How do you find the volume of a clyinder?How do you find the volume of a square?
|
P.S.I'm only ten and i'm in 7th grade math.I forgot how to do the question i was asking!
|
Congrats on being so advanced in math. That's great!\n\nVolume of cylinder = π x R x R x H = π x (R^2) x H\n\nA square has an area, not a volume.\nThe area of a square = S x S = S^2\n\nIf you meant the volume of a cube,\nthe volume = S x S x S = S^3

what is life? What is the purpose of life? Why we live on earth and why we born in different families like ?
|
PLEASE READ THIS FULLY\n\nPeople everywhere are asking the questions; "What is the purpose of life?" and "Why are we here?" \n\nMost of those who reflect or think about life in any detail will consider and ponder these questions. There are as many different answers to these questions as there are people asking the questions. Some would hold that the purpose of life was to acquire wealth. Yet suppose they were to acquire millions of dollars, what then would they claim is their purpose after doing so?\n\nIf the purpose of life is to become wealthy, there would be no purpose after becoming wealthy. \n\nThe fact is that when people approach their purpose here in this life from the aspect of only gaining wealth, after collecting the money they have dreamed of their lives loose purpose and then they live in restless tension suffering from a feeling of worthlessness.\n\nHow could wealth then be considered as the aim of life?\n\nCould the acquisition of wealth guarantee happiness? Of course not.\nWhen we hear of millionaires or members of their families committing suicide, how could we consider the purpose of life would be to gain great wealth?\n\nA child of 5 years would obviously prefer a new toy to a deposit slip for a million dollars.\nA teenager does not consider millions of dollars in the bank a substitute for movies, videos, pizza and hanging out with his friends. \nA person in their 80s or 90s would never consider holding on to their wealth in place of spending it to hold on to or regain their health.\n\nThis proves that money is not the main purpose at all the stages of one's life.\n\nWealth can do little or nothing to bring happiness to one who is a disbeliever in Almighty God, because regardless of what he or she would gain in this life they would always live in fear of what will happen to them in the end. They would wonder what would become of them and how they would end up.\n\nWealth and its accumulation as a purpose would be doomed to a temporary success at best and in the end it would only spell out self destruction.\n\nSo, what is the use of wealth to a person without belief? He would always fear his end and would always be skeptical of everything. He may gain a great material wealth but he would only lose himself in the end.\n\nWorship of the One True Almighty God of the Universe [Allah in Arabic] as a primary goal or aim in life provides a believer with everything he needs to succeed in both this life and the Next Life.\n\nThe word for total surrender, submission, obedience, purity of heart and peace in the Arabic language is "Islam". Those who try to perform these actions are called "MU-slims" [Islam-ERs]. \n\nTo a Muslim the whole purpose of life is "ibadah" or worship to the One True Almighty God on Terms and under His Conditions.\n\nThe term "worship" to a Muslim includes any and all acts of obedience to Almighty Allah.\n\nSo his purpose of life is a standing purpose; Worshipping Allah by accepting Allah's Will over his own.\nThis act of ibadah [worshipping, thanking and extolling the Greatness Almighty Allah on His Terms and Conditions] is for the Muslim, throughout his whole life regardless of the stage. Whether he is a child, adolescent, adult or aged person, he is seeking after the Will of the Almighty in all these stages.\nHis life here on earth although short, is full of purpose and is totally meaningful within the complete framework of total submission [Islam].\n\nSimilarly, in the Next Life as well, his faith, intentions, attitudes and good deeds will all be weighed into his account as favorable putting him in high esteem with his Creator and Sustainer.\n\nBecause Islam teaches that this life is only a test or trial for the individual to show him his true nature it is only natural that he would accept death as not so much an ending to everything but more as a beginning of the final and lasting life in the Hereafter.\n\nBefore entering int

Is Ohio State going to kill Notre Dame, or what???
|
Ohio State has AJ Hawk, Anthony Schlegel, and Bobby Carpenter as their LBs. They're offense is also dangerous with Troy Smith, Antonio Pittman, Santonio Holmes, and Ted Ginn.\nNotre Dame is not "stacked" to this extent. They have a crappy defense and a good offense. (I have to give them that one). It is Brady Quinn, Jeff Samardzjia, and Maurice Stovall. \nWith that said Ohio State is a superior team and will beat Notre Dame...What do you think???
|
I think the correct answer to that is "Or what". I think this is gonna be a close game. Both teams have had good seasons this year. While ND's secondary struggles, their front line is pretty good. I do believe they played really well against some team ummm USC? And would have beaten them with a correct spot. But oh well....

I think my husband is alchoholic? How can I be sure?
|
I had a traumatising childhood with an alcoholic father, therefor I'm not sure if I'm right on this one, or I'm just being afraid. Fact is that my husmand loves to drink, on any ocasion, when he comes home from work, when we go visit someone. In fact that's why we go visiting people, because they have to drink-guys I mean-. We argue a lot about this, but he sais that he is embaressed not to drink when all his friends do, like he is not man enough. He actually hit me once when he was drunk, for no good reason. So, is it me, is it him or it's both of us? Please help me because I'm lost and I don't know how to deal with this anymore!

Is the MTA strike in NYC illegal?
|
There is a lot of controversy about the MTA strike in NYC. Is it the strike illegal? Should the strikers be indivually fined for walking off the job? Should they all be fired?
|
The strike is illegal under New York's Taylor Law. "Under the law, public employees are prohibited from striking and penalties for violation are levied against the union and employees involved." I've included a link to the judge's injunction that explains why the strike is illegal, along with a brief explanation of the Taylor Law and a link to the text of the law.

why is the sky blue?
|
The Earth's sky is blue because the air molecules (largely nitrogen\nand oxygen) are much smaller than the wavelength of light. When light\nencounters particles much smaller than its wavelength, the scattered\nintensity is inversely proportional to the 4'th power of the\nwavelength. This is called "Rayleigh scattering," and it means that\nhalf the wavelength is scattered with 2**4 = 16 times more intensity.\nThat's why the sky appears blue: the blue light is scattered some 16\ntimes more strongly than the red light. Rayleigh scattering is also\nthe reason why the setting Sun appears red: the blue light has been\nscattered away from the direct sunlight.\n \nThus, if the atmosphere of another planet is composed of a transparent\ngas or gases whose molecules are much smaller than the wavelength of\nlight, we would, in general, also expect the sky on that planet to\nhave a blue color.\n \nIf you want another color of the sky, you need bigger particles in the\nair. You need something bigger than molecules in the air---dust.\n \nDust particles can be many times larger than air molecules but still\nsmall enough to not fall out to the ground. If the dust particles are\nmuch larger than the wavelength of light, the scattered light will be\nneutral in color (i.e., white or gray)---this also happens in clouds\nhere on Earth, which consist of water droplets. If the dust particles\nare of approximately the same size as the wavelength of light, the\nsituation gets complex, and all sorts of interesting scattering\nphenomena may happen. This happens here on Earth from time to time,\nparticularly in desert areas, where the sky may appear white, brown,\nor some other color. Dust is also responsible for the pinkish sky on\nMars, as seen in the photographs returned from the Viking landers.\n \nIf the atmosphere contains lots of dust, the direct light from the Sun\nor Moon may occasionally get some quite unusual color. Sometimes,\ngreen and blue moons have been reported. These phenomena are quite\nrare though---they happen only "once in a blue moon...." :) The dust\nresponsible for these unusual color phenomena is most often volcanic\nin origin. When El Chicon erupted in 1982, this caused unusually\nstrongly colored sunsets in equatorial areas for more than one year.\nThe much bigger volcanic explosion at Krakatoa, some 110 years ago,\ncaused green and blue moons worldwide for a few years.\n \nOne possible exception to the above discussion is if the clouds on the\nplanet are composed of a strongly colored chemical. This might occur\non Jupiter, where the clouds are thought to contain sulfur, phosphorus,\nand/or various organic chemicals.\n \nIt's also worth pointing out that the light of the planet's primary is\nquite insignificant. Our eyes are highly adaptable to the dominating\nillumination and perceive it as "white," within a quite wide range of\npossible colors. During daytime, we perceive the light from the Sun\n(6000 K) as white, and at night we perceive the light from our\nincandescent lamps (2800 K, like a late, cool M star) as white. Only\nif we put these two lights side-by-side, at comparable intensities,\nwill we perceive a clear color difference.\n \nIf the Sun was a hot star (say of spectral type B), it's likely we\nstill would perceive its light as "white" and the sky's color as blue.

Where does Europe end and Asia begin?

In a real sense, there is no dividing line. They are on the same tectonic plate, and there is no line where the plants and animals change radically.\n\nTraditionally a line is drawn through the Ural Mts. to the Caspian sea and across the Caucasus Mts. to the Black Sea. This line is based more on human history than any physical differences between one side of the line and the other.

Yahoo Answers is like standing up in a crowd and screaming your question at the top of your lungs.\n\nEveryone can hear it and many will speak up with an answer.\n\nThe problem with this is that you will get some answers that you don't like, some answers that are outright wrong, and some answers that are exactly what you needed to know.\n\nIf you're asking about something that has a definitive answer, like what's the population of Brooklyn, you will likely be linked to sources that can back up the information provided. Check these links and verify what you've been told.\n\nIf you're asking for advice, it's a perfect opportunity for you to use your brain and judgement. Yahoo Answers is a great place to find information, but you're not completely off the hook, you still have to think.

in dentistry, what causes a dry socket?
|
A 'dry socket' is a lay term for an analomy that can occur after the extraction of a tooth. If the extraction site, or socket, looses the blood clot that is part of the healing process, the site is refered to as 'dry'. The pain and infection that can result, are due to exposed bone within the socket. Smoking, carbonated beverages, and negitive pressure in the mouth (ie, sucking through a straw,) are thought to increase the risk of a dry socket.

what is the difference between virus and bacteria?
|
First off jamesmusik84's is completely wrong. Please don't consider any of it. The second answer is along the right path, except I have no idea what the reference to antibiotic is suggesting and some viruses have RNA genomes but many more have DNA genomes. And as far as bacteria go, both RNA and DNA are present inside there cells.\n\nSo, the answer to your question. Let's start this way: Bacteria are small single-celled organisms. Unllike eukaryotic cells (like the ones that make up animals, plants, fungi and many single-celled organisms such as yeasts) which package their genetic material (DNA) in membrane structures called nuclei, bacteria (which are also referred to as prokaryotes) don't have a nucleus. Bacteria also don't have other organelles which are found in eukaryotes, such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochandria, chloroplasts, golgi bodies, etc. But like eukaryotes, bacteria do have an outer lipid membrane.\n\nSo, you can think of bacteria of little fluid filled sacs. Along with eukaryotic, bacteria are an example of "cells" which are the smallest unit of living things on earth.\n\nViruses, on the other hand, do not have an outer membrane. They don't the capacity to make their own proteins. They don't have the capacity ot replicate or metabolize on their own -- of which bacteria (and eukaryotes) do. It's for this reason that we don't consider viruses "living" things. Viruses have to "infect" a cell -- injecting its genetic material inside -- and use the cell's metabolic machinery to reproduce.\n\nViruses are essentially small protein "capsules" that have a piece of genetic information packaged inside. Because viruses are required to infect a cell to propogate themselves, they are classified as obligate intra-cellular pathogens.\n\nViruses tend to only infect specific cell types. Some infect bacteria. Some infect plants. Others infect animals. The specificity of what a virus can infect is goes beyond whether they can infect bacteria, plants or animals. Usually viruses have to infect a very specific animal, plant or bacteria. And even in the case of viruses that infect animals and plants, not only do the infect specif animals, they are usually limited to a few cell types whithin that animal.\n\nTake HIV for example: to the best of my knowledge HIV only infects humans (i.e. the "H" in HIV -- Human Immunodeficiency Virus). But it doesn't just infect any human cell. HIV only infects white blood cells -- specifically a class of white blood cells called T cells (there are many other "classes" of white blood cells including such things as B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and macrophages).\n\nI hope this sheds some light on the matter.

Was Jesus a Good Carpenter?
|
Jesus used to be a carpenter before he made it big in the mesiah business. Some consider this due to the high competition- low yield dynamics of carpentry. Some say that his heart was not in it, secretly he wanted (or knew himself) to be the son of god, creator of the universe. \n\nThen, of course some claim that he was just a bad carpenter. Again some that claimed he was ahead of his time: he made the first ottoman, which was not received well due to its anachronological nature. He is also said to be the creator of the first la-z-boy prototype in existence, along with church pew. Could these have contributed to his sudden change of heart?\n\nSo the question remains: was he a bad carpenter, or even though he was good, just around his 30s he realized that his career lies in the field of being the son of God, the creator of all existence, and crucified for our sins?
|
Didn't you know? He was the creator of first self-assembly furniture. \nDoes that make him good or bad I don't know, will give this another thought while I'm trying to assemble a bookcase I carried all the way from the store.

how do you start your own adult entertainment business for exotic dancers.?
|
The setting up & running part of the business aside, I think the very first thing you hsould do is look into what sort of permits you will need from the city. Some cities only allow this sort of business in certain areas (zoning) while others have some VERY specific ordinances & permit issues that have to be adhered to. Once you determine the feasibility of how long it will take to get yourself set up properly with the city - as well as if you will need to open in an area other than the one you might have wished to - then it is just a matter of getting the business side of things in order, locating & securing a building, furnishing it & hiring dancers.\n\nGood luck!

I live in southern NJ, should I leave a steady low-paying job(w/bens) to be a Real Estate appraiser?
|
The real estate market is cooling off and so is the mortgage industry. Proceed with caution. That said, if you are in a steady low-paying job, you will always regret the chances that you never took. Besides real estate appraisers are needed during foreclosures also. I would think that they are not as affected by the market as realtors or mortgage brokers. Best bet is to have a few months of income saved up.

|
Well, Im a painting contractor. I am licensed. It does matter what kind of license you get. You dont need a permit, but you need a license. I am a master at booking work. I learned soo fast. But, you know what? My license helped me when my business was crippled. I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I couldnt do much. Then, I quickly got my license and I started getting work. You have to fill out for a "Home Improvement" License. Dont get the ones that say that you are a painter. Its like a certificate that shows that you know how to paint. Those come from city hall, and costs like 5 buxx. You need to pay like 200-300 depending on the size of your company. Email me for the rest because it will help you with work. I dont want to disclose important secrets on here. Fudope_7@yahoo.com. Just rate me a perfect 5 stars before you email me....

Can an Octopus bite you with it's beak? Can you really suck the poison out of a snake bite to keep from dying?
|
About the octopus thing... I just want to know if I see one while I'm in the water, if I should be scared or what. About the snake bite, I am curious because you see all the movies tell you not to panic and that you can put a turnicate on and suck the poison out of the area. Wouldn't you just injest it any way? It doesn't make scense to put it in your mouth if it is going to kill you in your leg.
|
Of course it can. Most likely it will shy away from you, but it IS possible.\n\nAs far as sucking venom, it appears that treatment has fallen out of favor, but not because it harms the "sucker" but because it increases trauma in the wound area.\n\nInterestingly, from the FDA site below, it says sucking has fallen out of favor, but the CDC site below says it's OK! It also says that venom can be ingested orally with no ill effects.\n\nCDC: Do suck and squeeze - as much venom as possible directly from the wound. Venom is protein and can be taken orally with no ill effects.

Chicken or egg first?
|
This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?

Why can't conservatives really learn to conserve more?
|
seems most conservatives are only interested in conserving a wasteful greedy life-style...
|
If you are talking about conserving energy - this will not solve the energy problem. It's only part of the solution. What really solves the problem is drilling and refining our own sources of energy off of our coasts and in ANWR - but that won't happen because tree hugging pus*y liberals like yourself would rather block domestic energy production and then whine about gas prices being too high. That's why there hasn't been an oil refinery built in this country for over 30 years. That's why they have brownouts in California. All because of the environmental movement and their hatred of Capitalism. Raising the supply of energy is a sure fire way to make sure we never run out.\n\nThis is true of ANY commodity. Let's take Coca Cola for example. The reason a 12oz can of Coke only costs 75 cents from a vending machine is because that is the price that the market will bear. Now, close every Coca-Cola bottling plant in the country except one and keep the same amount of vending machines - what do you think would happen to the price? It would skyrocket because there wouldn't be enough Coke to fill the vending machine demand.\n\nOn the other hand, if you openend up Coca-Cola bottling plants on every steet corner in America - there would be so much Coke available that the price would plummet because they would have more Coca-Cola than vending machines to dispense them.\n\nThe same would be true whether you are talking about energy, Coca-Cola, steel, guns, butter or newspapers.\n\nInstead of spouting off from your a$$, maybe you should learn some Economic facts first.

wt's the value of 2^4 in java ? can nyone explain the working of ^ symbol in Java ?
|
When both operands are numeric, ^ in Java is a bitwise exclusive OR (otherwise known as XOR). In binary terms, 2^4 is the same as 00000010 XOR 00000100 which results in 00000110 (6). This is unless the ^ operator is overloaded in which case you'd have to refer to the overloaded method for XOR. If you are not familiar with XOR, XOR returns TRUE when both operands are not equal, and FALSE when both are equal.

Can anyone help me with the best workout schedule?
|
I work a 12-hour shift three days a week. With eating, sleeping, etc., I don't have much time to workout on those days. Should I skip the workout all together or do something quick? If so, do you eat before working out? What is the best workout schedule for the rest of the week (as far as what days to do cardio, weight training).
|
You definitely shouldn't skip the workout because you will feel better and be healthier if you don't.\nI am an aerobics instructor and I know from seeing many different people come and go that the best work out is one that works for your life no matter how crazy it may seem. So, find what works for you as far as when to do what. Just remember that if weight-loss is your goal, you don't want to skimp on the weight training because the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn. I have also recently read that it is just as effective to workout three times a day for ten minutes at a time as it is to workout one time for thirty minutes. In fact doing the 3 time a day thing tends to jumpstart one's metabolism. \n Also, I always eat before working out so that I will have energy! Just don't eat anything too big or too heavy. I tend to eat a bowl of cereal,small peanut butter sandwich or a granola bar if I'm on the go.

Menstrual problem? Come on, too young to be stressed out? Never to young take my word on that one. Unfortunately I know from experience. You say you are young and that your family mocks you when you mention it, have you talked with any professionals..\nIf you don't feel good yes be concerned, it is your life and you have every right to feel good. I am uncertain of your age, how about a guidance counselor at school, pastor at church, for starters. Family doctor.... Medicine may not be the best choice, maybe just a few talk sessions to sort out issues that you may be facing. You need to start somewhere and the sooner you start the sooner you will feel like you want to. Family can be hard to deal with at times like this.... bet you here things like " what have you got to be upset about" \n"you have everything going for you" sound familiar at all.... doesn't matter. Talk with someone, if you don't feel right then it is up to you to make certain that you do.... Good Luck and I will stay with you in thought

What is the MOST important thing a 17 yr. old should know a week after being diagnosed with a nonverbal LD?
|
I was diagnosed with a non-verbal LD about a week ago. I'm a 17 year old teen, who goes to a boarding school 800 miles away from home, with NO special treatment at all. I'm semi-afraid to tell teachers because I don't want to be labeled by them. At the same time, I can't stand doing over 7 hours of homework some nights, and getting only 3 hours of sleep.
|
The most important thing to know is that you made it to 17 without this knowledge and without special support. Think what you can accomplish with the support and assistance you deserve. Most psychologists/psychiatrists who can accurately diagnose this kind of learning disability would also communicate with the parents, the counselors, and the teachers about the modifications necessary for you to learn most effectively. Are you sure that yours is not going to do this?

What is defragment means in computer basis?
|
defragmenting a drive?
|
When you save and erase files, one of the objectives of the software that manages your disk is to use as much of contiguous available space as possible. This means that when you erase a file, the space occupied by that file is available for future saves. Over time the disk begins to have lots of little open spaces since every file you save (or delete) has different sizes. The next time you do a save, starting at the beginning of the disk, the disk manager begins to fill the little open spaces with fragments of the file you're saving. This means that, while the disk is efficiently used, from a space perspective, any given file is a collection of fragments spread all over the disk. The disk manager has to maintain a file of the all the locations of the fragments each saved file is made up of. This takes up a lot of time and additional space. When you open the file, the disk manager has to collect and assemble all the pieces of the file. This takes even more time and processor cycles, relatively speaking. So you may in fact see your computer running slower and slower as fragmentation becomes more and more severe.\n\nDefragmentation software does exactly that. Starting at the beginning of the disk, it opens each successive file, collecting all their fragments, and writing the entire file out to a block of open space sufficiently large to contain the entire file in one contiguous block of space. Then all the spaces used by that file are available for rewriting other defragmented files. This continues until all files are re-combined. Then the defragmentation software begins to re-organize the now defragmented files in some predetermined way; typically opertaing system files are located at the beginning of the disk to take advantage of the fact that the read-write heads of the disk are generally parked at the beginning of the disk so the read time is minimized when you turn you computer on. Also because OS-related files aren't normally modified and re-written by users. Next the Defrag software starts to store Application software, also since those files are also not typically opened, modified and saved by the user. Last the defrag mgr will save your files....photos, songs, word processing files and spreadsheets, etc. Files that you are more likely to open, modify and re-save.

Why are we having all the hoopla about the word Christmas versus holiday etc. No holiday without Christmas.?
|
As an evangelical Christian (speaking only for myself), I can honestly say that I think most people are getting way too worked up over this issue.\nThe reality is that much of what we associate with Christmas in America (trees, lights, shopping, Santa, etc), has little to do with Jesus or the Bible; and no, Dec 25th is not a Biblical date.\n\nUnfortunately, people (who might or might not be followers of Jesus Christ), tend to get very outspoken about their 'faith' when the issues involve tradition or political policies, but flatly ignore Jesus' commands to share the Gospel, help the poor, etc.\n\nI do think that much of the Christian community's public reaction to this issue is a result of frustration with our "political correctness"-obsessed society. We are under increasing pressure to keep our beliefs to ourselves (although our God and our consciences clearly tell us to do the opposite). We often feel that we're being asked to concede our 'free speech' rights in order to avoid offending someone, while also being asked to tolerate other people's statements that are very offensive to us. All the frustration comes out in these highly-publicized and 'easy' issues.\n\nBottom line:\nIt's easier and less controversial to say "Jesus is the Reason for the Season", than to say "God came to earth as a man, died on the Cross in payment for your wrong-doing, and rose to life again so that you can have eternal life with God."

And if you have read my other question along with this one- that was my reasoning on it. Please advise.

try and see him, so that he can explain his actions to you. well most of the time, this kind of action means that he does not want the relationship again. since losing the relationship means nothing to you, call it off and allow him stew in his juice. if he does not want to be a part of your life dont force him, you can live your life wonderfully without him. cheers.

It's causing me problems, like being unable to talk to my boyfriend. I've been pretty much abused my whole life. And I just can't deal with it anymore? Is there anyway to make the pain stop
|
Have you tried counselling? It might seem quite daunting first of all, but it sounds like talking to someone impartial could help. The pain will stop when you learn to recognise that you have been through a ordeal and you need to accept some form of help. It's good that you are in another relationship; if your boyfriend is supportive and understands that you need time to get over what has happened.\n If you find yourself becoming anxious or upset, you could try Bach Flower Remedies (the Rescue Remedy is good), they help relieve a lot of ailments, such as insomnia etc. Most of all, recognising that there is a problem is half way to solving it. Talk to people that you trust and can confide in; and if things don't get easier, seriously consider counselling as a means to get over things. Good luck!!
