8,403	6Business & Finance	Non-US resident investing in mutual fund/index fund?	Can non-US residents invest in US based index fund or mutual fund ? What is the typical minimum requirement ? Tax implications ? Can direct me to relevant sites particularly on this topic ?	This is a two prong question, that can only be answered in general terms. As long as a fund is listed on an exchange, it can be bought just as a stock by a non resident through their bank or brokerage account. Many index funds as well as Closed End Funds are listed (you can check www.morningstar.com for a complete list of ETF's). Please note that as a non resident, you may be subject to witholding tax everytime the fund pays a dividend. Ordinary Mutual Funds are regulated differently and in general cannot be bought by non residents.

8,407	4Computers & Internet	What is Yahoo and Google?		A "google" is the number 10^100. A "googleplex" is an even larger number 10^[(10)^100]\n\nGoogle is a listed company in the USA. Their primary goal is to provide a means for people to search for information available on the Internet. Secondary goals are to provide people with tools to manage their daily tasks, like email, Internet Voice Chatting, managing pictures, etc. Aside from their usual search page they have loads of specialist search pages to help narrow down the results.\n\nFor the company Yahoo, it stands for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". s an American computer services company with a mission to "be the most essential global Internet service for consumers and businesses". It operates an Internet portal, the Yahoo! Directory and a host of other services including the popular Yahoo! Mail. It was founded by Stanford graduate students David Filo and Jerry Yang in January 1994 and incorporated on March 2, 1995. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.\nYahoo! started out as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo is an acronym, but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo, as in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki"—both named after legendary sumo wrestlers. The "yet another" phrasing goes back at least to the Unix utility yacc, whose name is an acronym for "yet another compiler compiler".\n\nYahoo had its initial public offering on April 12, 1996, selling 2.6 million shares at $13 each.\n\nAs Yahoo's popularity has increased, so has the range of features it offers, making it a kind of one-stop shop for all the popular activities of the Internet. These now include: Yahoo! Mail, a Web-based e-mail service, an instant messaging client, a very popular mailing list service (Yahoo! Groups), online gaming and chat, various news and information portals, online shopping and auction facilities. Many of these are based at least in part on previously independent services, which Yahoo has acquired - such as the popular GeoCities free Web-hosting service, Rocketmail, and various competing mailing list providers such as eGroups. Many of these take-overs were controversial and unpopular with users of the existing services, as Yahoo often changed the relevant terms of service. An example of this would be their claiming intellectual property rights for the content on their servers, which the original companies had not done.\n\nCheck out some Photographs and Videos Of Google : \n\nCheck out this slide show:\nhttp://www.6smarketing.com/googlevisit/photo_1.php\n\nA downloadable 60 Minutes Google Show\nhttp://junk.haughey.com/60Minutes.avi\n\nGoogle Dance 2005 Video\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7283929917980410373&q=googleplex\nhttp://www.google.com/googledance2005/\n\nGoogle Factory Video\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3383042311441257769&q=google+ad&time=6915000\n\nYou can find a glimpse inside Googlepex at http://www.google.com/intl/en/plex/\nIt shows the Googlers at work & play!\n\nAnother link is http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/culture.html

8,410	2Health	which are better... sit ups or crunches?		Traditional sit-ups emphasize sitting up rather than merely pulling your sternum down to meet your pelvis. The psoas muscles run from the lower back to the front of the thighs. This muscle action is to pull the thighs closer to the torso.\n\nThis action is the major component of sitting up. Because of this, when you are doing sit ups your psoas muscles are the primary muscles being engaged and not your abdominal exercises. So sit-ups are a pretty useless exercise if you want to get your abs in shape. Instead, use crunches, because they directly work your abs.

8,418	0Society & Culture	Are the Freemasons really bad people?		Dude...it depends on who you ask. If you know a Freemason, they'll tell they don't worship the devil and they are community service oriented. However, if you believe conspiracy theorists, they worship the devil and they actually have to kill someone in order to be dubbed Grand Marshall of their group. For the most part, I think the conspiracy theorists just like most people don't like the secrecy around Freemason and made stuff up...just like the Spanish Inquisition.

8,421	1Science & Mathematics	Poseidon, the 10th planet?	Few years ago scientists claimed that they had found the 10th planet of the solar system called Poseidon. But over the years, the claim has been refuted. So does the planet exist?	You have to understand that as telescopic and computing power increase, we will be finding tons of new "planets" in the solar system. Most people agree, that Neptune is the last "true" planet in the solar system. Pluto is likely just an object in the Kuiper Belt, an area on the outskirts of the Solar System, where the Sun's influence dwindles rapidly and there are tons of rocks floating around. Pluto has a minor atmosphere and a moon, Charon. There is a debate that starts up every time a new large object is found around where Pluto is, this happens every few years. Bottom line: there probably won't be any more planets added to the roster, and Pluto won't lose its planetary status...there is just too much involved in changing things. So, to answer your question, Poseidon probably exists, but its probably not going to be a planet.
8,422	1Science & Mathematics	how is energy packaged?	regarding physics	If this is in regards to quantum physics, energy is not, in general quantized "packaged" at all. It is possible to have an arbitrarily small amount of energy. "Action", on the other hand, which has units of energy*time is quantized in packages of hbar/2. This means there is no amount of action smaller than hbar/2.

8,426	1Science & Mathematics	how do i know if i'm psychic?		You should be able to predict the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper; every day. Perhaps nobody is psychic. Perhaps only a few have the power. Many people (including me) have had what seemed to be phychic events, for example thinking of someone you haven't seen for years just before they call or visit. But of the millions of people in the population, each of whom knows hundreds of people and each of whom have a thousands or more thoughts a day, there must be many unexpected coincidences. They even call it synchronicity.\n\nYou can actually run a few simple experiments by learning to swing a simple pendulum to amplify your inner thoughts. This was a popular parlor game; similar to ouija boards but more sensitive. I suggest you suspend a small weight (e.g., a ring) from a short string or thread over a piece of paper on a table. Sit at the table with your elbow on it and allow the ring to swing over the paper. The pendulum can swing back and forth toward you or at a right angle from that (forming a simple cross). And it can swing in a circle clockwise or counter-clockwise. Tell yourself that it will swing back and forth to answer questions YES and the other way to answer NO. Ask the pendulum which way it will answer YES then label your diagram with arrowheads and YES on one line. Be patient and try until you get a clear signal. Ask it to move for NO. The pendulum merely takes small involuntary muscle movements and allows them to be amplified (like pushing a child's swing). In like manner label the curved arrows I DON'T KNOW and I DONT WANT TO TELL. The last protects you when the answer is too shocking (Did I kill my dog? YES! But you only fed it too much, etc.).\n\nNext ask the pendulum simple questions that you know the answer to. Is my car red? YES It actually is. Is my car black? NO That checks out OK, etc.\n\nWhen skilled with the pendulum ask more difficult questions like "Do I know where I left my lost watch?" If your subconscious mind knows you may get a YES. Narrow it down with YES and NO responses. Is it in the house?\n\nLastly, ask if you have psychic powers. Ask several times on different days. If YES, ask questions that require predictions like will I find money next week? Remember that even good psychics don't claim to have the powers all the time. Good luck.

8,428	4Computers & Internet	This maybe dumb....well..what is basically the difference between a chipset and a motherboard?		A motherboard houses the chipset, among other things. Try opening up your PC case and look down into the guts. Chipsets are often by certain manufacturers, such as Via and labeled accordingly. They form the "glue" to piece together bits of the motherboard for the CPU. Often there are 2 chips associated with chipsets.

8,430	6Business & Finance	Bad credit choices in past.?	I was very stupid with credit while i was younger. I never paid on five different credit cards. There is now five years since the last activity is being reported. I want to purchase a house within the next year and cant wait the seven years that it takes. They all say paid collection or charge-off. Any ideas on how to approach the compainies so they get some money back and upgrade my account? What percentage should I offer them as a settlement. I keep hearing they sell the accounts for pennies on the dollar. Any idea how much they really get? \nOne of the accounts is an open collection account that is reported every month. Should I leave it alone also?	Credit is nothing more than an agreement, a promise. If you failed to pay in the past, and you want to get someone to loan to you again, you have to repay what you borrowed. If you are going to instead see how little you can pay to eliminate your past debt, your new lender has got to think that you will treat him the same way.\n\nPay your debt...or suffer the consequences. As you said, you made some bad previous choices. Either own up to them (and pay) or work through the various options of being a renter until your bankruptcy is discharged, etc.\n\nIt's hard to get a new lender to believe you are credit-worthy (aka, "trustworthy") if your primary goal is to NOT pay your debt in full.
8,431	1Science & Mathematics	What is bioinformatics?		bioinformatics \nBioinformatics or computational biology is the use of techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science to solve biological problems. Research in computational biology often overlaps with systems biology. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, and the modeling of evolution. The terms bioinformatics and computational biology are often used interchangeably, although the latter typically focuses on algorithm development and specific computational methods. (In the biology-mathematics-computer science triad, bioinformatics will intimately involve all three components while computational biology will focus on biology and mathematics.) A common thread in projects in bioinformatics and computational biology is the use of mathematical tools to extract useful information from noisy data produced by high-throughput biological techniques. (The field of data mining overlaps with computational biology in this regard.) Representative problems in computational biology include the assembly of high-quality DNA sequences from fragmentary "shotgun" DNA sequencing, and the prediction of gene regulation with data from mRNA microarrays or mass spectrometry.

8,441	9Politics & Government	Why do we need the patriot act, seriously?	Do you think that maybe "they" might be getting a little too much into our freedoms? Example: Disagee with the powers that be and instead of being a "protester" you become a potential threat to the security of the United States and listed as a terroist and come take all you own and throw you away to who knows where.	Seriously we don't. The Gov. been into our freedom long before the Patriot Act., to know our every move all they need is our SS# ( I remember when this was only used to get a job, now you better know it without looking at it or you're not who you say you are). Congress knowing this and to (as if they were doing us a favor) look good denied the extention.
8,442	6Business & Finance	Can a parent give a lottery ticket to a 17 yr old & the child cash it on his 18th birthday?	In most states you must be 18 to play. If the parent has the winning powerball ticket can he give it to his child to cash on his 18th birthday or must the chid be 18 when the ticket was bought?	It's not illegal in most states for a minor to PLAY the lottery, only to purchase lottery tickets. As a kid, my mom would buy me a ticket, I'd scratch it, and if I won a $1 or a free ticket or something, I'd hand it right back to my mom and she'd turn it in, all in front of the clerk. (of course that was 20 years ago) \n\nJust make sure you don't have to claim your prize before your kids 18th birthday. There is a "must claim prize by:" date on the tickets or rules of the game.

8,444	1Science & Mathematics	Dose the moon orbit the sun?		If we just look at the sun, earth, moon system, all three bodies orbit the center of mass of this 3-body system. Since the sun is much more massive than the other two bodies, the location of the center of mass of this system is inside the sun, so the sun moves very little, while the earth and moon appear to orbit the sun.\n\nNow, the earth and the moon also interact gravitationally, and they orbit the center of mass of the earth moon system The center of mass of this earth-moon system is located inside the earth, so the moon looks like it orbits the earth. \n\nYou can view the earth and moon as being in orbit around their center of mass, and the earth-moon system center of mass being in orbit around the earth-sun-moon system.\n\nIf the sun, earth, moon had equivalent masses, and if there were no other gravity bodies in the universe, they would appear to have orbits around the center of mass of this smaller earth, moon, sun system.\n\nI think the term"orbit" can be a little confusing because it's not always clearly defined. The gravitational attraction of the sun on the moon is greater than the earth's attraction on the moon, so you could also argue that the moon really orbits the sun, with it's orbit modified by the earth.
8,445	0Society & Culture	Is the trandition of Christmas Lights based on a pagan holiday?	by far the biggest celebration was roman holiday of "festival of lights" is on the winter solitice, is it true that Christians just added 3 days to make Dec 24 Christmas eve?	Yes. In fact, almost all of the traditions of Christmas were "stolen" (if you will) by the Christian religion from the pagan celebration of the winter solstice.\n\nAnd, by the way, "pagan" doesn't mean satanic, nor does it mean "having no religion" in this context. Rather, in ancient Rome, pagans followed a polytheistic religion.\n\nThe winter celebration was called the festival of Saturnalia. "By the fourth century, the pagans were worshipping the god of the sun on December 25, and the Christians came to a decision: if you can't stop 'em, join 'em. They claimed (contrary to known fact) that the date was Jesus' birthday, and usurped the solstice holiday for their Church."\n\nLights were very much a representation of the stars and sun, as a way to celebrate the pleasures of life.
8,446	9Politics & Government	Has anyone proven that saddam has anything to do with 911 or WMD's?	I dont like Saddam... then I dont like bush either... Saddam was due to fall... but using 911 as a blanket excuse is pretty lame.	Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Saddam definitely did, at one point, have WMD's but the Allied forces removed/destroyed them all in the first gulf war.\n\nBush, on the other hand, used 9/11 as an excuse to attack Saddam. This is something many of us believe he intended to do long before 9/11.

8,448	6Business & Finance	How do you ask your husband to be more loving to you and your kid without making him mad?		If you can't tell your husband anything of that nature then there's a problem.

If he gets mad b/c you want him to be that way to you and yours then a divorce will come soon b/c eventually you will get fed up.
8,449	5Sports	Where can I find ranking for nfl defence passing/rushing?		nfl.com
8,450	6Business & Finance	How much chlorine should I mix with 1000lts. of drinking water to kill all bacteria?		It depends on what method of chlorine disinfection you use. Disinfecting not only depends on the initial reations, but the byproducts created. Those initial reactants are highly reactive, therefore they are very effective disinfectants, but don't last long in the water to supply to keep disinfecting. The byproducts created last longer, but aren't as effective. Disinfection depends on two things: concentration and exposure time.\n\nIf using chlorine bleach, 10 drops will be needed per liter at 1%-3% concentration. 2 drops per liter at 4%-6% concentration. And 1 drop per liter at 7%-10% concentration. The treated water should be mixed thoroughly and allowed to stand, preferably covered, for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor; if not, repeat the dosage and allow the water to stand for an additional 15 minutes. If the treated water has too strong a chlorine taste, it can be made more pleasing by allowing the water to stand exposed to the air for a few hours or by pouring it from one clean container to another several times.\n\nGranular calcium hypochlorite. To disinfect water, add the chlorine solution in the ratio of one part of chlorine solution to each 100 parts of water to be treated. This is roughly equal to adding 1 pint (480 mL) of stock chlorine to each 50 liters of water to be disinfected. To remove any objectionable chlorine odor, aerate the water as described above.

8,452	4Computers & Internet	can i salvage music off a dead photo ipod?	i've tried to reset both plugged and not. i see a half full static battery image in grey when plugged in and nothing at all when not plugged in - i know it's under warenty but am worried that i won't see my files again.	If the error is not a hard drive failure, you theoretically should be able to recover your data. It would effectively require either (a) fixing the unit (most likely by replacing the defective component) or (b) getting the iPod to at least mount on your computer so you can get the files off.\n\nPractically speaking, it may be more difficult. Apple generally handles warranty repairs by simply swapping the iPod out for a new one. (The assumption they seem to make is that the music stored on the iPod is on your computer in iTunes, allowing you to sync a new iPod to that.) If you're planning to get a warranty repair, be prepared anything which is only on your iPod.\n\nSo your best bet is trying to figure out how to get the iPod to connect to a computer, either to iTunes or simply as an external drive. If you can do that, you have a chance of getting your files back. If you live near an Apple store, try visiting their in-house tech support (AKA the Genius Bar). Once the data are safe, you can get your iPod exchanged.

There isn't a standard litmus test for identifying your political party.

My priest even cringes, but explains to me that "Prophets" are not all seeing people, they just try to look at the current times and portray a direction for future times. So, even he must kinda agree that “South Park” is a prophecy tool, based on his definition of a prophet. Thus, I may not be too far off using "South Park" as a prophesy tool, but I'm always much more in line when I follow the church.\n\nI mean, “South Park” hits on every religion, race, creed, and form of human dignity, and then plots a story about these and places them into a humble place. It makes so much sense that it’s funny and scary.\n\nMy ending result is I take my weird "South Park" and other movie dogma's to my priest and pick his brain. I think Father Kevin actually likes this, because he see's that I'm thinking and usually, the questions I come up with are challenging and intelligent even though they come from the most bizzare sources.

If you wish to invest in stocks, study FA (Fundamental Analysis) to determine the financial qualities of a company and TA (Technical Analysis) to determine investor sentiment about the company.

8,481	3Education & Reference	we need more things to show awereness for autism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?	we have all kind of famous people doing stuff for cancer aids stim cell research why can some one do some for autism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	I think there is a lot of awareness that there is a thing called autism. But people are woefully ignorant of what autism is like. I know I've mentioned that my niece has autism & people have said things like "Have you ever taken her to Las Vegas?" Then I have to explain that "Rain Man" was FICTION! Even though the character was inspired by some real people, Hollywood got a hold of the script & had to exsagerate. \n\nAnd "Autism" can mean so many things, too. \n\nOne of the questions here included a description of "geeks watching Star Trek" as autism. I guess they were refering to Aspergers. When I hear people saying things like "Autism doesn't need treatment or a cure" I can't help but think they must be refering to Aspergers.\n\nThen there's strict autsim. My brother would keep his baseball mitt mearby for when his daughter would have fits. He'd use it to "catch" her head as she was trying to bang it on tables, walls, or the floor. Thankfully, she doesn't do that anymore & she's finally out of diapers (at age 8) but hardly has any words. She can understand a lot, but can't color in the lines, much less, write!\n\nSometimes I think it is a mistake classifying Aspergers & "strict" autism under the same umbrella of "Autism Spectrum Disorders."

8,495	1Science & Mathematics	how are opals formed?		A Simple Explanation - Opal is formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water. As water runs down through the earth, it picks up silica from sandstone, and carries this silica-rich solution into cracks and voids , caused by natural faults or decomposing fossils. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a silica deposit. This cycle repeats over very long periods of time, and eventually opal is formed. The solution is believed to have a rate of deposition of approximately one centimetre thickness in five million years at a depth of forty metres.\n\nA Detailed Explanation - Occasionally, when conditions are ideal, spheres of silica, contained in silica-rich solutions in the earth form and settle under gravity in a void to form layers of silica spheres. If the process allows spheres to reach uniform size, then precious opal commences to form. For precious opal the sphere size ranges from approximately 150 to 400 nanometres producing a play of colour by diffraction in the visible light range of 400 to 700 nanometres. \n\nEach local opal field or occurrence must have contained voids or porosity of some sort to provide a site for opal deposition. In volcanic rocks and adjacent environments the opal appears to fill only vughs and cracks whereas in sedimentary rocks there are a variety of voids created by the weathering process. Leaching of carbonate from boulders, nodules, many different fossils, along with the existing cracks, open centres of ironstone nodules and horizontal seams provide a myriad of moulds ready for the deposition of secondary minerals such as opal. \n\nMuch of the opal deposition is not precious. It is called "potch" by the miners, or common opal by the mineralogist, as it does not show a play of colour. Opaline silica not only fills the larger voids mentioned but also may fill the pore space in silt and sand size sediments cementing the grains together forming unique deposits, known as matrix, opalised sandstone or "concrete" which is a more conglomeratic unit near the base of early Cretaceous sediments. \n\nThe many variations in the types of opal depends on a number of factors. In particular, the climate provides alternating wet and dry periods, creating a rising or more importantly a falling water table which concentrates any silica in solution. The silica itself is formed either by volcanic origin or by deep weathering of Cretaceous clay sediments producing both silica and white kaolin often seen associated with the Australian opal fields. Special conditions must also prevail to slow down a falling water table in order to provide the unique situation for the production of its own variety of opal. \n\nThe chemical conditions responsible for producing opal are still being researched, however some maintain that there must be acidic conditions at some stage during the process to form silica spheres, possibly created by microbes.\n\nWhile volcanic-hosted and other types of precious opal are found in Australia, virtually all economic production comes from sediment-hosted deposits associated with the Great Australian Basin. Australia has three major varieties of natural sediment-hosted precious opal - black opals from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, white opals from South Australia, and Queensland boulder and matrix opal.\n\nBoulder Opal forms in a slightly different method to other types of opal, forming inside an ironstone concretion. The concretion was formed due to ionisation, from sedimentary deposition. By definition, they are ionised concretions of varying hardness with an approximate opal composition of SiO2at 28%, Fe2O3 + AL203 at 68% and H2O at 1% composition.

What is Yahoo and Google?

A "google" is the number 10^100. A "googleplex" is an even larger number 10^[(10)^100]\n\nGoogle is a listed company in the USA. Their primary goal is to provide a means for people to search for information available on the Internet. Secondary goals are to provide people with tools to manage their daily tasks, like email, Internet Voice Chatting, managing pictures, etc. Aside from their usual search page they have loads of specialist search pages to help narrow down the results.\n\nFor the company Yahoo, it stands for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". s an American computer services company with a mission to "be the most essential global Internet service for consumers and businesses". It operates an Internet portal, the Yahoo! Directory and a host of other services including the popular Yahoo! Mail. It was founded by Stanford graduate students David Filo and Jerry Yang in January 1994 and incorporated on March 2, 1995. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.\nYahoo! started out as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo is an acronym, but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo, as in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki"—both named after legendary sumo wrestlers. The "yet another" phrasing goes back at least to the Unix utility yacc, whose name is an acronym for "yet another compiler compiler".\n\nYahoo had its initial public offering on April 12, 1996, selling 2.6 million shares at $13 each.\n\nAs Yahoo's popularity has increased, so has the range of features it offers, making it a kind of one-stop shop for all the popular activities of the Internet. These now include: Yahoo! Mail, a Web-based e-mail service, an instant messaging client, a very popular mailing list service (Yahoo! Groups), online gaming and chat, various news and information portals, online shopping and auction facilities. Many of these are based at least in part on previously independent services, which Yahoo has acquired - such as the popular GeoCities free Web-hosting service, Rocketmail, and various competing mailing list providers such as eGroups. Many of these take-overs were controversial and unpopular with users of the existing services, as Yahoo often changed the relevant terms of service. An example of this would be their claiming intellectual property rights for the content on their servers, which the original companies had not done.\n\nCheck out some Photographs and Videos Of Google : \n\nCheck out this slide show:\nhttp://www.6smarketing.com/googlevisit/photo_1.php\n\nA downloadable 60 Minutes Google Show\nhttp://junk.haughey.com/60Minutes.avi\n\nGoogle Dance 2005 Video\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7283929917980410373&q=googleplex\nhttp://www.google.com/googledance2005/\n\nGoogle Factory Video\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3383042311441257769&q=google+ad&time=6915000\n\nYou can find a glimpse inside Googlepex at http://www.google.com/intl/en/plex/\nIt shows the Googlers at work & play!\n\nAnother link is http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/culture.html

which are better... sit ups or crunches?

Traditional sit-ups emphasize sitting up rather than merely pulling your sternum down to meet your pelvis. The psoas muscles run from the lower back to the front of the thighs. This muscle action is to pull the thighs closer to the torso.\n\nThis action is the major component of sitting up. Because of this, when you are doing sit ups your psoas muscles are the primary muscles being engaged and not your abdominal exercises. So sit-ups are a pretty useless exercise if you want to get your abs in shape. Instead, use crunches, because they directly work your abs.

Are the Freemasons really bad people?

Dude...it depends on who you ask. If you know a Freemason, they'll tell they don't worship the devil and they are community service oriented. However, if you believe conspiracy theorists, they worship the devil and they actually have to kill someone in order to be dubbed Grand Marshall of their group. For the most part, I think the conspiracy theorists just like most people don't like the secrecy around Freemason and made stuff up...just like the Spanish Inquisition.

Poseidon, the 10th planet?

Few years ago scientists claimed that they had found the 10th planet of the solar system called Poseidon. But over the years, the claim has been refuted. So does the planet exist?

You have to understand that as telescopic and computing power increase, we will be finding tons of new "planets" in the solar system. Most people agree, that Neptune is the last "true" planet in the solar system. Pluto is likely just an object in the Kuiper Belt, an area on the outskirts of the Solar System, where the Sun's influence dwindles rapidly and there are tons of rocks floating around. Pluto has a minor atmosphere and a moon, Charon. There is a debate that starts up every time a new large object is found around where Pluto is, this happens every few years. Bottom line: there probably won't be any more planets added to the roster, and Pluto won't lose its planetary status...there is just too much involved in changing things. So, to answer your question, Poseidon probably exists, but its probably not going to be a planet.

how do i know if i'm psychic?

You should be able to predict the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper; every day. Perhaps nobody is psychic. Perhaps only a few have the power. Many people (including me) have had what seemed to be phychic events, for example thinking of someone you haven't seen for years just before they call or visit. But of the millions of people in the population, each of whom knows hundreds of people and each of whom have a thousands or more thoughts a day, there must be many unexpected coincidences. They even call it synchronicity.\n\nYou can actually run a few simple experiments by learning to swing a simple pendulum to amplify your inner thoughts. This was a popular parlor game; similar to ouija boards but more sensitive. I suggest you suspend a small weight (e.g., a ring) from a short string or thread over a piece of paper on a table. Sit at the table with your elbow on it and allow the ring to swing over the paper. The pendulum can swing back and forth toward you or at a right angle from that (forming a simple cross). And it can swing in a circle clockwise or counter-clockwise. Tell yourself that it will swing back and forth to answer questions YES and the other way to answer NO. Ask the pendulum which way it will answer YES then label your diagram with arrowheads and YES on one line. Be patient and try until you get a clear signal. Ask it to move for NO. The pendulum merely takes small involuntary muscle movements and allows them to be amplified (like pushing a child's swing). In like manner label the curved arrows I DON'T KNOW and I DONT WANT TO TELL. The last protects you when the answer is too shocking (Did I kill my dog? YES! But you only fed it too much, etc.).\n\nNext ask the pendulum simple questions that you know the answer to. Is my car red? YES It actually is. Is my car black? NO That checks out OK, etc.\n\nWhen skilled with the pendulum ask more difficult questions like "Do I know where I left my lost watch?" If your subconscious mind knows you may get a YES. Narrow it down with YES and NO responses. Is it in the house?\n\nLastly, ask if you have psychic powers. Ask several times on different days. If YES, ask questions that require predictions like will I find money next week? Remember that even good psychics don't claim to have the powers all the time. Good luck.

Bad credit choices in past.?

I was very stupid with credit while i was younger. I never paid on five different credit cards. There is now five years since the last activity is being reported. I want to purchase a house within the next year and cant wait the seven years that it takes. They all say paid collection or charge-off. Any ideas on how to approach the compainies so they get some money back and upgrade my account? What percentage should I offer them as a settlement. I keep hearing they sell the accounts for pennies on the dollar. Any idea how much they really get? \nOne of the accounts is an open collection account that is reported every month. Should I leave it alone also?

Credit is nothing more than an agreement, a promise. If you failed to pay in the past, and you want to get someone to loan to you again, you have to repay what you borrowed. If you are going to instead see how little you can pay to eliminate your past debt, your new lender has got to think that you will treat him the same way.\n\nPay your debt...or suffer the consequences. As you said, you made some bad previous choices. Either own up to them (and pay) or work through the various options of being a renter until your bankruptcy is discharged, etc.\n\nIt's hard to get a new lender to believe you are credit-worthy (aka, "trustworthy") if your primary goal is to *NOT* pay your debt in full.

What is bioinformatics?

bioinformatics \nBioinformatics or computational biology is the use of techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science to solve biological problems. Research in computational biology often overlaps with systems biology. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, and the modeling of evolution. The terms bioinformatics and computational biology are often used interchangeably, although the latter typically focuses on algorithm development and specific computational methods. (In the biology-mathematics-computer science triad, bioinformatics will intimately involve all three components while computational biology will focus on biology and mathematics.) A common thread in projects in bioinformatics and computational biology is the use of mathematical tools to extract useful information from noisy data produced by high-throughput biological techniques. (The field of data mining overlaps with computational biology in this regard.) Representative problems in computational biology include the assembly of high-quality DNA sequences from fragmentary "shotgun" DNA sequencing, and the prediction of gene regulation with data from mRNA microarrays or mass spectrometry.

Dose the moon orbit the sun?

If we just look at the sun, earth, moon system, all three bodies orbit the center of mass of this 3-body system. Since the sun is much more massive than the other two bodies, the location of the center of mass of this system is inside the sun, so the sun moves very little, while the earth and moon appear to orbit the sun.\n\nNow, the earth and the moon also interact gravitationally, and they orbit the center of mass of the earth moon system The center of mass of this earth-moon system is located inside the earth, so the moon looks like it orbits the earth. \n\nYou can view the earth and moon as being in orbit around their center of mass, and the earth-moon system center of mass being in orbit around the earth-sun-moon system.\n\nIf the sun, earth, moon had equivalent masses, and if there were no other gravity bodies in the universe, they would appear to have orbits around the center of mass of this smaller earth, moon, sun system.\n\nI think the term"orbit" can be a little confusing because it's not always clearly defined. The gravitational attraction of the sun on the moon is greater than the earth's attraction on the moon, so you could also argue that the moon really orbits the sun, with it's orbit modified by the earth.

Is the trandition of Christmas Lights based on a pagan holiday?

by far the biggest celebration was roman holiday of "festival of lights" is on the winter solitice, is it true that Christians just added 3 days to make Dec 24 Christmas eve?

Yes. In fact, almost all of the traditions of Christmas were "stolen" (if you will) by the Christian religion from the pagan celebration of the winter solstice.\n\nAnd, by the way, "pagan" doesn't mean satanic, nor does it mean "having no religion" in this context. Rather, in ancient Rome, pagans followed a polytheistic religion.\n\nThe winter celebration was called the festival of Saturnalia. "By the fourth century, the pagans were worshipping the god of the sun on December 25, and the Christians came to a decision: if you can't stop 'em, join 'em. They claimed (contrary to known fact) that the date was Jesus' birthday, and usurped the solstice holiday for their Church."\n\nLights were very much a representation of the stars and sun, as a way to celebrate the pleasures of life.

How much chlorine should I mix with 1000lts. of drinking water to kill all bacteria?

It depends on what method of chlorine disinfection you use. Disinfecting not only depends on the initial reations, but the byproducts created. Those initial reactants are highly reactive, therefore they are very effective disinfectants, but don't last long in the water to supply to keep disinfecting. The byproducts created last longer, but aren't as effective. Disinfection depends on two things: concentration and exposure time.\n\nIf using chlorine bleach, 10 drops will be needed per liter at 1%-3% concentration. 2 drops per liter at 4%-6% concentration. And 1 drop per liter at 7%-10% concentration. The treated water should be mixed thoroughly and allowed to stand, preferably covered, for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor; if not, repeat the dosage and allow the water to stand for an additional 15 minutes. If the treated water has too strong a chlorine taste, it can be made more pleasing by allowing the water to stand exposed to the air for a few hours or by pouring it from one clean container to another several times.\n\nGranular calcium hypochlorite. To disinfect water, add the chlorine solution in the ratio of one part of chlorine solution to each 100 parts of water to be treated. This is roughly equal to adding 1 pint (480 mL) of stock chlorine to each 50 liters of water to be disinfected. To remove any objectionable chlorine odor, aerate the water as described above.

If the error is not a hard drive failure, you theoretically should be able to recover your data. It would effectively require either (a) fixing the unit (most likely by replacing the defective component) or (b) getting the iPod to at least mount on your computer so you can get the files off.\n\nPractically speaking, it may be more difficult. Apple generally handles warranty repairs by simply swapping the iPod out for a new one. (The assumption they seem to make is that the music stored on the iPod is on your computer in iTunes, allowing you to sync a new iPod to that.) If you're planning to get a warranty repair, be prepared anything which is only on your iPod.\n\nSo your best bet is trying to figure out how to get the iPod to connect to a computer, either to iTunes or simply as an external drive. If you can do that, you have a chance of getting your files back. If you live near an Apple store, try visiting their in-house tech support (AKA the Genius Bar). Once the data are safe, you can get your iPod exchanged.

Thus, I may not be too far off using "South Park" as a prophesy tool, but I'm always much more in line when I follow the church.\n\nI mean, “South Park” hits on every religion, race, creed, and form of human dignity, and then plots a story about these and places them into a humble place.

What is a good thing to do for my boyfriend on his birthday?

My boyfriends birthday is coming up. I want to do something nice for him, since he has asked me not to buy anything for him this year since I got him gifts for Christmas. I can spend some money, but would like to spend as little as possible, because he has asked me to put any money I would spend, up for a vacation together. He will be 20 and we have been together for almost 2 years now. We live in Missouri, not too far from St. Louis.

A nice candlelit dinner and then give him a massage following dinner....he'll like that a lot : )

Why do some Christians persist on trying to convert a person to their religion?

I have Evangelical Christian neighbors that have asked me to go to church with them many times, after I told them no and explained why many times.I have also been approached my strangers of the same religion, giving me flyers and trying to persuade me to come to church and other church events. This is incredibly irritating and insulting to many people. I have never had any other person from another religion act this way towards me, so why don't they just stop???

As i'm not a christian i find this quite annoying. So to me, it's just because they disrespect anyone who is not of their faith.\n\nSo, in turn, i try and scare them as best as possible. I remember comming down one time from upstairs to answer the door. Person took one good look at the athame in my hand and pentagram around my neck and litterly bolted to their car and sped off :)\n\nOf course i was just cutting herbs and i always wear my necklace LOL, but he didn't know that :)\n\nI love pissing off and scaring christians, it's quite fun :)

we need more things to show awereness for autism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

we have all kind of famous people doing stuff for cancer aids stim cell research why can some one do some for autism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there is a lot of awareness that there is a thing called autism. But people are woefully ignorant of what autism is like. I know I've mentioned that my niece has autism & people have said things like "Have you ever taken her to Las Vegas?" Then I have to explain that "Rain Man" was FICTION! Even though the character was inspired by some real people, Hollywood got a hold of the script & had to exsagerate. \n\nAnd "Autism" can mean so many things, too. \n\nOne of the questions here included a description of "geeks watching Star Trek" as autism. I guess they were refering to Aspergers. When I hear people saying things like "Autism doesn't need treatment or a cure" I can't help but think they must be refering to Aspergers.\n\nThen there's strict autsim. My brother would keep his baseball mitt mearby for when his daughter would have fits. He'd use it to "catch" her head as she was trying to bang it on tables, walls, or the floor. Thankfully, she doesn't do that anymore & she's finally out of diapers (at age 8) but hardly has any words. She can understand a lot, but can't color in the lines, much less, write!\n\nSometimes I think it is a mistake classifying Aspergers & "strict" autism under the same umbrella of "Autism Spectrum Disorders."

What does a person need to lend money legally? where to go and get info?

Are you talking about a one time loan or getting into the loan business? If you want to loan money professionally, try your state banking regulators, as has been suggested. For personal loans, this is really contract law and all you need is a written promissory note. \n\nIf I were to lend money to a friend, relative, or other person, I'd use the Circle Lending system, so I recommend visiting their site.

how are opals formed?

A Simple Explanation - Opal is formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water. As water runs down through the earth, it picks up silica from sandstone, and carries this silica-rich solution into cracks and voids , caused by natural faults or decomposing fossils. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a silica deposit. This cycle repeats over very long periods of time, and eventually opal is formed. The solution is believed to have a rate of deposition of approximately one centimetre thickness in five million years at a depth of forty metres.\n\nA Detailed Explanation - Occasionally, when conditions are ideal, spheres of silica, contained in silica-rich solutions in the earth form and settle under gravity in a void to form layers of silica spheres. If the process allows spheres to reach uniform size, then precious opal commences to form. For precious opal the sphere size ranges from approximately 150 to 400 nanometres producing a play of colour by diffraction in the visible light range of 400 to 700 nanometres. \n\nEach local opal field or occurrence must have contained voids or porosity of some sort to provide a site for opal deposition. In volcanic rocks and adjacent environments the opal appears to fill only vughs and cracks whereas in sedimentary rocks there are a variety of voids created by the weathering process. Leaching of carbonate from boulders, nodules, many different fossils, along with the existing cracks, open centres of ironstone nodules and horizontal seams provide a myriad of moulds ready for the deposition of secondary minerals such as opal. \n\nMuch of the opal deposition is not precious. It is called "potch" by the miners, or common opal by the mineralogist, as it does not show a play of colour. Opaline silica not only fills the larger voids mentioned but also may fill the pore space in silt and sand size sediments cementing the grains together forming unique deposits, known as matrix, opalised sandstone or "concrete" which is a more conglomeratic unit near the base of early Cretaceous sediments. \n\nThe many variations in the types of opal depends on a number of factors. In particular, the climate provides alternating wet and dry periods, creating a rising or more importantly a falling water table which concentrates any silica in solution. The silica itself is formed either by volcanic origin or by deep weathering of Cretaceous clay sediments producing both silica and white kaolin often seen associated with the Australian opal fields. Special conditions must also prevail to slow down a falling water table in order to provide the unique situation for the production of its own variety of opal. \n\nThe chemical conditions responsible for producing opal are still being researched, however some maintain that there must be acidic conditions at some stage during the process to form silica spheres, possibly created by microbes.\n\nWhile volcanic-hosted and other types of precious opal are found in Australia, virtually all economic production comes from sediment-hosted deposits associated with the Great Australian Basin. Australia has three major varieties of natural sediment-hosted precious opal - black opals from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, white opals from South Australia, and Queensland boulder and matrix opal.\n\nBoulder Opal forms in a slightly different method to other types of opal, forming inside an ironstone concretion. The concretion was formed due to ionisation, from sedimentary deposition. By definition, they are ionised concretions of varying hardness with an approximate opal composition of SiO2at 28%, Fe2O3 + AL203 at 68% and H2O at 1% composition.
