It is more than likely far to late, but just a suggestion:

Legalization of Homosexual Marriage: Sin or Sane?

Heh, actually, that looks horrible, just ignore me.

Better than "Legalization of Gay Marriage: Cos or Sane?"

Well, I handed it in a while ago (Almost two weeks ago) and I really like that title though. Too bad I couldn't use it.

As for M. Bison, thank you very much for helping me. I couldn't post for a while as I was swamped with Philosophy but you helped me a lot. Thanks!

(Thanks for the suggestion too Shapu)

Gaahhhh. Maybe I should haven't left my homework to 2 days before I go back to school.


I tried getting Scott's help, but the gradient is what's screwing me up - I haven't dealt in letters for gradients before. And when my dad did some long (and half of it unnecessary) way of solving it.. it didn't get the answer, and I don't know where it went wrong.

Help!

Maryann: I skimmed over your question...hopefully this is right.

R = 3 log (n^2 + 10n)
12/3 = log (n^2 + 10n)
4 = log (n^2 + 10n)

Rearrange the equation. Just in case you don't remember, here's a refresher.

x^a = b
logxb = a

Since you're using log base 10...

10^4 = n^2 + 10n
0 = n^2 + 10n - 10000
n = 95.1249

Round to the next number since 95 will give you less. So your answer's 96.

Well, number 2 is fairly easy. Remember that in X-linked recessive traits, the only way to express the disease is if you have a modified X (referred to here as X+) and no normal X (meaning you have a Y chromosome or another X+)

Man is XY, and he's normal in all regards.

Mother is XX, and she has to be a carrier (her father only has one X+, and so the trait will carry over to her)
Here's the math for all of the potential children for the mother's parents, and remember than Mom must be XX.

            X           X (mom's mother)

X+           XX+      XX+
Y              XY        XY

(Mom's father)

So Mom's definitely a carrier.

So now we cross the Mother and Father in question.

              X           X+ (Mother)
X            XX         XX+

Y            XY          X+Y
(Father)

Now we know that any kids resulting from this cross will be 1/4 likely to express MD. No daughters will express it, and half of the sons will.

OK, guys. Here's the deal. I've got my final Language test tomorrow (cool, SOS ends the same time HfHN! ), and I know I won't be able to get help now, but I need help with sentence structures. I can make a good sentence, but when it comes to labeling what's what (as in indirect objects, direct objects, predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives. I can do the rest).

Also, can someone teach me the essence of learning how to diagram a sentence, and when I'll use it in life?

_________________

Direct Object: A direct object is generally used in most cases where an action verb is used, i.e.:

"DM requested help on the homework thread."

Begin with the basics: DM requested. Subject and verb. As you can see, we are using an action verb, so we'll use a direct object: help. DM requested help. on the homework thread is a prepositional phrase, and should be ignored in most instances. There are some clauses in which you must worry about prepositions, but, good rule of thumb:

Prepositional phrases are NEVER subjects, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc.

Indirect Object: An indirect object is often used when a direct object is used:

"Tested gave DM help on the homework thread."

An indirect object is a noun that the subject is doing the verb to. Never mistaken an indirect object for a direct object!

A predicate nominative restates the noun, such as:

"Tested is the world's greatest person of all time and..."

Besides being unscrupulously accurate, this is also a good example of predicate nominative. You can identify a predicate nominative with words like these:

am
is
was
were
are
etc.

These will rename the subject with a noun.

Predicate Adjective: These are almost the same as predicate nominatives, but with one big difference: they use an adjective to describe the subject, such as:

"Tested is wonderful, awesome, beautiful, and a genius!"

Which brings up another point: any of these can be compound, so you don't just have to have one.

Ok, I have to write an essay in speech form for my Welsh class and it has to be about 'whether marriage is fashionable in the twenty first century'.

Here are my problems:
Speech? Speech?! I have never made a speech - or really even been in a situation when someone is making one- and I'm listening! Is there anything in particular I should try and work in to get marks?
I myself don't care if I get married or not - my goal in life is not looking for a husband, but I don't have strong views against marriage either. AND anyway it has to be from an objective point of view, I'm not really supposed to talk about my own opinions- just why some people might think this, and others think that etc....
Plus I don't have many things to say - does anyone have any interesting points about marriage?? Please?
Thank you!

writing a persuasive essay. the topic I chose was 'artistic expression is beneficial to society' and I'm not having a whole lot of trouble finding supporting details and whatnot. problem is that I need to 'anticipate the counterargument' and I can't think of a valid counterargument to argue against. art can be controversial? I dunno. here are my first two paragraphs to give an idea of where I'm going with it (and if you feel like proofreading I guess)

thanks for any help offered

“I hope with all my heart that there will be painting in heaven” (Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot). Throughout history, art – all forms, from painting and sculpting to dance and architecture – has been a release, a passion, a subject of fascination. To be able to take what you feel or see, and translate it into something that others can see, touch, or hold, is truly a blessing. Without artistic expression, society would be bleak and cold: self-expression is as important as the air we breathe.
Through art, people can reach out. One doesn’t need to have a whole lot in common with someone else in order to share appreciation for a piece of art, or even share one’s own art. People can connect through teaching and learning experiences – even language boundaries can be crossed in visual arts. Put a pencil or a paintbrush in a child’s hand and watch them light up. Without art, all of this is lost; you deny people a way to connect, a way to show what they feel.

Well, one big thing came to mind.

1) How far can expression go? What if the art is offensive (ie that one comic making headlines now)?

i got a math question that i couldnt get":

the textbook asks me to write the following as a single fraction:

... 1 + 1
./`5 ./`3 =


the ./`means the square root of ~ because i cant find the character for radicals.

the answer is ./`3 + ./`5
............................../`15


i need to know how to get the answer.

thanks a lot for anyone that can help
