Question

I have several miscellaneous shabbat-related questions. Thank you for answering... 1. Is it permitted to use a shabbos clock for a wahing machine or dishwasher (or other household appliance)? 2. May one wish a friend "shabbat shalom" on friday afternoon before mincha? 3. Can one make kiddush on wine in a disposable cup? 4. Can one move a fish tank on shabbat? 5. I understand one may drink water on saturday night before havdalah. Can one drink tea or soda (or other water-based beverage) on saturday night before hearing havdala? 6. If one hears havdala while praying the amidah, has he fulfilled his obligation? 7. Can one hang clothes on a hanger on shabbat?
