How to solve these problems ? (mathematics)?
An aircraft flew a distance of x km from Amsterdam to Cairo at an average speed of 820 km/h and returned non-stop by the same route at an average speed of 656 km/h. Given that the aircraft took 1 hour more for the return trip, calculate x. A coach took 7/2 hours to travel a distance of 240km from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands. It travelled part of the journey at an average speed of 60 km/h and the rest of the journey at 75 km/h. Calculate the distance it travelled at 60km/h. The distance from Amy's house to the nearest bus-stop is 240 m. On a particular day, Amy walks towards the bus-stop at an average speed of 30 meters per minute from the instant the leaves her house. After walking for a distance of x m, Amy sees her bus approaching. She then runs towards the bus-stop at an average speed of 150 metres per minute. (a) Finds, in terms of x, an expression for (i) the distance that Amy runs in metres, (ii) the number of minutes that Amy walks, (iii) the number if minutes that Amy runs. (b) Given that the time taken by Amy to reach the bus-stop is 6 minutes, find the value of x. To reach his office on time, Mr Chin usually drives to work at an average speed of 75km/h. However, if Mr Chin increases his average driving speed by 5 km/h, he will reach his office 10 minutes earlier. If the distance Mr Chin needs to travel to reach his office is represented by x km, form an equation in x and solve for x. The follwing diagram shows a rectangular tank and two taps A and B. Tap A alone can fill the tank in 4 hours while tap B alone can fill the tank in 6 hours. taps A and B together can fill the tank in 1 minutes. Form an equaion in t and solve it to find the time, t, in minutes, taps A and B together would take to fill the tank.

i think the first one will be: x=vt x=820t x=656(t+1) so 820t-656t-656=0 164t=656 t=t h and x=820*4=3280 km

Some kindergartens are such lame! why
Some kindergartens are such lame! why?
hi, some of u may know that im a male kindergarten teacher from kuala lumpur, malaysia. my question is why some kindergartens (mostly all kindys) cant or wont hire male? please read it! it may sounds interesting after u read it! when i was unemployed, i called several calls from the kindergarents that wants to hire a teacher but as soon as i called, they said something that hurted me like "we cant hire male", "we wont hire male", "oh,so u the one who wants to become the teacher? sorry, we cant hire male worker" etc. AND the worse one is "we cant hire male . cause male dont have the love and care that a female can give to children!" whoa! thats just hurted me so much! after a few weeks, i saw a vacancy to hire a kindy teacher but i gave up cause i think they wont hire me like the previous one. but suddenly,a wind just blew me and i just changed my mind and called the kindy and the principal would like to meet me in person. so i went there and he said to me, "whoa! after hearing what u had said, u are quite impressed me! u love children a lot and u love teaching a lot too. i can see that u are a responsible and hardworking type of person. i hired a few teachers before (all females) and they just quite after a few months! i believe that u can work even longer!" i was like, "omg"! this is something that i wont expect a principal would told me but i was happy and im still happy right now. so, back to the question. why do u think some of the kindergartens or principals wont hire male? and what u think of it? a former male teacher (a year) a current male kindergarten teacher ( a year)

It's unfortunate in todays society that male kindergarten teachers are not given the same opportunities as female teachers. Unfortunately, a lot of it has to do with the reputation that males have developed in society. Young children are often told that males are "strangers" and not to go near them, especially if they are little girls, because their parents are worried about rape, molestation, kidnapping, etc. Also, many young children feel uncomfortable around all adult males, and that makes it even more difficult for males to get hired as kindergarten teachers. Parents often are concerned that males will not be as nurturing as female kindergarten teachers, or that their children might be touched inappropriately by a male teacher. Some parents are skiddish and just don't want to leave their children with a male adult. Unfortunately a "few bad eggs" have ruined it for most male kindergarten teachers. Personally, I think there are just as many awful female teachers as there are male teachers, and female teachers are just as abusive in many cases (all though we rarely hear about them). I knew a guy who taught 2 year olds, and he was the best teacher that the class ever had. Once the male builds the kids trust, the parents trust follows soon there after. It's unfortunate they are discriminated against.

it is most likely the age, because they-the kindies, havent' really been away from their mothers at all since they were born, they-the people in charge of hiring probably see female teachers as being more nurturing like mom would be to kids at that age. So it is probably a mothery concept and nothing personal that affects their decision. Stereotypical I know but it may be why I don't know.

There is definitely stereotyping going on there! That is why it is hard for a male to get employed as a Teacher. It should not matter what gender, race or age…… a person is if they are qualified and able to do the job. If you continue to have these problems and still want to work with children than I would suggest you think about working on another career; in health care you can specialize in an area where you will be assisting children. I feel the only way you will be happy and comfortable as a Teacher is to move to the United States where it is against the law to discriminate on anyone because of their race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or disability. I feel so sorry for you. Maybe you can spend some of your free time on researching on how to change or make a new law in your country. Good luck sweetie. : )

Why would Iran do this
Why would Iran do this?
Isn't their government based on Islamic principles? Malaysia scraps Nobel laureate's speech October 22, 2008 - 7:12PM Malaysia has scrapped an invitation for Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi to deliver a speech about Islam because of pressure from Iranian diplomats who warned the event could hurt bilateral ties, an official said. Ebadi, who won the peace prize in 2003 for her work advocating greater rights for women and children in Iran, has often been at odds with her country's hard-line government. Tehran has banned her Centre for Protecting Human Rights in 2006, claiming it did not have a permit. Ebadi had agreed to give a speech titled "Islam and Cultural Diversity" at Kuala Lumpur's University of Malaya on Nov. 3, but the Malaysian Foreign Ministry sent a letter to organisers last month "strongly advising" them not to host her, an organisers official said. A Foreign Ministry official in the department that sent the letter said he had no immediate comment. The official cannot be named because of ministry guidelines. "We were told there would be big implications for bilateral relations," the organisers official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "Our hands were tied. The invitation for her to speak had to be withdrawn." Organisers were informed that the Iranian Embassy had objected to the planned speech and "were pushing for Malaysia to call it off," the organisers official said. They were also warned that Iranian university students living in Malaysia may hold protests in Ebadi's presence. The speech was supposed to kick off a series of talks in Malaysia and Thailand over the next few months initiated by the Vienna-based International Peace Foundation. Other speakers will include U.S. civil rights speaker Jesse Jackson and East Timor's President Jose Ramos-Horta. Ebadi was among the first women judges in Iran, before being removed from her job after the Islamic revolution in 1979. She has since become an attorney and a human rights activist known for taking up cases of dissident figures. The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran denounced the decision to cancel Ebadi's speech, accusing Tehran of using "all its might to muzzle Dr. Ebadi and her human rights advocacy inside Iran." "It is extremely disturbing that now the Malaysian government is doing the same on behalf of the Iranian government," the Vienna-based group said in a statement this week. http://news.smh.com.au/world/malaysia-scraps-nobel-laureates-speech-20081022-56a3.html

It isn't surprising. Iran is a Shiite country, and not Sunni, so Shirin Ebadi might talk about some stuff that is against Shiites or something negative about them. Iran's government might claim to be based on Islamic principles, when in fact they aren't. It's just punch of nonsense from them.
2 :
Isn't it amazing how the above poster blames the Shias? In fact, (strict) Shia Islam is more lenient than (strict) Sunni Islam. If anything, Ebadi would offend Sunnism more. But blame the Jews as always. These stuff happen in all Muslim countries in the name of Islam. But Allah's plausible deniability is limitless.

Perhaps they actually ARE following Islam.

Iran's government claims to be an Islamic. They talk about Islam but the government them self don't follow many Islamic principles.. As in any other country if there is someone who is going to talk against their will she would be ebanned from speaking Iran is of no exception
