7,200	6Business & Finance	what kind of job opportunity can i expect with an associates degree in CIS?		You can probably get a NOC (Network Operations Center) job or some sort of IT Help Desk. If you have enough database experience (SQL, Oracle) you might be able to get in as a Jr. Level Database Administrator. \n\nIf it's a good company...get your foot in the door and move your way up. Find out how hard it is to transfer to different departments because you are not going to want to stay in some sort of help desk role for long. \n\nYou'll find later on that with enough experience you can move into different roles. Look into Project Management as well.
7,201	1Science & Mathematics	I need help with finding the area of shaded polygons?		Area of a Rectangle\nA rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude." \n\nArea of a Parallelogram\nTo find the area of a parallelogram, we can use the same formula that we used for the area of a rectangle, multiplying the length of the base times the length of the height. \n\n\n\nLet's find the area of a parallelogram that has a base of 23 cm and a height of 7 cm. If we substitute the values into the formula, we find that the parallelogram has an area of 161 square centimeters\n\n&...
7,202	9Politics & Government	is there financial help avaliable to open a wild horse rescue?	i am interested in opening a rescue for the wild mustangs roaming america. i would like to have the resources to take in herds instead of seperating the horses from their family. if there is any funding avaliable to help an individual concerned about the welfare of our wild horses i will follow it to the end to help save these magnificant animals.	There is some funding for horse/animal rescues, however, the size they have to be to get the funding does not allow someone with meager land and money to recieve the funding. If you want to operate a horse rescue and do not have lots of land and money to begin with, you must rely on private donations.\n\n Good luck!!! Even if you can only help a couple of horses in need, you are a hero in my book!

I first met my wife on the internet.

7,219	6Business & Finance	why does some of my e-mail I send not go through.?		This can have a number of different answers, but they all boil down to three possibilities. One, you are being blocked enroute by any one of the mail gateways that handle your email. Two, there is an infrastructure problem with DNS at your provider that is not allowing them to successfully route your mail depending on the destination domain. Three, the recipient has set up spam filters that trash your message without their ever having seen it.\n\nIt's hard to say which particular issue is at fault, since there are no details provided. However, examining the header field of any bounce messages you get (if any) can usually shed some light on the cause of the problem.

Only the Day After Pill or the actual abortion procedure would work. There are no foods that cause you to abort.

They are learning that there are consequences for their actions. \n\nMany times children are not misbehaving, but are using the situation to learn.

7,231	3Education & Reference	When to use an exclamation point?		I liked this explanation:\n\n"The exclamation point (!) is the punctuation mark used to give the sort of emphasis to a word, phrase, or sentence that suggests loud, vigorous, forthright delivery. Never! Free at last! Never darken my door again! In English it always goes at the end of the locution to be emphasized. But stridency is seldom approved in speech, and so in writing too be sparing of the exclamation point. Rely on your words, not your punctuation, to make your passion ring forth."

7,235	1Science & Mathematics	Why does a fly stay in its position when it is flying in a moving vehicle?Shouldn't it hit the backscreen?		The second and fourth answers are essentially correct and apply in ideal circumstances, with a fly that is just hovering (not flying forward or backward in the car), and in air that has infinitely low viscosity (is very very thin).\n\nBut this isn't simply a Newton's first law problem [1], since a fly is so small and light, and is effected by the movement of the air it is flying in. For example, if you open the windows, a stationary hovering fly might get sucked out sideways, even with a constant velocity.\n\nSo when you suddenly accelerate, a ball on a roller might hit the back window, but a small, lightweight fly won't neccessarily hit the back window since the fly is in a fluid (air) that prevents the free movement of the fly through it.

7,239	7Entertainment & Music	What was your favorite song of 2005?		Speed of Sound by Coldplay.\nThis song marks a significant step for coldplay. No longer does a simple melody dominate the sound, with a better balance of the chorus. Martin's voice carrys more with the tune and the listener is not left with that empty hollownes that previous coldplay songs gave to the ear. It is a song that has naturally had an instant success. As per iTunes, Speed of Sound is the No.1 on the iTunes chart worldwide for several weeks and already Coldplay’s biggest US hit to date on download sales alone (it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No.8, the highest new entry by a British artist since The Beatles ‘Hey Jude’ in 1968), \n\nTo get the deep meaning of the song, please visit :\nhttp://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/10/134426.php

7,241	0Society & Culture	what is sufism?		Sufism (sū'fĭzəm) , an umbrella term for the ascetic and mystical movements within Islam. While Sufism is said to have incorporated elements of Christian monasticism, gnosticism, and Indian mysticism, its origins are traced to forms of devotion and groups of penitents (zuhhad) in the formative period of Islam. The early pious figures, later appropriated by Sufism, include Ali, Hasan al-Basri (d. 801), and Rabia al-Adawiyya, a woman from Basra (Iraq) who rejected worship motivated by the desire for heavenly reward or the fear of punishment and insisted on the love of God as the sole valid form of adoration. The word Sufi first appears in the 8th cent., probably in connection with the coarse wool that many ascetics wore.

That will show you your eligibility for grants, and other aid as well as your expected cost of education. From there you may make more intelligent decisions about which college to attend. \n\nA link to the online FAFSA is below.

7,258	9Politics & Government	Who decided to make countries?	Was there one person, or did it just happen organically? And furthermore (an opinion on your part) do you think there should be countries?	It was COUNTROS - Lord of imaginary borders!!! Actually, countries arose naturally out of the territorial nature of mankind. Individual caves belonged to individual cavemen, separate hills and plains belonged to separate groups of men and women, separate kingdoms controlled separate regions, and so on... Nothing was ever established to begin it all, it was simply accepted because everyone throughout our history divided the lands more and more. I think that countries should exist, to break governing responsibilities down further than one man to rule all, but countries should never rival each other. Additionally, different countries have generated different civilizations, and with them different values, lifestyles, artforms, and countless different ways to view life itself.

7,260	9Politics & Government	How does Direct Democracy work in Switzerland?		Switzerland is the best current example of direct democracy, using both initiative and referendum. In the initiative process, citizens gather petitions to force an election (referendum) on a proposed law. In Switzerland over the last 120 years, about 240 issues have been put to referendum, only about 10% have gained approval. At lower levels, referenda only require a majority of voters to pass, but at the national level, both a majority of voters and a majority of voting states are required. This prevents states with small populations from being unfairly represented. The Swiss got the idea of double majority from the US Congress, which has both the House of Representatives (representation proportional to population of each state) and the Senate (same representation for each state)

Mast urbation is important for healthy human development. Not only is it good for you physically and mentally, but it helps you learn your body in a way you can't do otherwise.\n\nWhen you have sex with a partner, the only way you're going to be able to communicate what you like is from the experience you've had with yourself.\n\nThe ONLY negative thing that can come from mast urbation is the stigma that some people seem to have against it. Just keep in mind that it's healthy, educational, fun and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I already back them up but I when I play them they freeze in the middle of the movie so it doesn't really work I heard other people have succes in this area and I thought it was the labels I was using so I stopped using them can someone recomend what to do?	First at all remembert that it is illegal in the US and in some other countries to "backup" the dvds.\n\nThere is a program call dvd decrypter that you can use to copy the DVD to your PC cracking the protection on them. You can not just copy the dvd to your pc.

Here you can decide which part reduce most, you would prefer keep your main movie as the most quality available. You also can skip extras o additional languages to reduce the size.

7,267	4Computers & Internet	Is DSL all it's cracked up to be and is it difficult to set up yourself.?		I originally switched to DSL so that I could still receive phone calls while begin online. I don't think I really noticed the speed difference until I tried to log on to a few sites while visiting my parents and their dial-up connection. "Man," I thought "how did I ever live with something this slow!" If you go to sites with a lot of Flash animation or movies like trailer clips, DSL is a serious plus.\n\nAs for setting up, I didn't have any troubles. Phone cord goes from wall to modem, Ethernet cord goes from modem to computer. Call ISP to let them know and they walked me through setting up the computer preferences. Probably the most important thing is to call your ISP beforehand to make sure that DSL is available in your area!

There is no sense involved with this issue at all. I'm 19 and a member of the Army National Guard so I know where you're coming from. I would like to own and cary a handgun. Uncle sam says I cant because i'm not mature enough yet. But its OK for me to cary one to my death in war. There plain and simply is no sense at all regarding this issue. Its just the bureaucrats jacking everything up like always. writing nonsense laws for there own agendas or somone's agenda who has something that bureaucrats want and its usually money.

7,286	1Science & Mathematics	what is the principle of welding?		What is welding?\nWelding is joining or fusing of two metals or melting of metals. Two pieces of metals are heated to such a high temperature that their edges become liquid. Then, the two half-liquid state metals are held together so that they join. When they cool down again, the two pieces of metal will be glued to each other so that they cannot be pulled apart\n\nThe principle of welding is quite simple. An electric arc is created between a negative pole, (earthed workpiece) and a positive pole, (welding rod). The amperage of the electric current determines the level of heat and fusion generated. \n\nElectric Arc welding machines come in many sizes, from small luggable units, through to wheelable units and even large fixed machines. \n\nTheir size is determined by the amperage output achieved. Smaller machines are only suitable for welding small sections of metal and rod. \n\nWelding rods are available in different diameter sizes with different flux coatings.

Most of them are hurting for them and many offer pay (however, in most cases you will need to insure yourself so this may offset your pay). Do this long enough and you can perhaps get on as a high school ref. Work your way up from there. Remember, however, refs don't make a whole lot of money. Many of the NFL refs have professions outside of the NFL. There are many lawyers and there is one PGA golf pro as well.

For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude." \n\nArea of a Parallelogram\nTo find the area of a parallelogram, we can use the same formula that we used for the area of a rectangle, multiplying the length of the base times the length of the height. \n\n\n\nLet's find the area of a parallelogram that has a base of 23 cm and a height of 7 cm.

is there financial help avaliable to open a wild horse rescue?

There is some funding for horse/animal rescues, however, the size they have to be to get the funding does not allow someone with meager land and money to recieve the funding.

A web crawler always analyses the links, as well the the location of image files put up in the source code of a webpage, and crawls forward by following the links.

Three, the recipient has set up spam filters that trash your message without their ever having seen it.\n\nIt's hard to say which particular issue is at fault, since there are no details provided.

Why does a fly stay in its position when it is flying in a moving vehicle?Shouldn't it hit the backscreen?

The second and fourth answers are essentially correct and apply in ideal circumstances, with a fly that is just hovering (not flying forward or backward in the car), and in air that has infinitely low viscosity (is very very thin).\n\nBut this isn't simply a Newton's first law problem [1], since a fly is so small and light, and is effected by the movement of the air it is flying in. For example, if you open the windows, a stationary hovering fly might get sucked out sideways, even with a constant velocity.\n\nSo when you suddenly accelerate, a ball on a roller might hit the back window, but a small, lightweight fly won't neccessarily hit the back window since the fly is in a fluid (air) that prevents the free movement of the fly through it.

what is sufism?

Sufism (sū'fĭzəm) , an umbrella term for the ascetic and mystical movements within Islam. While Sufism is said to have incorporated elements of Christian monasticism, gnosticism, and Indian mysticism, its origins are traced to forms of devotion and groups of penitents (zuhhad) in the formative period of Islam. The early pious figures, later appropriated by Sufism, include Ali, Hasan al-Basri (d. 801), and Rabia al-Adawiyya, a woman from Basra (Iraq) who rejected worship motivated by the desire for heavenly reward or the fear of punishment and insisted on the love of God as the sole valid form of adoration. The word Sufi first appears in the 8th cent., probably in connection with the coarse wool that many ascetics wore.

Please instruct me on the correct way to log on and be able to get the messages. the only way i get messages is if someone messages me while i am online.

If you are talking about the Voice mail messages look for the pic of the tape at the bottom of yahoo messenger and click on it then click on Voice Messages, then it should let you chose the message and play it, if you are talking about email then click on the pic of the letter and it will let you login to yahoo mail.

Where can I find donations for college?

Few people get donations for college. You may be eligible for grants and other financial aid, but donations are few. There may be some scholarships, but they have requirements as opposed to donations which are more like gifts. \n\nStart out with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Department of Education. That will show you your eligibility for grants, and other aid as well as your expected cost of education. From there you may make more intelligent decisions about which college to attend. \n\nA link to the online FAFSA is below.

Who decided to make countries?

Was there one person, or did it just happen organically? And furthermore (an opinion on your part) do you think there should be countries?

It was COUNTROS - Lord of imaginary borders!!! Actually, countries arose naturally out of the territorial nature of mankind. Individual caves belonged to individual cavemen, separate hills and plains belonged to separate groups of men and women, separate kingdoms controlled separate regions, and so on... Nothing was ever established to begin it all, it was simply accepted because everyone throughout our history divided the lands more and more. I think that countries should exist, to break governing responsibilities down further than one man to rule all, but countries should never rival each other. Additionally, different countries have generated different civilizations, and with them different values, lifestyles, artforms, and countless different ways to view life itself.

How does Direct Democracy work in Switzerland?

Switzerland is the best current example of direct democracy, using both initiative and referendum. In the initiative process, citizens gather petitions to force an election (referendum) on a proposed law. In Switzerland over the last 120 years, about 240 issues have been put to referendum, only about 10% have gained approval. At lower levels, referenda only require a majority of voters to pass, but at the national level, both a majority of voters and a majority of voting states are required. This prevents states with small populations from being unfairly represented. The Swiss got the idea of double majority from the US Congress, which has both the House of Representatives (representation proportional to population of each state) and the Senate (same representation for each state)

Is mastrubating good or bad ?

Mastrubating good or bad.. Does it affect your health in anyway ? especially when you do not mastrubate by hand..

Mast urbation is important for healthy human development. Not only is it good for you physically and mentally, but it helps you learn your body in a way you can't do otherwise.\n\nWhen you have sex with a partner, the only way you're going to be able to communicate what you like is from the experience you've had with yourself.\n\nThe ONLY negative thing that can come from mast urbation is the stigma that some people seem to have against it. Just keep in mind that it's healthy, educational, fun and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

How can I back up my DVDs?

I already back them up but I when I play them they freeze in the middle of the movie so it doesn't really work I heard other people have succes in this area and I thought it was the labels I was using so I stopped using them can someone recomend what to do?

First at all remembert that it is illegal in the US and in some other countries to "backup" the dvds.\n\nThere is a program call dvd decrypter that you can use to copy the DVD to your PC cracking the protection on them. You can not just copy the dvd to your pc. It is just simple as push a button.\n\nHowever most DVD are 7.2Gb and DVD-R generally are 4.5 Gb, so there is a program dvd-shrink that can be use to reduce to the desired size of the dvd. Here you can decide which part reduce most, you would prefer keep your main movie as the most quality available. You also can skip extras o additional languages to reduce the size.

Is DSL all it's cracked up to be and is it difficult to set up yourself.?

I originally switched to DSL so that I could still receive phone calls while begin online. I don't think I really noticed the speed difference until I tried to log on to a few sites while visiting my parents and their dial-up connection. "Man," I thought "how did I ever live with something this slow!" If you go to sites with a lot of Flash animation or movies like trailer clips, DSL is a serious plus.\n\nAs for setting up, I didn't have any troubles. Phone cord goes from wall to modem, Ethernet cord goes from modem to computer. Call ISP to let them know and they walked me through setting up the computer preferences. Probably the most important thing is to call your ISP *beforehand* to make sure that DSL is available in your area!

Why are people sent off to war not considered old enough to buy a lottery ticket. In my state it's 21.?

My brother was home on leave. He actually saved lives and a ship by putting out a fire and throwing ordanance lockers overboard. He went out for dinner with my grandfather and my grandpa had a fit that he couldn't buy his grandson a beer. I can understand the drinking age but I have a hard time wondering why someone is trusted to secure our nation yet to buy a lottery ticket is out of the question. Can anyone make sense out of that?

There is no sense involved with this issue at all. I'm 19 and a member of the Army National Guard so I know where you're coming from. I would like to own and cary a handgun. Uncle sam says I cant because i'm not mature enough yet. But its OK for me to cary one to my death in war. There plain and simply is no sense at all regarding this issue. Its just the bureaucrats jacking everything up like always. writing nonsense laws for there own agendas or somone's agenda who has something that bureaucrats want and its usually money. To them it makes "CENTS,"\nrather than sense. Sense to them is money, not whats realy good for the american people. I'm sory but there is no answer for your question but that its nonsense.

what is the principle of welding?

What is welding?\nWelding is joining or fusing of two metals or melting of metals. Two pieces of metals are heated to such a high temperature that their edges become liquid. Then, the two half-liquid state metals are held together so that they join. When they cool down again, the two pieces of metal will be glued to each other so that they cannot be pulled apart\n\nThe principle of welding is quite simple. An electric arc is created between a negative pole, (earthed workpiece) and a positive pole, (welding rod). The amperage of the electric current determines the level of heat and fusion generated. \n\nElectric Arc welding machines come in many sizes, from small luggable units, through to wheelable units and even large fixed machines. \n\nTheir size is determined by the amperage output achieved. Smaller machines are only suitable for welding small sections of metal and rod. \n\nWelding rods are available in different diameter sizes with different flux coatings.

Short answer....referee for a looooooooong time.\n\nLonger answer. You have to work your way up. If you are really serious, look around for your local youth football program and get on as a ref. Most of them are hurting for them and many offer pay (however, in most cases you will need to insure yourself so this may offset your pay). Do this long enough and you can perhaps get on as a high school ref. Work your way up from there. Remember, however, refs don't make a whole lot of money. Many of the NFL refs have professions outside of the NFL. There are many lawyers and there is one PGA golf pro as well.
