Why do our teeth fall out at such a young age and grow back? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for this process to happen at like age 50? | Evolution doesn't care how long you live; it only cares whether you have children. So no, it would not be more beneficial to wait until age 50 to replace your teeth. | As our brains got bigger, the shape of our jaw and mouth changed to get out of the way. This made our mouth smaller, but we continued to grow the same amount of teeth. Same number of teeth in a smaller space means they come in compact and crooked. |

Police were called to Colne Road at about 15:00 GMT and offered to take the bride and groom to their reception at Cafe Cargo in Foulridge.
Guests were "very shocked" to see the couple arrive in a police car.
The groom said he did not think the incident was a sign of things to come, joking: "It was certainly us to arrive in style."
The couple had just exchanged their vows when the chauffeur-driven vintage 1970s' Rover was involved in a collision. Their ten-month-old son Arlo was also in the car.
Mr Garnett explained: "On the way, about three minutes after being married, someone crashed into our wedding car. We were stuck in the middle of Burnley town centre. The car wouldn't move. We called the police and the officer offered to take us to the reception.
"It was a big shock to see everyone's faces when we got out of a police car."
PC Pete Howarth, now nicknamed "PC Pageboy" by colleagues, said: "We tend to deal with people who are having a lot worse days so it was a refreshing change.
"It came in as a minor road traffic collision, so once that was dealt with we were left with a stranded bride and groom. We weren't going to leave them at the side of the road and we were just pleased we were able to help.
"I managed to remove all the mouldy bananas and crisp wrappers out the back of the car before they got in it."
Burnley and Padiham Police said on Facebook "not all heroes wear capes", and congratulated the new Mr and Mrs Garnett on their marriage. |
Why is female handwriting generally distinguishable from male handwriting? | Young girls fine motor skills tend to develop a few years earlier than young boys. This also coincides with schools teaching handwriting, ages 5-8. As a result girls can get a bit of a jumpstart on developing and perfecting their handwriting. If you want to throw socializations in also, it is usually stressed that girls should be neat and precise, while boys tend to be given a bit more leeway in messiness...."boys will be boys" excuse. | This is not really a gendered thing. Some people find drawing rude or crass images to be entertaining and funny, and penises are generally considered rude and crass. The gender demographic of this will vary by region/location and the person that comes to mind of drawing a dick on everything to me is actually a woman, Barbara Dunkelman from Roosterteeth. It may just be a lot of guys in your area. But I also live in a town that has no graffitti and the graffiti on the trains that pass through tend to be more gang tags from the neighboring city than rude images. |

If all cells are made of lipid walls, what stops two cells from blobing into one when they collide? | It's because cell membranes aren't just made of lipids, they're made of **phospho**lipids. Phospholipids have the typical hydrophobic fatty acid tails that other fats have, but at their head, they have a very hydrophilic phosphate group. Stick a bunch of these phospholipids in water, and they'll naturally group the fatty acid tails together (to limit their exposure to water) and face the phosphate end outward like [this](_URL_0_) to form a bilayer with phosphate groups pointing both toward the exterior and interior of the cell. When two cells are next to one another, the phosphate heads of their cell membranes are what come into contact, and they tend to repel each other and not bond. Let me know if this was clear. | Digestion Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides. However fats are mainly digested in the small intestine.[17] The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption of fatty acids.[17] Complete digestion of one molecule of fat (a triglyceride) results a mixture of fatty acids, mono- and di-glycerides, as well as some undigested triglycerides, but no free glycerol molecules.[17] |
What happens that makes us want to turn up the volume higher when we are enjoying music? | The music makes us feel a certain emotion and chemicals in our brain make us want to experience more of that sensory thing.

The former Bishop of Derry Dr Edward Daly has called for an end to clerical celibacy. | Dr Daly, who was a bishop for almost 20 years, said there needed to be a place in the modern Catholic church for a married priesthood.
He also said that many young men who considered joining the priesthood turned away because of the rule.
Dr Daly, 77, addressed the controversial issue in a new book about his life in the church, A Troubled See.
The former Bishop worked in Derry at the height of the troubles.
A photograph, showing the then priest waving a white handkerchief on Bloody Sunday, has become one of the most enduring images of the troubles.
Speaking on BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, Bishop Daly said allowing clergymen to marry would ease the church's problems.
"There will always be a place in the church for a celibate priesthood, but there should also be a place for a married priesthood in the church," he said.
"I think priests should have the freedom to marry if they wish. It may create a whole new set of problems but I think it's something that should be considered."
Dr Daly said he found it "heartbreaking" during his term as Bishop when priests, or prospective priests, were forced to resign or unable to join the priesthood because of the celibacy rule.
"I'm worried about the decreasing number of priests and the number of older priests. I think it's an issue that needs to be addressed and addressed urgently," he said.
While Dr Daly accepted he might be out of step with current Vatican thinking he said he was "not engaged in a popularity contest".
A spokesman for the Catholic Church said he did not wish to comment on Bishop Daly's remarks.
"Bishop Daly was speaking in a personal capacity," he added. | His father , Patrick Byrne , was a delegate , senator and lord mayor of Dublin , another brother Alfie Byrne was also TD . |
Why will it start to tear off skin if you pull the hair on someone's head hard enough, but large strips of wax pulling hair doesn't have the same effect? | The roots to a head of hair are deaper than roots for short hair such as eyebrows or legs, making it easier to wax them. Also, waxing hurts like hell, and can lead to torn skin, but its torn like scrapes and scabs. That hurts. | Wild guess here, but I think it's because they serve different purposes. The hair on your head is meant to retain warmth, while other hair, such as pubic hair, is meant to prevent friction, and curly hair helps to prevent friction while also allowing heat to escape so your junk doesn't overheat. |
who sings it's a long way to the top | It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of the group's album T.N.T., released in December 1975, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. The song is notable for combining bagpipes with hard rock instrumentation; in the middle section of the song there is a call and response between the bagpipes and guitar.[1] The original recording is in B-flat major, but it was played live in A major.[2] | On this week's All Songs Considered, Robin Hilton shares the first single from Belle & Sebastian's upcoming album, Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance, out Jan. 20. If they're looking for it, "The Party Line" would give those girls what they want — it's a surprisingly bouncy song from the veteran Scottish band. Bob Boilen's week was devoted to the CMJ Music Marathon, where he saw more than 60 bands perform. You can hear songs by ten of his favorite discoveries from the New York-based festival here. Four of those songs are on the show this week, including an upbeat but dark song from the British trio Happyness, a grinding track from post-punk band Protomartyr, Japanese prog and punk rock from Bo Ningen and gorgeous vocals and instrumental harmonies from teenage Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora. Robin also shares a gorgeous, spare song from Grouper (Liz Harris), whose forthcoming album, Ruins, is available to stream in its entirety in our First Listen series. And finally, it's difficult to believe that it's been more than a year since Lou Reed's death.

Congress Finds Solution for Guantanamo Trials Elusive | Congress holds its third hearing in three days on the future of war crimes trials at Guantanamo Bay. The politicians are trying to find a way forward after the Supreme Court said President Bush's system of tribunals for Guantanamo detainees violates U.S. and international law. | Their case related to the abduction of an Egyptian cleric in Milan in 2003.
The man, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured.
The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA's practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted.
The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements.
The group of Americans - 22 of whom were CIA agents and one an Air Force pilot - are believed to be living in the US and are unlikely to serve their sentences.
Italy has never requested their extradition but they will be unable to travel to Europe without risking arrest.
The group include the former station chief of CIA operations in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady.
At the time, he said that his opposition to the proposal to kidnap the imam was overruled.
The court upheld the sentences of the lower court which had sentenced all of them to seven years in prison, apart from Seldon Lady, who was given a nine-year sentence.
The Court of Cassation also ruled that five senior Italian secret service agents - including the former head of the country's military intelligence agency - should be tried for their role in the kidnapping.
Nicolo Pollari resigned over the affair in which Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, an Egyptian imam also known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a Milan street.
Abu Omar says he was tortured for seven months in Egypt. |

when does an ospf router become an abr | Open Shortest Path First An OSPF network can be structured, or subdivided, into routing areas to simplify administration and optimize traffic and resource utilization. Areas are identified by 32-bit numbers, expressed either simply in decimal, or often in the same dot-decimal notation used for IPv4 addresses. By convention, area 0 (zero), or 0.0.0.0, represents the core or backbone area of an OSPF network. While the identifications of other areas may be chosen at will; administrators often select the IP address of a main router in an area as the area identifier. Each additional area must have a connection to the OSPF backbone area. Such connections are maintained by an interconnecting router, known as an area border router (ABR). An ABR maintains separate link-state databases for each area it serves and maintains summarized routes for all areas in the network. | macOS Launched in 2001 as Mac OS X, the series is the latest in the family of Macintosh operating systems. Mac OS X succeeded "classic" Mac OS, which was introduced in 1984, and the final release of which was Mac OS 9 in 1999. An initial, early version of the system, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was released in 1999. The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, followed in March 2001. Releases were code named after big cats from the original release up until OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Beginning in 2013 with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, releases have been named after landmarks in California.[10] Apple changed the original name "Mac OS X" to "OS X" in 2012 and then to "macOS" in 2016, adopting the nomenclature that it uses for their other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Surrey have confirmed the signing of Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara. | The 37-year-old is top of the current Test batting rankings and fifth in the all-time list of Test run-scorers.
He will retire from one-day internationals after the forthcoming World Cup and is likely to be available for much of the 2015 county season.
"He is a five-star player and person and that is important because he will be working with our homegrown players," Surrey director Alec Stewart said.
Sangakkara, who is the fourth highest ODI run-scorer with 13,414, has previously played county cricket in England for Warwickshire and had a two-game spell with Durham last season, making 159 in his final innings.
"He is the number one Test batsman in the world but it's the special character that he has which is as important to us," Stewart added.

What is the name of the service that gets local businesses contract chances with the Super Bowl? | The host committee has already raised over $40 million through sponsors including Apple, Google, Yahoo!, Intel, Gap, Chevron, and Dignity Health. | The industry is worth about £80m a year to the economy, employs about 4,000 workers, with 105 million journeys taken in Wales each year.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said 2016 had been a "mixed year" with the "demise" of some service providers.
He told Wales' first bus summit some communities had been left "vulnerable" and longer-term solutions are needed.
Mr Skates added more young people should be encouraged to travel by bus, and services must work for both rural and urban areas.
Between 2011 and 2014, nearly 100 subsidised bus routes were scrapped by local councils in Wales.
Passengers and transport providers attended Monday's summit, which was one of five steps the Welsh Government recommended to strengthen the industry.
Bus coordinators have also been appointed in north and south Wales to develop good practice.
Mr Skates said: "It's a tough task but I'm positive we have the expertise and the will in Wales to deliver it.
"I'm keen, amongst other things, to explore with others whether new legislation can play a role in this.
"In the meantime, of course, we will continue to support local authorities and communities wherever possible, whether it be through taking on new services like the T1C between Aberystwyth and Cardiff or providing further financial support to areas affected by loss of service providers." |

Atletico Madrid can no longer win the Spanish title following a surprise 2-1 defeat at bottom club Levante. | They trail leaders Barcelona by three points with one game to go, and Barca have the better head-to-head record so would win if points are level.
Champions League finalists Atletico went 1-0 up through Fernando Torres.
But Levante, who are relegated, hit back with goals from Victor Casadesus and a last-minute Giuseppe Rossi strike.
Relive the drama of the penultimate weeked of the La Liga title race
Plaudits have been paid to Diego Simeone and his Atletico players since they overcame Bayern Munich to set up a 28 May Champions League final with Real Madrid in Milan.
Yet their midweek exploits looked to have caught up with them as they failed to overcome La Liga's bottom club.
It had looked to be going to plan when Torres finished well following Koke's clever pass.
Atletico had kept clean sheets in their previous four league games, three of which had ended 1-0.
But Casadesus' equaliser and Rossi's late breakaway at the Ciutat de Valencia means 2014 champions Atletico, who started with inspirational central defender Diego Godin and top scorer Antoine Griezmann on the bench, now cannot overhaul Barca. | The Italian champions beat Porto to reach the last eight, while the Foxes also progressed by overcoming Sevilla.
The Italy captain, 39, said: "Who do I prefer not to play? Leicester.
"They are a dangerous and passionate team who can cause trouble for opponents who take the initiative. We would have everything to lose."
Real Madrid, who have won Europe's premier knockout tournament a record 11 times and five-times winners Barcelona and Bayern Munich are among the sides already through to the last eight.
English champions Leicester reached the last eight in their maiden Champions League campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Spanish title hopefuls Sevilla to go through 3-2 on aggregate.
Juventus, who are two-time European champions, managed a routine 1-0 home win against Portuguese leaders Porto to complete a 3-0 aggregate victory.
They are widely ranked as fourth favourites to win the Champions League by many bookmakers, who also make Leicester the rank outsiders. |
what's the difference between minneapolis and st paul | Minneapolis–Saint Paul Minneapolis–Saint Paul is a major metropolitan area built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers in east central Minnesota. The area is commonly known as the Twin Cities after its two largest cities, Minneapolis, the city with the largest population in the state, and Saint Paul, the state capital. It is an example of twin cities in the sense of geographical proximity. Minnesotans living outside of Minneapolis and Saint Paul often refer to the two together (or the seven-county metro area collectively) as The Cities. | New Testament The Pauline epistles are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author.[note 2] Six of the letters are disputed. Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic, i.e., not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves. Opinion is more divided on the other two disputed letters (2 Thessalonians and Colossians).[22] These letters were written to Christian communities in specific cities or geographical regions, often to address issues faced by that particular community. Prominent themes include the relationship both to broader "pagan" society, to Judaism, and to other Christians.[23] |
What is a ligand on the cell surface that is upregulated after helper T cell activation? | Helper T cells have a weaker association with the MHC:antigen complex than observed for killer T cells, meaning many receptors (around 200–300) on the helper T cell must be bound by an MHC:antigen in order to activate the helper cell, while killer T cells can be activated by engagement of a single MHC:antigen molecule. | Phagocytes generally patrol the body searching for pathogens, but can be called to specific locations by cytokines. |

In 2011 an investigation found that postal packs were not supplied by printers in the 2010 General Election.
Both councils have said that residents who have received two ballots will not be able to vote twice as ID numbers used to authenticate voters are duplicated on the back of the voting card.
Vale of White Horse chief executive David Buckle, said: "If someone does return both packs there is no possibility of their vote being counted twice.
"We have a sophisticated computer system for processing returned postal votes that will reject any duplicate.
"I hope no one does this as it is an offence to attempt to vote more than once in the referendum."
Both councils have sent out about 25,000 postal votes and have received back 6,000 packs.
About 400 applications a day are made for postal votes for both authorities.
In 2011 the councils were criticised in an independent review, which identified that 2,035 postal votes were not sent to residents. | Lloyd was elected on 9 August with 51.1 % of the vote , Andy Burnham second with 29.1 % . |
How can our ears differentiate between sounds that are really far away and sounds that are close, but quiet? | Sound that is far away has a few characteristics that close sound does not: 1. the sound will have bounced off of things and will arrive at your ear through multiple avenues. The close sound will not have done this. We can discern this difference. 2. Certain undertones and overtones will have been lost traveling the distance - they'll be weaker, or won't survive the medium through which they travel at the same levels. The TL;DR: on this is essentially that they sound different! | Science.meme But seriously, it’s all in just using the right balance between left and right to mimic what he hear and how we perceive direction in real life. We experience the sounds we hear all the time in stereo (i.e. out of each of our 2 ears), so it’s *relatively* straightforward to create this same effect by splitting the sounds just right between 2 (or more, but a minimum of 2) speakers. You can confirm by playing one of these games with headphones on backwards. It’s pretty trippy, to be honest. |
Argentina has agreed for the first time to pay investors who have been holding out for full repayment of bonds which were defaulted on in 2002. | If the deal is approved by the Argentine Congress, the 50,000 Italian investors will receive 150% of the face value of the debt of $900m (£625m).
The deal comes as negotiations restart with hedge funds in a US court.
Argentina is trying to settle with all its creditors in order to be able to borrow again on international markets.
Finance Minister Alfonso Prat-Gay said the Italian investors' holdings accounted for around 15% of the country's defaulted debt that had not been restructured in 2005 and 2010.
The Italians were paid $1.35bn but had been asking for $2.5bn.
According to attorneys representing the Italian bondholders quoted by Bloomberg, of the 180,000 Italians who bought Argentine debt about 70% had entered into exchange agreements or had died.
Most of the survivors are between 60 and 80 years old and invested between $25,000 and $50,000 in Argentine debt.
President Mauricio Macri, who took office in December, has promised to resolve the litigation with bondholders and help the country return to the international capital markets.
Former president Christina Fernandez de Kirchner had refused the demands of investors who had held out for better terms than those offered in two debt restructurings in 2005 and 2010. | Colombia's chief executive loses his wallet, but hangs on to his compassion when two men are caught trying to cash in. |
How To Achieve Optimal Cooling And Energy Efficiency When It's Really Hot Out | If you're worried about saving energy and money on your utility bill, while maintaining a comfortable temperature at home, Energy Star has some recommendations. | Water and air conduct heat at different rates, with water being a fantastic conductor of heat and air being an insulator for heat. Your feeling of hot/cold is dependent on how quickly the environment takes heat away from you. And whether or not you're comfortable is dependent on how much effort your body has to use to keep your body at a normal temperature. Water absorbs a lot of heat quickly and will quickly dissipate it into nearby water. A tub at 95 is close to your body temperature so it'll absorb heat. But since it's already close it wont absorb a ton of heat and your body has an easy time keeping your temperature regulated. Air will absorb the heat, but it won't move the heat quickly to the rest of the room. If the air doesn't move at all the air immediately around your body quickly reaches your body temperature and your body has to work(sweating) to lower its temperature to keep you from overheating. |

Scandal Forces British MPs To Elect New Speaker | Monday's election follows last month's resignation of Michael Martin, who became the first speaker in more than 300 years to step down. Martin took the fall after details were leaked to a national newspaper of a parliamentary expenses system that allowed MPs to claim an array of goods and services at taxpayers' expense. | Lancashire Police confirmed it is "looking" at an allegation Cat Smith, MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood, filed improper expenses.
The shadow minister for Women and Equalities, Ms Smith said she would be "exonerated".
The claims have been made by blogger Guido Fawkes - real name Paul Staines - who said "anomalies" raised questions about her spending.
But in a statement Ms Smith said: "I utterly deny the allegation that my election expenses broke the law.
"If the police do decide to investigate I will fully cooperate with their inquiries, including giving them full access to all my financial records from the General Election campaign."
She added: "I am confident that no case will be found and I will be fully exonerated."
Lancashire Police said: "We have received a complaint and we are in the early stages of looking into the matter to establish whether there is anything to substantiate the allegations being made.
"At this stage we are not in a position to offer any further comment." |

How do our eyes know when something is just about to hit them? Like when a bug hits my closed eyelid when just a second ago it was open. | Eyes are great at detecting motion and changes, and the nervous system is much faster than conscious thought. You reflexively blink before you're aware | I recall seeing a documentary once about a supposed miracle where a statue of Mary was observed to move. The investigators concluded that it was an optical illusion. It was caused by looking intently at an object for a long time, and the tiny motions your head makes—which you generally don’t notice—cause the image to bounce slightly around your field of vision, which the brain tries to resolve as the object making small movements. I could see a similar thing happening with this hallway, in which case your blinking and scanning might have prevented you from seeing it. Or, as you say, it might just be that people wanted to see it. |

what is the meaning of in order to form a more perfect union | Preamble to the United States Constitution The phrase "to form a more perfect Union" has been construed as referring to the shift to the Constitution from the Articles of Confederation.[71] In this transition, the "Union" was made "more perfect" by the creation of a federal government with enough power to act directly upon citizens, rather than a government with narrowly limited power that could act on citizens (e.g., by imposing taxes) only indirectly through the states.[72] Although the Preamble speaks of perfecting the "Union," and the country is called the "United States of America," the Supreme Court has interpreted the institution created as a government over the people, not an agreement between the States.[73] The phrase has also been interpreted to confirm that state nullification of any federal law,[74] dissolution of the Union,[75] or secession from it,[76] are not contemplated by the Constitution. | Agreement was achieved on fourteen points out of fifteen, the exception being the nature of the Eucharist – the sacrament of the Lord's Supper—an issue crucial to Luther. |

Scientists say they know more information about what lies at the very centre of the Earth. | 10 February 2015 Last updated at 17:02 GMT
Research from China and the US suggests that the innermost core of our planet has another, separate section at its centre.
The team think that the structure of the iron crystals there are different from those found in the outer part of the inner core.
The findings are reported in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Without being able to drill into the heart of the Earth, its make-up has been a mystery.
So instead, scientists use echoes generated by earthquakes to study the core, studying how they change as they travel through the different layers of our planet.
Prof Song and his colleagues in China say this data suggests that the Earth's inner core - a solid region that is about the size of the Moon - is made up of two parts.
He said: "The fact we are discovering different structures at different regions of the inner core can tell us something about the very long history of the Earth." | ELI5: No mining company is going to send people into the Earth without knowing: A) Where they're going B) Where the explosions will be C) What personnel are going and who they are D) Detailed map of the mine and it's ventilation shafts If you know (relatively) where they are, drilling boreholes isn't the hard part, since that's what they do and they can do it very, very accurately. Hope this helps! Peace! |
How do antivirus apps work? What are the looking for when they “scan” our files? | There are two primary methods for virus detection: signature-based and heuristics-based. A signature-based antivirus program looks at the files on your system and calculates a specific value based on the file's contents. It has a list of values that it knows correspond to viruses and other malware; if it sees one of them pop up on your machine, it knows to delete it. These definitions are updated often, and are very good for detecting and cleaning known threats. Not so good for code that changes, or new threats. Which leads us to... Heuristics. It's a fancy word for a simple concept, and what it boils down to is that your antivirus program will simulate the effects of unknown code in its own private sandbox, and watches the commands as they run. If it looks like a virus, the program will flag it. Advantages: not reliant on signature lists, can detect new variants of old viruses. Disadvantages: can be slower, can generate false positives. | A properly designed root kit installs before the OS loads, so it controls everything the OS can see. It can perfectly disguise itself because it can block any information the OS might use to detect it. |
in which layer of the intestine does most chemical digestion take place | Small intestine The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place. Many of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and liver and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic enzymes and bile from the gallbladder enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in the small intestine in response to the presence of nutrients. Secretin, another hormone produced in the small intestine, causes additional effects on the pancreas, where it promotes the release of bicarbonate into the duodenum in order to neutralize the potentially harmful acid coming from the stomach. | Digestion Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides. However fats are mainly digested in the small intestine.[17] The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption of fatty acids.[17] Complete digestion of one molecule of fat (a triglyceride) results a mixture of fatty acids, mono- and di-glycerides, as well as some undigested triglycerides, but no free glycerol molecules.[17] |

Conservative AM Antoinette Sandbach has been selected as the party's Westminster candidate in a safe seat in Cheshire. | She was selected on Wednesday to fight Eddisbury, where the Tory majority was more than 13,000 in 2010.
If elected in May she would be the first AM to leave Cardiff Bay for a Parliamentary seat in England.
Departing MP Stephen O'Brien has a 13,255 majority.
Ms Sandbach, a north Wales regional AM since 2011, has said she intends to stand down from the assembly if elected.
She said she plans to donate her salary to charity during the campaign.
The constituency stretches from just outside Chester across to Winsford, before skirting around Crewe, Nantwich and Whitchurch.

Will Young has said the issue of students using the word "gay" as an insult in schools needs to be dealt with. | He says local councils have not been taking the problem of homophobic bullying seriously enough.
Writing in the Independent on Sunday, the Pop Idol winner says: "Through the various seminars I attended I picked up one recurring theme, teachers and heads of schools were more than often not backed up by local authorities when it came to homophobic language."
The 34-year-old has revealed he's spoken to the Education Secretary Michael Gove about his concerns.
The two met at a conference in London earlier this year and Young said Mr Gove's reaction was "encouraging".
Research carried out in schools last year by the charity Stonewall found 55% of gay young people experience homophobic bullying and 99% hear the phrases "that's so gay" or "you're so gay" in school.
In July the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, launched a campaign to try to stop homophobic bullying in Church of England schools.
