So i have a question about homework. No, I'm not trying to get anyone to give me an answer.. I'm just confused as to how Karl Marx's theory of economic crisis affects us today. Ive been reading up on it for the past two days, even watching youtube videos and I still dont understand it completely.. My paper is supposed to have us explain how a couple of his theories apply to us today.. and I wrote about the economic recession we are in today and im trying to apply it to Marx's theory of economic crisis
Simply put, I wrote about how machinery (constant capital) is slowly replacing living workers in the workplace.. which reduces the amount of wages that companys need to pay their workers.. which increases surplus value... but i dont exactly understand HOW this increase of surplus value is bad for the economy. In simplest termsm, what causes the rise of profit to fall? That's where I'm lost.. I just need a general explanation but whenever I read up on it I get lost because I"m not familiar with all these terms...
can someone break it down for me please? ANd maybe give me some examples of whats going on in America today in relevance to his theory, in order for me to better understand it? (link)

I studied Political ideologies for 2 years at college, but I sort of skimmed over Karl Marx and communism because it was such a big topic! So I may miss the mark completely, but Ive seen this question up 4 times or so, so i thought I should give it a shot.
Karl Marx wrote mainly about capitalism, in the form of a critique. So if surplus value increased (i.e. profit) it doesn't so much affect the economy, but makes business owners 'greedy' so to speak. It also allows the capitalist owner to make more money by paying the Labourer much less than they could. These things can lead to bad decisions (Banks, greed, etc) which may in turn affect the economy.
Marx was also ahead of his time on issues such as Globalisation (UN, EU, world trade etc). He was also right with the issue of differences in society being based on economic structure. But be sure to also point out what he was wrong with i.e. he was over idealistic when it came to predicting the unity of the working class.
In reference to Marx + his theory of economic crises, there are many links about this. I googled:
"Marx economic crises theory"
...and got a wealth of information.
Here is a wikipedia page, which i just found, and described what I did earlier, maybe more clearer though:

I'm getting married at the end of September, and we've chosen a beautiful conservation area as our location. There's a large area around the building we get to use, and we're hoping to have a little fun with this.
The wedding will be about 90 people of all age groups. Dress is smart casual (think stuff you'd wear to a golf course) and we're going for a very casual feel: daytime ceremony, finger foods for lunch, no alcohol.
I'm trying to find ways to keep everyone occupied for the day, but not being very successful! The standard seems to be dancing, but we want to steer clear of the traditional. We want to try to keep it outside if possible because of the beautiful area, but we also need ways to keep people occupied inside if the weather is awful.
So far we've thought of having things like croquet and lawn bowling, but we're sort of stuck on other activities, especially the inside sort. Any ideas? (link)
|
I dont think i may be of much help, but i have 1 idea:
Maybe horses outside? If the proprietors done mind. Fun for the children, and of all ages :)

I'm M/16. This summer I've been having trouble falling asleep. BUT when I eventually fall asleep I get about 10 hours of sleep. The main thing is that I "Go to bed" around 4AM, but I can't fall asleep for like an hour. School starts next month and I can't keep this habit. (link)
|
Of course you want to get your sleeping pattern sorted before school starts, Heres some tips:
- Put your alarm on for the time you want to wake up. So if you go to bed at 4, and want to wake up at 7/8, put your alarm on for then, and wake up then. The next day, you will feel really tired, so go to sleep at around 10/11pm, and wake up again at 7 (or whatever time). This will slowly get you in the cycle.
- When your alarm goes off, stretch your whole body out, and get up straight away. If you think "just 10 minutes wont hurt" or what i usually do, "Just 20 seconds...1...2...3...zzzzzzzzzz", ignore the thoughts and get up.
- When waking up, make your bed straight away: This activity will wake your body up.
- Put your alarm on, quite far away. So for example, I put my alarm on my desk, and so i have to get out of bed and walk over to it to switch it off. By the time you have walked over and switched it off, you're up and awake.
- Try to have atleast 2 alarms on. Phone alarms aren't as good, because you usually keep your phone close to you, and its not as loud. I put my phone alarm on for 5:25, and my main alarm (on my desk) for 5:30, as this is the time i want to wake up. The point of putting the earlier one on, is to wake me up a little, so that i'm not shocked and half asleep when my main alarm goes off.
- Invest in a good alarm clock. They're not that expensive: maybe $5/10 from a local store. Nothing fancy if you cant afford it
- Try to do some exercise during the day: this will use up some energy so you don't lie in bed not knowing what to do.
- Have a shower/bath before going to bed: It will help you to relax.
- As "womanly" as it sounds, buy some lavender oil, and put a little on your pillows. Lavender has been proven to relax you, aiding a restful sleep.
- Buy some chamomile tea, and drink it just before bed. Its naturally caffeine free, and also helps your body + mind to relax.
- Keep a good book by your bedside. Or a magazine. If you lie in bed for about 25 minutes and you still cant sleep, read, or get up and give your room a clean, or something. This activity will help you to relax.
- Make sure you get atleast 6 hours of sleep. If you sleep for 8/9+ hours, it can be bad for your body, as can 5hours or less. Aim for 6/7.
- Your diet can prevent you from getting a good nights sleep: eat healthily, and avoid heavy meals, oily/junk food, sodas, coffee, or caffeinated tea a few hours before bed.
- Avoid the use of nicotine or alcohol before bed.
In short, what you need to do, is start waking up early. This will keep you tired, throughout the next day, which in turn will help you to sleep earlier, and if you wake up early that day, you will hopefully kick the habit of late nights.
Hope i helped :)

I am 14 and like my stepbrother who is 16. I've known him for a year and has begun to have feelings for him now. I do not live together with him but on holidays I go to my dad and I live in the same apartment as he. I also have a big sister who is 16 and I get jealous of her when he even talks to her or laughing together. How can I tell if he likes me? We usually have fun together but my sister is often with us. He is sometimes touching my hair and pull his fingers through it. he always tickle me in the waist so I laugh and he is much stronger than me, though he is quite narrow, and he used to challenge me to get past him. Does he like me as a step-sister or friend, or more than that? (link)
|
Even if he did like you, it wouldn't matter because he's your brother! Granted he's a step brother, but the key word is Brother. Also, you shouldn't be jealous of your sister and brother talking! I know it must be hard for you, but its the only thing you can do.
You cannot act on these feelings: they are wrong. Some people on this website may disagree with me, but I believe the best thing to do is ignore your feelings, and just get over it, as frank as it sounds.
Hope i helped :)

Need a lock box to keep weed in i need a cheapish small box that has a sturdy key any suggestions. (link)

Although i dont condone the use of any drug, I use the Helix brand of lock boxes for my spare change. Its made of heavy, sturdy metal, and comes with 2 keys.

I cant go outside, itss too hot and I cant go to the gym (link)
|
Some domestic chores such as cleaning are good forms of exercise.
You could also dance (using the whole body, no matter how 'crazy' you think you look!)
Do you own something like a Wii? You could try Wii sports, the Wii fit, or games such as Zumba.
There are many Workout DVDs you can buy, but they are only worth buying if you will do them.
Walking up and down stairs can really get your heart racing, but its much harder than you may think! Try doing it for 10 minutes or so.
If you are in the financial position to, you could buy some home-gym equipment. But space is required, as well as money. An inflatable exercise ball however, is good as you can easily deflate it, and it isn't too expensive.
Jumping rope (skipping) is excellent exercise. If you have high ceilings, this is definitely a good workout.
Hope I helped, and good luck! :)

So, most of my life, I've always been a very angry person. I can't help it, it's just the smallest things set me off. If a teacher tells me that I'm screwing around, and I know I am, I get ticked off. I mean, I don't throw things or get violent. With teachers anyway. I used to be very violent when it came to my family and my sister and I used to get into violent fights, enough so that we hurt each other badly. It doesn't happen anymore, thank God. Shortly after middle school, I decided that I needed to force myself to calm down and stop getting angry.
So whenever something made me angry, I held it in and brushed it off. If someone made fun of me or tried to hurt me or whatever, I just held it all in. It's been working very well. Up until the beginning of this summer. I can't hold it in anymore and I just explode at everything and it's driving me nuts because I don't want to be an angry person. I want to be a laidback person, but it's hard when my temper flares up. Basically, I'm wondering why I'm so angry. Could it be herediary or maybe it's some of the weird habits I have?
(Habits meaning that I'm relatively introverted, I don't get much sleep, I've been watching horror movies since I was 4, etc.) (link)
|
All the things you have listed can make someone an angry person. A lack of sleep can make you cranky, and it also changes how your body functions, and so that can make you feel worse. You need at least 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Failure to do so can lead to heart problems later on in life.
Im not sure about the effect of horror movies: At aged 4 you really shouldn't watch movies like that because you are very susceptible to what you see. Whether it leads to anger as such, I don't know.
In reference to it being hereditary, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that is a mother is an angry person during her pregnancy, the baby gets used to the hormone released, and can lead to "free-flowing rage" in later life, which simply put, means that the baby (you) can get very angry, very quickly, for no apparent reason in later life. This is something that you cant really fully attribute your behaviour to however- its relatively new evidence.
You say you bottle your anger in: This can be quite bad. Imagine a bottle with pressure in. If you don't allow the bottle to open to sometimes, slowly release the pressure, it will explode with disastrous consequences. The thing you need to do is to channel your rage in a positive manner. This can be done with exercise, or a hobby. I know a friend who gets relatively ticked off easily, but runs daily to let that rage and energy out. What you don't want to do is explode at people over the slightest thing: Its unhealthy, and unfair.
Alternatively, you could see a psychiatrist, or take anger management classes. This may be easy for you as you have already admitted that you have a rage problem, and that you want help. I know anger management works well, some people even go through hypnosis for anger management. I think the best thing would be to ask friends/family/ about a psychiatrist, or see the school councillor. Many even have websites, or you could check the phone book. Give them a call and see what they can offer you (in regards to pricing etc). I know seeing a 'shrink' may not be the ideal situation, but if all else fails, why not? Its confidential, and they are there to help people. You shouldn't feel like some sort of 'freak' though, just because you have to see a psychiatrist, or councillor. My good friend had a problem with family, and was just generally unhappy. I pleaded with her to see our school councillor but she didn't. Eventually, i signed her up without her knowing. She then thanked me for doing so, because it just gave her someone to talk to, and someone that was there to listen, and give advice. Although you may not think that its the best thing for you to do, it may be in your best interest to do so.
I hope I helped, and good luck! :)

Let me first start by explaining the situation. I am almost 29 years old. When I was 24, I met my kids father. We instantly fell in love and were married. 3 months later. Not the best thing I couldv'e done, but I can't change it now. Anyhow long story short. Husband was in the Navy at the time and came to live w me at my parents house which was suposed to be temporary, but ended up being permanent, as he proved to be immature and a frivolous spender, even though I had a baby his priorities didn't change. We could never move out because we could never save money. I ended up divorcing him. Now I'm planning on using my next tax refund to go towards the moving costs, and what not. My issue is that my dad and my 3 yr old son are very close. I'm not sure how to introduce the idea of us moving out to my son and make him understand and accept it. I know he's going to have a hard time. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? (link)

Like the answerer below has said, You need to let him know in a childish way. 3 is a very difficult age. You need to really let him know that its a good thing, and how it will benefit him. When you tell him, let Grandpa be there. Explain how your moving into a new home, where he will have a nice room that he can help decorate and have all the space he can have. Obviously dont make a promise you cant keep e.g. "You can have a pet" or "you can have all the toys you want" if you can't keep them. But it is something you have to do, and explain how Grandpa will come and visit, and how he will still see him. He will (as harsh as it sounds) have to get used to it either way, but don't get upset when you tell him: Sound happy and cheerful. If you get upset, he'll get upset.

i just started this tough exercise called insanity (i'm sure you've all heard it) and it consists of a lot of cardio and bending down. my lower back has started to hurt and cramp a lot. i'm just wondering, is it normal for a back cramp to start traveling to the legs? i have a bad cramp on the lower right side of my back and the sensation's been kind of traveling to my right leg a lil bit. just wondering if that's normal or not, thanks :) (link)

When doing excercise, you must always stretch, just incase you pull a muscle. This is fairly easy, and you should spend about 10-20minutes or so stretching before and after excercise, longer if its cold.
If you don't stretch, like i said you can pull a muscle: The muscle is relaxed and normal and when you suddenly move in an awkward position or something, the muscle almost gets shocked and can tear. Stretching before helps the muscle get used to the upcoming activity, and stretches it out to prevent pain. Stretching after helps to calm the body down after a heavy workout, and gets it back (slowly) to the normal feeling. Not doing so will almost shock the body as you are going from crazy hardcore excercise, to nothingness.
So yeah, stretch. And if you still feel the pain, painkillers, or some sort of heat spray such as deep heat may work. Alternatively, see a doctor.
Hope i helped :)

I want to lose 2 stone. That's my goal weight. If I do this, and I get loose skin, what can I use to tighten it? (link)
|
The key to prevent loose skin is to slowly lose the weight. If you do some crazy diet + excercise, and suddenly lose the 2 stone, the skin will become loose. If however you slowly lose it at a steady, healthy and maintainable rate, then you will not have too much of a problem with the loose skin.
If however you want to solve the problem of loose skin, there are currently no creams available (you could use bio-oil, cocoa butter for getting rid of stretch marks etc), but surgery may be an option for you- it is pricey however, and complications can occur.

So whenever i have n orgasm i can feel myself about to come I end up peeing (squirting). Why do I do that? IS there something wrong? (link)
|
Are you sure it is pee? Pee is different to the fluid that is released when "squirting". You will be able to tell if its pee: A strong pee like smell and colour.
Squirting is different, and is normal. It is "the expulsion of noticeable amounts of clear fluid by human females from the paraurethral ducts through and around the urethra during or before an orgasm" (according to wikipedia).
The actual substance release when a female has an orgasm is different to urine. The expulsion of the fluid is completely normal, and many men (and women) find it a turn-on.
If you actually are peeing and not expelling ejaculatory fluids, then you should see a doctor: you may have a bladder control problem. But 90% of the time, you are just squirting ejaculatory fluid: which is completely normal.
Hope i helped :)
Answer edit: You ask how you know if you are peeing: Like i said in my answer, if it is the colour of pee, and smells like it, it may be pee. The ejaculatory fluid may contain a little bit of pee, but that will only make up a small part of it. So if it has a strong pee smell, and looks like pee, then it may indeed be urine, and you will need to see a doctor.

do girls squirt when they come (link)

Some do, but it really depends on the girl and how her body works. Some do so always, others sometimes, the rest never. :)

For a very long time I have wanted nothing else but to go to college, then uni and become a midwife. All of a sudden, with like 3 weeks before i'm meant to start college I really don't want to go. I don't see the point in getting debts at uni so I probably won't do that and at college I have taken 4 subjects, 3 of which I don't want to do or care about. I've been thinking about acting professionally, but I'm not sure what sort of professional experience you need for that (all I have is an A grade drama gcse?). I'm getting quite upset about it, and I'm thinking I would rather get a full time job instead like one of my friends has done.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can either get straight into acting or find an education ish route that works for me?
16/f, just left school. Thanks :) (link)

Hello, I'm also from the UK, so can sympathise with your situation: I've recently finished my A-Levels.
I understand what you are saying about university: With the recent increase of university fees in England, It can put you off. However, you will not have to pay that back until you are earning a certain amount, and if you still have debts at 50, the Government will write it off. You will also be paying less than people do now.
In reference to college, My advice is to pick subjects that you enjoy, or are good at. Its completely up to you whether you want to go into work full time, or go to college. The only thing with work is: there's not much around. The government cuts and the current economic situation is making it hard for employers to hire people. Many people are also being made redundant: These people have been working all their lives. Now think of it this way: Would you rather employ someone who has 30years of experience, working all their life, or someone who is 16 and has no experience at all? Its hard for our age group to get work in this climate.
What do you really want to do with your life? Become a midwife? Or act?
Is there a local college that specialises in a course about becoming a midwife, rather that the tradition route of college -> University -> Work?
Maybe check around? In regards to acting: its not easy. You would probably have to go to an acting school, or study something like English, Drama, Theatre Studies etc, and then maybe study something related at university. Then you would have to see if there are any jobs for you out there: Local acting. Then maybe something big after a few years: It won't be easy to get the TV/Film sort of acting roles.
Also, do you have a connexions centre in your town/city? They tailor their advice to you, and see what the best option is. They dont push you, just guide you according to your interests: They helped me very much!
Here are some links from the Connexions website about options after year 11, and 16+ :

I'm 13/f,and I'm going to start a band.We agreed that I'd be the lyrics writer,and singer,but I just need the other people.Should I start a band?And if so,how do I go about doing this? (link)
|
Should you start a band? If you really want to, why not.
Of course first steps include:
1. Identifying what kind of band you want to be i.e. what genre e.g. Rock, Punk, Jazz, whatever
2. Finding people who can play instruments well, and can put in the time.
3. finding somewhere to practice e.g. a garage, or a friends house: wherever it is. It will be noisy however, so inform people around the area
4. practice, practice, practice: its the only way to get sound good.
5. Record what you practice e.g. a full song. Listen back and see what you can improve on
6. Get family and other friends to listen so they can give you advice.
7. Perform (it will be for free, especially as you are so young and new) at places such as your school, or other events. Local bars usually look for bands, but this is not applicable to you because of your age.
If your or your friends dont have instruments, or cant sing or whatever, then its probably not best to start a band, simply because a lot of money will need to be spent on instruments, and learning how to play them. So find people that you get along with, that can play instruments, and most importantly, you need to practice with your band.
Hope i helped :)

My family constantly tells me Im fat. It's really starting to affect me. I think I look ok I'm not perfect but I'm not a whale. My family on the other hand makes me feel like a whale....it's not like my mom and dad are skinny. Anyway is there a way to lose weight fast? I'm 5'5 and 145 pounds. I'm starting to feel like crap:/ thank you:) oh and don't tell me I'm perfect how I am because if I were I wouldn't get called fat by those closest to me and those love me. (link)

No offence to the answerer below, but they think Zumba is the answer to all the worlds problems.
The fact is that the only way to lose weight is to eat healthy food, everything in moderation, and excercise more. Losing weight fast is impossible: If it was, everyone would be healthy and slim. It takes work, and determination, but if you really want to do it, you can easily do it. I recently answered a similar question, and i've copied and pasted the same answer here for you, as it goes into great details:
Hello, I speak from experience so I may be of some use. Here are some quick fire tips that I used:
1. You say you eat a lot of carbs. Try to exchange white bread for wholemeal, white rice for brown and white normal pasta for brown. These keep you fuller for longer, so you don't crave more carbs.
2. One of my weaknesses was hot buttered toast? Or pastries? Like cinnamon buns? The key is moderation: Don’t eat too much of unhealthy foods, but don’t starve yourself of them. Make healthy substitutions where you can.
3. Many diets say you have to stop eating after 6, or stop eating after a certain time. You can eat at whatever time you want, but eat conscientiously i.e. don’t sit in front of the TV; eat at the dining table, or with the TV off. Focus solely on your food. Put down your knife and fork (or sandwich, or chop sticks, or bread or whatever) after each bite, and chew 25 times, focussing on the taste of the food only. Savour every bit of food. The food will taste much better also this way. Also, by eating this way, you can actually taste how disgusting some foods actually are: e.g. processed meats.
4. Listen to your stomach. When you feel satisfied (Not full), stop eating. Just put your food away. If you are unsure, wrap your plate up, and keep it in the microwave/oven and go back to it if you feel hungry again. Just don't carry on eating. If you find this hard (Many people do as they were taught as a child not to waste food and always to clear their plates), then make and take smaller portions.
5. You can count calories if you find it easy. Food from shops now have calorie information on them (It’s the figure that usually has 'kcal' at the end of it). Make smart decisions, keeping in mind that the recommended calorie allowance for a woman is 2300 calories. If you are consuming a much larger number, slowly decrease your calorie intake by 100/200 calories a week. Jumping from, say 3200 to 2300 will be too great of a shock for your body and you will easily relapse. To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit diet. So you need to burn more calories through exercise than walking. E.g. If you consume 2300 calories, you need to burn at least 2301 calories to lose weight!
6. Lose calories by exercising. There may be some fun classes in your area, like Zumba (like the answer below suggests), or if you have something like the Nintendo Wii, that can also help. Make exercise fun: Walk the dog twice a day, ask your friends if they would like to join you on a stroll around the block, or simply go alone and enjoy the scenery and your surroundings. Start off slowly however: Don't go and try to run a marathon straight away!
7. You could sign up to a gym, but the problem with that is the high cost, as well as the fact that it may be quite a travel for you. Many gyms realise the tough economic times we are in, and so have reduced membership fees. But I use my natural surroundings: A jog/walk/run in the park, cycling around the block, walking the dog, Convert your garage/a spare bedroom/ a little space into a makeshift gym: An exercise ball, a few light dumbbells, a skipping rope etc.
8. Purchase a pedometer: It track how many steps you take, and they are very inexpensive, ranging from a couple of dollars for a standard one, or ranging to a couple of hundred dollars for a fancy one (albeit unnecessary features increase the price). Create a log book of how many steps you take, and try to increase the number everyday. A healthy goal is 10,000 a day, easily achieved by getting of the bus a stop earlier, walking to the store instead of driving or getting a taxi, climbing stairs instead of using an escalator etc.
9. Also keep a food journal of what you eat. Its shocking when you actually see all the junk you eat and really hits home when you see it all listed! See times where you stack when you dont need to and try to tackle this.
10. Before snacking or going for a soda, Have a glass of water. If you still feel the urge to snack, have an apple, or fruit. Once you do this, you will not feel the urge to snack on chips, etc as you will have already filled yourself with something.
11. Chew gum: It makes the brain feel you are eating something with the constant chewing motion of the mouth and so stops you from snacking.
12. Listen to music when exercising to keep you busy. Fast music really helps you to focus.
In short: Have fun with exercise and food. Experiment with different world cuisines, Google recipe ideas: Create a recipe book for yourself with all your favourite healthy meals, and keep your fridge/cupboards stocked up.
Hope i helped, and good luck. Sorry my tips are all jumbled up! I was typing as ideas came to me! :)

so im 18 and my boyfriend of three years is moving in like 20 or less days over seas forever :( and i wanted to give him somthing so special so sweet that he could keep with him till i get to visit in december any ideas? (link)
|
I say you get him something that he will always remember you with, whenever he looks at it:
Dogtags, if he wears jewellery, maybe get them engraved with something?
How about a journal? But fill it with stuff like pictures, and movie tickets, restaurant reciepts, stuff from your anniversaries, or from your first date? Or make a box with the same things?
What are his interests? Does he have some sort of sport or something he really enjoys? Maybe get him something related to an interest of his?
I think the first two options are the best as they are personalised, and if its hand made, the better because it shows you have put thought and care and work into creating it.
Hope i helped :)

i am a 13 year old girl and i have a question: how come my interests constantly change and hardly ever last a long time? like i went from being obsessed with gothic clothes and emo and scene guys to falling in love with the beatles and girly vintage clothes. @ first i was thinking that criss angel and a bunch other dudes who have a dark bad boy vibe and then a month or so later, im obsessed with every one of the beatles! im still in this beatles stage cause it started only about 2 weeks ago but im completely obsessed! im even listening 2 them right now (tee hee!) but anyway, all im asking is why my interests change so drastically and quickly. none of my interests stay the same with the exception of very few. please help me out and answer this question. kisses! (link)

You're at that age where you change your mind quickly and often. Its completely normal. If you are actually worried about it, why not focus on what your hobbies are: those interests that stay the same (albeit a few). But like i said, its completely normal at your age, especially because at 12-15 and maybe even further, you want to fit into a group, and you also get easily bored.
Hope i helped :)

Okay, I have a HUGE spider phobia and I'm way to scared to look this up in case there's a picture of this thing, but I was in my bathroom when I saw these spiders. I'll admit, they wwere kinda small maybe about the size of a pea with thin legs and they were orange and black, a bit striped.
Please tell me this isn't poisonous. (And don't lecture me on why I shouldn't be scared of spiders, I can't help it!) (link)
|
I have googled it for you, i just searched "small black red spider stripes". I found some info on a spider called the Redback Spider. But this type usually lives in Australia. The fact of the matter it, most spiders are not poisonous, and most poisonous spiders usually reside in Australia. But without any information on where you live, its hard to be exact. But here's some info on the Redback- It sounds similar to what you describe, and is very poisonous:
The female Redback has a round body about the size of a large pea (1 centimetre long), with long, slender legs. The body is a deep black colour (occasionally brownish), often containing an obvious orange to red longitudinal stripe on the upper abdomen. The stripe is sometimes broken or looks like small red dots. On the underside of the abdomen there is an "hourglass" shaped red/orange spot. Juvenile spiders have additional white markings on the abdomen. The male Redback is three to four millimetres long and is light brown in colour with white markings on the upper side of the abdomen and a pale hour-glass marking on the underside.
The Redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) is a potentially dangerous spider endemic to Australia. It is a member of the genus Latrodectus or the widow family of spiders, which are found throughout the world. The female is easily recognisable by her black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side (i.e. the back) of her abdomen. Females have a body length of about a centimetre while the male is smaller, being only 3 to 4 millimetres long. The Redback spider is one of few arachnids which display sexual cannibalism while mating.
Redbacks are considered one of the most dangerous spiders in Australia.[1] The Redback spider has a neurotoxic venom which is toxic to humans with bites causing severe pain. There is an antivenom for Redback bites which is commercially available.
That info is from Wikipedia: So it may not be completely true. I will post a link at the end of the answer to the article which i obtained the above information. But don't worry about being afraid of spiders. Granted some are big, scary, and poisonous, but most are not. But its a totally normal fear: I don't think anyone would lecture you on why you shouldnt be scared).
If you think that what you see is a Redback, i would advise you to call an exterminator.
Hope i Helped, and didn't scare you too much :)

How can I edit a scanned page quickly so that I do not have to re-enter
all information again?

The Only way you can really do this is by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. Some scanners have it already, some provide you with the software, whereas with most you just have to download it yourself. Try something like Textbridge. I have never used it, but read about it in a forum. There are other types of software too, just Google: OCR Software.
You could also edit it on Photoshop manually. Alternatively, just type it all up again, but of course that can be tedious.
Hope i helped :)

iam an indian and iam from the state kerala.i have seen that a male & female child of age four hugging and kissing each other.i think its a sort of sexual pleasure they are sharing because they itself have a guilty feeling about what they have done.they wish parents could not see it.also the girl child told me the boy is bad&she dont want me to talk to him,when she felt that i saw their deeds.actually the girl showed intrest in boys activity and she dragged him to that.media lnfluence is there.but without any hormonal deviations in that small age how could they think so?what did they mean?what happened?
i have pointed out only one incident,but in flats children are pone to such activities without anyones compulsion.parents may not be aware of that.when a very young girl and boy locks their room inside parents think they are kids and are playing.parents must be assertive to avoid such experiences from childs life as early experiences are critical in their lifes (link)

Okay, you seem to have already made your mind up so I’m not really sure what you are asking. Were the children kissing on the lips? Or just cheeks?
The fact of the matter is there is nothing wrong with it. Children of 4 years old are not so drastically affected by sex in the media to act on it: they are not hormonally developed. This is just innocence of hugging, and kissing. I know in India it is perfectly normal for two grown men to hold hands: this is just as innocent, if not more so. The fact is, if you tell children off and make them feel bad just for hugging each other and kissing (simply on the cheeks or whatever, then you are treating them as adults, which forces them to grow up and try and understand what they have done is wrong. This is not good, as their childhood is critical to them (as you acknowledge), and treating them like they have committed some sexual sin undermines their innocence as they have no grasp of sexuality, or sexual emotions.
If however these kids are kissing each other on the lips using tongues (which I doubt) then it’s a different matter, especially if you think the media plays a strong role. If you think they are copying what they see on tv, you need to speak to them. Either way, I think that if you feel THAT strongly about it, sit down with the children and explain in a calm manner that what they are doing is not for young children but for adults, or considered offensive to some people, or whatever reasoning you place behind your belief.
I also think that your logic is simply flawed. Your question is "sex among children": sex is the act between a male and female where the male inserts his penis into the vagina of a woman, or the act between men and men, or women and women, I won’t divulge into the details of the latter two. Two children aged 4 hugging is not sex. Also the fact that you believe that these children seek sexual pleasure from a simple embrace is ridiculous. Sexual pleasure cannot be achieved by hugging (for most people), let alone between two children aged 4. What you are doing, by using such language is pushing the children into the world of sex, almost 'sexing' the situation even further, and pushing them into adulthood and all the problems that come with it sooner, which will in turn push the children to commit acts which they will see as "daring" and "rebellious" in the future.
I am not sure how old you are, or how mature your knowledge of the human sexual system is, but I don’t think the best option is to embarrass, shame, judge, and persecute two young children who are just being children.
