This is a purely hypothetical situation. I am writing fiction, so please do not tell me about 'proper' nutrition, etc.

Assuming that we have NO OTHER OPTION but to grow food crops in soils rich in these metals and NO OTHER food crops available, how harmful/dangerous is it to eat plants that have grown in soils rich in these metals? Are any of them NOT necessary trace nutrients? Are they easily eliminated from the body? What sort of toxicity levels can be expected? How long can people eat the crops before symptoms develop? Is it likely that those symptoms would be noticed by medically UNTRAINED personel...?

Relative to toxicity and elimination from the body, if other food crops free of those metals (also lacking in necessary nutrients) were available, comment on the possibility of alternating the consumption of metal rich crops and the metal poor crops and the ability of such a diet to sustain a degree of health.

Complicated question, but thanks for your patience, in advance.

Geometry is another form to visulaize algebra than why is it so difficult to understand the problems of solving algebra?

Its so hard, to get the big picture the whole idea of visulaizing, and word problems. Im good with algebra but not with geometry. There comes a saying, for who ever wants to accomplish the job, then shall work hard to thrieve throu goal will accomplish.

I try to work hard, ask questions, memorizing, but it does not work, cause its geometry.

What can I do to help me, solve problems, shapes, angles, sides, forumlas?

Is that a politically incorrect term, such as calling a black person black vs African American. Should we say Hearing Impaired instead of deaf?

I don't mean what we hearing people would think among ourselves, I mean what would a deaf person actually think about this?

a few weeks ago i got 2 medaka fish (gold ones but i dont think thats relevant) and within the first few days one of them died. we think it was caused by the fact that we didnt rinse the filter cartride properly, because the water went cloudey for about 4 days. however the other one survived, and last week i noticed it was getting fat, but just thought it was caused by me over feeding it. then a couple of days after that it layed eggs, and now they are on the bottom of the tank. and now also, the fishs tail is bent. so my questions are:

1. will the eggs hatch?

2. did the (what we think was a male) fish die bcoz after they mate the male dies (probably a stupid question)

3.why is the (still alive) fishs tail bent?

4.how long in their life span generaly?

thanks.

I mean where can they get foods and money from ? Where do they live ? at their own homes ? What can they get if the fights continue ? They want to overthrow the new Iraqi government ? or simply for the purpose of personal revenge ?

i am thinking of those who have had fun deriding bush for not knowing the capital of some absurd country or, the religious make-up of another.

wouldn't it be just as easy to point out intellectual shortcomings and flaws in these same people if their every word was recorded for prosperity?

for one, i worry about the slippery sloped logic of and lack of critical thinking skills among these people who are supposedly so much smarter yet, have allowed themselves to become immersed in their own pompousness and snobbery.

I got engaged last January of 2006, and needless to say, it didn't work out. What is the best way to get rid of the ring and wedding band and get a decent amount for it?
