Twin growth rate in third trimester?

So from what I understand the growth rate for twins slows down in the third trimester compared to singleton babies. So about how much weight a week will twins gain in the third trimester? My doctor said that I should expect to have 7+lb babies. When I had my last ultrasound at 33 weeks they were 5lbs 6oz and 5lbs 12oz. I would love for them to be 7+lbs! The healthier the better!! But I was searching for twin growth rate and couldnt find anything. Does anyone know what a twin is expected to gain in the last few weeks?



Twin growth rate in third trimester?

Well, the normal rate for singleton is about 1/2 a lb per week the in last month or so of pregnancy so... slower than that. How much slower, I don%26#039;t know...



My twins were born at 33 1/2 weeks weighing 5 1/2 lbs and 4 1/2 lbs. THey were quite healthy and didn%26#039;t need to be incubated and no need for feeding tubes. They only spent 10 days in the NICU.



You are so much further along then I was. If you clear 38 weeks, I doubt your babies would even need to go to the NICU.



If I were to guess, I would say your babies will be close to 7 lbs on the lower end.



GOod luck!



Twin growth rate in third trimester?

first of all congrats on the twins.. a twin blessing ..... and congrats on ur babies being over 5lb that is already healthy weight for twins at this time ..... ur babies will prob grow till round 6 lbs tho because they have litlle space now especially at 33 weeks .. good luck x

Whats the %rate?

Been ttc for 3mnts now, whats my chances or % rate this month of falling pregnant??? i know the % rate over a year of ttc is like 90%. Im doing everything right to get pregnant also, but it just hasnt happened yet, my first baby i fell pregnant first go, im due on the 10th so fingers crossed till then...



Whats the %rate?

The chances of conception each cycle are 20-25%.



Whats the %rate?

I know it%26#039;s kind of frustrating, but it is like playing cards. Your chances are the same every month, no matter how long you have been trying. The statistics are based on the fact that most people become pregnant within a year- year and a half. However, they don%26#039;t really impact the chances every month. I know how frustrated you are, I am in the same situation. I hope you get your BFP....sticky baby dust to you!!!



Whats the %rate?

This partly depends on age. In your 20s, the rate is around 25%, but this begins to slide at 30, and again at 35 to around 20%. After that it sometimes depends on your egg supply as to how often you%26#039;re ovulating. However, these rates are the average among women and there isn%26#039;t conclusive data about the odds if you%26#039;re 1. charting, 2. OPK or using a monitor, 3. checking CM etc. In other words, these percentages include everyone, and I suspect that if you%26#039;re checking fertility signs, the chances go up a lot.



Whats the %rate?

There is only a 25% chance that you will conceive in each cycle. It is considered normal for a healthy couple under 30 to take up to one year to conceive.



You were very lucky the first time.

Calculate the Rate of Change?

The amount of money a company has in the bank after t years is 180 +3t -t^2 thousand dollars.



(a) How much did the bank account increase during year 4? (Hint: Year 1 starts at t=0 and ends at t=1.)



(b) What was the average rate of increase of money in the account during year 4?



(thousands of dollars per year)



(c) What was the instantaneous rate of increase of money in the account at the start of each of the four quarters year 4?



(d) After how many years did the bank account run out of money?



Calculate the Rate of Change?

a) At the beginning of the fourth year, the account had 180 + 3(3) - (3)^2 thousand dollars in it - that%26#039;s 180 thousand dollars. At the end of the year it had 180 + 3(4) - (4)^2 thousand dollars in it - that%26#039;s 176. So the amount of money in the account increased by -4 thousand dollars that year (or decreased by 4 thousand dollars).



b) The amount went up by -4 thousand dollars during year 4. So unless I%26#039;m missing something the average rate of increase during year 4 was -4 thousand dollars per year.



c) You%26#039;d have to work that out using t=3.25, t=3.5, etc.



d) 180 + 3t - t^2 = 0, that%26#039;s a quadratic



rewrite it as t^2 - 3t - 180 = 0



factors of 180 that differ by 3: 15 and 12



(t + 12)(t - 15) = 0



t = 15 or -12 years



Negative years don%26#039;t make sense here, so the only possible answer is 15 years.



Hope that helps (and that it%26#039;s right!)

Resting heart rate...?

What is the ideal resting heart rate for a 48 year old male? My dad is athletic and works out and he has a resting heart rate of about 70. Is this good or average?



Resting heart rate...?

The normal heart rate for adults is 60 to 100 bmp. So 70 is quite good. Its good to be at the lower end of this range (barring any health disorders) because it means the cardiovascular system is in good order.



Resting heart rate...?

It sounds very reasonable...I%26#039;m older then your dad my weight is good, I%26#039;m a competitive natural body builder and my resting rate in in the low 60%26#039;s. He%26#039;s OK right where he is...

Slow heart rate?

I have a slow heart rate. it goes to about 50 bpm before I go to sleep, and my resting heart rate afer I sit a min or 2 is 60, always. When I exersize It RARELY goes over 140. Should I be concerned? I%26#039;m 5 10 and I%26#039;m wondering, since I just stopped growing, whether my body just needs to get used to my height. I am not too fat or skinny. I weigh 155 lb., and my doctor says I have a healthy body type. Is my heart excessively weak, or quite strong? should I just exersize harder? Lastly, I also have this thing where I stand up and my vision gets blurry for about a second.



Slow heart rate?

Lance Armstrong.



Basically think as your heart the mechanism to supply Oxygen to your body. your body%26#039;s natural way to deal with low O2 is to increase heart rate first, then breating. If your body does fine with a low HR, than that%26#039;s fine.



Look at Lance%26#039;s HR in this artical



%26quot;His heart is 30% larger than average; however, an enlarged heart is a common trait for many other athletes. He has a resting heart rate of 32-34 beats per minute with a max heart rate at 201 bpm.[%26quot;



Slow heart rate?

First if you had a problem your Dr. would tell you! The stronger your heart is the slower it tends to beat because it moves more blood with each beat than a weaker heart can. The blurry vision is caused by a momentary drop in blood pressure that occurs when you stand up which is very common.



Slow heart rate?

You are extremely lucky to have such a low heart rate and as long as your BLOOD PRESSURE is OK then there is nothing to worry about.



Blood pressure can affect vision and make you feel dizzy so have it checked out.



Slow heart rate?

Yea, your heart rate is increased/decreased to match the oxygen demand of the body. When you do strenuous exercise your heart rate goes up to meet that demand. While resting your heart can meet that demand at a rate less than %26quot;average%26quot; which is 60-100. Your heart is fine unless your doctor suggested something otherwise.



As for the dizziness, it is called orthostatic hypotention, or postural hypotention. Normally the body causes vessels to vasoconstrict with suddend drops in blood pressure, like when standing. This is a slight delay in the bodys response, causing you to become dizzy. It usually only happens when sitting or lying for long periods of time or when sick. This can be alleviated by sitting at the edge of the bed for a second before standing to give the body slightly more time to respond.



Slow heart rate?

You may have a heart complication.



Try see a cardiologist.



That might help.

Is a high heart rate dangerous during exercise?

22 male, 160 lbs. I heard the recommended 80% heart rate would be around 158 for my age, etc. however during sprints, I%26#039;m reaching 180. Is that bad? Should I lower the intensity? I%26#039;m really not even giving it my 100% because I%26#039;m a little scared whenever my heart rate is getting up that high.



Also, if anyone could give me advice on this routine I%26#039;ve been doing for the last two weeks, I%26#039;d appreciate it:



Monday: interval sprinting (20-25 mins; really high intensity)



Tuesday: moderate-light lifting, moderate jogging/running (whatever keeps my heart rate up to 80% max, 30 mins)



Wednesday: moderate jogging/running



Thursday: interval sprinting



Friday: moderate-light lifting, moderate jogging/running



Saturday: moderate jogging/running



Sunday: rest day



I%26#039;d estimate I%26#039;m breaking even on calories intake/outake. My goal really is just to improve my cardio and then begin strength training.

How do I measure the natural rate of unemployment?

I am trying to figure out Potential GDP, but for the purpose of that I need to calculate the GDP gap. I need to know how much is the cyclical unemployment. I have the unemployment rate, but I don%26#039;t know how to find the natural rate of unemployment. Does anybody know if it is a fixed rate or how to calculate it, having in mind I need it for a introductory course of macroeconomics. I have data for real GDP over time, unemployment rate and CPI. Thank you very much for the help.



How do I measure the natural rate of unemployment?

The natural rate of unemployment is not set. It fluctuates



in relation to the expected rate of inflation. Economists generally use 4% as the natural rate of unemployment.

Does any one know how to answer the following rate question?

A certain reaction has the following general form.



aA bB



At a particular temperature and [A]0 = 2.00 10-2 M, concentration versus time data were collected for this reaction, and a plot of ln[A] versus time resulted in a straight line with a slope value of -2.97 10-2 min-1.



(a) Determine the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of the rate constant for this reaction.



rate law



a. k[A]



b. k[A]2



c. k[A]3



d. k[B]



(b) integrated rate law



a. ln[A] = -kt - ln[A]0



b. ln[A] = -kt + ln(1/[A]0)



c. ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0



d. ln[A] = kt - ln[A]0



(c) rate constant in min-1



.



(d) Calculate the half-life for this reaction in min



(e) How much time is required for the concentration of A to decrease to 2.00 10-3 M?



in min



Does any one know how to answer the following rate question?

(a)



ln[A] is proportional to t: So you can relate [A] and t as:



ln[A] = k璺痶 + m



%26lt;=%26gt;



[A] = e^(k璺痶 + m)



(where k and m are arbitrary constants:



The rate law describes



-r = d[A]/dt



To find just take the derivative of equation above:



-r = d/dt{e^(k璺痶 + m)}



= k璺痚^(k璺痶 + m)



= k璺痆A]



answer a. is the correct one



(b)



d[A]/dt = -k璺痆A]



separate variables and integrate



%26lt;=%26gt;



1/[A] d[A] = - k dt



%26lt;=%26gt;



閳?1/[A] d[A] = - 閳?k dt



%26lt;=%26gt;



ln[A] = - k璺痶 + c



apply initial condition to find constant c



Apply initial condition



t = 0 閳?[A]=[A]閳р偓



%26lt;=%26gt;



ln[A]閳р偓 = - k璺? + c



%26lt;=%26gt;



c = ln[A]閳р偓



Hence:



ln[A] = - k璺痶 + ln[A]閳р偓



answer c. is correct



(c)



From the equation derived in(b) you see that the slope of the line representing ln[A] vs t is equal to - k. Hence:



k = 2.97鑴?0^-2min-1



(d)



Half life is the time elapsed till [A] has dropped to one half of its initial value:



Therefore



ln( [A]閳р偓/2) = - k璺痶1/2 + ln[A]閳р偓



%26lt;=%26gt;



t1/2 = ( ln[A]閳р偓 - ln( [A]閳р偓/2) ) / k



= ln{ [A]閳р偓/ ([A]閳р偓/2) } / k



= ln{2) / k



= ln{2) / 2.97鑴?0^-2min-1



= 23.34min



(e)



ln[A] = - k璺痶 + ln[A]閳р偓



%26lt;=%26gt;



k璺痶 = ln[A]閳р偓 - ln[A] k



%26lt;=%26gt;



t = ln( [A]閳р偓/ [A] ) / k



= ln( 2.0鑴?0^-2M/ 2.0鑴?0^-3M ) / 2.97鑴?0^-2min-1



= 77.53min

Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

I%26#039;m 17 year old female..... 5%26#039;5%26quot; and 170 lbs. I was at the pharmacy and did one of those blood pressure things and my blood pressure was in the low category but my resting heart rate was 91, the machine didn%26#039;t offer any information or charts about the resting heart rate but my boyfriends resting heart rate (He%26#039;s thinner then me) was 70. Looked around on google and found that anything above 80 could be dangerous? Should I go see a doctor about this? Or should a little excersize help me out?



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

It perfectly alright , but your weight is on higher side, cut it down.



Exercise can help you, and avoid junk food. Yes, talk to your doctor, he will guide you safely OK.



Not anything above 80 is dangerous, at your age and sex you are perfectly normal except for your weight.



Hope this help you out.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

mine is 108. and i am really dehydrated. dehydration causes a rise in pulse. drink water.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

nope, as I nurse I assure you a resting heart rate of 60 to 100 is the normal heart range.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

its okay. Some peoples are higher based on what they eat, how much they exercise. Athletes tend to have lower than normal heart rates, for instance. As long as its somewhere in the middle and not too high or too low- you%26#039;re fine.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

Mine is 233.



Im sure yours is fine.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

It really depends on the circumstances. A normal heart rate ranges anywhere from 60 to 90 beats and tends to fluctuate depending on outside factors like previous activity and stress levels. The heart rate you measured could be harmless as it%26#039;s just outside the normal limit. Tachycardia (an extremely rapid heartbeat) isn%26#039;t usually diagnosed until a heartbeat is consistently at 100 bpm. Chances are, you%26#039;re very much normal as long as you aren%26#039;t consistently measured over 90 bpm. Exercise could help lower it and if you%26#039;re worried, of course, see your doctor with any questions you might have.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

Your heart rate is fine.



The lower it is the fitter you are.



A little exercise and increasing your fitness will bring it down.



Im pretty fit and mines 62



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

Your heart rate is fine! You might have one that is on the high side of normal but that is not dangerous at all. And the blood pressure machines at the stores are not that accurate. Why don%26#039;t you take your own pulse. Find the pulse by the artery in your wrist on the side your thumb in on. You can take it for 15 seconds and time the amount you counted times 4 to get your pulse rate. A pulse of 90 is not bad. If you get a resting heart rate over 100 bpm I%26quot;d be concerned. And that usually means your thyroid could be working too hard.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

No your fine young people generally have higher pulse rates.If you were in your 40s it could be seen as a problem.



Just the act of having BP taken could cause faster heart rate.



Exercising more can%26#039;t do any harm.



Is a resting heart rate of 91 dangerous?

Normal resting heart beat is 60 to 100 per minute. If you are not active you will be on the higher end of these numbers. Ask your doctor to be sure

Can somebody explain integrated rate laws in chemical kinetics???

I am having extreme difficulty understanding the steps one must take in order to find the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the rate constant for a given reaction. PLEASE HELP!!!



Can somebody explain integrated rate laws in chemical kinetics???

Chemical Kinetics



Integrated Rate Laws



Concepts:



The differential rate law describes how the rate of reaction varies with the concentrations of various species, usually reactants, in the system. The rate of reaction is proportional to the rates of change in concentrations of the reactants and products; that is, the rate is proportional to a derivative of a concentration.

Standard mileage rate for nanny?

I am a nanny and use my own car during the week to drive the children to and from activities, lessons, and playgroups. In the past I have not been reimbursed for the cost of gas. The family felt bad that I could not write off the mileage in my taxes and have now offered to do so. They have offered to give me $10-15/week. Should I accept this or suggest using the standard mileage rate (which I believe is 48.5 cents per mile) I feel using the standard rate is more fair especially with these ever changing gas prices! What do you think?



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

10-15 dollars/week covers 20-30 miles of driving.



If you%26#039;re driving more than that, you should be paid more. The IRS increased the mileage allowance for 2008 to 50.5 cents/ mile ( see below ). If your employer is not willing to reimburse you for the miles you drive, suggest they purchase a vehicle to allow you to transport their children. This way, it%26#039;s fair. They absorb the cost of child care for their children and you%26#039;re not forced to accept less than you%26#039;re entitled to receive.



Why can%26#039;t you claim the miles? This is a standard deduction and everyone%26#039;s entitled to it. You can always record miles and claim the cost as a business expense. If they insist they won%26#039;t pay you more than $15 a week (cheap-azz dirty bustids), deduct the money they give you from your mileage expense and claim the rest. Talk to the IRS, they will give you free advice on filing.



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

Considering the price of fuel, the wear on YOUR vehicle, I would say that using the standard rate would be more than fair. Obviously, that would be the most amicable approach for both parties. If you weren%26#039;t doing all the driving, they would have to do it, or pay someone else even more. The mileage you are putting on your car is depreciating it%26#039;s value, and also speeds up your need for maintenance (oil changes, tires, etc.)...by using the standard rate, both parties can be satisfied.



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

If you can get the standard mileage rate I would recommend it, however even companies don%26#039;t necessarily pay at that rate. I expense my miles to Chrysler and only get paid .42 a mile. I guess it really depends on how many miles you average a week and how bad you need the extra cash. Good luck!



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

I%26#039;d go for the standard rate, that way you are covered.



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

The %26quot;standard%26quot; rate is set by the IRS for business deductions. Very few employers actually pay that rate. It depends on the car you are driving.



Standard mileage rate for nanny?

I%26#039;m also a nanny. I get paid a per kilometer (canadian) rate of $0.50.

Does your resting heart rate always change ?

My heart rate sometimes is like 58, but today (now) as I am on my computer comming home from work my heart rate is 80( I worked today 10 hours and I was standing up building stuff that takes alot of energy)...so does your resting heart rate always change?



Does your resting heart rate always change ?

Your resting heart rate is not taken immediately after a day of stressful heavy work. take it the first thing in the morning after you wake up. and I suggest you slow down with a cold drink before you do anything else strenuous.



Does your resting heart rate always change ?

The answer is that it can - but that is a huge jump there.



Does your resting heart rate always change ?

Yes.Don%26#039;t work long time.It would be a little bit better.

Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second???

Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/30 inch per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Since the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.



Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second???

1/30 inch/day = (1/30)*(2.54e-2 (m))/(24*60*60 (s))



= 2.54/(3*2.4*6*6) * e-6 (m/s)



= 9.8e-9 (m/s) = 9.8 (nm/s)

Buying down an interest rate?

How low can you a rate can you buy down (discount points) your mortgage to? In theory cant you buy down the rate to like 1-3% if you have enough $$ to do so? Or do lenders have a %26quot;magic%26quot; rate that they dont go below?



Buying down an interest rate?

You have to crunch the numbers to see what works for you. If you have the money to buy down the interest, you may be better off putting more money down. It often doesn%26#039;t make sense to pay money to borrow money even if it brings the cost down. Of course you could prepay all the interest if you wanted, but if that were the case you could just pay cash for the property.



Buying down an interest rate?

just make sure you are able to afford to pay interest rate on mortgage. i think you can talk with your landlord or broker about how low interest rate can you get on your mortgage.



Buying down an interest rate?

when you pay points on a mortgage to lower your interest rate, you are in effect prepaying the interest. you%26#039;ll probably pay $1,000 for every lowered point and in the long run, it doesn%26#039;t make that much difference. I would never pay points to lower an interest rate because the numbers don%26#039;t work in your favor.

For a first order reaction the rate R = N?

so the ratio of rates at two different times is given by R(t1)/R(t2) = N(t1)/N(t2).



For nuclear decay the rate is ofen is expressed in units of counts per unit of time.



A chemists determines that a sample of petrified wood is 3.50 X 103 years old. What is the rate of decay, in counts per minute per gram, of carbon-14 in the sample? The decay rate of carbon-14 in wood today is 13.6 counts per minute per gram, and the half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.



For a first order reaction the rate R = 鈭択 N?

Since radioactive decay is a first order reaction, use the equation:



ln(N/No)= -kt (you%26#039;re looking for N since No is already given as 13.6.)



First, find the decay constant : 0.693/(half-life of C-14)



0.693/5730=



1.20942E-4



Next, multiply the decay constant (negative as stated by first order reaction equation) by the age of the tree:



-(1.20942E-4)(3500)=



-.4232984293



Now you are left with:



ln(N/13.6) = -.4232984293



Negate the natural log by %26quot;e-ing%26quot; it:



e^(ln (N/13.6) = e^(-.4232984293)

My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

my download rate for any site is very low ive tryed these things



1.delete internet files



2.delete cookies



3.download acceleratior



4.spyware,malewar,antivirus scans



5.get rid of old downloads



6.getting old memory back



can some one help this download rate realy annoys me



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

you might need to upgrade your plans speed.



You do that by contact your ISP and talking to them about it. It will cost more money for the internet plan though.



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

are you on dial-up connection? cable connection? dsl connection?



if you%26#039;re on dial-up - downloading through that is always slow



you%26#039;re better off to splurge on going to dsl or cable



how many programs do you have running? and are any running in the %26quot;background%26quot; - to check this - click Start - Run - a window should pop up - in there type in



msconfig



then click OK



once the system config utilities window opens - click on the startup tab and see what items are running



uncheck the ones you don%26#039;t want running



always leave the microsoft system stuff running and your antivirus items running



other items such as messengers, imaging programs, music download programs don%26#039;t need to be in that list



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

Get your computer fix at Best Buy first ask the price is good fixed and If is not buy a NEW one.



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

the download speed is determined by what your isp deal is and also what it is you are trying to download. You don%26#039;t say who your isp is and you can log onto a speedtester site by googling speed test. this will tell you the speed at which your pc is downloading and by comparing it to what your isp tells you you should be getting if there is a great difference then that would be the time to (a) talk to your ISP or (b) taking drastic action with your PC



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

Get ride of spyware, stop programs running in the backround or on start-up. Go to run, then msconfig, go to startup, see whats running. Also,Make sure you dont have a virus. Website Accelerators DO NOT WORK. If anything, GO Broadband, It has changed my internet life. I run at 920Kbps Pretty fast, trust me it will change the way you use and look at the internet.



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

It%26#039;s easy, just stop letting people download from You.



My download rate is still too low.. ive tryed everything?

By adding a new D-WORD value to the windows registry you can increase the maximum number of connections that IE can make. Note: this involves modification of the registry, be sure to back up the current registry file!



The registry keys to be changed are:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\W... Settings



HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft... Settings



Add the following D-WORD values:



max connections value=6 (select decimal for the number)



MaxConnectionsPerl_OServer=6



Now Internet Explorer will load 6 files at the same time instead of the default 2. This tweek will work best with high speed connections (Cable, DSL, T-1).

Psychotherapy: success rate?

What is the success rate of clinical psychotherapy? Is there a way to measure the sucess, or change in patient behavior in systematic way?



What are the success rates for extreme cases like schizophrenia, pedophilia, and OCD?



Psychotherapy: success rate?

In a well-known analysis of psychotherapy outcomes, researchers found that 80% of therapy clients were better off than those who had no treatment. Outcome studies assess the person%26#039;s functioning using psychological tests before and after treatment to compare changes.



The most effective treatment for schizophrenia at present is anti-psychotic medication, although psychotherapy can help prevent relapses and assist the person in acquiring living skills that may have deteriorated during the course of their disorder.



Very little research has been done on treatments for pedophilia, although there is a therapy called covert sensitization which looks promising, even though it has not been carefully evaluated.



I went to a talk by a psychologist who specializes in treating OCD with behavior therapy and he said that 70% of clients experience major improvement in their symptoms, 20% have minor improvement, and 10% no improvement.



Psychotherapy: success rate?

Psychotherapy does practically nothing for schizophrenia but it can work wonders on OCD. Actually, for OCD, behavior modification therapy works best. Psychotherapy actually doesn%26#039;t help people a whole lot more than having a good friend to talk to. Behavior modification therapy combined with drugs is usually the best formula for even the most severe mental illness.



Psychotherapy: success rate?

They have a saying in 12-step recovery that applies to psychotherapy as well:



%26quot;It works if you work it.%26quot;



I think that success is hard to measure since everyone has a different idea of sane and normal. My opinion is that therapy and counseling are far more beneficial that psychiatrists who just write scripts all day.



Medications (psychotropes) have been very damaging in my life. I have lost 3 friends to suicide - all of which were on prescriptions for psychological drugs... I also know people who have recovered from depression and ADD and other disorders without any medications at all.



But alas, I have no facts and figures to give you, just an opinion.



Psychotherapy: success rate?

psychotherapy sucks .It hasn%26#039;t been proven to work on any mental problem.You talk they listen but are they interpreting what you say the way you meant it?Or are they remembering what they read in a book and labeling it that way?

How to calculate or measure transfer/download/upload rate? (programming)?

I have a question, how do i measure the bandwidth (i`m not sure if this is the right term) as if download rate, upload rate or kbps transfer rate.



Can i do my windows application of my own to calculate this? transfer rate..?



e.g.: i want to measure whats the kbps transfer rate if i download or upload file form a server. How do I program this?



i need to know the steps(send a request for a file to the server.. how do i do this?), algorithm, right?



How to calculate or measure transfer/download/upload rate? (programming)?

you can use Visual basic to create simple program to measure UL and DL rate of the connection. for a sample, you can try Net Meter. you may download it on download.com.



take a look of what net meter can do. using free scripts available for free on the net, you can design the program using visual basic.



you can measure it even by using older programming tools.

Screen Refresh Rate Question...?

To start I%26#039;m sorry for the noob question but...



I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9359. I%26#039;ve enjoyed it for the month I%26#039;ve had it however I%26#039;ve discovered a problem. The screen%26#039;s refresh rate is currently limited to 59 hertz. Many games on the market require at least 60 hertz to play. There are no other options available to switch it higher and the Toshiba web site does not have an updated driver for the NVIDIA庐 GeForce庐 8700M GT card.



My question specifically is: Is the refresh rate limited to the laptop%26#039;s screen hardware or is it controlled by the driver written for the video card? .... or both?



Thanks in advance...



Screen Refresh Rate Question...?

I doubt that your monitor is really running at 59hz even though it is saying that. Most likely is that it is incorrectly saying 59hz when it is really running at 60hz.



On LCD monitors the refresh rate is always 60hz. You cannot go higher or lower as the monitor will not allow it. To go higher than 60hz you would have to use a NON LCD monitor (aka CRT monitor).



You can call Toshiba to ask why it is saying 59hz instead of 60hz, but I assure you that it is running at 60hz as it does with all LCD monitors on all of the personal computers throughout the world.



Screen Refresh Rate Question...?

Refresh rate really onlly refers to CRT monitors. Laptops use LCDs which dont%26#039; have a refresh rate. Yes, I know, the driver talks about one - it%26#039;s interpolated.



Now... are you saying the games refuse to run or are you making assumptions?

What mortgage rate & terms can I expect with 0 down and excellent credit?

I see this question over and over again on Answers when you have poor credit... what about with excellent credit?



I want a credit check with my loan... I want the best possible rate!



What kind rate of could I expect and where/who should I go to?



Which would cost me less in the long run, 0% down or a 20/80?



What mortgage rate %26amp; terms can I expect with 0 down and excellent credit?

I can do either the 80/20 or 100% with PMI, they price out very similar, it would depend on your financial profile.



I can do 5.875 100% with PMI.



January 14, 2008



http://WeFixRates.Com



What mortgage rate %26amp; terms can I expect with 0 down and excellent credit?

Depends on the price of the home and the loan amount. Rates vary day to day and are dependent on a few variables like income documentation, reserves, etc. Try your bank if your going to put money down, that%26#039;s more than likely where you will obtain the lowest rate. Good Luck



What mortgage rate %26amp; terms can I expect with 0 down and excellent credit?

Assuming you do not want to pay points,



Conventional: 5.875%



VA: 5.625%



Those were rates as of today. If you%26#039;re doing Conventional, it%26#039;s cheaper in the long run to do a 100% loan paying PMI vs. an 80/20. This is so because eventually the PMI will go away, whereas the higher rate 2nd mortgage won%26#039;t go away until its paid off. Also, through 2010 (for now anway) PMI is 100% tax deductible if you make less than $100,000 per year.



Be careful though when shopping lenders, don%26#039;t just shop for the lowest rate, shop the fees also. One lender may quote you a lower rate but be charging you more in fees to get it. Also, get everything in writing! Best way to compare apples to apples is by getting a Good Faith Estimate, which disclosures the terms, rate and fees.



What mortgage rate %26amp; terms can I expect with 0 down and excellent credit?

Right now, you are unlikely to find a 0% down loan, even with excellent credit. Unfortunately this is a side effect of the recent subprime credit crisis which also affects consumers with excellent credit. It is related to the falling home values and banks can%26#039;t trust the home value to be stable therefore they will be unlikely to loan if you aren%26#039;t able to put money down to secure the loan.



To find a loan you can call a mortgage broker that can run your credit once and give you quotes from several different mortgage companies, or you can go to a local bank directly. You are likely to get a slight discount and favorable terms with a bank you already do business with but I would still expect them to require a down payment in today%26#039;s housing market.

GDP growth rate question?

In Ireland, the growth rate of real GDP per person averaged 10 percent a year during the 1990s. If this growth rate were to continue, in what year would real GDP per person be twice what it was in 2000?

USING THE RULE OF 72. IF THERE IS A 10% GROWTH RATE IT WILL TAKE 7.2 YEARS FOR THE GDP RATE TO DOUBLE. HOWEVER I AM UNSURE WHAT I AM UNSURE OF WHAT EXACTLY YOU ARE ASKING FOR...... I HOPE THIS HELPS.

What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

My mum said I can start babysitting soon, she said at first it can be free but I would need to make a reasonable rate sooner or later. If you%26#039;ve done babysitting before please give me a reasonable rate, or if you have a reasonable rate please let me know.



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH STUFF YOU COULD EAT AT THEIR HOME



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

Five bucks every hour...



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

4



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

well age? have u done a class(people pay more if u know CPR etc...)



I say 5$-7$ and 2$ more per extra child?



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

$20 to 50 per hr



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

when i babysat it was 5$ an hour.. but some people might give you more depending on how many children. I would say 3$ per child is fair. Kids can be unruly sometimes. Especially when mom and dad are gone.



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

I%26#039;d say about $5 an hour.



If the people ask what you charge-say it doesn%26#039;t matter-they usually will give u btw. 5-10 dollars for 1 hr, and will respect that you arent pushy and are flexible :)



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

a dollar a hour



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

It depends on how long youve been babysitting, what youre trained in ((first aid, cpr, etc)) and the number of children!



Here is a link that I have used in the past



http://www.sittercity.com/rate_calculato...



its a rate calculator for how much you should charge per hour!!



Good luck!!



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

Minimum wage. it is a job.



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

I watch 3 month old twins and I make 10 bucks an hour but it also depnds on how much experience you have



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

It really depends on your age, experience and if you have taken any classes. I think $5 an hr is good to start. As you gain more experience, then you can begin to raise it. If you take a CPR class then $7 an hr would be reasonable...oh, another factor is the area you live in. I live in Los Angeles and I would be paying a lot more than that for a sitter...it%26#039;s not unreasonable to pay $10-12 an hr here.



What is a reasonable rate for babysitting?

I charge $3.50 an hour for the first child and $2.50 each extra kid. It also helps if you get certified both for babysitting and in CPR. The Red Cross does the CPR class. A local hospital should do the babysitting class. I have found the parents trust you a lot more with it. The only down side to the CPR class is it is not a one time thing and it cost every time!!!! but it is worth it. The babysitting class on the other hand is a one time thing and i don%26#039;t think it cost. If it does it was REALLY cheap like $5.00.

Reason for rate of growth of world population is decreasing?

explain why the rate of growth rate has changed since a peak of 2.3%% in 1963, to projected values of about 0.5% around 2040



Reason for rate of growth of world population is decreasing?

Because people stopped having large families in most countries. There have been UN and government programs to reduce the birth rates, the most extreme was China%26#039;s one child policy, but these programs to not really account for the whole decrease. European population growth rates dropped over a hundred years ago, and they have policies that encourage bigger families, and the US had a sudden drop in the birth rate about 1970, neither of which were due to population control programs. Reducing infant mortality rates and providing more opportunities for women reduce the birth rates, and I suspect that the feeling of being crowded also has an effect.

Mass Flow Rate Question?

A Solution containing 25gNaCl/100g of water was added @ a steady rate of 50kg/min into a flowing stream n %26amp; the NaCl conc. changed from 3.5% w/w upstream to 4.0% w/w downstream.



how do u calculate the mass flow rate from the above question... i tried and i keep gettin a negative answer



Mass Flow Rate Question?

25 gNACL/100g mean .25 mass ratio.



So the rate of NaCl (by mass) is 50kg*.25= 12.5 kg/min



That is the Sodium rate injected into the stream.



Now if you mean that the stream already had



3.5% NaCl and by injecting that 12.5 kg/min



you now get a stream with 4% NaCl



Then the ratio 12.5 kg/min = X kg/min * .5%



so X = 12.5/.005 = 2500 kg/min is the flow rate of the



rest of the stream.



and so 2500 kg/min * .035 = 87.5 kg/min original NaCl rate



So the total mass flow rate for NaCl is



87.5 + 12.5 = 100 kg/min NaCl flow rate (downstream)

Electrostatic / Heart Rate ??

I seem to be more electrostatic, i don%26#039;t know why.



What causes a person to be more electrostatic?



Like i%26#039;ve been getting little shocks from plants, and metals, and people...



Could being electrostatic affect the heart rate?



Since electric compulsions control the rate a heart pumps.



Electrostatic / Heart Rate ??

Friction and low humidity are the two main causes of electrostatic shock.



Electricity is static (as in it is unchanging) - you are the moving part. Therefore, you are not getting shocked from items, but rather you are the one doing the shocking. Do you drag your feet on your carpet? Are your clothes often static-y? What kind of soles do you have on your shoes? Leg hair can especially attract ions. You are somehow irritating and increasing the build-up of ions and are releasing them when you touch items. It is usually best to touch metal items as they disable the charge and it is painless to you.



It would take quite a large amount of electrostatic shock to effect the heart rate (think of %26#039;heart-shocking%26quot;, like when a patient in an ER has lost their heart rate and they are %26#039;shocked%26#039; with pads). Not enough passes when you %26#039;get%26#039; shocked to effect your heart rate.



To try to decrease or rid the amount of electro-shock you are experiencing, you could a) put a humidifier in your home, b) mix water and fabric softener into a bottle and spray on your carpet and clothing, c) try to be aware of dragging your feet while walking through the house and d) test your shoes. Rubber materials that create a lot of friction with cotton/fur/other synthetic materials can build up the electric charge that you are holding.



Hope this helps.

Has the discount window rate always been higher than the fed funds rate?

Has the rate charged by the Fed at the discount window always been higher than the Fed Funds rate or is this something that they changed in the last couple of decades?



Has the discount window rate always been higher than the fed funds rate?

No. The discount rate is what banks pay when borrowing from the Fed. This is higher then the fed funds rate (which is the rate that banks lend to eachother) when the fed has been in tightening mode. Look at 2001 in the attached source

Pokemon Diamond Rate my team plzz...?

Seriously, legendaries are not good and most competitive battles does not allow them. You might as well get use to life and start lvling something more worthwhile. The only thing i can say about this team as you have not posed the nature, EV spread and the moveset it is very difficult to rate. You should really repost the question with the details mentioned above. Anyways I can only see 1 big as prob. YOu are gonna get pwned, owned and beaten to crap completely by 1 pokemon: Weavile. If you think about it weavile can take all your pokemon down in pretty much 1 hit except for palkia and even so with a focus sash it can take it down. A typical sneasel has ice punch, brick break, night slash and aerial ace/sword dance (yea with focus sash and 1 sword dance your palkia is definitely gonna faint presuming the guy EV trained and bread IVs correctly). If you think, ice punch covers latias, dragonite, garchomp and sceptile. That is already 4 out of 6. Empoleon is taken care of by brick break and palkia would probably die after 2 hits. Another problem is that you have not got any type of walls what so ever. Wtf are u gonna do if a gyardos comes in and dragon dances. Obviously you are gonna get stuffed and won%26#039;t b able to stop it from taking out your entire team. If you like your starters, dragons and legendaries so much I suggest you seriously reconsider your team. You should use a more variety of types and definitely include either 1 mixed wall or 1 sp wall and 1 physical wall. If I were you I will drop the empoleon for another pokemon as you already have got palkia. Put a skarmory in its place and drop latias for a blissey or a sp wall. Consider changing garchomp or dragonite for a completely different type, probably something that covers ice. Sceptile is a pretty decent pokemon imho and it should b fine as a competitive battler.



At the moment I rate it 3/10 because of the legendaries, having no walls/stallers/annoyers/tanks and the fact that 1 gyarados with ice fang will probably sweep your entire team with dragon dance.



Pokemon Diamond Rate my team plzz...?

Competitive:



I send out Weavile! Ice Punch on Latias-KO!!



Dragonite?-pshaw-weavile with ice shard/punch



sceptile:ice shard



empoleon: brick break from weavile



Garchomp; Ice shard/punch



Palkia-not weak



WEAVILE WEAK!!!!!!!and even more, palkia is uber, so most will not like you for using it. ANd dont bother training all your Pokemon to lv 100, just EV train them. In wifi, you can choose lv 100 as a choice on a wifi battle. SInce its so weak to a standard Weavile...I give it a..............40%.......i advise you to get rid of sceptile and palkia. And maybe Empoleon. Replace em with skarmbliss(skarmory and blisssey=walls). If empoleons not a physical sweeper-(uses physical moves), then replace it with a physical sweeper, its your choice which

Target Heart Rate: Weight Loss vs. Endurance?

If you're trying to lose weight, would staying in the target heart heart rate range for weight loss make you lose it faster? Or is it just a guideline for a minimum target heart rate?



I%26#039;m trying to lose weight, and I%26#039;m never in the weight loss range when I workout (always in endurance and sometimes go over the endurance by a few points). Just curious if this makes a difference at all.



Thanks!



Target Heart Rate: Weight Loss vs. Endurance?

When you work out in lower heart rate %26quot;zones%26quot;, you use different forms of energy. Working out slower uses fat as your primary fuel source. At higher intensities, it uses glycogen.



Overall, it might make a tiny difference, but burning any calories are good calories - your body will stop generating fat if it has to replayce the glycogen.



Generally, working out for any extended period of time will help with your weight loss goals - and if you can stay in the endurance zone for a long enough workout, then you%26#039;ll be just fine.



I%26#039;ve been running lately in the %26quot;endurance and above%26quot; (I use a hr monitor without those classifications), and I%26#039;ve still managed to drop 15 pounds quite quickly - so my faster pace hasn%26#039;t affected anything for me!

Slow transfer rate?

any download program is just a wait, it wont increase your download speed at all. i had the same problem with my sbc before. try refreshing the modem and router (if your useing a router) by shutting it off/taking out the power plug, for a few mins. if that does not work contact sbc, they might be able to diagnose the problem from their end.

Should I lock my rate now or wait?

I am in the process of buying a home in Oklahoma with an expected close date of Jan 31, 2008. My lender is working on the final approval and I have been told we should be able to lock our rate very soon. My good faith estimate currently is 6.059% on 30 year loan with $900 mortgage origination fee. My lender has said that because I am self-employed that this is a very good rate. My question is should we wait till the last minute to lock or lock now? It looks like the trend is downward on interest rates the past several months with a few bumps upward occasionally so I am hesitant to lock too soon. What should I do?



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

You didn%26#039;t say how much your loan was for. Usually the mortgage origination fee is equal to 1% of the loan. Anything more is high, anything less is low, but usually means that you pay a bit higher interest rate.



There are no 6.059% rates. I%26#039;m guessing this is the APR, which IS NOT your interest rate, but the rate plus the cost to borrow the money. Your actually rate should be a bit lower.



Even if the rate was 6.059%, this is a GREAT RATE for a self-employeed borrower.



I WOULD LOCK IN TODAY. You say that you are to close in less then 3 weeks, but still can%26#039;t lock in surprises me. Usually you can lock in 30 days before settlement. And in MOST cases 60 days without a lock in fee.



Rates are great today. Will the go down in 3 week enough to actually make it worth the risk of waiting. NO.



Could rates go up. YES. God knows what bad news is in the works. When the news of the subprime problem came out several months ago, rates jump anywhere from 1 to 2%.



Lock in today and be able to sleep at night.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

It is a gamble. I like sure things.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

With news from the Fed%26#039;s that the rate will be dropped, I wouldn%26#039;t lock my rate.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

With only three weeks out, I would go for the lock now. Even if it falls a little bit, it will not have a dramatic effect.



The federal reserve rates generally don%26#039;t have a direct correlation to Mortgage rates, so even if they get cut again, you may not see a change within three weeks. If you were looking at a couple of months, I would tell you to hold, but not on your time span.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

LOCK the rate, NOW.



or be physical able to walk out at signing because u get a bigger rate.



a bird in hand is worth three in the bush.



mortgage rate adjust up/down on bases of mortgage companies not FEDs



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

US Bond yields, which are a major driver of mortgage rates, are currently at a 3 year low. I would lock as soon as you are able.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

I would ask you, what is your tolerance of risk.



How much can you save if the rate goes down and how much extra will it cost each month (%26amp; over time) if the rate goes up?



Is the possibility of %26#039;saving%26#039; worth the risk of costing?



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

You origination fee is very high but the 6.059% on a 30 year(fix I hope)would be fine. I%26#039;m surprised that the rate isn%26#039;t locked already because when a lender doesn%26#039;t want to lock a rate it is usually because they know it will go up. Plus with two weeks to go that is a very long time for a lender who is looking to sell your loan so that they make money on the deal. The RED FLAG is the origination fee which should only be $300 at the most since the originator only finds someone and collects minimal information from the start. The other work is what they do everyday so that is why I question that particular fee.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

I would lock now. Rates have been very low this week so I wouldn%26#039;t pass that up. Just an FYI - your lender shouldn%26#039;t be telling you that you get this rate even though you are self employed. I have never heard of rates based on employment status. Also, the origination fee charged on a loan is generally 1% (are you paying for other costs besides the appraisal such as credit report, flood cert or courier fee etc?). I don%26#039;t know what your GFE looks like but $900 doesn%26#039;t seem unreasonable and with the rate so low your lender probably isn%26#039;t making anything on the back (at least they wouldn%26#039;t be if they locked off my rate sheet today) so that is why you are being charged an origination fee. Lock your loan! Congrats on the new house as well.



Should I lock my rate now or wait?

i woulda locked yesterday, your broker is gambling and hoping to only get a 15 day lock so he gets a higher commission is what it sounds like to me. i%26#039;d do it to, nothing wrong with it. but if rates get worse make sure it comes out of HIS pocket and not yours for not locking.



in regular guy terms-



the bank will pay him a certain percentage for selling you that loan at that rate. if rates get worse, he can still get that rate, it will just not pay him as much. so make sure he%26#039;s not upping your rate to make sure he still gets that comission. and who the heck does 6.059 for a rate........ thats interesting,

When reimbursing using the standard milage rate can you reimburse gas too?

I know the IRS standard milage rate is 48.5 cents per mile for 2007. What I%26#039;m wondering is if I can also reimburse the cost of gas in addition to paying the standard milage rate. E.g, someone drives 100 miles in their own vehicle and spends $22 for gas. Can I reimburse them for the miles in addition to the $22 for gas or does using the standard milage rate not allow this? I read somewhere that gas was not deductible when using the standard milage rate but I was uncertain about the source. If you have a definitive answer I would like to hear it. Thanks.



When reimbursing using the standard milage rate can you reimburse gas too?

No you cannot.



The standard milage rate of $0.485 includes all operating costs including gasoline.



You can either use the standard deduction which is generous and easy; or you can detail all of your costs, spend hours doing so, and save little if any money.

How to improve frap rate World of Warcraft?

I just bought a new computer which is installed with Vista Home Premium. Considering on my old xp computer the frap rate got to the maximum of 6fps and the minimum of 2fps i was expecting this new computer to be much better. It has better memory, better speed and better everything. But after WoW was installed and ready, i went into the game and looked at how smooth it was. Terrible! Frap rate was still down in the teens. Not reaching as low as it used to be but still 14 or 16fps. I have played WoW on another vista computer which has the same spec, and the frap rate was 60!! Please .. If anyone has any answers of how to make the fraprate higher and performance better then please help. Also i find it very hard to go into battlegrounds as i cannot see what is going on and end up getting killed. Thanks!!

Normal heart rate working out?

I was using a tread mill at the gym last month, anyways so i quit smoking for a while and was working out a lot...i wasn%26#039;t drinking for at least a month and no drugs. When I was using the treadmill it had a heart rate monitor on the machine when your hands touch, so it was a pretty new machine..my heart rate hit a steady 200-210 and I wasn%26#039;t out of breath, is that good or bad or normal idk? maybe you could clarify that for me =) is my heart overworking or something it seemed a bit high but it was accurate as far as I know...I%26#039;m a think flexible athletic guy and in shape and was when I was doing it. I can swim across a lake and back and not get out of breath I don%26#039;t understand... whats normal???



Normal heart rate working out?

When anything like that bothers you, you have to see your doctor. It is better to be safe than sorry, and only a professional can be trusted with your health. Make an appointment.



Normal heart rate working out?

It depends on how long you were working out before it hit that, I have Tachycardia (a racy heart), so my heart rate is SUPER fast, I%26#039;ve had a few surgeries for it and some other heart conditions I have, but it never helped. I%26#039;m not sure about your normal rate range when you%26#039;re working out though, it depends on the person, it%26#039;s dangerous when your heart beats irregularly, but if it%26#039;s just fast, and it doesn%26#039;t affect your life, then it should be okay. My rate has gotten past 200 just at a sitting rate, and the doctors acted like it wasn%26#039;t a big deal except for the fact that I was always out of breath and tight chested.



Normal heart rate working out?

I used to do that a lot in college. It would go for an hour run at 190 and sometimes it would spike to 210. At age 26 it settled down to 160-170. with spikes to 180. Doctor says everything is ok with my heart. Just be sure to warm up for 5 mins before running at that rate.

Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Thanks to my friend pecker wabbit and his insightful remarks he has brought me to a very sad statictic.



It apperars that canadinas have one of the highest suicide rates in the world in all age groups. It is much higher than the American suicide rate.



So my question is what is soooooooo bad about canada to cause this alarming stat to rise every year?



http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_su...



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Canada%26#039;s suicide rate is only slightly higher than the USA%26#039;s and the catagories of who are the highest suicide victims are almost identical in both countries. Study your own stats and you will see the same results as ours. I would also like to point out that in some years when the suicides stats were compiled that only seven states were included in those stats. In 2003 ,your stats showed 3,603 suicides with 7 states being included in the study, however when 6 more states were added to those 7 in 2004 your stats jumped to 7,379 suicides for the year.( and you have how many more states than that ) If you researched your information before you spoke you would find that Canada is far from having the highest suicide rate in the world.



Check out this website. .http://www.aneki.com/suicidehtml... Do you see Canada on the list? Why are we committing suicide you ask at such an alarming (lol) rate you ask?.



If you study the stats in the following website you will find that Canada does not experience any horrible lifestyle or bad living conditions that would contribute to suicides any more than the USA . http://www.aneki.com/lists.html... I know you don%26#039;t like to spend time doing your research so I%26#039;ll break a bit of it down for you to save you some time. Maybe a comparison of the two countries will make you realize how unfounded and misguided your source of information is. Because some of the main reasons for suicide is depression, fears , terminal illnesses, and the feeling of hopelessness brought on by unbearable living conditions and quality of life, lets examine some of those issues.



Canada ranks 3rd in the world for quality of life whereas USA is 6th so it can%26#039;t be because life just sucks here. Canada is 3rd for cleanliness in the world, the USA is 11th. Canada Has a life expectancy of 79.96 years, USA 77.43 years so it%26#039;s not because we fear an early death from other things. Calgary is rated as the cleanest city in the world with Ottawa ranking 4th, ( Not bad when you consider we only have about 12 major cities in the whole country.) and Vancouver is ranked third best city in the world for quality of life, whereas the the only US city that made the cut for cleanliness was Honolulu in 2nd place so it can%26#039;t be that we are forced to live in filth and dispair. In 2003 only .03 percent of Canadians had aides (56,000 with 1,500 deaths), the USA had .06 percent (950,000 with 14,000 deaths.) so it can%26#039;t be because we fear dying of aides. Canada ranks 9th in the world for highest life expectency, US is not on the top 20 list so it can%26#039;t be that we fear dying at a young age any ways. Canada is the one of the cheapest countries to live in of the developed nations, the US is the 13th most expensive so it can%26#039;t be that we can%26#039;t afford to pay our bills or eat. Incidently Canada ranks as the 2nd cheapest country to visit ( just to clear up your on going remarks about how expensive it is to visit here.) I would think by those stats that it should be obvious that we are not suffering in any way that would contribute to the suicide rate any more than the USA. It would appear that your country is struggling to find answers to the rise in suicides just as ours is. Our country has actually experienced a drop in gun related suicides since the gun legislation was passed. I know it can%26#039;t be because of fear of violence or being killed, because the USA holds #1 spot out of the 27 highest industrial and highest income countries in the world for murders. No Zwigger I%26#039;m sorry to disappoint you but life is pretty good in Canada and we don%26#039;t have any more suicide related problems than your country does and we aren%26#039;t all standing in line to blow our brains out. Your country on the other hand IS experiencing an increase in suicides.

Note: This was not meant as a insult to Americans but rather to educate Zwigger about our country. Four of my siblings are American.



Edit: Your stats are from late 1990%26#039;s..a little out of date and you only supplied stats for one age group. When you add the stats for ALL age groups per capita there is only a difference of .9 % between the two countries. ( less than 1 % )



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Would you want to live in Canada?



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Simply because Canada kinda sux...........



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

It may be the result of our having higher buildings to jump from, that no one has knocked down? Just a guess. I fail to see the relevency of asking this in Canada travel section, unless you are worried about being hit by falling people, which can occur anywhere.



Edit: Good answer to a question that was posted in the wrong area, Peta. I%26#039;d thought about the Aboriginal issue, but discounted it due to population, but it would add to the total per capita.



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

actually wigger,



the higher suicide rate (although not much higher than the US national average) can be attributed to two things: a higher aboriginal population and the longer winters and shorter days of the high north.. both factors having been studied thouroughly, with northern aboriginals statistically having a much higher suicide rate that the rest of the nation.



Interestingly, this trend can also be seen in the USA%26#039;s only north-of-60 state with a high aboriginal population..Alaska, where the suicide rate is double the national US average.



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

The statistics that I read show that only 1.3 people per 100,000 more in Canada commit suicide than in the US. Not much difference, and there are 3 countries where the suicide rate is higher than either Canada or US. I have lived in both countries and the %26quot;causes%26quot; of suicide are so similar that the importance of the statistics should not be generalized or exaggerated!



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

cuz canada is not really the best place to be happy.



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Maybe there%26#039;s a rumour going around that you%26#039;re coming for a visit...??



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

Maybe these people prefer to kill themselves than listen to you? Or they%26#039;re scared americans will attack them in their sleep on false acounts of terrorism?



Just food for thought.



Why is canadas suicide rate so alarmingly high?

As usual, you don%26#039;t know what you are talking about.



One can only wonder what happened to make you so phobic about Canada that you have to slam it every chance you get, even when you have to make up statistics to do so.

The male condom failure rate?

So my sources (planned parenthood) tell me that with typical use, the condom fails 14% of the time. Is this implying that if you have sex 100 times, 14 out of those you%26#039;ll get pregnant. I know the statistics don%26#039;t apply to everyone, though.



And, Planned Parenthood says that spermicide foams/jellies/films have a failure rate of 26%. So spermicide+condom failure rate = .14 X .26 = 3.64% chance of failure. Is that correct math? Would that be what I need to multiply to find the failure rate of condoms + spermicides?



The male condom failure rate?

The math is wrong, and the failure rates aren%26#039;t that simple.



During a year of typical condom use, 14 out of 100 women will become pregnant. During a year of perfect condom use, that number drops to 3 out of 100 women becoming pregnant. Just for the record, 21 percent (typical use) and 5 percent (perfect use) of women who use the Reality female condom experience an unintended pregnancy within the first year of use.



When trying to understand the effectiveness of condoms and other forms of contraception, it is helpful to know the definitions of %26quot;perfect use%26quot; and %26quot;typical use.%26quot; %26quot;Perfect use%26quot; means that a form of birth control is used consistently and correctly all of the time. %26quot;Typical use%26quot; means it is used inconsistently or incorrectly some of the time and consistently and correctly other times.



When using spermicide and condoms TOGETHER, if used correctly, it would only make sense that the failure rate would go down, not up. Your math would make it 364%, not 3.64



EDIT: Lube with a condom is NOT a bad idea as the poster after me has stated. Using a condom with WATERBASED lubricant is a GOOD IDEA. (Just don%26#039;t use oilbased or anything that would disrupt the integrity of the condom -- CHECK THE LUBE LABEL) It will eliminate friction and friction causes condoms to BREAK which would obviously increase the risk of pregnancy exponentially...



The male condom failure rate?

Not sure on the math part, but here are a few good tips - don%26#039;t buy %26quot;cheap%26quot; condoms. (meaning don%26#039;t buy them from somewhere questionable, and if you don%26#039;t recognize the manufacturer, it may also be a bad idea). Most condoms come in a form with spermicide already in it, which makes for less mess. The only sure-fire way not to get pregnant is absenance, but if you%26#039;re not up for that, spermicide + condoms is a good equation. Good luck!



The male condom failure rate?

I think the only way to know for sure is to have sex 100 times and see if you end up with 14 babies.



The male condom failure rate?

to be honest if u mix those too, ur failure rate increases. Because spermcide can also act as a lube in some cases, and lube with a condom is a really bad idea...



The male condom failure rate?

Looks like the math is correct. The statistic that is more correct 100% of the time is using no protection at all. So, foams, jellies, spermiicide and snow tires all perform very well. Not taking the condom off correctly is also cause for worry. Make sure you remove and no mistakes -- OK.. What happened to the pill??? No sex is 100% protection--OK

is higher refreshment is better of 60Hz is ok?



Thankyou very much



Monitor refreshment rate problem?please help?

A higher refresh rate, between 70 and 85, is better than 60, but your monitor or video card might not support that. In Windows, you can try increasing the rate (Display Properties %26gt; Settings %26gt; Advanced %26gt; Monitor panel), and if the screen goes black or the display is messed up, that means it%26#039;s not supported. Just wait a minute and Windows will return to the previous setting, and you can try a lower rate.



Monitor refreshment rate problem?please help?

right click desktop....select properties....select settings.....click advanced......select monitor....make sure the %26quot;hide modes that this monitor cannot display is checked....(tick mark in the little box) that should do it automatically for you

How Would Rate 1) President Nixon 2) President Kennedy 3) President Ford?

9th August would mark 32 years of Nixon%26#039;s Resignation and Ford%26#039;s Ascendancy.



I have long admired Kennedy but I have a soft spot for Nixon. As for Ford, he was a great stabiliser in a difficult era. Perhaps he isn%26#039;t rated for his leadership, but his very qualities of honesty and decency, were pivotal in bringing honour back to the Oval Office.



How would rate/compare or view them? In terms of leadership, personality, character and their mark on the country, world stage and Presidency.



How Would Rate 1) President Nixon 2) President Kennedy 3) President Ford?

Ford did not hurt this country, he just fell down a few times(physically). Kennedy knew low taxes increase gov%26#039;t revenue. Nixon started the dialogue that brought about the influx of junk merchandise from communist red china. He admitted his biggest mistake: halting the bombing of North Vietnam....



How Would Rate 1) President Nixon 2) President Kennedy 3) President Ford?

Kennedy, Ford, Nixon.
