In Middle Earth Why Did Balin Try to Reconquer Moria, Even If He Knew That Durinu2019s Bane Was Ther

First, the dwarves are greedy. Its in their nature to accumulate material wealth, and Moria is potentially the richest source of material wealth in the world, being he only known source of mithril, the now-priceless metal. The dwarves were always going to reopen that mine.

Second, Moria was also Khazad-Dum, the most ancient and greatest of dwarf cities, and the desire to return there must have been overwhelming to all dwarves, especially to those of Durins house who were he originators of the city. And finally, since no one actually knew what Durins Bane was, no one could know if it was still in Moria anymore. Maybe it had died, maybe it had left, who could know without looking?

In retrospect, it seems like a pretty bad idea all told. The one thing everyone knew about Moria is that there were a lot of orcs there, even if Durins Bane was gone. Evidently Balin just couldnt resist the lure of it

How did you pay for college without your parents' help? How hard/easy was it for you?

I paid for my first nursing degree by working as a seamstress and printing pictures at a local photo company.

It was difficult. My parents were immigrants and did not believe a woman should obtain a college degree. They thought I should get married and have children.

That wasnt going to happen. I often memoriezed facts by pinning a paper to the curtain above my sewing machine and glancing up at it. I would make just enough per semester to continue on.

Im sure I would have gotten better grades had I not had to attend college this way but I finished on time. My second degree I also paid for while I was working as a nurse, so it was easier financially. Now college is much mire expensive but there are scholarships and financial aid out there.

Just make sure you meet with a guidance counselor and financial aid person so that you dont accumulate debt that you can not afford. Good luck.

What words have changed the most in meaning during your lifetime?

Gender.Now this is a word that is in a stage of transition for many conventional people out there. For a long time our gender has just been representing our genitals.

It was confined to our physicality.So when you ask anybody Whats yours gender? , you are basically asking What genitals do you have?

The only way doctors decide whether its a girl or a boy is by having a look at their genitals! And thats it! You got a label forever.

But the word Gender has grown with time. Its not about your body anymore. Its about how do you feel about your body.

Its about what do you want to be. Its about taking a control over your body and then deciding what your gender is.Gender is no longer a stereotypical physical term.

Its more of a psychological term now. It has grown with time and has found its true meaning.Its time that we decide our gender and our genitals dont.

Why were the dinosaurs not as intelligent as humans are? Human being have evolved for about 40,000 years but why dinosaurs could not evolve as much as ours in 160 million years?

Evolution is not goal-directed. There is no force or pressure to evolve towards greater intelligence or any other goal you are likely to identify.Every gene behaves as if it has a goal to replicate itself, but for every gene, the vast, overwhelmingly most likely method used is just the one that was used by its ancestors.

We consider intelligence to be central to our success and to what it means to be human, and we now know that the theory of evolution can explain the long sequence of events that led to our evolution as an intelligent species. But that explanation never needs to state that at some point in the past evolution tried to optimize our intelligence.To a large degree, we became more intelligent through a long series of fortunate coincidences.

Dinosaurs became successful at surviving and replicating without any (or at least most) of those coincidences. They did have a very primitive brain, but that brain served their needs well enough that there was never significant evolutionary pressure to favor a more intelligent brain

What uncommon event led to your disease diagnosis?

Blood tests done because I was nauseated, not hungry and excessively tired recently revealed I had some strangely high liver enzyme values (one value that has a normal maximum of 40 was over 1,000) and a very low potassium level.

Once we established that I had not been washing down bottles of acetaminopen with 40-ouncers of liquor, I was tested for various liver ailments (the hepatitis group, mono, Lyme disease and others) and results all came back negative. However, just before these strange liver and potassium levels appeared, I had been prescribed a one-week course of a fluoroquinolone antibiotic for a suspected kidney infection. This group of antibiotics is listed in the medical literature as having a 1.

4 percent reported risk of liver injury that, at its most severe, can be fatal. My blood values and the absence of a positive test result to a large number of other possible disease culprits makes the antibiotic the likely cause. My elevated liver values have begun dropping, and I am following a be kind to your liver protocol pending a return to full hepatic health
