			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Algebra is good at differentiating relationships between things that vary from time to time. For example, the relationship between a person&#8217;s income and rise of his expenses could be discovered and predicted using easy algebraic equations. Maths is not an easy subject for most pupils. Many software programs are available with a variety of subject intro so students of whatsoever intellect level can find the way that works for him/her. It  also helps students to understand usefulness of Algebra in real life as well as in industry arena. Greater functions used in algebra include <b> <a href="http://www.mathmusic.org/graphing-linear-inequalities.html">Graphing linear inequalities</a> ,  <a href="http://www.www-mathtutor.com/solving-compound-inequalities.html">Solving compound inequalities</a> ,  <a href="http://www.polymathlove.com/">Solving quadratic inequalities</a> , Adding and Subtracting matrices etc</b>.<br />
Although algebra is an easy to follow course of study, students may face a lot of trouble if they do not practice the basic concepts hard enough. This makes foundation math skills vital to help students successfully progress from algebra and progress into advanced math with self-confidence.</p>
<h2>How to Succeed in Algebra</h2>
<p>The algebra software on offer in the market today offer far more useful guidelines and help than what is included in formal textbooks, such as homework help, interactive tutorials, games and a worksheet tool or <b>graphing calculator</b>. The most useful software have all of these constituents &#8211; ease of use and covering of all the topics.</p>
<p>The learning tools are always useful for methods like text, audio, animation, video and games are put in to use. Schools and colleges require that students complete algebra courses from pre-algebra to algebra II. Important topics normally include: <b>Finding complement of an angle, composition of functions, finding type of polynomial, determine if line is horizontal</b></p>
<h2>How to Operate Algebra Software</h2>
<p>Some <b>algebraic software</b> would only show results, while some other (much more suitable for elementary algebra) show all the steps as well as explanations of mathematical rules that are in use. The most significant software feature from the students perspective is the ease of use. Thus, the software better be loaded with value added features like high quality and timely user support, embedded help options, and simply explained algebra wizards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where water (aab) is means name, language, land, arts and culture. There water makes merry go, that land is called Punjab. The land of five sisters<br />

2.	Chenab(ancient name Askini,)<br />
3.	Jhelam (ancient name Vitasta)<br />
4.	Ravi (ancient name Irawati,)<br />
5.	satluj (ancient name Shatadru)</p>
<p> All these five sisters take birth in high and hygiene Himalayas, and then play in open fields of Punjab, making this land of warriors full of joys. This, these have been doing since theirs births from pre historical ages to today in space age. The Punjab has become food grain basket of nation due to selflessness services of these unspoken sisters of Punjab. This Panj-aab (in Persian Panj means Five and aab means water) has impact on every aspects of lives, in water land of Indian subcontinent (Punjab is a geographical name to that land which is called playground of five sisters cutting across the physical barriers).These daughters of Himalayas has never taken partisan consideration on physical barriers to theirs services. This is an effort of abcnewsnetwork team in this part of world to make Pollution in surface water (Rivers), a public debate in Punjabi&#8217;s society, in theirs heritage, these five rivers are the life line of this joyful society. After so many years of services to theirs brethren, now they are praying for survival because of following elimination threats by theirs own.</p>

<p>Above statistics are from eastern Punjab (Indian), the situation is also worst in western Punjab (Pakistan).Following are highlights. <br />
1.	PAKISTAN: Focus on the slow death of the River Ravi</p>
<p>The wide variety of fish that once swam in the Ravi has vanished as have the tiny minnows and crabs children used to catch in the shallow waters along the banks. Even the reeds that used to line the river have gone. The river is virtually dead even when the normally dry bed carries water, such as after the recent winter rains.</p>
<p>The life that once thrived here has been killed off by the dumping of millions of tons of toxic industrial effluent in the water along with huge amounts of raw sewage. As the river has died, so has a facet of life in the city of Lahore has died too. The hordes of Sunday picnickers, rowing enthusiasts and the amateur fishermen have all gone. So have the boatmen who used to ferry people to the Mughul-age vantage point in the middle of the river known as &#8216;Kamran&#8217;s Baradari.&#8217; The extreme pollution of the River Ravi has destroyed most of the 42 species of fish that once lived in the river, as well as the bird life around it, which has migrated to other areas. The survival of small invertebrates, micro fauna and flora is also threatened Source: of IRIN report <br />
2. In Jhelum River the DO content remains well above 7 mg/l. The BOD downstream of Jhelum is around 2.2 mg/l. River Chenab receives pollution loads from many industries and cities. As a result the DO is totally depleted in various stretches. The BOD downstream of Faisalabad is 4.2 mg/l. The pollution in River Ravi is the highest of all the rivers in Pakistan. Most waste water discharges in the river reach between Lahore and Balloki, a length of 62 km. The river presently receives 47% of the total municipal and industrial pollution load discharged into all rivers of Pakistan. The BOD in the river after receiving Lahore municipal discharges is estimated to be 77 mg/l on the basis of mean annual flow. Between Lahore and Balloki under low flow conditions, the river is completely devoid of DO and simply acts as a sullage drain. Source: <a href="http://www.pcrwr." rel="nofollow">www.pcrwr.</a> <br />
3. The BOD in Indus River downstream of Attock is 2.9 mg/l. In Indus River water quality was studied at Dadu Moro Bridge at Kotri Barrage with nitrate levels at 1.1 and 7.5 mg/l, phosphate at 0.02 and 0.3 mg/l, BOD at 2.4 and 4.1 mg/l, faecal coliform at 50 and 400 per ml. Due to industrial waste discharges from Punjab and Sindh, the content of heavy metals such as nickel, lead, zinc and cadmium have also been found in Indus water. Source: <a href="http://www.pcrwr" rel="nofollow">www.pcrwr</a><br /> 4. Water quality of rivers in west Punjab (Pakistan) </p>

It is sad that water in these rivers has not remained fit for drinking and even not suitable for open bathing. Which is being common feather of rural Punjabis&#8217; culture, without it one can not taste the original flavor of this rich and joyful society. Once considered God equal status in Punjabi society the poor five sisters of Punjab has become place for every possible pollutants wastes of society ranging from domestic, agriculture&#8217;s, chemicals, Industrial wastes etc. Most of the big industrial units are located on the banks of rivers, it is done only to release theirs pollutants wastes into these Rivers because in this society it is common perception that &#8220;water wash every body&#8221; and Holly Ganga can wash all sins by one dip in it. In Pakistan side of Punjab in Lahore people on the banks of Ravi give meat to birds because the meat given to the birds is regarded as a religious ritual by many, just as feeding sparrows or ants are seen as deeds smiled upon by Allah (God). There is also a superstition that anyone feeding the kites and crows at the Ravi will receive good fortune. Thus this type of public opinion about purity of water benefits to all pollutants producers. So it is the responsibility of leading Punjabis intellectuals across the all physical barriers to draw attention of common Punjabis on these old perceptions about purity of running river water. Otherwise these five sisters of Punjab will die in the hands of theirs rich, joyful, and brave brethrens, who are well famous for theirs openness and helping nature in all around the globe. If there were no Chenab, no Jhelum, no Ravi, no satluj and no Beas; where Punjabis will celebrate baishikhi (take bath in rivers on first harvesting day), Bansant, And Lohri without this Punjabi brethrens can not remain as joyful for which they are famous. The Punjabi culture is live because of its openness and joyfulness. If there will no joys in it then, it will not remain Ideal for other to enjoy the life. Last not least Punjabis has a history to fight against odds in past. Every time they come out with more joy and experiences, so when their own sisters are calling them for survival then this community which has history of many wars and fights fought for other sake will not let down it owns.<br /> Dinesh Singh<br /> Special correspondent<br /> <a href="http://www.abcnewsnetwork.com" rel="nofollow">www.abcnewsnetwork.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Opinions of a special creation theory or other magical means of the earth&#8217;s beginning is absolutely dead! &#8220;Special Creation&#8221; is declared  to apply to the higher groups in addition to to the species of a genus, and even Mr. Darwin&#8217;s strongest critics dare to suggest that the primeval bird, reptile, or fish could have been &#8220;specially created.&#8221; This massive, this completely unprecedented change in public thought has been the effect of the influence of one man, and was played out in the short time of twenty years! This is the resolve to those who go on to assert that the &#8220;origin of species&#8221; is not yet ascertained.  We may admit this notion, just as we may admit that there are sizable difficulties in the means of a realized comprehension of the source and nature of all the parts of the solar system and  stellar universe. Yet we accredit Darwin as the Newton of natural history, just so surely as we admit that the uncovering and demonstration by Newton of the law of gravity established order in place of chaos and set a sure groundwork for all approaching study of the cosmos, so certainly has Darwin, by his discovery of the law of natural selection and his manifestation of the great theory of the preservation of functional variations in the struggle for life established a strong base for all potential study of nature.</p>
<p>Just to point out the attitude Darwin had of his study, and he alone postulated to have done, the concluding excerpt of the introduction to the Origin of Species ought to be carefully considered. &#8220;Although much remains obscure, and will long remain obscure, I can hold no doubt, after the most intentional and dispassionate judgment of which I am capable, that the opinion that many have held, including myself until recently &#8212; namely, that each species has been independently created &#8212; is erroneous. I am fully confident that species are not immutable; but that those belonging to the same genera are direct descendents of some other and generally extinct species, in the same way as the recognize varieties of any one species are the descendents of that species. Furthermore, I am confident that Natural Selection has been the most important, but not the only, means of modification.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer of the mesotheliumwill show a few primary symptoms.  The primary symptom of pleural mesothelioma is a lack of breath caused by pleural effusion &#8221; the accumulation of fluid in the pleura, or membrane, surrounding the lung. The second most common symptomis chest pain because the chest wall is being attacked by the tumor. Symptoms may also include fatigue, loss of weight and night sweats</p>
<p>The main indicator of patients with peritoneal mesothelioma, which originates in the abdomen, is abdominal swelling due to fluid buildup in the abdomen (a condition called ascites), bowel obstruction, and stomach pain.</p>
<p>It is important to note that these symptoms could be caused by a myriad of diseases or conditions. But if you have experienced any of these symptoms and have had asbestos exposure, you should see your doctor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mesotheliomainfoguide.com/">Peritoneal mesothelioma cancer</a> is problematic to diagnose, because many symptoms are also associated with less serious conditions. These symptoms include:</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Difficulty breathing</li>
<li>Lower back or chest pains from a buildup of fluid in the pleura</li>
<li>Fever</li>
<li>Nausea</li>
<li>Hoarseness</li>
<li>Difficulty swallowing</li>
<li>Spitting up blood</li>
</ul>
<p>Do not attempt self-diagnosis. People suffering from the above symptoms should remain calm and consult a doctor.  Performing a biopsy is the standard way to confirm the condition. A pathologist takes a small tissue sample from the suspicious area and performs an examination that will result in a very accurate diagnosis. Biopsies are generally not painful.</p>
<p>CT scans (Computed Tomography) are an option to avoid a biopsy. This is an X-ray procedure where a scanner takes many cross-sectional images as it rotates around the body. Once in a while, a dye is ingested by the patient to help define the images. CT scans might be advantageous because of their simplistic and non-invasive nature, and they are considered an effective way of diagnosing the disease. Opinions vary whether a CT scan or biopsy is cheaper. If there are irregularities, a biopsy may also be needed to know if the abnormality is a tumor, and if so, if the tumor is benign or malignant.   Pleural mesothelioma can also be diagnosed by testing a sample of fluid from the pleura for cancer cells.  </p>
<p>Any of these methods may also be used to screen for mesothelioma. Patients who may think they are at risk but do not display any symptoms are typically screened, to catch the cancer early or to make sure the patient is not otherwise in danger. Patients who have in their past inhaled asbestos, should be screened for mesothelioma.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Algebra &#8211; what is it?</h2>
<p>It is an domain of mathematics that use alphabetic characters in place of numbers to derive results for a given situation. It is this abstraction that often frightens many and thrills some.  topics of algebra extend by working through simple tasks such as factoring polynomials and eventually progressing on to finding the inverse of a matrix.  Most individuals start to try Algebra by adding, subtracting, reducing and simplifying fractions.  later on, they would move on to more advanced stages of solving algebraic equations using the <b> <a href="http://www.mathisradical.com/">least common multiples</a> </b> and <b>converting fractions in to decimals</b>.</p>
<h2>Oh no! It&#8217;s Exponents, Radicals and Graphing</h2>
<p>There are numerous advanced subjects.  Firstly there are exponents. A power is the tiny number placed to the right and slightly above a number or algebraic expression.  In this example (x + y)<sup>3</sup> where the 3 is the exponent and denotes the power to which that number is raised. The above algebraic expression is read, x plus y to the third power.  While working with exponents you will often come across exercises that require you to add, subtract, multiply and divide.  You can work with <b>rational and  <a href="http://www.algebra-tutoring.com/properties-negative-exponents-1.htm">negative exponents</a> </b>.  If that isn&#8217;t enough to make your head spin, then you can move on to radicals. A radical, simply put, is the reversing of an exponent.  The V beside 4 denote a radical expression which means, the  <a href="http://www.mathscitutor.com/simplified-form-of-a-square-root.html">square root</a>  of 4, which equals 2.  The contrary exponential equation is 2^2  which is read, 2 to the 2nd power, and equals 4.  Moreover, exponents can be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided by radicals. Radicals can be converted into exponents and powers back into radicals.  If powers and radicals aren&#8217;t enough, there is always graphing.  Start with graphing straight lines and deciding if the line is horizontal or vertical or something else.  Another question to ask is whether the line has an <b>x-intercept</b> or a <b>y-intercept</b>  Furthermore, try and see if you can find the slope of a line. After you master graphing lines, a whole world of circles, parabolas and hyperbolas awaits you!</p>
<h2>Need Help?</h2>
<p>If you are learning algebra and this all seems a little too much, don&#8217;t scratch.  It&#8217;s time to look around because there exists a wide array of resources that is able to help you master the subject area.  The custom is to decide on a math tutor, but the up-to-date <b>algebraic software</b> are no different. In fact, they are as good as math tutors. Know that frustration is not your only friend because any of these instruments can help you become an algebra guru in very little time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Algebra is  an area of mathematics that is often presented to students in Jr. High. As a matter of fact, many pupils find algebra as a tough subject area to understand. Algebra is one of the  <a href="http://www.pocketmath.net/dividing-complex-numbers.html">complex subdivisions of maths</a>  that takes the student through a study of structure, relation and quantity.</p>
<h2>Base Methods Employed in Algebra</h2>
<p>Although &#8216;variables&#8217; is one of the frequently used terms in computer science, this is first introduced in algebra. This is often used when <b>adding and subtracting radicals</b>. When adding or subtracting radicals the radicals essentially be the same order before you add or subtract them.</p>
<p>You can take the frustration out of getting the <b>least common denominator</b> by listing the multiples of each denominator and  <a href="http://www.mathsite.org/multiplying-and-dividing-complex-numbers-in-polar-form.html">dividing by</a>  2,3,4, and so on. After that you should look at the smallest number. An example is multiples of 5 are 10, 15, 20, 30. Multiples of 6 are 12, 18, 24, 30, and multiples of 15 are 30, 45, 60.  As you can see 30 is the smallest number that appears in the multiples list.<br />
You can easily reduce a fraction by finding a common factor in the numerator and denominator. A common factor is going to be a number that will evenly divide into both numbers. As an example 3 is a common factor for 6 and 12. Three will equally divide into 6 and into 12. You could also look at 2 being a common factor for 4 and 14. The same division procedure needs to be repeatedly performed until there are no common  <a href="http://www.algebra-tutoring.com/">factors left</a> . This can also be done by finding the greatest common factor of both the numerator and the denominator. You will divide the numerator and the denominator by the <b>greatest common factor</b> instead of the common factor.</p>
<h2>Getting Good with Algebra</h2>
<p>Sometime you might find difficulties getting along with algebra and can&#8217;t seem to find the answer you need. In this case, an <b>algebra problem solver</b>, typically a software program, will be an ideal resolution for getting aid. With an <b>algebra problem solver</b> you will have the opportunity to input your figures and your problem will be solved immediately. Having access to an algebra problem solver can mean the difference in passing or failing. Most pupils cannot afford a tutor and they might not be available when you need them at times. With an <b>algebra software package</b> you will have access to the answers you need, anytime you need them.</p>
