Hi

Does anyone know where you can download the piano music to Meatloaf's song "A Kiss is a terrible thing to waste"? I'd quite like to learn it, but can't find it anywhere

I don't need a free site/don't mind paying for it, though having said that if anyone knows where it can be found for free(obviously not illegally), that would be great as well

Thanks

Hi

Basically, I'm not entirely sure I've got the right idea on Radiodating of rocks. This is how I think it works, was wondering if someone could either correct me or confirm I'm right?

- Some rocks (Generally Igneous) contain radioactive elements. Take Uranium as an example

- These Radioactive elements decay over time, and have 'Half-lives', namely the time taken for 50% of the Uranium to decay (700 Million Years for Uranium 238)

- So, the first half life is how long it takes for 50% of the original amount of Uranium 238 (Call that quantity X) to decay. So after 700 Million years, the quantity of Uranium will be 1 half of X. The 2nd half life is the amount taken for half of the remaining Uranium to decay. So after the next 700 Million Years, the quantity of Uranium 238 present will be 75% of X and so on...

- This means we can sort of take multiple half lives from any given point and they will be constant. So if we record the quantity of Uranium when it is 75% of X, then 700 Million years later, half of that will have decayed, leaving a quantity of 35% of X.

Is this correct?

Also, does anyone know how "long-lived" Uranium is, as in how old does a rock have to be before the quantity is so minute that it is no longer useful in radiodating (as in too small to be measured effectively etc). I seem to remember reading it can be used for up to about 2 Billion years, but I think that might be wrong. Can Uranium be used to test rocks of over 4 Billion years (i.e. from the formation of earth), and if it can't, which elements are/were used to establish this age?

Hi

I've recently started working out, including press ups, and because my shoulders weren't the strongest I started with the easier knee press ups

Now I've built up to the point where I can do about 22/23 of the knee press ups, and I'm wondering if this is a good time to switch to full press ups? Or should I wait until I can do more, say 30?40?

I'm sure I read somewhere that when you can do 20, you should switch to full press ups, but i'm not sure.

Thankyou :)

Basically, I've answered some questions about Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the University section becaus i'm a current student at Cambridge, and the asker has selected my answer as best answer.

Then in the asker's rating they've said that since I'm a current student, there are a couple more things they'd like to know etc, so they've asked some more questions. I want to help them out, but I don't know how to add more information to my answer, or contact the asker.

Could anyone help me out with this? :)

Hi

I play violin, and I'd like to get the violin solo music from Saint-Saen's Danse Macabre

I can't find just the violin solo part available for download anywhere. I've found an option to buy the 'orchestra score'. What i want to know is will the orchestra score consist of the conductor's score plus the instrument parts individually? Or will it just be the conductor's overrall score, with the tiny notes? I don't fancy paying £12 then getting stuck with tiny notes to fathom out

Thankyou

Hi

Basically I have a conditional offer from my dream University, and I'm averaging above it in grades, so I'm pretty sure I can manage it.

However, I have a problem. On my UCAS form, I missed out a GCSE. My results were A*A*A*A*AAABBBBD, and I missed out the D. I didn't lie about the grade, I just omitted the subject from my form. I couldn't see anything to say this was a problem, and I asked several teachers who said they thought it wouldn't make any difference.

However, now I have found out that Universities CAN cancel your offer if they find out you haven't declared a GCSE, if they want to. I really had no idea this was the case, and I'm annoyed at UCAS for not making that clear.

What should I do? Should I let the University know, and hope that they respect my honesty? Or should I just hope they never find out or don't care :( I'm really worried about this.

I've Never been stung by a wasp.

I Know they're not dangerous as in will hospitalise or kill you etc, but I'd like to know what exactly will happen. Will it just be a sharp pain which will quickly die down? or will it cause a rash or irritation for several hours/days afterwards?

thankyou

I need to know why the melting points of metals increase down the group. i know why the Melting points increases down the group with groups 7 and 6, as the Van Der Waal's forces become stronger but I don't get why the melting points increasedown the groups in metals.
