Hello,
Reading a book named The Queen's English ,
I found a sentence confusing me.
Writer says it's wrong in terms of grammar to say "The national interest is not increasing food production."
What I think is that since this sentence consists of a subject,
verb (is), and a noun,
*The national interest = subeject.
* is = be
* not increasing = a gerund acting as a noun.
There's nothing wroing in this sentencce.

If i am wrong , what is the difference in terms of grammar
between saying the national interest is not increasing production and he is not a student, when the two sentences
have their subjects, be and nouns.
would clearly tell me why i am wrong and how I can make a better sentence?

one more thing,

* He would not cave in to international pressure over climate change.

* He would not cave in on capital penalty.

I am wondering why the first sentence has "to" after cave in
whereas the second has "on" after cave in.
How do you know when to use on or to?

I used blogger for my host and godaddy to register my domain. And it works great, but if visitors to my site don't type in the www, they don't end up where I want them to. I called godaddy and contacted google, each blame each other and since google's service is free, it's hard to argue.

Any ideas?

I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that am thinking of breeding together but was curious about what it entails with all the health testing required before breeding? How much does it cost? What is involved in the actual testing? Thanks. :)

I'm going on a vacation and I'll be in Victoria for a little bit, and so I have a few questions about the place.

1. What are the main tourist attractions that you don't have to pay lots of money to see?
2. Can you give me the names of some relatively inexpensive restaurants in Victoria that serve food that is uniquely that of Victoria?
3. Do residents of Victoria drink tea in the afternoon like British people do? Where's a good place to go and have an authentic Victorian tea?
4. Is there a bank near the harbor where I can go and exchange currencies?

Three women are about to be executed for crimes.
One's a brunette, one's a redhead, and one's a blonde.
Two guards bring the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts,
"Ready . . . Aim . . ." Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde has figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The blonde shouts, "Fire!!"

My question is based on the assumption (possibly a poor one) that if an object B moves away from an object A then that is the equivalent of object A moving away from object B (in the opposite direction of course).

If this assumption is correct then please help me with this thought experiment. Imagine there are two clocks A and B in space that are positioned next to each other. Lets say that clock B traveles away from clock A at a significant % of the speed of light and then returns back to A at that speed. Because of time dilation lets say that clock B measures only one minute has elapsed while clock A measures 1 hour. If my initial assumption was correct then it could equally be said that clock A traveled at a high speed away from clock B and therefore clock A should have the smaller elapsed time. My question is how can clock A register both 1 minute and 1 hour having elapsed?

Please point out the flaws in my argument because this problem has really been of interest to me
