What is negative divided by positive?
i have learned this dozens of times and i hope that this method helps:)
multiply and divide rules:)
a positive and a negative looks like a person who was punched in the eye so that would be a negative which is bad.
a positive and a positive means that this person is peacefully awake so it is a positive
a negative and a negative means that this person is peacefully asleep so it is a positive as well:)
good luck i hope this method helps
Is it 'toe the line' or 'tow the line'?
The previous response was " 'tow the line'.... in reference to- pulling your weight, doing your share, etc." This is incorrect. The correct phrase is "Toe the line", as in "put your toes on this line next to everyone else." It may be a Navy reference. Some links:

How to build a set of phonetic alphabets useable for all Indian languages?
OM-LIPI Sutra : An Indian Phonetic Script
OM is the equivalent of the alpha and omega of this character set and hence the name OM lipi
Based on Devnagrik Lipi
Suitable for all Indian Languages (adaptable to all languages and may be called Uniscript)
Phonology linked to physiology - Characters are coded with the location and / or formation of the tongue in production of the phoneme
Logical and mnemonic
Divided into 3 groups:
a) Vowels & diphthongs
b) Grouped (structured) consonants
c) Others
Vowels - All five vowels are coded with their symbolic position in the mouth from where they are produced. They are like a semicircle the opening of which depends on where the phoneme is produced in the mouth (see diagram). A dot inside the semicircle denotes a long vowel.
Diphthongs are made by combining the beginning and ending vowels that make the diphthong in the same order. The diphthongs may also be put in grid with all possible combinations in a sequential manner for use in other languages.
Structured consonants - the five groups - k, ch, t, th & p represented by lines indicating the location from where the phoneme is produced and the aspirated, voiced, aspirated & voiced and nasal - each having its own symbol (see diagram).
Aspirated : a backslash at the bottom
Voiced : a dot at bottom left (symbolizing the location of the vocal cord)
Aspirated & voiced - both the above symbols
Nasal - a dot on top right (symbolizing the location of the nose)
Doubling of a consonant - a dot on the left side of the character
Others - subgroups like semi vowels, fricatives, laterals, retroflex…
Tongue is represented by a horizontal line with a vertical line at the right end -
downward indicating the top tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge or the tip of the upper teeth and
upward vertical line indicating the lower tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge
Unicode
By placing the character in the relevant cell of a grid of 100 x 50 (columns and rows) from back to front of the voice producing area (cross section of the mouth), would give the code of that character. This could be used for Unicode numbering - a code for each character could be derived from the grid - making understanding and sorting of characters easier
Once compatibility with Unicode is made, transcription may easily be automated through software.
Wanted Expertise For Development and Implementation
Develop and fine tune the character set in an appealing and acceptable way by making it writable and easily readable (of course after corrections as required).
Prepare an audio visual training program to explain the character set and the logic.
Prepare the software for transcribing popular articles, songs and prayers from different languages to OMlipi so that people can easily have access to this new lipi through the net making learning easier and implementation faster.
The multilingual groups can benefit a lot with this lipi and can help in national integration by eventually to a convergence and the evolution of a Bharat Bhasha.
With combinations of just six characters we could have a Unique Identity Code for all the people in the world!!
A new simpler keyboard (suitable for the handheld devices as well) may be designed to use these characters in an easier way.
What country invented surfing?
Many people believe that surfing was invented by Hawaiians, historical documents have disproved this . It was actually invented in Polynesia according to the records of 18th century sailors, some people claim it was invented in ancient South America first, this type of surfing was not the same as what we know as surfing today however and has not been conclusively proven at all, only claimed.

How do you know if something is fact?
It must be true and studied to find that from every point of view it is the truth.
The Arya-siddhanta, a lot work on astronomical computations, is known through the writings of Aryabhata's contemporary, Varahamihira, and later mathematicians and commentators, including Brahmagupta and Bhaskara I. This work appears to be based on the older Surya Siddhanta and uses the midnight-day reckoning, as opposed to sunrise in Aryabhatiya. It also contained a description of several astronomical instruments: the gnomon (shanku-yantra), a shadow instrument (chhAyA-yantra), possibly angle-measuring devices, semicircular and circular (dhanur-yantra / chakra-yantra), a cylindrical stick yasti-yantra, an umbrella-shaped device called the chhatra-yantra, and water clocks of at least two types, bow-shaped and cylindrical.
