Frogs aren't venomous though, they are poisonous. Venom is when something bites or stings

I reckon a snake or a jellyfish

because all the other colours in the spectrum get absorbed before they reach the ocean, so blue permiates ...better? hahah

Taken from Wikipedia...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can be fatal, though with recent medical advances, fatalities are becoming increasingly rare. As with other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE can affect any part of the body, but most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remission. Lupus can occur at any age, and is most common in women, particularly of non-European descent.[1] Lupus is treatable symptomatically, mainly with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, though there is currently no cure. However, many people with Lupus lead long and substantial lives.

Hold up, she didnt get the right answer!  However I will give it to her for trying. I dont think anyone will get it anyway.

 Its:

"Color
Main article: Color of water
A common misconception is that the oceans are blue primarily because the sky is blue. In fact, water has a very slight blue color that can only be seen in large volumes. While the sky's reflection does contribute to the blue appearance of the surface, it is not the primary cause.[7] The primary cause is the absorption by the water molecules' nuclei of red photons from the incoming light, the only known example of color in nature resulting from vibrational, rather than electronic, dynamics.[8]"

I knew the answer once but I can't quite recall it right now...it had something to do with a popular folk song of the time about a character named Jim Crow I think?

I am going to give it to you for that one. It was a blackface minstrel song called Jump Jim Crow, where Jim Crow was the typically dumb plantation Negro stereotype you find ridiculed in those songs; Singing about his Massa and the like.

Haha the term 'developing country' could be used very loosely over here! There's some constructions that looks like they've been going for years, then the developer runs out of money and it sits there, a half empty shell until someone finishes it.

Having said that though there's some pretty impressive new developments popping up on Sukhumvit atm...despite these the Baiyoke Sky Tower is still the tallest building in Thailand and as wikipedia informs me, it's the third tallest all-hotel building in the world! nerd

Should probably attempt to read it all at some point.

Recently an economic study was conducted over ten day-care centres in Haifa, Israel. The day care centres were having alot of trouble with late pick-ups of children. The first solution the economists decided on was to introduce a small fine ($3 per late pick up, added to the monthly bill). What happened when they introduced the small fine?

Need a bit more info than that Chris. Obviously not every single child at 10 day care centres was left behind. On average there were 8 late pick-ups per week, per day care centre, before the introduction of the fine. Not sure if that helps.

No. The day-care centres didn't do anything, they just tested to see how a fine for late pick-ups would effect the parents. They weren't allowed to change anything else infact to test the efficacy of the economists plan properly.

Late pick ups increased by heaps. Charging for the lateness would show that they are willing for it to occur, and more people would have done so as a result.

Always the rationalist Kurko. It served as an important lesson for the nature of guilt and incentives in economic theory. The late pick-up rate more than doubled, as parents no longer felt guilty for picking their children up late.

Yeah, it is bleeqh's turn.

The Diet of Worms, was a diet in Worms. It was a general assembly convened by the Holy Roman Emperor, in Worms (today it is part of Germany) in 1521. The important info I was looking for though is that it was a major event dealing predominantly with Martin Luther's excommunication from the church and the Protestant Reformation. The Edict of Worms was drawn up to declare, among other things, that Martin Luther was an outlaw, and that he is to be arrested and his literature banned.......Really I just brought it up to see how many people would bite at the obvious pun though.

Off topic but I always liked The Garden of Love:

I laid me down upon a bank,
Where Love lay sleeping;
I heard among the rushes dank
Weeping, weeping.

Then I went to the heath and the wild,
To the thistles and thorns of the waste;
And they told me how they were beguiled,
Driven out, and compelled to the chaste.

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

He also believed man did well to study the way of the dog. All of these things and yet he was still largely considered a great rationalist by many eminent philosophers of his day.

is it due to ice density?

or perhaps is it due to some of the inland is a national park area and they arent  allowed to?

or even that it is just to cold to "dig up", cos as soon as they do it just refreezes? so they have to get ship warmer water from mawson

I'll have to give this one I reckon because it's the closest.

It's actually a problem with the hole in the ozone layer, too many uv rays get through near the poles, so instead of these rays turning oxygen in the atmosphere into ozone (and hence not getting through to earth) they turn oxygen in the ice to ozone. Ozone is poisonous, so they can't drink it.

Mawson is far enough away that this isn't a problem.

Here's a hint. Gain is the ratio of output over input, usually a ratio of power, however it can be broken down to voltage and current.

i can't see how i am relating the question to anything.

if thats the case i guess it's not a measurement but just a relation to the raw input, so the output can float big time. will go up exponentially with tiniest lil increase of input voltage.

as i said, i don't know what you are aiming/getting at. i think i'm done.

total gain relates to the amount an amplifier can amplify. So yea a measure of efficiency.

Now think of decibels themselves, they are logarithmic.

Think of the rules of logarithms.

Finally, think of several amplifiers in series, each with their own defined gain (logs)

I got it off a website seeing as I couldn't be bothered finding the necessary symbols required on my computer. There is an answer, and 4 was quite close.

It was thrust upon us by Monarchist politician swines!

*edit* although I'm still going to find it hard to see how a recently developed residential suburb could use more resources than an industrial one like roost said...

Only have to drive through their streets to see how unresourceful they are.  No roof awnings etc, houses arent double bricked, hardly any trees in the neighbourhood providing shade, building material waste etc.

They are trying to decrease it but to no avail

Aso they are the suburb who uses the most power for residences especially in summer

Not eco-friendly that place at all. At least they use recycled water i guess

OK I was thinking of Hahndorf, which was renamed 'Ambleside'. However I know that the Government changed many German place names by law, although I reckon it was during WW1.

I have no idea what Klemzig was changed to, but my answer is that it was probably like Hahndorf, therefore wasn't changed to anything during WW2.

It is a fucking spectacular book; That said, I am reading it for the second time, fully annotated and with Stuart Gilbert's guide to Ulysses, and I am still having to let certain things go. A perfect knowledge of The Odyssey, the Bible, Irish and English history, every important author of the time (and many prior), language quirks of multiple cultures, and countless other things would make it easier. It doesn't stop the book from being brilliant, especially marvelling at his ability to completely switch writing style depending on the situation and character.

Pretty sure Heuss was a bit later, as I believe Heuss was only leader of West Germany. There was a guy who was President for about 20 days, a surprise to most people as successor, but I don't give myself much chance of remembering his name.

Yeah I wasn't sure about that answer. The only info I have shows Heuss came into presidency in 1949. I got the West Germany part though, because in West Germany they were called President (due to that being the American part or something) and in the East German part they were called Heads of State.
