Resolved Question: Why is the west coast so much nicer than the south?

So I've been travelling the US for the last month, started in LA went to San Diego and from there all the way up to Seattle via San Francisco, Sacramento and Portland. Then did the Northeast. I'm now in the south in Mississippi, dont get me wrong the scenery is nice (apart from looking over the river and seeing a factory spewing pollution into the air) but all there seems to be down here is trailor parks, run down buildings (I know theres plenty in cities but Im talking about whole blocks of abandoned buildings here), churches, boarded up homes, morbidly obese people and strip malls. Is this just a Mississippi thing or is this what I can expect from Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas? So why do conservatives lie about how horrible the liberal parts of the country are?Actually Polly I stayed in the Tenderloin in San Francisco, near Aurora village in Seattle, Braintree just south of Boston and in Capitol Heights in Maryland. All supposedly terrible terrible areas. Didnt have any problems there more

The government’s secret society regulations code has not been used for over 50 years. It supposably disappeared within the network system in area 51. I am certain that for some reason, corporate has been secretly working on the code for some time and the head chairmen at the main source of the government plantation is planning to reverse the physical laws of society, causing world disaster. By making the public believe the regulations code was lost 50 years ago, the public has been allowed to believe they are safe. But now the government is almost complete with the reversing of the code, the world may soon see its last days. The year 2012, December 21, will be the release of the code. I have a small piece of information of what the code contains. Once it is released, it will cause a major tsunami in the west coast covering all the way to North Dakota, the second thing that will happen is the air will be poisoned with toxic fluids. Next terminators will walk the streets from New York to Arizona. The only way to survive is to get to the escape ships located in Chile of South America. The course will be set to travel to Japan where higher advanced technology escape ships are created.

Resolved Question: How well do you think my story is?

I want to have an honest opinion and changes if possible. Thanks!! :) Days 1-5 Belgium I will first travel to Brussels. It is the country capital which is located in the middle of the country. The people that live there are French, Dutch or German from what I know of. Most of the people speak German or French and that means I would have to study a little German or French. The others speak Dutch or another language. One of the famous sights that I will go to is The Grande Place. It is south west of Brussels. The sight is a building and a garden changes every two years mostly made by flowers. Some times early in the morning, salespeople sell the same flowers in the garden. That is the first place I would want to go to. The last place I would want to go to is the Centre cartophile de Bruxelles. That is the souvenir store were I can buy agricultural samples of soil, rocks, statues, etc. The life expansion for most people here is an overall of 79.22 years. For male it is 76.06 and for female it is 82.53 years. They are very healthy and live a long time from what is says. The food production is pretty low considering that permanent crops are only 0.69%. Most of the food source comes from factories and small farm owners. The natural recourses are mostly construction materials, silica sand, carbonates. The downfall to that is they will maybe soon run out of the natural resources like they did with coal. In 1830 Belgium finally gained independence from the Dutch. This country has been good so far on its own. The average person in Belgium would make around 1000 to 2000 euros or 2900 us dollars in a month. The employment is very successful. Belgium imports mainly machinery and equipment, chemicals, diamonds, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment and oil products. The exports witch is the natural resources are world wide and associate with everyone and country. When I do get there I really need to exchange my United States money for euro. That would be 68 cents of euro from one United States dollar. That would mean I would cut my money in half technically. I would have to spend about six United States dollars for a sandwich. Belgians have a couple religions and forms of Christianity. I would like to see how they worship their god and have celebrations. There are still some bad parts of Belgium but the people are making it better by the second. The country is still very rich in wealth and feeling. I would like to see how that happens when they see someone who looks, believes, acts, and talks differently than them. There are many air ports so I can get home and to think of it, it is almost like a second America but in deferent ways. I just hope I can get to a different airport on my journey into a different country, state, city and town in the 5 days given to me. more

Resolved Question: New story: would you continue you reading it?

Sorry for gramatical errors/tense confusion. Just writing as it comes to me. Ish. “Hush, hush.” The crowd continued to babble on. Did they not understand this was a matter of life or death? “The Anrogs will find us if you don’t quiet down.” A gasp silenced the room. “Ok, now listen. I don’t have enough scarves for all, so you will have to travel in groups.” Families clustered together, friends quickly getting into huddles. Then there was the odd person who stood alone. My team pushed them into groups and gave a scarf to one person in each group. “Now pay attention. One wrong fold and you will end up lost.” I held the scarf out. “Now start by holding the scarf so that the Sillox is near your left hand and Glaab in your right hand.” I watched as dozens of people did this. “Now fold Sillox into Glaab and then tuck back the corners…” I continued giving directions. Soon there were many completed maps of the land of Osinowa. I walked around the room to inspect. “Remember, if you see any Anrogs or anyone who looks suspicious, simply give the scarf a flick in the air and it will become a sheet again.” If the map was correct I released the group through the north exit and hoped they would find their way to the boarder. Once they left there was no more I could do for them then pray. Two thirds of the crowd had disintegrated and were now travelling illegally. The only way you were allowed to travel through Osinowa, or any of the nations in Rapten was with a permit. According to the government this was to stop illegal trade, but we knew that it was to stop the rebels. That is, us. Smashing could be heard from outside. Several Anrogs burst through the south door, their masks obscuring their faces. Weapons were aimed. We scattered, Rhona and I fled through the west exit. Loud bangs and screaming behind us, it took everything within me not to return and help. But I know that there is no point. I just have to continue forward. more

Resolved Question: Traveling to DC, where should I stay?

I am trying to book a hotel, and the options as far as areas are concerned are "south of the mall" or "rosslyn" and the pricier "dupont circle". Ive never been to Washington DC, and my friend and I are going to just to the tourist stuff this time, mainly sight see and go to the museums, particularly the 'spy museum', 'air and space' and of course the capital, white house, and lincoln memorial. I need a place that isn't too dangerous as far as locale is concerned, and I want to be within walking or subway distance to those sites. Maybe close to a bar or two as well! From google maps, it seems to me that "south of the mall" is closest. It shows an area drawn out in a block just south of "the national mall" southwards to buzzards point, just past banneker park, eastward to garfield park. entire area is west of patomic park.

Resolved Question: What is the plot, climax, and setting of this story?

Dorothy is a young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and little dog Toto. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy inside, is caught up in a tornado and deposited in a field in the country of the Munchkins. The falling house kills the Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy the shoes that the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald City" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her. On her way down the road paved with yellow brick to the Emerald City, Dorothy frees the Scarecrow from the pole he is hanging on, restores the movements of the rusted Tin Woodman with an oilcan, and encourages the Cowardly Lion to journey with her and Toto to the Emerald City. The Scarecrow wants to get a brain, the Tin Woodman a heart, and the Cowardly Lion, courage. All are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help them too. Together, they overcome obstacles on the way. When the group arrives at the Emerald City, the Guardian of the Gates provides them with special green spectacles that will keep the brilliance of the Emerald City from blinding them. When each traveler meets with the Wizard, he appears each time as someone or something different. To Dorothy, the Wizard is a giant head; the Scarecrow sees a beautiful woman; the Tin Woodman sees a ravenous beast; the Cowardly Lion sees a ball of fire. The Wizard agrees to help each of them, but one of them must kill the Wicked Witch of the West who rules over the Winkie Country. As the friends travel across the Winkie Country, the Wicked Witch sends wolves, crows, bees, and then her Winkie soldiers to attack them but they manage to get past them all. Then, using the power of the Golden Cap, the Witch summons the Winged Monkeys to capture all of the travelers. When the Wicked Witch gains one of Dorothy's silver shoes by trickery, Dorothy in anger grabs a bucket of water and throws it on the Wicked Witch, who begins to melt. The Winkies rejoice at being freed of the witch's tyranny, and they help to reassemble the Scarecrow and the Tin Man. The Winkies love the Tin Woodman and they ask him to become their ruler, which he agrees to do after helping Dorothy return to Kansas. Dorothy uses the Golden Cap to summon the Winged Monkeys to carry her and her companions back to the Emerald City, and the King tells how they were bound by an enchantment to the cap by Gayelette. When Dorothy and her friends meet the Wizard of Oz again, he tries to put them off. Toto accidentally tips over a screen in a corner of the throne room, revealing an old man who had journeyed to Oz from Omaha long ago in a hot air balloon. The Wizard persuades the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion that what they lack are not brains or a heart or courage, but faith in themselves. In order to help Dorothy and Toto get home, the Wizard realizes that he will have to take them home with him in a new balloon, which he and Dorothy fashion from green silk. Revealing himself to the people of the Emerald City one last time, the Wizard appoints the Scarecrow, by virtue of his brains, to rule in his stead. Dorothy chases Toto after he runs after a kitten in the crowd, and before she can make it back to the balloon, the ropes break, leaving the Wizard to rise and float away alone. Dorothy turns to the Winged Monkeys to carry her and Toto home, but they cannot cross the desert surrounding Oz. The Soldier with the Green Whiskers advises that Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, may be able to send Dorothy and Toto home. They, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion journey to Glinda's palace in the Quadling Country. Together they escape the Fighting Trees, dodge the Hammer-Heads, and tread carefully through the China Country. The Cowardly Lion kills a giant spider, who is terrorizing the animals in a forest, and he agrees to return there to rule them after Dorothy returns to Kansas--the biggest of the tigers ruling in his stead as before. Dorothy uses her third wish to fly over the Hammer-Heads' mountain. At Glinda's palace, the travelers are greeted warmly, and it is revealed by Glinda that Dorothy had the power to go home all along. The Silver Shoes she wears can take her anywhere she wishes to go. She tearfully embraces her friends, all of whom will be returned, through Glinda's use of the Golden Cap, to their respective sovereignties: the Scarecrow to the Emerald City, the Tin Woodman to the Winkie Country, and the Cowardly Lion to the forest. Then she will give the Cap to the king of the Winged Monkeys, so they will never be under its spell again. Dorothy and Toto return to Kansas and a joyful family reunion. The Silver Shoes are lost during Dorothy's flight and never seen again.and.. Good Moral Per Favore... more

Resolved Question: could someone xplain this to me in the easyist way possible i dont understand it it some thing about mancheste?

As part of the Government's 'The Future of Air Transport' White Paper, Manchester Airport published its master plan on its future expansion up until 2030. Demolition of older buildings, such as old storage buildings, the old Alpha Catering Building and Males Garage, to the east of Terminal 3 has already begun. This is to make way for a new apron and taxiway towards runway 23R/05L, and an eastwards extension of Terminal 3, which is planned to provide an extra fifteen covered stands. A full length parallel taxiway may also be added to the second runway and more crossing points added across the first runway to improve ground movements of aircraft. Passenger flow on Terminal 1's gating piers is due to be realigned, with plans to redesign the piers such that departures and arrivals do not contraflow on the same level, allowing for larger seating areas at the gates, express retail outlets and a dedicated lounge and gating area for future Airbus A380 flights. An early phase of which has seen the removal of the South Bay remote aircraft stands, constructed in 1962, and situated between taxiways Juliet and Kilo and as a consequence the more recent re-alinement of taxiway Juliet into an extended taxiway Bravo. Terminal 2 is due to receive a major extension, to encompass current remote stands to the west. A satellite terminal is also projected for Terminal 2. Between twelve and fifteen covered aircraft stands will be made available by this. An airside link for transferring passengers between Terminals 1 & 2 is at the planning stage, designed in an effort to boost Manchester's chances of becoming a major hub airport and minimise potential missed connections. There is uncertainty as to whether this link should provide extra stands for the two terminals, or merely exist as a transfer corridor. All existing terminals are undergoing a retail and airport security refurbishment programme, with Terminals 1 and 3 due to be complete by spring 2009, and Terminal 2 by autumn 2009. The security control areas have undergone upgrades of new X-ray machines and passenger authenticity control systems, which will ensure a higher and faster passenger throughput, whilst improving the already elevated levels of security at the airport. The new security control areas are now in operation in Terminals 1 & 2. Terminal 3 acquired an extra security control area in November 2007, located near check-in zone C. This was initially dedicated to passengers travelling to CTA destinations. In January 2008, the usage was extended to all Terminal 3 passengers, with the exception of those destined for Frankfurt, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Brussels. This new security control area is now used for all departures out of Terminal 3; the old security area has now closed and is being de-commissioned. The current fire station on the north of the airfield is becoming outdated and expensive to maintain and is also in the way of future apron and taxiway developments, so it is also stated that this may be demolished and a new facility built close to the original fire station site.[citation needed] A third runway and a Terminal 4 may also be developed, however any such expansion would be subject to a major public inquiry, and neither is currently accounted for in the airport's plans to 2015.[citation needed] The taxiways are undergoing a phased renewal programme. Work on taxiway Alpha has recently been completed, and runway crossing point Delta Zulu is being resurfaced. The 'South Bay' stands at the end of B Pier recently closed to make way for a realigning of part of taxiway Juliet to allow the accommodation of the Airbus A380. The work also fits in with the airfield's future taxiway strategy.[citation needed] On 27 April 2008, it was announced that the Manchester Airports Group, which owns Manchester Airport together with the regional airports at East Midlands and Bournemouth, plans to sell its majority stake of 87% in the smaller Humberside Airport, which it has run since 1999. The money raised from the sale will go into developments and expansion at its other airports, a large proportion of which will most probably be used to fund the above expansion of Manchester.[36] On 17 September 2008, it was announced that BAA were to sell London Gatwick Airport ahead of the Competition Commission possibly forcing the sale following their main report due in 2009. The airport is estimated to be worth around £1.8billion.[37] Manchester Airports Group are believed to be one of the interested parties. Should such a bid be tabled and accepted, it would create a business which would rival the current BAA domination of the United Kingdom's airport infrastructure.[37] The Asian carrier Royal Brunei Airlines has expressed an interest in commencing 4 flights per-week to the Brunei capital Bandar Seri Begawan from Manchester in its plan to expand operations throughout the UK. expain all that soo i understand it lol more

Resolved Question: Antarctic warming claim ..... Busted?

"This letter below, reprinted with permission, is from Ross Hays. Ross was a CNN meteorologist for many years. He works for NASA at the Columbia Balloon Facility. He obviously can’t speak for his agency but can have an opinion which he shared with several people. It is printed below in entirety, exactly as he sent it to Eric Steig today, the lead author of the University of Washington paper highlighted in a press release yesterday that claims there is a warming in Antarctica. There were some of the pronouncements made in the media, particularly to the Associated Press by Dr. Michael Mann, that marry that paper with “global warming”, even though no such claim was made in the press release about the scientific paper itself. Eric, Let me first say that this is my own opinion and does not represent the agency I work for. I feel your study is absolutely wrong. There are very few stations in Antarctica to begin with and only a hand full with 50 years of data. Satellite data is just approaching thirty years of available information. In my experience as a day to day forecaster that has to travel and do field work in Antarctica the summer seasons have been getting colder We launch balloons into the stratosphere and the anticyclone that develops over the South Pole has been displaced and slow to establish itself over the past five seasons. The pattern in the troposphere has reflected this trend with more maritime (warmer) air around the Antarctic Peninsula which is also where most of the automated weather stations are located for West Antarctica which will give you the average warmer readings and skew the data for all of West Antarctica. With statistics you can make numbers go to almost any conclusion you want. It saddens me to see members of the scientific community do this for media coverage."

Resolved Question: can someone please summarise this article about volcanoes?

Recreation Area in northern California arrived on the Big Island yesterday to help put out fires that might be ignited by new lava flows. Late Monday or early Tuesday lava broke through the ground in the rainforest northeast of Kane Nui o Hamo. Park officials are making plans to fight any lava-caused fires to protect the forest. If the lava flow does resume in the upper East Rift area near Kane Nui o Hamo, it would almost surely ignite fires that would consume pristine forest in the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park's 2,500-acre East Rift Rainforest Special Ecological Area. That area is considered so valuable it was fenced to protect it from invasive pigs. It provides habitat for the endangered 'io, or Hawaiian hawk, and rare plants, including Hawaiian lobeliads, mints, jewel orchids and the endangered kihi fern. Meanwhile, park officials reopened the closed portion of Crater Rim Drive and Kilauea summit trails yesterday after sulfur dioxide emissions from Kilauea's summit caldera dropped back down to background levels. However, parks officials reminded visitors that air quality in the area can change quickly, and advised motorists traveling along Crater Rim Drive near the South West Rift to close their windows and set their air conditioning to recirculate air within their vehicles. Officials also advised motorists to stay in their vehicles except at designated pull-outs. Chain of Craters Road, Hilina Pali Road and Pu'u 'O'o remained closed, as did the park's eastern boundary near Kalapana. Much of the park is still open, including the Kilauea Visitor Center, Jaggar Museum, Thurston Lava Tube, Volcano House Hotel, Kilauea Military Camp and Volcano Art Center Gallery. The most recent Kilauea rumblings began Sunday with a commotion of earthquakes and magma movement, and appeared to be ending the week with an eruption interruption. U.S. Geological Survey scientists say the eruption at Pu'u 'O'o has officially "paused," with the daily flow of more than 250,000 cubic yards magma somehow cut off or diverted from what had been the focus of the eruption. Without that magma coursing through it and on to the sea, the Pu'u 'O'o crater rapidly collapsed into itself. Volcanic gasses and smoke billowed out of three new cracks in the upper East Rift zone, which appeared to be swelling with magma, but the only new lava flow was a small breakout late Monday or early Tuesday along one of the cracks in the rainforest northeast of Kane Nui o Hamo. That flow didn't even last through Tuesday morning, and scientists are unwilling to venture a guess as to what Kilauea will do next, or when. Earthquake activity and the tremor associated with magma movement decreased to a murmur late this week. "It's fairly quiet. The tremor levels up at the summit are just slightly above background (levels) still, but they're going down," while tremors on the East Rift that were the focus of activity this week dropped to below normal levels, said David Wilson, seismic network manager for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Experts at the observatory have seen dozens of days-long pauses since the current eruption started in 1983. In some cases, such as in 1997, the eruption picked up where it left off, sending lava streaming back toward the ocean from Pu'u 'O'o. In other cases, periods of quiet at Kilauea were followed by dramatic changes. One example was in 1992, when the Kupa'ianaha vent went silent for 10 days, and the eruption abruptly shifted to Pu'u more

Resolved Question: I need help on Physics Momentum problems.?

1. The glider on an air track has a mass of 1.00 kg and floats on compressed air, so it can move frictionlessly. Someone shoots a 23.0 g lump of clay at it. The clay strikes the glider, sticks to it, and both move away with a speed of 22.0 cm/s. What was the speed of the clay as it hit the glider? (Speed in m/s) 2. A skater with a mass of 85 kg is traveling east at 5.4 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south of west at 15 m/s. If they stay tangled together, what is their final velocity (magnitude in m/s)? Direction (in degrees)? Please provide an answer along with an explanation. more

Resolved Question: Can I please get some help???!!! I don't get this I Ireally need help???!!!!!!!!?

1) In the javelin throw at a track and field event, the javelin is launched at a speed of 33 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. As the javelin travels upward, its velocity points above the horizontal at an angle that decreases as time passes. How much time is required for the angle to be reduced from 30° at launch to 19°? 2) The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 64° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 16 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed? 3) At some airports there are speedramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speedramp is a moving conveyor belt that you can either stand or walk on. Suppose a speedramp has a length of 150 m and is moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 75 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speedramp that you walk with respect to the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 150 m using the speedramp? 4) A bullet is fired from a rifle that is held 1.3 m above the ground in a horizontal position. The initial speed of the bullet is 1480 m/s. Find time it takes to hit the ground and the horizintal disatance between gun and bulls eye. 5) A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.30 km due east, 0.65 km due south, and 2.90 km in a direction 30.0° north of west. The time required for this trip is 3.50 h. Determine the magnitude and direction (relative to due west) of the bird watcher's more
