Sto leggendo La piramide di Fango (Camilleri) in cui si parla di uno dei personaggi conosciuti della serie (non dico il nome per evitare spoilers) che è morto e di Livia che è depressa. Ma in quale libro è successo? Non ricordo di averlo letto, mi sembra di averli comprati tutti...

why are halogenoalkanes less soluble than aldehydes, and why do they have a lower boiling point? aren`t both functional groups polar?

atroce dubbio: la canarina ha fatto e rifatto l`imbottitura al nido (un nido interno a cesto, di fibre naturali) e poi ha fatto le uova, e dopo l`ultimo uovo si è seduta a covare e non si è più mossa, o comunque non quando potevamo vederla. Oggi finalmente ho potuto dare un`occhiata, e ho scoperto che nel nido ci sono solo uova e non un filo di carta o di canapa. La schiusa è prevista per lunedì prossimo (circa...)

Per re-imbottire dovrei tirare fuori nido uova e tutto - mi sembra terribilmente "disturbante" per la canarina - oppure può stare così, insomma, cosa si fa in questi casi? E`importante per i piccoli che ci sia l`imbottitura o no? Grazie (sono alle prime armi, non inveite)

Hi, posting a question on behalf of my daughter (schoolwork on democracy) : she has read that in some states it has been abolished through popular voting, and wants to know if people in all the other states - where the death penalty is still in force - have been given the opportunity to do the same (vote) at some point in the past. Thanks!

A girl at school had problems with her new laptop, she said she had it charging all night but the battery lasted just a few minutes and it was out. I borrowed a cable from another pupil so she could be finished with her work, but after a few minutes the laptop kind of "died" on her.I think I had checked the cable`s transformer to see if the output was the same (this happened 2 years ago, so I`m not that sure now....) but the pc never recovered and she had to buy a new one - or got a new one from the shop, I did not ask. Is it possible that the wrong cable killed her pc? I suppose the transformer feeds the battery, so it shouldn`t be possible to fry the pc through the battery, or is it? I feel really bad....

My 2 pet mice are getting old (about 2 years and 8 months) and thin. I don`t think I ever had mice that old, my previous ones died of sickness or tumor when they were around 2 years old. I was wondering if they teeth got dull, and they have problems eating the usual food. Should I give them something softer? And in that case, what?

Thanks!

I`ve seen a movie (a month ago) on the tv and since I`ve tried to find it again but I can`t remember the title (here was translated as "the many lives of ana" or something like that). It`s the story of a girl who is getting hypnotized and finds out that she has lived many lives and that she died many times in a lot of violent ways. At the end she discovers she is a kind of ancient goddess - ok, the movie was really good and not that simple as I`m telling here. I seem to remember it was a spanish production. Somebody who can help me here? I tried to search on the net but didn`t find anything. Thanks!
