E.g. The trip from Naples to Genoa how long would it take?

I noticed in the Royalty Forum that the Yahoo Answers team keeps accepting reports from users trying to get their homework done by other users.

Am I the only one that believe that the YA team must reconsider its specific policy and that the "homework" questions should be reported instead?

In UK the Monarch chooses his/her regnal name at the time of the accession, which can be his/her current name, one of the middle names or a completely new one. If the monarch is underage a Regent is appointed till his/her maturity. I guess that if the Monarch is very young (e.g. an infant) his/her first name becomes the regnal name or the Regent decides.

What happens if the monarch decides to rule with a different name once maturation? Will the name change retrospectively?

Example: Tragedy strikes, the Queen, Charles and William are dead, baby George is now King George VII and Prince Harry becomes The Prince Regent Henry. Then, in 2030 George decides he was to rule under the name 'Alexander IV'. Can he do that? What would be the numeral of the next UK King with George as his name?

I heard many times this rumor and I found many pics that indicate the Queen more relaxed and "human" in the presence of Andrew, but the following beats them all:

In her pics with baby Charles she seems more strict than warm and in her pics with baby Edward actually looks tired and warned out.

I wonder why Andrew. I guess that timing pf birth that something to do with it - In Charles was young with many steps ahead and with Edward was like I have already done it all. Andrew maybe came at a period when she was already established and happy in her marriage and still young enough as to enjoy it.

What do you think?

I am writing a novel. The main events are proven historical facts:

The time is 1360 A.D. In a Mediterranean Kingdom the King falls in love with the widow of a noble man. The Queen finds out and when the King is abroad has the mistress, which is by now pregnant with the King's child, imprisoned and tortured. The child is born in prison and vanished (the various contemporary sources imply that it was murdered). The King finds out and the Queen has the mistress released from prison, but forces her to enter a convent. By the time the King has returned she has taken her vows as a nun.

Modern historians indicate that the contemporary sources were biased against the Queen, therefore the said behavior is highly exaggerated to say the least. The historians also indicate that the illegitimate children were not a thread (since could not inherit the throne), therefore were usually treated well even from the most jealous/vicious Queens.

My novel will include an account of what happened to that child. Given the high infant morality rates of the time, being stillborn or having a natural death it is a choice, but I would rather something more interesting to read, such as being given for a relative of the widow (or even her late husband) to raise.

Lets say you go to a new environment, e.g. a new job. And you find that a person that is actually efficient on his/her work and generally has a good behavior is treated with contempt by anyone else. You realize that the person is not bad at all, but he/she receives a kind of bullying for petty reasons, since the person alloyed by him/her was a person of social power in the specific group.

How does it affect your behavior towards him/her?

Would you also treat him/her with contempt so as you will not receive the same treatment?

Will you have a neutral position?

Or will you stand up for him when you see their "all-against-one" behavior in action?

Only earnest replies please.

- Would you think "since so many act like this then they have good reasons, so I act accordingly"?

- Would you also treat him/her with contempt so as you will not receive the same treatment?

- Would you try to have have a neutral position?

- Or, Would you stand up for him/hem when you see their actions are clear;y abusing him/her physically, psychologically or emotionally?

Only honest answers please.

I wonder whether Cole (the Haley Joel Osment character) knew all along that Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) was dead. Is there any indication that Cole knows actually knows in the famous "I see dead people" scene?

If not, then when did he realized it?

In the film we can conclude that Cole knows it near the end, when he suggests to Malcolm that he should try speaking to his wife while she is ASLEEP.

I have a friend that until very recently we communicated very well. For the last 2-3 months we meet approximately 5 times a week for walking in the park to lose weight. Our communication was very good, since we share the same opinions in many things and she was openly sharing her thoughts, her disappointments even her disagreements with mutual acquaintances with me. And I do the same. The change happened when some aspects of her behavior started to make me feel she is increasingly condescending with me.

E.g., when we met she started asking me twice how well I am. When I pointed that out (the second or third day she did it in a row), her reply was like something in the sense of "I was making sure you are OK, is it wrong?". I found it compromising to me to explain that this actually is a way of saying "I don’t believe you are ok”, or “you know whether you are ok or not". She stopped doing that, but one time she actually said "well-done!” to me when I replied "Fine".

Another aspect is that she started increasingly asking me to say the same thing twice in our conversations (I was sure she heard me the first time) and I caught her replying to me without even recalling what I just said. E.g. only recently she asked me if I completed the project I wanted at work, and when I started replying "No, but.." she already was saying "well done!". Since she was caught in the act she laughed, and I reprimanded her in a very light way (since I was not in the mood of arguing), that she is obviously don’t really care as for what I am saying, but she still asks.

Now, I still like having a person to go for a walk nearly every afternoon and having a chat along the way, but her manner started to really get me. She says she tries to stop "this behavior that annoys me" (but she also strongly implied I am the only one that said to her she does that). But, I am yet to see betterment. What shall I do? I don't believe she is a bad person or that she does it on purpose, but I also I don't like my friends to be condescending to me, thinking I am their inferior.

Just came across a reference to syphilis causing aggressiveness and even madness. That could explain his treatment to his first two wives (by all accounts, for the next four he wasn't that advanced).

I don't keep in my life people that I don't appreciate their behaviors towards me or I sense they are fake. But, what happens when you have people that are really close to you (long time friends, close relatives, like a sister) that while you are talking casually with them you occasionally hear them calling you not so positive things under their breath? I would understand if that was in a middle of an argument, but this is not the case.

It really annoys me because since is not said aloud I cannot reply to it and the few times I said "what?" they just repeat what they said before the mumbling. What it makes me feel even worse is that thy must think of me of a very stupid person in order to mumble what they really thing of me on my face. Also, I cannot really cut off relationships with people only on the basis of what I've heard them mumbling. Confronting them is a choice, but again is difficult unless the persons admits.

I know that for person that reads this may occurs like I am hallucinating, but unfortunately, I am not.

Watching the film I remember there is a line where the title is explained, suggesting Eleanor is a lion with limited freedom (as a lion in winter, where the food is sparse). However, I could not find the exact quote in the internet, while many sites I saw actually suggest that Henry II is the "Lion in Winter", being a King (Lion) neat the end (=the winter) of his life.

Does anyone remembers the line that gives the film its title?
