I have begun scanning all of my paper bound books to pdf, many with color illustrations, sort of as a back up. Some of them are like 40 mb files (800 pg textbooks) How much should I compress them to store them on my kindle?

A few years ago, I stumbled across a website devoted to the idea of the USA and the UK uniting. It even had a US/UK flag. I have since lost the link and can't find the organization. Does anyone know of a group that encourages this union, and what is its name/website

I have a best mate named christopher, and a sister named samantha. Chrisopher and samantha are 18 and i'm 20. Samantha lives with me and mum, because she doesn't want either of us moving out and leaving her alone. this happened yesterday, and I cant get it off my chest. Anyways, today I went grocery shopping with my mum, and my mate came over yesterday because he wanted to help re-plaster the ceiling. Me and mum left for a quick grocery shopping. Before I get into the problem, I just wanted to say, that Me, and my sister, are really close, we get along really well, and I watch after her all the time, and care for her alot. When I asked sam if she wanted to come, she said she wanted to stay home, and I asked chris if he'll be all right for a while, and he just said yes. When we got home about an hour later, I was helping mum cook, and unpack the groceries, and mum told me to call sam down to do laundry for her, when I went upstairs, the door was half open, and I heard them saying "dont tell ben, because it'll ruin our friendship, and relation" Once they stopped talking, I looked in, and they started hugging and making out. I talked to my mum about it, and she told me that she doesn't want samantha making out with my best mate, and my mum told me to go break it up. I told my mum that I can't because sam looks really happy, and it'll hurt our relationship as well, and my mum wanted me to break them up anyway. Should I leave them alone and lie to my mum that I did? My mums really pissed, but she wanted to me to tell her what they were doing, and she could tell if I'm lying.

If the initial upward speed of the ball is 10m/s, and the ball is released at a height of 1.5m above the floor, determine the maximum height above the floor that the ball thrown by Christine reaches. (a) construct a particular model of the entire physical process, with the initial time when the ball leaves Christine's hand, and the final time when the ball is 4 meters above the floor headed down. (b) Divide the overall process into two physical processes by constructing two energy diagram s and applying energy conservation for each, one diagram for the interval corresponding to the ball traveling from Christine's hand to the maximum height, and the other corresponding to the interval for the ball traveling from the maximum height to 4 meters above the floor headed down. (c) Did you get different answers in parts a and b for the speed of the ball when it is 4 meters above the floor headed down? if we assume that y=0 is where Christine releases the ball (still 1.5 meters above the floor) will this change the maximum height above the floor attained by the ball?

invite her i have this person who is like a semi friend she was so NICE FUNNY AND KIND to begin with but she is l8ly getting on my nerve and she takes things way to seriously and copy's me in fashion, attached and dislikes and likes all the time but she is so defending like if u say something like its not my phone cracking she will say it must be because mine never does O_o i just jocked about that and screamed it is a message from god OH MY GOSH and she is a attending seeker i don't want to be mean and she kind of expects to be invite because she thinks she is one of my be besties and i am inviting people that i know a little bit but not a whole lot like this guy in my drama group and a guy that i meet through my music teacher my neighbours grandson my besties from school my besties from my old school but so far there is about 10 or 11 people i plan to invite i am scared though because i don't know how to break it to her i can't just give 10 people invites and say nothing but i don;t want to invite her ya know help thanks
