Does television teach children bad grammar bad manners bad language and bad diet?
Sadly, it does. It's a sad thing because many children like watching TV! But once they're glued to the tube, a child can't stop! I let my children watch 2 hours of television a night, but my husband and I have to approve the show(s). We let them watch movies, as long as the movie doesn't have sex, or cursing. We NEVER watch TV during dinner, and if they're bored we tell them to read a book, or play with some friends. We don't tell them THEY can't watch television, but we encourage them not to do so! Children will want to eat what the see other people eat, like cookies and pizza and chips and soda/pop! And it shows them they can do things that my husband and I don't want them to! And it shows bad grammar because, when the hear someone saying, "Whatever," they'll start saying that too and not typing in full sentences! They get these habits that are VERY hard to break! It's better that they just don't watch TOO much television. But not letting them watch any, is worse! They will be upset with you, and be mad at you!
Comment:I disagree with that last sentence. TV was never a necessary part of one's life. Comment:i disagree with you on the tv part. If we did not have a television we wuold not get the latest news. if we wan't to watch the weather it's only on the radio and they might say ''In the southern part of USA it's gonna rain tonight'' and then you don't know if it's gonna rain in that Texas or Lousiana or Mississippi or Alabama and you won't see the latest products that i selling out so you might see it the next day and u won't get it because it's no more in the store. <--------(writen by kapiton22) Answer:My name is Courtney Gray and this is my opinion. It is up to the responsible parents to limit their children's television. Personally, I think watching television everyday is fine. You just have to limit how much they watch. For example, if your children get up at 7:00 a.m. they should be eating breakfast at 7:20. This gives them time to wash their face and wake up fully. Let them eat their breakfast at 7:20 and watch television at 7:40. Children like to take their time eating their food (aslo playing with it)!! Let them watch televison for about and hour or two. Two hours might seem a lot to some parents but it is o.k. if you take it slowly at a time. Another thing that I'm worried about also is what parents let children watch. Cursing, violence, and gore are meant for people a certain age. Realistic cartoons are probably the best for children to watch. There is nothing wrong with those fantasy cartoons, but let your children watch something that enlightens them to the real world. Maybe two days out the week they can watch those unrealistic cartoons. My whole point is that watching television is a very good thing for children. It lets them know that things that they never known about are there. Children are true blessings when they came into the world. Don't make your child a sin coming out. Thank you. Comment:I made the first comment, and I must disagree with the second. Newspapers can accomplish much the same things that TV can. Comment:I made the second comment. I must disagree with the third comment. But in our days people learn many things from TV! And if it is a fire in your Neigbourhood on a monday you might not notice it before Thursday when the newspaper comes with the mail!I learned to cook some new meals from the TV and you can learn how to build,repair,plant vegetables or fruit and workout with Wii fitness and Eyetoy or through a Arobics channel on your tv.
Maybe if their parents were make them get off their fat butts and take the chips away they could move. Parents need to wake up and give veggies with no tv.
Comment:PARTLY. If you watch TV very often then you probably will take note to bad language, grammar and manners, BUT diet is a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit different.If you watch TV constantly - all the time practically 24/7 - then it'll give you bad health but if you watch a bit of TV and excercise regularly than you won't have bad health.
If you watch TV programs that don't help your brain or body then it's bad. I can't be bothered writing anymore.

Are opposite sides of a quadrilateral always congruent?
No.
For any random quadrilateral, they are actually "never" congruent. The probability of the sides being so is infinitely less than the probability they will not be.
What has all angles ans sides congruent?
Any polygon called "regular" or "equilateral" will have congruent sides and angles. An equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon are examples.
A quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of opposite sides that are congruent?
An isosceles triangle with its apex cut off by a line parallel to the base.
Farting is not bad because that means you have to get gas out of your system it has to be out. Farting is really good and farting is even better because that means you can stink the people up.
A fraction whose numerator and denominator represent the same quantity but use different units?
A unit conversion ratio

What is the role of education in Judaism?
Who knows the wont tell me the answer i am stuck. But i think that it has a big role. especially in the men the think that is very important. So that you can read the Hebrew language.
A quadrilateral with 4 congruent angles 2 pairs of congruent sides what type of quadrilateral is it?
4 sides
What two devices are considered input devices?
Keyboard, Mouse, Barcode Reader, Scanner - any device that takes user input.
Phonetics is the way words and letters are pronounced. If you know how to pronounce things, then when you see a word written down, you can figure out how it's pronounced. Since most kids learn how to talk before they can read, knowing how to say a word usually means you know what the word means.
For example: Let's say you're a kid learning to read. You already know how to talk and say things like "I want candy" but you see a new word you've never read before. It says C A N D Y ... since you know what each letter sounds like, you start making the sounds and realize that the word IS "candy" and you've just read it!
Where did the Algebra term FOIL come from?
F = First
O = Outside
I = Inside
L = Last
It's for the Order of Operations
What part of speech is the word 'then'?
With this one: "Peace is to be desired, rather than war."
The domain includes the numbers that serve as the input to a function. In contrast the range are the outputs which corresponds to the domain.
for example in the equation f(x)=(2-x)^2 the domain is given by the numbers you choose to substitute in for x and the range is given by the values of "f" that correspond to those substitutions. when you graph the function "over all real numbers" you are choosing the domain to go from negative infinity to positive infinity. If i choose the domain to be all integers from 0 to 4 then we would have the following:
f(0)=(2-0)^2=4
f(1)=(2-1)^2=1
f(2)=(2-2)^2=0
f(3)=(2-3)^2=1
f(4)=(2-4)^2=4
so we chose the domain to be (0,1,2,3,4) and that gave us the following range (4,1,0)
If our function was instead something like this: f(x,y)=x+y then we have two input variables, x and y. so this means the domain must be specified for each variable just like it was specified for the single variable in the previous example. here is an example:
lets choose our range for this same function, f(x,y)=x+y, to be x: {0,1,2} and y: {0,1,2}. then we would have the following
f(0,0)=0+0=0
f(0,1)=0+1=1
f(0,2)=0+2=2
f(1,0)=1+0=1
f(1,1)=1+1=2
f(1,2)=1+2=3
f(2,0)=2+0=2
f(2,1)=2+1=3
f(2,2)=2+2=4
so the corresponding range for that domain would be (0,1,2,3,1)
You can see how complex things get with multiple variables as inputs to a function. But what happens when we assign an interval to each x and y domain? In this case since the domain is more complex it is not given by a single interval (e.g x goes from 0 to infinity) but rather by two intervals which comprise a region.
As an example of this lets choose our domain to be all of the points (x,y) that would make up the region inside of a circle of radius 1 around the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. An easier way to specify this domain is by saying: "the domain is given by all of the points where x^2+y^2<1" this is because that is the equation for a disc centered at the origin.
so how do we find the range for this domain? It would take an infinite amount of time for me to substitute random values in for x and y as i have done before. Another more practical way to visualize the range is to use a coordinate system with 3 axes, an x-axis, a y-axis, and a range-axis. the range can be determined by graphing the function, f(x,y)=x+y, on this system of coordinates but only including those values that lie over the circular region (our chosen domain) on the xy-plane of the coordinate system.
What happens if we extend this domain and range analysis to functions of not one, not two, but three variables. if our function is something like, f(x,y,z)=x+y+z then we would not be able to graph the range on a three dimensional, x, y, z coordinate system.
If time is one of our domain variables in a 3 dimensional function, f(x,y,t) then we can graph the range on a coordinate system with an x-axis, y-axis, and Range-axis. the time time domain would not be given by a spacial interval but a temporal interval. so the graph would begin building itself at time t=0 and the range would be swept out as its shadow hovers over the x,y domain.
Why air-dried sample is used in sieve analysis?
to remove the air bubble, which are made error in volume.

The traction horsepower rating of a diesel locomotive is the same as wheel HP?
No! According to AAR definitions, traction horsepower (THP) is the diesel engine INPUT to the main generator available for traction purposes only (generator, electric motors and gear losses are not taken into consideration). So THP is the gross diesel engine HP less the auxiliary load HP (typically 5% of the diesel engine brake HP, for fan driving and other auxiliary vital equipment). Wheel rim HP is usually 85%+ of the traction HP (in a modern locomotive). Drawbar HP (DBHP) will be somewhat smaller (especially as speed increases) due to locomotive resistance as a vehicle (+ 0.75xTHP at maximum speed for a powerful freight loco.). For example, in a SD90MAC diesel loco., the GM16V265H diesel engine is capable of 6300 BHP, but the locomotive is rated at 6000 THP. The drawbar HP can top 5300 DBHP at low speed.
