How does the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows bridge relate to trigonometric functions?
If you had been the architect/engineer of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, what might you have done differently?

I'm female and for the past few years my hair has been falling out from the root. I used to have very thick and curly hair. Now you can see my scalp in front. I know that stress and family history play a role but surely there is something out there to help .

If someone has repeatedly talked about and threatened suicide over a short period of time (a few months) and it seems all the resources are exhausted -- to the point of being under constant supervision for a few days and talking to a psychologist -- how can an outsider prevent the act? He refuses further counseling and attempts to use the threat for bargaining (if you do x, I will or won't,etc) or as retribution (you have done x, therefore I will). He has also stated that he "doesn't wish to be happy" and refuses any help or assistance offered.
It has become an act of futility to try to reason with this individual yet every conversation is increasingly more dark and macabre. It has reached the point where I may receive 6 or 7 phone calls a day and as he has shut almost everyone else out, I feel guilty in that I am exhausted. I have hit a dead end and have run out of options (that's why I'm bringing it up here - desperation).

When she has already ate and has been changed and I have played with her and sing to her, then when I lay her down she begins to cry and if I leave out of the room where she is at, she starts to cry. When I am around her she is fine though. What is wrong, why does she do this, Does she want me to hold her all the time. By her doing this it is kind of impossible to get anything done unless she is alsleep. Any thoughts or advice. Thanks

I have a garage about 5 metres from the back of my property that i have converted into a room, and i was wondering how difficult or practical it would be to build an undercover walkway from my back door to the garage. i think it would help us use the room more if we could walk straight through without getting wet!!
any input greatly appreciated.

My dad is NEVER home, you might think I am not telling the complete truth, but I am! He has been on vacation 3 times this month! He is gone from 8:30 to 7:00 - 8:00 every day.

How long would it take, in minutes, for the person in the above question to walk off all the calories in the one brownie ? Walking requires energy equal to 2.5 times the basal metabolic rate.

Do NOT consider the energy needed to digest, absorb, and metabolize the snack itself, which the text describes as 10% of the ingested amount of food. Use the total amount of the energy in the one brownie in your calculation.

He will convince them that there is no other way to bring us around from debts? Is it possible they will decide that this is the only way ? And will use Israel to do the dirty work by attacking Iran? Then we will engage the Russians indirectly like we did in Nam with the Chinese?

Why don't more women work in adult entertainment? If I was an attractive woman, that is what I would do because I could accumulate a ton of money and build a nest egg.

She and myself are trying to muster as many folk as possibe that may be interested in a good old party night out for us Y! people... they do it in the States...apparently myspace does them too, so why not have one here in the UK? we have a loose plan and are trying to see how many of you would be interested???

to pre-answer the most obvious questions...

the location would most probably be central london, in a bar/club etc... where ID could be checked prior to entry to ensure everybody's over 18 (sorry folks under 18, but you'll have to organise your own if you want one)

weirdo's are in every bar or club you go to anyway... thus if you don't talk to them normally, this shouldn't be any different...

so.... how about it? would YOU attend?
