravity, and not down like earth gravity, the sun doesn't fall down, it falls IN.\n\nWhen this does happen the gravity doesn't stop existing because the matter doesn't either, it becomes smaller and the gravity grows as it pulls larger and larger amounts of matter into it's core. Eventually it because so dense and so massive and so small that the gravity involved will not allow even Photons, or light particles, the fastest thing in the universe to pass through it.\n\nThere ya have it!

Why is the sky blue?
|
As incoming light from the sun passes through the atmostphere, shorter wavelengths (blue, violet) are diffracted more readily than short ones (red, yellow) and are seen across the entire sky. This effect is called Rayleigh scattering. The blue sky has nothing to do with bodies of water on earth. Notice that the sky is nearly the same shade of blue everywhere, regardless of oceans and lakes.

How is life for moslem foreigners in western countries nowadays?
|
As long as you're okay with being suspected of being a terrorist every time you travel, life is just fine for Muslims in western countries.\n\nedited to add:\nMost people understand that most Muslims don't support terrorism or want to destroy the West. And I don't think there's widespread discrimination in day-to-day life. America is a melting pot, so there are lot of people from different backgrounds. But if you're a "Middle Eastern looking" male, and you try to drive a truck across a bridge or through a tunnel in NYC, you'll be stopped.

CAN AN INSURANCE COMPANY RENIG ON ITS OFFER AFTER I SIGN THE SETTLEMENT PAPER?
|
I WAS RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE PERSON THAT HIT ME OFFERED ME $2,500 AND DECLARED MY CAR A TOTAL LOSS. SO I SIGNED THE SETTLEMENT PAPERS AND FAXED IT TO THEM ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. THIS MORNING I RECIEVE A LETTER STATING THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING ME $250. CAN THEY DO THAT OR IS THAT ILLEGAL IM NOT SURE PLEASE HELP ME OUT. :)
|
You probably can succeed in seeking $2,500. First, if a clerical mistake was made, most courts would allow rescision of the contract. If the contract specifically added the comma to the total, though, or if the figure were written out in long-form, or written in multiple locations, proof of a clerical error will be difficult.\n\nAnother condition that the insurance company could escape would be mutual mistake. You agreed, however, because the amount was $2,500 and had not mistake or belief about a different amount.\n\nFinally, the insurance company could try to get out under unilateral mistake, but that's a very difficult theory. They don't "bear the risk of the mistake" in a legal sense. In most jurisdictions, however, they'd have to prove that the contract would be "unconscionable" if enforced, or that you "had reason to know of the mistake." Neither applies - a $2,250 for an insurance company is not "unconscionable," and you had no reason to know the mistake.\n\nYou have a strong case, and you should insist that the amount was for $2,500. You should demand the contracted amount. For further legal tangles if they disagree, you may need additional assistance, but you should stand your ground.

is absolute beauty exist?
|
in the natural world animals develop features to attract a mate - the ones with the most perfect features (according, i assume, to their instinctive values of attraction) are the most attractive as mates. it works to ensure that the strongest/best examples of a species reproduce together, to ensure in turn that the species survives. so yes, in the natural world, an inherent concept of absolute beauty would appear to exist.\n\nhowever.\n\ndifferent animals develop different features, showing that each species has a different concept of beauty. also, in relation to human beings, it's important to remember that we have as a species gone beyond the trials of survival which necessitate mate selection in the natural world - in our secure society we can afford to be attracted to any number of things other than physical strength, cunning, childbearing suitability etc. \n\nso, in short, no, a universal concept of absolute beauty does not exist. on an individual level, i'd say that it does exist, but not only is it different in different people; it is constantly changing as we experience new things which alter our perception of the world.

Why can't you tickle yourself?
|
Read why here:\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/question511.htm\n\nThe root of the answer to your question lays in this paragraph from the above page:\n"Brain scientists at the University College London have pinpointed the cerebellum as the part of the brain that prevents us from self-tickling. The cerebellum is the region located at the base of the brain that monitors our movements. It can distinguish expected sensations from unexpected sensations. An expected sensation would be the amount of pressure your fingers apply to your keyboard while typing. An unexpected sensation would be someone sneaking up behind you and tapping you on the shoulder. While the brain discards the sensation of typing, it pays a lot of attention to someone tapping on your shoulder. The difference in reactions from expected to unexpected is a built-in response that probably developed in early human history to detect predators."

What is RNAse P and what does it do in general?
|
Ribonuclease (RNase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of RNA into smaller components. RNase P is currently under much research and is unique in that it is a ribozyme, a ribonucleic acid that acts as a catalyst in the same way that a protein based enzyme would. Its function is to cleave off an extra, or precursor, sequence of RNA on tRNA molecules. RNase P has two components: an RNA chain, called M1 RNA, and a polypeptide chain, or protein, called C5 protein. In vivo, both components are necessary for the ribozyme to function properly, but in vitro, the M1 RNA can act alone as a catalyst\n\nRibonuclease P (RNase P) is a ubiquitous and essential ribonucleoprotein (RNP) involved in 5’ maturation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). Bacterial RNase P consists of a catalytic RNA subunit and a protein cofactor. While the RNA subunits of most archaeal and all eukaryal RNase P contain several of the critical and conserved secondary structural elements present in their bacterial counterpart, they are not catalytically active in vitro in the absence of their multiple protein subunits, whose number varies from four to ten depending on the source. Since both the RNA and protein subunits are essential for function in vivo in all three domains of life, RNase P serves as a paradigm for understanding how proteins modulate RNA function and for evaluating if RNase P represents an early RNA enzyme progressing through evolutionary stages to an RNA-protein enzyme in which proteins have usurped most of the functions originally carried out by the RNA moiety. There are three projects in the Gopalan lab that are encompassed within these long-term objectives. Please see the lab site for more details

The short answer to your question is yes.\n\nWhat would the world be like today if Neville Chamberlain had the courage to stand up to Hitler in 1938 instead of becoming one of histories weakest Prime Ministers of a 'major power'?\n\nWhat would the world be like today if we were able to prevent the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?\n\nThe NYTimes even admits that we have found 'some' WMDs in Iraq. Remember, we haven't started to search Syria yet and we havent searched in Iran. Does anyone remember what Saddam did on the first day of Gulf War #1? He sent his air force to Iran.\n\nIf NutBall Jr. in North Korea gets missile technology in place that could reach San Francisco and he SAYS that (which he would), then we would be well within our rights as a sovereign nation to destroy that missile battery.\n\nWas Israel within their rights to destroy the nuclear plant in Iran 25 years ago?

In certain conditions yes this is normal. The big question is "How do you (the patient) feel?" Some people need a low BP and some people have a heart so poor that it is unable to produce a high BP. When the BP decreases the heart rate may elevate as a compensatory mechanism to help supply the body with blood. In this circumstance low BP high HR is entirely normal. However, if your BP is so low that you are getting dizzy , feel terrible, tired lethargic you may need further medical advice

What are the two types of dances of the bees & what does each signify?
|
Honey bees transmit two important bits of information in their dance. One of the common patterns used by dancing bees is a figure eight. When the bee goes through the middle of the eight she waggles her abdomen from side to side. The dance is sometimes called the waggle dance after this habit. Bees can count, and the number of waggles tells the bees about how far away the nectar source is.\n\n \n\nThe orientation on the honey comb of the waggle part of the dance tells the direction of the nectar source from the hive. This information is based on the location of the sun in the sky. For instance, a nectar source directly toward the sun would translate into a dance where the waggle run is vertical on the comb. A patch of flowers away from the sun would result in a waggle dance downward on the comb. The dancing bees also share a taste of the nectar with other bees so they will know the type of flower they are seeking. The dance of the bees is a recruitment activity, with some bees following the steps of the returning forager until they have information necessary to find the flowers.
