First, Corrections:\nTerm, Whole, Variable, Universal, etc. are all forms of life, not health insurance.  \n\nSecond, Assumptions: \nSeveral assumptions are being made in my answer. \n1.You are looking for Health, not Life insurance.\n2.You are not eligible for insurance through your employer, therefore you have to get your own.\n3.You are a citizen of the United States.\n4.You are buying health insurance as an individual, in other words, you don't run your own business that can deduct the cost of insurance.\n5.You are under the age of 55.\n\nThird,  Know the true purpose of insurance:\nThis is important from a philosophical, as well as a practical standpoint. In all its forms, insurance is intended to “cushion” the individual from excessive financial burdens in the event of UNEXPECTED costs. While I abhor “capitalized screaming” the term unexpected is important! Most people believe that insurance implies a reimbursement. In the old days they called this a tontine. But this is not the purpose of health insurance. Health insurance was originally meant to keep you from going broke when some fool t-bone's you at an intersection, or you contract pancreatic cancer. That said and understood I can make a suggestion that can keep costs down, save on income taxes (if you itemize) and give you health coverage for regular health care needs as well as prevent catastrophic financial loss due to a serious health event.\n\nFourth, The Suggestion:\nLike him or hate him, George Bush got through Congress a great thing called “The Health Savings Account” or “HSA” for short. Basically it has two parts.  \n\nFirst, a savings account where you can save up to ~$2700 (single) or $5,450 (family), or your health plans deductible, per year, which ever is less.\n\nSecond, a high deductible health insurance plan that acts just like a regular Preferred Provider health plan or PPO for short. You pick a doctor from the company's list of MD's basically. This insurance plan will usually have a co-pay (some don't) and will protect you case some fool t-bone's you at an intersection, or you contract pancreatic cancer.\n\nBTW, I don't have any “skin in this game." Just went through it recently.  If this is all too confusing, get an independent insurance agent to help you, they should bend over backward to help. They make commissions when they sell these products.\n\nI wish you good health.

Be gracious, and of course, it is always respectful to respond with "Yes/No Ma'am/Sir." Above all, be sure not to forget or ignore your husband in trying to tend to them, that wouldn't be very good. Be yourself, even if you are nervous, maintain eye contact when you are talking with them. Smile often, and be sure to thank them for bringing such a wonderful person into the world and rearing him as well as they did. If you think it is appropriate, you could say something like, "I have been so excited yet sort of nervous about meeting you both, even though (husband's name) told me there was no need to be nervous." I think you'll have to make that call on what the atmosphere is like. They already know at this point in life that you will be feeling somewhat nervous, at least it shows you are up-front and honest. You all already have something in common, you all love your husband...But anyway, be yourself, treat them as you would anyone else you appreciate and respect, they did raise your husband, after all:)\n\nI'm sorry--I missed the extra details that you added at the bottom. Well, the above all still applies; the fact that so much time has passed will naturally feel a little weird for everyone involved at first anyway, but "better late than never." I believe that it is a person's heart and character that matter, not race. Hold your head up high and maintain grace of character, regardless of if they have issues or whatever:)

If you are giving someone a tie as a gift, how do you wrap it or do you just put it in a gift bag?

There are actual tie boxes that you can purchase to put the tie in or if you can't find one try looking for a thing narrow rectangular box that would fit the tie.  Fold the tie in half (I know some people will also fold it in thirds) so tha thte tie looks like it is being worn, put some tissue paper on top to hold it in place, put the lid on and then wrap it up.  Easy as that.

How do i get a fooball(soccer) trial in the united kingdom or any where in Europe at the age of 20?

If you have been playing football for teams, such as your school team and local kids clubs, and haven't been approached by a club by the time you are 20 then the chances are that you are simply not good enough to play professional football.\n\nOf course, there are always examples of players who somehow escaped the "scouting net", in which case you could put together a "CV" detailing your achievements (some agents use videos, particularly when trying to sell a foreign player to a team) and send it to clubs directly. I wouldn't hold out much hope of a positive response though.\n\nProbably the best thing you can do is to join an amateur team at the highest level you can, enjoy playing, and keep hoping that you will be spotted by a visiting scout.

what would be physical signs of dehydration in a women?

Symptoms may include headaches similar to what is experienced as a hangover, a sudden episode of visual snow, decreased blood pressure (hypotension), and dizziness or fainting when standing up due to orthostatic hypotension. Untreated dehydration generally results in delirium, unconsciousness, and death.\n\nDehydration symptoms generally become noticeable after 2% of one's normal water volume has been lost. Initially, one experiences thirst and discomfort, possibly along with loss of appetite and dry skin. Athletes may suffer a loss of performance of up to 50%, and experience flushing, low endurance, rapid heart rates, elevated body temperatures, and rapid onset of fatigue.\n\nThe symptoms become increasingly severe with greater water loss. One's heart and respiration rates will increase to compensate for decreased plasma volume and blood pressure, while body temperature may rise due to decreased sweating. Around 5% to 6% water loss, one may become groggy or sleepy, experience headaches or nausea, and may feel tingling in one's limbs (paresthesia). With 10% to 15% fluid loss, muscles may become spastic, skin may shrivel and wrinkle, vision may dim, urination will be greatly reduced and may become painful, and delirium may begin. Losses of greater than 15% are usually fatal

what does "illegitimate non carborundum" mean?

"Illegitimis non carborundum"\n\n(Phrase Origins)\n\n\n\n   Yes, this means "Don't let the bastards grind you down", but it\nis not real Latin; it is a pseudo-Latin joke.\n\n   "Carborundum" is a trademark for a very hard substance composed\nof silicon carbide, used in grinding.  (The name "Carborundum" is a\nblend of "carbon" and "corundum".  "Corundum" denotes aluminium\noxide, and comes to English from Tamil _kuruntam_; it is related to\nSanskrit _kuruvinda_ = "ruby".)  "The "-ndum" ending suggests the\nLatin gerundive, which is used to express desirability of the\nactivity denoted by the verb, as in _Nil desperandum_ = "nothing to\nbe despaired of"; _addendum_ = "(thing) fit to be added";\n_corrigendum_ = "(thing) fit to be corrected"; and the name Amanda,\nfrom _amanda_ = "fit to be loved").\n\n   _Illegitimis_ is the dative plural of _illegitimus_ =\n"illegitimate"; the gerundive in Latin correctly takes the dative to\ndenote the agent.  _Illegitimus_ could conceivably mean "bastard" in\nLatin, but was not the usual word for it:  _Follett World-Wide Latin\nDictionary_ (Follett, 1967) gives _nothus homo_ for bastard of known\nfather, and _spurius_ for bastard of unknown father.\n\n   The phrase seems to have originated with British army\nintelligence early in World War II.  It was popularized when U.S.\ngeneral Joseph W. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (1883-1946) adopted it as\nhis motto.  Various variant forms are in circulation.\n\n\nSource: [Mark Israel, 'Phrase Origins: "Illegitimis non carborundum"', The alt.usage.english FAQ file,(line 4970), (29 Sept 1997)]

How does free function work in C language?

How it works exactly is compiler dependent. It may also depend on whether or not you are building with debugging information turned on.\n\nfree is going to release memory that you've allocated and return it to the heap for reallocation. Generally, the memory manager as a linked list of blocks of memory that it has allocated. It is going to search the list for your block of memory, remove the link from the allocated list and insert it in the list of free blocks of memory. It may also attempt to merge you block with adjacent blocks of free memory to maximize the size of available blocks.\n\nIf you are running Microsoft C++, the debug memory manager will check a couple of bytes that are added to the front and back of the block to be sure that you haven't overflowed when you used it. It will also write a specific byte pattern to the block so that it is easily recognized as deallocated if you use a pointer to it after it has been released.

i have a chevy s10 blazer and i can not get it to start?

more info please. have you made sure you are getting gas to the carb? all the fire in the world cant run an engine with a bad fuel pump or clogged filter. are you getting spark? pull a plug wire and sick a screw driver in it. place the screw driver near the manifold(less than half an inch from it) and turn the engine over. if no spark jumps from screw driver to exhaust manifold you still have a spark issue. if you are getting fire then it should be a fuel issue. if you have both fuel and fire and it turns over but doesnt catch then it gets interesting. also if it turns over but jerks hard you may have the timing out so far it can't catch. eliminate possibilities one at a time and eventually you will eliminate the problem.

where  can I get cheap linens for september wedding?

Try calling your local dry cleaners--they usually have things you can rent. Also, try party suppliers and see what their prices are. If you want to buy instead of rent, I'd suggest going to outlet stores and seeing what you can find. Another good place is also Ebay.  I'd be against buying items only for the fact is you will have so many linens you will probably never use them all ever again--however, sometimes the cost of buying is cheaper than renting, and you don't have to worry about returning them.

what is a good clear site for illinois dating laws?

And even if you engage in no sexual conduct whatsoever, your boyfriend may be charged with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, Custodial Interference, Kidnaapping and more.\n\nBasically, the law is written around a very simple concept:  18 year-olds and 14 year-olds have very little in common.  14 year-olds are still figuring out who they are.  They can't drive or work or do much of anything except go to school.  18 year-olds already know who they are.  They're not in school.  They have jobs and cars.  Why would an 18 year-old want to spend time with a girl who's 14?  Why isn't he capable of dating a girl who's his own age and who has had the same experiences as he has?\n\nThe answer is that any 18 year-old who wants to spend time with someone 4 years younger, is not well adjusted socially.  He shouldn't be around children.  And children like you shouldn't be around him.  Find a better boyfriend, one who has more in common with you.

when and how do I file a missing person report?

if the person is over 18 (or the legal age in your area) and it has been more than 24 hours, a family member (usually it has to be a family member) can file a missing persons report by calling the main line for the local police station and saying that you need to file a missing person report. rules for this vary by area, but if you call the police station, im sure they'd be more than happy to help.\n\nit is a different ballgame is the person who is missing is under the adult age or a child. then, you dont have to wait 24 hours to make a report.

How do I explain my checkered background check to potential employers?

The trick is turning negatives into positives.  Take ownership of what you have done in the past by acknowledging it during your interview.  (Don't go into details, per say, only as necessary.)  And tell the potential employer that you have learned from those experiences and you are moving in the right direction to be a responsible, valuable contributor to an organization that is willing to give you a chance.  Never falsify your information.  An application is a legal document.

If something goes wrong with the procedure your parents will have to know.  Are you sure that you want an abortion?

Maybe your parents would want to help you raise your baby.

The word genocide means The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group. Did Turks did it, No. Did Armenians die, Yes. But how and why? Many armenians died that is true; but it was just after they were done killing, raping and torturing Turkish and Kurdish people with the power they took from the Russians who invaded North east part of Ottoman Empire. After Russians were kicked out, the armenians who betrayed their own country were forced to live by government, but the other peoples who were murdered raped and tortured wanted their revenge and unleashed their wrath upon the leaving armenians; so it was not the government who did it, if anything they tried to protect the armenians. It was the other comman peoples who were also citizen of Ottoman Empire. so it is not genocide it is a civil war and armenians started it. There are still mass graveyards being found in the eastern Turkey that are done by renegade armenians of the time. In Turkey, people do SPEAK and ACCEPT that armenians died but it was not done by the government and also the regular people know that armenians asked for it. And if you look for the explanations of actual "HISTORIANS" they also accept that fact not the ones accepted by lobbied "politicians" of the world.

My boyfriend told me he dont trust me why do you think he think this way because i never gave his no reason to

my daughter is about to start her first period-does anyone have any ideas on free products offered?


This is a false dichotomy; you're presenting two options as if they couldn't both be true, or both be false, as if some third option could not exist.\n\nAbortion is definitely homocide. You're killing a human being.\n\nBut it does need to be legal, for the same reason Thomas Jefferson knew he couldn't ban slavery when he was president. \n\nToo many people depend upon it, and think that it's acceptable...banning it would probably cause MORE abortions, as doctors would start doing them secretly for their patients. Even more certainly, it would be yet another reason for expanding the police state, as it would be even more impossible to prevent than drug use and terrorist attacks.\n\nSomeday, as with slavery, we will have the technology and social responsibility to end abortion. \n\nWith slavery it was industrialization which allowed the kind of moral evolution necessary to be convenient, in this case it'll be the discovery of more foolproof contraception and some viable alternative, like being able to raise "unwanted" babies in artificial wombs.\n\nPeople are too irresponsible to just give up something, no matter how evil it is, when they've grown to depend on it as a society. Something has to come along and make it easy.


You can marry the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with, while they can't. Laws against same-sex marriage impose an arbitrary, and essentially religious view of marriage on people who do not believe in it, for no reason other than to maintain the status quo. It is ridiculous to say that you have the same rights because you can't marry someone of the same sex either; you obviously don't want to.


To USA business people. : They  said  these despite I worked for them only a few times.  Do they mean it?

If they initiated the suggestion then they are most likely impressed with your work.  I would suggest that you talk to the last person who mentioned the opportunity or to this person you are visiting soon, and politely tell them that you would like to consider an opportunity to work in the US but would like to understand what role/position you would be in, and how the relocation would work.  If they are serious you should hear some positive feedback shortly (within a month depending on the size of the company - the larger the company the more time this may take, politly follow-up as needed).  Once you find out if this is a real opportunity then you need to find out more on the relocation specifics.  That is, how much money are they willing to move you (and your family if applicable).  Also, since you are not a US citizen you will need to get a work visa (which your company should take care of for you).  Hope that helps...good luck!

Can anyone suggest any good strength training routines I can do at home without weights or machines?

you can do a variety of exercises with little-to-no equipment. bodyweight exercises such as push-ups are great. If you invest a little bit of $$$ you can get a used barbell and some free weights & make a complete routine from scratch. Use a heavy object (depending on your strength level now, something possibly as light as a dictionary) for lying pullovers; use heavy handheld objects (i.e. a soup can) for overhead tricep extensions. Do farmers walks with buckets full of water or sand; do lunges the same way. Hook your ankles under the edge of your sofa and do reverse hamstring curls. If you can go to a park you can really get a good free workout: chins and dips on the monkey bars, step-ups on a park bench, etc.

Any military that were in New Orleans during Katrina able to help me out here?

well, bush did say that he was prepared for katrina.  and i think homeland security or somebody like that knew the levee were gonna break.  bush took a gamble i suppose.  i bet that he must have thought that the storm wouldn't have ravaged New Orleans like that.  i mean, plenty of storms have hit the US but not this severe.

Has anyone ever been harassed by a loan company at work and if so what did you do.?

You have the right to instruct them not to contact you by phone. As I have written before, the less scrupulous collectors will either not heed your request or worse "transfer or assign" your case to another department in their own company or to another company in league with them so they are honoring your request by playing the shell game. Check the link for your rights under the law.

I asked a question once that got me read off every way to sunday.Should I ask again?

I think the fact that you were scolded in the first place is an example of the underlying problem western society faces.  We all believe in freedom of speech, to the point that ignorant, irrational and illogical cartoons about a sacred religious leader are allowed, albeit with some disdain, under the ideals of freedom of speech.  Yet so many great questions, like yours, based on logic, are completely written off as taboo.  I too like to discuss the "unmentionable" issues that are in fact key to our society's progression.  A huge example is the "unpatriotic" label alot of Americans got back in '03.

Sorry, I don't think this is a Special Education related question. Special Education refers to the provision of services to kids with disabilities.\n\nYou might consider resolving this question. So, people don't respond. If you pick my answer, people will not needlessly answer and it will provide information to people about what types of questions are appropriate for this category. That would be helpful.\n\nThen, re-asking your question under a different, more appropriate category. You might get more and better responses. I know it is sometimes difficult to find an appropriate category.\n\nGood luck with your question. I hope this helps.


what percentage of patients recover after being on a ventilator?

i am a respiratory therapist, and a very large number of patients placed on a ventilator recover just fine, i know it looks horrible to see your family member at the other end of that tube/ventilator, but once you get over the shock of seeing them and it is explained to you what is going on(educating the family members will relieve alot of the stress)it gets alittle easier to handle each day, still stressful, but not as bad as when the family didn't have a clue about the whole process, and alot of patients are so medicated, they don't remember the experience, all they know is that their throat hurts when it is all said and done

can you score points against your own team in Rugby union?

Yes, it is possible!\n\nA defending player could deflect a wayward drop-goal attempt by an opponent.  If the ball then went over the bar and between the posts, it would count.\n\nHowever, there is no rugby equivalent of a "safety" in American Football, where a player tackled in his own end zone concedes two points.

does a changein direction affect velocity?

Yes - velocity is what is called a "Vector" - vectors have two parts, the size, and the direction.\n\nIf I travel at 60 mph north, and then travel at 60 mph west - the two vecrods are different because the directions are different.\n\nThe speed part of each of the vectors is the same (60 mph), since speed doesn't have a direction, only a size.\n\nSpeed answers one question - "how fast?"\n\nVelocity answers two questions - "how fast" and "in what direction?"

how to get revenge without going to jail?

Do something completely and utterly ABSURD, and well, okay, NON-VIOLENT.  \nI once considered buying a bunch of frozen chicken feet, painting them different colors like they were some voodoo thing or something, and then throwing them all over my ex-husband's (and previously my) lawn.  The worst they would have gotten me for was vandalism, if he could have proven it was me.  Better yet, he would have made a fool out of himself telling everyone that i had cursed him.  (The only reason that I didn't was because when I left him, I only took what I had come in with and it wouldn't cover the cost of the feet.)\nAs I said, "COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ABSURD!!!!"  It's TOTALLY UNEXPECTED and more fun, too.\nMaybe you could have a friend help you bake some delicious bread that spells out something like, "you stink!"  Then have it delivered nicely wrapped with a card reading simply, "From Me."

if a motorcycle travels 40 miles at x miles per hour and 50 miles at x+10 mph what's the average speed?

Every answer I've seen to this question so far has been dead wrong (or at least mostly wrong).\n\nTo compute average speed in any word problem, figure out the total distance traveled, total time traveled, and then divide. average speed = (total distance)/(total time)\n\nTotal distance traveled here is clearly 40+50 = 90 miles.\n\nTotal time traveled is a bit trickier, so we'll look at this one leg at a time. For the first leg of the journey, we went 40 miles at x mph. Time elapsed is the distance traveled divided by the rate of speed, or 40/x. Does this check out? Let x be a nice easy number like 20 mph and check it for yourself.\n\nThen the time for the second leg will be 50/(x+10), and total time is 40/x + 50/(x+10).\n\nNow we've got total distance and total time, so we just divide to get the final answer:\naverage speed = 90/(40/x + 50/(x+10))\n\nWe can pick a value for x to see if this makes sense. Let x = 40. Then on the first leg we traveled 40 miles at 40 miles an hour (so clearly 1 hour) and on the second leg we traveled 50 miles at 40+10= 50 miles per hour (so another hour). Total time is therefore 2 hours for this case, and average speed is 45 miles per hour. We get the same answer by plugging x = 40 into the final answer, so it checks out at least for this case.\n\nNote that the correct answer will only be 45 mph if x = 40. Any other value of x will produce a different result, and we don't have any information given to us that will give us x, so the best we can do is test different values of x just to make sure our answers make some sort of sense.\n\nAlso note that the obvious answer that you get by averaging x and x + 10 to give you x + 5 is wrong in general (it turns out to be correct if x = 40, but we don't really know if this is the case). We can't just average speeds together unless we know that an equal amout of time was spent traveling at each of these speeds, and we don't. This is a very popular standardized test trap that most people will fall for.

I was a Psychology major and was AWFUL at math.  But I passed regular statistics w/ a B.

I hope you have better luck than I did.


Here is a trivia question my son's coached asked about baseball, I need help the ball was hit out to left...

If I remember correctly from my umpiring days, if a defensive player throws any part of his equipment at a batted ball and it makes contact, the batter and runners are awarded 3 bases, (It's the only 3 base award, and the most  severe) but the ball is still alive, and the batter can try to take home on his own if he/she wishes.  It doesn't matter on the park or the league, it is not an individual ground rule.\n\nFrom the baseball rule book:\n\n7.05\nEach runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance...(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril;  c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.


why do other people have bellybuttons that are hanging out and some have the ones that are tucked in?

There isn't anything the doctor or nurse can do to determine whether a baby ends up with an innie or an outie belly button. The umbilical cord is clamped or tied a few inches from the belly button, and the stump falls off on its own. The shape of the belly button a person ends up with is determined by how the umbilical cord was attached, not where it was cut.


Why is it that after you interview for a job, you never hear from a company again?!?

Also, you may be surprised to learn, most managers are not very good at confrontation, even passivly.  Watch carefully as you interact in the business world.  A smart manager hires a "watchdog".  A secretary or assistant who fields all calls and deflects the majority of the problems and less pleasent tasks from the manager.  \n\nWhoever did the interview didn't want to say, "If you don't hear from us in a couple weeks, that means you didn't get the job." which is what he really means when he says "You'll hear from us either way."\n\nAfter the interview process is over, and they've selected someone, the training begins, and any thought to empty promises made to people they will probably never see again goes out the window.  Sad, huh?\n\nI agree with someone above who said that etiquette in the business world is gone!

Are you taking any action toward being part of the solution to current and future problems facing the earth?

I try, i recycle and try very hard not to waste water, but i always feel so guilty everytime i put another plastic milk bottle in the bin or a juice carton etc... it is scary to think how much packaging is used and thrown into the bin. I think we should be writing to retailers and asking them to reduce their packaging. I purchase products for the product inside, not the wrapping. I think in the future people may end up living like humans used to in the past with out electricity and cars. We should all do our bit, and get on the case of the people who make the decisions.  Great, thought provoking question.


Lets examin the first output case you have, f.fact(3):\nThe first layer of this function call will have result = fact(3-1)*n.  This will of course call another layer of the fact function with result = fact(2-1)*n, and this will then call fact on 1. \n\nSince the base case for the recusion is 1, 1 will be returned.  And the function call will return values in reverse order.  So result = fact(2-1)*n will no be result = 1*2.  Which will then be returned to the function that called it, result =fact(3-1)*n is now result = 2*3. and that value is finally returned.\n\nThe key to understanding recursion is knowing what the basecase is.  If you can find the base case then evaluating the recursion is simply.  Just follow the function all the way through until you hit that base case, then work your back out example... 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4  then to get out we'd go 3 -> 2 -> 1.\n\nHopefully this helps.

Where did the phrase "You are such a ham." come from?

"HAM. Actors prefer to think that the word derives from the old theatrical use of ham fat to remove blackface makeup - actors were thus called hamfatters, or hams. Many scholars lean to this theory, but 'ham' in the sense of an amateur actor or a 10th rate actor who outrageously overplays his scenes has enough folk etymologies to make a one-act play. Since none really seems capable of absolute proof, I'll simply list three: 1) Ham derives from the Cockney slang 'hamateur,' for 'amateur actor.' (Unlikely, as the term 'ham' in this sense is American from about 1880.) 2) The word structure of 'amateur' itself suggested 'ham.' (A good possibility, but why did it wait so long to suggest itself?) 3) It comes from the role of 'Hamlet,' which actors frequently misperformed. (Another good possibility, but, if so, 'ham' should have been with us since Shakespeare's time.) 'Ham' for one of the rear quarters of a hog, or its meat, derives from Old English 'hamm' for the bend of the knee."

The term meteor comes from the Greek meteoron, meaning phenomenon in the sky. It is used to describe the streak of light produced as matter in the solar system falls into Earth's atmosphere creating temporary incandescence resulting from atmospheric friction. This typically occurs at heights of 80 to 110 kilometers (50 to 68 miles) above Earth's surface. The term is also used loosely with the word meteroid referring to the particle itself without relation to the phenomena it produces when entering the Earth's atmosphere. A meteoroid is matter revolving around the sun or any object in interplanetary space that is too small to be called an asteroid or a comet. Even smaller particles are called micrometeoroids or cosmic dust grains, which includes any interstellar material that should happen to enter our solar system. A meteorite is a meteoroid that reaches the surface of the Earth without being completely vaporized.

Are the people in Aviation and Hospitality not respected? Does this career promise a bright future?

Speaking of aviation, I think most people respect us.  As to those who might not, we really don't much care.  We are who we are, and for 46 years piloting has served me well.  The service we provide is in high demand by those who wish to travel quickly.  If they didn't respect us, I doubt they'd put their lives in our hands.  One man's opinion.


How do u get information about other religions?

It is important to look at a variety of sources.  If you are wanting to study Hinduism, for example, it is very important that you not rely on just one book or website, because misinformation abounds about Hinduism (because a lot of the information is old and based on old colonial biases).  What is ideal is if you can read books by an adherent of the religion, AND by those who are NOT adherents of the religion.  This will help you get a balanced view.  There are some things about a religion that non-believers can not ever totally grasp, and that is why an insider's view is so valuable.  On the other hand, there are some things that an insider may not be willing to admit or not able to accept about his or her own religion.  So reading from both adherents and non-adherents might give you an idea of such issues.\n\nIf you can go to a place of worship, that is wonderful.  There is usually someone you can find there that will be happy to answer any questions you have about their religion.  Some religions of course see this as an opportunity to try to convert you.  But others will respect that you are just trying to learn, and do not generally seek converts, although they may welcome them.\n\nJust seeing the atmosphere in a place of worship can tell you a lot.  But of course, you must remember that one church/mosque/temple/synagogue/gurudwara, etc does not necessarily represent them all.\n\nI have been to 4 or 5 synagogues, and every one of them was unique and left different impressions on me.\n\nReading primary sources is extremely important.  By primary sources, I mean things like Holy Scriptures, prayer books, etc.  Usually a look at a Scripture will give you a pretty good idea, but not always.  There are a few cases where reading a holy Scripture of a religion may actually give you the WRONG idea about a religion.  Just as an example, if you are wanting to know about Christianity, you may naturally think a good place to start would be the Bible.  But the first things you read in the Bible actually have very little to do with Christianity, because they are about the Laws of Israel, the Temple of Jerusalem, etc.\n\nAnother example may be the Rig Veda.  This is often said to be the holiest Scripture of Hinduism, but reading it will tell you very little about most modern-day Hindus.  Most of the gods of the Rig Veda are not the most important Gods worshiped by Hindus today.  You could probably get a better idea of Hinduism by reading the Bhagavad Gita, which is actually not usually listed as one of the primary sacred texts.\n\nA great book about World Religions is by Huston Smith's "The World Religions."  It is a delight to read, and it really gets to the heart and soul of each religion that it deals with.

I support our troops all the time! I have never forgotten about them for one second! I had 5 uncles who served in WWII, 2 of which served in the Korean conflict, then later on, I had 2 uncles who served in the Viet Nam war. BTW, the people who served in Viet Nam were spat upon and degraded so badly that I felt ashamed of how our country treated them when they came home! Anyway, I won't get hostile, but I am very proud of our men and women who are serving in all divisions of our military. I do DJ/KJ shows quite often in an American Legion Post, and there is never a night that we don't all hold hands and sing "God Bless the USA." Yes, I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND AM TRUELY GRATEFUL TO OUR TROOPS...PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!

Do headache tablets actually cure or just suppress the pain?

they just block the receptors that are recieving the action potential that we interprate as pain.  So suppression i suppose because if it cures pain you could eat paracetamol break a leg and not realise.\n\npain is a good thing...tells you to leave the darn thing along its trying to heal itself!  unless you have a headache and its probably twelling you its dehydrated and you need to drink more water

what format do i need to burn a movie from my computer to play on my home dvd player in dvd quality.?

Well you can choose from many formats. \n\nIt all depend on the capability of your  home dvd player.\n\nHere are some known formats.\n\n1-VCD or Video disk. Some players are able to play this format, A lot of older DVD players can play this type of media. They are burned onto standard CDR media. They have about the same quality as a standard VHS player and only hold about 74 minutes of Video/audio.\n\n2-DIVX format. This is a sort of MPEG4 format. It has high quality and greater compreesion ratios then than standard DVD formats. This format requires that your DVD player be DIVX certified. Meaning that it can play DIVX disk. Check to see that your player is DIVX certified first. If not then you will have to buy one.\n\n3-The most common format is the VOB file format. This is the standard format use in todays dvd players, It is MPEG2 and require A DVD burner to make a DVD disk. DVD disk are single layer 4.7 gigs and Dual Layer of about 8.5 gigs\n\nAlso if you are burning a movie from your Camcorder/digital camers, then that is another ball game. Each device has its own way to record movies. I know of a digital camera that encodes using Apple Quick time file format. \n\nBasically you are going to have to convert your movies to what ever format that your DVD player can play.(IF they are not allready using standard VOB files)\n\nlook at the last chart from the second link. This may help you decide.

How to unstop ears with fluid due to allergies?

Claritin or it's generic (loratadine) is available OTC and does not have a decongestant ingredient, which is probably the "stimulant" you are referring to that makes you jittery. It will stop the fluid production and help. Nasalcrom spray also helps and does not cause any side effects like nervousness.\nTaking a teaspoonful of local honey, produced locally so it has the same pollens you are reacting to might help.


Does anyone have a mother who is bipolar?

Even when genetic, there is no sure proof that you or your siblings will get it as well, there is a certain level of self awareness that bipolar victims don't have, as long as you remain emotionally balanced and maintain high self confidence, I don't see how much of a possibility it would be for you to get it as well.

how much did they pay Christian Bale for his role in the Machinist where he lost 60+ pounds?

The budget for 'The Machinist' was an estimated 5 million dollars.  So my guess is not much.  \n\nHere is an interesting and speculative sidenote. I dont know how much Christian Bale got for being Batman because he was relativly an unknown when cast.  Tobey Maguire was cast as Spiderman and was somewhat unknown, and Tobey recieved about 5 million for the part. If this is the case with Bale, it is possible Bale may have made more money for the role of Batman than 'The Machinist' had for an entire budget.

i'm not sure exactly what this means.. usually you want to graph the distribution of some characteristic.  for instance, say you have a group of 1000 people, and you want to show how their heights are distributed.\n\noften the best way to do this is to use a histogram, which shows how many people are a particular height.  often (in the case of height, intelligence, etc) this leads to a bell-shaped distribution.\n\nhere is some more information about histograms:\nhttp://deming.eng.clemson.edu/pub/tutorials/qctools/histm.htm\nhttp://www.anu.edu.au/nceph/surfstat/surfstat-home/1-1-3.html\n\ncheers!

What is a good example of a Blank Verse Poem?

Shakespeare is the most notable practitioner of blank verse as a dramatic form, and his plays are, in fact, written predominantly, though not entirely, in blank verse. Even in the twentieth century T. S. Eliot and Maxwell Anderson used blank verse as a vehicle for staged drama, though by that time their efforts were self-consciously anachronistic. \n\n\nBlank verse has also been a favored form for reflective and narrative poems. The stately, majestic cadences of John Milton’s religious epic “Paradise Lost” demonstrate the extraordinary incantatory power of that pattern maintained over long stretches of poetry. Take, for example, the single long sentence that constitutes the first sixteen lines of the “Invocation” to Book I of “Paradise Lost”: \n\n\nOf man’s first disobedience, and the fruit \n\nOf that forbidden tree whose mortal taste \n\nBrought death into the world, and all our woe, \n\nWith loss of Eden, till one greater Man \n\nRestore us and regain the blissful seat, \n\nSing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top \n\nOf Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire \n\nThat shepherd who first taught the chosen seed \n\nIn the beginning how the Heavens and Earth \n\nRose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill \n\nDelight thee more, and Siloa’s brook that flowed \n\nFast by the oracle of God, I thence \n\nInvoke thy aid to my adventurous song, \n\nThat with no middle flight intends to soar \n\nAbove th’ Aonian mount, while it pursues \n\nThings unattempted yet in prose or rhyme. \n\n\nMilton himself likened blank verse to the unrhymed verse of “Homer in Greek, and of Virgil in Latin” and called it “English heroic verse without rhyme.” He considered rhyme “no necessary adjunct or true ornament of poem or good verse, in longer works especially, but the invention of a barbarous age, to set off wretched matter and lame meter. . . .” Milton defended his choice of blank verse for his epic as no defect, “though it may seem so perhaps to vulgar readers,” but rather an “[esteemed] example set, the first in English, of an ancient liberty recovered to heroic poem from the troublesome modern bondage of rhyming” (John Milton, “The Verse,” preface to “Paradise Lost).


king arthur, from the north or from scotland?

The possible historicity of the Arthur of legend has long been debated by scholars. One school of thought believes Arthur to have lived sometime in the late 5th century to early 6th century, to have been of Romano-British origin, and to have fought against the pagan Saxons. His power base was probably in either Wales, Cornwall, or the west of what would become England. However, controversy over the centre of his power and the extent and kind of power he wielded continues to this day.\n\nSome members of this school, most notably Geoffrey Ashe and Leon Fleuriot, have argued for identifying Arthur with a certain Riothamus, "King of the Brettones," who was active during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Anthemius. Unfortunately, Riothamus is a shadowy figure of whom we know little, and scholars are not certain whether the "Brettones" he led were Britons or Bretons.\n\nOther members of this school have argued for identifying Arthur with Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Romano-British war leader who won important battles against the Anglo-Saxons probably including the Battle of Mons Badonicus.\n\nOther writers suggest that King Arthur should be identified as one Lucius Artorius Castus, a Roman dux of the 2nd century, whose military exploits in Britain may have been remembered for centuries afterwards. This is linked to a theory by C. Scott Littleton and Linda Malcor suggesting a Sarmatian Arthur, which was the basis of the film King Arthur. The obscurity surrounding Artorius makes this identification unlikely, as there seems to be little reason for him to have become a major legendary figure. This figure also seems to be early, given early mentions of Arthur fighting the Saxons.\n\nGraham Phillips and Martin Keatman argued in "King Arthur The True Story" that Arthur's name might not be derived from a Latin original such as Artorius, as normally suspected, but could have been a nom de guerre used by the leader who fought against the Saxons. The first component would be "arth" meaning bear, and the second component a repetition in Latin, "ursus", making the original name "Arthursus". To support this argument they refer to mentions by Gildas of "the Bear". They felt that he would must have been one of the Votadini of Gwynedd. They feel Arthur may have been Owain Ddantgwyn, King of Rhôs.\n\nJohn Darrah and Arthur Cummins propose an Early Bronze Age Arthur, circa 2300 BC. They argue that pulling a sword from a stone and an anvil is a metaphor for making a sword from ore and hammering it into shape on an anvil. Many would agree that at least some elements in the Arthurian story are older than the times in which he is felt to have been alive.\n\nAnother theory proposes that the real Arthur was Artur Mac Aidan, a war leader of the Scots and Britons. By this theory, Artur was predominantly active in the region between the Roman walls—the Gododdin. Artur was never "king" per se, but rather the son of the Scottish king Aidan Mac Gabran, who ruled from about 574 AD. As claims this website ([1]), Artur led a loose coalition of the Christian Celts against their pagan invaders—effectively holding them off for about one hundred more years. However, his generation also included other people named Artur or some variant of the name, suggesting that it was first popularized by another—namely, our Arthur. In modern times, Mac Aidan's name is spelled Artuir.\n\nThe late historian John Morris made the alleged reign of Arthur at the turn of the 5th century the organising principle of his history of sub-Roman Britain and Ireland under the rubric The Age of Arthur: A History of the British Isles from 350–650' (1974), even though he found little to say of a historic Arthur, save as an example of the idea of kingship, one among such contemporaries as Vortigen and Cunedda, Hengest and Coel.\n\nAnother school of thought believes that Arthur had no historical existence, expl

What are the duties of a Board of Directors for a Non-Profit Organization?

I work for a non profit and we have a 9 member BOD. They are responsible, ultimatley, for the management, financial and other conditions of the non profit. They review all monthly, quarterly and yearly financial info, check managment to insure no decisions are made outside the realm of responsibility, maintain the integrity of the non profit, sort of "police" the actions of the employees, and our BOD is a final resting place for any problems or disputes that management cannot handle to the satisfaction of our members. Our BOD is involved in guiding investment decisions, building locations, and the general movement of the organization. They are not figureheads, but real workers. All are unpaid volunteers who love the organization and want to see it succeed. They are not yes men (and women) who blindly give a stamp of approval to management, but do support management greatly. A good BOD is very important to your success, in my opinion.

can anyone give me a good list of things to ask to girls on the phone or how i can get a girl to fall for me?

Man, listen: you can't make a girl fall for you.  The only reason a girl would fall for you is because you are being yourself.  Almost everyone I know have a dislike for people who try to act like someone they aren't.  If girls don't like you for who you are, perhaps you should take a serious look at what 'who you are' actually is.  If you just genuinely care about people and show respect for them, than that goes a lot more than anything specifically you can say on the phone or at anytime.

differentiation or integration in calculus -- pl explain basics?

Differentiation of a function mapping R into R considers the limiting case of a secant to the curve to get the unique tangent line to the curve at each point. Ie., if we have a graph y=f(x), then the slope of a secant line between two points (x,f(x)) and (x+h, f(x+h)) on the curve is [f(x+h) - f(x)]/[x+h - x] = [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h. The tangent line to the curve at the point (x, f(x)) is hypothesized to have the slope given by the limit of the secant's slope as we rotate the secant so that the second intersection point moves closer to (x,f(x)). Algebraically, we want to study the limit of the above quotient as h approaches 0. The usefulness of the tangent at each point is that such a line gives a linear approximation to whatever f(x) stands for at each point. The tangent line also tells you when there is a maximum or minimum, as the line will be horizontal there (for certain well-behaved curves).\nThe first half of your study of calculus will involve justifying this concept and making concrete and mathematically precise what we mean when we say we are going to take the limit of an expression.\nThe second half of your calculus course will concetrate on integration, which studies the problem of calculating the area of arbitrarily shaped regions (instead of just the simple geometrical shapes you've studied before). Given an arbitrary curve y=f(x) or a bunch of curves enclosing a region, you will be able to calculate the area contained in the region. The motivation for the integral also involves limiting behavior. In the case of the Riemann integral, the hypothesis is that you can cover the area between a curve and the x-axis by a finite amount of rectangles, each with a finite area, and as the width of the rectangles get smaller, the difference between their total area and the true area under the curve goes to 0. The rigorous proof of this concept will be given by your textbook or teacher.\nYou will also study the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which connects the behavior of integrals to the behavior of derivatives in such a fundamental way that integrals are also known as antiderivatives. This theorem makes evaluating integrals a lot easier.\nAs you study further in higher-dimensional calculus and manifold theory, you will learn more general ways of thinking about derivatives and integrals, in that you will simply view them as forms over fields. We know all about linear algebra; we have to use derivatives to reduce the study of nonlinear forms to our familiar territory of linear algebra. This view is very useful in theoretical physics and differential geometry.\n\nAs some examples, let's study a curve we know well, the parabola y=x^2. To spice this up a little, let the parabola be the path of a bullet fired at some (horizontal) muzzle velocity v. Then from physics we know y(t) = -4.5*t^2 + 1 and horizontally x(t)=vt, so the path of the bullet is given by y(x) = (-4.5/v^2)x^2 + 1. We want to know how hard the bullet will hit the ground, so we need to know the instantaneous velocity of the bullet when y=0, which is when x=v/Sqrt[4.5] and thus t=Sqrt[4.5]. The velocity consists of the speed and direction of the bullet. First we get the direction, which is the slope of y(x) when y=0. Let -4.5/v^2 = k. Thus we want to study the quotient [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h = [ k(x+h)^2 + 1 - kx^2 - 1]/h = k*[x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - x^2]/h = k*[2xh + h^2]/h = k*[2x + h] as h approaches zero, which is just 2kx, so we have 2*(-4.5/v^2)*(v/Sqrt[4.5]) = -2*Sqrt[4.5]/v so the final slope decreases in absolute magnitude as muzzle velocity increases, as one would intuitively expect. The speed is a little more tedious, but if you've followed the above, you can do it yourself in no time.\nIntegration at this level requires knowledge of series and limits; if you're interested, pick up a good calculus text.

If a person wants to lose weight but can not afford to do this on thier own should the government help them ?

there is an argument that can be made about paying for weight loss/control because the ramifications of obesity are so costly.  however, there are very few proven methods of weight loss aside from eating less and exercising.  people who are incapable of exercising are already at a point where their health is impacted.\n\nyour point about junk food being less expensive than good food is very valid but unfortunately, the government is filled with lobbyists from the snack food and fast food industries who encourage legislation to promote their products (who would actually believe that ketchup is a vegetable?  your government does).  it's interesting that in every country that adopts western culture to any extent, obesity almost invariably follows.  america's number one export is fat.

Well?  The challenge of hitting a ball 400 yards, with a club, and doing it in just 4-5 shots is a challenge that is almost addicting, as you strive to make that 'great' shot..\n\nThink about it.  You are taking a ball less than 2 inchs, and smacking it only a few times to get it into a little hole some distance away.  \n\nThe bonuses of golf are the cute cart girls, who bring refreshments, and meeting new people, and a feeling of being in the great outdoors.\n\nAnd the best reason to play golf is you get to break away from your regular chores.

Since your question is in Marketing & Advertising, I presume you are talking about Marketing/Advertising Campaigns.\n\nBy defination any advertising/marketing done by a company is "professional," because the professionasl who work there come up wit it.\n\nI presume you mean campaigns like Coke, Intel, Wonderbra. In that case it is usually done by advertising agencies - of course the marketing still briefs the agencies and pay the the big $$$. I would say it is a colloborative effort between teh clients and the agencies.


how could I know the difference between the Essential oils quality? Is there any specification?

Essential is about how it smell...if you buy a bottle you must check the percent of the purity and also how strong it smell.  If you prepare it in your house is better if you do little extractions instead of a big one because you could get more oil doing little extractions.
