Traditionally, deli style restaurants outperform all other food concepts in the restaurant market. They simply have a higher profit margin on average. Pizza concepts run a close second.\n\nFor years, the three fastest growing franchises have been:\n1) Subway\n2) Curves\n3) Quiznos\n\nIt's no coincidence that two of the top three are deli restaurants. The third is a women's workout center btw.\n\nWhat really determines how fast a franchise will grow is not the quality of their product or service. It is the Return on Investment (ROI) for their investors and the size of the startup costs. The top three fastest growing franchises all have relatively low startup costs, $100,000-$600,000 depending on the location and the size of the store, with the averages being between $200,000 and $450,000.\n\nThere are however some downsides to starting one of the fastest growing franchises, one downside being market saturation. While the profit margin for deli franchises has always been high, Subways in the past have averaged 25-28% profit margins after royalties, these margins have been dropping fast in the last few years due to market saturation. Basically, most the prime locations are already taken. The growth of the franchises are outpacing new prime location spots being built. What's resulting is that new owners are putting top franchises in less than prime locations and the average profits on those stores are less than the owners were lead to believe they should be. Subway is currently under investigation for mistated potential earnings to their franchisees.\n\nUltimately, the best franchise isn't determined by which frachise has the best record, most profit, etc., though all that should be a consideration. If you really want the right franchise, find an area with plenty of expendable income and a need that is not met. Then find a good, profitable franchise that meets that need to open up. Creating a supply where there is already a demand is always the safest bet.\n\nIf you'd like some help choosing a franchise, or have an idea you think others would pay you money for, and want to build a plan to run and eventually franchise it, contact me.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com


Jean Claude Van Damme's real name is Jean-Claude Van Varenbergh, where as Rob Van Dam's real name is Rob Szatkowski. So no they are not related. Plus the name is spelled different Jean's is Damme and Rob's is Dam.


My interest in Science started to grow during high school, where I excelled in various fields, one of which being Biology. I was an active member in the Science Club, as well as the Recreational Club where I have learnt to work with big groups of people. My participation in Science competitions and my strong interest in Science have won me many accolades and distinctions. \n\nMy true interest however was during the time my father was admitted to hospital with a serious illness, I thought I was going to lose my best friend, and wished that I could have done something to prevent it. My family also has a history of Diabetes. I would want to be able to know what to do to help my family and others in the world control their lives so that they would not suffer the same problems associated with this disease. \n\nFurthermore, during my father's illness, the nurse that took care of him tried to comfort me by telling me about her own experience in her line of work. She was the one that impressed and interested me into pursuing this career in Nursing. From her, I also learnt that a nurse's role is very challenging physically, mentally as well as emotionally as you need to know your job well, yet have a balance of empathy and sympathy for the patients.

I think you have written good! no changes required..


I borrowed some student loans 20 years ago, have paid back some.Recently a collection agency sent me a letter asking me to pay amount of debt more than 3 times the amount I still owed, what do I have to do when I am now unemployed.?

here's an idea: get a job.  But don't worry you aren't alone Lot's of people take 20years to pay off loans.  They are called home mortgages.

You have probably heard this 1 a 100 times, so please excuse me if you have. I am fit and healthy but have an erection problem. I am almost certain is "the mind games" because i frequently get erections when i wake in the morning and so on. The problem is when i go to bed with my partner. It is all I think about, will I, wont I get am erection. I know it is very silly to think this but it is not as easy as you think not too, i have tried many things, like lots of oral sex on her, but because I still think to myself, come on penis get hard for christ sake.\nI solved the problem by taking half of a tablet of viagra, an hour before I went to bed, It went up no probs and I was really happy. What I want to know, is what are the implications of taking Viagra long term, I saw my doctor once at the beginning over my prob and he said it was all in the mind, but easy for them to say that.\nI have thought to myself, well, if a little pill does the trick, nothing to worry about. Advice needed

Just the fact you are asking the question here sound like it is a serious problem.  And as people have mentioned above, natural is much better but I’m sure you already know that.  The longer you take it the more mental block you will have. The problem is that many times it is a vicious cycle, where the more it doesn’t work the more you worry.  I had that problem at a young age and got a new partner which helped.  Not saying you need that but it helped me stop thinking about it, kind of a clean slate.  You can get that in your current relationship though.  Also try having your partner with you while you masturbate and do it together.  Sometimes that will just lead to sex, or maybe don’t let it right away so you aren’t thinking about it the first few times. And always go down on her.  Another way is to stop using a condom if you are (make sure shes clean and on birth control) it eases the time needed between hard on and sex.  Exercise, less caffeine, and proper eating and sleep helped me a great deal.  All of those lead to a better body image and increased circulation and self-esteem.  Doctors agree on all of that. Lastly, once it starts working you will never look back and be fine.  Good luck!


In the past, I have been able to email this address; it is part of my address book.  I have tried emailing by hitting "reply," by inserting contacts, and by typing in the address. I have even tried from other computers. However, I keep getting the message from daemon-maeler that the sender is rejected and it is a permanent problem. Any ideas on what is going on? How can this problem be corrected?

It seems that the person you are trying to mail has blocked e-mails from you account wantedly or accidentally. Contact him/her by phone or any other means and inform him/her about this. Ask the person to correct settings. After doing so, you must be able to send mails. If the bug still continues, contact yahoo customer care group.

I want a true unbiased ansewer.  Set your own belief aside and ansewer the question with statistics objectively.

I'm not sure about them overcrowding so much as they overburden hospitals by not being able to pay their bills which the hospitals have to cover.  I found this from the 'source' listed website which I feel is a good example, not exactly statistics though.  (I don't have time to do that indepth research at the moment). It is an excerpt from a 2005 news story:\n\nOverburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support.\n\nSixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor


he wont be traded until after the playoffs, because the trade deadline has already passed. It is very possible that he will be traded though since he has not played the way he should and likely needs a fresh start.(it likely depends on his performance in the playoffs)


give scientific proof of the theory of blackhole is space,we know black hole is created when any stars or hevenly body dies,distroyed, there is a belief that travel through parallel universe is possible by travelling through black hole?Is it?

It is not a star going supernova that creates a blackhole. Its the collapsing of its core that does. Just wanted to clear that up.\n\nA blackhole is created when a star is so massive (at least 20 times that of our Sun) that the bonds between the atoms, or molecules, are no longer strong enough to fight against the force of gravity.  This causes the star to collapse in on itself, and eventualy create a blackhole.\n\nThere are some beliefs that a blackhole could lead to a parallel universe.  But this gets a bit hazy in details, as no one knows for sure, and its currently impossible to prove or disprove.  A blackhole has an "event horizon", that once you have passed through you cannot get back out, nor can you see past it from the outside.  Because of this event horizon, it is very unlikely that you could get out of the blackhole into another universe .....\n\nHowever ..... A theoretical astronomical body called a white hole has been predicted, although its existence has not yet been proved.  It is the opposite of a blackhole, in that instead of "sucking" up all the matter in its path, it spews it out instead.  IF this exists, then there is a chance that a white-black hole pair could be a gateway to another universe, or another part of our universe.  But I can't stress enough, this is purely theoretical, and absolutely NO proof has been found yet.

Got the best queality part down pact, what about "your worst qualities?"

My response is always, "In the past, I have had a problem of being egotistical and conceited, but I have worked hard overcoming this weakness and now I am perfect."


i think i'm not able to make a choice .\ni can not even decied my cloth's color unless there is someone to do it for me.

Okay if you are not able to decide, it could mean that you had very dominating parents who controlled your childhood for you---you must have had a sheltered life upto now\n\nYOU ARE NOT WEAK---Dont get into this complex---it will only spoil your self confidence\n\nNow you have to LEARN to lead your life for yourself. Train your mind to make decisions---first small things and then the larger issues\n\nGo to the almirah and tell yourself---I am going to decide what to wear---and then take a quick decision---dont linger\n\nKeep telling yourself at least twenty times a day "I can take decisions"---these affirmations will gradually give you courage to face life like an adult \n\nAnd now read all your answers and DECIDE for yourself which is the best answer. Dont just put this question in voting. This will put a smile on your face and give you confidence\n\nBest of luck!!!

They been Here for Millions of years before us. but Apparently, We were "created" just seven days after the earth. you can`t tell me there was no such thing as dinosaurs.

So much info out there about your question.  Get a hold of a book by Ken Ham.......Dinosaurs and the Bible.  \n(creation scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s.........)Dragons are mentioned in the Bible. It's very interesting.


my hubby and i split for 2weeks .we got back together on the promice that he wood no longer spend his time at the bars.the next day i found condoums in are room.he tolled me\nhe never planed on useing them.i wanted things to work so i looked away.today he is at the bar and has been since i came home.why ask me to come home if he couldent keep his word.if its not another women then what.

Ok so i clearly have OCD, but i think there is a good reason for it, but i forgot to mention it is kinda taking over my life.like i cant go certain places touch certain things, all very werid to you im sure. But it seems logical to me because of the reason i wont go into. Well i guess the short story is theres a person i need to avoid as much as possible because they are BAD. and if i dont then i feel really dirty. i know it sounds mad to the average person. but im not average.

Well first of all, please don't belittle yourself for what you are going through, and I have a friend who seriously battles this every day. 1) Do some research, and take a look at some professional studies, and behavior modifications that can help you. I am not someone to advocate medication, but you might want to check with a physician to see if there is a medication for anxious people that you could try (maybe with a lower anxiety level, you may find the OCD easier to handle) there are behavior techniques that you can learn, and there are groups on-line and offline that you can go and exchange information and learn from others who have similar problems. Sometimes knowing that there are other people who truly understand you can be a great help. Use the Internet to your advantage, and spend some time reading on coping with a disorder like OCD, and you don't sound mad, you sound worried, and troubled, and you sound like this is something you really face, so don't worry about average. Does anyone really know what is average anyway? I hope this helps, and I wish you the best.

i proposed a trade of me getting jose conteras of the whitesox and i traded jim edmonds and tom glavine away for him wat would be the percentage of them accepting this trade.if ur worried bout my outfield its pretty solid here they are hideki matsui garrett anderson jermaine dye shanon stewart and torii hunter.if ur concerned about my pitching here they are sp pedro martinez sp josh beckett p ervin santana p mike maroth p chien mang wang rp derrick turnbow rp dave weathers dl c.c. sabathia

Well I guess it depends on if you think Glavine is falling fall and Jose is on the rise, as I do. I think Glavine is off to a great start but he will return to his normal numbers soon. On the other hand Jose is at the start of his career and I think he is finding his true form and will have an amazing year. And since Jim is not know for his bat anyways and you have a strong outfield....throw him in there too. I'd do the trade.


a constant horizontal force F of magnitude 12N is applied to a uniform solid cylinder by fishing line wrapped around the cylinder. teh mass of the cylinder is 10kg, its radius is 0.1m, and teh cylinder rolls smoothlyon the horizontal surface. what is the magnitude of teh acceleration of teh center of mass of the cylinder?

When the cylinder rolls, there is a force F=15N at the top and a static frictional force f preventing slipping.\neverything in usual notation,\nacceleration A=R*a (a=angular acceleration)\nNewton's second law implies'\nMA=F-f         (resultant force)\nalso for torques,\nIa=FR+fR         (for the axis passing through the centre)\nFRom the two equatins,\n2F=mA+Ia/R\ni.e.  2F=maR+Ia/r\n   a=2F/(mR+I/R)\nI=0.5MR^2=0.05\nplugging hte values,\na=16 \ntherefore, A=aR\n            =16*0.1\n           A=1.6

I sent him a letter requesting he contact me via phone but no answer as of yet.

If you purchased the property knowing that the survey showed the fence being over the line onto the property that you were purchasing, then you will not be able claim that you were unaware of the situation. Surveys are done for that very reason, to show where problems exist. You should have required the previous owner to deal with the issue and get it resolved before you closed the deal, but you let him off the hook. \n\nNow, its your problem, and if your neighbor will not cooperate and remove the fence, you may have to file a lawsuit, or risk losing the strip of land. If you damage the fence yourself, your neighbor may file suit against you, and you may be required to repair or replace it at your expense, if your neighbor has established rights based on the fence.


Maybe you haven't looked in all the right places. Try again. Good Luck....

As a Software Developer, how much overtime do you have to put in, do you get paid for it and how do you feel about the generally accepted notion that overtime is not to be paid to permanent staff in the IT industry.

If you want to get paid for overtime you need to become a consultant \ contractor. You won't receive any benefits, paid holidays, vacation, sick leave, 401 K, etc etc. But, if you're talented then you will do better earning an hourly wage.\n\nIf you have the talent, skill set & are willing to take the risk I strongly suggest going consulting. The work is significantly more interesting & challenging.\n\nYou also stay ahead of the tech curve. You are asked to solve many different types of problems for many different types of companies. It keeps you sharp and you get to use all the latest & greatest toys. \n\nPermenant employees usually get pigeon-holed onto a project or team. They either maintain the same code for years on end or write systems using the exact same tired old methods & technologies. As a result their marketability and skil set usually stagnates. \n\nIt is a shame that it happens that way. But, it is also reality.

In 1856, bones of an unrecognizable hominid turned up in Germany's Neander Valley. This early human and others like it—sturdy, large-headed individuals—came to be known as Neanderthals. Despite a century and a half of study and debate, Neanderthals remain an enigma. Were they our ancestors, or an evolutionary dead-end? Were they assimilated into early modern (Cro Magnon) populations, or were they wiped out en masse in a Pleistocene genocide? "Neanderthals on Trial" investigates this long-standing mystery.\n\nOriginal broadcast

I can only find 16, but have been told it is there 20 times.

There are only 17 that are there all the time. On the front there is one in each corner(4), it says "one" at the bottom(5),it says "one" over the green seal(6). On the back it says one in the middle(7), it says "one" at the bottom(8), It says "one" in each corner(12), it has a number one in each corner as well(16), and then it has a I roman numeral at the base of the pyramid(17). The person who told you probally counted the serial numbers and/or the date.


Can someone please explain, "economic rent seeking" as it pertains to market power and monopolies.  Thanks in advance.

Under perfect competition economic profits of competing companies are zero (unlike accounting profits, economic profits take into account your opportunity costs - what else could you if you were not in this business). So, companies are trying to find ways to move away from perfect competition and start receiving economic profits. How do they do that? In many different ways - patents, trademarks etc. create legal barriers for competition. Another way would be trying to position your product (through advertising, for example) and convince consumers that it is different. Finally, the can get involved into economic rent seeking - lobbying the government to limit competition through tariffs and other regulations.

i just cant figure out how they do the scoring

In a league using Rotisserie scoring, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Each fantasy team receives points in each category based on how they rank in the league. Each team's category points are totaled to determined their overall rotisserie score. \nThe maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nIf you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144]. \n\nRotisserie standings reflect cumulative season stats and not any single-day accumulation of stats. Your rotisserie total may rise or fall from day-to-day depending on how your rank in each category was impacted by the addition of stats from the most recently completed day.

if I have a transition matrix A (say a 3x3 matrix) and a initial condition vector, say x_0, and x has a limit so A*x_infinity=x_infinity and x_infinity=(x_infinity,y_infinity,z_infinity) how would this describe a linear system of four equations?  How would I set this up?

I assume you are talking about a Markov chain here? Your system Ax = x will not have a unique solution (I won't go into detail why, but it has to do with the fact that every row of a Markov transition matrix sums to 1). To handle this, you need to add an additional constraint that the sum of all the elements in the vector x must be 1 (this holds since the elements of x represent probabilities, and the sum of the probabilities of all possible events must be 1). This becomes the fourth equation.\n\nIf you don't understand how the matrix equation Ax = x translates into linear equations, let a_ij be the element in the ith row and jth column of A, and let x_1, x_2, and x_3 be the elements of the vector x. Then Ax = x is equivalent to the system\na_11*x_1 + a_12*x_2 + a_13*x_3 = x_1\na_21*x_1 + a_22*x_2 + a_23*x_3 = x_2\na_31*x_1 + a_32*x_2 + a_33*x_3 = x_3\n\nThen add the normalizing constraint x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 1 and you're done.

I have just come out of a crisis meeting with some investors in a business I'm trying to start up. In the heat of the moment I may have told them a couple of things that I'm not 100% sure of.  I thought I would ask here to check...\n\n1. Is it possible to breed a dog with a parrot?\n2. Is there any reason why the resulting animal would not make a decent household pet?\n\nSerious answerers only please: if this pans out, we'll make a fortune in talking dogs. If it doesn't, it's very likely that I'm going to go to jail when these guys audit the books.

You can throw a lady dog and a boy parrot in a sack and see what happens. Be sure to play Barry White to get them in the mood. Do you think the dog would lay an egg? hehehe. That'd be awesome.


We have known each other for 2 years now, and her friends all say she does, but she has never.  She tells me she doesnt talk about these things when I ask her.  It hurts to hear, and I am too close to her to read the signals.  I don't take hints very well.  She is very tactile with me recently and has become more relaxed ... but I just can't tell.  Are there any 'for sure' signs I could watch for to go on?  Thanks all.

Every morning i wake up with a dry throat and a dry nose, my nose and eyes both are swollen...I think it may be the air system (which is always on) which is causing my problems. Any other suggestions? And what can i do to help my problem?

You need to check your filter in the air intake of your air system, if it hasn't been changed recently you need to change it there only a couple of bucks their are more expensive ones. Take out the one you have take it with you to the hardwares store. You might have allergies. They are pretty common during the spring time. Don't sleep with your windows open. Pollen could play a big part in your swelling and irritation if you live in an area that has budding trees or flowers. Use eye drops that are hydrating drops. Put a humidifier in your room if the air is dry. Change your pillow cases at least a couple times a week and air out your pillows. If symptoms persist I would recommend that you see a doctor. You could have a sinus infection and may need antibiotics.


I'm trying to get better at soccer because all my friends play.  What are the positions of soccer?  Please explain the game to a non-soccer player.

Go to the library and get a video or a book. In general soccer has forwards, midfielders, and defenders. Some people call defenders fullbacks, stoppers, sweepers, or something else. There is also a goalie who may be known as the keeper--the goalkeeper. Hope this helps.

My guy came home at 1 am from celebrating his friends birthday.  He passed out in the doorway on the floor, he peed on himself and pooped on himself before he barfed his guts up.  Now he is in bed and unresponsive.  How do I help him... he is 2 hours late for work and he hasn't even called his job.  He isn't gonna die is he (alcohol poisoning)?

call his job and tell them you found him very sick this morning and he is not making any sense. This way he does not get fired.  Is he still alive have you checked?


Why are Christians the only ones who feel that they need do force their religions on other people? Why do they do it?

I guess they think they will get more cookies at snack time for the more people they recruit.  But they aren't the only ones.  I keep getting recruitment letters from  Muslims as well, 'trying to make me understand'.  HA!  Not happening and I tell them that.  It just seems like Christians do it most because, especially in the US, they have the most followers.  I don't think they really realize they are just driving us further away.

This is for a biology lab. If you know any type of tests or if you have any suggestions to help with this lab it will be greatly appreciated. Do you know anything about this topic?

In humans, there is an age-related drop in certain kinds of learning, but an interesting increase in other types of learning, such as social-situational skill.  In rats and mice, there is a drop in memory ability both sensory and motor.  Commonly used tests for humans are the mini-mental state test, or even more simply just an IQ test.  For rodent, many tests are available depending on what you want to measure.  There is avoidance testing, in which a negative motivation in present (this is usually a small shock to the foot, loud noise, or bright light), there are radial-arm mazes with rewards or avoidance, the Barne's maze (usually used for mice), and the classic water maze, in which a platform is present underneath the (cloudy) water.  If using a mouse, I would choose 1 month old, for very early adult (usually the best learning) 3 months for mid adult, and 6 months for late middle age-perhaps 9 months for a really old mouse.  Increase the ages by 1.5X for rats (so 6 weeks, 4.5 months, 9 months, etc).

K so I just meet this amazing guy.  First non asshole I have ever meet in my life, usually they tear me apart and i have learned my lesson and now i'm head over heels for this wonderful dream guy who is the defination of perfect.\n\nWe had a talk today and he say's he always dates girls with entention of dating them for years.  I'm leaving for college in 3 months far away and I have decided a long time ago that I will go to college single and I don't do long distance, but he dosn't know if he could date a girl knowing we would break up in 3 months.\n\nPersonally I think it's a waste of 3 months if we can't have each other before I leave.\n\nBetter idea to have each other for 3 months and risk heart break\n\nor\n\nspare the heart ake and attachment

i personally feel that the two of you should try and stay in contact you know be friends. this way it gives you and him the chance to develop a relationship on a higher level....communication. who's to say that he is the one for you, you might find out in the long run that he wasn't the correct choice for you and because you are taking the time to get to know him mentally you will  more than likely have no regrets. and if its meant to be he'll be there for you. plus the relationship will be a strong one because you took the time to get to know each other.  lastly even though you are going away to school you do get breaks and time off to go see your love ones...this can be the time you spend with him to catch up on the time you spent apart.

Ladies feel free to weigh in on silicone vs. natural too please.

I think it depends on the guy -- whether or not he is superficial.  For me, being a guy, I like women with natural breasts, even if they're small.  Dating a woman with fake breasts is ok, but it would inevitably become a turn off every time we make out ("Damn, I'm squeezing fake titties... I hope they don't pop..." etc.)\n\nAs for weighing in fake vs. natural, from a medical perspective, there are lots of problems and things that can go wrong with implants.  For one, a botched job can have fake breasts ending down on a lady's tummy, or worse, swollen and infected.  There was a special on Entertainment Tonight about botched breast jobs, and one of the ladies had so many repeat surgeries, her nipple rotted and fell off.  Even with a good job, breast implants may cause back pains, and tenderness.\n\nIt's understandable if it is seriously a quality of life issue, but otherwise, my opinion is that it is a waste of money and too much trouble for what it's worth.


my neck doesn't hurt much but it hurts the left my arms when changeing clothes

Yes.  Different nerves run to different parts of the shoulder or arm.  I recommend you go to a physiotherapist, and tell the person exactly where it hurts, and what makes the pain worse or better.  They often take several visits to do much good, so be prepared for that.\n\nThey may use manipulation, heat, ultrasound and / or massage, to relieve the pain.  They should describe exercises for you to do, in between seeing them.\n\nPersonally, I generally just resort to analgesics and wait for it to settle of its own accord, but I have gone to a physiotherapist, for a few problems, over the years.

Possible answers include\ndifferential leveling with a closed loop to check closure,\ntrigonometric leveling,\nor gps leveling.

It all depends on the accuracy you want. If you are trying to obtain first order work I would use differential leveling with a closed loop to check closure.\nTrigonometric leveling is only good for short distances and gps still has some accuracy problem. However, it you in the middle of nowhere (desert, natural wilderness) then you should consider gps. \nBut as I mentioned before, for the best results, highest order, and if you are in an urban setting I’d go for differential leveling with a closed loop to check closure.


like how do you prepare your self and your team for a tournament with big proportions

If your team is in the competition, continue drills, lots of hydration the week before (definitely have every player at LEAST double-up on water), make sure you have your roster set. Scope out teams that you can.\n\nFor watching? Take some notes on the really good plays you see, and practice them the next time you possibly can.


can anyone u meet in chat room and find your IP address or any information and boots you (shuts off or freeze ) your computer...how? and also how to stop them doing that?

Just some thoughts:  In general, the answer is NO.  But, it is possible for you to have a private virus that you unknowingly installed by clicking yes to some pop-up\nwindow.  The virus was written by the person on the chat and\nmade just for you.  It examines your cookie folder for\nsome certain bit of information and when it finds it, it does what it was supposed to trigger, such as shutdown your\ncomputer, etc.  This is just a hypothetical example.\nA true expert can do just about anything.\n\nBy the way, to "boot" your computer means to start it, not\n"shut-off" or "freeze" your computer.  There are systems\nfor starting computer remotely, but you need to have configured them yourself and have a motherboard that supports that feature.

Kentucky\n\nIn the fall of 1808, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on the 348 acre Sinking Spring Farm. Two months later on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin near the Sinking Spring. Here the Lincolns lived and farmed before moving to land a few miles away at Knob Creek. The area was established by Congress on July 17, 1916. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved in a memorial building at the site of his birth.


In NYS can a landlord padlock your door if you are in dispute over a portion of the rent?  I deducted an amount for damage done to my sofa from my rent (Less than a third of my rent) from my current rent and I'm curious if they can lock me out of my apartment.

NO!!! Unless your landlord has gone through the procedures (i.e. the court system) to remove you from your apartment for nonpayment of rent or any other breech of the lease, they CANNOT constructively evict you.  Call the Attorney General's office and ask them for a tenant's rights guide and in the meantime get some bolt cutters and cut the lock.  Of course, if your landlord DID go through eviction proceedings in court, you're out of luck.


I love my Pens, and i know that ticket sales have nearly doubled since the draft of the great "Sid-the-Kid" Crosby, who by the way is the REAL DEAL (trust me i watched every game this year).  But lets face it, this team needs serious help.  Who is availible that would most help the Pens out?  I know nothing about college hockey, but i have heard that theres not a real stand out player/players like crosby or ovechkin in this years draft.  So who and why him?  Thanks!

I say Erik Johnson if the Blues don't take him.  He is the consensus #1 prospect this year and would give us a legitimate blue-chip prospect on defense to compliment Crosby, Malkin, Whitney, Welch, and Fleury.  \n\nIf he's gone by the 2nd pick, which is very likely, I say we take Kessel.  The next several prospects ranked below EJ are Kessel, Staal, Toews, and Backstrom.  For these guys, their is no consensus on who is going to be better than who.  They are ALL centers and that is a problem for us--we have Crosby, Malkin, and Malone already with Christensen and Stone in the pipeline. We have to decide out of these possible draftees the one we think will project into a NHL winger the best.  The answer, in that case, is Kessel--his speed and shot would make him a good choice at wing.  His success is mainly from his physical talent, rather than hockey sense.  He is a very risky, but very high reward prospect. He could turn into the poor man's Pavel Bure or as easily become the next Alexandre Daigle. \n\nSupposedly, Mark Malone, the head scout, is really high on Jordan Staal--the third of the Staal brothers.  From what little video I've seen of him, I just don't find him all that impressive.  He doesn't remind me of Eric that much, but who knows, the bloodline is definitely there.\n\nJonathan Toews (pronounced Taves), is probably a good guy to take if you want the "safest" pick.  If he doesn't pan out at  his natural position of center, or even as a winger, his two-way game and grit can make him a good third-liner as well.\n\nBackstrom, a Swedish prospect playing in the SEL, is the oldest of the bunch and has been called the "next Forsberg".  I don't know much about him, but he would probably be the most NHL ready, as he is already playing against grown men. He is supposedly under contract with his SEL team for another two years though.

I just moved here recently, and I was curious if there are free resources for people seeking therapy. I can't really afford to pay for it at the moment, and not sure if my medical insurance covers it - I'm still on my mom's for prescriptions and whatnot, being a student, but she lives in California (Kaiser). \n\nI know there are group therapy sessions, but I don't think I would feel comfortable talking with a group of people. Where should I look for one-on-one therapy sessions for those that can't afford the $200 an hour therapists? Do such things exist?

Hi,\n\nFist of all, yes, free mental health treatment exists.  It is usually through the county and community centers and, like all free treatment, there is usually a wait.  If you would like to find out about places like this in your community, you should call the "crisis line or suicide hotline" (the number is usually on the first page of the phonebook)  - you DO NOT have to be sucicidal to call.  It's just that those people are trained counselors, they know all the resources of the city and could give you some quick telephone numbers and/or guide you in the right direction.\n\nOther ideas:  Since you are a student, you may qualify for free or practically free mental health visits (depending on your student health plan and how big your university is).  I would check this out for sure.  Most student have student health insurance and don't even know it.  Most campuses have a health clinic.\n\nRegarding the fact that you are on your mother's health insurance in California, it may cost you a little more to see a therapist up there, but you can still do it and the therapist can bill her insurance.  If you go through the Kaiser system up there, you might not have to pay anything extra at all.  Since Kaiser is Kaiser in every state (unlike other insurance) maybe you'll be completely covered.  Call Kaiser to ask.  There should be a number for mental health services on your insurance card, or just call the local Kaiser hospital or clinic.  If you want to keep this confidential from your mother, make sure to mention that and see what their procedure is for that situation.\n\nLastly, support groups are a WONDERFUL help to so many people, they are totally free and YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK.  It is totally up to you if you want to share something or not.  Don't be afraid to go.  However, unlike a lot of people, I think you do have some other options you should try first - maybe in this order:  Kaiser, student health, criis line, self-help groups.  \n\nNo matter what, you will be able to find what you need.  Just hang in there and be patient - sometimes people on the phone don't know what they are talking about, so if it doesn't make sense, ask to speak to the supervisor or call back and try to get a different person.\n\nI hope this helps and I am glad that you are making the efforts to get support for yourself in a new city - that's intimidating, but you know people in Portland are basically nice, right? :)\n\nTake care... I wish you well...

I got a DUI and with an accident, my court hearings for the DUI finished, but now this women is claiming she is injured sooooo badly and came up with 24,000 is bills and what not. The judge took off 12,000 because she also listed the brand car she bought, I haven't seen the police report, and the judge is really mean to me.  He gave me 3 months to make alot of progress on payments, but first he wanted 1000 a month or he said he'll through me in jail.  I barely make that much in a month. I'm saving everything I can before my court date but according to my earnings and college I can't pay more than 100 at the most,and I'm scared this judge is going to put me in jail for this. I lose everything, I can't even hire an attorney too expensive. What should I do ?????????

What should you do? First, learn how stupid it is to drink and DRIVE! Now that we have the moron part out of the way, take the money you have, and HIRE AN ATTORNEY!!! You cannot do this on your own. An attorney may can get you probation, and have the restitution set up as payments as a special condition of probation. That is the way things SHOULD go. But after you learn how stupid it is to drive drunk, you need to learn how stupid it is to try to represent yourself in court on such a serious matter. This isn't the people's court you're dealing with. It's the real deal. And trust me. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO JAIL. You won't like it there. Be smart, and hire someone that is smarter.


where should I put my hands while makeing out?

Are you sitting in a car or at a show? or are you standing up? Sitting down, slip your arm behind her back and shoulders. Usually the other hand is around her midriff. Some place their hand on her face and chin. If your standing, she will probably put her arms around your neck and then your arms will go behind to her back and shoulders. Caress her softly, pull her close aggressively and  tell your hands to stay away from her butt and boobs for now.

economic rational of price discrimination policy in marketing

The basic rationale behind price discrimination is that the firm can maximize profit by having each of its customers pay the most they are willing to pay for the firm's product (assuming the price at least covers costs).  In the airline business, it will cost you a lot more to buy a ticket 1 day in advance rather than 30.  This is because the people who typically wait until the last minute to purchase airline tickets are willing to pay a lot for them.  By price discriminating certain market segments, like children or the elderly, the firm can encourage certain segments to purchase from the firm.  These segments may cost less in the long run for the firm to serve (middle aged people may be more likely to complain than the elderly, for example) and offering such discounts may make the firm appear to be more socially conscious.


i miss laguna beach... does any1 have any idea when season 3 premieres?! and/ or what happens in season 3?!

Well, seeing as the last two seasons both premiered either mid-July or late July, you should expect the third season to be the same.  The show The Hills comes out in May, too.  That's the one that documents LC's whole escapade with the internship with Teen Vogue.  As for what the third season is about, the new characters are centered around LC's little sister and her friends. That's all I know.


From sin, eternal life was lost, 930, 962, 969 and 950 and age decline means the eternal life day of 1000 years was lost, so in the flood the life sustaining earth was lost and age declined to a form of a very temporary life. So what about the promise of a new heavens and a new earth and about the first thing is Jesus 1000 year eternal life day reign?

Earth will be destroyed by fire or by a nuclear war. In support of this belief, some point to Revelation 21:1, which says: “I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.”\n\nThe Bible often uses the term “earth” in a figurative sense, referring to mankind. An example is found at Genesis 11:1, which says: “All the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words.” (See 1 Kings 2:1, 2; Psalm 96:1.) At Revelation 21:1, “the former earth” refers, not to this planet, but to wicked human society that will be destroyed. This will open the way for the restoration of Paradise on earth. (Luke 23:43;  Revelation 21:4) And this agrees with the rest of the Bible, which indicates that the literal earth will never be destroyed. For instance, Psalm 104:5 states that God “has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.” ( Ecclesiastes 1:4.) Indeed, Jehovah ‘formed the earth to be inhabited’ eternally.—Isaiah 45:18.\n\nIn the Christian Greek Scriptures, earthly governments and their peoples are shown to be subject to Satanic rule. \nThe apostle Paul referred to “the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places,” with their governments, authorities, and world rulers. (Eph 6:12) So the passing away of “the former heaven” indicates the end of political governments along with Satan and his demons. This identification of “the former heaven” harmonizes with the fact that shortly before the statement concerning the ‘former heaven having passed away,’ John had seen a vision of the complete defeat of Satan’s forces and the casting of Satan into “the abyss.” (Re 19:19–20:3) The earthly subjects of Satan’s rule are destroyed prior to his abyssing, as shown at Revelation 19:17, 18.

i need a bf. I'm 25 and i'm so lonely. What should i do? I'm dying out of being alone and with no one to love.HELPPPPPPPP

Sweetheart, you've got to get yourself out there.  There is a good book, of course I can't recall the name of it... but it's about how to get a man by using business strategies.  It has been highly successful.  Check out your local bookstore or at Amazon.  Also, you can go on line, heck I've met men that way, my friends have and I even found a guy for my sister whom she is going to marry (and he's wealthy and a NICE guy to boot!) You've  GOT to take control of this situation and stop waiting for your prince to come to you. It's likely not going to happen.  First, think of the kind of man you want and then MAKE YOURSELF a companion to that kind of man, and you will then attract one like you want.


When somebody likes you and the other day he finds out that you pierce your nose and the other day told me that he had a girlfriend to not be with me because he don't like it.

Yeah, its stupid. He's quite shallow if he cares that you pierced your nose, hes not worth it.


ive taken duramine before for 3 weeks and the effect i had were the constant head rushes, no energy and unquenching thirst. i stopped fr a few months and continued. but the second time i took the pills, i couldnt sleep. the insomnia was killing me. i was really tired but no matter how hard i tried, i couldnt get myslf to sleep. \ni need the pills. i know its bad for me. but i dont have time for regular excercise. but im scared of the no sleep effect. what can i do? any other diet pills that y could recommend?

There is all kind of diet pills out there. I've taken alot of them. The last two I tried were Liptopril that worked but I found myself getting angry alot while taking them. And then, Trimspa, that stuff works too. And it has no caffeine or caffeine like stimulants. But if you are allergic to shellfish then you can't take it.


that's all he writes.  Why does he do that?  Does he come back later with more?  Or is that it?

Mainworry's main worry is how to get points and place high up. he seems to thinks if he preached jesus for those 2 points questioner got a good deal.\n\n i would understand if his cut n paste job of bible is answering the question even remotely. it would be OK. but often it is 100% irrelevant. \n\nit is equivalent to reenagers' answering idk.


Glucose is a hyperglycemic it increases the BGL. It is used for diabetic hypo. In normal people this increase in glucose level stimulates insulin so the level falls. Its a balance between insulin, lowering blood glucose and other hormones like glucagon, adrenalin,steroids which increase the glucose level. Insulin is absent or low or ineffective in Diabetics so there is hyperglycemia. in diabetes--hypo occurs when you take the pill or shot and dont have food. the blood sugar falls dangerously low and the patient faints. The brain needs glucose 24*7. if there isnt glucose for 8 min or so there will be brain damage. In that case u give glucose IV and/or glucagon.


A Dodge Ram Van 1992 in good running condition was donate to a poor family in November 2005.  The Taxpayer's income only consists of a Retirement Pension and Social Security.  Can that donation be deductible when filing 2005 income tax?

actually yes because. even if it is given to you as a gift you still have to pay taxes on it when you go to register it and the person has to give you a letter saying you paid 1.00 for it


I've known her now for 6 months. When I first saw her, I found her very attractive so I started to flirt. Of course, the more I talked to her and got to know her...the more I started to like her. She was single too so I thought maybe something could happen. Well, I kept it to myself and didn't tell her right away. I then finally told her that I liked her...after I found out she was going back out with a ex boyfriend. I was not going to tell her still but she noticed how I acted when I found out she was not single anymore. So..I told her I liked her. She broke up with a few weeks later. Then for around 5 months of hanging out, I started to really like her. I mean, after everytime I would get home from a night being with her..I would really miss her. The only problem is that she had told me she just wanted to be friends because she didnt want to ruin the friendship. Thats understandable I guess...but there were times when she would be like..leading me on. I am so lost and confused.

It's hard when you want more than friendship from someone who isn't sure...and that is what this sounds like.  Just be patient...the best relationships start with friendship, don't push her...if it is meant to be, it'll happen!  If it isn't someone will come into your life when you least expect it and you will understand better why "this one" didn't work out!  Good Luck!!!


Assuming spirituality is that which enhances this understanding, brings you peace of mind, makes you happier, more compassionate, awakens a want to serve etc. It makes you realize that your life is much more than what you think it is.

im not all that spiritual now but yes i would like to get to know god and build a relationship w him


For the reaction 2 H2O(g) <=>2 H2(g) +O2(g), K= 2.4 x 10^-3\nat a given temperature. At equlilibrium it is found that H2O= 1.1 x 10^-1 M and H2= 1.9 x 10^-2 M. what is the concentration of O2 under these conditions?

At equilibrium, we have this below relationship between K and the concentration of all species.\n     \n　　　　　　　　　　　　　[H2]^2 [O2]\n　　　　　　　　　　　K= ----------------\n　　　　　　　　　　　　　　[H2O]^2\n\nSo we could get the answer by solving this equation.


What positive or negative effects resulted from this decision?

The Senate was upset because they didn't want the League of Nations deciding if there should be war or not. \n\nWe eventually had World War II, but I think that was more due to the depression from the rest of the Treaty of Versailles--German reparations.

I currently have 2 software raid5 arrays in a Linux fileserver that I would like to upgrade to hardware raid. Is there a one-stop method for doing this ? Ideally I'd like to be able to buy a new server and pull the drives and insert them directly into the new server without any extra work.

You will simply need to purchase a PCI RAID controller card.

I have a relatively low club speed...using Rawlings mid-flex 450cc driver. I shoot a bit over a hundred on average. Wehat is the best ball for my low-speed swing? I have been shooting Nike Super Fly balls, but I am thinking that maybe the compression isn't right for me and I should change...\nSo if you have golf expertise help me out here...

The Callaway HX Hot golf balls are actually pretty decent for your money. And even though most people think bigger is better, if you shoot over 100 you might want to think about using a driver with a smaller head.  You probably hit a high slice with a head that big because it's a lot harder to get it through the ball with a low-swing speed. A smaller head will also help to increase your swing-speed.


conspiracy theory: attempts to explain the cause of an event as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance. (wikipedia definition) \n\nmen on the moon... the holocaust... the september 11th plane crash into the pentagon... weapons of mass destruction in iraq... the existence of ALL have been contested.\n\nhere's a case you may NOT have heard about:  the late senator paul wellstone (D-minn) was killed in a 2002 plane crash north of duluth. he was a polarizing force, very liberal politically. for this reason he made many friends, and a few enemies as well. the plane crashed in an accident during a snowstorm... but there's more to it.\n\nhttp://www.oilempire.us/wellstone.html\nhttp://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/oct2002/well-o29.shtml\n\nif you think hard enough, you can always come up with a reason why or why not.  it all depends on what you WANT to believe. are conspiracies really that prevalent, or are people just paranoid?   \n\nbonus: how do you make up YOUR mind?

Conspiracy-a planning or acting secretively,esp.for an unlawful or harmful purpose,such as murder or treason.\n\nParanoid-characterized by extreme suspiciousness,grandiose,delusions,or delusions of persecution.\n\nOk,Starting from the bottom again! :) I made up my mind by looking up the definitions in my dictionary just to make it clear to myself that I can make an informed decision.\n\nI know now that I am definitely NOT paranoid! WHEW!!! Good to know that!\n\nI don't believe that conspiracies or conspirators are extremely prevalent EVERYWHERE. There are instances or occurrences that happen,and personally I think the news and other media sources play it up all they can. Who knows! Do they want us all to be paranoid? I for one will not let that happen. I don't think I have even a suspicious nature to my personality. Who knows again! Maybe I'm just being naive?!


for example the guy is 20 and the girl is 25. i think it is alright because the girl is more mature then if she was younger. let me hear ur opinions

There is nothing wrong. You are 20. \n\nCompatibility? Now it will look good but when you get older you will be 25 and she will be 30, When you are at 35 she will be in 40. So marrage will be a issue as you will be in the phase of exploring and she will be in the phase of settling and will you be able to form a family. \n\nMan of the house has loooot of responsibility and very rarely womens would like to take the role and if your woman is willing to take the role then there wont be a problem, if not then there is a big problem. A guy gets settle mostly at the age of 35-40 and a woman will have to waite patiently for it and will a 40-45 year old woman be able to be patient? i dont think so as she would like to take some rest.\n\nSex would be fun to start with. But is it just sex alone enough?\n\nI have seen young fathers ending up without knowing what to do as they are young have kids. Divorce- allimony at the age of 30 does it sound good?


The question will be a little complex...\nTibet has ben litterally invaded by China. \nTibetan have been and are still, with proof to support the fact, persecuted.\n\nCould we say that the non-violent approach of the Buddhist Tibetan poeple may have provoked more violence to themselves, to the point of actually loosing their culture, and the teaching of non-violence in itself ?\n\nIf there is no more culture to teach and embody non-violence, can we say it self defeating ?\n\nCan we extrapolate and assume there is a violent reality about the Tibetan in the powerlessness they have ?\n\nThe question is complex, take your time...\n\nThank you.

Until the invasion of China into Tibet in 1959, Tibet has been a sovereign country for centuries. Being forcefully overrun by an other country is rarely pleasant, but for the Tibetans it turned into a real disaster in the years following the take-over. People died during the invasion, although few Tibetans (being Buddhist) fought. Later consequences of Mao's policies proved devastating to the country.\nFor example, the central Beijing government ordered that certain crops should be grown in Tibet. Many of these crops were simply not suitable for the high altitude climate, resulting in many Tibetans starving to death.\nPossibly the best known disaster is the fact that in Tibet nearly all culture, philosophy and education was tightly related to Buddhism. As in Mao's China religion was considered a poison to the people, Tibetan Buddhism was almost literally wiped out. Of the estimated 6,000 monasteries, nunneries and temples only a handful were not fully destroyed. Monks and nuns were forced to break their vows and often killed if they were not prepared to break them. With the destruction of Buddhism, nearly all of Tibets cultural identity also vanished.\nHis Holiness the Dalai Lama is probably the best known propagator to a peaceful solution for the preservation of Tibetan culture and religion, but the Chinese authorities have managed not only to ignore his efforts, but to virtually bully the rest of the world into silence on the subject. (Often along the lines of: "If you want to trade with us, shut up on human rights." This method even bullied the Americans into submission....)\n\nconsidering china's population & weapons, do you think tibetans can defend themselves, even without buddhism?\n\nCould we say that the non-violent approach of the Buddhist Tibetan poeple may have provoked more violence to themselves, to the point of actually loosing their culture, and the teaching of non-violence in itself ?\n\nWar is out of date, obsolete. (dalai lama)\n1st realization: changing, decaying is inevitable.\n\nMany Buddhists have refused to take up arms under any circumstances, even knowing that they would be killed as a result. The Buddhist code that governs the life of monks permits them to defend themselves, but it forbids them to kill, even in self-defence.\n\nFor Buddhist countries this poses the difficult dilemma of how to protect the rights and lives of their citizens without breaking the principle of nonviolence.\n\nThe pure Buddhist attitude is shown in this story:\n\n    "A Vietnam veteran was overheard rebuking the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, about his unswerving dedication to non-violence.\n\n    'You're a fool' said the veteran 'what if someone had wiped out all the Buddhists in the world and you were the last one left. Would you not try to kill the person who was trying to kill you, and in doing so save Buddhism?!'\n\n    Thich Nhat Hanh answered patiently 'It would be better to let him kill me. If there is any truth to Buddhism and the Dharma it will not disappear from the face of the earth, but will reappear when seekers of truth are ready to rediscover it.\n\n    'In killing I would be betraying and abandoning the very teachings I would be seeking to preserve. So it would be better to let him kill me and remain true to the spirit of the Dharma.'"


i need advice and all the details concaining this field

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nIn modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence, civil engineering is a profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live.\n\nEngineering has developed from observations of the ways natural and constructed systems react and from the development of empirical equations that provide bases for design. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. In fact, engineering was once divided into only two fields--military and civil. Civil engineering is still an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties.\n\nengineering, profession devoted to designing, constructing, and operating the structures, machines, and other devices of industry and everyday life.\n\nCivil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g., railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).\n\nJob Definition\n    Apply theory and principles of civil engineering in planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of structures and facilities under the direction of engineering staff or physical scientists.\n\nTasks\n    Calculate dimensions, square footage, profile and component specifications, and material quantities, using calculator or computer.\n    Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects and to ensure conformance to specifications.\n    Analyze proposed site factors and design maps, graphs, tracings, and diagrams to illustrate findings.\n    Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements.\n    Prepare reports and document project activities and data.\n    Confer with supervisor to determine project details, such as plan preparation, acceptance testing, and evaluation of field conditions.\n    Inspect project site and evaluate contractor work to detect design malfunctions and ensure conformance to design specifications and applicable codes.\n    Plan and conduct field surveys to locate new sites and analyze details of project sites.\n    Develop plans and estimate costs for installation of systems, utilization of facilities, or construction of structures.\n    Report maintenance problems occurring at project site to supervisor and negotiate changes to resolve system conflicts.\n    Conduct materials test and analysis, using tools and equipment, and applying engineering knowledge.\n    Respond to public suggestions and complaints.\n    Evaluate facility to determine suitability for occupancy and square footage availability. \n\nKnowledge\n    Mathematics - Knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and their applications.\n    Engineering and Technology - Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology.

I am just wondering how many people would be interested in saving on their phone bill  and cell phone bill by a ton?\nAnd also interested in a new kind of phone that it going on the market that lets you see who your talking to, like the kind on the movies?\n\nNot trying to sell anything I just want to know in general.\n\nThanks!

Well, I think many of them would like to save, not only in phone bills, rather in all the things, except females who can never think about the bills while purchasing cosmetics :p\n\nRegarding that new kind of phone, I know a way, which I think many of you people might know, is VoIP (Voice over IP). With this service, you can talk internationaly with very cheap rates. As for instance, calling America is as cheap as 1cent per minute. By yahoo voice services, you can do that. http://voice.yahoo.com\n\nThanks.

We study what physicist have discovered  before the 80's (or maybe the 70's)...\nWhat do you think about SOLAR SAIL ?

Isaac Newtwon laid down the ground work for modern day physics.  Then Einstein came along and published the most recent great discovery in physics, the theory of relativity.  The problem is, these two contradict each other.  Steven Hawkings and others have since been working with string theory, which would explain these contradictions.

I`m an English  teacher.I don`t have enough experience for teaching.

It totally depends on what the student is doing wrong, doesn't it? The student needs to know what behavior they are doing that is not acceptable.  I would establish some rules.  Once the student knows the rules, if the behavior is repeated, warn the student if he/she does it again, there will be consequences, and let him/her know what those consequences are.  I think this also works with any age groups.  The punishment depends on the age group.  Also, I think a positive way is to tell the student when they are doing well or doing what they are supposed to instead of always telling him/her what they are always doing wrong.  It seems to me whenever I compliment a student, the behavior that is acceptable is repeated because they want to impress you.  Then, the other students will follow through if they are getting compliments.  I hope this helps.


I injured my back at work and have had two one week periods off work because of it.  One of these was enforced by the company.  I am now on physiotherapy for five weeks with the injury and my area manager is telling me to take the five weeks sick.  The company only pay statutory sick pay.  In addition, he is threatening to demote me from assistant manager saying that I am not doing my job.  I am left to do the management tasks of cashing up at the end of the day and closing the shop by myself.  I am also left to run the shop by myself for at least two days a week.  He has also stated that I will be working every weekend from now on because of the injury.  Have I got a case of employment grievance against the company?

Okay, there's no easy answer to this one.  As a Human Resources Director, let me say the following.\n\nIf you are able to perform the duties of the job in full with your current injury, and a doctor is willing to put as much in writing, there is no legal basis for requiring you to take time off.  \n\nA demotion would be out of line legally and ethically.  You are protected under a federal law (Family Medical Leave Act - FMLA).  If YOU feel you need the time off, I'd make sure he knows that you are taking time off under your rights with FMLA.  \n\nI would strongly encourage you to get your employer to put in writing that they are mandating the time off, and that as a result they are considering a demotion.  \n\nThe Department of Labor is there to help with situations like this, so I would call and make an official complaint with them (though you should know your employer will be very unhappy to hear from DOL, and even though they're not supposed to retaliate, they may try to in underhanded ways).  \n\nIn addition to all this, I hope that you are being covered under your employer's worker's compensation insurance.  They should be paying for any lost time the doctor is mandating, if they are.  I'd be happy to give more information if you need it.

If so, and the person you sent it to uses the same system, when you go into your sent mail and try to delete the item, it will ask you if you want to delete it from the recipient's mail box as well as your own.  You can do it that way.\n\nIf you used yahoo or some web-based e-mail, you are out of luck.  Sorry.


What are the most significant differences between Chinese's life in America in 1920s and Chinese's life now?\n\nI need some general ideas on how Chinese's life has changed over the decades.

Their status. Back in the 20's they were hard labourers and look down on because they weren't white.\n\nNow you see them on TV as actors, politicians. They are the intellectuals that do the math and analysis behind the scenes in a lot of big companies. They still work hard, but the majority of them have gone from blue collar to white. \n\nEducation is paramount in their lives whereas in the 20's it was really about escaping poverty in China and just working to get somewhere in life.

I'd like to see a picture of what genital warts look like on a man and on a woman.

The pictures that you usually see on the internet are of extreme cases.  Most often genital warts (HPV) look like the head of a pin (and they are about the same size.)  They tend to be very small and smooth.\n\nIf someone has something going on with their immune system, like HIV, or other diseases or conditions, the warts may become large.\n\nOnly a doctor can tell if you have genital warts.  It's very common to have small bumps or pimples in the genital area & people may mistakenly think they have HPV.\n\nWomen diagnosed with HPV need to find out if the have the high-risk or low-risk variety.  High risk HPV can cause cervical cancer.  High-risk tends not to develop warts, whereas low-risk tends to produce warts.\n\nIf you really want to see pictures of extreme cases, go to Yahoo's home page, type in genital warts and click on the "images" button, then hit search.  Some pics should show up.
