Open Question: Double part dream? interpretation please?

Ok, im 13 years 6 months, and i have very strong views on the environment and god and subjects like that im vegetarian and have been for 8-9 years i don't believe in god im very environmental and believe that the environment should be saved at almost any cost. so, the dream, Part 1 I left my house, and walked down my road to an adjoining road (that exists in reality too). all the houses and everything are identical to reality. so i walk down the adjoining road then turn off to my right down a road (non existent in real life) and pass by the houses on either side. just behind the houses is a huge expanse of perfectly green grass. This stretches on for miles in all directions. I fly forward across the expanse of grass and arrive to a sheer drop of about 200 metres straight down. directly below me is grass but about 100 metres infront of the bottom of the drop is the start of an immense forest (sequoia's?). the trees are huge, well beyond the size of normal trees. their tops reach to about the height of my feet (im still at the top of the drop). There is a tree house at the very top of one of the trees about 50 metres into the forest. I shout my name and hear the echo twice. that was part one. I dreamt that i think about 6 days ago. Part two. I dreamt this the night before last. It repeats the first dream but after i shout my name i look down the drop and i see yellow bulldozers and men with chainsaws cutting the trees down. then i appear find myself beside the bulldozers and im yelling and yelling at the workers to stop but they take no notice. one of them calls "bring in the chainsaw" and one comes with a massive chainsaw, 5 times the size of normal chainsaws. then i run into the wood. i find myself infront of the door to the treehouse knocking on the door. A large woman appears holding a shotgun. she shoulders past me, cocking the shotgun, and starts muttering something about the b*st*rd workmen. Left in the doorway is one of the guys in my class. hes small and doesnt really have very certain views on the environement. we get on pretty well but hes a bit of a loner, not really got any friends other than me. so he looks down at his shoes shamefully and apologises for his "mum", the woman with the shotgun. its not like his mother in reality. I come in and stand in the "hallway" of the treehouse which is identical to the hallway of my own house except instead of plaster walls there's wood. then the dream ends. Plz help! i dont know what any of this means. im passionate about the environement but i wouldnt ever hurt anyone over it. im a very sort of gentle person. more

Open Question: Two schoolmates, Romeo and Juliet, catch each other's eye across a crowded dance floor at a school dance?

Two schoolmates, Romeo and Juliet, catch each other's eye across a crowded dance floor at a school dance. Find the order of magnitude of the gravitational attraction that Juliet exerts on Romeo and that Romeo exerts on Juliet. Assume they are separated by about 10 meters and their masses are estimated to be 70 kg and 40 kg. I just wanna know what I did was correct: F = ((6.67 × 10^−11) × 70 × 40) / 10² = 1.8761 × 10^-9 newton = 0.000000001 N Is that correct? Thanks more

Open Question: How much would it cost to build a nice but simple two storey home in Puerto Vallarta?

We own a chunk of land 12m x 16m so the cost of land does not need to be factored in. We are looking to build something similar to all the new row house developments in the area except we would not be joined to another unit! Based on the designs I drew up the building would be 9m x 12m and be two floors. If someone could give me a price range of per meter or what you think the full project minus the land that would be great! Also we would be active in the work. We could help dig, lay brick etc. My husband is a mexican citizen and should be able to get local prices vs the more expensice tourist prices. more

Open Question: Please help with physics problem! Current in a wire?

A) A wire made from iron with a cross-section of diameter 0.800 mm carries a current of 14.0 A. Calculate the "areal current density"; in other words, how many electrons per square meter per second flow through this wire? B) The density of iron is 7.86 g/cm3, and its atomic mass is 56.2. Assuming each iron atom contributes two mobile electrons to the metal, what is the number density of free charges in the wire, in electrons/m3? C) Use your results to calculate the drift speed (i.e., the average net speed) of the electrons in the wire. D) Due to thermal motion, the electrons at room temperature are randomly traveling to and fro at 1.15×105 m/s, even without any current. What fraction is the current's drift speed, compared to the random thermal motion? more

Open Question: Question about Landlord/Tenant laws NEED HELP?

I stay in Cleveland, OH and I started renting at my current residency in August of 2009 (beginning of August). The home is a duplex home with a upstairs and downstairs unit. There is a full attic which has been converted into a unit and a full basement which has been converted into a unit. When I moved in the attic was being rented to the landlord's relative who scarcely occupied the unit. He moved out in September sometime. The downstairs unit was not occupied because that tenant had been moved to a nursing home so the family was moving out the tenants belongings during the month of my arrival. The basement had been occupied by a grounds keeper the entire time of rental (from August-present). That grounds keeper has been a permanent resident before my actual arrival. From approximately September to December 2009 the only tenants occupying the residence was myself and the grounds keeper in the basement unit. In late December 2009 a tenant moved into the downstairs unit and my electricity started flickering. I was assured by the landlord that they were doing some type of maintenance and that there no cause for concern. In late January the downstairs unit as well as half of my upstairs unit was in complete darkness (without electricity). The tenant in the downstairs unit called Cleveland Public Power (the electric company) and they sent someone out to service the outage. When CPP arrived the serviceman told both I and the downstairs unit tenant that the issue was not sourced to CPP and this was an outage due to wiring that the landlord had done. The serviceman tried to inform the landlord and his electrician of their error but we were not able to contact the landlord and his electrician in a timely manner for them to be told by the serviceman. The serviceman also pointed out that there were only two meters to the residence NOT four (which there should be since there is technically four units). That same day I was able to finally contact the landlord and tell him verbally what the serviceman had informed me and the downstairs unit tenant of and he adamantly and vehemently denied everything the serviceman said and even told me the serviceman had no understanding of the situation. He had a less than reputable electrician come over and do some form of rewiring that allowed for both the downstairs unit and my electricity to be back in working condition. The problem was I found out from the downstairs tenant and my landlord that he had wired the attic unit & basement unit to the downstairs and that downstairs tenant was footing the electricity for all of those three units. That tenant had been getting a reduction on her rent for this. The landlord also told me that's how he had wired the house since he has been renting it. Which made me question: How was the attic unit, basement unit and downstairs unit receiving electricity from September- early December 2009 (before the new downstairs unit tenant moved in) if no one stayed in the downstairs unit to pay for the electricity and there had been no bill sent out to that unit? I asked the landlord to furnish me a bill of some sort showing me that he had the downstairs unit electricity turned on in his name. He was unable to furnish those documents rightfully because they did not exist. So who was the source for those units having electricity for the months of September-early December? I readily assumed it was me. Then it's gets better on my quest to find the "missing" electrical bills I asked the landlord to see the gas bill for those units. I was told by the landlord that the attic unit and basement unit ran on the same gas line (which I didn't know was legal..hmm?). So I asked to see the bill. On the bill that was reissued to him by Dominion East Ohio Gas it stated that the gas had been shut off to the attic unit from May 2009- December 2009 (about the time the downstairs unit tenant moved in). The problem with this issue is that the basement unit tenant told me that he had been taking warm baths and that his gas furnace had worked during those cold months which our obvious indication he had gas to his unit. So how was he receiving gas if the attic unit's gas had been shut off by the landlord until December when i was told by the landlord that the attic unit supplied gas to both that unit and the basement? So I confronted the landlord on the issue and for three weeks we went back and forth until finally rent was due. I came over to the landlord's residence with my rent payment in cash and showed him the cash. I also showed him my electrical AND gas bills from the months of September-December and told him that I needed a percentage of that money refunded to me because he had been illegally stealing gas and electrical from me for those other units. I told him that since he could not furnish any paperwork ie bills that stated otherwise that the only fair way to resolve the matter would be for him to pay me back a third of those bills. That amount came upThat amount came up to roughly $463. I told him he could take my rent payment of $425 which I had in my hand and then give me $463 or he could deduct my rent from the amount he owed me and hand me the balance of roughly $38. He gave the $38 and my rent receipt saying it was paid for that month and I went on my way. I thought the situation was over but over the next week he kept harassing me trying to show me that he was right about how everything was wired and I was wrong. He kept calling me and asking to come over to his home to talk to his daughter. He even made me have to leave my guests at my home in order to make copies of my bills so he could have them. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when he had an unknown woman call my home at 8:30 am and harass me over the phone about the situation saying that she would bury me in paperwork because and I quote" How are you going to deduct your rent from these old people, you are taking advantage of them and they have been reenting for over 40 years" I went over to the landlord's home immediately after that conversation with the unknown woman and his wife was the only one home. The unknown woman was on the phone with her and I could hear her instructing the wife to tell me to leave the premises so I left. I want to know what are my rights? Can I put my rent in escrow until he fixes the utility problem and if so how do I go about doing it? Thank you so much in advance!! more

Open Question: house converted into flats and legal rights?

i want to know that if a house has been coverted into flats. should the two flats be sharing electric or have its own electric per flat? and if there is a pre-paid meter should the meter be running for both flats or should there be a meter each? also who and how much will it cost to get a seperate meter? the landlord says its one meter for both flats and has to be minimum of £20 on the meter. there is seperate council tax and water rates for the flats but the electric runs between two flats and not one. the landlord says it is too much to have another one put in.the landlord told us that when the meter gets to £20, that we're all to put £10 each (per adult) towards the electric. so when the meter gets to £20 it was £20 from downstairs and £30 from us (amount of adults in the flats). They recently moved out and there was £8 on the meter. We had to get a member of his family who live a few doors down to let us in to top up the meter. I understand if there was £20 on the meter when moving in then to be expected to leave £20 when we move out, but the fact there was only £8 on meter when they moved out downstairs and we've seen no reciepts, must mean that they've not topped up at all as they have been getting given at least £20 a week towards the electric. Now no one lives there at the moment we cant top up without knocking on the landlords family door. I asked about our own meter before we moved in and he said the electric runs through both flats (so the one meter runs elec for both flats), and that its too expensive to fit one inthey also had a child and we were expected to top up more. they should have been expected the £10 for the child as well because when you have kids its either tellies on all day, things charging up etc.. Aside from the fact that we seen no reciepts off them and they moved out leaving us with only £8 on the meter, no one in my household is hardly even ever in. one of us dont get back til about 5 in the afternoon, and two of us are always out most the day and dont come back til about 10 or 11 at night so we're using next to no electric more

Open Question: Can anyone help me paraphrase this?

The pending scramble for water In 2008, Saudi Arabia ceased to be self sufficient in wheat production. It is looking to access land overseas to grow crops, possibly in Pakistan or the Horn of Africa. China is acquiring agricultural land in Southern Africa for similar purposes. And Daewoo Logistic is looking to lease land in Madagascar, to grow food for South Korea. Other countries in South Asia and the Gulf are considering similar moves. Scale of problem None of these countries needs the land for the sake of territorial expansion. What they need the land for is more fundamental: food. In all these cases, it is a shortage of water that has prompted this move. The experience of Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea today could be a foretaste of what will follow elsewhere. It stems from the failure of national governments and the international trade system to address the looming water crisis. Without changes, we face a scramble for water over the next two decades. When water availability drops below 1500 cubic meters per person per year, a country needs to start importing food, particularly water intense crops. Saudi Arabia faces this problem. Twenty other countries fell below this threshold in 2000, and another 14 will join them by 2030. Industrialisation It is not just about absolute water scarcity, however. For many of the fast growing economies in Asia and the Middle East, there are trade offs. As economies expand, governments have to chose whether to allocate water to agriculture, or to expanding cities and industries instead. This is a challenge that China and South Korea face. When a country devotes 40% of its renewable water resources or more to irrigation, it starts to face these water allocation issues. By 2030, under business as usual, all of South Asia will reach the 40% threshold; the Middle East and North Africa region will have hit 58%. Agriculture almost always loses out to the industrialising economy, especially to the energy and manufacturing sectors, in such water allocation decisions. Current trends suggest that by 2030, demand for extra water will soar. Rapidly industrialising economies across South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, which support approximately 2.5 billion people, will be forced to look elsewhere for water-rich land for their food. Deep problems Why is finding the water for agriculture becoming such a profound issue? First, we have been incredibly wasteful with our agricultural water over the years, and now face shortages of groundwater in many parts of the farming world. Second, as we grow richer, we tend to eat more meat, which requires more water. Third, trying to reform water use in agriculture is often deemed political suicide, so inertia prevails. Fourth, we have an outdated global trade system for agriculture. While over 70% of the world's freshwater withdrawals are used for agriculture, historically this water has been heavily subsidised and therefore free or hugely under-priced. It has been used wastefully as a result. More than a quarter of India's harvest, for example, could be at risk by 2025 as groundwater is depleted beyond recovery; already 10% depends on water mined from unsustainable groundwater sources. Water scarcity may soon cause a loss of global crop production of 350 million tonnes, almost equal to all the grain the US grows. Different diets Food demand is projected to grow by 70-90% by 2050. But more than 25% of the increase in grain demand will be due to changes in diets, rather than to population growth. A typical meat-eater's diet requires about 5,400 litres of water a day to produce, double what a vegetarian requires for the same nutritional value. Global production of meat is projected to more than double from 229 million tonnes in 1999/01 to 465 million tonnes in 2050, notably across Asia. Ironically, while more "crop-per-drop" is required to meet future grain demand, the fastest-growing nations are also diverting more and more water away from agriculture to support growing cities and industry, compounding the problem. Volatile prices Making agriculture more water-efficient commonly involves government intervention to re-assess historical allocations to farmers, raise water prices, and implement technological change. Most politicians choose to avoid addressing such issues. And there is no correlation between the places that are best suited to grow different foods and those that actually do in practice. Three of the world's top ten food exporters are water scarce, and three of the top ten food importers are water rich. There is less overall global trade in agriculture, when we need more. Food prices have become much more volatile, as recent price rises showed. Bilateral alliances Without bold water reforms in national agricultural policies or reform to the global trade system, bilateral land-for-water deals will inevitably increase. Such deals may seem rational now, but the scale of the problem i more

Open Question: Advice on a hot water impeller pump?

I have been using a Stuart Turner 3.0 Bar Monsoon Twin pump (with only the hot feed active and feeding the whole house, as I have yet to build the shower cubicle, at which time I will connect the cold) with no problems for two years but it recently stopped working and I was told it was a fire hazard to use it this way. So I think I need a single sided pump just to boost the hot supply to the whole house (small semi-detached). The pump will be on the same level as the storage tank which feeds it and the shower will be the highest appliance to be fed at about one and a half meters above the pump. Could anyone please advise me on a good low-noise, cost effective pump that would do the job. Thank you more

Resolved Question: Could you please rate my short story?

Melissa Johnston had turned eighteen a few months before the small, isolated village of Ontario in which she lived was hit by what would later be known as one of the biggest Canadian storms ever. It was a cold Sunday afternoon and her aunt, Cheryl, who had been her legal guardian for about three years, suggested they should go for a walk in the forest. Mel liked walking with Cheryl because they would both sing songs and study the various types of clouds they would see, finding them quickly in the large science book Mel always carried with her. She had always considered herself to be close to the Earth and her bohemian-inspired style displayed it. The two women had been walking for about two hours when Cheryl pointed out that they might be lost. ‘‘We’ve been having so much fun, Niece, that we are now lost!’’ Cheryl said, still smiling. ‘‘This is no laughing matter, Aunt Cheryl,’’ Mel replied. ‘‘We’ll find our way back home,’’ Her aunt added. ‘‘Look at that beautiful cloud, Mel.’’ She pointed to the sky. ‘‘Let us find out what kind it is!’’ She reached to grab Mel’s book but the young girl held it firmly against her small breasts. ‘‘It’s nearly nighttime! We don’t have time for clouds now!’’ Her aunt, not saying a word, seized the cover of the book and began pulling it towards herself. ‘‘Let go!’’ Mel cried. They both pulled so hard that the book flew out of their hands and landed a few metres from where they were standing. Cheryl ran towards it, Mel following her, rather upset at what her aunt had done. When they finally found the book, next to a snow-covered bush, they noticed a small wooden cabin nearby. ‘‘You see, Mel?’’ Cheryl said. ‘‘I told you we would find a way home.’’ ‘‘That’s not our home, Cheryl!’’ the young girl replied. Her aunt winked and opened the door. They walked into a rather cozy looking log cabin. It had only one room, one which was quite large, and had a bed in it, as well as two small dressers and a table. ‘‘We’ll have to stay here tonight,’’ Cheryl said. It was nearly midnight when Mel realised she no longer felt anxious and scared; she was actually quite happy now, sitting on the bed with her aunt, talking about many things. She learnt more about Cheryl in one evening than she had in three years. The isolated cabin seemed to bring the two women closer each hour. They were both in their underwear because their soaked clothes were hanging above the unlit fireplace. Cheryl, a notorious chain-smoker, had forgotten her lighter, as she always did. During the night, the two women began to feel rather cold. Cheryl tried to open the door to see if it was still snowing but they were locked in. They couldn’t see what was going on outside through the windows because they, too, were blocked by the thick snow. Cheryl and her niece cuddled against each other, pulling the old blanket the cabin’s previous owners had left behind up to their necks. Cheryl had put on a bit of perfume before leaving the house – a fruity one – and the attractive smell caused Mel to start nibbling on her neck, like a rodent, because she was so hungry. Cheryl chuckled. She began kissing Mel’s pink lips, feeling her hair through her fingers. They had never been so close. They were rolling all over the bed, kissing passionately, touching each other, squeezing each other’s breasts in their cold hands, and using their fingers to pleasure one another. Suddenly, the windows were covered with a thick steam and the cabin became unbelievably hot, as though it was on fire. They then heard birds chirping. Cheryl got up, confused, and the door opened quite easily. All the snow had melted. The various plants and flowers, thinking it was Spring, had began to grow. Trees were beating buds. They had awakened the entire forest. ‘‘Well,’’ Mel said, ‘‘That certainly gives a whole new meaning to ‘steamy love-making.’ ’’ They were like in a greenhouse. They put their clothes back on and finally found their way back home. Before they walked into their house, Cheryl turned to Mel and, with a small tear at the corner of her eyes, whispered, ‘‘I’ll divorce your uncle.’’ ‘‘You can’t,’’ Mel said, holding her aunt’s hands. She wanted desperately to be with Cheryl but loved her uncle so much and couldn’t break his heart. Besides, she knew that society would always look down on them. Not only because they were lesbians, but because they were blood relatives. ‘‘Is that… Is that really… What you want, M-M-Mel?’’ ‘‘Yes, auntie,’’ She replied. ‘‘What we had last night was wonderful, but…’’ She began crying softly. ‘‘I’ll never forget it, Mel,’’ Cheryl added. ‘‘I’ll never forget it, either.’’ more

Open Question: How far can I extend under permitted development rights on a two storey rear extension?

The government portal suggests it projects no more than three metres from wall to wall, whereas my local planning officer believes the roof falls within the definition of the of the existing dwelling. So the roof can not project to point in excess of 3 metres from the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse. This means the overhang of the eaves and guttering are considered part of the 3m projection. Crazy! more

Resolved Question: Is taking BP readings at 2 minute intervals inaccurate?

Hi! I've been advised by my doctor to monitor my blood pressure. I am using an electronic BP meter. What I do is, I take three readings at 2 minute intervals. The first reading always shows a high value (~145/85), but the next readings seem to have a downward tendency (135/85 - 125/85). So the first one falls in the "see your doctor NOW" category, but the other two are not so bad. I also noticed that my heart rate drops by 10-20 bps between the first and the last reading. So my question is: am I doing this wrong? Could the last two readings be innacurate (i don't know, from putting pressure on my arm in the first reading)? Which values should I record for my doctor? thanks more

Open Question: Is this a good way to compose solo pieces for Trumpet?

Here is how I am composing for trumpet. I'm new at this, so I am taking a crack at this in my own way. How do you do it differently? Keep in mind that I am new at composing, but I've been playing improvisational trumpet for a long time. 1. I pick a key - say F Major. I have 2 tape recorders and a Piano (my keyboard). I jam a little in F on the Piano, trying to get some phrases down; just experimenting and seeing what I can some up with. 2. After I get comfortable that I have some good phrases and ideas, I start to sing them into the first tape recorder the way I want them to sound. 3. Then I play the first tape and try to play on the piano what I sung as best as I can in the key of F. Then, I record the notes on Piano on the second tape. (So, you see how I am using two tapes: one for voice and then one for piano translation of voice.) 4. Then, I listen to the second tape with the recorded piano and try to indicate the time intervals of the runs (or phrases) that I like best. 5. Then, I listen to the intervals that I liked best in #4 above, and I write down just the notes on binder paper (not music paper yet), and not worrying about getting anything else down but the notes. (I'm trying to stick to doing one thing at a time if I can.) 6. Then, I translate everything into musical notation (from the binder paper in step 5 above) and I include the correct meter; and then I worry about all the details like how many beats each note gets, speed, loudness, slurs, accents, etc. 7. Then, I play the result of 6 on Trumpet and see how I dig it - and make some tweaks for sound. 8. Then, I start revising for structure, melody, arrangement, etc., cutting and pasting and writing in new sections using plenty of scissors, tape and patience. 9. Finally, play what resulted in step 8 on trumpet and make any final tweaks to the piece. Is this a good way to compose solo pieces for Trumpet? Can you give me any tips on the best way you learned to do it? more

Resolved Question: How to make my own punching bag stand... with wood?

This may seem a slightly unusual question but nothing is impossible, well I hope not with what I have. I've had a punching bag in my garage which is now being used to hold stock, so there is hardly room for me to move around and have ended up smashing things across the room accidentally. I recently cut down a tree in the park, so in total I have around 3-4 wooden logs, I have hundreds of flexible sticks of various sizes that can be tied together for flexibility, which I've cut off my two apple trees for the past three years, and I have around 15 large pine sticks (they are 1-2.5 metres long and thick). I want to make my own stand to put in my garden or just behind my fence in the park (this is a woody park with my own covering). I was thinking of digging two large logs into the ground at an angle and then putting something across it to hold the bag... This does seem a lot of hassle but I don't want to spend £100 on a frame, there are no trees to hang it on, and I do like a challenge and getting my hands dirty.

How could i go about solving a question where two objects with mass 40 and 50 push of each other and the distance the 50 mass went was 15 meters and i need to find the distance the other one went. The only additional information i get is that they both experience the same frictional force. I know the accerelartion would be proportional to Friction/mass. but how to go about it? more

Open Question: I need tips on building a shallow water raft?

Alright, this might get really long, so you better be up for it. So me and my friend are love exploring, and maybe 2 weeks ago we found a stream. This stream goes on for several miles (I've checked on Google Earth), several meaning many, and it's a pretty fun place. I got this idea, that we build some kind of boat and float downstream for a while, and my friend agrees that this would be a fun idea. Problem is, water's usually half a foot deep, sometimes less. At other times though, it's as deep as 4 feet. There's tons of rocks here, so we need something to maneuver around them. Some places have rocks a foot or two wide, but we've seen a few rocks that are at least 5 meters across. I was thinking of those things you use for tubing, kind of like life savers, but those probably cost a lot, and i'm afraid they pop easily. A Kayak is above our price range, and besides, i'm pretty sure it's too shallow for a kayak. We don't mind building it either, as long as the materials won't cost much and it's not too hard to build. We have a seemingly endless supply of tires and planks, since it's good ol' polluted america. So, Any Ideas? PLEASE READ THIS PART TOO I DO NOT WANT REPLIES UNRELATED TO THE TOPIC I DO NOT NEED YOU TO PARENT ME ABOUT DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES I AM NOT CHANGING MY MIND Also, i'm not shouting i'm trying to make sure this gets read. Thanks for reading it out, and i hope you have a solution! If you need more info about anything, email me at sigtinius1996@yahoo.com more

Open Question: Environmentalist Dream In 2 Parts?

Ok, im 13 years 6 months, and i have very strong views on the environment and god and subjects like that im vegetarian and have been for 8-9 years i don't believe in god im very environment and believe that the environment should be saved at almost any cost. so, the dream, Part 1 I left my house, and walked down my road to an adjoining road (that exists in reality too). all the houses and everything are identical to reality. so i walk down the adjoining road then turn off to my right down a road (non existent in real life) and pass by the houses on either side. just behind the houses is a huge expanse of perfectly green grass. This stretches on for miles in all directions. I fly forward across the expanse of grass and arrive to a sheer drop of about 200 metres straight down. directly below me is grass but about 100 metres infront of the bottom of the drop is the start of an immense forest (sequoia's?). the trees are huge, well beyond the size of normal trees. their tops reach to about the height of my feet (im still at the top of the drop). There is a tree house at the very top of one of the trees about 50 metres into the forest. I shout my name and hear the echo twice. that was part one. I dreamt that i think about 6 days ago. Part two. I dreamt this the night before last. It repeats the first dream but after i shout my name i look down the drop and i see yellow bulldozers and men with chainsaws cutting the trees down. then i appear find myself beside the bulldozers and im yelling and yelling at the workers to stop but they take no notice. one of them calls "bring in the chainsaw" and one comes with a massive chainsaw, 5 times the size of normal chainsaws. then i run into the wood. i find myself infront of the door to the treehouse knocking on the door. A large woman appears holding a shotgun. she shoulders past me, cocking the shotgun, and starts muttering something about the b*st*rd workmen. Left in the doorway is one of the guys in my class. hes small and doesnt really have very certain views on the environement. we get on pretty well but hes a bit of a loner, not really got any friends other than me. so he looks down at his shoes shamefully and apologises for his "mum", the woman with the shotgun. its not like his mother in reality. I come in and stand in the "hallway" of the treehouse which is identical to the hallway of my own house except instead of plaster walls there's wood. then the dream ends. Plz help! i dont know what any of this means. im passionate about the environement but i wouldnt ever hurt anyone over it. im a very sort of gentle person.Answer to first question- I just dont see how there can be some huge intellectual being of some kind up there watching us. and i dont see what god does What created flowers/birds/humans is easy. evolution. we have so much proof that evolution happened. and if god's so powerful then how come he doesnt get rid of the devil? and why does the devil rule our world?oh no, another person saying the world is gonna end.

Open Question: I want to write c++ program?

please help me to write this program ,because i have some difficulties >> here i posted the details of this work using if , else if , else : Consider a gas company that calculates the gas bill amount based on consumption according to the following table: Gas Consumption Applied Rate First 70 cubic meters 3.5 OR minimum cost Next 100 cubic meters 3 Baiza per cubic meter Next 230 cubic meters 1.5 Baiza per cubic meter Above 400 cubic meters 0.75 Baiza per cubic meter The gas meter supplied by the gas company has a four digit display representing cubic meters of gas consumed. Write a program that reads customer name (a single word), the previous month and the current meter readings and then calculates the amount of the bill. Assume that the maximum gas consumption between any two subsequent readings does not exceed 9999. Your program should provide the following data validation tasks: A meter reading is always within the range 0000 to 9999. Out of range (including a negative data) meter reading must be prompted with corrective action. (The program may prompt with reenter message.) The program should check that the gas consumed (i.e. current reading previous reading) is always positive. Note that a current reading may be less than its previous one because of 4-digit wrap around function of the display (e.g. the previous reading may have been 9999 and the current one 0099).

Open Question: estimate on atv parts?

hi, my friend and i were in my woods/backyard and my friend spotted a quad that had looked like it had been outside for weeks. him and his friend began pushing it down a hill and then i did too. then he wanted to hot-wire it. He used my tools and carved the seat open and the side of the plastic things that cover the top of the wheels to say mine now with a utility knife. I took off the part that goes around thing that tells you your mileage on the quad. he cut the ignition part where you put the key in and turn it, leaving it useless. All i did was push the ATV and take that part. so after two weeks of it being there the person that owns it finds it and tells my friend who tells him my name and number because i had told him about it before. His dad calls me (the kid is a senior in high school) saying the vehicle was stolen and vandalized. So i said my friend did most of the damage. All i did was push it and take off the receiver that is around the meter which was broken anyway. Now he wants me to pay for the damages and split the amount of pay with my friend which is totally unfair considering i didn't do anything. I need an estimate, for a Yamaha grizzly 600 that looks like its pretty old, but like i said i need an estimate on how much the parts would be. my mom said if she(meaning me) has to pay(with my money) more than 500 dollars that i am in big trouble. PLEASE HELP ME!! i NEED an estimate because i still have to push that damn quad uphill with my friend to back where we found it so this kids dad can bring it to a place to get it fixed and get an estimate on how much that all will cost. thank you very much more

Resolved Question: How can I break 2:00 minutes tactically in the 800 meters?

I am about to run my third race of the 800 meters this season and I am pretty close to breaking 2 in the 800. My training program is working great and I am seeing the results. Here is some background information of my times in some other areas that might help you recognize what type of runner I am. 100m-Low to mid 11 200m-Low 23 high 22 400m-Low 50even and high 49 Those times are not fudged but are not exact. Okay, now that I have that out of the way here is my situation. First Race - Total time was a 2:03 in the honestly worst condition, roughly 49 degrees and very windy on the back stretch, first lap was in 58 seconds and of course the second was in 65. 2nd Race - T.T. was 2:03 again. Windy and cold again. First 200m 26 seconds, 400m 57, 600m in 1:26. Here's where my question comes from, when I ran the last 100m my legs really started tiring and I tried to push past that point where you can't go any faster and ended up falling, because my legs gave out with exhaustion, in the last five meters and I had to dive across the finish, I did end up winning with ease like the week prior. I think I might have broken or at the very least ran a 2:00 flat. I would like some feed back on what splits I should hit to run under two, I am a front runner and I have very good speed. I am capable, I think of breaking 2:00 minutes next race, what do you think and how should I go about doing it? Thank You for taking your time to answer. more

Voting Question: How much sound pressure level did I get in decibels some months ago? Do I risk hearing loss?

Greetings dear viewers and answerers, I've bought a pair of in-ear-monitor earphones some months ago. I've bought them for my iPod Touch and as I had no other headphone for the computer, I decided to plug them in the front jack labelled "PHONES". I've noticed that I had to put it to the lowest volume possible. I set it to 1 / 100 on Windows 7. It was nearly to be loud enough already. I know that I can make it even lower with the mixer on Windows 7. I also installed the HD VDeck that came with my updated audio drivers. There, I can set what is my default device. The problem is that I thought that the volume would have stayed the same once I set it to the headphones devices. The volume was way too loud. I tried to remove my earphones as fast as possible but my left ear got a maximum of five seconds with a level of volume set on 75 / 100. I almost jumped off my chair. I have not felt any pain like it would be the case when the 130 decibels threshold is met. However, I was kinda stressed. I have no idea how many decibels I have got and I don't know if I have lost hearing, especially on my left ear. For my right ear, it didn't last more than 2 seconds for sure. In fact, it was easy to remove the right side of the earphones since it tended to fall off my right ear. My computer's audio controller is a VIA High Definition Audio (VT1708S). My power supply has 550W. I have no idea of the number of watts that is used for the jack. I have done lots of researches about it. The earphones didn't explode or blow up. Here are the specs of my earphones. This is a Nuforce NE-7M Cable Length: 1.2 meters Driver Size: 9mm Frequency Response: 20 Hz-22 KHz Sensitivity: 100+/-3dB/mW at 1 KHz Rated Power: 2mW Max power: 20mW Plug: 3.5mm Weight: 12g From what I get is that I get 100 decibels with a variation that can double the sound intensity for a milliwatt of power for the output. The rated power is when it is used under normal conditions. The maximum power is 20 milliwatts. If my computer amplifier (I don't know if that's how we call it since it's a jack in the computer) outputs more than 20 milliwatts, would the earphones output as if it was 20 milliwatts? I could hear the sound even when it was not in my ears, so I guess that was pretty loud. So suppose it is run with 20 milliwatts of output, how much decibels would it go out? I know for a fact that the maximum sound pressure level in the air is 194 decibels. I don't if my case applies to this claim. If I had 105 decibels out for a single milliwatts, would it mean that I would have 210 decibels for two milliwatts of power? I don't think that's how it is calculated. I think there would be an unbelievable amount of decibels to my ears and guarantee an hearing loss right from only one exposure, no matter how long it is. I also think this area about earphones and the adjustments should be taken more seriously when it comes to earphones or headphones. But, I think it's not always easy to know the power of the amplifiers without some skills at maths and physics. Not everyone has that and I find that some of specs presented with the earphones or the headphones can leave the average user skeptical about this. I've done lots of researches about hearing loss and for most of the cases, when the hair cells are dead, the hearing doesn't come back where it used to be. If the hearing loss came back by itself and there would be no permanent damage to noise-induced cases, I would not be so worried about it, especially when you have possibly over 50 years to live your life. I find this important not only for me, but all the others. I am not someone who listens to very high levels. I am the opposite, I seek a reasonable level so I can keep as much as I can my hearing. I am not so pleased by my mistake neither. Thank you for your answers. It's appreciated. more

If A and B are 1164 km apart, how far is the satellite from tower B? (Ignore the curvature of the earth, and assume the satellite is located between the two towers.) Express your answer to the nearest kilometre. 3. A surveyor marked off a 162 m baseline MN on one side of a river. A tree on the other side of the river was noted as a landmark. From M the angle formed between the line of sight to the landmark and the baseline was measured to be 45°. From N, the angle formed between the line of sight to the landmark and the baseline was measured to be 66°. Assume the tree is located between M and N. Determine the distance from M to the tree to the nearest metre. 4. A piece of land is in the shape of a triangle. The sides measure 514.09 m, 556.44 m, and 893.00 m. Determine the value of the largest angle in the triangle. more

Resolved Question: ELECTRIC: Which do I need, Disconnect panel with main breaker OR Safety switch for service wire run.?

Since 100 amp service wire run is more then 25 feet from meter socket to panel box I need to install 100 amp safety switch to be up to code. Will it be better if I install main lug panel with 100 amp breaker instead of safety switch? My thinking is if anything would happened to service wire breaker would be better protection. (panel box has 100 amp main breaker) Is two 100amp main disconnect on one service line is against the code? P.S. I cannot have disconnect on the meter or outside. Thank you more
