Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

I don't know who translated it or where it's from...I realize that makes it harder...I find the word "obtained" and the phrase "nor by its growth" awkward and odd, but I don't know what it was in Russian (nor do I know any Russian at all) so I wouldn't want to presume to "improve" it.

Thanks!

Pro-responsible choice? after all it's not like we advocate using abortion as a birth control.. most of us wish for there to be fewer abortions and support programs to help lower the abortion rate.. we just don't think it's our place to make that decision for someone else... so I suggest this name change to help clear up some of the confusion about us that others seem to have.

Here is the link for the poem

I just want to know is this poem written. Is it in iambic pentameter or what, and how you classify it?

.Thou large-brained woman and large-hearted man,
Self-called George Sand ! whose soul, amid the lions
Of thy tumultuous senses, moans defiance
And answers roar for roar, as spirits can:
I would some mild miraculous thunder ran
Above the applauded circus, in appliance
Of thine own nobler nature's strength and science,
Drawing two pinions, white as wings of swan,
From thy strong shoulders, to amaze the place
With holier light ! that thou to woman's claim
And man's, mightst join beside the angel's grace
Of a pure genius sanctified from blame
Till child and maiden pressed to thine embrace
To kiss upon thy lips a stainless fame.

In triangle ABC, AM is the median from A to BC, and angle AMC= 60.Prove that AB is not equal to AC. ( here we have to use indirect proof means we hav to start by assuming that AB is equal to AC and than we have to prove that AB is not equal to AC by using some contradiction)

I have had a roof leak in my condo for several years now, I sent photos with slight mold damage, which at that point they came out and pulled out my drywall, re-drywalled and replastered and repainted, unfortunatley the leak on the roof was not repaired, so I am dealing with same issue all over again, after sending letters and photos and realizing that they just arent interested in resolving my problem, I want to seek an attorney for help. Any information on an attorney that might handle this type of case would be much appreciated.
