Science & Mathematics - 21 September 2007

I was recently prescribed Faktu ointment to control my anal itching. My question is, how should I apply this? It came with a tube (which I am pressuming should be inserted into the anal cavity) which I initially did not use due to my hesitation in having anything inserted into my butt. So... i opted to use it as a cream but when the itching did not stop, I took the risk of finally using the tube applicator however, the itching still did not stop. Am I appying it the right way?

In relation to my first question, I've had this anal itching for about a month already and have gone through a fecal test which came out negative. Could this itching be a side effect of my long term use of Montelukast (I was prescribed this tablet to control my asthma)? I've been taking Montelukast for about 6-7 months already.

Heelllpppppp!!!!!!! :(

I have applied for college and I have to take an enterance test which includes math.

I am SOOOO bad at math and I mean REALLY bad at math. I am sort of lucky I can add and subtract.

I want to ask, what is the best way for me to study.? I have just a few weeks to get ready. I am not worried about any other part of the test, just the math part.

Hi guys, I'm really not intelligent when it comes to gems and minerals but heres a question. When I was a child a very long time ago I found a rock in the woods, I dug it up. Where I live it was known to have cherokees here in the past. Its fairly large about 4 inches long 2-3 inches high it varies in height and 2-3 inches wide. Its color is almost turqious(sorry if I misspelled) with gold flakes and hues of light to dark blue in it. it has a glassy shine but under a microscope it doesnt look like glass. Anyone know what it might be?

Some people on TV news say that bottled water is the same as tap water. I usually drink bottled water that I buy from the supermarket in a bundle of 48.

Once a year my water company sends out a print out of all the chemicals/minerals that are in our city tap water suppy that include;
Calcium, Sulfate, Chlorodibromomethane, Methyl-tert-Butylether, Chloroform, Bromodichloromethane, Bromoform, Bromochloromethane, Fluoride, Nitrate, Lead, Copper, Sodium, Chlorine, Asbestos, Total trihalomethanes, Haloacetic Acids, Alpha Emitters, Combined Radium.

That was the list in my tap water. Isn't that bad for people? I don't want to drink that. Is that in my bottled water? Is bottled water any better or not? Who can tell me some expert information?

It means mass of matter always remain same. what about human beings, animals and plants, they grow from a tiny cell and grow to a mass of 100 kg to many many tonnes. how about that new mass or new matter. For example a whale is created from a tiny cell ( thats the matter, having mass of few ounces) and grows to several tonnes. it is like a new matter created of several tonnes.isn't it.

Is it realistically possible to braze steel using a standard propane torch?

Have any of you brazed something like a bicycle or a bicycle trailer, that has to take a conciderable amount of abuse, using just a propane torch and the standard tip?

I have gotten metal red hot using just a propane torch and a standard tip (a tip that might be used to solder copper pipes together) , Whether that was hot enough to braze with is the question.

If propane is hot enough to braze with are there any tips you may have to reduce the amount of propane used and to strenghten the brazed area.
