A young Jehovah's Witness has died just hours after giving birth to twins. She had signed a form refusing blood transfusions, and her family would not overrule her. Couldn't doctors have intervened?

Ok, so i have a pretty messed up family life, and im pretty messed up myself, and my mom wanted to get one for me when i was young but my dad said no, finally my mom managed to sneak me (literally) to a doctor to see if i was depressed, and luckily enough i am. so im going to see a psychologist, and im kind of nervous, because its hard for me to talk about my life, not because im afraid of letting others know, but because it makes me realize how horrible it really is and i like to block it out, so naturally i break down and cry, and i don't like to seem very vulnerable while crying. so what do i do?

After falling downhill for half of the trip, how much further would it go uphill using its kinetic energy? (Assume magnetic suspension.) If the heat energy picked up underground could be used to charge batteries, could it make the whole trip without using external energy?

Did you know that:
-Israel is the only country in the world with a net GAIN in the
number of trees?
- Israel is the global leader in the field of solar energy. 1980- Knesset passed a law requiring solar water heating systems in new private homes. Israel is now first in the world in the use of solar energy per capita (3% of the primary national energy consumption).
-As a country with scarce water resources, Israel has developed various water-saving technologies, among them drip irrigation, patented in 1956. At the Global Water Awards ceremony in Dubai in March 2006, an Israeli desalination plant won the top prize. (whoa, Dubai huh? Does this mean science can one day maybe make peace?).

Hi,

I am currently looking for a new job but I'm also a partner in a company. Our business is not in competition with the type of company I am applying for jobs with. Is it best practice to keep quiet about this?

I realise that different employers will have different clauses in their contracts but how could they actually find out? I assume they probably could if my tax code changes.

The jobs I am going for are in the 30k region. I would only need to earn £4601 more before I have to pay the 40% bracket.

I realise an accountant is the best person to ask about this but some general guidance or hearing of similar situations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

My vitamins say

" TAKE 2 pills TWICE daily."

Does that mean I have to take a total of 4 pills in one day?

or does that just mean I take 2 pills in one day?

please help

I have to write an essay that is similar to Jonathan Swift's "a modest proposal". In Swift's version, he proposes that in order to solve the poverty and food shortage in Ireland, most of the babies of poor people should be eaten. He makes a formal argument in the rhetorical style. It is highly satirical, and he does not belive what he writes.
I want to do the same thing with Global warming. (I Do not believe my following proposal, it is for a paper) My "modestly inconvenient proposal" is this: (in a nutshell) slaughter everyone in Africa, Asia, South America, and the middle east. Level their cities. Plant trees where human civilization once stood. I don't believe in this AT ALL, it is just for a paper. Anyway, I was wondering if someone could get me a rough estimate of
a) how much the temperature of the earth would decrease if the above act was carries out and
b) by how much the oxygen concentration on the world would increase.

My 4 year old has talked incessantly for months about wanting a guitar and to learn how to play a guitar. I've been shopping around for children's guitars for Christmas and have found several that all are recommended for kids six and up. She's only 4..

Do you think she's too young for a guitar? Should I get her one and let her try it? I would really like for her to learn how to play it because she's a very musical child- she loves to dance and sing, etc., but I'm afraid starting her too early when she's not able to understand will make her decide later on not to try anymore.

Has anyone read the Cosmic Forces of Mu by James Churchward? Any interesting truths to be found there that might explain causes of gravity and the other 3 major forces of the universe? If there are 11 or 20 dimensions are we talking about physical dimensions? Or astral? Or something else? The mystics speak of many dimensions other than the 4 we know of the physical plane.

the U.S.?

Why do we have relations with dicatorships in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and communist China and Vietnam, but not Cuba?

======================

North Korea signed an accord in February with the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Russia and China to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons in exchange for energy aid and normalized relations with the governments in Washington and Tokyo. Kim Jong Il's regime shut down its Yongbyon reactor, which produced weapons-grade plutonium, in July.

The U.S. and North Korea have discussed the country's removal from the State Department's list of states sponsoring terrorism as part of the agreement.

With my last child, I knew exactly when implantation occurred and knew I was pregnant before any home pregnancy test confirmed it. I wasn't on the pill then. Now, I am having those same feelings (lower back pains, crampy feelings, etc.), but I am currently on the pill. Should I stop taking them for the next two weeks until I can take a test or continue taking them as normal? I was not really wanting to be pregnant, but I certainly don't want to do anything to harm the baby if there is one. On the flip side, if I am not pregnant I don't want to chance it by stopping the pill if I really don't need to. Any serious help is greatly appreciated.

Lets just skip the whole thing about the crowds noise being ampliphied, causing the Pats to have to do handsignals instead of word of mouth. Which already makes it harder.
But wtf was with the calls the refs made! i think it was like 10 calls for 149 yard for a franchise record yellow flags in a game.
Hobbs gettting pass interferanec, Moss getting pass interferance, illigal formation, some sorta leg whip. And then look at the colts. They got like 25 yards in penelties. Even when THEY were the ones pass interfering and what not. OMG i kid you not if the pats hadent won, the colts would be in deep $H17 for paying off refs. Hense the point of this rant.
