What is the function of screw in a physical balance?

There are two screws on the physical balance. One is on the left side and other is on the right side of the physical balance. If pointer is not in middle of the scale, we move these screws forwards or backwards to bring the pointer in the middle of the scale. This is done before we put any mass or weight in either of the pan. In other words we use the screws to remove the zero error of the physical balance.


Your daughter is getting confirmed in 1 month does her sponsor also have to be confirmed to stand up for her?

I would study the doctrine of the Lutheren church alongside the plumbline of God's Word before I let them pass my daughter a conterfiet hope of salvation. John 1:13 ...Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. I don't know what the above comment is all about, but regarding the question: Yes, a sponsor must also be confirmed. Confirmation is the affirmation of our Christian beliefs. Most of us are baptized as babies so that our parents make our commitment to God for us. When we reach the age of 13 or so, we are more able to make this commitment for ourselves, which is what we do when we are confirmed. Choosing a sponsor is extremely important as this person should act as a mentor to you in your faith life, encouraging you and guiding you as you grow in your faith. well, i know that at my church, a catholic church, the sponsor has to be confirmed, and over 16 to be the sponsor for the candidate. I'm being confirmed soon, and my sponsor is my godmother.

Was Mark Twain a drunk?

Sam Clemmons might have been a good student if he had the opportunity to be a student at all. After his father's death he became a printer's apprentice at the age of 12. He was clearly a good observer and a quick learner as he began almost immediately contributing articles and by age 17 had published in a literary magazine. He also became a river boat pilot in his twenties which was the inspiration for his pseudonym of Mark Twain. The pilots (on the Mississippi in this case) using a plumbline measured the depth of water. They would call out the depth in fathoms. "By the mark -- twain" meant the water was two fathoms or 12 feet deep. OR a more fun answer. . . Mark Twain could stand for Twain's obsessive drinking and his calling for two beers by saying Mark Twain or Mark Two (Source Mark Twain: His Amazing Adventures by A&E 1997 by Director Bill Harris) Carla Heine of Haunted Sonoma adds: Mark Twain was as close to the shore as a riverboat could get safely. As the plumb boy Sam Clemens, to call "Mark Twain!" up to the Captain of the steamboat was to tell him "all is well'" As a riverboat captain, Sam Clemens was always glad to hear this call from his plumb boy. Anything less than Mark Twain meant the boat was headed for a scrape at best. As a newspaper reporter Samuel Clemens ruined two of his careers with his caustic sarcasm, and alienated many former friends and relatives. Changing his name to Mark Twain gave him a fresh start in the writing trade, and also recalled old times when all really was well.
