I am contemplating trying to find beachfront property in the Mid-Atlantic or New England. Is it remotely affordable? Does not have to be beach, just ocean. No jokes please :)

I need help on this:
The Laplace equation for electrostatics is 2V=0. This is easily solved for simple cases such as the parallel plate capacitor. For more involved situations, numerical methods are usually required. To give you some insight into numerical solutions, lets use a spreadsheet (such as Excel) to solve the Laplace equation in cartesian coordinates.

For the voltage, Vi at the point xi, a simple approximation for the derivative is

and the second derivative is obtained from the first as

(i) Take the case of a parallel plate capacitor with 5V across it. Set up a spreadsheet to solve for the voltage from the grounded plate to the 5V plate. Plot V versus x to ensure the solution is correct.

(ii) Extending this to 2 dimensions (x,y) and setting Δx=Δy=h then

Using the spreadsheet, compute the voltage inside a long conducting box (in the z direction) with square cross section (in the x-y plane) that has one side at 5V and the rest at zero volts.

Who would you stand by India or Pakistan in terms of honesty and integrity.
Do you think one,or both would support the West if a major conflict was to erupt that did not involve either,but one we needed help with.

I'm a law student intern for a juvenile court. Our county has tons of oustanding court costs/fines/fees from juveniles. I've been researching Lexis/Westlaw for a couple of weeks with no luck.
1)can parents be held responsible for their minor child's financial orders/judgments?
2) Or, must the parents be ordered to pay fines/costs?
3) If so, must that order be made specifically at the time of the hearing or can it be made later as a method of recovery?

I'm looking specifically for Ohio law but will take anything at this point. I have found alot of info regarding parental responsibility in regard to restitution, detention costs but nothing specially (caselaw, statute) as to whether this extends for court fees. Would adding a disclaimer/signature area to a payment plan for juveniles that parents would sign assuming responsibility hold up under the law since contracts typically aren't enforceable against minors? Any help is appreciated.

I've watched the pilot episode and quite frankly, it's a little slow and boring. Is it worth me watching further episodes? Does it pick up or is it just gonna be gloomy women moaning for the rest of the time?

I was just about to play DWM 2 with my link cable, and when I got to the main screen it said "saved data has been lost". I couldn't believe it!! I had the best monsters and everything! I used that same link cable millions of times and nothing was wrong before. Does anyone know how this happened so that if in the future I decide to play the new game, I can stop this from happening?

Don't know if it would matter where you are. I live in MD.

I had a bus driver tell me the arrow was meant to tell the rider which corner to stand on. Like even if the bus stop sign is in the middle of the block, if there's an arrow pointing, you're supposed to go stand at the curb.

Given the arrow's proximity to the line about no stopping/parking, I always thought it was to tell cars that they can't park from the sign forward (in the direction of the arrow). And that there's no arrow on the sign whenever the stop is on a block where there is never any parking allowed.

What do you think?

(I'm trying to find out "public opinion" because I think this guy made up the arrow story because he passed by the stop and didn't stop until I yelled.)

I have a maltese/poodle who I love, but I feel bad because both me and my fiance work most of the day so she is alone for a good 8 hours a day. She is really good when we are gone (rarely any accidents), but I want to get another dog to keep her company. And also I just want another dog in general. I don't want another puppy, but if I get another dog I doubt it will be as good as she is about staying home that long. Is there any type of dog that is good for long periods of time as long as there is another dog with them? I know this is a weird question, because most people would say it is bad to leave a dog that long alone, but my fiance stops home sometimes to take her out. Just want some opinions..thanks!!

My daughter is three years old and we have had a hard time with potty training. For the longest time she could have cared less if she wore a nasty diaper for hours. If it started to irritate her she would simply take the diaper off and pee on the floor. Recently she started going in the potty. We were so extatic! The only problem is that she wont tell me when she has to go. She'll go in the potty but I have to have her sit there for the longest time. If I don't take her and put her on her potty she will simply go on herself. I've tried offering treats, stickers, new toys and everything in between. She went and picked out her own big girl panties, and she preffers to wear them instead of diapers. I just can't get her to let me know when she has to go. She is extreamly vocal and completely understands. What do I do? Please help!!!
