I was listening to a song on the radio the other day and according to the singer it was called Liddle Iddly. I always thought it was called Little Italy. What's with the not pronouncing Ts?

Find the derivate of:
q=[e^(-0.1t)](0.2sin120πt+0.8cos120πt)

I know these type of problems are hard to visualize with it all typed in one straight line, so to clarify:

(-0.1t) is the exponent for 'e', and everything else is multiplied by the result of e^(-0.1t)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get fairly good grades in exams but poor essay results because I leave it until the night before I have to hand them in. I try to do it earlier but I can't make myself. I know most people have the same problem right? But does anyone have any tips how to trick yourself into just sitting there and doing it, I've been sat in front of my laptop for 4 hours now and all i've done is highlighted some notes, love to hear some techniques if anyone could help i'd be really grateful, thanks guys.

Yesterday I posted this question and there were two persons kindly giving their opinions on this phrase. However, I have still not understand it clearly. My yesterday's question is bellow.

Pls help simplify the phrase "traffic can bear"?

In English, there is only so much alliteration that the traffic can bear. For example, "...and as the sunlight began to pale, the flutes screnaded the dale, and the boy's heart would swell and drift into a gentel dream."
This is my translation homework which is very tough for me because I'm not a native English speaker.
Although, I try to interpret the phrase. In my own opinion, I think the meaning should be that in English poems, alliteration can be used as much as possible until the poet feels that his work really sounds euphonic. Could someone help explain me the said phrase, please?

I have a bachelor's degree in engineering, but I do not like it. Rather, I like to write. I wish to do a master's degree that's got to do with writing. I want to learn all kinds of writing - creative writing, writing articles, copywriting, etc. What degree is suitable? Degree in creative writing? Journalism? I'd like to do a master's degree that'll get me a job that's got to do with writing. Also, is it possible for an engineering graduate to do a master's degree that's related to writing? Any advice? Thanks.

I have a BA degree in French as a foreign langugae, and an MA
in English a foreign language from a German university. Right
now, I am teaching at a German school in China.
Somehow , I like teaching butt I want to teach less since I really
find it tyring.
I also started to play the piano again and want to play in hotel
lobbys but my repertoire is not big enough yet- as to my
sound - I think I am ok - acutally.
Another interest of mine is journalism as a hobby and I did write
articles for several newspapers as a freelancer during my studies
but then stopped.

Recently, I started learning Italian since I want to go to Italy
next year.

Overall , I think I don´t think I am doing anything poperly, and
considering age (42) I don´t have any security yet because
I have always been a freelancer since schools that pay appropriately always ask for two Master´s which I don´t have.
Too late ?? What should I do ?

Potential household hazards that threaten children’s lives are everywhere. They lurk in the kitchen, the bathroom and the playroom. They come in different shapes, colours and sizes, and they can creep up on children even when parents are at home. These threats can be poisonous substances, unguarded stairwells, or balconies made accessible due to open doors and windows.

Children should know how to dial 911, and what to do in case of a fire,” he explains. “Other rules should be in place in case someone phones, or comes to the door. Children shouldn’t answer the door, and if someone calls, it’s wise to say that their mom or dad is in the shower or unavailable at the moment.”

My friend's son who is a fairly good student is going to appear for the exams on 8th April. He has been preparing for the same for the past 2 years at a fairly famous Coaching-Class in Mumbai. He has enjoyed his stint at the institute. He has given the board 10+2 recently. He is not feeling tense at all which is surprising to the friend and his wife. This they recently confided in me and asked me to put it up on Yahoo Answers as they know I am one of it's enthusiast.

DO YOU THINK THEIR SON IS REALLY CONFIDENT/OVER-CONFIDENT?

Do you think he is indulging in escapism?

PL. Only IITians, past and present to answer if others don't mind.
