Yesterday at the Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory A-League match I bought a match-sized Perth Glory ball worth $25. After the game I got it signed by 18 Glory players and 2 Victory players. The most known Glory players are first team and future Aussie keeper Tando Velaphi, Victor Sikora, who won 6 caps for Holland, the 4th highest goal scorer in premier league history, and scored a hattrick yesterday, Robbie Fowler, Former St Mirren and Motherwell midfielder Steve McGarry, Glory cult hero Adriano Pellegrino, and Australian striker Mile Strejovski, alongside young talents such as Scott Neville, my favourite player Andrija Jukic, Josh Mitchell and Michael Baird, plus others.
The two Victory players are world record holder for most goals in an international match Archie Thompson and 2009-10 A-League player of the season Carlos Hernandez. I would like to know how much this signed ball would sell for, anybody got any help?|||$1000000|||I would probably pay between 190-250 USD

Physics conversion problems help!? 9th grade science.?
i cant figure these out.
i know:
rate=distance/time
distance=rate x time
time=distance/rate
help me answer any or all of these questions and show your work and explain your steps please! thank you very much:)
dylan drove to the beach, which is one hundred thirty-six kilometers away, at forty-eitht kph. He drove home the next day at sixty kph. How many hours in total did Dylan spend driving?
christian drove to thebeach, which is one hundres twelve kilometers away, at 50 kph. he drove home the next day at 60 kph. what was his average speed for the round trip?
usain bolt is also the world record holder for the mens 200m sprint. his record time is 19.19 seconds. what is his average speed in miles per hour?
the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on the planet reaching speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. how many feet would it travel if it flies at this speed for 10 seconds?|||1.) On Dylan's trip to the beach, he drives 136 km away at 48 km/h. The next day, he drives back home also at 136 km (because the distance from the beach back to home is the same distance as home to the beach). He drives at 60 km/h back home. First you can find the time it took Dylan to go to the beach. Then you can find the amount of time for Dylan to return home. Finally you can add both times up and determine how long Dylan spent driving.
Home to beach:
Distance = rate*time
time = distance/rate
time = 136 km / (48 km/h)
time = 2.83 hours
Let's call this time1
time1 = 2.83 hours
Beach to home:
Distance = rate*time
time = distance / rate
time = 136 km / (60 km/h)
time = 2.27 hours
Let's call this time2
time2 = 2.27 hours
So the amount of time Dylan spent driving is the sum of time1 and time2:
Driving time = time1+time2
Driving time = 2.83 hours + 2.27 hours
==%26gt;Driving time = 5.10 hours
2.) This is similar to the first problem. On Christian's trip to the beach, he drives 112 km away at 50 km/h. The next day, he drives back home also at 112 km (because the distance from the beach back to home is the same distance as the home to the beach). He drives at 60 km/h back home. First you can find the time it took Christian to go to the beach. Then you can find the amount of time for Christian to return home. Finally you can add both times up and determine how long Christian spent driving.
Home to beach:
Distance = rate*time
time = distance/rate
time = 112 km / (50 km/h)
time = 2.24 hours
Let's call this time1
time1 = 2.24 hours
Beach to home:
Distance = rate*time
time = distance / rate
time = 112 km / (60 km/h)
time = 1.87 hours
Let's call this time2
time2 = 1.87 hours
So the amount of time Christian spent driving is the sum of time1 and time2:
Driving time = time1+time2
Driving time = 2.24 hours + 1.87 hours
Driving time = 4.11 hours
By definition:
Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = (112 km + 112 km) / 4.11 hours
==%26gt;Average speed = 54.5 km/h
3.) Using the same definition for average speed:
Average speed = total distance / total time
He sprints a total distance of 200 m in a total time of 19.19 seconds. So, his average speed in m/s is:
Average speed = 200 m / 19.19 seconds
Average speed = 10.42 m/s
To convert to miles per hour (mph), multiply by 2.24 because 1 m/s is about 2.24 mph
==%26gt;Average speed = 23.3 mph (That's QUICK!!!!)
4.) The falcon has a speed of 200 miles per hour and travels at this speed in 10 seconds. To determine how far it has gone in this time:
Distance = rate*time
Distance = (200 miles per hour) * 10 seconds
But 10 seconds = 0.0027778 hours
Distance = (200 miles per hour) * 0.0027778 hours
Distance = 0.5556 miles
Since 1 mile = 5280 feet
==%26gt;Distance = 2933.3 feet
(\(\

While going to the beach time spent driving = 136 / 48 = 2.83 hrs (approx)
While coming back home time spent driving = 136 / 60 = 2.27 hrs (approx)
Total Time taken driving = 5.10

Why aren't the Chinese Olympics being boycotted?
Earlier this week, when Haile Gebrselassie (the Ethiopian world record holder) announced that he won't be taking part in the Marathon race in the Olympics because the pollution would harm his health (he is asthmatic)...
...when the BBC broadcast the story, the Chinese government suspended BBC broadcast, because they didn't want locals from knowing about this story.
Gross levels of pollution
News censorship

Why haven't these Olympics been boycotted yet?
Why do you think that there's just been world-wide apathy regarding the Chines Olympics?|||Noooooo!
I was so hoping on seeing him on the track this year
How depressing...
Hopefully, Kenenisa Bekele (Ethiopian distance runner holding as of 2008 the world records in the 5000 meters and 10,000 meters.)

It would be easier than individual countries or competitors deciding. For athletes, it comes around every 4 years, and is what they ultimately train, and make sacrifices for: 12 months a year, good times and bad. There have been boycotts by governments at past Olympics(i.e.Moscow), without anything being achieved politically. China is destined to be the No.1 world power some time in the future; too powerful to bully into submission. Small changes for the better have taken place, mainly benefiting people in the cities. The Government will never allow democracy/free speech, because they know it will be the beginning of the end for Communist one-party rule. So, maybe it is better to employ other ways to try to influence them.|||Honestly do most others care about China or any other country and its problems. Most people are only concerned about their own country and what directly affects them andonly care about niumber one. People basically are selfish.|||Phillip is right- it's all about money. I don't like the idea of the Olympics being in Bejing either, but it's too late to change things now. The IOC is an organization which is not immune to corruption or bribery, and now it looks like the world's athletes are paying the price for their stupidity and lack of vision. Bejing is the capital of a third world dictatorship, one in which even the most basic of human freedoms are restricted or repressed, and yet the IOC seemed to think that somehow they would miraculously change if they were awarded the Games. It hasn't happened, and a lot of people are upset about it. The one bright spot in all this that I can see is that at least the equestrian portion of the Games won't be in Bejing, because the city doesn't have the facilities for it. The horses will be in Hong Kong, which does, thanks to the British, who built the necessary infrastructure when Hong Kong was crown colony.
As for the apathy, or apparent apathy, that's easy to explain- there are too many other things going on for some people to pay much attention to what's happening there right now. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the presidential election in the US, sky rocketing oil prices, the credit and mortgage crunch, the weak dollar, the constant signs of global warming and climate change- these things are all occupying far bigger places in people's minds than the Games are right now. Plus, it's easy to be apathetic when what's happening in a place like that has no direct effect on your life. Most people I know could care less about what is happening over there- they have enough problems of their own right now. When we get closer to the start date, some may wake up and pay more attention, but I wouldn't count on it.|||I too wish that they would be boycotted to teach that damned Country a lesson.

Religion..a perfect excuse to conquer and domiate..Slavery N Colonialism?
Religion generally has some good moral lessons. People unfortunately take things to extremes..especially..the notion of "absolute truth"..since all must be 'absolute truth' in religion people live to spin everything....true, mythical, or imagined...into the truth...Religions started from superstitious generations with much lesser understanding of their surroundings...and that naivette is spread to future generations. I'm baffled by Judaism-Origin Religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam...the sword has been used to loot and kill in God's name. Ask anyone anywhere about their own ancestors' teaching and beliefs and you get a blank! People instead of learning their history and cultural belief systems have been drawn into running around claiming Eurasian Religion originating from old school Palestine...,an utter wasteland that is the reason for so much senseless bloodshed....IDOLATRY of the largest extent of 'Geography'...of places by religions which claim to dismiss IDOLATRY...when their own IDOLATRY is the world record holder....When people will outgrow some of these senseless dogmatism-that I am right and you are all wrong-the world will be a better place.|||I guess your idea was to troll, but I can't agree more with your statements:)|||That was all done for economics,|||Religion: ??? I haven't heard any way that church , Mosque or Synagogue produced a atom bomb. Laboratory is usually in a hands of few Atheists.
There is both unity and diversity among world religions. There are many areas in which religions agree and there are also serious theological, philosophical and practical differences among them. It is quite presumptuous to say that all these differences do not matter and everything eventually leads to the same end.
The Qur’an gives us a very clear guidance on the subject of unity and diversity among religions. Let me emphasize few points from the Qur’anic perspective:
1. According to the Qur’an, human beings are by nature religious. Allah instilled in them His awareness through their “primordial nature” (Al-Fitrah, Ar-Rum 30: 30). This primordial nature in human beings recognizes the Divine, truth and goodness. All human beings have a common religiousness, just as they have a common sense.
2. The story of the origin of human beings is related in the Qur’an at several places (Al-Baqarah 2: 30-39; Al-A`raf 7: 11-25; Al-Hijr 15: 26-44; Al-Israa’ 17: 61-65; Al-Kahf 18: 50; Taha 20: 115-123; Saad 38: 71-85). However, on each occasion some fresh points and new insights are introduced. The basic message of the story is that Allah honored the first parents of humanity and allowed them to stay in Paradise for some time. He told them to enjoy everything, to eat and drink all they wished to but not to approach a certain tree. However, Iblis, the devil who was their enemy, misled both of them causing them to soon depart from Paradise. Upon their expulsion from Paradise they were told to beware of the Devil and not to fall into his traps. They were also assured that Allah would send His guides and messengers among them to show them the path of truth and righteousness. If they followed Allah’s prophets and messengers they would return to Paradise wherein they had been originally placed, or else they would lose it forever and end up in the total perdition of Hell.
3. Thus, as promised, Allah raised messengers from time to time among all peoples. (There was not a community), says the Qur’an, (except that a warner came to them.) (Fatir 35: 24); (For every people there was a guide.)(Al-Ra`d 13: 7) Finally the last Prophet, Muhammad came, concluding this prophetic line and giving the complete and final message of Allah to all mankind (Saba’ 34: 28).
4. The Qur’an emphasizes that the messages of all the Prophets of Allah were identical as far as the fundamental beliefs are concerned (see Al-A`raf 7: 59-93; Al-Anbiyaa’ 21: 25; and As-Shu`araa’ 26: 1-191). However, they differed in some practical details in consideration of the vicissitudes of time and place (Al-Ma’idah 5: 48). The religion of all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah throughout history was one and the same - Islam- that is ‘submission to Allah’. Islam in this sense is not a new religion, it is rather the original religion of all mankind and Prophet Muhammad is not the founder of Islam but its final messenger.
5. Although human beings hail from one and same origin and were originally one community, they do have differences. Not all differences are bad. Some differences are created by Allah. The diversity introduced by Allah in the human situation consists of the variety of genders, colors and languages among human beings and the multiplicity of races and tribes. These diversities are considered natural and are called “Allah’s signs” (Ayat) in the Qur’an (Ar-Rum 30:20-22). They are indicative of Allah’s creative power and are good and healthy since they endow human life with richness and beauty. Allah wants human beings to derive benefit from this diversity and not to allow these diversities to generate unhealthy schisms and divisions among them on the basis of genders, colors, languages or racial and tribal origins.
6. In addition to these natural diversities, there are other differences that were introduced by human beings. These are the diversities of viewpoints among human beings. The Qur’an recognizes the individuality of human beings and of their groups and communities. Not all diversities in views and opinions are considered evil either. On the contrary, sometimes the difference of opinion might be a token of Allah’s mercy. However, the dissension and disputes that lead to divisions and sectarianism are denounced in the Qur’an: (Those who divided their religion and broke up into sects, you have no part in them in the least. Their affair is with Allah.

There is both unity and diversity among world religions. There are many areas in which religions agree and there are also serious theological, philosophical and practical differences among them. It is quite presumptuous to say that all these differences do not matter and everything eventually leads to the same end.
The Qur’an gives us a very clear guidance on the subject of unity and diversity among religions. Let me emphasize few points from the Qur’anic perspective:
1. According to the Qur’an, human beings are by nature religious. Allah instilled in them His awareness through their “primordial nature” (Al-Fitrah, Ar-Rum 30: 30). This primordial nature in human beings recognizes the Divine, truth and goodness. All human beings have a common religiousness, just as they have a common sense.
2. The story of the origin of human beings is related in the Qur’an at several places (Al-Baqarah 2: 30-39; Al-A`raf 7: 11-25; Al-Hijr 15: 26-44; Al-Israa’ 17: 61-65; Al-Kahf 18: 50; Taha 20: 115-123; Saad 38: 71-85). However, on each occasion some fresh points and new insights are introduced. The basic message of the story is that Allah honored the first parents of humanity and allowed them to stay in Paradise for some time. He told them to enjoy everything, to eat and drink all they wished to but not to approach a certain tree. However, Iblis, the devil who was their enemy, misled both of them causing them to soon depart from Paradise. Upon their expulsion from Paradise they were told to beware of the Devil and not to fall into his traps. They were also assured that Allah would send His guides and messengers among them to show them the path of truth and righteousness. If they followed Allah’s prophets and messengers they would return to Paradise wherein they had been originally placed, or else they would lose it forever and end up in the total perdition of Hell.
3. Thus, as promised, Allah raised messengers from time to time among all peoples. (There was not a community), says the Qur’an, (except that a warner came to them.) (Fatir 35: 24); (For every people there was a guide.)(Al-Ra`d 13: 7) Finally the last Prophet, Muhammad came, concluding this prophetic line and giving the complete and final message of Allah to all mankind (Saba’ 34: 28).
4. The Qur’an emphasizes that the messages of all the Prophets of Allah were identical as far as the fundamental beliefs are concerned (see Al-A`raf 7: 59-93; Al-Anbiyaa’ 21: 25; and As-Shu`araa’ 26: 1-191). However, they differed in some practical details in consideration of the vicissitudes of time and place (Al-Ma’idah 5: 48). The religion of all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah throughout history was one and the same - Islam- that is ‘submission to Allah’. Islam in this sense is not a new religion, it is rather the original religion of all mankind and Prophet Muhammad is not the founder of Islam but its final messenger.
5. Although human beings hail from one and same origin and were originally one community, they do have differences. Not all differences are bad. Some differences are created by Allah. The diversity introduced by Allah in the human situation consists of the variety of genders, colors and languages among human beings and the multiplicity of races and tribes. These diversities are considered natural and are called “Allah’s signs” (Ayat) in the Qur’an (Ar-Rum 30:20-22). They are indicative of Allah’s creative power and are good and healthy since they endow human life with richness and beauty. Allah wants human beings to derive benefit from this diversity and not to allow these diversities to generate unhealthy schisms and divisions among them on the basis of genders, colors, languages or racial and tribal origins.
6. In addition to these natural diversities, there are other differences that were introduced by human beings. These are the diversities of viewpoints among human beings. The Qur’an recognizes the individuality of human beings and of their groups and communities. Not all diversities in views and opinions are considered evil either. On the contrary, sometimes the difference of opinion might be a token of Allah’s mercy. However, the dissension and disputes that lead to divisions and sectarianism are denounced in the Qur’an: (Those who divided their religion and broke up into sects, you have no part in them in the least. Their affair is with Allah. He will, in the end, tell them the truth of all that they did.)(Al-An`am 6:159) Such divisions arose, the Qur’an points out, because of undue selfishness, transgression, aggression and mutual jealousy (Al-Baqarah 2: 213; Aal `Imran 3: 19).|||Religion evolved from mankind's lack of scientific knowledge to explain how the God Yahweh has achieved creating what we can see and not see from His working knowledge of advanced fields of science that are still unknown to mankind today to explain.|||remember the swine running downhill and drowning in the lake.

Why are these sentences grammatically incorrect?
I have all the answers to these sentences but I want to know why certain words need to be used instead of others.
1. The reason sharks do not have to eat as much as people think is because they are cold blooded, meaning they burn energy at a slower rate than their warm blooded counterparts.
It should be "as much as people think is THAT sharks are cold blooded"
2. Sometimes created by underwater earthquakes, tsunamis are the cause of considerable damage when they occur.
The "they" in the sentence should be changed but I dont know to what they should be changed to.
3. The amateur magician claims that his stunts are more impressive than the famous American magician and world record holder, David Blaine.
The "than" in the sentence should be changed but I dont know what it should be changed to.|||Most of these aren't because of "grammatical" errors, they just need a better sentence structure. In number 3. the sentence implies that the amateur magicians stunts are more impressive than David Blaine himself, not David Blaine's stunts.
It makes more sense written as:
"The amateur magician claims that his stunts are more impressive than American, David Blaine's world record holding stunts."
Though I'd probably use a synonym for "stunts" in an actual sentence, I used "stunts" twice to avoid confusion.
Hope that helps a little.|||Sharks eat much less food than the average individual would guess. This is because they are cold blooded, meaning they burn energy at a slower rate than their warm blooded counterparts.
Tsunamis, created by underwater earthquakes, are the cause of considerable damage.
I like three as it stands. You could say. The amateur magician claims his abilities are far superior to those of the famous American Magician and world record holder, David Blaine.|||2 looks fine to me so no help there (unless they mean to drop the whole "when they occur" because that's somewhat redundant), but 3 needs to say ...than those of the famous...

Anybody heard of the sprint swimmer Stefan Nystrand?
He is the short course 50m and 100m world record holder. From what I read, he says he trains 3000m a session and 20k per week. That's not a whole lot. I was watching these videos and he uses a straight arm recovery for freestyle.
What do you think of his swimming style and his yardage?
