Do rabbits eat their young?

Q:-
I have a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit she is only 5 months and I found out that she is expecting babies. I am wondering if their is a chance that she might eat them. Do rabbits eat their young's? If so, how can I prevent that?

A:-
Hi....I've been raising and showing rabbits for 10 years. They do sometimes kill and eat their babies. But it does not happen very often, in my 10 years of experience I have only had it happen twice and it was the same doe (female rabbit) both times. This is probably the least of your concerns though. Your rabbit is a little bit young to have babies, but I would say she will be fine (does this mean she is with other rabbits now? If so she needs to be separated). The worst thing is that first time mothers almost always are unsure of what to do and do not take care of their babies or have them outside the nestbox. But if you check on her every few hours then you should be able to save them if they are born outside the nest box. Make sure you give her a nestbox a couple days before her due date though. Rabbit's gestation period (length of time they are pregnant) is 28-32 days. The nestbox I have found to be the best can be bought at Tracor Supply and is metal with a removable wood floor, for cleaning. Put about a 2 inch layer of sawdust (pine, not cedar) across the bottom of the box along with a handful of straw (not hay, hay is what they eat and straw is bedding) in the box and a couple more handfuls outside the box so that she can carry more in to build her nest if she chooses. She will then line the nest with her fur and should have them with 24-48 hours and most likely at night. Just be sure to keep her area pretty quiet. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have. Especially if there are any complications with them after they are born, I would be glad to help you in any way possible.
P.S. Touching them will not make her eat them, just remove her from the cage before messing with the babies as that can stress her out some. It is not true that your scent on them will affect her taking care of them at all though. Check on each one to make sure it is ok after they are born and contintue to do so each day after.

(Q&A) What is a good way to temporarilly dye hair for a week?

Q:-
I want to dye my hair for 3 days to a week. How can I do this easily and cheaply?

A:-
go to the salon and ask for a TEMPORARY color. The molecules in the color don't penetrate into the hair and because they're on the outside of the hair they will only last a certain number of shampoos. Do not use a semi-perminent color because 1/2 of the molecules go into the hair and will stay.

I speak from experience.

Or just go to the drug store and get the halloween hair spray that has color in it or get hair mascara.

2 days no on9 becoz of this

On the last thursday,
My parent wanna get a new maid....
Then agent was really slow...
Firstly, she said that the ferry still not yet reached the pelabuhan...
Then, my dad call... She said at 9pm she will call back...
At 10pm she called and she said the maid have reached the pelabuhan...
Me and my bro go to the Bukit Lancang to get the agent for showing the way to the pelabuhan..
We drive about 33km...

But my dad got a call from a person named Mr Zamri...
He said that the maid was alone... the maid has been there about 3 hours....
Then, my dad call my bro...
After get the info, my bro ask the agent tat if she knows who is this Mr Zamri...

When we got there... I stay in the car becoz i bring laptops with... For safety reason....
I waited about 20min...
Then, my bro, the agent and the new maid came back...
So, we are on our way to Senawang, Seremban...
I didnt take pict of the new maid...
Becoz she was not cute and she is fat... LOL
Thats why my bro car cannot go over than 140km/h...
It is becoz of the overloaded person at the back seat....
By the way, the car was a jeep car... (High) So, got more air pressure... means the car wasn't design for speed..

The sky was dark..

But my dad got a call from a person named Mr Zamri...
He said that the maid was alone... the maid has been there about 3 hours....
Then, my dad call my bro...
After get the info, my bro ask the agent tat if she knows who is this Mr Zamri...
The agents was like huh? who is Mr Zamri...
But, the agent wan to fetch her's maid too... how could be the zamri said tat onli my maid alone?
and where got government so detail bout our process....

Ways To Improve Your Memory

The human brai­n is like a library that stock­s memories instead of books. In some ways, that makes the hippocampus, the part of the brain most involved in memory, the brain's librarian. The hippocampus has the most responsibility in this cranial library, juggling the new releases of short-term memory while cataloging materials for the permanent collection of long-term memory. It's not the only part at work, however, in storing these chapters of our lives. Different kinds of memory are stored in different areas of the brain. With such a large system, the brain needs a system of encoding and retrieving memories, something a bit more complex than the local library's Dewey Decimal System.

The brain has to be able to pull information at the drop of a hat, whether it's a fact on hold (such as a telephone number) or a dusty memory that's been sitting in storage for years (the memory of your first kiss). No one likes a library that loses books or shelves them in the wrong place. Yet sometimes we find ourselves with a very poor librarian on our hands, one that doesn't allow us to retrieve memories when we need them. Sometimes it's trivial, like when we tear apart our homes looking for glasses perched innocuously atop our heads, and sometimes these lapses in memories are more embarrassing, such as when we call a colleague "sport" because we simply can't remember his name.

Whether you're a college student studying for an important test or an aging baby boomer concerned about forgetting a recent doctor's appointment, there are a few things everyone can do to optimize the storage and checkouts in our private libraries of memories. Alert the librarian and head to the next page for the first tip.

(Q&A) Solve: cos2x+cos4x=0 ?

Q:-

Solve between (0, 2pi): cos2x +cos4x = 0

A:-

0 = cos2x + cos4x = cos2x + 2(cos2x)^2 - 1
because cos2a = cos^2 a - sin^2 a = cos^2 a - (1 - cos^2 a)

Put A=cos2x.
Then from the above:
0 = 2A^2 + A - 1 = (2A - 1)(A + 1)
and this implies
A = -1 or A = 1/2
ie
cos2x = -1 or cos2x = 1/2

cos2x = -1 implies:
2x = pi or 3pi, so x=pi/2 or 3pi/2

cos2x = 1/2 implies:
2x = pi/3 or 5pi/3 or 7pi/3 or 11pi/3
so x=pi/6 or 5pi/6 or 7pi/6 or 11pi/6

So all the solutions are:
pi/6, pi/2, 5pi/6, 7pi/6, 3pi/2, 11pi/6

HDTV

When the first high-definition television (HDTV) sets hit the market in 1998, movie buffs, sports fans and tech aficionados got pretty excited, and for good reason. Ads for the sets hinted at a television paradise with superior resolution and digital surround sound. With HDTV, you could also play movies in their original widescreen format without the letterbox "black bars" that some people find annoying.

But for a lot of people, HDTV hasn't delivered a ready-made source for transcendent experiences in front of the tube. Instead, people have gone shopping for a TV and found themselves surrounded by confusing abbreviations and too many choices. Some have even hooked up their new HDTV sets only to discover that the picture doesn't look good.

Fortunately, a few basic facts easily dispel all of this confusion. In this article, we'll look at the differences between analog, digital and high-definition, explain the acronyms and resolution levels and give you the facts on the United States transition to all-digital television. We'll also tell you exactly what you need to know if you're thinking about upgrading to HDTV.

Analog, Digital and HDTV

For years, watching TV has involved analog signals and cathode ray tube (CRT) sets. The signal is made of continually varying radio waves that the TV translates into a picture and sound. An analog signal can reach a person's TV over the air, through a cable or via satellite. Digital signals, like the ones from DVD players, are converted to analog when played on traditional TVs. (You can read about how the TV interprets the signal in How Television Works.)

This system has worked pretty well for a long time, but it has some limitations:

* Conventional CRT sets display around 480 visible lines of pixels. Broadcasters have been sending signals that work well with this resolution for years, and they can't fit enough resolution to fill a huge television into the analog signal.
* Analog pictures are interlaced -- a CRT's electron gun paints only half the lines for each pass down the screen. On some TVs, interlacing makes the picture flicker.
* Converting video to analog format lowers its quality.

Analog TVs like this one can't use digital signals without a
set-top converter.

United States broadcasting is currently changing to digital television (DTV). A digital signal transmits the information for video and sound as ones and zeros instead of as a wave. For over-the-air broadcasting, DTV will generally use the UHF portion of the radio spectrum with a 6 MHz bandwidth, just like analog TV signals do.

DTV has several advantages:

* The picture, even when displayed on a small TV, is better quality.
* A digital signal can support a higher resolution, so the picture will still look good when shown on a larger TV screen.
* The video can be progressive rather than interlaced -- the screen shows the entire picture for every frame instead of every other line of pixels.
* TV stations can broadcast several signals using the same bandwidth. This is called multicasting.
* If broadcasters choose to, they can include interactive content or additional information with the DTV signal.
* It can support high-definition (HDTV) broadcasts.

DTV also has one really big disadvantage: Analog TVs can't decode and display digital signals. When analog broadcasting ends, you'll only be able to watch TV on your trusty old set if you have cable or satellite service transmitting analog signals or if you have a set-top digital converter.

This brings us to the first big misconception about HDTV. Some people believe that the United States is switching to HDTV -- that all they'll need for HDTV is a new TV and that they'll automatically have HDTV when analog service ends. Unfortunately, none of this is true.

HDTV is just one part of the DTV transition. We'll look at HDTV in more detail, including what makes it different from DTV, in the next section.

DTV vs. HDTV
The Advanced Television Standards Committee (ATSC) has set voluntary standards for digital television. These standards include how sound and video are encoded and transmitted. They also provide guidelines for different levels of quality. All of the digital standards are better in quality than analog signals. HDTV standards are the top tier of all the digital signals.

The ATSC has created 18 commonly used digital broadcast formats for video. The lowest quality digital format is about the same as the highest quality an analog TV can display. The 18 formats cover differences in:

* Aspect ratio - Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio -- it is four units wide by three units high. HDTV has a 16:9 aspect ratio, more like a movie screen.
* Resolution - The lowest standard resolution (SDTV) will be about the same as analog TV and will go up to 704 x 480 pixels. The highest HDTV resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. HDTV can display about ten times as many pixels as an analog TV set.
* Frame rate - A set's frame rate describes how many times it creates a complete picture on the screen every second. DTV frame rates usually end in "i" or "p" to denote whether they are interlaced or progressive. DTV frame rates range from 24p (24 frames per second, progressive) to 60p (60 frames per second, progressive).

Many of these standards have exactly the same aspect ratio and resolution -- their frame rates differentiate them from one another. When you hear someone mention a "1080i" HDTV set, they're talking about one that has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and can display 60 frames per second, interlaced.

Broadcasters get to decide which of these formats they will use and whether they will broadcast in high definition -- many are already using digital and high-definition signals. Electronics manufacturers get to decide which aspect ratios and resolutions their TVs will use. Consumers get to decide which resolutions are most important to them and buy their new equipment based on that.

Until the analog shutoff date, broadcasters will have two available channels to send their signal -- a channel for analog, and a "virtual" channel for digital. Right now, people can watch an over-the-air digital signal only if they are tuned in to the broadcaster's virtual digital channel. After analog broadcasting ends, the only signals people will receive over the air will be digital.

However, even though a digital signal is better quality than an analog signal, it isn't necessarily high definition. HDTV is simply the highest of all the DTV standards. But whether you see a high-definition picture and hear the accompanying Dolby Digital® sound depends on two things. First, the station has to be broadcasting a high-definition signal. Second, you have to have the right equipment to receive and view it. We'll look at how to get an HDTV set and signal next.
