How do I locate email addresses of women over fifty years old?
|
Spam is illegal, friend.\n\nE-mail spam is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to a few or thousands (or millions) of recipients by E-mail. Perpetrators of such spam ("spammers") often harvest addresses of prospective recipients from Usenet postings or from web pages, obtain them from databases, or simply guess them by using common names and domains. By popular definition, a spam message is an unwanted email that is sent without the permission of the recipient.\n\nSending spam violates the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) of almost all Internet Service Providers, and can lead to the termination of the sender's account. Many jurisdictions, such as the United States of America, which regulates via the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, regard spamming as a crime or as an actionable tort.\n\nArticle 13 of the European Union Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (2002/58/EC) provides that the EU member states shall take appropriate measures to ensure that unsolicited communications for the purposes of direct marketing are not allowed either without the consent of the subscribers concerned or in respect of subscribers who do not wish to receive these communications, the choice between these options to be determined by national legislation.\n\nIn Australia, the relevant legislation is the Spam Act 2003 which covers some types of e-mail and phone spam.\n\nAccessing privately owned computer resources without the owner's permission counts as illegal under computer crime statutes in most nations. Deliberate spreading of computer viruses is also illegal in the United States and elsewhere.\n\nThus, some of spammers most common behaviors are criminal quite independently of the legal status of spamming per se. Even before the advent of laws specifically banning or regulating spamming, spammers have been successfully prosecuted under computer fraud and abuse laws for wrongfully using others' computers.

The antibiotic Cefuroxim has an half life of only 80 minutes and is given twice daily. Why does it still work, even if half of it is eliminated in the body after such a short time?
|
Most antibiotics (the bactericidal ones anyways) display a really cool property known as the Post Anti-Biotic Effect (PAE). Basically, after the drug has been eliminated from your body, the bacteria don't multiply (I have no idea how that works, and I think the science community in general are still thinking about it as well). It's sort of like kicking a man, leaving him bleeding next to the road, taking a break and coming back later to beat him up even more before he can recover. Source: Studying medicine, pharms book. Also you're going to have to make your questions a little bit more specific, as you are asking for a large volume of work.

YOu need to document everything that happens, keep a jounal. I have an ex husband that is a drug addict and my kids aren't safe with him, our boys are 4 year old twins, which I have custody, but I am now fighting him in court to keep him from them unless supervised which is looking good. All the documention that I have is helping me greatly, plus I have a wonderful lawyer that believes in me. You need documentation and people to back you up other then family and friends. Be patient, gather your ammo against him, find a GOOD lawyer, make sure you get a different judge, make sure you are in a stable home, with a good job, show that you can raise your kids, also maybe take your kids to a phsycoligist and then have them write you a letter of what they think. That always has weight in a situation like this, it is helping me out. Good luck!!! I hope for the best for you and your kids!!

What are the hours of Mexico City Parking meters?
|
Street parking in urban neighborhoods is mostly controlled by the franeleros a.k.a. "viene vienes" (lit. "come on, come on"), who ask drivers for a fee to park, in theory to guard the car, but with the implicit threat that the franelero will damage the car if the fee is not paid. Double parking is common (with franeleros moving the cars as required), impeding on the available lanes for traffic to pass. In order to mitigate that and other problems and to raise revenue, 721 parking meters (as of October 2013), have been installed in the west-central neighborhoods Lomas de Chapultepec, Condesa, Roma, Polanco and Anzures, in operation from 8 AM to 8 PM on weekdays and charging a rate of 2 pesos per 15 minutes, with offenders' cars booted, costing about 500 pesos to remove. 30 percent of the monthly 16 million-peso (as of October 2013) income from the parking-meter system (named "ecoParq") is earmarked for neighborhood improvements. The granting of the license for all zones exclusively to a new company without experience in operating parking meters, Operadora de Estacionamientos Bicentenario, has generated controversy.

does photosynthesis occur in prokaryotes
|
Animal cells do not undergo photosynthesis, but in a plant cell, the site of photosynthesis is the chloroplast. Prokaryotes are more primitive-they have no nucleus for a start, and also have no chloroplasts.They are bacterial cells and so do not undergo photosynthesis.ating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Actually, some procaryotes have photosynthesis. The thing is, as they don't have organelles, it doesn't occur in a differentiated structure, like choroplasts in eucaryotes. It happens along the plasma membrane.

Jean Dufosse fractured her hip after tripping on a stray plastic icicle .
Civil appeal court ruled Santa and his elf should have spotted it .
|
By . Daily Mail Reporter . Last updated at 11:01 AM on 19th December 2011 . Health and safety at Selfridges came under the spotlight after a grandmother who smashed her leg when she slipped on a plastic icicle in a Santa's Grotto won the right to up to £30,000 damages. Joan Dufosse, 73, was having a photo taken with her family at the company's flagship store in Oxford Street when she stepped on an icicle-shaped Christmas tree bauble and was sent crashing to the ground. Mrs Dufosse, of Richlans Road, Hedge End, Southampton, fractured her left thigh and had to be rushed to hospital. Fractured her thigh: Joan Dufosse lies slumped on the ground after slipping on a stray plastic icicle in the Selfridges Santa's Grotto. A judge said Santa and his elf should have spotted it . She needed major surgery to plate and screw the fracture and has yet to make a full recovery from the incident in November 2009. Mrs Dufosse, who was at Selfridges with . her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, claimed compensation . from Melbry Events Ltd, which ran the grotto, but had her claim rejected . by a judge at Southampton County Court in March. After a hearing in which 'Santa' David Warren and his 'elf' Sarah Chamberlain, were the star witnesses, Judge John Sparrow said the icicle was 'not in plain view' and cleared Melbry Events of blame for Mrs Dufosse's pre-Christmas catastrophe. But that decision has now been . reversed at London's Civil Appeal Court, where Lord Justice Rix, Sir . Mark Potter and Lord Justice McFarlane ruled that the 'offending icicle' should have been spotted by Santa or his little helper. Opening Mrs Dufosse's appeal, her . barrister, John Bate-Williams, said: 'This case may have entertaining . ingredients, but this accident had very serious consequences for Mrs . Dufosse.' 'We were warned off by Judge Sparrow . from any lightheartedness and so we were unable to use the phrase "elf . and safety"', added Mr Bate-Williams as he handed the icicle up to the . bench for the three judges' perusal. Attacking . Judge Sparrow's decision to dismiss Mrs Dufosse's claim, the barrister . said: 'There was no justification for the finding that the bauble was . partly hidden. Even if it was partly concealed, the defendants should . have noticed it. 'It . was not the family's responsibility to see this icicle. They had the . excitement of grandchildren going to see Father Christmas and a very . pretty elf beckoning them in. Grotto: Santa in his chair at the 2009 Selfridges Christmas event . 'It . is absolutely the responsibility of the elf and father Christmas at all . times to keep the grotto clean and tidy,' he told the court. Sir . Mark Potter, giving his assessment of the case, said: 'The family went . in, preceded by the elf. Santa was there on his throne. There were eight . people in a three-by-four metre room. Two elves outside the grotto in Oxford Street's Selfridges in 2009. Mrs Dufosse has not recovered fully since the fall . 'There are 10 or 11,000 customers going through (the grotto) in the course of a season. Its a factory environment essentially. 'It . doesn't strain credulity that Father Christmas, left alone after . possibly the 33rd visit of the day, didn't do a radar sweep to see . whether there is an unexpected icicle.' Lord . Justice Rix, allowing Mrs Dufosse's appeal, said Santa or the elf ought . to have seen the stray icicle, and dismissed claims that the . grandmother was partly to blame for not spotting it herself. He . praised the 'excellence of the system' of safety checks Melbry Events . had in place, but went on to conclude that human error by Santa and the . elf had led to the accident. 'Mrs Dufosse fell and injured her leg. Why had she fallen, and was it anything to do with breach of statutory duties or negligence?' the judge asked. 'On the findings, the icicle was there and it was tripped over. The question is whether it was there to be seen.' He added: 'This was a 72-year-old . woman going with her family and grandchildren on what was, for all of . them, an exciting visit to Santa's Grotto in which the anticipated . pleasure of the children would have been foremost in their minds,' he . went on. 'There were eight . people in quite a small space. The accident happened when Mrs Dufosse, . at the request of the elf, stepped sideways and backward into the . corner. Still magical: Children at this year's grotto at Selfridges which opened to record sales last month . 'It was not her duty in these circumstances to ensure there were no tripping hazards in the room which might cause something amiss. This was purely the duty of Santa and the elf.' The . other judges agreed with his ruling, and the company was ordered to pay . the legal costs of the case. The exact amount of damages Mrs Dufosse . will receive will now be either agreed or assessed at a further court . hearing, but it is believed it could be up to £30,000.

(Time.com) -- For all the heady talk about misleadingly "deific," recently confirmed quantum specks named after Scottish physicists, another kind of historic event just transpired: a record-shattering laser beam that, in a single shot fired on July 5, 2012, generated more power than the United States does at any single instant. Spooky or astonishing? How about both. Think of it as "extreme sports science," a kind of lab-based game of automatic one-upmanship where researchers fiddle with incredibly complex, painstakingly calibrated machinery to produce unprecedented results -- then outdo them. Time.com: 9 examples of improbable superhero technology . That's what the National Ignition Facility -- home to the world's largest laser -- just did when it pulled the trigger on 192 beams of optically amplified, electromagnetic radiation-emitting light, all fired within a few trillionths of a second of each other, to deliver 500 trillion watts (or terawatts) of "peak power" and 1.85 megajoules of ultraviolet laser light. Framed in more eye-catching terms: The NIF says 500 terawatts outpaces the entire U.S. for power used "at any instant in time," and that 1.85 megajoules amounts to roughly 100 times what any other laser produces regularly. No wonder those two power unit prefixes (tera, mega) come from Greek words meaning "monster" and "great." Then again, what else would you expect from a laser housed in a building the size of three football fields, or a science lab with a word like "ignition" in its moniker? The NIF, located in Livermore, California, came online in March 2009, and its goals are manifold: Its primary mission, given funding by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) -- "a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the application of nuclear science to the nation's national security enterprise" -- is to duplicate what happens in contemporary nuclear weapons, in part to render underground nuclear testing unnecessary. Time.com: Clamshell! The story of the greatest computing form factor of all time . But it's also a repository for scientists -- the same sort that poke around at sub-sub-atomic levels for elemental quantum particles -- looking to understand "extreme states of matter that exist in the centers of planets, stars and other celestial objects." And last but not least -- well beyond the holster-loaded conventions of mere pulp sci-fi skirmishing -- the NIF laser is about puzzling out something called "fusion ignition": the point at which nuclear fusion reactions become self-sustaining, to, in the NIF's words, "provide abundant and sustainable clean energy." Fusion reaction is arguably the most exciting of the NIF's goals: to catalyze self-sustaining nuclear fusion, wherein two light atomic nuclei "fuse" together and produce a single heavier nucleus while converting some of that mass to incredible amounts of energy. That, in so many words, is how stars are born, and it's something scientists have been working to achieve since the 1950s. The 500-terawatt shot on July 5 brings scientists closer to solving a longstanding physics challenge and arguably the field's holy grail: getting back more energy than you give. Time.com: Mission to Mars: 8 amazing tech tools aboard NASA's Curiosity Rover . "The 500 TW shot is an extraordinary accomplishment by the NIF Team, creating unprecedented conditions in the laboratory that hitherto only existed deep in stellar interiors," said MIT physicist Dr. Richard Petrasso in a statement on the NIF's site. "For scientists across the nation and the world who, like ourselves, are actively pursuing fundamental science under extreme conditions and the goal of laboratory fusion ignition, this is a remarkable and exciting achievement." The July 5 shot was actually the NIF's third in a series of test fires, a series that's seen power ramped up by nearly 100 terawatts since March 15, when the NIF fired a shot that delivered 1.8 megajoules and peak power of 411 terawatts. And while electricity produced by sustained, controlled fusion reactions may not be commercially viable, well, ever, depending whom you talk to -- some say 30 to 40 years; others say indefinitely given the technical challenges of putting star-stuff in a container -- the July 5 laser shot appears to be a major step forward. "NIF is becoming everything scientists planned when it was conceived over two decades ago," said NIF Director Edward Moses of the July 5 shot. In January 2012, Moses predicted that fusion ignition would happen "in the next 6-18 months." We're getting close, in other words, to what you might call "the end of the beginning" of the very long -- and expensive: an experimental international fusion reactor being built in France is said to cost 16 billion euros, or nearly US$20 billion -- road to theoretically limitless energy generation.
