Namaste!
Why don't you try a short-term contract with a company based somewhere in the EU and see whether or not you like it? Things will be very different from the way they are in India, and depending on where in India you come from, you may find the weather hard to deal with. The term is usually 2 years or less, and there's less of a permanent commitment although with some companies it can lead to more.
Where you settle depends on what you want out of life. Opportunities exist in India and they are getting better all the time, because India's software industry is booming. If you stay in India, you will be perfectly positioned to get one of the computer programming jobs or semiconductor industry jobs that are going to India. Does that automatically mean good pay and benefits? Not necessarily. Lots of people emigrated to the USA over the last few years chasing opportunities, and not all of them found what they were looking for. Even if culture shock isn't a problem for you, it might be good to compare the salary with the cost of living. Chances are that food, transportation, and clothing will cost more than they do in India. Also keep in mind that the EU has fairly heavy taxes to support the government programs that exist there.
Check the Internet (http://www.monster.com would be a good place to start) and look at salaries, cost of living, and terms of employment in the regions that interest you.
Good luck.

is it posible to date two friends at a time?people said it is bad can i believe this? (link)
|
Of course it's possible. In fact, it's a great idea, especially if neither relationship is really serious. Part of the reason there's so much teen sex these days is because people have gotten the idea that when people "are dating" they're somehow committed to each other as if they were engaged. In reality, they're not. They're just friends. Going through all the motions and pretending to be committed when you aren't truly in love is a bad idea.
It is OK to be friends with more than one person at a time. It is similarly OK to go to movies, dinner, or dancing with more than one person. Making an exclusive commitment to somebody just because you had lunch together is premature. It leads to other premature things including casual sex outside a committed relationship.
What you need to do is to make sure you actually talk with both your dates, separately, and tell them you aren't ready to be exclusive yet. Tell them you're dating somebody else casually, and that if things get serious you'll break it off with everyone else you're seeing, but not before.
all 3 of you know what the ground rules are. A "date" can mean a lot of things. Just because you're going to coffee or movies with a person doesn't mean you've signed a contract with him or her. You don't have to exchange rings just because you've had lunch together. Nor does it automatically mean that there's anything intimate going on just because you went to a movie with someone. This isn't Saudi Arabia, for pity's sake.
Now, if you find yourself really caring for one of the people you spend time with, the thing to do is to talk it over with that person and decide whether you want to become exclusive. In the old days, an engagement ring used to be exchanged. At this point, it was bad form for either of these people to go on dates with anyone else, since a couple is supposed to entertain (and be entertained) together. This means you can go to the movies with your friend... but bring your fiance.

Hi my name is Misty and I am 35 years old and have three children. I was in a long time relationship with my childs father and the man left me, then I met a new man and started a new relationship. Because the first man decided to come back to me I wanted to try and make it work so I explained to the new man and we stoped that relationship. Now the first man left me again and I want to explore the relationship that I had tried to have with the new man but he wont allow me to. I just need one more shot and I know I can make it work with him, I just need him to notice me and help him to understand that I will never leave him again. What can I do to make this man notice me and know that he can trust me and understand that the first man will never again be a part of my life again.....PLEASE HELP ME....I have a girlfriend who is trying but she just dosen't have the answer to this one. (link)

If you haven't tried simply calling him and admitting you made a mistake, it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. But if you've done that and he is ignoring you, or if he won't return your calls, then the man doesn't want you back. If that's the case there is no solution to your problem, because it's impossible to turn back time.
Try to look at it from the new man's point of view. You probably had very good reasons for dumping him and trying to get back together with your ex, but what it boils down to is that you basically broke up with him because a better deal came along. So no matter how much he might have cared for you, he wasn't Mr. Right, just Mr. Right Now. That's hard to take, especially if he thought he was something more. Maybe he's still in pain, or maybe he's moved on, but either way he's no longer available.
Clearly your circumstances have changed, but there's no way for the new guy to peek into your head and understand that, assuming that he wants to. It's nice to believe that if we're sorry enough and sincere enough, people will give us chances to do everything over again and do it right. In reality, it very seldom happens. There's always a lurking fear that the same old bad stuff will happen again... and that's why so few marriages survive an affair or a trial separation. The only way to get around that is if you've built a solid foundation of mutual trust *before* the mistake happens. You don't appear to have reached that stage with the new guy before you dumped him, so unfortunately you don't have a foundation to build on. I feel for you, but you can't save a relationship that isn't there.
He might have other reasons for not wanting you back: perhaps he's contemplating a move out of town, or maybe he's found somebody else. In any case it would probably be best for you not to chase this man, and to focus on being the kind of person Guy #3 (whoever he is) might like to have for a friend, girlfriend, or wife.
Good luck.

I need help. I am going through a lot at this time of my age. My parents are at the edge of getting divorced, school is getting very difficult and the problem is my whole entire family is counting on me( i am have a extremely very big family).. I have my whole life planed out such as my carreers and the steps i will be taking. so much is going through my mind and i really need some to trust and talk to not only for a day. Any suggestions.
P.S. i have even bigger problems than this and i am only 13. (link)

You need somebody who is far enough away from the problem to see it objectively, and who is not likely to contribute to your problems. Your best choice would be a school guidance counselor. These people are there to listen to you, and right now you need someone who will put you first. This isn't the kind of situation where your friends or dates might be able to help. Get the school guidance counselor, who might be able to offer you some tips on dealing with your family, dealing with stress, and good study skills so that you can make the study time you have more effective.
Good luck,
Jade

I Was cast as puck in act five for the school play. I really hate that part. I really want to be in the school play but I really don't want to be puck, especially in act five. I don't understand why they cast me as puck since I'm a girl and auditioned for Titania and the lovers. What should I do? (link)

You have three options.
Your first option is to complain to the teacher, the director, and everyone who will listen until you get a part more to your liking. This will mean at least one person on the cast will be inconvenienced, and you will annoy your director. This is usually not something professional actors do.
Your second option is to keep the part, do it, and let everyone know how unhappy you are. Your attitude will show through in your performance and it will be clear that you were miscast, and that your acting skills are not up to doing anything that isn't typecast to the kind of character you'd prefer to play.
Your third option is to do what Charlize Theron did when she was cast as a lesbian prostitute serial killer. She found out everything she could about the character she was playing, studied how to move, speak, and think like that character so that she could be convincing. Then she gave such a commanding performance of the character that she won an Oscar. She couldn't have won that Oscar if she'd been given some ordinary role such as Tatiana. It's harder to play the unusual characters; that's why the best actors seek these roles out. There's been an entire book written on the King in Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Anyone can coast through Juliet or Tatiana; smaller or non-standard roles are the true test of acting ability.

Im a straight A student and I have never really cared much about my grades. It isn't hard for me to get a A at my school. I am in 6th grade and I know this isn't very serious but I'm worried. I have gotten a B+ on my test in math...yeah I know no big deal...and I know it isn't. I just took it as a sign to pay attention in class, which I do. I recently got a A+ on my math test so everything is fine in math. I'm not worried about any of my other classes except language arts. For the past two quarters its been a easy A. I got a B or a B+ on one of my tests and I was like alright, that was just a mistake I made and I'll be sure to pay more attention. Well we did these powerpoint presentations on the book 'The Cay' and I got a C on it. I was at a 92% and I'm not sure how far this will drop my grade. I really don't want to have to get a b+ on my report card. I know I sound pretty preppy or whatever but it's not that. My dad has been having 'trouble' letting go of me lately because boys have been asking me out and my friensd are trying to get me to go to the movies with the boys and I've been buying shorter skirts...and I know he isn't exactly the happiest man in the world. I just know he would be dissappointed if I came home. The real question is , is there anything I can do to bring my grade up? (link)

There is no shame in getting a tutor. At your age, a study group might be a better idea. Pick a couple people in the class whose grades are higher than yours and study with them once a week. Go over class notes and discuss the material. Meet at your place so that your father can see you aren't running around. Don't actually do the assignments together unless it's a group project, but talk to other people in your class. This will help if you miss something, or if you get sick and have to borrow someone else's notes.

I`m currently on workers comp. I have injury my shoulder & the ortho doctor gave me a rating of lost of 17 per cent-my question is:Based on money how much is that worth? for me to get at the end of my case?
other questions, If I close my workers comp case the money of the settle will be giving to me by payments or all at once?
Lest said that I close my case all at once and in the future I re-injure my shoulder or get different complications because of my preview injury can I re-open the case?
please somebody there help me I will apreciate any advice maybe someone have had a related experience relate to legal matters thanks. (link)
|
There are advantages and disadvantages either way. If you close the case early, you get the money up front as a settlement (much like closing an accident case with an insurance company). If you don't want to close the case, you are more likely to get coverage for problems that arise later, but the longer you let the problem go, the more trouble you will have collecting. In the meantime you will probably have to pay for everything yourself. You didn't say whether the 17% loss is permanent.
Settlements for partial disabilities tend to be lump sums from insurance companies and (occasionally) employers. There are sometimes cases where it's a lump sum plus later medical expenses (which have a cap or maximum limit). Sometimes companies will pay for physiotherapy or other medical expenses directly. For very large settlements (such as for a death or for total paralysis) there are sometimes pension-like payments made over time. The shoulder injury you describe should not fall into that category.
Compensation systems sometimes consider whether you can still do your regular job. If your regular job requires the use of that shoulder, the rules may change depending on where you live and how the injury happened.

I need some good advice about my sister. She is 15 yrs. old {I am 21 if that matter's} and has been getting in alot of trouble at school & home. She got into a fight at school, stole my mom's car one night to go joy riding, tried to hook-up with a 26 year old ex-convict, and the other day was caught giving a note to a boy with a condom inside, asking him when they were gonna have sex! My mom, or me doesnt know what to do anymore. Talking to her about this doesn't seem to phase her. She just cries, promises to do better and never does. Do you think she is doing this for attention? Also, I told my mom I think she need's to get on birth-control, for the obvious reasons, so she will not get pregnant. My mom said NO! she said putting her on birth-control is just going to give my sister the go-ahead to have sex. I don't know if she has ever had sex or not, but if she's passin' out condoms to people then i dont think it'll be to long before she does. Any advice? (link)

Talking to your sister directly without first gaining her trust is going to accomplish nothing. Signing her up for "boot camp" will produce results for the first few minutes or so, but she'll slide back into her old behaviors once the brainwashing wears off. The only way you can get her to actually trust you is to spend some time with her *without* trying to change her or manipulate her.
How much time, on the average, does your sister get to spend with an adult who listens to her without trying to preach, tell her to do something, or rag on her? I'm not saying that you should step in and try to be a parent figure or a mentor, but having someone she trusts and can talk to may help. That might be your mom or a school counselor, or it might be you. You have an edge over your mom and the school counselor because you're your sister's peer, not an authority figure.
It's clear she's acting out sexually; what's not clear is why. She may have been molested by somebody, or she might be bullied at school or getting bad grades. She could even be acting out because she's so lonely that this is the only way she knows how to get attention. It might even be the sort of problem where she needs a professional counselor-- you won't know until you spend some time with your sister and find out what's bothering her. This doesn't mean talking to her, it means listening to her. People don't open up on command, so before she tells you what's really on her mind, she's going to have to trust you. This means you need to spend time with her *without* pushing her to change, interrogating her, or giving her a rough time. You don't have to sign off on her behavior, but the smartest thing to do is to not discuss it until she brings it up, and then to do it in a non-confrontational way. You can't schedule trusting revelations like that; they have to come on their own and they only happen after you've done the groundwork to establish a rapport and trust. Neither you nor your mother appear to have made that investment by spending time with your sister in an unstructured way, or by doing things *she* wants to do (as opposed to forcibly including her in your chosen activities, or watching her play sports that have been selected for her).
For what it's worth, the time your sister spends playing checkers with you or watching a movie with your mom is time she's *not* spending chasing ex-convicts or stealing cars. She's still young enough that Big Sisters, a local Youth At Risk Foundation, or a similar mentoring program might be willing to match her up with an adult who's trained to listen, and who doesn't necessarily have an agenda with regard to her (which is a very common assumption teenagers tend to make about their parents and other authority figures).

I don't think there is a section for puberty, but there should be.
Anyhow, I have a hurty pimple thing in my NOSE. Gross, yes. Hurty, yes. It's like pea-sized and it hurts alot. It's right on the opening of my nostril. At first I thought it was a tumor but thats very unlikely. I went to pop it and only a little bit of zitty stuff came out, even though it's huge. (Ewwy...)
Any remedies or comments? (link)

There are two states(Kentucky & Illinois) that will let you use a religious objection in order not to give them your social security number when applying for a drivers license. Does anybody know what exactly what would qualify as a religious objection to those two states? (link)
|
You must be a member of a religion or culture that does not condone social security numbers or other forms of registration. If you were an ethnic Tzigani (Gypsy), for example, chances are you wouldn't even have a Social Security number. A few Christian fundamentalist sects object to registration, and I think there is one Orthodox Jewish community that may oppose registration in principle, although I think that community is located in New York and its members do vote. Religious organizations are typically registered as charities, so you would have to locate an organized, registered religion wherein it's common for members to refuse to get SSNs.
You would need to actually convert to that religion and obtain some kind of certificate or proof of membership from the priest, priestess, or other authority. This usually means familiarizing yourself with the religion and believing in it-- most priests and other religious people can tell the difference between a genuine conversion and a simple desire to exploit membership in the religion for some other purpose. Not all religions permit outsiders to become members: you would have difficulty breaking into the Amish community, for example... although if you were Amish, you wouldn't need a driver's license to begin with.
Founding an anti-registration religion yourself would be a huge expenditure of time and effort; you would have to have other members of the religion besides yourself, and there is a lot of paperwork involved in getting the 501(c)3 exemption.

Hi,
I'm writing regarding a job offer I received to have a second paid internship at a financial management house as a signal processing system developer. I am an electrical engineering student with a 3.8GPA in Canada and simply wondering if at this point in my education if I should try to diversify my work experience by sticking out the competitive job market, or get solid in-depth knowledge in a position i enjoy and that provides ample respect and compensation.
Thanks (link)

I suggest that you take the second internship with the same company. In engineering, years of experience mean everything especially if you're a mature student. When you graduate, if you can list 2 years or even 3 years of internship experience in one field, it displays loyalty and trainability as well as in-depth knowledge.
There are engineers out there who say they have "10 years of experience" bouncing around from one job to another. In reality they don't have 10 years of experience, they have the same 1 year of experience repeated 10 different times. In-depth skill and understanding count for way more than diversity, because they reflect an ability to deliver the goods.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, especially in today's job market. Right now, there's a chance you may be able to leverage your current job into full-time employment after you graduate. If for some reason you try this and can't make it happen, your 3.8 GPA and your years of experience can help you generate a good offer elsewhere. If, however, you choose to diversify, you basically give up the chance of leveraging your current job into full-time employment after graduation.
You also don't know what your next internship assignment will be-- lots of companies use interns for scut work and inventory the first year and don't give out meaningful responsibilities until you've been there a while. If the financial management house has given you actual responsibilites, you are better off than most engineering interns. There's no guarantee you will actually get the diversity you're hoping for by changing internship assignments.

im such an idiot. Ive quit smokin even though there ciggerates in my locker and i havent have a shot or any liqur in like 2weeks. ive stop cuttin and everything. Until today. my mom wont quit yellin at me for stuff that i did do or didnt so i cuttin my side it really bleeding. Im like on my 6th paper towel but its slowing down. My life is screwing up again i dont think i can survive another downfall. Than for listenin bye
*dead soon* (link)

You're not an idiot. In fact, you're a very strong person to quit cigarettes and alcohol. Still the cutting situation is a problem, and you need more help than you're getting from your mother.
Go to a guidance counselor at school or a teacher. Call a suicide hotline. Tell them about your cutting problem. Talk about the alcohol and cigarettes. They will refer you to counselors who know how to help you and who provide free services. Don't confront your mother yet; if she's yelling a lot she may have problems of her own that are affecting her ability to help you. Deal with her later once you're operating from a position of strength.

Yo,
I have question and you may think that it is the same ol thing but i need anvice!
This "guy" that i crushed on for like 3 years and i finally got the guts to tell him he told me that he doesn't like me. well i lived but its like now i act like he is an idiot and stuff. but now he seems to be the one watching me and like he is really weird around me. he seems to stare at me when he thinks im not looking and stuff. see i know guyz send mixed signals cause this guy did it to me for 3 years. i don't know if he likes me now that im acting like i don't like him. the other problem is my best friend has a crush on him now and we are very honest with each other and i've told her that he is all hers but still like him. and i don't want him to end up liking her instead of me. so ya see my prob? im confused!
please give some advice!

Yo,
Over the last 3 years this guy got used to your behavior because of you liking him. There were probably some good things that went along with it: you were probably extra nice to him, you cut him some slack, and maybe you even dated.
Chances are he knew about how you felt the whole time; if he didn't figure it out for himself someone else (maybe one of your friends) probably noticed and told him. If that's the case, he made the (rather selfish) decision to enjoy the benefits of your crush without giving you anything in return. That would explain the mixed signals. This isn't "using you", it's just enjoying the benefits of something that's in his favor. He got away with it up to this point because you didn't come right out and tell him you cared.
Now that you've told him, if you allow him the benefits of having you care about him, you are giving him a license to use you. His natural conclusion will be that you deserve to be used, and he might be inclined to start doing just that. So you have to stop giving him any benefits. You don't have to be mean, just stop hanging out with him and quit cutting him slack.
Now there's also a chance he was genuinely clueless about your feelings for him, in which case he's deciding whether or not he likes you. He might have just thought of you as a friend up until now. Take off and make him come after you-- stop hanging around him. This way, if he wants to come after you he will, and if he decides to date your friend, at least you won't have to watch.

Hey,
I am a 16 year old female.Thank you for taking your time to actually read my question.Now My question is that, I have a boyfriend that I am really into but a couple days ago I was around an ex-boyfriend and friends and we kissed.Now I feel as though since I really like my boyfriend that i should tell him what i did but.The problem is I don't know what to say. I really want to be with him but I'm scared that maybe if I tell him that though the kiss ment nothing he will think I still have feelings with my ex and we will break up.I have had thoughts of not telling him but then I will feel guilty and it might be a way that he find out from someone else.Oh my goodness I need help on what to say Please help me!
Thank you,

You might not like this advice.
I think that kiss is a symptom of a deeper, bigger problem. The fact that you feel guilty at all is proof that the kiss really *did* mean something. If it really meant nothing you'd have forgotten it by now. Until you know why the kiss happened and admit the reasons to yourself, talking it over with your boyfriend won't accomplish anything. You have to be honest with yourself before you can be honest with him.
One thing just jumped out at me here: nowhere in your letter did you mention that you love your current boyfriend. You might be feeling some pressure to be in love with him, or at least to act as though you are. Since you're an honest person, that's got to feel a little bit wrong to you. I bet you were feeling some very secret doubts even before you kissed the ex. Of course, nobody said you had to love him... yet at the same time, if you're exclusive, most people assume that there's a certain amount of love involved. If there isn't, that's a problem.
There's not much point in being in an exclusive relationship unless you can put your heart into it. Even if you truly want to do that, your heart might not be going along with it, and a person can't just fall in love on command. Don't go confusing a lack of love or a lack of commitment to the relationship as a lack of effort or a character flaw in yourself, because it's not. There could be plenty of good reasons why you aren't in love:
1) You really do have some feelings for your ex
2) You have some doubts or negative feelings toward your current boyfriend and kissed your ex as a way of testing the strength of the relationship and of putting your current boyfriend to the test
3) You don't have feelings for your ex, but you just had an impulse to kiss him and you acted on it even though you knew you'd regret it later
4) You wanted the attention, or had a secret desire to stir up some drama, possibly because of stresses in other parts of your life such as school or family
5) You are simply not ready for a relationship at the moment because you aren't in enough control of other aspects of your life to feel as though you're in the driver's seat, or to offer the kind of emotional investment needed for an exclusive relationship
None of these things are necessarily your fault, although they create a state of affairs that makes it impossible to offer the kind of commitment you think might be appropriate. What you do about these things, however, is a reflection of your basic character. You can choose to fake the commitment, or you can choose to acknowledge the fact that it isn't there. I recommend the latter; it will clear the air and enable both you and your boyfriend to do something about it.
First you have to admit to yourself that you aren't 100% committed to an exclusive relationship with your boyfriend. This is *exactly* as it should be at age 16. You haven't finished your education yet and you aren't supporting yourself, so if you're a responsible person, you would not put a relationship ahead of school, work, family, and such. What you're doing (and what your boyfriend is doing as well) is a kind of test drive of what a mature courtship process is like. It might evolve into something more-- who knows?-- but right now it's just a test drive. A test drive is a very good thing, but don't mistake it for actually owning the car.
The next thing you have to do is identify why you aren't ready for a relationship right now. Keep in mind that "not being ready" isn't your fault OR your boyfriend's fault, and it isn't an indicator of immaturity. Recent widows, divorcees, most college women, and most young professionals aren't ready for serious relationships either: maybe they're just coming out of one, or maybe there are other things in their lives that mean they don't have the emotional resources to fall in love at the time. The mature thing for a woman to do in a situation like this is to date casually and let the opportunity for a "serious" exclusive relationship pass by. Be friends, or date casually, but don't lock yourself into being a girlfriend until you're sure you have the desire, the self-knowledge, the stability, and the emotional resources to be a good, committed girlfriend (who doesn't have impulse control problems, hidden issues, or feelings for exes that are strong enough to inspire her to do destructive things like kissing other men).
Trying to keep the current relationship you have with your current boyfriend is not a mature or honest thing to do, because the only way you can keep it is to lie somehow: either lie by not telling him about the kiss, or lie about the reason behind the kiss. No matter how much you enjoy the benefits of being exclusive with him, you're not giving your share, and there's some pretending going on. You know it at some level, and chances are that's what's causing the guilt. For what it's worth, some people fake their way through relationships their whole lives, and you know what they get? Loveless marriages, affairs, and empty hearts. You deserve better than this, but the only way you can get it is to be honest with yourself, and then be honest with your boyfriend. Don't tell him about the kiss right away; tell him about the serious problem-- the one that's keeping you from being the kind of committed girlfriend he thinks you are. Talk that over with him first, and then mention the kiss later so that he realizes it's a symptom, not the root problem. If you're going to lose him completely (and you might), don't lose him over a kiss, lose him over something meaningful.
Of course, the mature thing to do is seldom the easy thing to do. It means you miss out on the social prestige of being someone's girlfriend. It means you don't have exclusive access to your boyfriend, and it means you'll have to be the one to lay the cards on the table and 'fess up to the fact that an exclusive relationship is more than you can offer just now. You would rather date casually, or even just be friends. If you want, you can talk about your reasons for not being ready right now-- whatever they might happen to be. Admit that it really is your problem, not his. If he'd like to help you get through it, you'd appreciate it, and you'd still like to go out with him, but you just can't offer him the kind of commitment and passion he deserves right now. Nor can you guarantee it will ever be there, although you're really into him and you hope that someday you can be more than friends.
This will be hard for your boyfriend to take, especially if he's in love with you, since it's a step backward from what he thinks he's got. But it's better than offering him phony love or trying to lie and play along like everything's OK. Trying to pass off the kiss you gave your ex as "nothing" is an example of lying and playing along: even if you tell your boyfriend about the kiss, you'd still be dishonest with him about your level of commitment to the relationship. At a certain level he would probably realize that, too.
I don't know how your boyfriend will respond to total honesty-- and I mean talking about the reason behind the kiss, compared to which the kiss itself is just a symptom. If you want to bring up the kiss too, go for it-- but make sure you present it as a symptom of the root problem.
After you've finished with your boyfriend, I guarantee you will not have the exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend relationship any more, at least not for now. But I also guarantee you'll have his respect. That's not to be taken lightly. You may have his friendship as well, depending on his feelings for you, and you might also have his trust. If he's truly in love with you and mature enough to commit 100% to the relationship, he may surprise you by sticking around to work this issue through. If he's been test driving, you won't hurt him very much at all since it's a learning experience for him too.

Hi im one of your fellow advice columnist!
I'm asking this question because i'm desprete! (no offence) My mom has this hatrid for schools and so i'm home schooled but I don't get taught anything! Some of you may think this is great but I want to go to collage and my mom is excepting me have my GED when I turn 16 which is in 2 years. My mom says thats its my responsability to remind her to teach me. Its just that I don't like to remind her because all she does is give me the same stuff to that she has been giving me for the last 6 years. My mother REALLY depressed and I am having a hard time with her. this year when school starts I should be in 9th grade and in high school but I amm really scared about what to do! because if the state knew that I'm not getting any schooling they would take me away. I mean I'm getting to the point to where I'm going to tell the state. Please don't tell me tell my mother to put me in school because I have done that MANY times and trust me my mom isn't pretty when she is mad.
I have taught myself to read and write play the piano and many other things that I could learn to do in school. I am very advanced in piano and I write poetry and I have one that is published and I have storys published in magazines too. i am very good at cooking and baking. sewing.
So you see I'm not stupid but I cant go any futher now. I NEED to be in school.
I really could use your advice! i really would like an aults point of veiw on this but will take anybodys advice.
thankyou you can e-mail me at kutekrushkat@yahoo.com

First, make your mom buy you a book called "Cracking the GED" by the Princeton Review. It contains all the information you will need to take the GED test. You've got two more years to learn the basics of what's in that book. It should contain some sample tests to help you identify what your weak points are. The actual GED test changes from year to year but the book should give you a baseline from which to work.
When (not if, WHEN) you apply to college you'll need a bit more than the Princeton Review can give you. You don't have the kind of problem that can be addressed with a quick fix. So I've also written to you via E-mail; write me back and tell me what you think.
Good luck.

So I've been doing my taxes and looking over all these papers I have, which is a LOT. I've got bank statements and credit card bills and cable bills and all this old stuff that's been paid and taken care of but that I kept anyway, just because it seemed like a good idea. Do most people keep all this stuff? For how long? I've got copies of old bills from 1998, I know I've got to throw somethings out here. (link)

If you have access to a computer, go to the federal taxation and revenue service's web site. In the USA this is www.irs.gov and in Canada it's www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca
These Web sites will tell you exactly how long you need to keep tax related papers.

I am a director of the limited company and I dont know kow to write accounts for non trading limited company. Could you please advice me since I am facing the penalty if I don't send my accounts to the company house in time in time (link)

First, judging by your question I suspect you're not in the USA or Canada, where the word "director" has a very specific meaning. If you are getting sarcastic replies, it may be because in the USA and Canada, "director" refers to a member of a company's Board of Directors, who are usually seasoned businesspeople and often part owners of the company, but who seldom take a direct role in management of the company unless they are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). They usually don't have to do the accounting; they typically pay someone else to do it unless it's a very small company. I noticed you said "non-trading" so this implies it is a smaller company that isn't publicly traded.
When you say "company house" I suspect you manage a regional office for some larger limited liability company (LLC). If this is the case, a phone call to the main office can get you a copy of last year's books so you know how your paperwork should be formatted. If this is a new start-up company or there are no old records available, your best bet is to call an accountant immediately.
You need two basic papers: a profit-and-loss statement and a balance sheet. The profit-and-loss statement is the easiest to prepare. List all your revenue (income) in one column and all your expenses in another. Revenue means sales, interest on money you have in the bank, repayment of debts, etc. Expenses means rent, payroll, taxes, raw materials, and everything that takes money out of the company. At the bottom of the revenue column will be your total revenue. At the bottom of the expense column will be your total expenses. Subtract the expenses from the income and you have your gross profit or loss. Now, if part of your job is to determine whether taxes are owing on this amount, you need to call in an accountant to look at this sheet. Some of your expenses may be tax deductible. I can't tell you which expenses are and which ones aren't because I have no idea what country you're in or what the local tax rules are like.
The second sheet you need is the balance sheet. The balance sheet lists your assets and liabilities. Split them apart the way you did your P&L sheet. Assets include capital equipment, buildings, computers, money in the bank, and debts that are owing to you. Even if you still owe money on a building you bought, you can list it as a company asset. Liabilities include loan payments (such as an outstanding debt for the building you bought), bills you have yet to pay, payroll expenses, and such. When you add up the total assets with the total liabilities, the amounts should be equal.
Your company may require other calculations or analysis, so if you have contact with the company house or head office you need to call them and find out what their requirements are. Most companies want detailed notes on staffing and hours, for example, or a regular supply inventory. This is a good time of the year to do this, especially if your company needs to pay taxes on employee earnings or on unsold inventory.
If your LLC is a sole proprietorship (that is, if you own it or are the only one doing the accounting) or if you've never done a P&L or a balance sheet before, call an accountant and pay him or her to walk you through it. Trust me, it will be worth the expense. Do not leave it until the last minute because in many places this is tax season and accountants are very busy.

For my chemistry coursework I was given the task 'Comparing the enthalpy of combustion of various alcohols'. It basically means that I had to burn ethanol,methanol,propanol and butanol in spirit burners and measure the tmperature change of the water in a calorimeter suspended above the burner.
I'm not sure how to go about writing up the analysis or what to write in the risk assessment.
Have you got any suggestions?
Thanks a bundle. (link)

For the analysis, first take a look at your hypothesis. Based on the chemical structure of these different alcohols, you should be able to make some predictions as to which ones will release more heat. You may also be able to look up some empirical data about the enthalpy of combustion for each of the given alcohols. If alcohol A, for example, has 1.5 times the enthalpy of alcohol B, it would be realistic to expect about 1.5 times as much energy to be transfered to the water. You can measure the energy transfer by recording the change in heat of the water over time, and by comparing that to the mass of water being heated. Ensure that you are using an equal number of mols of each alcohol: this may be part of the experiment.
For the risk assessment, I'm used to hearing the phrase in two different contexts. The first context is physical risk: you're messing with combustible alcohols. The other context (which I think is the one you mean) is the risk of skewing your experimental results. The most common sources of experimental error are poor measurement and improper recording of experimental results. You could, for example, measure the alcohols by volume instead of factoring in molar weight and ensuring that the samples had identical alcohol content. You could fail to record the starting temperature of the water prior to each experiment. You could fail to ensure that the same amount of water is used, or that the water samples start off at the same temperature (ie. room temperature instead of boiling). The spirit burner should cut down the heat transference to other things besides the water in the calorimeter.
Good luck!

Ive just started babysitting and i dont no how much i should charge and hour. any ideas? (link)
|
How much you charge depends on the kind, amount, and quality of service you are providing to the family.
If you are providing your own transportation or caring for multiple children, if you provide round-the-clock care or emergency care, or if they want full nanny duties which include helping the children with homework, entertaining them, taking them to the park, preparing meals, or light housekeeping, it's realistic to charge what nannies, tutors, or housekeepers charge, which is about 1.5 times minimum wage for someone who isn't living in the household. Of course, if you charge this rate you need to really deliver the goods. When the children are down for their naps or sleeping, you need to be washing floors or doing dishes. When they're awake, you need to be playing with them or teaching them something in a way that is fun for the children. Telling the children to play outside while you do your own homework or read the newspaper is not an option.
If all the parents want is for someone to be in the house in case of an emergency, if you plan on watching TV while the children play in another room, then all they're paying you for is your presence. A token fee of USD$2 or GBP£1 per hour is sufficient if you're going to be doing something else most of the time such as watching videos or talking to friends on the phone. This is the standard of babysitting usually expected from teenagers in the United States, so it does not command minimum wage unless there are at least 3 or 4 children involved. It is unrealistic to expect minimum wage or nanny pay simply for showing up. Most parents who have the means are willing pay extra for a top-notch sitter who acts more like a nanny and puts their children first. A few people only want someone to make sure the house doesn't burn down while they're gone, because they prefer to have their children watch TV or play Nintendo instead. Some parents can't afford good quality care for their children and have no idea what it looks like.
A good idea would be to get a list of services your employers want from you, and to call some teenaged friends of yours who might already be babysitting. This will probably give you a good basic price for just being in the house where the child is.

Well my husband & I have only been married for 2 year's and we just bought our own house for the first time and now we are about to lose it so we rented out our other bed room's to two other ladies, well the first lady is real nice she work's all the time and sleep's all the time she is no problem you hardly see her and she is 29 year's old,the 2nd lady is 75 year's old ans she is home all the time and she is under my skin and is veru noisy and fight's with me and want's me to tell her where i'am going and when my first room mate is home is fight's with her and messes up the bathroom so my first room mate has to clean it up,and my husband take her side all the time i'am in the middle all the time don't know what to do,we need her rent to get caught up and every time we try to talk to her she just want's to fight and agruge,i'am going crazy please help.

First, you and your husband need to present a united front to your tenants. This means that you and he need to sit down quietly somewhere and talk the situation over. Yes, you need income. That does not mean you need to put up with bad behavior.
If she continues to fight and argue, this probably isn't a good fit. If she has a lease, though, you will be stuck with her for the term of the lease. If it's a month to month tenancy, you can usually cancel, in writing, at the start of the month one month in advance. This means that you need to have her notice prepared by the beginning of next month. Check your local Landlord-Tenant Act for details.
The only way you can get rid of her more quickly is if she's breaking a written agreement or violating the terms of her lease, such as by not paying on time or by sneaking a pet into a no-pet building. Your local Landlord-Tenant Act will tell you what your rights and responsibilities are.
Under no circumstances should you just tell her to leave, or try to get rid of her in the middle of the month, or violate the Landlord-Tenant Act in any way. Even if you don't have a written lease or rental agreement, certain minimum standards are enforceable in court. If your finances are as bad as you say they are, the last thing you need is a lawsuit.
