An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 90.0 km/h is blowing toward the south.

If the airspeed of the plane (its speed in still air) is 310.0 km/h, in which direction should the pilot head?
What is the speed of the plane over the ground?

You were kicked out of your house and had no one to stay with. You had co-workers that you knew but you were their supervisor so it'd be an awkward situation but you had no other options but to sleep in your car. What would you do?

My five-year-old is a huge animal lover, so when he came across a street cat he was more than happy to carry it around and play with it for a while. I found out about it only as he tried to sneak it into his bedroom. He has seen this cat again and insists on playing with it. Well, now I, overreacting parent that I am, wonder what the chances are of him getting sick from this cat. Also, needless to say, he now wants us to own a cat (we already own a dog), but I'm not at all familiar with the hygiene issues involved. Could this cat make him sick? Is a cat a convenient (health-wise) pet for a kid?

Photographer
Wedding cake (for delivery - we do pay a delivery fee)
DJ
String quartet
Pastor
Bartenders (we pay per person per hour + 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)
Caterer (we pay 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)
Florist

We are also going to provide dinner for the photographer and DJ. Is this usually what is done? Thanks in advance!

I just got a 6 month old kitten, and she is a little devil.

I know that kittens can be evil by default, but do they usually grow out of it when they get older?

We give her lots of love (when she wants it)... if we try to pet her when she doesn't want us to, or take her out of a room she's not supposed to be in, she latches onto our hand/arm/closest-body-part and bites down and doesn't let go.

We do plan on getting her declawed once our dog learns not to mess with her, but will she ever stop biting and scratching us for no reason?

The wars in Afghanistan & Iraq cost a lot of money.
They have to be paid for some how.
In the past when the USA went to war it did a number of things to pay for it from raising taxes to selling bonds

This administration seems to be tax cuts and borrowing from foreign governments to pay for the wars.

It seems to me that if they are so interested in these wars they should be willing to pay for them out of there own pocket.

If Bonds where sold to US citizens at least then the debt would at least then be owned by US citizens.

Taxes will have to be paid one way or the other to pay for these wars (occupations) whether we borrow from other nations or sell bonds (borrow) from US citizens.

Those who made war material should be paid enough to pay good wages (NOT EXCESIVE PROFITS) (SOME OF THESE WAR PROFITEERING MERCENARIE COMPANIES ARE MAKING MAYBE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS AT US CITIZENS EXPENSE) More taxes

War profiteering should be a crime that imposes severe punishment for Management

Do you like William John or John William better? I love both the nicknames Will and Jack, so I'm really wondering which flows better. Both names are family names, so neither will be moved. However, if you can suggest others with similar names that would be fine.

Also:
James Andrew or Andrew James?
George Thomas or Thomas George?
Anne Elizabeth or Elizabeth Anne?
Catherine Mary or Mary Catherine?
or any other combinations using: Catherine, Mary, Anne, Elizabeth, Margaret, Virginia, Genevieve
James, Andrew, John, William, George, Thomas, Samuel, Lewis
All names are family names (yes, I know I have bland family names, but all of these people are important to me and I would like to honor them). Slight variations are okay.
By the way, I'm not pregnant, I was just wondering what you all thought of some of my top names
Thanks!

Among the U.S. Marines who fought against the Japanese in W W II was 21-yr/o Corporal William Devers, who considered himself an agnostic. No amount of arguing, Bible-quoting or coercion by his fellow Marines or the chaplain could sway him. During the company's first major encounter with the Japanese, a number of the unit were killed and the chaplain was wounded. In great pain, the chaplain called to Devers, "My..left pocket..take it..please..Last night I had a dream. In the dream an angel appeared and told me that I had to make you take the Bible. Take it, son..please." Devers shoved the Bible into his shirt pocket to satisfy the wounded man.
Twenty minutes later, Devers' squad stumbled right into a Japanese patrol, and before he knew what had happened he was on the ground, his mind fading into the darkness, certain he was dying. When he came to, he felt a ripple of pain shoot through his chest, but there was no blood.
The bullet had torn into the Bible he carried in his pocket, ....
