How many hours apart is thrice a day in medication?
This would be the instructions, given by a health care provider/professional to the patient, for taking the prescribed medication (pill or liquid) for a specified illness, pain or discomfort. This 'instruction information would be found on both the doctor's prescription form and the container, in which the medication is provided.
The following are definitions of each term.
- 'medication', the product a health provider/professional will recommend (pill, ointment, liquid, etc.) a patient use, in an effort to assist the patient with relief of a pain, discomfort or other type of unhealthy condition. Also called, a pharmaceutical. Some medications are available OTC (Over The Counter), those you can buy off the shelf without a doctors recommendation. Others are by prescription only (BPO) and must be purchased at a recognized pharmacy.
- 'tab' is short for tablet or the plural form of the word, tablets. Tablets are manufactured in round shapes in varying thicknesses. Edges may be rounded or hard edge.
- '1 tab' is a single tablet; a single dosage; the amount taken at the prescribed interval of time.
- '3 times a day', refers to the interval (time or times) the medication is to be taken. An example would be;
"1 tablet should be taken 3 times each day; 1 at 8 AM, 1 at 3PM and 1 at 10PM."
This routine is spaced out in 7 hour intervals (length of time), between each single tablet dosage, to be taken during the waking period (not asleep) of a given 24 hour period.
Did February 30 and February 31 exist in the past?
Yes it existed in the past a long time ago because February 30 is followed by February 31, You know February 31 goes to March 1
Is time really an illusion or is it all myths?
Time is real. Time is an illusion. Time is a myth. Ready?
Time is real: while everyone's subjective sense of time is different, there is deffinitely a chronologic order in which things happen: We are born, get old, die. Never the other way around. Spring always comes after winter, October always comes before November. We may not be happy about it, but when our alarm clock goes off at 7 am, that's what time we have to get up to get to work on time. This is the agreed upon system we have implemented to allow us to organize ourselves better. We can set meetings and know when to plant new crops.
Time is an illusion: In the early 1900's Einstein proved that the speed of light was constant. In order for this to be true, both time and space have to be dynamic. They can expand and contract, so even though we see the clock tick: one second, one second, one second, the ticks of your clock and the ticks of my clock may actually be going at vastly different speeds depending on our velocities (the math gets real confusing here, so just take my word for it).
In addition: Scientists have now discovered what is called "Planck time", that is, the smallest unit of time which is equal to 1x10^-32 seconds. (that's .000000000000000000000000000000001 of a second). While this seems trivial, maybe even useless, what it tells us is that the universe "strobes". It blinks on and off. We perceive "our universe" because it blinks at the same frequency we do. However, it is entirely possible that there could be millions of univerese blinking on and off at slightly different frequencies all occupying the same space.
Time is a Myth: While we have agreed on general standards for how long a day, hour, minute and second are, and while we have agreed on the location of time zones and accepted the Gregorian calendar that says today is March 29, 2010 the simple fact of the matter is, its all made up. And if you live in America its even worse, 'cause we went ahead and made up daylight savings time too. Basically a committee sat down at one point hundreds of years ago and said "ok, time starts NOW!". But it doesn't really "come from anywhere" and many cultures reject the western concept of time and date. The Jews, for instance, put us somewhere in the year 5000, the Chinese have another calendar, and so on. Some cultures except 365 days in a year, some don't. Some have 12 months, some don't. Its just arbitrary.
In my opinion, the planck time of 1x10^-32 is the time it takes for every calculation for the next frame of the universe to take place. still, the universe goes at 1000000000000000000000000000000000 frames a second, so that's still fast
Hello. If you have been taking BCP every day and have not missed a pill then you should be protected against pregnancy. However it is best and very advisable to take the pill at the SAME TIME every day without fail hun. This will protect you more against pregnancy. It is never too late to start taking the pill at the same time everyday. Take care. :o)
There are 24 hours in one day, therefore 4 days is equal to 24 x 4 = 96 hours. The ratio therefore is equal to 57:96, which, in its simplest form, dividing both sides of the ratio by 3, is equal to 19:32.
What exact time does Yom Kippur end in various places in the world in 2010?
The end of Yom Kippur is the simplest of the calculations. All Jewish holidays end at sundown, so sundown local time is when the holiday ends. For the religious Jew, "end" is when three stars are visible in the evening sky. So check with your local weather station, and look for the three stars.
Since Yom Kippur is the end of a fast, many will be watching intently to break the fast that they are observing.
Does a Leap year have 369 days?

How was zoroastrianism different from the other religions of the time?
Until the seventh century BCE, Zoroastrianism was unique in being monotheistic.
How often in years do calendars repeat with the same day-date combinations?
Calendars repeat in a regular cycle, at least within a century, because each year has 1 day more than exactly 52 weeks, and leap years add another extra day . This combination results in a sequence of repeated calendars in a 28-year cycle. For NON-LEAP YEARS, a given arrangement of days will repeat in 6 years, then 11, then 11 years, then begin a new cycle. Crossing a century changes this because only every 4th century year (e.g. 2000 but not 2100, 2200, or 2300) is a leap year. LEAP YEAR calendars repeat every 28 years.
When Calendars repeat
There is a very simple pattern for determining "when" calendars repeat with the same day/date combinations. Define any year as one of four things: a "leap year", the "1st year after a leap year", the "2nd year after a leap year", or the "3rd year after a leap year". Add 28 to a "leap year" to get the next year that it will repeat. Add 6 to the "1st year after a leap year" to get the next year that it will repeat; add 11 to the "2nd year after a leap year" to get the next year that it will repeat. Also add 11 to the "3rd year after a leap year" to get the next year that it repeats. Ex: 2010 is the 2nd yr after a leap year and will repeat in 2010 + 11 = 2021. 2011 repeats in 2022; 2012 repeats in 2040; 2013 repeats in 2019; 2014 repeats in 2025; 2015 repeats in 2026; 2016 repeats in 2044; 2017 repeats in 2023; and so on.
How often calendars repeat
- Any leap year calendar will repeat in exactly the same way every 28 years.
- Any "1st year after a leap year" will repeat in a 6-11-11 cycle, ie, it will repeat in 6 years, then come up again in 11 years, come up again in 11 more years, then repeat the 6-11-11 year cycle.
- Both "2nd year after a leap year" and "3rd year after a leap year" will repeat in an 11-11-6 cycle.
Notice the patterns involve 6, 11, and 28. The cycles of 6-11-11 and 11-11-6 add to 28.
It can be 5, 6, or 11 years before an individual date-day combination comes up again. Individual days will repeat on a 6, 5, 6, 11 year cycle. For example, January 1, 2000 (a leap year) was a Saturday. The years that January 1 fell on or will fall on Saturday are: 1955, 1966, 1972, 1977, 1983, 1994, 2000, 2005, 2011, 2022, 2028, 2033, 2039, and 2050.
Possible Calendars
There are 14 possible combinations:
A year can begin on one of 7 weekdays, and the year can be a regular year or a leap year.
Note that the cycle doesn't repeat on a 14 year basis. Because the year can start on one of 7 days, and a leap year comes every 4 years, the cycle is more complicated, but any given year can have its calendar taken from one of the 14 possible calendars.
In a regular (non-leap) year, the year ends on the same day of the week as it starts (2005 started on Saturday, and will end on Saturday) That's 52 weeks and one day. The next year starts on the next day of the week, and should end on that same weekday. (2006 starts on a Sunday, and ends on a Sunday.)
A leap year will end on the weekday immediately after the weekday on which it starts, and is 52 weeks and 2 days long. (2004 started on a Thursday, and ended on a Friday).

Walk for 1 hour in how many days can you reduice your hip size?
Your hip size - or weight lossin general - will reduce gradually, not suddenly after a certain time.
He obviously cares a lot for you, but be wary. If he is jealous when other guys talk to you or he wants to know where you are all the time or he doesn't like you to go out with girlfriends then it's a control issue and not so much protection (I'm not accusing him of this) but making you aware it's possible.
"You" have to give him the ultimatum to decide pretty quick if your relationship is good enough to settle down and perhaps marry and you should let him know that. Some guys are just terrified of marriage (isn't any different than living together for 6 months to a year when in many States and Canada you are considered the same as married). If marriage is what you want in the future tell him in your discussion that you can plan it together and it could be a small ceremony, or you could go somewhere you both like to get married and keep it really small. Try just sitting down and communicating and asking him how he feels about it all. If you don't like his answer tell him that if you love someone then you really want to be together for a future and you're not going to wait around as you've been going together long enough. Some men don't mean it, but they are so frightened of marriage they would rather just leave things as they are and not make a commitment. That doesn't mean they don't love the person.
If you want to see some fast action one way or the other give him a short time to make up his mind and if he doesn't then split-up from him and start going out with friends and dating. Sometimes people don't know how good they've got it until they've lost it and hopefully your boyfriend is one of these guys. By waiting around for him to decide (which could be never) you are robbing yourself of the future you want.
When I met my husband he was fairly shy at first. We'd gone together almost 4 years and he hadn't popped the question to me. We got along well and had so much fun. I discussed a future together and made it clear I was not the type of girl who wanted to live together and be tied down without commitment. He was evasive and uncomfortable regarding marriage. So, I split-up with him. It hurt my heart and I missed him so much, but it was a risk I had to take. The months dragged on and then 6 months later we were in the same wedding party. I thought my heart would pop out and roll across the carpet. I honestly didn't know how he felt. I'd been in the dating circuit again and obviously thought he had been, but he'd brought no one to the wedding and neither did I. It was only a week later he phoned me up and asked me out, but added "I'm still not ready for commitment." I said, "I still feel the same about commitment and you aren't going to get the milk free without buying this cow!" LOL He was stunned and he had a choice. Thank heavens he mustered up the courage to commit and we did get back together and after we went together another 3 months he got down on one knee and proposed marriage! I just wanted a quiet ceremony at the Justice of the Peace (for two reasons: I'd been married before and I also wanted to make the process of getting married less painful for him) and go on a nice honeymoontogether, but it was "my fiance" that wanted to be married in the Church Chapel and we had the best private wedding bash at his parent's home. The party was so good we didn't want to leave! LOL
I shared my above story because I know you are going to get the odd poster that will tell you to dump this guy, but some guys are just plain shy and scared of commitment and sometimes it takes a little time to convince them if you are sure you love each other. Marriage should be taken seriously. It's important for you to take the risk like I did and split-up so it gives you both time to know what you both want. Hopefully, your dreams will come true.

Physics, in this case is in harmony with what is set forth in Genesis, that almighty God created a tri-universe of space, time and matter. The specific reasons for the creation of time are not stated directly. A number of explanations would be satisfactory.
Firstly, time could have been created to demonstrate the finitude of man and creation, both being subject to time and within time, in contrast to the almighty creator, who is both outside of time and eternally unlimited by time.
Secondly, as suggested by the first answer above, time is part of the physical reality of the universe, in which are also space and matter, all three of which interact with each other.
Additionally:
From the biblical perspective, it's revealed that God is working on a "plan," that is on a "time schedule."
"He must remain in heaven UNTIL THE TIME COMES for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets." (Acts 3:21 NIV)
"And you are the heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers... 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth WILL BE blessed.'" (verse 25)
"What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to guardians and trustees UNTIL THE TIME set by his father. So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world. But when THE TIME HAD FULLY COME, God sent His Son..." (Gal.4:1-4 NIV).
"...whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death UNTIL HE COMES." (I Cor.11:26 NIV)
"THEN the end will come, when He [Jesus] hands over the Kingdom to God the Father AFTER He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For He must reign UNTIL He has put all His enemies under His feet." (I Cor.15:24-25 NIV)
Our Creator has "allotted man this time" for a number of reasons... one of which is for the purpose of working out the lawful and just "restoration of all things" that Satan and his angels disrupted in the beginning -- including the redemption of mankind, who is presently AT THIS TIME bound in slavery to the "basic principles" of this world [Satan's world].
Another reason for "creating time"... is that the "building of character" [whether it's good character or bad]... takes time. God is seeking to build Righteous character in His "heirs" [His Children]. And that requires that they must learn evil during that journey in order that they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they will choose to reject the evil [overcome it through Jesus Christ] -- or succumb to it.
"...we are God's Children. Now if we are Children, then we are heirs -- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His Glory." (Rom.8:16-17 NIV)
Children require the TIME to grow and develop. Fathers seek to teach their children the right way to live and conduct themselves, that they might develop Righteous character -- and be happy. For Righteous character is not acquired by fiat. It's fought for.
"...you also were included in Christ when you heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance UNTIL THE REDEMPTION of those who are God's possession -- to the praise of His Glory." (Eph.1:13-14 NIV)
"...this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight [character development] so that you may be able to discern what is best amd may be pure and blameless UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST [the prophesied Day of the Lord; the future time of Jesus Christ's return to earth], filled with the fruit of Righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ -- to the Glory and Praise of God." (Philipp.1:9-11 NIV)
"Fight the good fight of the faith... I charge you to keep this commandment without spot or blame UNTIL THE APPEARING of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about IN HIS OWN TIME..." (I Tim.6:12-15 NIV).
So, time is a commodity [like everything else in this polluted, throw-away satanic world], that God's Children must re-learn and re-think and be reeducated not to waste and take for granted. As the song goes: 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Pave Paradise... put in a parking lot."
Time is critical... and it's passing away. This unbelieving high-tech world wastes it... wallowing in unrestraint, over-indulgence and degradation; excessive drink and promiscuous sex. It's preoccupied with frivolity... the cares of the world... and carelessness.
Time is also for the learning of "patience."
"Be patient, then, brothers, UNTIL the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near." (James 5:7-8 NIV)
These are some of the reasons why the Bible says time was created.

How do you find someone missing that has been gone a long time?
You could hire a private detective. Try contacting any family, friends or old jobs, landlords etc. that may be able to offer any information. Try previous areas that the person was known to be and check 411.com or speak to an operator that maybe able to help. You could ask local police departments in areas if they can offer any information. Good Luck.
about 4,416 hours in that amount of time, saying you did it for 24 hours a day. say like six hours a day for 5 days that would be around maybe 870 hours?
What is an alarm clocks purpose?
Its purpose is to wake people up from sleep or to warn them it's time to do something.
How do you power clocks with liquids?
In general, liquids have mass, take the shape of their containers, and can be made to flow at fairly constant rates. Water that is moving in a stream has what we call kinetic energy, and if we put something in the stream, the object gets pushed. If we put a paddle wheel part way into the stream, it pushes the wheel around and we can use the power converted to run machinery (such as grinding mills, pumps, or clocks). If we dump the water onto the top of the wheel, that allows the water to perform more work over a longer arc, increasing the efficiency of the energy conversion. From observations like these, many Egyptian, Chinese and Greek inventors used this power to perform some very elaborate chores, such as running water clocks (see the link below).
