Question #2:this is different to other "i want a puppy" questions. why doesn't my mum understand?okay, so we use to have a female German shepherd and a male chihuahua who were basically there for most of my life (I'm nearly 17) and we got them both put down about 4 months ago due to old age and other health condition. the chihuahua was my brothers and the shepherd was my mums first dog pretty much so she had a really close bond with her.she did obedience training and was a really beautiful well behaved dog. anyway.. i have wanted my own puppy for around 5 years and my mums excuse was 'we have dogs'. now that we don't have any dogs i would still really love to have a small dog, but i think my mum is either worried that i wont have enough time to care for it, or it will be too hard to say good bye(in the future) after our other dogs died. i have asked my mum personally, i have written her a letter, I'm pretty sure i have tried everything. i just want to know WHY my mum doesn't want one(even though it will be mine) every time i try to have a conversation with her about it, she just says "No, your not getting a dog.' i ask why and she just ignores me or says she isn't sure if she EVER wants another dog. i am a really responsible person, i have a part time job, i get good marks at school, I exercise, I said i will pay for and realise the costs involved, I'm sometimes lonely and i have figured out how much time i will be able to spend with the puppy, which is still enough. please help me with this, its really important to me, cheers =] i live in tasmania, AUUUSTRALIAAA! its really laid back, and there is no such thing as dorms! and shit. i have plenty of time at home and i dont plan on moving out for at least 5 years which is when MY dog would be trained anyway. i seriously want to take it with me everywhere (my dads, my car, camping, holidays) so my mum will never be left with it. you cant doubt my ability about this, you dont even know me. please, no more answers about patience and waiting till the time is right. Angel barbie, i just said i have a job so obviously i have some money saved up and coming in. thank you Lady Venom!! im so glad other people have had the same problem althoguh my mum loves dogs, she is pretty strict and i dont think she would like me bringing a dog home. =D Question #3:ramadhan: (86:7)what is 'Sulb" and 'taraib'?(86:7) emanating from between the loins and the ribs. *3*3 "Sulb" is the backbone and "tara'ib"the breast- bones, i.e. the ribs. Since the procreative fluid in both man and woman is discharged from that part of the body which is between the back and the breast, it is said that tnan has been created from the fluid issuing out froth between the back and the breast. This fiuid is produced even in case the hands and feet are cut off. Therefore, it is not correct to say that it issues out from the whole body of man. In fact, the principal organs of the body are its source and all these are located in the trunk. The brain has not been mentioned separately because the back-bone is that part of the brain through which connection between the body and the brain is established. (Also see Appendix I APPENDIX I (In continuation of E.N. 3 of At-Tiriq) In connection with our explanation of vv. 6-7 of Sarah At-Tariq, as given in E.N. 3, a doctor wrote to us: "I have read your explanation carefully several times but have not been able to understand it fully. As far as the practical obser¬vation is concerned, the procreative fluid is produced by the testes. The fluid then empties into the epididymis, which leads into the vas deferens immediately before the vas enters the body of the prostate gland, where it is supplied with mucus and is discharged. How it issues forth from between the backbone and the breast-bones, I have not been able to understand. However, control over it is exercised by a nervous system which is spread like a net-work between the breast-bone and the back-bone. But that too only to a certain extent; it is controlled by the mucus of another gland located in the brain. But the question here relates to its issuing forth (which can only take place through a tube). I would request for a detailed commentary of this point. I have given you this trouble (for which I hope to be excused) only because you believe in scientific knowl¬edge.— In reply to this we wrote in the issue of the Tarjuman a!- Qur'an for November, 1971: "As you are a doctor you can better understand that although different parts of the body have their own separate functions, no part can perform its function by itself but only in coordination with the other parts. No doubt, the seminal fluid is produced by the testes from where it is emitted through a particular channel. But if the stomach, liver, lungs, heart, brain, kidney, etc. are not perform¬ing their respective functions rightly, the system of the production of the seminal liquid and its emission cannot work by itself. Let us understand this by an example. Urine forms in the kidney, is emptied into the bladder, from where it is discharged through the outlet of the urinary tract. But by what process? if the organs which produce blood and circulate it throughout the body are not functioning properly, can the kidney by itself separate those elementsfrom the blood, which make up urine, and send it to the bladder ? That is why, the Quran does not say that the seminal fluid, issues from the back-bone and the breast-bones, but has said: "It tissues forth from the part of the body which is located between the two." This does not negate the fact that the production of the seminal fluid and its emission has a mechanism which functions through particular parts of the body, but it shows that this mechanism is not indepen¬dent; it performs its function in consequence of the combined work of the organism placed by Allah between the sulb (back-bone) and the tarreib (breast-bones). That is why, I have pointed out that the whole body is not involved in it, for even if the hands and feet are. cut off, this system continues to work. However, if any one organ out of the principal organs located between the backbone and the breast-bones, is eliminated, the system cannot continue its function.'" After reading the Question and the Answer, two doctors from two different places have provided some medical information which is given below: According to modern Embryology, it is an established fact that the testes in the foetus, the glands which produce seminal fluid, are located close to the kidneys between the backbone and the breast¬bones, from where they gradually descend into the scrotum later. This happens before birth and sometimes a little after it. But even then the source of their nerves and veins remains the same, i.e. between the backbone and the breast-bones. Even their artery shoots out from the aorta located close to the backbone and travers¬ing the whole stomach, supplies them with blood. Thus, in fact, the testes are a part of the back, which on account of their inability to endure the high temperature of the body, have been transferred to the scrotum. Furthermore, although the seminal fluid is produced by the testes and stored in seminal vesicles, yet its emissiom is motivated from between the backbone and the breast-bones.

Question #4:Internal bleeding, lung. Please help!?All your help/information is forever appreciated. My brother has internal bleeding on and off over the past 5 days. We believe it is in the lung. It is slow and occasional bleeding. But it seems to be getting worse. I am very concern and my parents are heart broken as we are helpless. If you have any information, know anyone, patients, medical specialist, or medical department that may help, please write to me. I thank you in advance.History: 1) 7 years ago, he was doing weight lifting and may have over exerted on the lung/air way. 2) Then on occasion, he was running to help a friend. The air was dry and he spitted out blood. 3) After that he stopped all physical exercise. 4) Then on one occasion, a few hours after partying with friends, He spitted out blood. This time was more then before. 5) I went to the hospital with him. They booked him for x-ray and scope test (down the throat). However, the test was several days after, the bleeding stopped and the test showed nothing. 6) Over the next 3 years, he took extra precaution, no exercise. However, his work required him to frequently conduct technical presentation. The talking or work stress had worsened his condition. Finally, a year ago, his company downsized, and we requested him to take the company leave package. 7) For the past year, his condition seemed to get a little better with extra precaution of minimum talking and no exercise. However, 2 months ago, he again spitted out blood after apparently talking several minutes on the phone. He was trying to organize a trip for friends. Then, 3 weeks ago, some family issues have caused him great stress and it worsen his condition. For the past 5 days, he has been bleeding small amount of blood on and off. Laying down sleeping seemed to stress his chest and cause bleeding. The bleeding seemed to be worsened by chewing and swallowing. 8) He has gone seen a doctor (in hospital) 3 days ago. The doctor performed a visual scope examination down the throat portion (above the shoulder) but found nothing. However, my brother complained of tense sensation at the throat portion. 9) The doctor recommended him to see another specialist who will perform a visual scope test into the chest area. We went to book the test. However, they told him the waiting is 2 months away. My concern is the constant bleeding that is happening now on and off. The second thing after 2 months down the road, the bleed may temporary stop bleeding and the visual scope test will not see the area of bleeding. This is what happened when he did the same scope test before, when the bleeding stopped and it does not show up. My little brother is like my parents’ star. Although, he the smallest in a family of 8, he had always been the most mature, the calmest person, the most knowledgeable, and a person with a big heart to everyone. I remember, back in school, he helped his sisters and me on school works. Without him, we would all be a grade lower. Then when my two sisters started working, when ever there is difficulty at work, they would come to my little brother for help and advice. For me, I am two years older than him and I had a difficult marriage relationship, he helped to resolve my problems. Most of the children have moved out, and he was the one looking after our parents and accompanying them to see doctors when sick. For a time, I was actually out work for a few years and my car was getting old. He came to me and said, “I will lend you $20K for a new car, no interest and not time limit”. I brother had always been very generous, after seeing natural disasters on TV he would be the first one to initiate the siblings to pool together donation money. When my second oldest brother’s two baby girls turned age 1 and 3, he said, “you know education very important and university is going to be expensive”, and he went off to help the nieces setup RESP fund and committed to paying for it every year until they are 18 age. I would never have thought of this idea. My little brother’s internal bleeding condition has hindered his lifestyle for the past 7 years. I am just very saddened to see that. I hope you and the power of the internet can spread the word of his condition and hopefully find a cure or connect him with a medical specialist can help.

Question #7:Balancing hormones while on birth control?I've recently started taking birth control again (it's been over a year since I stopped but my husband is getting annoyed with the risk) and my mood swings are *totally* out of control.I'm not certain the birth control I'm on is any good for me, as my doctor is a jerk and didn't even ask me a single question, wrote the prescription and shoved me out the door. I previously had issues with extended and very heavy bleeding due to birth control and I believe the progesterone count had to be either lowered or raised, I can't recall which. My question is: Is there anything I can do to help keep the mood swings under control? It seems that from about 30-45 minutes after taking my pill I'm either depressed, easily angered or otherwise moody, for the rest of the day. It's only been about 4 days but it's causing relationship strain to say the least. I've read in several places that exercise is helpful, but is there anything else? An extra supplement I could take, something I could eat, or another method I haven't thought of or read about? The pill I'm currently on is called Aviane if that makes any difference to anyone.

Declare arrays arrInt and arrInt2, each with ten int elements. Initialize all twenty ints to zero. 2. Fill arrInt by prompting the user to enter one element at a time; stop when a negative number (defined as <= 0) is entered (and do not put the negative number into the array). Note that not all ten int elements may be filled. 3. Fill arrInt2 with the reverse of arr. If arrInt is not filled, then arr2 should skip the zeros at the end of arrInt. For example, if arrInt is 1, 2, 5, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, then arrInt2 is 7, 5, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. 4.

The mother seems to suffer from moderate dementia, and shows traits of borderline personality disorder. The father shows signs of Borderline Personality Disorder, and severe depression. I feel that all members of the direct biologics have been affected with BPD(borderline personality disorder), 3 siblings have known addiction problems, all siblings show unstable emotional behavior, fear of abandonment, poor judgement, and lack of planning and organization. Problems seem to persist in this family due to lack of confrontation, their method of dealing with issues is simply to avoid them. I am concerned about the well being of my child, and my fiance's son while in the supervision of these people. How can i get some closure on this issue and not overly offend anyone?Dementia - Symptoms Having difficulty recalling recent events. Not recognizing familiar people and places. Having trouble finding the right words to express thoughts or name objects. Having difficulty performing calculations. Having problems planning and carrying out tasks, such as balancing a checkbook, following a recipe, or writing a letter. Having trouble exercising judgment, such as knowing what to do in an emergency. Having difficulty controlling moods or behaviors. Depression is common, and agitation or aggression may occur. Not keeping up personal care such as grooming or bathing. Some types of dementia cause key symptoms: People who have dementia with Lewy bodies often have highly detailed visual hallucinations. They may fall frequently. The first symptoms of frontotemporal dementia may be personality changes or unusual behavior. People with this condition may not express any caring for others, or they may say rude things, expose themselves, or make sexually explicit comments. Symptoms of dementia that come on suddenly suggest vascular dementia or possibly delirium-short-term confusion caused by a new or worsening illness. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER Borderline Personality Disorder - Symptoms A person with borderline personality disorder often has unstable relationships, low self-esteem, and problems with impulsive behavior, all of which begin by early adulthood. A common feature of this disorder is fear of being left alone (abandoned), even if the threat of being abandoned is not real. This fear may lead to frantic attempts to hold on to those around you and may cause you to become too dependent on others. Sometimes you may react to the fear of being abandoned by rejecting others first before they can reject you. This erratic behavior can lead to troubled relationships in every area of your life. People who are diagnosed with borderline personality disorder have at least five of the following symptoms. They may:1 Make frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Have a pattern of difficult relationships caused by alternating between extremes of intense admiration and hatred of others. Have an unstable self-image or be unsure of his or her own identity. Act impulsively in ways that are self-damaging, such as extravagant spending, frequent and unprotected sex with many partners, substance abuse, binge eating, or reckless driving. Have recurring suicidal thoughts, make repeated suicide attempts, or cause self-injury through mutilation, such as cutting or burning himself or herself. Have frequent emotional overreactions or intense mood swings, including feeling depressed, irritable, or anxious. These mood swings usually only last a few hours at a time. In rare cases, they may last a day or two. Have long-term feelings of emptiness. Have inappropriate, fierce anger or problems controlling anger. The person may often display temper tantrums or get into physical fights. Have temporary episodes of feeling suspicious of others without reason (paranoia) or losing a sense of reality. Not everyone who has five or more of these symptoms is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. For a person to be diagnosed with any personality disorder, the symptoms must be severe and must go on long enough to cause significant emotional distress or problems functioning in relationships or at work.1 You may have temporary episodes of psychosis (paranoia and a loss of a sense of reality) with borderline personality disorder, especially when you are going through a personal crisis. This psychosis usually does not last very long. But if it continues, your doctor may consider another condition, such as schizophrenia. Symptoms of borderline personality disorder are not caused by another medical condition or by medicines. And they are not a result of long-term substance abuse problems. Borderline personality disorder may be confused with other conditions with similar symptoms, such as other per i am not diagnosing anyone, i just saw the relativity in the behavior i have been exposed to with the symptoms of both disorders.

Question #18:How do you politely say "no" to letting a friend crash your place?Ok so we have a very, very important exam at 8:00 am. It is a clinical exam that we have to pass in my program in order to continue on. So there is quite a lot of pressureOne of my friends commutes from out of town and I understand it is a hassle for him to come down that early for such an important day. He asked me if he can crash my couch the night before the big test. However, I'm hesitant to say yes because: 1. I have to write this test as well. It is very important to me and I have found that I have a particular routine that I like to follow for such "big" tests. I.E. I like to go to bed early, get some exercise, eat a big breakfast. 2. I live alone in a very small apartment and I generally find that when I let friends crash my couch I don't feel as comfortable and don't sleep as well. It's just like you know you have this person (guest) there and you can't get perfectly comfortable. I just had a couple stay the weekend because they had a sports event they attended and yes it wasn't that comfortable. It was a tight squeeze. There was a bit of a mess left. 3. We are not super good friends and I sort of feel like I'm just being used because I live so close to our school. Please don't think I'm a bad person. It's just that this really is a BIG IMPORTANT event and the night before a test like that, I just like to be comfortable. Maybe review some things or sit around and relax on the tv/computer. Go to bed comfortably. When there's a guest there you sort of can't feel 100% comfortable if you understand what I mean. So how could I politely tell him no. I don't want to lie. But I don't want to come across like this stuck up person. I would be 200% OK with it if it were not such a big test where I knew I needed to be in my element the night before!! Please help!! Question #19:french letter help please!?So, basically, I'm staying with a host family in France for a week when I do my french trip. So, I have to write them a letter. Could you correct it so far?

Ma mere s'appelle Nancy et elle est 41 ans. J'ai une frere. Il sappelle Matt. Il est 12 ans aet il aime jeu video beaucoup. Aussi, jai un chat. Il s'appelle Shredder et il est noir et blach.

Aussi, j'aime ecrire et lire." That's all I have so far. What should I add/take out and any corrections? In my letter thus far, all the accents are there, I just don't know how to do that on my computer. Question #20:Am I a perfectionist? Or overachiever?I don't know... its like everything is struggling to take over my life, and I'm pulled towards all of them. I am in all the very top classes. I know I can't get good grades in math right now where I am, but I can't move down to the next class down. I don't know why, but the idea absolutely repulses me. I keep telling myself: work harder, work smarter, work more, and I keep on going and going. I feel like anything less than the very top is a failure, and in my mind its like theres no in-between.... I win everything, or I lose everything, its all or nothing, epic win or epic fail. Anything below a 98 is a failure, and even a 98 isn't as good as it could be. I run XC, play indoor soccer right now, exercise continually. I'm really sensitive- like, if I fail then I can't get over it... I won't be able to smile for hours. Today after school, I went to soccer practice, which was abs, sprints, and leg work for an hour and a half, and then I went and ran a mile and a half on an XC course, and then I went to the gym and used the treadmill and rowed for a while. There's this continual drive, and if I don't do one thing, then none of it counts. I am constantly criticizing myself and whatever I've accomplished, whatever other people are saying. People say I'm athletic, I call it plump. People say I'm smart, I think to myself, then why am I not doing well? I want to get a scholarship to a college, or go to a college on the level of MIT, major in biology or animal sciences, and go to veterinary school. And there's so much that I want to do, and I can't fit it in because my life is so busy. I obsess over the details. If the teacher says just write the single word, I'll want to write a paragraph.Does anyone else think like this? Is this overachiever or more? Am I normal? Is there something wrong? My parents do expect a lot of me, but they aren't pushing me as hard as I push myself, though that probably influenced me when I was younger. They think I have too much works, am proud of me, but I have many otehr siblings so they can't spend too much time with me. Soometimes I definitely feel like I'm underapprecciated, but not ever like I'm unloved. ** Powered by Yahoo Answers Click link above for correct copyright license. |
