It seems that brown rice is always more expensive, but isn't it the raw form (or close to it) of rice? Doesn't it cost more money to refine rice to make white rice? Thanks.

For a simple quadratic equation, let's say in standard for is simply
ax^2+bx+c=0. Why cannot this be rearranged to solve for a, b , or c
when you have 2 values such as "a" and "b", "a" and "c", or "b"
and "c".

Why doesn't the equation hold true when you are trying to rearrange
to solve for missing variables?!

x= -b+- sqrt b^2-4ac / 2a that is for solving x
Why doesn't it hold true if you do the following for other
variables:

To solve for b: b= -ax^2+c / x
To solve for a: bx+c / x^2
to solve for c: c= -ax^2-bx

1. Abscesses and digestive organs are punctured during slaughter, releasing pus, fecal material and ingesta all over carcasses. The law requires that affected meat and poultry be trimmed rather than rinsed. Plants repeatedly skip trimming and merely rinse the meat, which can force bacteria into the porous flesh. Up to 25% of slaughtered chickens on the inspection line are covered with feces, bile and feed.


2. Diseased (cancerous and tuberculoid) animals condemned during ante-mortem inspection are sent to slaughter in violation of the law.


3. Red meat animals and poultry that are dead on arrival or die in the yard while awaiting slaughter are hidden from inspectors doing ante-mortem inspections and hung up to be butchered. Severed heads from "cancer eye" cattle are switched to smaller carcasses, so less meat will be condemned.


4. Chickens and hams are soaked in chlorine baths to remove slime and odor, and red dye is added to beef to make it appear fresh.


5. Rancid meat is smoked to cover foul odor, or marinated and breaded to disguise slime and smell.

Is tipping a pet sitter common practice? I have a pet sitter who takes care of our 3 small dogs when we take extended weekend vacations. She charges a daily rate, but I wonder if I should also be tipping her, too (15-20%)? She is the owner and only employee of her company, so I don't know if that matters. If you are a pet sitter, I'd also love to hear what you think. Thanks!

for some reason in Isaiah 14: 12- 16 and Ezekial 28 : 12 (B) - 16...People don't want to think Lucifer is who we now call Satan.Why is that? Lucifer was cast out of the mountain of God .Jesus said"I saw Satan fall like lightning". Isaiah says "How art thou fallen from Heaven?..."
What's the problem .It is Satan,get over it.He still has acess to heaven on a temporary basis (Zecheriah 3 and Job 1) but some day Michael will thrust him out for good.Of course ,then all Hell will break out on Earth, but that's for the book of Revelation!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'm fourteen, but I can't seem to accept the fact that my childhood is over. Am I too old to go trick-or-treating with my friend? I know most parents hate the teenagers who smash pumpkins and push little kids around, but my friend and I aren't like that. We just want to go trick-or-treating, because it's a fun tradition for us. Would you, as a parent, be annoyed if I showed up at your door on Halloween? Am I too old already?
