What you mean by stem cell culture?
Stem cell culture refers to the process of growing and maintaining stem cells in a laboratory setting. This involves providing the necessary conditions, such as specific growth factors and nutrients, to support the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Stem cell culture is essential for research, drug development, and regenerative medicine applications.
What does effecting a running change mean?

Running changes are typically made to address issues, improve quality, or enhance functionality without disrupting operations.
Should the government fund stem cell research?
This is a great question, but ouch! This is a hot topic and some people are for it and some are not. People as a whole need to do more research on the matter as I have and found that some people think scientists are killing fetus'. They use the after birth as well and the umbilical cord. One can't make a genuine decision when it would help so many people with MS, etc., without knowledge. If science can keep it's moral standards up then there is no reason the government shouldn't dip into their over abundance of money in their coffers and fund stem cell, BUT organizations should also take up the beat and not put the heavy load on the government alone.
AnswerAlthough some people are for stem-cell research and some are against it that has nothing to do with whether or not the government should fund it. If there were advances to be made the private sector would be pouring money into research. Not to mention that the role of the government is not for funding this type of thing. The founding fathers are probably turning around in their graves. Government is getting way too big. They should run the military, the highway system etc.How does the Internet impact people's lives?
The Internet, the world´s largest representative electronic network, is part of the panorama of the new information and communications technologies, interacting with social practices and with the very historical evolution of complex societies.
According to Computer Industry Almanac Inc., more than 625 million computers are used worldwide, including some 182 million in the United States. A study done in 2000 by that same company reported that more than 400 million people across the globe use the Internet, up from a mere 3 million in 1994. That number could reach 1 billion by 2005

Why does it matter if Obama is Black or not?
It doesn't matter if he's black. It matters how well his job is done.
However, since we do not live in a color-blind society, some people may attribute some of his decisions to his ethnicity, while others have attributed the fact that he won the election to his being black.
He is also the first Black President of the United States. Many Black people view this as a greater step towards equality.
== == == == The following answer is provided by someone who does not have bipolar. People with bipolar are people and they're all different. Some do fine without meds.
from below .. "If she suddenly becomes super happy one moment and then flies into rages or becomes extremely depressed" sorry, it doesn't work like that. --
If this woman is not seeking therapy or on medication I am sorry to say that you are in for the ride of your life if she doesn't follow doctor's orders. SHE MUST take her medications according to doctor's instructions and if she does she should just be fine and the only problems you both should have are normal ones. If she persists on not taking medications or playing around with her dosage without seeing her doctor then don't be afraid to talk to her and tell her to smarten-up. 75% of people that are on some type of medication don't listen to their doctor and don't work with their doctor to adjust dosages and they will often quit the medication (some medications shouldn't be dramatically stopped) or adjust the dosage themselves as they see fit. Go into this relationship with eyes wide open and if you are committed to her then realize you need to communicate well. If she suddenly becomes super happy one moment and then flies into rages or becomes extremely depressed you know something is up and she is either not taking her medications or the dose needs to be adjusted. DON'T BE AFRAID to suggest this to her! If she isn't willing to work with her doctor or look after herself then you are going to have make a decision as to whether you want to stay in a relationship with her. People who suffer from brain chemistry disorders are not abnormal people and with some understand re bi-polar there is no reason you couldn't have a good relationship together. Some people feel being on especially a medication for a condition of the brain such as depression (includes bi-polar) etc., is a weakness and it is no different than having diabetes or some other illness. Not so long ago (and even today it can happen) people often will look their nose down at a person with a mental condition. It's sad because the person looking their nose down at the person is ignorant and knows little about this mental condition and it hurts the person that has it. Thus, they feel different and don't always feel they are like anyone else. If all of us were honest in ourselves we each have a flaw in our personality that could possibly need correcting by a therapist or even in some cases medications. There are many people walking around in society that don't even know they are depressed. Although I didn't suffer from bi-polar (can be genetic) I did suffer from panic attacks and Agoraphobia years ago. I had gone through a bad divorce, was working hard, remarried a few years later to a wonderful man and then my father suffered a debilitating stroke. I basically burned the candle at both ends. At this time when I got the panic attacks little was known about it and I had to leave my job (couldn't cope.) The company I worked for was wonderful and gave me full pay for the whole year, but I had to be fair about it and I gave up my job. It devastated me. To make a long story short, I did eventually find a doctor that knew all about panic attacks, was put on an antidepressant and I've been fine ever since. I no longer have to be on antidepressants because while I was on them I also took counseling and learned "Cognitive Therapy" techniques as tool to deal with stress. I now eat well, exercise and fill my head with more up-lifting things and so when the rotten things in life hit me between the eyes I can handle it and I'm a much stronger person today than I was before. For those that couldn't understand my illness I knew within myself I was a good person, strong in spirit, prayed every night and I can tell you honestly that I didn't get well alone, but faith in God got me through it. I do believe in miracles! I was lucky to have support from family and friends and one wonderful husband, but I too worked hard to get better. I feel I have much more empathy towards people and can understand their problems and have more patience when they aren't always kind to me. I think you should give this relationship a shot. Talk to her about it. Go on the computer and ask about bi-polar because I believe when you learn about something then it's not such a mystery and so frightening. Good luck
Why are some people nasty to people with disabilities?
It is certainly not at all funny to tell jokes about those with Down Syndrome and other special needs. How would you like it if people made fun of you for a medical condition that you can't help? People with Down Syndrome or other forms of mental retardation can be very loving, wonderful people and should be treated with as much respect as anyone else.
What would they do if slaves refused food?
Slaves who refused food could face punishment such as physical beatings or other forms of abuse to force compliance or submission. They could also be subjected to harsher working conditions or further deprivation as a means of control.
What are some opinions about if Barack Obama is a bad person?
First, this question calls for a moral judgment, which we are in no position to make. None of us is qualified to say whether President Obama is a bad person-- to our knowledge, he has broken no laws and despite the usual talk radio political accusations, he has committed no crimes. He loves his family, he gives to charity, he is good to his friends, etc. Thus, it is not accurate to say he is a bad person. But if you are asking whether President Obama is a bad president, certainly his political enemies, and the people who did not vote for him would say he has done a bad job. What follows are some answers from other users about whether he has done a bad job, and whether he is a bad person.
Some opinions:
Regardless of how you think he is at being President, there is absolutely no reason to believe that he is a bad person. He comes off as a very good person to most of America. He treats his family with respect and seems to care deeply for them. He shows concern for those who struggle and are impoverished. He stands up for the American people and is working to better protect the middle class from carrying the full load in the current economy.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize which is given to people who have done extraordinarily good things. The prize is awarded under strict criteria and with very accomplished other nominees considered at the same time. He obviously came out on top with experts believing he is a good person. The prize is awarded to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The Nobel Peace Prize is sometimes called "the world's most prestigious prize."
He has done very good things for America during his term in office. See the related question below for a list of accomplishments and determine for yourself how he is at being President. Everyone needs to find out the facts and think for themselves, do not go by hearsay, myth and hyperbole, research for yourself.
His political work as President is also considered very good by the majority of Americans. He currently, in early 2013, has an exceptionally high rating by the American people in the polls. He won re-election showing that the people were behind what he had been doing and believe that he is a good president. His approval rating is much higher than most recent presidents came close to achieving, currently at 55% approval.
How do you make an interesting conversation with a person?

What percentage of eligible voters voted in the 2010 election?
According to the Washington Post, "Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006." (It should be noted that even though there was a slightly larger turnout than in 2006, about 58% of voters stayed home.) Also, according to most polls, the makeup of the electorate this time was different: there was a large "enthusiasm gap," such that Republicans voted in larger percentages than Democrats did; also, younger voters decreased, as did minority voters; and older voters, as well as white voters, came out in larger numbers than in 2008.
82.5 million people voted, many of whom were spurred by anger over the lingering recession. But it is worth noting that this number was far fewer than the more than 131 million people who voted in the presidential election of 2008-- generally, presidential elections bring out a much greater number of voters than midterm elections do.
What percent of Obama's voters were black?
In the 2012 presidential election, approximately 93% of black voters supported Barack Obama.
How many representatives are elected from each legislative district?
The House of Representatives consists of a number of representatives that, for each district, can have a varying number. The whole House currently has a set member number of 435, but the census determines the size each state holds in that representation.
Who controls the discipline of practicing lawyers?
The states also control discipline once lawyers are admitted to practice. Complaints from clients or others may be made to the state bar, which reviews them and imposes discipline, if necessary.
How many people voted for Obama?
In 2008, President Obama received almost 53% of the popular vote and 365 electoral votes. His total of 69,456,897 votes was the most ever received by a U.S. presidential candidate. In 2012, his vote total was down from 2008, but he still won with a solid margin. He received 65,367,939 popular votes, and 332 electoral votes.
How many people voted in the democratic caucus in 2008?
We do not know yet but we do know that Obama has 30% and McCain has 60%.
Why there poor people in the US?
Because there are those who were not allowed to, and sometimes still cannot, acquire much wealth because of their race, gender, age, etc.
Some have much less motivation to do anything about the situation they are in or are heading to, while others try hard to come out from under, but because of much discrimination set from birth, it can become near impossible.
How does a step child go about taking on the last name of a step father?
If you'll pardon the pun, you've already taken the first step by being accepted by your step-father as his child. With that record on file at your area courthouse, go to the courthouse and locate the section where you can change your name legally. And congrats. Adoption, the biological father has to sign a paper of name change and rights.(sometimes all rights sometimes whatever you want)
How can sociology contribute to an understanding of health?
From my perspective: Sociology is the study of society. If you understand you society, what is accepted within the society and what is not accepted you find ways to be yourself in a manner that others find acceptable. By being accepted within your space, you are more content and relaxed. Less stress leads to better mental and physical health.

cw: Someone estimated that the number of people alive today equals the sum of all people who ever existed, up to now.
What awards has Barack Obama received?
1. Two Grammy Awards
2. Nobel Prize for Peace
The most important and world-recognized honor attained by Barack Obama as of this writing is the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in October 2009 in Oslo.
Mr. Obama attended university at Occidental College (Los Angeles), Columbia University (New York) , and Harvard (Boston/Cambridge) and earned many academic honors, some quite prestigious and esteemed all over the world. The most significant of these were earned at Harvard Law School, where Obama graduated at the top of his class and was named President of the Law Review.
In the realm of miscellaneous public honors, Obama has so far earned two Grammy awards, both for his voice recordings of political writings.
He was also the recipient of the 2009-2010 NBA Rookie of the Year award, an obvious publicity stunt.
He also received two top awards at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Awards.
Does Obama like the idea of homeschooling?
He doesn't mention anything about schooling.
In his book, The Audacity of Hope on page 344, Obama writes: "none of these policies need discourage families from deciding to keep a parent at home…For some families, that may mean doing without certain material comforts. For others it may mean home schooling….Whatever the case may be, such decisions should be honored." On his website he also says this, "Prepare Teachers: Obama and Biden will require all schools of education to be accredited. Obama and Biden will also create a voluntary national performance assessment so we can be sure that every new educator is trained and ready to walk into the classroom and start teaching effectively." He also supports the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN tribunal authorized to interpret and enforce the Children's Convention, sets forth an exhaustive index of children's rights, many at odds with the rights of parents. It has held, for instance, that Britain violated children's rights in Wales by allowing parents to withdraw their children from public school programs without first considering the children's wishes. In other words, the United Nations has determined that the government will decide what is best for our children.

Is Obama Part Of The Oligarchy?
Not really. The president (any US president, not just Barack Obama) can be a very powerful person, but he is rarely powerful enough to take over an entire country. An oligarchy refers to a government run by a small group of powerful elites (whether individuals or organizations). Some countries that have such a government are very similar to dictatorships, since the people have little say and less impact on what happens and all decisions are made by the powerful few.
Certain critics of money in American politics (and especially the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court) have expressed the belief that the US does not really have a democracy these days-- a handful of wealthy billionaire businessmen have excessive influence in our politics. But whether that is true or not, the fact remains that Barack Obama isn't one of them-- he isn't a billionaire and he isn't part of any small group that controls the country's politics. And while many of us are concerned by the trend towards more and more power going to the top 1%, the United States is not quite at the oligarchy level just yet, even if at times it seems that's where we are heading.
