Yahoo calendar invitations?

I have a weekly recurring class on my yahoo calendar. I noticed if I setup an invitation it goes out immediately. Is there a way I can have an invitation go out at a specific time before the event. For example, 2 days before the event an invitation is sent each time it recurs?

How can I find public speaking work in NYC/NJ/CT?

I have spoken to thousands of kids in high schools all over the NY/NJ area but it takes a LOT of work trying to setup these events with the schools. It’s amazing that in this economy I have to work so hard to volunteer my time to speak at schools. This is however a big part of my life purpose so I need to find a more efficient way to find speaking gigs. I want the schools to start contacting me rather than I have to run them down all the time.

I would also like to start speaking at colleges as well, but I would charge the colleges. I think I need a PR agent but that is probably too expensive. Is there some kind of agency I can join? How can I increase my speaking opportunities?

Starting a Clothing Business?

Does anyone have experience selling clothing online and outdoor events such as races, craft shows, fairs, car shows, etc.?? I’m in the process of setting up licensing, resell permit, and wholesale accounts with vendors. I will be operating initially as a home based business. I would love any info regarding setup at outdoor events, warehousing at home, website setup, start-up cost. sucess stories, etc. Thanks!!!

Im trying to install audio drivers and…..??

i just installed the audio drivers and i went through the setup thing and i restarted. When i restarted it said it had failed to blabla and it said check event viewer. What do i do to fix this mess up.

Should i go to party with this girl i like or do my own thing?

What the best move is here? I have this girl I have my eye on, and we setup to go to afternoon event together this weekend. Problem is afterwards her best friend is having an important friends get together. And its not a phony out to ditch me, its an event that was planned long time ago. She said that it is also all people just talking Spanish so it might not be a great time for me either. She says she would like me there, but my own impression is she feels she might have to babysit me, but she would still like me there.

Would it come off much better if I just make other plans myself and cut myself out for the evening, thus getting her off guilt hook of bringing me along and babysitting, and showing her I got social life outside of her?

Or should I take offer to come along? I am capable of holding my own in social gatherings, so no babysitting required.
So maximize time with her? Or cut bait and hopefully leave her wanting more?

Wedding planners & anyone in the business. How do I handle this little problem?

My Husband & I own & run a DJ service. We are willing to travel almost anywhere for our clients. We live in a metropolitan area & may travel as little as 5 miles to as many as 70+ miles. It can be difficult to meet some of the venues expectations. I have the reoccurring problem that the venue we are supposed to play at has a strict set up time. For example they want us setup between 10am-2pm, the event isn’t starting till 6pm. I prefer to go set up at about 4:30-5pm if we are traveling more than 25+ miles.

Sometimes if the GIG is near by my husband sets up early then goes to work then goes to play at the gig so its not that we aren’t willing to work with client or venue. I don’t mind setting up early but sometimes my husband has to work even when we ask for the day in advance they need him (full time job). I am not interested in charging more but I believe that some venues charge if they have to open again. I have heard something like $50.00 which isn’t much but it is still money.

What would you do? How can I include this in our contract so that clients aren’t surprised about having to pay a fee to the venue.

What stipulations can I include in my contract to protect ourselves & how can I word it so that it is clear.

I have tried to get clients to put pressure on the venue to accomodate us but because they charge extra I lose everytime. I guess I’d have to charge more than the venue inorder for client to be willing to pay venue fee.

FYI: I would hands down put Contract work before Job & pray for the best.

Help me Graph These Equations!?

The Event Store sells invitations for various parties and special events. They charge a $35 setup charge, which includes your first 50 invitations. You will pay $0.75 for each invitation over the 50. The cost of invitations can be written as C = 35 + 0.75(g – 50) where g is the number of invitations you plan to buy.

The Special Occasion Store also sells invitations for various parties and special events. They charge a $45 setup charge, which includes your first 50 invitations. You will only pay $0.65 for each invitation over the 50. The cost of the invitations can be written as C = 45 + 0.65(g – 50) where g is the number of invitations you plan to buy.

I have been learning how to graph equations but this one looks different from the others.

I have to input my answers to Graphmatica a graphing software. I would appreciate if you could help me by simplifying this equation. My problem is when there is an additional charge for invitations over 50.

What are the answers to these functions? 10 pts!!!?

Ok I would LOVE if someone could do these functions for me.

Here they are:
C = 35 + 0.75(50 – 50)
C = 35 + 0.75(75 – 50)
C = 35 + 0.75(100 – 50)
C = 35 + 0.75(150 – 50)

C = 45 + 0.65(50 – 50)
C = 45 + 0.65(75 – 50)
C = 45 + 0.65(100 – 50)
C = 45 + 0.65(150- 50)

I am looking for the cost of the invitations, here is the explanations, kinda.

Does RIM Blackberry Internet Solution allow wireless syncing of calender events from Microsoft exchange?

I am looking to roll out Blackberry 8800 phone across my business. We have a hosted MS exchange server and are not looking to setup a Blackberry Enterprise Server, so are going to looking into the Blackberry Internet Solution (BIS). The different operators can not give me a definitive answer if BIS will wireless sync calender and contacts. Can anyone help?

We currently use Treo 650 handsets which sync email, calender and contacts wirelessly directly with MS exchange, so don’t really want to lose this functionality.

Is the execution of Saddam Hussein the final turning point?

How many turning points are possible before one realizes they are merely turning in circles?

I always thought the fall of Baghdad was the turning point…then I was enlightened to discover that the turning point was the setup of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA).

Or was the turning point the Iraqi election to elect a body to draft their constitution? Or was it the election to endorse the constitution? Or maybe it was the election that elected their assembly…or was it the selection of Jafari, err, I mean Al-Maliki as President. It all gets confusing after a while, because every event is touted as the turning point.

Or perhaps the turning point was when Dick Cheney declared the insurgency in its “last throes”. Or perhaps it was when the administration felt the killing of al-Zarqawi was the turning point.

Maybe I just don’t understand what comes after these “turning points”…
I think a lot of you are part of the “State of Denial”, aptly laid out by Bob Woodward in his best selling book. Whether you agree or disagree with this Administration, it is worth the read to find out how this Administration really operates. I found it frightening, perhaps you would have a different take on it…
And yet with all this supposed progress…more Americans and Iraqis will die this month than in previous months in more hostile attacks (now averaging 3,000/month).

Taylor Ranch in Fletcher, NC wedding prices?

I love the pictures of Taylor Rance but have not been able to visit it. They were very kind, but the event coordinator was out of town until Monday and we need to order invitations tomorrow. If I could know a ballpark price, I could wait for the venue, but I don’t want to wait until Monday for it to be too expensive or not what we are looking for.

We are on a limited budget, but like the idea of paying a little more for less work (setup and take down) so that my family isn’t stressed after the wedding!

What is the most outrageous thing you have witnessed live?

It can be anything from a sex act to an embarassing moment to a fist fight.

There were two things I can think of.

The first happened in college. I came home drunk and walked in on my roomate and his girlfriend having sex. I turned to close the door and she panted out, “Stay and watch us finish” It didn’t get any more involved than that and they ended up splitting 2 weeks later.

The second event was a jackass type setup where a guy pulled up to a gas station and there were loud bangs coming from the trunk. The attendant asked him what was going on and suddenly a bound and gagged man in only underwear popped out and started running down the street. We only realized it was a gag when the cameras popped out a minute later.

How do I find out if the UK Events company Concerto Group 02063425 is in trouble or going bankrupt?

I looked on companies house and they suffered a big loss of £169,947 in their 2010 accounts. It seems from reading a statement from Mike Kershaw, Chairman of The Concerto Group on an event blog in the event news that they are seeing another slow down in business again this year which would indicate further losses are going to be announced. “We are all too well aware that things have been tough in the events market for the past six months; we all know how hard every sale has been and how tight clients are getting on budgets”. http://community.eventmagazine.co.uk/forums/t/1771.aspx

It concerns me that such a big company that deals with so many events each year could possibly be heading into bigger financial trouble or even bankruptcy causing those who have given them money to lose it. Is there a way I can protect myself if I get them to organize an event for me or supply them with products?

Also what does it mean when they describe themselves as a £30 Million pound company. http://www.concertogroup.co.uk/ “The Concerto Group is one of the UK’s leading event services companies. A £30 million + business with seven offices and employing over 120 full time staff, the Group comprises of 16 brands that provide event management, venues, catering and event services”

How can a company that made £191,403 in 2009, made a loss of £169,947 in 2010 which nearly wipes out its 2009 profit, and further says that trading conditions are slowing further describe itself as a £30 Million+ company. Is this being done to mislead its clients? A company that has just submitted accounts saying that they have lost £169,947 and are now finding trading conditions difficult cannot be a a £30 Million+ company?

Marketing help?

I have an Event Management company that uses Event Management Students to help out and gain experience and points for their studies.

At the moment, there is very little marketing involved and I would really like to market it more.

The marketing is mainly internal: enrollments, open days, submissions of proposals to upcoming events and local colleges.

I use marketing materials, such as brochures, to try and spread the word. But I’m having issues trying to get the name branded.

Can you suggest any marketing activities I can use for the year to improve my business? And also how I can monitor it for effectiveness?

What is an average salary for a marketing manager at an exhibition (indoor and outdoor) agency in Shanghai?

exhibition agency means an agency that designs and builds physical space exhibits, booths, signs, displays, and even puts on live events sometimes. The salary range in the US for this job is from 75-110,000 USD/yr.
it’s a Taiwan company, but they advertised for experienced Americans and Europeans, so it’s hard to guess if they are treating it as a local hire or not.

p.s. i am in toronto canada

where are the jobs? and is anyone else feel like the economy is going to get alot worse?

i got a degree, like many others – almost useless
i got exp in the industry I want to work in ( 1 year professional paid and 2 year voluntary work).
The job markets been bad for well over a year now, my job has me on reduced hours like 16 a week to cut costs.

I spend about 2 days working a week usually weekends and look 20-35 hours a week for full time work and get around 15 applications done each week for anywhere in the UK. out of 150 applications in the last 2.5 months only had 2 interviews and alot of very strange job work offers (jobs that sounded very dodgy with no interview or contract or any face to face contact).

The job centre is like here work for FREE giving up your part time paid job to get MORE experience, i think three years exp is good enough to be considered a full time job in the industry I want (events/ logistics/ sport and leisure) or they say go back to university or take another course!

What the hell is going on? and remember in a 4 months time the 2010 graduate are out another 400 thousand competitors for jobs!

Time are not tough! they are F**king crazy with no end in sight! and all the high ranking business contacts I know don’t have a clue how to save their businesses or know what the solution is! and the gov is talking like the recession is yesterday!…economy may be growing but only due to the massive cut backs and job losses!

Im 23 years old and had no choice but to move back in with his parents, just to survive! Im looking for a career is that so much to ask?

Iv considered other careers but they are full already eg police fightfights NHS, RAF (my last resort)

anyone else feel pretty angry about this whole situation as we didnt cause it! but we have to suffer for someone else mistakes!?

How can I automatically update one page of my website with changes on another page?

Here is the setup:

I have a events.htm page with events listed in chronological order. Each event has a date and title with a following description.

I have a front page, index.html, that has a small sidebox that lists three of the upcoming events that will be happening the soonest. So far, I have been updating this sidebox manually.

However, I would like to know if there is a way to have this sidebox pull only the date and title of the first three events listed on the events.htm page and automatically update whenever update the events.htm page.

What is the name of the NBC Olympic theme PREVIEW song?

I’m not talking about the “Olympic Fanfare and Theme”, or “The Olympic Spirit”, or even “Bugler’s Dream”. This is one used distinctly by NBC, most often to setup the next days events. If you watched the opening ceremony tonight (just ended), from about 11:56-11:59PM this music played as they previewed tomorrow’s events, such as the cycling road race, and Phelps’ first swimming event. Any answers?? Thanks!
UPDATE: Not David Cook “The Time of My Life”. I know which one you’re talking about, that one came a bit after the one I am looking for. The song I am looking for is played by an orchestra and has no words, like the other well known Olympic songs.

What happens if a drive of my RAID 5 array fails?

I have an aging RAID 5 array (4 x 200 GB) in my file server and as its age increases I’m starting to worry that one of the drives will soon fail, especially since that system is on 24×7.

Although I built that setup exactly for the event where one of the drives would fail, I’m not familiar with how data would be restored.

So let’s imagine one of the drives in my array decides to die.

My first concern will be how to replace it. 200 GB drives have apparently become hard to find and all I’m finding on Newegg is 160 and 250 GB drives with nothing in-between.
Pursuant to that, would it be OK (with regards to the RAID 5 array) to replace the defunct 200 GB drive with a 250 GB drive?
What are the consequences of having a drive of a different size than the others in a RAID 5 setup, if any?

Once I have a replacement drive, I guess I’ll unplug the defunct drive, plug in the new drive, and boot the PC… and then what? Will my RAID controller prompt me to rebuild the array?

Thank you.
I appreciate the answers so far, but unless I’m missing something it appears that none of you have answered one of my main questions; allow me to restate it:

What happens if I cannot procure a drive of the same size, specs, etc., as the drives I already have?
I have 4×200 GB drives and, searching online, can only find 160 GB and 250 GB drives but no 200 GB drives.

Would it be OK to replace a dead 200 GB drive in my array with a 250 GB drive, technically speaking?
I don’t mind if 50 GB are wasted in the process, all I care about is that the array works after the replacement is made =p

The cost of invitations can be written as C = 35 + 0.75(g – 50) where g is the number of invitations you plan to buy.

The Special Occasion Store also sells invitations for various parties and special events. They charge a $45 setup charge, which includes your first 50 invitations.

How do I backup E-mails?

Hi
At work we have a large number of E-mails going back 2 years, these are quite important and I am concerned that if the computer crashes I will lose them (all other important data is being backed up daily).
How do I back up my emails and in the event of a crash then restore them to the new setup?

Many thanks in advance

James

The dinner for the basic package isn’t included, the other package they offer is for a larger venue and costs $6k but includes the same stuff pretty much.

The dinner I am looking at for the second listed venue is an entree, two sides, and a starch for $9-11/person and the drinks are separate. All she has are brown table linens to match my theme. Not really a lot of other decor and the place holds a max of 70 whereas the other holds more than 100. There are 108 on my guestlist.

My budget is $8k for the wedding (honeymoon not included) and I paid $880 for the dress, veil, and tiara. I’m getting cheaper shoes cause they are shoes haha, and the petticoat will be $50. I have the undergarments, I don’t need to wear theirs. Too much $$.

So what do you think?
Cake is typically $3 a slice, so I guess it will cost $270-$300. If you buy a cake with the first venue, the cutting fee is included.
First package $85 for outside gazebo, $275 for inside ceremony. Of course, outside is GORGEOUS! The white hanging drapery…
I like the first one. It might be a tad more, but it makes planning EASY! The cake and dinner are there, I have a friend who will DJ, so all I need is a photographer, flowers, and an officiant! The paper products are being done by a friend (all I need is the paper) and the favors I may not even do. Most of our guests are very close and would be happy with something small if we did favors.
Already said I have a DJ, and am doing paper products (invitations, place cards) on my own. I’m going to use a few more candles for the centerpieces, but really no more florals than what I have for my bouquets and cake.
I think because the first venue is priced for 100 people, and I will have 75-80 guests. Making it $4874 instead of $5114…
WHY do we need a limo? We’re not having a limo! Our bands are $500 together. His tux is FREE.

When I set my pc in sleeping mode it is woken up. Why?

I’v thought abt saving energy of my pc which was bought 2 years ago (Core 2 Duo 2,2 GHz). I’v read abt setting to S3 mode in BIOS Setup to hv good results of saving energy. Then I made trials on WinXP to switch my pc to sleep mode (S3). The problem is after short or longer time it is woken up n I don’t know why? I tried to make waking up events disabled in BIOS Setup, allowing only waking up on Any Key event. No results in WinXP. Is it something simple I can do or maybe to resign such saving energy? It looks like my HDD is stopped in S3, so I don’t know if it makes its life shorter when I use this function switching often?

Peace rallies, protests, gestures, gatherings, events etc…..?

I went to a concert a few years ago for world peace, it had a huge variety of famous artists and bands, U2, celine dion, the black eyed peas, sting, phil collins etc…..it was just a world peace concert to raise awareness, i also visitted family in Arizona and there was a giant ‘Peace’ hot air balloon gathering where like 70 balloons or so raised to the skies for obvious reasons, a plane flew by in the sky and wrote ‘PEACE’ in big letters with smoke…..these are just a few good examples of peace gatherings and such…..but what why question is, do you think they work?

I only ask this question because for about 9 out of every 10 people actually stop and look at these ‘PEACE’ messages and think about them, others just drive by and look at them and it doesnt even effect them or sink in in any way, almost like they were never even there. So, do you think that all these gatherings, concerts, protests and rallies are getting the point across? Do people even look at these protests and care? Do you think theyre actually breaking through and getting to people? Or are all these gatherings and rallies and such just a huge waste of time? I like to think not, i still have hope in humanity, though its hard to at times, and i admire those who setup peace events like these, i just wondered if these events actually get through to people and open peoples eyes, or if they’re just looked at as a thing to go to for fun……what do you think?

Okay, we’re probably going to change the date to a Sunday, is this a good budget?

$30 postage
$70 knife/cake serving set, flutes, guestbook (buying online)
$50 flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow
$2,500 honeymoon (not sure about this yet)

We may actually have more room to save now that we’re waiting a couple more weeks than planned. So does this look okay for a budget? Am I missing anything?
= $12,727.74

$249.74 over budget!
Janice are you high? $950 for a photographer is not bad? I did WORST case scenario here. Least amount saved, with the most I would pay towards each thing. I’m not saying we want to spend that much at all. It’s just a figure! I’m $250 over, but we have two more weeks to save now, and we might have raises or bonuses before that time. We might only spend $200 on flowers or $500 on a photographer. It’s just an estimate. I wanted to know if I left anything off? The honeymoon is big because we are going to an island. I keep hearing that I am spending too much on the reception and not enough on the honeymoon and now here is the opposite?! We are also staying in an upscale hotel in a large city the night of the wedding. Sooooo…
Oh! My friend is going to DJ, they are also setting the mood lights and colors to auto so we can enjoy something without having to pay $75.
Well some of the pricing I gave you I already had in the total. Sorry if I confused you. I’ve gone over it three times and I am not wrong there. I love the tips. I will definitely try to do as much myself. I am going to serve one glass per person for dinner (wine) great suggestion! I just need to find a white and red as an option maybe. Depends on the dinner I assume. Red is an aquired taste, but I enjoy it myself. As I said, this is just to get an idea. I’d love to spend less on each item. I just broke it down using my own judgement instead of percentages. They didn’t work for me considering the bulk of things is already included in the package. I am going to have a small rehearsal hopefully. Probably have my family make dinner since they are dying to make dinner for the wedding, they can do this instead and I would save a lot of money have it at someone’s home. Thanks again!
Oh and to the answerer about the postage, I’m assuming I live in a more expensive area than you. The only other place cheaper (and decent – ie not a living room in a house or a church) was $3,300 NOTHING included. Just to rent! I am not sure about attaching postage yet, but at any rate, my #’s include dates for each person and some are large families.

I’m not getting personalized M&Ms, no way. The tulle bags are maybe 20 cents each. I’m not filling them to the brim either. I want to offer something edible without hassle, but without overdoing it. I hear a lot of favors get left. I never noticed favors myself. A dinner with friends is enough for me and most the people I associate with feel the same.

Illuminati Conspiracy?

Do you believe that Illuminati exists?
If not how can the interview with bush regarding the skull and bones fit in to anything if there is no evil secret societies.
Why some singers mention illuminati in their lyrics?
Some victims of the 9/11 event said that was a setup coz they know what they saw but why the media didn’t mention anything about these victims claims?
The symbol of illuminati on the dollar note,why is it there in the first place?

Please hv an open mind guys. I need an explanation and your opinions.

Why am I getting the “The reminders, however, were not saved.” error ?

When I add an event, I select to add a reminder, but there is no drop down box to select the email address to send it to like there used to be. I now see that ALL reminders that I had setup a couple of months ago on past reminders are now gone. Is the issues with the New Yahoo! Calendar ?

Any good half-stacks for around 800-1300 US dollars?

So right now, my setup is a Music Man Albert Lee and Bogner Alchemist 112 Tube Amp right now, but I need something louder for live shows. I have played around 3 house parties, but I am competing in a Battle of The Bands event. I was looking for something good and loud. The style I play is Japandroids, Wavves, No Age, Smith Westerns, and similar artists. Any recommendations are good/

What events/activities should we do to make our school’s boring marketing club fun and informative?

The Marketing Club of Ateneo de Davao is so boooring… I was wondering of ways how we could improve the club with fun and informative events and activities. But I have no idea what to do. I am new to this kind of stuff so I really need help.

What ideas do you have for restaurant events that we do every week? I am at a loss. Need some new fresh ideas.?

How do businesses / corporations decide on which training programs to use?

I am doing a project for management consulting firm as part of my interview and I have no idea how businesses / corporations decide on which training programs to use, and how they get to know of such programs. I know a lot of it is by referral, but I am interested in finding out of there are trade shows and other kinds of event marketing that can work. Are there things like Human Resource conferences where HR professionals gather and a marketing event might be a viable form to reach out to them? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Local marketing tips?

I’m the events & marketing manager of a bar in central London and I’ve been told that a great promotion is waiting for me just around the corner, but I need to do one last stunt to prove my H.O. that I’ve got what it takes.
Any local markting ideas to promote our Thursday tribute nights?
We’ve tried everything I can think of sofar (flyering, myspace, e-mail out…)
thanks for the answer, but we’ve actually done all that.

what could that be?

Would this be a good marketing idea?

I had recently started my own photography business and want to get my name out a lot more than I have so far. Marketing is so expensive I can hardly afford it so I came up with a solution. Please let me know what you think….
The local news station’s have a community calender which I can place an event for free and it gets shown on the t.v channel a couple times a day as well as their website. I can also put an event in the newspaper free of charge as well.

So I was thinking of setting a date, time and location where I could set up all of my equipment and offer anyone a “free family photo session” and charge like $5 – $10 for the disk and to mail it to them. I wouldn’t make anyone money but I would get word of mouth and some free advertising.

I don’t have a studio but I am able to set up lighting and do portraits at our city’s stadium. Its very large inside and open to the public w/o admission costs everyday.

My fiancee says that its a very bad idea because it will attract the wrong kind of people. Well personally I don’t think there is any sort of set type of people for photos. Everyone in my opinion should be able to afford and receive high quality portraits. I am willing to risk an entire day of giving free photos just to get my name out there. I want people to know I am very good at what I do and I also want a name for myself.

What do you think is this a good or bad idea…? Any advice would be great!!

Thank you and Happy Holidays!!

considering dropping out of school?

Have you ever stopped to think..

about the effectiveness of our education system?

The only things that I have retained and find extremely important in all of my 14 YEARS of schooling is…reading/writing, and basic arithmetic.
Besides that I can’t recall anything of importance that I have learned and have taken with me throughout life.

In fact I have come to realize that the majority of the knowledge I find most important have not come from schooling but instead from real life and the internet.

Things like: Spirituality, values/morals, mental/physical health, importance of exercise, stretching, nutrition, and sleep; social skills, self-confidence, the mind-body connection, philosophy/free thinking, self-help and motivation, the power of mentality and thinking, politics, using modern technology, how technology helps and hinders us at the same time..

i could go on and on about what I have retained via real life experiences and the internet vs traditional schooling, but you see my point.

What I am trying to say is I can’t even recall or use the majority of what I supposedly memorized in school!

Think about it..isn’t learning supposed to be intriguing and fun? I mean don’t you love learning new skills, new ideas, new ways of thinking to improve your quality of life and further your understanding??

Then why in the hell do i dread school? Why is it such a daunting and stressful task?
Why has my mental and physical health declined because of it??

I’ll tell you what I think…it’s because schools are not employing the right techniques in order to successfully learn and retain information!
I mean when was the last time schools taught you effective ways to learn? You heard me…when have you been taught to learn how to learn?

In order to educate yourself effectively you must first know the basic learning skills such as note-taking, study habits, etc… I don’t recall this being mentioned even once throughout my 14 YEARS of education.

Also how many college classes are simply lecture halls where you are expected to memorize everything the instructor says? This is absolutely the wrong atmosphere to be learning!

There are numerous studies that prove by creating a friendly atmosphere involving active participation that student retention rates were up to 90% as compared to the average in lecture halls (5%). I mean learning is supposed to be fun and mind-expanding, you should learn by teaching others and by hands on participation.

Sometimes I seriously feel like a zombie just going through the motions, as I rarely see any teachers encourage you to actually think for yourselves

Anyways I am contemplating dropping out of school to further my education and opportunities as i feel schooling nowadays is simply a marketing strategy in which students only attend for a piece of paper (degree)

“To be educated, a person doesn’t have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life…
One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.”

“I have never let schooling interfere with my education.”

anyways let me know what you guys think…

Statistics Probability Problem?

I know it’s easier than I think but I’m rusty on the subject.

Your firm is considering the introduction of a new toothpaste. At a strategy session, it is agreed that a marketing study will be successful with probability 0.65. It is also agreed that the probability of a successful product launch is 0.40. However, given that the marketing study is successful, the probability of a successful product launch is 0.55.

a) draw the probability table for this situation
b) find the probability that the marketing study is successful and the product launch is successful
c) given that the product launch succeeds, find the conditional probability that the marketing study was favorable
d) find the conditional probability that the product launch is successful, given that the marketing study was not successful
e) are the 2 events “marketing study successful” and “product launch successful” independent? How do you know?

Any help is appreciated

What do you do to prepare for a trading event?

If you knew that the fed was going to cut interest rates, you would obviously act on the stocks that had been beat up the most by the lack of affordable liquidity. So you would have bought calls on those companies, mortgage bond insurers, subprime lenders, home builders, companies that would see a rosier future as a result of the reverse of poor possibilities for their products to be bought and defaulted on in the near future.

How far in advance of these trading moments would you have prepared that strategy? How are you preparing your next strategy to deal with the next upside or downside possible overall market or industry surprise?

When are people going to figure out that its not the lack of oil causing gas prices to soar Its just greed?

The combined profit for the two companies was close to $17 billion—$9.08 billion for Shell and $7.6 billion for BP. These figures include earnings attributed to the rise in oil prices. If this rise is factored out (as is done in the so-called current cost of supplies figures), Shell’s profits were $7.8 billion and BP’s were $6.6 billion. That is, at least $2 billion in profit for the two companies can be attributed solely to the recent rise in oil prices.

Analysts expect the profits for Exxon Mobil, the largest private energy company, to soar to $11.2 billion in the first quarter, an increase of 22 percent over 2007. If the company’s profits exceed expectations, however, it could beat its fourth quarter profits from 2007 of $11.66 billion—the record for a US company.

Of course, the top executives and investors will benefit enormously from these windfalls. Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson received an 18 percent raise in 2007, pulling in $21.7 million. The oil companies will also give back billions to investors in the form of stock buybacks and dividends.

The news from Shell and BP came as a surprise to analysts, who have been concerned about profit troubles in the refinery component of production, which transforms crude oil into useable products like gasoline and diesel. Giants like Shell and BP, and US companies Exxon and Chevron, are vertically integrated, including in their operations both oil extraction and refining.

While the Bush administration cites a lack of refineries for energy shortages, internal oil industry documents show that five years ago companies were looking for ways to cut refinery output to boost profits.

It takes about four years to build a large refinery so any substantial additional new capacity from new plants would have had to begin by the mid-1990s, energy experts acknowledge.

Internal documents from some of America’s biggest oil companies suggest higher prices at the pump may, in part, be a result of a deliberate strategy to limit domestic gasoline production,”These documents say point blank, look if you really want to boost your profits, you have to reduce refinery capacity,” said Sen. Wyden. “This industry went to great lengths to limit refinery capacity, control markets, restrict supply to boost their profits, increase costs to consumers, and then argue we should relax environmental laws.”
One Chevron memo warns the oil industry would never see higher profits, if it didn’t reduce the amount of gasoline being refined.

“If the U.S. petroleum industry doesn’t reduce its refining capacity, it will never see any substantial increase in refinery margins (profits),” said an internal Chevron document in November 1995.

The memo cited warnings given about refinery profits by a senior analyst from the American Petroleum Institute, the industry trade group, at an industry conference that year.

API spokesman Jim Craig said Thursday, “We don’t know about these alleged internal company memos, but the idea that the API would warn member companies on profits is ludicrous.”

A year later, an official at Texaco, in a memo marked “highly confidential,” called concerns about too much refinery capacty “the most critical factor” facing the refinery industry – resulting in “very poor refining financial results.”

The Texaco memo, written in March, 1996, concluded that “significant events” were required to deal with the excess refinery capacity problem and suggested one solution might be to get the government to lift clean air requirements for an oxygenate in gasoline. Removal of the additive would require more gasoline to be used in each gallon of fuel, tightening supplies.

Is it fair for fed. departments to give $grants to states/districts to help GOP candidates win elections?

Commerce, Treasury Funds Helped Boost GOP Campaigns
By Marisa Taylor and Kevin G. Hall
McClatchy Newspapers

Friday 17 August 2007

Washington – Top Commerce and Treasury Departments officials appeared with Republican candidates and doled out millions in federal money in battleground congressional districts and states after receiving White House political briefings detailing GOP election strategy.

Political appointees in the Treasury Department received at least 10 political briefings from July 2001 to August 2006, officials familiar with the meetings said. Their counterparts at the Commerce Department received at least four briefings – all in the election years of 2002, 2004 and 2006.

The House Oversight Committee is investigating whether the White House’s political briefings to at least 15 agencies, including to the Justice Department, the General Services Administration and the State Department, violated a ban on the use of government resources for campaign activities.

Under the Hatch Act, Cabinet members are permitted to attend political briefings and appear with members of Congress. But Cabinet members and other political appointees aren’t permitted to spend taxpayer money with the aim of benefiting candidates.

During the briefings at Treasury and Commerce, then-Bush administration political director Ken Mehlman and other White House aides detailed competitive congressional districts, battleground election states and key media markets and outlined GOP strategy for getting out the vote.

Commerce and Treasury political appointees later made numerous public appearances and grant announcements that often correlated with GOP interests, according to a review of the events by McClatchy Newspapers. The pattern raises the possibility that the events were arranged with the White House’s political guidance in mind.

Mortgage Debt to Income Questions/Advice?

My fiancee and I are getting married and we are selling both of our houses and moving into newly constructed one. Both existing houses are on the market right now, and my hope is that they will sell before the new home is finished.

In the event that they do not sell at the time I need to start securing financing on the new house… I am trying to figure out worst case scenario, and need to know what is the highest debt to income ratio a mortgage company will accept for a mortgage on a new home.

If neither house sells, and I carry 3 mortgages the debt to income ratio is 52%… if one sells…. I can get it down to about 43%…. can I get a mortgage with these debt to income ratios?

I am not worried about cash flow persay… because this should be a short term problem (whatever that means)… but I need to know what can I qualify a mortgage for.

Does any one have any suggestions on strategies for managing a situation like this?

What camera/camcorder will work best for recording dirt track racing events?

I work in IT and usually do very well with computers/electronics, but this one has me on the fence.

I am needing a camera or camcorder that is convenient and inexpensive, but that can capture outdoor racing events at a local circle dirt track. Sound quality is not an important factor for me, but I would like to have good detail, as this will be used primarily for reviewing the races and car setup. The main event is usually at night, so it is under the lights – which aren’t all that great.

I have a good computer and an HDTV, so that won’t be a factor. Since this is going to be exposed to the elements (specifically heat and dirt), I don’t want to spend much more than a couple hundred dollars on it if possible.

I used to use an $800+ camcorder, but don’t feel like sinking that much money into it again. This year I’ve used the video portion of my Koday EasyShare 6.1 MP, but that’s not quite good enough quaity (although handy for taking pre-race pictures). The Zi6 (Kodak), Flip, and Webbie (Sony) Camcorders have me intrigued, but are camcorders like those lacking too many features or quality?

Any suggestions for what might work for this situation will be greatly appreciated. Sample uploaded videos (YouTube, etc.) would be even better. Thanks!

Lost a bet to a girl- Now i have to wear HER “grill” while rapping. Is she giving me the sign I can go 4 kiss

I REALIZE THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE STUPIDEST QUESTIONS!!!!! BUT

Ok, so Im not dating this woman but after working together on the setup of a event (we are not coworkers) ALL day she mentioned she was going to eat. I asked if she wanted company, she said yes. We ate dinner, had a drink, then played darts…WHICH WE BETTED ON… and i lost…..SOMEHOW!! we were there for hours!!! Anyway, im having a party on sat where there will be karaoke. She chose the stakes if i lost – i chose if i won. She wants me to karaoke sing a rap song wearing HER fake diamond “grill”. (a mouth piece that covers the upper teeth with fake diamonds) She said she was going to fit it for me and everything..
Im doing it – as i dont go back on deals
Question is… since that involes a MOUTHPIECE being shared, the fact we had a dinner together, we flirted the whole time and we both had a great time.
ASSUMING IT FEELS RIGHT OF COURSE- Am i probably good to go for a kiss? Any feelings or suggestions??

Writers, how do you guys approach your chapters?

When writing a chapter, I normally decide on one exciting bit/interesting event that I want to cover. Each chapter is basically a short story in itself, revolving around this event. The chapter gets a beginning (the setup for the event), a middle (where the thing actually happens) and an end (where I wrap up the chapter, or cut it off to leave the reader hanging).

This is all to avoid waffling and just writing what comes to mind, because that tends to come out disorganized (with large chunks where nothing is happening, or where I’m struggling to steer the story toward where I want it to go).

I’m making all this sound realy long but I actually do it subconsciously. What about you guys? How do you do each chapter?

“Lets just be friends” After Cheating (long, PLEASE help.)?

I’m sorry for how long this is but please help; I don’t beg often but I need help and advice. Please. Please help me

I’m deeply afraid of hurting my love again and equally afraid of doing nothing. We have been together for a long time and spent almost 24/7 together from the moment we met. I knew what I had and we were both so happy.

I cheated on him about three months ago. We have been separate for six months so he could live with his parents and get a job so that we could get started there and get an apartment to stay together.

I was pretty much staying in my room the whole time back with my sorta-like-father. The town is too small and poor for there to be work; nearly everyone here is retired and the city pays our only grocery store with tax money to keep it from closing down. What jobs there are here–say our one gas station or fast food place–are held onto tight by people who have worked there for twenty years or more. Plus, with his grandmother it’s best I stay in my room.

Then I volunteered to help setup a renaissance event in the city north of here. I only planned to camp there the first night with others just setting up but after someone respectable offered me their shower each morning I decided to stay; fishing each morning was great after all. I hung out with older people as always and was having fun.

Until the day someone got me drunk. I ended up getting all mopey and sitting alone thinking of my love. I missed him terribly and drank more than ever (I had only drank twice before, and those times were with my love.) The guy who gave me the alcohol came over and offered to hold me for a while. Like an idiot I accepted; like an idiot I thought a hug would comfort me.

When he kissed me I kissed him back, and from there I started to freeze up. I’ve been raped many times and it’s always been better to freeze and wait. After kissing him all I could think about was that I was cheating. And I was – I kissed someone other than my love, and here I was in my tent thinking it would have been ok to be held by a stranger.

I was an idiot.

It went fast but I managed to unfreeze and stop it from getting to sex. The stranger was insistent but he didn’t intend to force himself on me, apologized, and left me.

I called my love the next morning and left a message. After a few days without a return call I wrote him a letter telling him how much I loved him and that I had cheated on him. I left out the details; exactly what happened wasn’t as important as that I had kissed someone else.

He left me.

Since then I sent him an email telling the details, one of begging, and one of just me trying to show him some love. Then after that I stopped contacting him for three months and stayed in my room here.

I called him last week just to say hi and see how everything was. I asked if I could call again and he said it would be ok. He was depressed and didn’t seam to be fully there inside. Two days later he texted me wanted to have text conversations as friends to build up to talking again– but he said that we can never be more than friends.

I love him so much. We never fought before or anything. I’m down to fifty dollars and have no income. I was completely dependent on him to get out of here.

More than anything I want to have a future with him.

What should I do in this situation?

Why does he want to be friends with someone who cheated on him?

(His last girlfriend cheated on him too, which as he said “there’s scars” making it hurt more that I poked them. All he ever did was make fun of her. So there is something different with us I just don’t know why or what’s going through his head.)

I’d ask him, but I’m afraid to ruin even this chance at friendship.

But on the same note if I stay here I risk being kicked out any time with just my tent and fifty dollars.

I want to get back with him but he said that can’t happen.
I have a diploma so I don’t know if the job corps are for me. But I’ll look into it.

And no, as much as I wish we were together still so I’d have a place, I don’t want him to get back with me because he pities my situation. It’s not just for a home. It’s for our love and happiness, so I understand that it has to be him who decides if we get together.

I still wonder about my other questions though above.
After looking into the job corps stuff I’ve decided it’ll work great. I can learn to be a chef which will help when I get back to college.

Thanks for that help but what do I do about my love? Just be friends?

Can I hope that it’ll be come more after I get into college again?

What is the quickest way on the internet I could find a companies earnings release and or report?

The purpose would be related to stock market investing. One involved with working for an investment firm, for instance, would want to know “better than expected earnings,” or a company releasing a “disappointing earnings report.” Could a business search engine be found, better than the rest, that would sort through multiple financial sites and information to be on top of the earnings release, or other significant event as soon as possible?

Marketing company questions?

So I applied for a job in a marketing agency.
I got the job offer and tomorrow is my “orientation.”
Basically they described that I will be going over what the company offers to customers and so on.

They also mentioned that it will be in class form.
I have to understand the company more by asking questions.
What questions do you think I can ask?
I know what they do and how they do it, but I was looking for more specific questions.

Here is a small company description:
Fake Marketing is a direct marketing agency that delivers flawlessly executed promotional programs and strategically designed sales campaigns.

They do ‘personal’ marketing by promoting products during events, in venues, and so on.

Questions would be appreciated!

i am performing at a dance concert type of event. Can someone help me with advisor issues?

I was extremely polite while e-mailing my advisor about my dance group performance. I however had to e-mail her three times, about song requests. She sounded annoyed the second time, but the third time was needed since the dance company I go to would sponsor it. It’s the only way the dance company would help my group out. So, I tried asking one of the other girls from my group to email her for the third request. She never got a response, so I emailed her in the nicest way assuring her that the company would extensively market the concert and it would benefit it. The truth is it would mean free costumes and things from my dance company. I can imagine how hard it must be for the advisor having to listen to me, since she probably has other troubles, but its necessary for my dance company. Otherwise, the dance performance is going to be expensive On the other hand, I may get kicked out of a secure spot in the concert to dance which I worked hard to get. I’m not sure what to do.
