Only press the forward arrow once you have done this.

Does it mean that we should press forward arrow once and not twice

OR

Does it mean that we should press the forward arrow after we have done this

OR Does it mean something else?

Hi, I just finished my freshman year of college and for some reason, I'm very concerned about my grades. The fall semester, I received a 2.2 GPA which really hurt me even though it was the beginning of my college experience. However, this semester, I improved dramatically and I'm thinking i might be getting a 2.9-3.0 GPA. My concern is that will Pharmacy schools (I'm a pre-pharmacy major btw) look at my freshman GPA as a bad thing? I guess i'm overreacting but I am also taking a summer course this year so I can get into a higher class next semester (chemistry). I'd really appreciate it if i received positive comments. Thanks :)

Okay, for algebra gurus, this should go by in the blink of an eye, but for me...ughh, well at least im passing 9th grade algebra with a 93%. Anyways, I need help on solving the last part of the problem, or I may have done it incorrectly?
well, the math problem (instuctions: perform indicated operations, then simplify) is...

2m/m-1 + m/2m-2

okay, you may answer the question, or you could be nice and read through my work, heck, it may save you the trouble of figuring the problem out!
I started by adding the numerators together to equal 2m
then i found the GCF (greatest commen factor) of the second denomenator = 2
and then i added m-1 with 2(m) to get 2(m-1)
this is where im stuck. My teacher gave me the answer of 5m/2(m-1) .... but where does the 5 come from?? thanks for helping!

I went back to school to get my degree. My wife wants me to, and she wants my little kids to see me do it, but I worry that it's an expensive trip to make just to wak across a stage. Do I do what they wish, or should I be selfish and ask to be taken out for dinner near home instead? What would/ have you done? Will I regret not doing it?

I've been researching on how to become a pharmacist (in the U.S.and am very confused about which is the best way. I'm going to be a senior in HighSchool next year and am stressed about how to become one. I've heard that it can take from 6-8 years so far. So far I heard two ways:
1.)Take 2 years of pre-requisite program (I don't know what the course is called-pre-med? will any pre-course count?) and then about 4 years of pharmacy school.
2.) Have a major in biochem. or chem. (are there any other majors I can take?) to get a bachelor degree (takes 4 years) and then transfer to a 4 year pharmacy school.

Im a high school teacher and children in America make me so upset the way they walk around acting like Im lucky theyre in school for me to teach. I have a few students from other countries who say the level of disrespect kids have for teachers here is amazing! I wish punishment in schools was stronger and that education was a privilege for children who actually work for it! Im not saying it should be something that can be bought, but something that requires some effort on the part of children.......How do you feel??

As we near the end of the first month of the new millennium, I have begun to ponder many things that until now have been taken for granted. As explosions of thought permeate my cerebrum, I find that I just must write! Anyway, here we are in the Year of our Lord, 2000, and computers and the Internet seem to be taking over the world. Everybody everywhere is trying to sell us something. We have: e-bays, e-commerce, e-links, e-mags, e-mails, e-malls, e-quests, and even e-zines! The old saying used to be, "The Ayes have it!" Now, it seems that the E’s have it.


GIMME AN "E" !!!


At the risk of sounding stupid, I guess the E stands for electronic, huh? So naturally, many, if not most of you, would quickly answer the question posed in my title by saying, "that’s easy . . . the computer is man’s greatest invention." Right? . . . WRONG !!! "How so?" You may ask. Well, inside just about every computer, there exists a little device whose function is to "cool" it; otherwise, it would over-heat and "CRASH!" Then where would we all be, if all the computers in the world simply could not function?

"Oh, abacus, abacus, wherefore art thou, abacus?"

Next, consider all the buildings in the world, both residential and commercial. What if all the furnaces, boilers, fans, and air conditioners simply could not work because of the absence of this same device? We would certainly be very uncomfortable most of the time, correct? Our entire environment would be drastically changed for the worse.

What if all the: automobiles, trucks, planes, trains, boats and ships would not work, for lack of this device? Transportation of people, products, and services would cease and desist! It would be kind of difficult, to say the least, for you to even acquire that "almighty" computer, wouldn’t it? And even if you foot-peddled your little tri-cycle somewhere and back to haul your little e-Wonder home, guess what? It would still over-heat and CRASH! Oh, yes, lest I be remiss, let us not forget all the: washing machines, driers, refrigerators, freezers, turn-tables, printers, fax machines, blenders, power tools, and every other mother-lovin’ appliance on the earth . . . none of them would work either!

By now you have gotten the picture, and know this "mad-man’s" answer, right? Is it: a micro-chip, a transistor, a diode, a capacitor, a voltage regulator, a generator, an alternator, or some other Electronic thing-a-ma-gig? NOPE! In my old 1953 edition of Webster’s New World Dictionary of The American Language, on page 961, it is defined as follows:








motor - n. 1. anything that produces or imparts motion. 2. an engine; especially, an internal-combustion engine for propelling a vehicle. 3. a vehicle propelled by an engine; especially, a motorcar; automobile. 4. in electricity, a machine for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.




So, there you have it, my contention is that the lowly motor is man’s greatest invention, merely because it has such a wide-spread influence over just about every other machine that was ever invented.. Practically every vehicle, ever manufactured anywhere needs a "starter motor" to engage the engine, in order to overcome inertia, whether it is internal combustion, gasoline powered, diesel powered, or even turbine powered. Every cooling or heating device which utilizes a fan, whether a propeller, or impeller, needs a motor to turn the shaft which spins the fan. While the greater majority of heating systems may be forced hot air, and utilize such a fan motor, even older homes like our 65-year-old hot water radiator system must have a circulating pump to force the hot water throughout the house. This pump is powered by an electric motor.


Q.E.D. : No motor = no motion . . .
No motion = no nuttin’ = Nuttin’ Honey!

As the sun sets in the west, and I bid you adieu, a startling revelation comes to mind. Namely, just what powers these great gadgets we call motors? Er, ah, well, um, you see, I guess it would be . . . electricity, huh?

Now we all know the story of the great inventor, Benjamin Franklin and his kite experiment, correct? Well, suffice it to say that he did not invent electricity, he just discovered it. So, while we may not know exactly who invented the greatest invention of man-kind, the motor (or so I say), maybe we can still give Ben three "thumbs’ up" and a "double jiggle" for his efforts, because without electricity, we’d be in a real peck of trouble. But that’s another story, for another day!
