Question #1:

Open! Very Important! Do you support Israel's attack on Gaza?

Safa Joudeh is a journalist and resident in Gaza.

READ THE WHOLE THING IT IS SOO WORTH IT!

Now is the time to fight, from Safa Joudeh in Gaza:

Last night (January 3rd), we realized that if there is any truth to Israeli WAR minister, Ehud Barak’s words, its that this invasion will be a long one. At approximately 9:15 pm local time Israeli Forces entered the strip from 3 Locations. From the east of Gaza city and the northern town of Jabalia and Beit Lahia, tanks rolled into the Palestinian residential areas while Israeli F16 created a cover from the sky. At the same time, Israeli tanks and infantry troops entered Rafah from the south east, while tanks shelling and artillery fire rained on the Mintar area of Gaza city. Israeli warships were simultaneously barraging Gaza city from the sea. The entire strip was surrounded and being heavily pounded by Israeli missiles and artillery fire.

Many people were not even aware that the invasion had begun, thinking the whole time that Israel had intensified its air raids. The city of Gaza has been without power for a few days now and radio batteries were running out. Almost all the residents of Gaza city have been confined to their homes for over a week and all of the stores have been closed. People rely mostly on word of mouth to get the news, a very small few are lucky enough to have generators and leftover fuel.


These attacks, this war is being waged against an unarmed civilian population at the most desperate and bleak time of times. Israel has been systematically and indiscriminately using its most advanced of military capabilities against a defenseless population, 3 quarters of which is women and children for 8 days prior to the invasion. People are weak, physically and morally, and dealing with a great amount of loss and frustration. This is to speak nothing of the 18 month siege that Gaza is currently barely able to hold up under.

For the past few days we have seen over ten mosques, holy places of worship, bombed, frequently while people were praying inside. We have seen children being pulled out from under the rubble looking like there was not a single bone unbroken in their small bodies. We have seen hospitals overflowing with bloody corpses and people taking their last breaths. We have seen friends on television being resuscitated at sites of Israeli air raids. We have seen entire families swept of the face of the earth in one blow, and we have seen our streets, homes, neighborhoods become unrecognizable ruins from the amount of destruction.

And yet Israel continues to blatantly and insistently affirm that the offensive is not aimed at the civilians and that its war is against political and military wings of Hamas. Meanwhile we, the people of Gaza, are collectively experiencing a kind of terror and violence no human being should ever endure One almost begins to suspect that the Israeli WAR forces are acting on a delusion that they created and that they have come to believe. Otherwise, they would have expected what would happen during their invasion of the Strip. Then again, it came as a surprise (a pleasant one) even to us, and that, should we have been in a right state of mind, we would have undoubtedly anticipated

Israel has come into our homes, is fighting us in our streets and is expressing its brutality against us in full force. How do we react?

All Palestinian factions have united and are out facing the enemy, using all the military capabilities that they collectively have. Although these capabilities are incomparable to the military strength exerted by Israel, yet it has made us more certain than ever that Palestinians will fight to the very end to protect their own. It has shown us that resistance, courage and love are an integral part of the Palestinian identity that will never change despite all the hardships we endure. It has given us a moral boost, which comes at a time when we need it most.

The Abu Ali Mustafa brigades, of The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Alquds brigades of the Islamic Jihad movement. The Alqassam brigades of the Hamas movement. The Salah el Din Brigades of the Popular Resistance Committees, Al Aqsa Martyrs brigades of Fatah, all have come together as one united front and at a high, almost affirmed risk of peril are out protecting our streets and our homes, all ready to die if that means preventing the death of one more helpless child. We are united and we have accepted our fate recurrently, but Gaza’s almost 80% refugees will NOT be massacred and displaced yet again by people from the outside guided by tyranny and greed.

There are estimations out there as to the collective count of the united military resistance fighters from the Palestinian factions, the number is thought to be a few thousand. The Israeli troops within and around Gaza at this moment are approximately 33 thousand, with more reservists being called in within the next day. The disparity is not only in troop nu

Question #2:

where can i download media generators for sony vegas 8?

when i click on the media generator tab only prototype titler is in there and i know your supposed to have loads including text so does anyone know where i can download the media generators?

Question #3:

how do you make a mechanical fan that uses a square wave generator ?

please post the full details or a website,,, and where is the location of a circuit in a fan? where do you apply the schmitt trigger? i really need it,, if you could say the full details,, please do so,,

Question #4:

power plant question?

if power plants burn coal to create steam that turns generators to make electricity, why can't they boil water on huge heating grids? that makes steam too.

Question #5:

Fallout 3 "You Gotta Shoot 'Em In the Head"?

how do i unlock this quest? i've did the "tenpenny tower" quest and i let the feral ghouls in threw the metro access and generator place but for sum reason it wont let me talk 2 roy phillips so i cant get the mission from him.. did i do something wrong? or am i suppost 2 wait?
thanks

Question #6:

When a generator produces electricity?

A generator produces electricity

a. whenever a wire cuts through a magnetic field.
b. when the voltage is as high as the amps.
c. when two opposite poles of a magnet come together.

Plz explain your answer!

Question #7:

WHAT ARE THE QUICKEST WAYS TO INSTALL POWER GENERATORS TO MEET ACUTE SHORTAGE OIF ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN ?

Paskistan has come to a standstill. The country has acute shortage of electric power. India stopped rivers water to Pakistan because it occupies Kashmir. So the hydel power generation of electricity has gone down to a minimum level. Gas too is very short in Pakistan which was used to run power generation system. People are suffering badly throughout Pakistan. The rich and the government bureaucrats and the political leaders and assembly members are not affected by shortage because they have their own private power generators in their homes. What can you suggest to install new power generators immediately in Pakistan. Pleeeeeeease help.

Question #8:

Restating a previous probability question. What are the odds...?

Suppose you have a random number generator which ranges from 1 to 100. Once a number is picked, it is not eliminated, so on any given choice, each number has a 1/100 chance of being chosen.

First, how many picks would be expected to reach a point where 95% of the numbers have been picked at least once?

Second, what are the odds that any given number will have been chosen once and *only* once?

Will these odds be any different if the generator can pick numbers from 1 to 1 billion?
Darn it, Bob, I meant to include a message to you, not to spend more than 12 hours answering this. Geez, with the time you spend answering my questions, I feel I should be paying you. I hope this stuff isn't wrecking your marriage!

Between your answer and Jimmykariznov, I did get an education and found that my gut estimates of the first two answers were very near the mark. But your answers about the larger number of picks, although different, both pointed out something I would NEVER have suspected: that there is only a slight difference. I thought they would either be identical or there would be a *huge* difference. Thank you so much, both of you. I must make sure to use this information in the forum any time it is applicable.
Ultraviolet, I have found that whenever Dr. Bob has answered a question by the time I see it, there is really no point in answering it. I just look forward to reading his answers and HOPE I can understand enough to learn something from them.

Question #9:

How many ideas were stolen from "The Twilight Zone"?

Geez, I watched the TZ marathon and see plots and ideas that were later used by "Star Trek" (food generators, transporters and such) and the movie 'Unforgiven" (the old gunslinger trying to get his groove back by shooting, and missing, at cans).

Question #10:

Is is possible to have a generator connected to a home that has an electric heat pump?

I am about to sell my house and move into a townhouse. The bills including electric are cheap. It is an awesome place to live from what I can see. However since the entire complex has electric for heat (heat pumps) I was wondering is there a was to put a generator in just in case I lose power? Especially during the winter time. Last month, some parts of New England got hit with an ice storm and did not have power for several days.

Question #11:

What device measures an electrical generator's output?

Question #12:

What device measures an electrical generator's output in units of energy?

Question #13:

What device measures an electrical generator's output in units of energy (watt/hours, joules)?

Question #14:

Do you add songs (entire albums) you hate for artists you like?

I mean, I'm a huge fan of alt. rock, like Led Zeppelin (Lemon Song), RHCP (Death of a Martian), Foo Fighters(Generator), Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Strokes, etc. but I feel adding every song by them on an album is a waste. Question: Should I add only songs by them I like?
ALSO, do you add only one songs by artists? Like I have one Christina Aguilara song(Lady Marmalade), but it seems pointless to have to me if i think about it
My iPod holds 8 gb.

Question #15:

Another generator question?

Hello, I posted a question on here a couple of days ago and received some great answers. My question was regarding generators since I dont know anything about them. Anyway I am going to get a job at a mine outside of Elko Nv and it is freezing up there. I am going to drive up from reno and work 4 days per week. I am going to be living in the bed of my truck with a camper cover on the back. I have done my research on generators and I came across solar powered generators. II would build one for 3-500 bones. i would be using it for a lamp, dvd player, tv, a heater once in a while, charging a cell phone...things like that. The heater I would only run something so dont worry. Anyway, my question is...has anyone had any experience with these generators? How hard are they to maintain? Do they provide an ample amount of energy for living semi comfortable in the bed of my truck? please help. thanks.

Question #16:

Generator- snow buildup around air intake, ice on bottom of air filter- Should I be concerned?

I have snow buildup around the air intake of my generator due to a mild snow storm. I checked the air filter 2 hours into the storm and found the very bottom of the air filter was filled with ice. Most of the air filter was dry. Could serious damage be caused to the generator engine due to this?

I imagine worst case scenario some water would be pulled into the air intake and any impurities in the water would end up in the cylinder. I'm guessing any that land on the top of the cylinder or above the piston ring would not be removed by oil detergents but these are all guesses...

If anyone with engine experience can give me some insight I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.
Only problem with clearing snow away is that more is falling (one of the disadvantages of snow storms). I clear it away every hour or so but clearing each flake isn't practical.

Question #17:

Simple Easy Question! ?

I want to know what this short paragraph is trying to say:

" A typical average plant load factor for tidal energy generators is about 27%. Load factor defines the amount of actual power output expected from a given capacity. Installed generating capacity of 100 MW with a load factor of 27% would produce only 27 MW per hour when averaged over a given time, usually a year. "

Is it saying that;
a) An average tidal energy generator produces 27 % electricity
b) An average tidal energy genertor SITE produces 27 % electricity

Does this mean it produces 27% per year ?

Question #18:

I want a cute creative name for my myspace?

My name is Meagan Lynn..

I use the fancy name generators.. but I want something neww and different.
