I'm told the Soviet Union used hydroproxide torpedos, or they used the hydroproxide like a fuel soucre with its chemical reaction. Well I'm interested in learning more about(everything about) the engine systems they used, or how they had it set up, i wanna know any-and everything there is to know about it, I'd like to know the ratios they used, I'm told it was 8oz. of water mixed with 1 drop of proxide to make the desired chemical reaction. please any and every single bit of info history, specs(really), and anything thanks abunch!
I'm not using it to make torpedos, REALLY. figured i'd clear that up.

When there are festivals or events there always seem to be balloons given out. Well i was at an event the other day and there were balloons being given out. A few times i saw balloons flying away in the sky. What happens to them eventually? Do they lose air, and begin to fall, do they get stuck in airplane parts, do they eventually deteriorate, or do they just keep flying away into outter space?

Hi,
I have been searching on net for some time on some good resources, which will give me some basis info on how a house is built,what grounds the house, what holds the ceiling etc. More appropriately videos, images etc, which give step by step construction procedure. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

To the nearest billion? 0.1 billion? 0.01 billion?

There are censuses and estimations of course, but they can't possibly count everyone.

What about people who live in undiscovered tribes?

What about people in very rarely visited nearly pristine tribes? Do they send someone out to bother them for the first time in years just to check how many there are?

Do estimations include take this into account or not?

There can't be too many of them, all the people living in 3000 B.C. for example was ~0.1 billion, and that was when many had already found farming.

What happens when there is a war or drought like the Rwandan genocide, they can't keep track of how many people die.

What about illegal immigrants, the homeless, the really poor, people without a permanent place of living, people who are less likely to be counted in a census.

Does the world pop estimate include them?

I'm 18, female.

The only thing I can imagine I took after my father is his dark eye color (although the shape is 100% mom) and his dark hair color (although the hair texture is 100% mom)

Everyone says I look identical to my mother... and that my sister looks like my dad. I look absolutely NOTHING like my father... I can't find any similarities in the facial structure at all! Nothing...

He is short... 5'9" My mother is tall... 5'11" and I'm 5'11" so I took after my mother's height.

Personality-wise, my mother is exactly like me: shy, calm, and my father is outgoing, loud..

My mother has a very high metabolism, just like me... no matter how much we eat, we're always skinny. My dad on the other side, eats quite alot... and he's overweight.

Also I seem to have the same skin type as my mother's... not genetically prone to acne. My father had SEVERE acne from ages 13 to 18... and I haven't had a single breakout in my life.

Hey guys, I might be going to a college that is about 1/2 a mile away from an airport. You can literally see the radar rotate from the college steps. I'm concerned about my health because I've heard that radar emits harmful radiation. Is this true? Please offer some educated advice. Thank you!

I'm currently stuck on a set of problems that the book doesn't have examples for, e.g:

"Nine times the first of two consecutive odd integers equals seven times the second. Find the integers."
