If I am not mistaken, one year is one full orbit by the earth around the sun. One year is also when the earth has gone through a full cycle of the seasons (summer winter spring etc) depending on your location on the Earth.

Is it just by coincidence that these two factors have the same time period? I mean, by the time the Earth has orbited the sun and come back to where it started, the seasons or tilting of the earth have finished their cycle at exactly that point. Is this just a coincidence or are these two factors somehow linked to each other in some way?

The middle of say, summer in a particular place is not exactly new years day, but the fact that the actual cycle lasts 365 and whatever days is my point. The season of summer starts a roughly the same time every year.

When was one year in our calender worked out and by who? Did they base it on the tilting of the Earth or the orbit? Also, given this information, what is today's definition of one year based on?

you approach a girl sitting on the bar alone, you get her to come join you n your friends ((big group of boys n girls)) ,
n you get her a drink.
after a while you leave the table for 5 minutes.
you come back one of your friends sitting away from his girlfriend which also your friend,ask her to sit next to him n start a innocent conversation (((as he said)))?!!?!!?
then you go chill outside on a table,when they both come out but they don't see you, they both exchange numbers out side so his girl friend don't see him.

1)was it an innocent conversation?why exchange numbers out side away from his girl friend??
2)would you still consider him as a friend knowing that you told him that you where interested in her??
3)what do you think about the girl sitting on the bar??
4)He never said am sorry or try to fix things, he still say i did not know n it was an innocent conversation.
5)she is not important to me,i don't respect her anymore,but she showed me what kind of pig was having as a friend.

I have two male rabbits that I took on earlier this year as their previous owner didn't want them anymore and was planning on killing them. I've had them both neutered and they are always together so they must have a good bond. My older brother has asked if I can take on another unwanted, badly treated rabbit from someone who rescued it from a young boy who wasn't caring for it properly. The woman who currently has the rabbit has said she will take him to the vet to be neutered. My two rabbits live in an enclosure which is approximately 10feet x 8feet x 10feet x 8feet and around 6 - 7feet high and have a hutch in there too, I let them out of the hutch in the morning and shut them in again late at night. My question is, am I doing the right thing taking on another rabbit and are they likely to fight, or will they settle down and be good company for each other? I'd like to give the rabbit a good home, but not if it's going to cause trouble with the other two!

Here are the fast food places in my town that serve breakfast. McDonald's, Hardee's, Burger King, Sonic, and there is some new coffee place called Uncommon Grounds. My throat really hurts and I want a cup of hot chocolate without having to go to the store and making it myself. Drive Thru would be great!

say a cook with hiv cuts his finger with a knife and drops a single drop of blood into wet foods and a lukewarm soups, the soups areat very neutral temperatures. then the wet foods (non dry foods) and the lukewarm soups with fresh blood from the cook with hiv is served right away to customers. will the customers get hiv? they say that hiv in a single drop of blood outside the body will become impotent or will die if the hiv infected blood is outside the human body. they say that when blood dries up or when it clots as it is exposed to the outside environment, hiv will die. how will blood clotting or drying destroy or kill hiv? what if the hiv infected blood is dropped in soups or any other wet foods? how will the blood clot or how will that drop of blood dry up if it is dropped in wet foods and soups at very neutral temperatures? i have read from wikipedia that a single human cell is about 60 times bigger than a single hiv. come to think of it, imagine just 100 hiv within or among other 10 000 to 100 000 cells like rbc and wbc in a single drop of blood. how can external environmental factors penetrate into those 100 hiv among thousands of other cells? wont those other thousands of blood cells act as a barrier for external environmental agents to penetrate and destroy hiv? imagine food with a very fresh drop of blood infected with hiv be taken or eaten by restaurant or fast food customers.

Don't get me wrong I like rap but I also think it should be banned. If there was less gangstar rap there would be less gun crime. Alot of teenagers think it is cool to carry a gun because they think being a gangstar is cool and that it means peolpe will give them respect. If gangstar rap was banned then maybe youngsters won't keep looking up to ganstar and that way of life.
Who thinks it should be banned?

Bearing in mind that on these boats you normally only have a few feet of water underneath you, you are rarely more that ten ot twenty feet from the shore or towpath, and can only travel at approximately 4 mph, what is the appeal?

What is it about them that makes people spend anything up to £150K buying them, and want to live on them?
