What are German facial features?

According to answers.yahoo.com Germans descend from ancient Germanics, an ancient people indigenous of Scandinavia, that originated the latin name of the country, “Germania”.
The Celts, the first inhabitants of the majority of Germany, were drove on to the germanic newcomers and remained only under the Rhine and The Danube.
Ancient Romans colonized part of the country, and founded many of the more ancient cities of Germany: the people living in the lands of the medium flow of Rhinus had for many time an strong latin mark.
In the Middle Ages Slavic penetrated in the Eastern Germany. Well the germanic heritage is the common and strongest stock but they have different origins: Celts and Romans in the South and West and Slavic in the East.
German people have usually light complexion and have a high average height (5’10” or 5’11′), but they don’t always have the typical nordic features as wants his stereotyped raffiguration. Blond hair and blue or gree eye are dominant but many germans have dark hair and brown eye (naturally more in the South and West and less in the North where they are more similar to Scandinavians).

How long do flies live?

How long do flies live?

The whole life cycle from egg to adult may be completed in 8-20 days depending on ambient temperature and a new generation may be started anywhere from 2-20 days later. Under favourable conditions the eggs hatch in 8-30 hours and larval development through three instars is completed in 5-14 days. Pupation occurs over 3-10 days and the pre-oviposition period ranges from 2-23 days. So how long do flies live? Adults may live from 19-70 days. Some 10-12 generations can be completed during the warmer months. A typical life cycle in summer is depicted opposite.

The house fly, Musca domestica Linnaeus, is a well-known cosmopolitan pest of both farm and home. This species is always found in association with humans or activities of humans. It is the most common species found on hog and poultry farms, horse stables and ranches. Not only are house flies a nuisance, but they can also transport disease-causing organisms. Excessive fly populations are not only an irritant to farm workers but, when there are nearby human habitations, a public health problem could occur.

This common fly originated on the steppes of central Asia, but now occurs on all inhabited continents, in all climates from tropical to temperate, and in a variety of environments ranging from rural to urban. It is commonly associated with animal feces, but has adapted well to feeding on garbage, so it is abundant almost anywhere people live.

How does a flash drive work

How does a flash drive work?

How does a flash drive work?

How does a flash drive work?

As per thetravelinsider.com, if you’re traveling and your laptop becomes lost or broken, what would you do if you had a vital Powerpoint presentation trapped on its hard drive?

Or if you want to conveniently take some files from the office to home, work on them, and then return them? How would you do that?

Traditionally, all computers had floppy disk drives, and their 1.44MB capacity was more than enough to handle any reasonable type of file you’d ever need to transfer. These days, many new computers don’t have any floppy drive at all.

As programs and files became larger, CDroms – a technology that almost died as a non-mainstream curiosity and which Bill Gates championed – became more common and now are almost universal. CDrom writers also became more common, and transferring larger files was commonly done by burning them to a CDrom.

Various other technologies, such as Iomega’s Zip (100-250MB) and Jaz (1-2GB) drives, also briefly appeared and then disappeared again.

Flash forward to the present day. Few computers even have a floppy disk drive. While most computers have CDroms, not all have CD burners, and even though the cost of single use CDs has dropped down to less than 50c each, the technology to write onto them is cumbersome and slow. A newer technology – DVDrom – is appearing; happily DVDrom drives usually read CDroms too.

A new type of universal data storage format was/is needed. Increasingly it seems that the USB flash drive might be exactly what is now needed.

What is so special about USB Flash Drives

A USB flash drive is very simple. Basically, it is built around a memory chip. But unlike regular computer memory, which is dynamic, this is static memory. Dynamic memory needs to have a continuous flow of power to keep the information alive. Static memory does not need any power to remember the information it is holding, and it is estimated that information stored on a flash drive can last up to ten years.

Because the USB flash drive is basically just an intelligent static memory chip, it needs no battery and has no moving parts. This makes it much more convenient than any type of storage that needs power, much more robust than any sort of disk, and generally more reliable every which way.

A USB drive simply plugs into a computer’s USB port. And, yes, I do mean simply. If you’re running Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista, the operating system will automatically recognize is as another disk drive, and immediately give you full read and write access to it.

This means you don’t need to load any software to make it work. You simply plug it in, and it is automatically available to be used. What could be simpler than that? This makes the drives brilliantly simple and foolproof to use.

What are the names of tarot cards?

What are the names of tarot cards?

A common question is, “What are the names of Tarot cards?” Even though it seems to be a straight-forward thing to ask, the answer can be a little more complex. The questions itself is better slit into two different inquiries: 1) What are the names of Tarot cards in the Minor Arcana?, and 2) What are the names of Tarot cards in the Major Arcana? Together, these two sets contain all 78 cards of the commonly used tarot deck, as we are about to examine.

What are the names of Tarot cards in the Minor Arcana? This is the portion of the deck which is most closely related to regular playing cards. There are 4 suits, Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, and each suit contains 14 cards. What are the names of tarot cards in each suit? They are numbered, starting at one: Ace(one), Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten. After the tenth one, names are assigned to the last four: Page, Knight, Queen, and King. In Tarot, each suit holds special meanings which are applied to interpretation. In time, and with practice, a reader learns these individual meanings and is able to apply them to any spread, extracting answers from their placement within that layout.

What are the names of Tarot cards in the Major Arcana? There are 22 cards in this part of the deck, all different. The Major Arcana does not have suits, although different meanings may be indicated by whether the card is dealt upright, or upside down. When counted, the Fool is card 0, and the counts goes up from there, from 0-21. The Fool, The Magician, the High Priestess, The Empress, and The Emperor are the first 5 cards. After these, the next five are The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, and The Hermit. The Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, and Temperance are cards 9-15 (Remember, The Fool was card 0, not 1!). Following those, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, and The Sun are listed. And finally, the last two are Judgment (which can also be Rejuvenation), and The World. It will be important that any potential Tarot reader understand these, as their meanings are crucial to understanding the divination of such a reading.

Katherine Heiden is a professional tarot card reader and clairvoyant. Her new guide Learn Tarot Cards is a great resource for beginners and experts alike, and includes many bonus guides showing you how to take your hobby of doing tarot card readings and turn it into a career.

With the release of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in 1937, Walt Disney carved for himself an indelible place in history and in the hearts of movie lovers for more than half a century. The film was Disney’s first full length feature production, as well as the reason for his 1939 receipt of an Honorary Academy Award for significant screen innovation. Although not his first Oscar, this special award was unique in one particular respect: Disney received not just the one traditional statuette, but also seven miniature statuettes. (more…)

What are the polls for the presidential campaign?

According to wikipedia.org the United States presidential election of 2008, scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2008, will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election and will select the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. The two major parties’ candidates have not been officially chosen, but their presumptive nominees are John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona, for the Republican Party and Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, for the Democratic Party. The 2008 election is particularly notable because it is the first time in US history that two sitting senators will run against each other for president[1] and because it will be the first time an African American will be a major party presidential nominee.

The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party has nominated pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party has nominated former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate. (more…)

What zodiac signs are sexually compatible

what-zodiac-signs-are-sexually-compatibleWhat zodiac signs are sexually compatible?

Gemini is witty and can make Aries laugh which is another bonus. Gemini thinks Aries is the best looking lover they have ever had. There is great sex potential and long-term possibility. To make this one work Aries should provide Gemini lots of freedom and keep his or her sense of humor on at all times.

What signs are compatible with scorpio

what signs are compatible with scorpio?

what signs are compatible with scorpio?

What signs are compatible with scorpio?

Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces

Many things in the birth chart offer insight into compatibility and romance, and a person’s “sign” is not the only contributing factor.   I’ve provided the following list of signs which have traditionally been considered to be harmonious or inharmonious. Whether you are compatible with your same sign (for example, Aries with Aries) depends on how much you like yourself, since they’ll share many of your traits, including the undesirable ones. Whether you can get along with your opposite sign (for example, Aries with Libra) depends on whether the two of you can allow each other to be opposites, rather than insisting your partner be more like you.

Determined Scorpio can be rather stubborn and resistant to imposed changes. In many ways this is a plus, for it gives you the stamina to accomplish things in life, due to your tenacity. On the surface you may seem easy-going, congenial, and gregarious, but you are also extremely tenacious with a need to manipulate and control your situations.

Keys to your success are a strong will and the ability to get to the bottom of things. You want answers and will doggedly persist until you get them.

The fiery energy of Mars shines out when you are enthusiastic; it attracts and inspires others. Your intensity can be overwhelming, but also subtle, for your considerable energy is not aroused or employed just to have something to do — as is often the case with Aries, the other Mars-ruled personality. Unlike Aries, Scorpio is not openly combative, unless it becomes necessary. Your privacy is tightly protected, so others only get to know you up to a point. You may not show any sign of inner struggle, but when you are after something (or someone) your determination is fierce — and should you not be favoured in the outcome, you are neither a willing nor a gracious loser. Nevertheless, you are not arrogant, being genuinely interested in others and what they have to say, although you often exhibit a self-sufficiency which implies there isn’t much you don’t already know.

What are beyonce’s measurements?

Although you hear it’s 34-24-36….this is not true. These numbers came from a song that was popular in the 80′s from men and means absolutely nothing. This also depends on what you call a good shape.  J-Lo’s and Beyonce’s hips are bigger where slim and tall super models are less.

BEYONCE would have been a circus performer if she hadn’t hit the big time with DESTINY’S CHILD.

The 23-year-old beauty, renowned for her bottom-shaking, says the secret lies in her double-jointed hips and back, but her freaky talents don’t stop there.

She explains, “My back and my hips are double-jointed and I can vibrate my eyes and move my ears as well. I can do a lot of freaky things. I can do all those things at once. I’m like a circus performer.”

What are the side effects of gabapentin?

What are the side effects of gabapentin?

Gabapentin side effects, if they occur, are typically minor and easily treated. Commonly reported ones include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and problems with coordination. Some side effects of gabapentin, however, are potentially serious and may require prompt medical attention. This includes signs of an allergic reaction and significant coordination problems that do not improve with time.

Gabapentin has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the drug. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.

In these studies, the most common side effects of gabapentin included:

* Dizziness — in up to 28 percent of people
* Drowsiness — up to 21.4 percent
* Coordination problems — up to 12.5 percent
* Infections — up to 10.9 percent
* Fever — up to 10.1 percent
* Nausea or vomiting — up to 8.4 percent

What are the banks responsibility?

What are the banks responsibility?

The bank is the customer’s agent in collecting the check. Unless the check is drawn on the depositary bank, the depositary bank incurs no liability to its duped customer. One of the most basic tenets of the UCC is that “he who deals most directly with the perpetrator of a fraud is in the best position to have prevented it, and will be accountable for the loss.” Of course, if the funds have already gone “out the door,” the depositary bank MAY write off an overdraft. But that does not change the depositor’s responsibility for the item. The depository bank is responsible for notifying its customer of the dishonor of the bogus check in a notice delivered (mailed/telephoned/faxed) by the close of the business day next after the business day on which the bank learns of the dishonor.

If someone has written me a bad check my bank is in no position to tell me not to take it. Any responsibility to verfiy the authenticity of the item or the sufficiency of the funds to pay it is on me. (more…)

What ingredients are in ultra dawn soap

What ingredients are in ultra dawn soap?

What ingredients are in ultra dawn soap?

What ingredients are in ultra dawn soap?

According to ePinions, the ingredients in original Dawn are: “water, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium pareth-23, sulfate C-12-14-16, dimethyl amine oxide, SD alcohol, undeceth-9, propylene glycol, cyclohexandiamine, polyacetate, protease, fragrance, FD&C blue, no phosphate”

There are other ingredients in the product, but they are considered
proprietary information, and are held confidential:

“We introduced Dawn into a small area as a test in 1972. In 1976, Dawn
(in the original scent, clear blue color) hit stores nationwide. Dawn
has always been known for its superior grease cutting performance.

Ingredient information (other than what’s on the label) is
confidential.”

Can you wash your hair with it?

Sure you can! Look closely at the ingredient list, and you’ll see
that the basic formulation for Dawn is very similar to that of
ordinary shampoo. You’re already familiar with ingredients like
water, sodium lauryl sulfate (a surfactant), dimethlyamine oxide (a
non-ionic surfactant), SD alcohol (specially denatured alcohol, used
to make pouring easier), propylene glycol (a humectant), polyacetate
(a thickening agent, responsible for making the product feel
pleasant), fragrance and FD&C Blue from our previous discussions about
shampoo. These are all common shampoo ingredients!

What’s left? Emulsifiers and stabilizers like sodium pareth, sulfate
C12-14-16 and cyclohexandiamine, and protease (an enzyme which is
responsible for breaking down proteins and oils – this is one of the
ingredients that makes Dawn work so well for greasy dishes).

Should you wash your hair with it?

Well, that depends on what you intend to accomplish by washing your
hair with Dawn. If you’re involved in a grubby, oily job (like
working in a commercial kitchen), Dawn is just the thing for scrubbing
the day’s accumulation of grease out of your hair. I used Dawn to
wash my hair every day for three years during my sojourn in the fast
food industry – regular shampoo just wasn’t doing it for me, and one
of our grill cooks mentioned that he (and most of the rest of the
grill crew) used Dawn at the end of the day to get their hair clean.
I tried it, and found that not only was it effective, it was also
gentle. No brittleness, no breakage, and my hair was always clean,
soft and shiny. In later years, working for better restaurants, I was
amused to find that many chefs and line cooks still employed the Dawn
trick.

Is it gentle?

What’s stressful for you may be quite different from what’s stressful to your best friend, your spouse, or the person next door.

People react to stress in different ways. Once you identify your own signs of stress, they can serve as your personal early warning system.

What are the nicknames for marijuana

what are the nicknames for marijuana

What are the nicknames for marijuana?

What are the nicknames for marijuana?

There are over 200 nicknames for marijuana, including pot, herb, mary jane and chronic.

Smoking marijuana can relax a person and elevate their mood. Marijuana is usually smoked, using a pipe, a bong or by rolling a joint. Smoking marijuana can relax a person and elevate their mood. Other effects include heightened sensory awareness, euphoria, altered perceptions and feeling hungry (“the munchies”). Blunts are cigars that are emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana, sometimes in combination with other drugs. It can also be eaten in food, for example, by baking it in brownies.

The main active ingredient in marijuana is THC (delta 9 tetrhydrocannabinol). Marijuana can range from 1% THC to 8%. Hashish can be 7% to 14% THC and hash oil is up to 50% THC. THC is a fat soluble substance and can remain in the lungs and brain tissue for up to 3 weeks.

No one would argue that marijuana is as addictive as alcohol or cocaine. However, it’s wrong to say that it is not at all addictive. More and more studies are finding that marijuana has addictive properties. Both animal and human studies show physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms from marijuana, including irritability, restlessness, insomnia, nausea and intense dreams. Tolerance to marijuana also builds up rapidly. Heavy users need 8 times higher doses to get the same effects as infrequent users. For a small percentage of people who use it, marijuana can be highly addictive. It is estimated that 10% to 14% of users will become heavily dependent. More than 120,000 people in the US seek treatment for marijuana addiction every year. Because the consequences of marijuana use can be subtle and insidious, it is more difficult to recognize signs of addiction. Cultural and societal beliefs that marijuana cannot be addictive make it less likely for people to seek help or to get support for quitting.

Who is ahead in the election

who is ahead in the election

Who is ahead in the election?

Voters are having a hard time making up their minds about the presidential candidates and it is showing up in the divergent results of the horse race polls. Unlike four years ago, at this point in the campaign the national polls provide little insight as to who will win the White House in November. The latest soundings from the major independent pollsters show no clear pattern.

Gallup’s new national poll found the registered voters it surveyed this past weekend backing George W Bush over Al Gore by a 48% to 41% margin. But a Newsweek poll taken at the same time found its voters evenly split 44% to 44%. Polls taken by ABC/WP, NBC/WSJ and Time/CNN also found the candidates with about equal levels of support in surveys taken since the decisive Super Tuesday primaries. But, CBS and Marist surveys agreed with Gallup in giving Bush a small- but – significant, lead. A Pew Research Center survey disagreed with all of the above in showing Gore ahead 49% to 43%.

If history is any guide, these conflicting spring polls will mostly comport with one another in the all as Election Day nears. But for now their lack of congruence suggests that the American public is having trouble coming to an early judgement about the candidates. This was not so in the spring of 1996, when the leading survey organizations all had Bill Clinton ahead of Bob Dole by large and almost identical margins. The President’s lead was 9-14 percentage points (see chart). Clinton’s winning margin over Dole in November was a more modest 8 points, but these early polls pointed to the electorate’s decided preference for re-electing Clinton.

Poll results will vary more by survey organization when the public lacks certainty about the candidates. With no incumbent and with candidates who have strong appeal mostly to members of their own parties, there is little basis for voter conviction . And the primaries made a difference in this campaign. In 1999 voters were expressing a clear preference for George W Bush. Nationwide surveys consistently found the Texas Governor leading the Vice President by double digit margins. But this year Bush paid a price for his primary victories by losing support among Independents, who were strong backers of his opponent, John Mc-Cain. Al Gore on the other hand came out of the primaries stronger than he went in. He consolidated his support among Democrats by defeating challenger Bill Bradley, and at least for now has picked up the support of Independents who are no longer so high on George W Bush.

It is Independents whose preferences are the key to every election outcome and especially to this one. They have gone back and forth between Gore and Bush. Independents like Gore on most issues, but have doubts about his character and links to the Clinton scandals. While Bush is seen as more candid and likely to change the moral tone of Washington, many swing voters have come to dislike him personally, and there are worries about whether he is truly a compassionate conservative.

Despite their doubts and disappointment over Mc Cain’s departure from the race, there is little likelihood, that probable Reform party candidate Pat Buchanan will make many inroads with Independent voters. Recent surveys by Pew, and Gallup found only 6% of voters saying they would choose him in a three way match up. A vote for Buchanan is not even a remote possibility for most voters. Two in three say there is no way they would consider casting a ballot for the former White House speech writer, when asked by both Gallup and Pew.

Given these candidates, and barring a material change in national conditions, there is little to suggest that either Bush or Gore will become the clear frontrunner, until much later in the game, if not until Election Day itself!

Note: This is a special poll analysis by Andrew Kohut which orginally appeared on America Online Politic’s Page (April 14-16, 2000).

Who is the richest man in the world?

As the Berkshire Hathaway stock rocketed, Warren Buffett fortune swelled to an estimated $62 billion, making him the richest man in the world, pushing Carlos Slim Helu to second and Bill Gates to third richest billionaires in the world. As the stock market plays games again, the world’s rich list is changing again…

Forbes is reporting that Warren Buffett is the richest man on the planet and far ahead of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world for 13 straight years. Earlier reports had appeared in media speculating that world’s richest person was Carlos Slim Helu (now second richest) and Mukesh Ambani (now 5th richest).

Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been perhaps as rich–or richer–than Buffett had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo!

The war of Internet giants is not over yet… and Bill Gates can comeback.

Who is George Mitchell?

Former Senate Democratic leader George Mitchell, who has been probing the use of steroids in Major League Baseball, will issue his highly anticipated report Thursday, officials say.

The steroid investigation isn’t just a steroid investigation, says former Senate majority leader George Mitchell, the chief investigator into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball. And don’t think his long-awaited report will be just a review of past abuses.

“It will not just look backward to see what has happened — I hope to assist everyone in baseball to look forward in a constructive way,” Mitchell says. “To learn from the past and improve the situation and make less likely the use of these substances in the future.”

Cheaters, he contends, are getting better at cheating.

“Yes, of course, that’s part of the difficulty of the entire performance-enhancing substance situation,” Mitchell says in a rare interview. “For example, it’s commonly called a steroids investigation and when this problem first developed, steroids were used, but at least some of them remain in the body for some time and they are difficult to mask.”

Mitchell says drug manufacturers “began to develop other substances that aren’t detectable by other current testing methods. The most common one is the human growth hormone. So, of course, you’ve seen a shift to human growth hormone because it is not detectable by a urine test. (more…)

Who is the father of computers?

Charles Babbage is known as the father of computers as he was the first person to come up with the idea of a programmable computer.

Born in 1791, he was an English mathematician, and tired of the high error rate in the calculation of mathematical tables, he wanted to find a way that they could be calculated mathematically thus removing any chance of human error.

He disliked untidiness and spurred on by this and earlier work carried out on calculating machines, he first mentioned the calculating machine in a letter in 1822.

His calculating engines were not actually completed due to funding problems and personality issues, but Babbage did prove that his machines could do the job of calculating better than any human and his steam powered devices more or less did the job correctly.

Babbage’s first “difference engine” consisted of 25,000 parts and had a weight of fifteen tons. Many of his uncompleted mechanisms are now on display in the science museum and they formed the basis of what was to develop into today’s computers.
