Why in ancient times (before any bible was written) did people make up gods and worship them? Why did so many people try to seek out a higher power? How can we explain this peculiar trait that human beings have?

A coil is wound on an iron former of mean magnetic length of 25cm and cross-section of 4cm^2. The relative magnetic permeability is 1000, leakage, fringing and losses of all types are neglected. The coil will be connected to an AC source of frequency = 400Hz so that the peak current drawn does not exceed 0.1A and the iron operates at a peak flux density of 0.9T.

a) By using Ampere's law, determine the number of turns, N of the coil to meet this specification.

b) By using Faraday's law, obtain an expression relating the peak supply voltage to the peak magnetic field intensity.

c) Calculate the maximum permissible peak supply voltage so that the specified peak current and flux density are no exceeded.

Is this one of the subtle beginnings, a soft-sell start, before it really becomes a hard push with lies and deceit like it did with Iraq?

There has been a horrible car accident right behind my house. I can't really see anything except lights and smoke but there have been several ambulances leave already and med-assist helicopters fying out from the hospital. If you don't care please pray for those people. My worst fear is that there were children involved. If you're interested I'll post what happened on my blog tomorrow after the news.

dear all, I see people use centrifugal decanter to separate mixture of liquid and solid, after that, liquid is transfered to membrane to separate liquid mixture.
But I consider that Can we use both centrifugal decanter and membrane to separate azeotropic mixture of liquid such as ethanol anf water to increas capacity as well as reduce time to dehydrate this azeotropic mixture ?
It mean that we will install membrane in centrifugal decanter...
Thanks

I'm 28 and currently do aerobics classes 3 times per week for the last year with 2 resistance classes a week. I lost weight at first and without changing anything I've gained it all back. Currently I'm at 195 and 5'6". I measure 41 bust, 36 waist, abdomen 42, hips 44, thigh 27. Most people think that I weight in the 160's the way my body is proportioned but I want to lose 40 lbs and tone up. My major problem areas are my legs and abdomen (like most women) What is the best way for me to start a good weight loss routine that includes running without having to pay for a gym membership. Any diet hints would be nice also. I've started eating all natural/organic meats and dairy and eat salads and fruits. Is that ok? Thanks in advance. :)

Many European ( former) Allies have condemned current USA
policies and questioned the legality of the Iraqi invasion.
Some have chickened out completely, but the French contribute to the force in Afghanistan ( considerably ).
But the friendship seems to have cooled so much, even though
it dates back to the American revolution, that I wonder if the Statue of Liberty the French people presented as a gift of
friendship ought to be demolished and returned.
That would seem to be the appropriate and honest thing to do
considering the prevailing attitude.

Or should the torch be replaced by two stretched out middle
fingers welcoming us European immigrants and visitors to reflect the
prevailing mood in the USA today.

I'm sorry but here in 'Old Europe' friendship does not mean you
tell somebody exactly what he wants to hear, if we think a friend is wrong you ought to tell him. We're old fashioned.
The French are very proud people, this rift might take years
to close again.

Check them out next time you see them barefoot or wearing sandals (and really, is there any other way?). Their toes are always dirty and usually misshapen, and at least one nail always seems to be afflicted with fungus. I think toes are the window to a person's soul.

Love's Lacking Cry

I never thought I'd have to push and shove,
just for a bit of my father's love.
He never called me 'Daddy's little girl",
Never spun me in a childish twirl.
He never read me a tale from my favorite story book,
Never helped me make a clubhouse in a small corner nook.
He never danced with me in the rain,
Never kissed away the pain.
He never took me to the rink to skate,
But now its too late.

He never crossed the street, and held my hand tight,
never chased away the monsters in the middle of the night.
He never looked at me in awe with pride,
never came to comfort me when I cried.
So how come I feel his arms around me,
after he's died?
