I am doing a report on Lyra and we need to find a certain amount of things before I can hand it in. I was hoping that if I gave what I am looking for that someone could stear me in the right direction with websites and things.

1. What is the official name of the constellation from the IAU?
2. Are there any alternative names for this constellation? Like from other cultures.
3. What are the coordinates of the stars in this constellation? Also when can different states see it, like what months for the states.
4. What is the stellar evolution of the alpha and beta stars in this constellation?
5. What is the COMPLETE myth behind the constellation of Lyra?

Thanks to all for your help! I really appreciate it!!! : )

Cars used to be built as rigid as possible to withstand collisions. Today, though, cars are designed to have "crumple zones" that collapse upon impact. What is the advantage of this new design?

Considering Iams history for recalls in pet foods, ( I know this may not make sense) but because of financial reasons and because Innova Evo was temporarily out of my reach, I switched to Iams for about a week and a half. Only one of my 8 mo old kittens likes Iams wet food and he started to have very loose stool for about 3 days. When I got ahold of Innova Evo I immediately switched his foods two days ago but this morning I found evidence of what could be vomit? He is still has a lot of energy and I have not seen any signs of worms, his coat has already become a lot softer and shinier, has very good appetite and drinks water. Doesn't seem to have lost weight, is not acting depressed, could it be because I switched his foods suddenly and what can I do

111) Allegra*


Even the hollow reed voices across sand, dry plains,
Startling lilt, notes we can remember.
We can forget. Forgetting is our salvation,
Not reincarnation.
When memory is destroyed, we are spared
Thorns, destiny.
No further life.
Peace be with you.
With you, Father.

To each the choice, known, unknown, of what the
Heart can render. Rending forever, keeping us
Worn, sworn to earth, dust.
Do not erect stones for me, they would keep me
Company. I did not have companionship in
Life, why plague the stones at sunset?
Cover me with thorns, as in life, one reed,
One drum. I clutch music of death,
No salvation, yet reincarnation.
You are in peace. Let me.
Remember me.
Remember.

Who would leave their bed of winter's night
To light dark's ice with wax candle?
Not you, priest...
Bound by law to the body, not soul's grief
Or expansion.
Bound to limit the soul in one direction.
Denial of reed and drum leads voices,
In canto, to ceilings.
Captured. Tonal.
Never twice on key.

To each a choice...thorn, dulled thorn.
Thorn nonetheless.
Vine. Rose.
What redemption after salvation?
Can salvation be redeemed?
Must it, should it, by who's hand...
Long the vine, short the rose.
Together...vining rose of headstones
Rendering hollowness in winter's
Dark ice.
For you who remember...
A candle.

I don't want reports from scientists (I can find those myself). I want you to think about all of what you have learned about the Global Warming theory and tell me personally what you think will happen if our climate warms up more.

Try to push what the media is telling you aside and give this some real thought, because I'll know if you are giving me rhetoric or telling me what you truely believe will happen.

I think they do. With A-Rod making $300 million, how much will a mega superstar make in 10 years? $500 million?? Players are making too much and the salaries are only going to go up. I think Selig needs to make a maximum salary like the NBA has so fans can afford to go to games in 10 years. If this doesn't happen games will be so expensive no one will be able to go. I know the MLBPA won't approve it, but Selig can you use a best interest of the game clause to institute it.

There is this girl in my class who is a real *****.She can be really sweet whilst she is stabbing you in the back.She really wound me up the other day till I lost it and called her a ******* ***** and went to push her this was before anyone else arrived,as I did the tutor came in to pull us of and I told him to **** off too because I was still seeing red.She realised i would get into trouble and gave a calm smile and said I don't know just because she wanted to see this boy and I told her he was seeing me.This was a complete lie so I threw a nearby book which hit the tutor on the shoulder I then ran off cos I could not face themI know this looks really bad for me but I am usually not a truoblemaker at all.Now I dread going back although my friend says she will stick up for me as she knows what this girl is like.When I got home the school had not contacted my parents which may be a good thing.I know if I did get suspended they would be so mad as they both work in education and it would

The current philosophy is uncertainty principle.
Has anybody actually meaured a statistical variation on the speed of light?
At what point from quantum level up does uncertainty arise?
The concept of introduction of uncertainty seems to be a given rather than explanation and the parameters that may attribute to it seem to be rather fixed.
Has anybody tried to ascertain the point at which uncertainty is inherent and written any papers on it?
