Often I find that when someone says "sorry but that's my opinion", the ATTITUDE behind their spoken words suggests that they really meant to communicate this message: "Unfortunately for you, my personal point of view is beyond reproach and I will be highly irritated if you dare to object or disagree".

It seems that some people place opinions up on a pedestal; they treat opinions like untouchable, sacred things that no one ought to ever contradict or suggest to be ill-informed. It seems that they feel slighted or wronged in some way if people don't either agree with/affirm the point of view expressed or tiptoe away politely without protest.

Does anyone notice a similar attitude in others (or in themselves) once in a while?

1. Why positive charge moves from higher voltage to lower voltage?
2. why negative charge moves from lower voltage to higher voltage?
3. if one positive charge of 1 coulomb spontaneseously moves between point 100 volt and 150 volt, it converts some of the energy it has into energy of motion, how much energy would this charge convert to energy of motion?
4. 12 volts with 2 amperes and a circuit of 12 volt with 5 amperes, which has higher electrical resistance? why? (i answer the 2 amperes with higher resistance between with resistance, that's why it is lower or else with lower resistance, it would be 5 amperes)
5. why some magnetic materials are magnets while others are not but behave like one in the presence of another magnet?
6. why some materials are magnetic while others may be non-magnetic.?

I am thinking of studying paganism and Wicca magicks, and joining a coven. However, I know those around my - family, friends, my man ... will not support my decision. How did your families, friends, and lovers react to your choices? Do they know?

There are five types of cardiomyopathies, and their first letters are D, H, R, O, and A. Can you think of a sentence with these five letters as the first letters of each word? Thanks a lot.

You should use care when dissolving H2SO4 in water because the process is highly exothermic. To measure the enthalphy change, 5.2g H2SO4 (l) was added (with stirring) to 135g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. This resulted in an increase in temperature from 20.2 degrees C to 28.8 C.

Calculate the enthalphy change for the process
H2SO4(l) -> H2SO4(aq), in kJ.mol.

Hi- tomorrow I am travelling all day from Devon to Edinburgh for a job interview. I will have one small sports bag with me. After the interview I will literally have to run like Jessie Owens to get the last train of the day home, so I need to leave literally like a shot from the interview (I mean really running).

Is it acceptable to an employer if an interviewee brings a small bag in to the interview or is it wise to see if I can leave it somewhere, at the risk of having to collect it and missing my train? The bag is the size of a small cat basket, give or take.

Thanks.
