Difference between Area, circumference, volume, length
Length answers the question, how long is a line? It relates to distance. Your answer is normally given in meter or inches/feet or some associated form. A street or highway is measured in miles or kilometers. the length of a table is normally in feet. The perimeter is the length of all the sides of any shape. If you could add the length of the sides of the triangle, rectangle, or any shape - the sum is the perimeter. The circumference is the equivalent of the perimeter in a circular shape. For example, if you could cover the border of the circle with a string, then straighten the string and measure its length, that would give me the circumference. There is a simple mathematical way to do it - without a string - there is a formula for this. All you would need is to find the diameter of the circle. That is an imaginary line that goes from one border of the circle to the opposite side passing through the center.
The area is how space a particular shape has. It is normally expressed in squared units, that is square feet, square miles. Some time it is said that a lot of land is whatever acres. Acres is a certain amount of square feet. It is square because it is normally found by multiplying the length by the width. So the units whether feet or meter is elevated to the second power exponential. It just means, that the number is result of a multiplication. For this discussion and in simple terms, it means that the measurement is not a straight line, but a shape ( this may not apply for all squared units). For circles there is a special formula to find the area. Why would you want the area of a circle, well if you are building a circular pool or pond you need to know how much is the area. Area is in two dimensions.
Volume is also the amount of space but in three dimensions: length, width and depth. Sometimes is length, height and depth; or length, width, and height. Either way it is a cubic number, because it is the product of three numbers (multiplied). Lets say you have a book case, you want to know if it will fit in your room. First, you go for the length. Will it fit against the wall. Or will you have enough space in your wall to fit. The next thing is how high. How tall is your book case? Will it fit below your ceiling? If you multiply these tow numbers you end up with the area on the wall the Bookcase will occupy. But now you want to know how far from the wall (to the floor) will the bookcase go. Now we are talking depth. If you multiply the three numbers you end up with volume. Normally, you do not need volume for bookcases, but if I the bookcase was to be out of plastic and we close up the front part of it, we now have a tank. In this tank we may put water, milk, or gas. The volume would tell us how many gallons or liters of liquid we could put in this tank. Gallons equals a certain amount of cubic inches, and liters equals a certain amount of cubic meters.

How do you say artichoke in Spanish?
Finding the answer to this question, I found an interesting tip. I knew exactly what to do to get the answer, but never thought that others could benefit from my knowledge. Indeed, I went to google. Entered artichoke, and pressed search. Right under the search area there is a blue bar that contains how many websites with the word artichoke Google found. just to the right of that there is a limk for the word definition. Cliking on this takes you to answers.com entry for artichoke from several sources. When you scroll down the page, you can see translation for the word in several languages. Spanish is one such language. For Artichoke it is alcachofa. So when you go to the Mexican produce store you know how to ask for it. Buen Provecho.
Ps. This works for most English words.

Movies I Have Viewed
This question is always asked, "Have you seen a good movie lately?" Check our my lense, you will see have a gpretty good idea of what I have seen.
How To Create A Resume
Somebody asked me the question. There is a lens for my answer.
Newborn Screening
The question "What do you do?" comes up frequently. Now I can perhaps tell them to check out my lens on Newborn Screening. I think you will get a pretty good picture.
What Is Going On This Day
What Is Going On This Day is a lens with a collection of headlines from different newsources. Also there is a couple of links to a weather website and to a traffic website, among othet items.
My Lenses
I have been busy creating lenses. A lense is a web-page where I give you my view or perspective on a subject on the Internet. I do this by creating a list of link, syndication feeds, or other kinds of data. You go to my page and you will find what you need to know on a subject from my perspective. Let's say you ask me "what do I know about a subject, " I do some research online, and put it all on this page. You go perview my lense, and "bongo." You know what you need to know about it, using my expertise. Want to know about MP3's? Go to What Is MP3?. As you can see, the page is hosted by Squidoo. This is the company that not only hosts these lenses, but the people behind it created this concept, of Lenses. Check out my other lenses as well.

The Top Ten Myths of Marriage
I just thought I share this nugget. This may sound like a Christian source, but it is from a secular source. I hope it is helpful. Share with others.

The Top Ten Myths of Marriage
David Popenoe
1. Marriage benefits men much more than women.
Contrary to earlier and widely publicized reports, recent research finds men and women to benefit about equally from marriage, although in different ways. Both men and women live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives when they are married. Husbands typically gain greater health benefits while wives gain greater financial advantages.
2. Having children typically brings a married couple closer together and increases marital happiness.
Many studies have shown that the arrival of the first baby commonly has the effect of pushing the mother and father farther apart, and bringing stress to the marriage. However, couples with children have a slightly lower rate of divorce than childless couples.
3. The keys to long-term marital success are good luck and romantic love.
Rather than luck and love, the most common reasons couples give for their long-term marital success are commitment and companionship. They define their marriage as a creation that has taken hard work, dedication and commitment (to each other and to the institution of marriage). The happiest couples are friends who share lives and are compatible in interests and values.
4. The more educated a woman becomes, the lower are her chances of getting married.
A recent study based on marriage rates in the mid-1990s concluded that today’s women college graduates are more likely to marry than their non-college peers, despite their older age at first marriage. This is a change from the past, when women with more education were less likely to marry.
5. Couples who live together before marriage, and are thus able to test how well suited they are for each other, have more satisfying and longer-lasting marriages than couples who do not.
Many studies have found that those who live together before marriage have less satisfying marriages and a considerably higher chance of eventually breaking up. One reason is that people who cohabit may be more skittish of commitment and more likely to call it quits when problems arise. But in addition, the very act of living together may lead to attitudes that make happy marriages more difficult. The findings of one recent study, for example, suggest "there may be less motivation for cohabiting partners to develop their conflict resolution and support skills." (One important exception: cohabiting couples who are already planning to marry each other in the near future have just as good a chance at staying together as couples who don’t live together before marriage).
6. People can’t be expected to stay in a marriage for a lifetime as they did in the past because we live so much longer today.
Unless our comparison goes back a hundred years, there is no basis for this belief. The enormous increase in longevity is due mainly to a steep reduction in infant mortality. And while adults today can expect to live a little longer than their grandparents, they also marry at a later age. The life span of a typical, divorce-free marriage, therefore, has not changed much in the past fifty years. Also, many couples call it quits long before they get to a significant anniversary: half of all divorces take place by the seventh year of a marriage.
7. Marrying puts a woman at greater risk of domestic violence than if she remains single.
Contrary to the proposition that for men "a marriage license is a hitting license," a large body of research shows that being unmarried—and especially living with a man outside of marriage—is associated with a considerably higher risk of domestic violence for women. One reason for this finding is that married women may significantly underreport domestic violence. Further, women are less likely to marry and more likely to divorce a man who is violent. Yet it is probably also the case that married men are less likely to commit domestic violence because they are more invested in their wives’ wellbeing, and more integrated into the extended family and community. These social forces seem to help check men’s violent behavior.
8. Married people have less satisfying sex lives, and less sex, than single people.
According to a large-scale national study, married people have both more and better sex than do their unmarried counterparts. Not only do they have sex more often but they enjoy it more, both physically and emotionally.
9. Cohabitation is just like marriage, but without "the piece of paper."
Cohabitation typically does not bring the benefits—in physical health, wealth, and emotional wellbeing—that marriage does. In terms of these benefits cohabitants in the United States more closely resemble singles than married couples. This is due, in part, to the fact that cohabitants tend not to be as committed as married couples, and they are more oriented toward their own personal autonomy and less to the wellbeing of their partner.
10. Because of the high divorce rate, which weeds out the unhappy marriages, people who stay married have happier marriages than people did in the past when everyone stuck it out, no matter how bad the marriage.
According to what people have reported in several large national surveys, the general level of happiness in marriages has not increased and probably has declined slightly. Some studies have found in recent marriages, compared to those of twenty or thirty years ago, significantly more work-related stress, more marital conflict and less marital interaction.
