My friend has come across an old book on her shelf - its a second edition of Wuthering Heights, with the author being Ellis Bell and edited by Currer Bell.

She would like to know if there are any institutions in the UK where she could find out more information about this book; for example; would the British Library be of help?

Question is:

Two rectangles that are the same except in size.

Rectangle 1(larger of the two):
a)has an area: 64cm^2
b)a long side of 8.2cm

Rectangle 2(smaller of the two)
a)has an area of 25cm^2

b) the long side is unknown, how do we find this out.

I thought you needed to do.

Large area - small area
64 - 25 = 39

The square root of this to change the scale factor to length not area which = 6.2

then do 25(area of smaller) divided by 6.2 = 4? is this correct>

thanks for any help

I'm planning on selling my 5G iPod 30gb vid for $150 on craigslist, and probably gonna buy the iPod touch 8gb.. The wifi is what locked me in especially because wifi is gonna continue to expand in the public sphere in the next few years. I think 8 gigs is a decent size because I plan on putting only my most favorite albums and songs on there.. What do you think about the Ipod touch and does my plan sound reasonable?

, have placed such great emphasis on the word "Rememberance", why is this?

Could it be that this one word "Rememberance", is what will bring "True Peace" into the life of one that has taken human form?

These verses make it sound like there are several gods:

Genesis 1:26
And God said, let us make man in our image.

Genesis 3:22
And the Lord God said, Behold, then man is become as one of us, to know good and evil.

If there is only one god, what is going on here?

To be honest, I've got slight facial hair in a lot of areas on my face (cheekbones, cheeks even, etc.) and I've got dark hair, so you could say it's noticeable. But in certain lights, it looks really light.

I've seen blondes (just using an extreme comparison) who have probably more facial hair than I do but I guess it doesn't bother them.

I don't feel like waxing my entire face lol, so this is ok, right? i mean there's like this semi-dark shade when i look at my face from certain angles because of the hair but i think it's pretty normal so...

guys, input?

I absolutely despise everything about sports.
I find them to be offensive to all 5 of the senses.

There is absolutely nothing that I hate more.

And other people just don't seem to get it...
Does anyone else feel the same way that I do?
