Do you think there is any link to prophesy and what's happening in the world? ATLANTA – Stock market slides may hurt more than your savings. New research suggests they might prompt heart attacks. Duke University researchers found a link between how a key stock index performed and how many heart attacks were treated at their North Carolina hospital shortly after the recession began in December 2007 through July 2009, when signs of recovery emerged. The trend weakened after they did a second analysis taking into account seasons of the year. Some research suggests heart attacks are more common in winter, meaning the initial finding could have been a statistical fluke. However, leading scientists unconnected with the work said they found it plausible and worth further research in a nationwide study. "I do think there's merit to their first-round conclusion," said Dr. James McClurken of Temple University in Philadelphia. He is chairman of the American College of Cardiology's annual conference, where the study results were released Saturday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_med_stocks_heart_attacks Seems to fit the prophesy: Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Mom Throws Unwanted Newborn Into Lake PontchartrainPosted on February 11th, 2009 by Jan Barrett in Louisiana News, Society and CultureRead 971 times.What does one do when they have a one night stand with a guy and then nine months later gives birth to a baby girl that you definitely do not want? Well normally I would think one would just sign the baby over for adoption. Unfortunately 21 year old Cara Craig of Metairie, Louisiana found herself in this position but she didn’t give the baby up for adoption. Instead she took the baby which by the way still had the umbilical cord attached to it, and tossed her into Lake Pontchartrain so she could hide her pregnancy from her parents. Craig has been charged with first degree murder even though the results of an autopsy report has not come in yet, according to Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway. “The girl admitted that it was her child,” said Caraway, “that she gave birth to the child; that the child was moving when she gave birth, the legs were moving, she felt a heartbeat. As she prepared to throw the child into the water or place the child in the water as she said, she had her hand on the baby’s chest and could feel the heart beating at that time. That’s why she’s been charged with first degree.” http://www.bloggernews.net/119708 The above seems to fit the prophesy below. There is no natural affection. People are killing family members at a record rate and children seem to be victimized the most. Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, implacable, unmerciful: Romans 1:30-32 (in Context) Romans 1 (Whole Chapter) 2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, TRUCEBREAKERS, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, The verses below are like reading the newspapers: Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24:6-8 (in Context) Matthew 24 (Whole Chapter) Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:7-9 (in Context) Mark 13 (Whole Chapter) Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:10-12 (in Context) Luke 21 (Whole Chapter) Results from Gospel.com Everyone says that every generation thinks they're the last, but we've never had the ability to completely annihilate ourselves before. We could go to war with each other, but not totally wipe the entire planet clean. It's like it's hanging in the air. Like something is going to happen. People don't want to accept that something catastrophic could actually happen. That's also scriptural: Matthew 24:36-40 (King James Version) 36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Everyone is just going about their business, not thinking about where they may spend eternity. I was just curious. Don't blast me, I'm just thinking about it and decided to see what everyone else thought. What natural law of the universe would that be? Excuse me what fundamental law would that be?

Is the quantum world a possible explanation for man's free will? Elsewhere and earlier I asked about man being a puppet of God the puppeteer because He made man and operates man, but there is a problem in that scenario: [quote] God is the puppeteer and we humans are His puppets: He made us, and keeps us in existence, and in operation with His own kind of 'strings.' The problem is then free will on our part, how do we reconcile our supposedly free will with our situation as puppets? No answer from my part, and I call that a mystery at least for myself. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110123163404AA4CmUD [unquote] From stock reading on quantum mechanics I have come across thinkers who see that the quantum world can be an explanation for free will in man. So, addressing knowledgeable people here: Can you -- and please do -- explain how the quantum world can be an explanation of man's free will, so that even though God is the creator puppeteer of man His created and operated puppet, nonetheless man is not thereby bereft of free free and thus not dispensed from having to answer to God for every act he does on his free choice. Please try to explain in plain simple English, I believe that is possible for people who truly know what is the quantum world on the one hand, while on the other hand, everyone knows what is free will who is living in a society governed by law and government.

Are there any sinister religious group-cliques manipulating the public to install a world sinister government? Honorable leaders can you help get a needed positive peace slogan going globally?

Investigate for World Peace! Many times an enemy will act as a friend so to fool us into following them. Religion has influence over leaders and subjects alike and many holy wars in one form or another going on some where in the world. And many teach God is only on their side but is he? If not why the war? Is there a world con going on with religious cliques manipulating the leaders and subjects too? Might they own stock in war machine weapons? Could they be putting on a show of being peacekeepers but not really zealous to stop the fighting, because too much income made by keeping wars and fighting going? If that bad influence is real, will peace and security ever really come? Reason on that just a little please! If you investigate and come to know that is a sound fact might the nations of the United Nations give power to the U.N. not to outlaw religion but outlaw their sinister influence over the leaders and their subjects? Stop the world sinister church influence over state leaders globally! If we want a peaceful future should we not want to see if there is a sinister cause for the prize of peace being so elusive?

Why does the UK export so many embarrassing people? What is going on? Everywhere I look, the UK (an island that used to be proud and great) is exporting the most shameful and cringe-worthy people across the globe. We have the pathetic, grovelling weasel Blair as a 'leader' who does whatever he is told and never fails to lick the boots of people who control him while making the UK look like a subservient state who bow down to the US.. We have Westwood 'repping the UK' on Radio 1 with his hideously embarrassing attempts to be a gangster even though he looks like someone's Dad. (see my other question about HIM : http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnyeaV4dcRHqSkpufwTjeVggBgx.?qid=20070206143759AAJ4VIO) We have Jade Goody, a fat slob chav celebrity. Jamie Oliver, Hugh Grant.. it goes on, and on... Exactly what the **** is going on? Is there one big conspiracy going on to make the UK the laughing stock of the world? Why can we not export anyone remotely respectable? What must the rest of the world think of us? Sorry I think that link should be: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aohqb9wxaa2mPDdQmwHnvbVJBgx.?qid=20070206143759AAJ4VIO Manchoi - yeah good point, Patrick Stewart is pretty cool.. for an old man.

Maybe British car enthusiasts will do what the rest of the world car enthusiasts didn't :( help ..? Hi .. I've posted this before and didn't recieve any answers, so I thought I'll try my luck in YAHOO UK .. Always thought Brits have more petrol heads relatively than any other nation .. and to my luck, they usually know what they're talking about .. So here's the deal .. I would like to ask what modifications will I need to do for a 1uzfe to be fitted in a 1979 round-eyed cressy .. ? Stuff like engine mounts, transmission housing, firewall or engine bay modifications, etc. Also, if any of these modifications/parts can be bought from the internet (engine mounts for instance). I'm kind of hoping I can swap the engine and the entire drive train - Transmission and Differential, from a Lexus LS400 with minimal modifications, since it's my first project, and I'm not really all that experienced .. Actually I have no experience whatsoever hehe .. If you can point me out to any websites, books, or anything that can walk me through the entire process in details I'll be more than grateful, I'm especially worried about all the wiring and all the outside-the-engine accessories - AC, Steering, Hoses and pipes and stuff :(, Coz I have NO IDEA how ANY of these work or attach to one another and to the engine or the car :( I'll put my soul and my heart into this, so don't worry about how much I need to read or learn or go through difficult stuff, just point me towards the source and I'll spend the rest of my life deciphering it !! Another thing .. will the original manifold fit ? if not, is there any after market or already made custom solutions ? Or will I have to let someone around fabricate something, which I'm not sure my region has any :( One last thing .. I had to go with the original Transmission and Differential simply because with my level of experties, there's no way I am capable of doing all the modding needed to mate any other transmission to this engine. However I'm not planning on going stock, so can the original Transmission and Differential take up to at least 400+ HP ? Oh oh, and I'm actually planning on fitting a paddle shifting transmission control, are there any good ones out there that you know of ? and how responsive are these things ? I really need all the help you can throw my way .. I'm sorry if something I said didn't make sense I'm a complete newbie, and my English sucks :( Also, if you think you can contribute more maybe you can hop in my other post regarding the same project: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkBL5.FxHOvp2Dw940z_Znrty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100821161535AALBwo3 Many many thanks in advance .. a 1UZ-FE is a V8 from a 1995 Lexus LS400, and a round-eyed-Cressy is an 1979 RX30 Toyota Cressida I'm sorry I thought they were as popular there :( and yes boy boy, I'm kinda getting there too with this being a bit of a long shot for me .. looks like I'll give up :(

so we have to keep social security because? what would happen if you had put your money in enron? that is one out of how many world wide stocks. and you cant seem to think about bonds, 401ks and the likes. they dont just fall out like the couple of freak businesses. you would rather throw money at a loosing proposition because there is a 1 in 1000000000 chance you might loose it? Im sure glad your not my accountant. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlAOy_o0Yq06R6O7tpJVL0Psy6IX?qid=20061201183447AAwKJaU

Do you agree the economy can bounce back? Listen to what's happening... we have people telling us to "Hurry up and buy gold" or "better watch out for your investments if you have more than 100K" or "forget 401K and social security"... and so on... then at the same time, you see everyone in a panic and running from the stock market and the world stock markets follow suit and it just gets worse amd worse.... Today we see this headline (I'll include a couple of excerpts)... Dow finishes below 10,000 for first time since '04 ...The market's paper loss at the day's lows came to $1.1 trillion, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which tracks 5,000 U.S.-based companies' stocks. That compares with a loss of about $1.5 trillion last week; that was the worst weekly return since the week after trading resumed following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks... ...The market "is displaying one of its worst traits with a herd mentality, and investors have an appetite for feeding on fear," said Anthony Sabino, a professor of law and business at St. John's University... But he cautioned it was still not a nightmare scenario... "Most certainly, this is not the Great Depression of the 1930s, but (is like) the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s -- and we bailed them out," he said. "Once people catch their breath, they'll see this is the proper analogy and this will breathe life back into banking institutions." http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/081006/wall_street.html Well then... wouldn't it seem logical that if we stopped panicking, we would be fine? Stop telling people to jump ship, and maybe people will realize, they don't need to, which would be a good thing. Our economy can bounce back if we keep it together. Lets not tip the boat shall we. Thanks. ... To the first two of you who answered. First of all, thanks... but you're supporting my argument... Both of you, like doctors, are advising others to take a course of action that will only lead to making this situation worse... it's a snow ball effect if you will. Why do you not instead of sharing these little packets of wisdom, these little attempts to incite a panic... instead encourage others to do the only hing that can be done to prevent the market from collapsing any further? INVEST! No? Then please explain to me why not and how you think that will play out better in the end othewise, please. I see only one way out of this, and it is up. But everyone has to be on board. It's fear and only fear driving the world stock markets down. If you or anyone reading this is contributing to this, please stop. I mean... do we want this to get worse or better here?

The chapter demonstrates the various ways that managers and investors use financial statements. The following? The chapter demonstrates the various ways that managers and investors use financial statements. The following cyberproblem addresses the financial statement analysis of Brady Corporation. Use the company's website at http://www.bradycorp.com to navigate through this cyberproblem. Brady Corporation is a leader in identification, safety, and material solutions. In 1998, the firm was hit hard by faltering foreign markets, so it embarked upon an aggressive campaign to redesign its cost structure. The firm believes this will help it to enhance future stockholder value. Brady follows the concept of Shareholder Value Enhancement (SVE), which is improved through increased sales, cost control, and effective use and control of assets. a.Review Brady Corporation's Consolidated Statements of Income. Its 2001 annual report is found at http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/nys/brc/reports/2001AR/index.html. Calculate and interpret Brady's gross margin (Net Sales-Cost of Goods Sold)/Net Sales) for the years 1999, 2000, and 2001. What conclusions, if any, can you draw from analyzing these gross margins? 1999- $260,564, $2000-291,224, $200--$302,579. During 1999 and 2000 they have made a big margin increase. In the year 2000 to 2001 they did not make as much money that they did the other year. The margin was lower then $12,000. b.Continuing on Brady's consolidated statements of income. Calculate and interpret net profit margin for the years 1999, 2000, and 2001. Note: Net profit margin = (Net Income/Net Sales). On Brady's Income Statement, calculate Brady's TIE ratio for 1999, 2000, and 2001 and interpret your results. c.Looking at Brady's Balance Sheets for the 2000 and 2001, calculate the current ratio and comment on any changes in Brady's liquidity position. d.Using both the income statements and balance sheets, calculate Brady's total assets turnover for 2000 and 2001, and interpret your results. e.Now, turn your attention to the "2001 Highlights", which can be found on the first page of the annual report. How are the company's sales divided between business segments and by region? f.Based upon the distribution of the company's sales, what sort of world economic factors might the company be subject to? g.Go to http://finance.yahoo.com and obtain a quote for the Brady Corporation (you may need to use the Symbol lookup) and look at the company's "Profile". Then, on the menu on the left click on “Basic Chart”. How has the company's stock performed over the last 52 weeks? Check the S & P box above the chart and click “compare”. How has the stock performed relative to the S&P 500 over the last 52 weeks?

A loonie is now worth more than an American dollar - What is going on and why ? Fri Sep 28, 11:31 AM By Malcolm Morrison , The Canadian Press TORONTO - The Toronto stock market was little changed late Friday morning with investors disinclined to do much on the final day of third quarter trading, while the Canadian dollar jumped about half a U.S. cent, beyond parity with the greenback, despite weaker than expected economic growth in July. New York markets were in the red as investors tread cautiously ahead of the start of third quarter earnings reports while data pointed to strong consumer spending activity last month. Toronto's S&P/TSX composite index moved down 7.86 points to 14,121.87. The loonie was up 0.50 of a cent to $1.0036 US after Statistics Canada reported the economy grew by 0.2 per cent in July, the same rate recorded in June. However, that was below the 0.4 per cent reading economists had expected. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/world_markets

IQ: Is there a way to determine changes in intelligence of a population over time? If the average IQ is always 100 how is it possible to determine whether the intelligence of a population changes over time? I made a comment in a response to a question about evolution on YA suggesting that some populations could be becoming less intelligent over time based on this quote: "The average IQ in USA is 70 the same number it was in the Civil War!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxmzNH_ba78 For my trouble I received this personal attack via email and was blocked by this user: "Subject: ??????? Message: you fool!!!!!! the i q doesnt change hahahhahahahahahahahahah ur so ******** retarded! 100 is the adverage i q and it stays the same now and 10,000 years from now! please know what ur talking about b4 u troll YA ******* liberal" Clearly this person has a point about the average IQ being 100 as it designed to do, but doesn't any "average" change over time? I am aware of that there is some debate regarding "The Flynn Effect" and the change of IQ in a population over time but am not certain of it's status as a theory: http://www.indiana.edu/~intell/flynneffect.shtml A YA claiming devolution of IQ over time: http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhsSb6.hSNwQ95D_sSaoFI4h4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20071019102430AA8kUYM Here is one highlighting a change since 1932: "If present day American children took the 1932 Stanford-Binet test, their mean score would be about 120." http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090830132141AAhsosJ&r=w&pa=AptqD2bwHTHc6OaCYaI3vEPaXS5_cb3eCQsGB.cIT83_VA--&paid=voted This is the best answer I could see on YA for how IQ is calculated: http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiRzrBwBVh9TcW6ZY9j8Ahkh4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20080612191847AAEWIbc Here is one comparing IQ around the world (to me this example demonstrates how much educational and other bias there is in IQ tests): http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Asjb1yI45T7Qa0N5AUZQSyIh4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20091111011021AATfRY1 There are plenty of examples of changes in an individual's IQ over time - for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbakB41A-cw http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiRzrBwBVh9TcW6ZY9j8Ahkh4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20061202102926AAdftG5 I'm not really looking for answers that attack anyone for their beliefs (as in the example here) only someone who can explain whether there are changes in averages over time: http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiAgmH8rL8.e.yMom9SsoeAh4wt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090322013310AAALjDp By the way I don't put too much stock in reducing any human being to a score, put more value in EQ than IQ and would personally love if equal regard were given to the possibility of a HQ (Humanity Quotient)! What I'm really asking is - is there any way of knowing whether the average intelligence - 100 - of today is actually equal to to the average -100 - of a century ago or a century before that? On the one hand we have claims that society is always getting smarter on the other that it is dumping down - is there any way of measuring this - across multiple generations for example? Again not that I put much stock in IQ but I would have assumed something presumed to be designed to simplify people's intelligence to a score would have at least had a useful enough application in comparing changes across generations or is the average intelligence of people at 100 really of little variation across the ages? Sorry - that should be "dumbing down". My Bad! LOL!

CRASH? Do you agree with Forbes? That the United States facing perhaps the worst financial crisis since 1933? Forbes magazine said the United States is now facing perhaps the worst financial crisis since the banking panic that former President Franklin Roosevelt faced in 1933. To help grease the financial plumbing Monday, the Federal Reserve pumped a total of $70 billion ($50 billion and then another regularly scheduled $20 billion were injected in temporary reserves) into the nation's financial system through open market operations to help ease credit stresses. Lehman Brothers, the country's fourth-largest investment bank, filed for bankruptcy protection. A weakened Merrill Lynch, deciding it couldn't go it alone anymore, found help in the arms of Bank of America. Now, the insurance giant American International Group (AIG) is dangerously wobbling. Against this backdrop, Wall Street on Monday plunged 500 points, the most since the September 2001 terror attacks. "Fed pumps $70B into nation's financial system" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080916/ap_on_bi_ge/fed_credit_crisis "Wall Street is now at the mercy of Washington." "Facing reporters at the White House on Monday, Wall-Street-titan-turned-Treasury-Secretary Henry Paulson deflected questions about whom to finger for the meltdown, saying simply: “I’m playing the hand that was dealt to me.” So is Wall Street, and it’s folding." "No matter who’s elected, the next administration might have a much easier job of watching over the investment banking industry simply because it will be so tiny." http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080916/pl_politico/13486;_ylt=AkuWHsbzw.Qro8y4ZaffrHms0NUE On the trail... latest from our future leadership...

Our economy, I think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult time. And I promise you we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall street. We will reform government. And this is a failure.” Senator Barack Obama accused McCain of subscribing to the same economic philosophy as President Bush. Sen. Barack Obama: “For eight years, we’ve had policies that have shredded consumer protections, that have loosened oversight and regulation and encouraged out-sized bonuses to CEO’s while ignoring middle-class Americans. The result is the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression. And I certainly don’t fault Senator John McCain for these problems, but I do fault the economic philosophy he subscribes to, because it’s the same philosophy we’ve had for the last eight years.” All this has been happening since yesterday when the stock market dropped over 500 points and the ripple effect being felt around the world. Economists are all warning us this is a huge problem, it may be hard to get loans for cars, houses, etc. The state of the economy could get exponentially worse. People are being encouraged to withdraw from the banks and sell their stocks, etc. I wrote about this last night (per FDIC not being able to deal with the trillion dollars potentiall at risk, etc.), and got some very interesting answers, please refer to that too for some keen insight and additional information... Is American in trouble? Are bank deposits for once at risk? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Api3DBdrJ1_y2c_kH0Rmw9Xsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080915212838AAJlEea What I want to know is... Are we really in this deep of trouble, What the economists are saying.???.. "Once in century kind of phenomenon!" "This is the financial storm of the century!" "Congress must recapitalize FDIC immediately!" "1 trillion at risk, FDIC can only cover $50 billion!", etc... Someone please explain what is going on and what is going to happen, or your opinions on this please.

How important is the issue 'state of our economy' now that the US is in worst financial crisis since 1933? Can you believe the headlines in the last 24 hours?? All this btw has been happening since yesterday when the stock market dropped over a staggering 500 points and the ripple effect being felt around the world. Economists are ALL warning us this is a huge problem, it may be hard to get loans for cars, houses, etc. The state of the economy could get exponentially worse. People are being encouraged (not by economists, but by fear) to withdraw from the banks and sell their stocks, etc. "Once in century kind of phenomenon!" "This is the financial storm of the century!" "Congress must recapitalize FDIC immediately!" "1 trillion at risk, FDIC can only cover $50 billion!" "Wall Street is now at the mercy of Washington." So would you agree or disagree that the economy is the MOST IMPORTANT issue in our country NOW? PLEASE ANSWER THAT QUESTION, AND THEN WHO IS LIKELY TO BRING THE BEST ADMINISTRATION TO WASHINGTON? On the trail... latest from our future leadership... McCain: Fundamentals of Economy Remain Strong On the campaign trail, Senator John McCain said that the fundamentals of the economy remain strong.

So basically nobody knows if religion and JESUS are real? READ MY OTHER QUESTION below I just asked if there was any proof of JESUS and SOME PEOPLE SAY YES AND SOME PEOPLE SAY NOOO BUT it appears to know for sure nor do they no where other gods like ATTIS HORUS and such (have the same story as JESUS) People have theories but nobody knows. THE ONLY THING THAT APPEARS TO BE TRUE!!! Whtever most people think apply the OPPOSITE and that is usually more TRUTHFUL. It's cruel but it WORKS; just like WARREN BUFFET and my investments when (MOST PEOPLE) are scared and selling and they you BUY STOCK IN THAT COMPANY BITS AT A TIME and when (MOST PEOPLE) are all thinking it will go up forever YOU SELL STOCK BITS AT A TIME.....HEY!!! it works it's how BUFFET got rich do the opposite of what most people do trading stocks...it worked for him and it's working for me!! most peopel used to think the WORLD WAS FLAT!!!! NOW BACK TO JESUS could the same be true here? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071220120640AA7heur&cp=1

Why would one question (Obama) get more responses than the other (Bush) when they are same (please see details? I asked two basically similar questions, except one has Obama in it and the other Bush. Not only did the one with Obama get more non-answer responses, they come to his defense. I ask the same question and hardly no responses on the Bush one. Not even the same defense from them. I didn't even ask the questions to put fault on either but some people took it that way. Hell, I am in the stock market, so wouldn't I have fled if I thought Obama was the end of the world? Oh, and yes, a Presidents policies, whether in office or President-elect do have an effect. For the total picture, no, but they do have an effect on it. To think what Obama said, and continues to say or not say, has no effect on the markets is wrong. Obama Question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AisjUpe1N688vTgdqNdSEzLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081120122108AAJidJV Bush Question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkOvD5yqzPjNJxrrD810m37sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081120125537AAKhxbn Luckily, I did finally get the answers I wanted to both, from the same person. At least someone was actually willing to "answer" the questions.

Why do people think that a worker's wage is a part of a corporation's profits? I asked this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtOo4AB74WgwDefdr.cA5ibsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091212100048AA0yeuJ And so many people responded with the statement that companies do share profits, it is called a wage. However, in every single business class in every single institution in all the world, the definition of wage and profit are completely different. It is true that profits are affected by an increase or decrease in wages, but profit is the extra wealth generated by an organization after all expenses have been paid, while wages are the rates at which workers will agree to perform a desired action. They are separate. Wages are not profits, and profits are not wages. Why do people think that their wage is somehow part of a companies profits? And, if that is the case, and wages are profits, does that mean that the dividend yield from stock, which is by definition a portion of a companies profits, also considered a wage? If profits are wages, and dividends are profits, then why do people who own vast amounts of stock for a company get a wage from that company and they don't even work? Isn't it ethical to work for a wage? Why are people allowed to own millions of shares of stock for a company they do not work for, and collect all the wealth that that company generates?

What do you think of my Harry Potter fan fiction (Chapter 2)? heres chapter 1:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100708053705AAWGLOt Chapter 2: A Trip to Diagon Alley On the next morning, Saturday, the Diggory family took the Floo Network to Diagon Alley for a little shopping. The family stood at the start of the bright, cheery street wondering where to go first. “Well, I suppose I'll head up to Gringotts to get some gold. And shall I meet you in the book should in about 15 minutes?” Amos suggested. His wife found that idea to be perfect. “Come along Natalie,” Mrs. Diggory ushered her daughter down the street toward Flourish and Blotts. The store had a few browsing around inside and several workers were busy organizing books. The store was particularly well stocked, probably getting ready for the new term. “Mum?” Mrs. Diggory turned her attention to Natalie. “I was wondering if I could get a book for, you know, personal reading?” “Of course you can,” she assured. The family was well-off and not very concerned with money. Usually, Amos encouraged such reading. “But give me your list, to make sure we don't miss something.” Natalie handed her the list and went on browsing among the other wizards. She walked quickly to the back of the store, where the Dark Arts section was. She came to an entire section about the darkest wizard in the world, You-Know-Who. Among them many books included topics such as Harry Potter, Gridelwalkd and the Ministry of magic. But Natalie Diggory searched for more than that. She looked for an answer as to why he was so cruel. What had made him so cold and evil, enough to kill so many innnocent people, including her brother Cedric. Natalie failed to find anything that interested her. So she continured up and down the rows of books. She found herself in the section of Divination, a subject she wasn't too fond of. She picked up a book on death omens and help it close to her chest. She walked to the front counter where her mother and father were paying for a pile of books. Natalie handed the book to a young witch who tailled up the prices,wrapped, and bagged the books. Over the course of the day, the Diggory family went to Madame Malkins' to fit Natalie for new robes and sew on the Ravenclaw crests. They bought new jumpers and skirts, as well as new vests and ties for Amos. Next they went to the stationers. They picked up rolls of fresh parchment, several bottles of ink and dozens of new quills. When they stepped outside of the stationer, Amos and Natalie couldn't help but rush to the store next to it. Mrs. Diggory allowed her daughter and husband to have a quick peek inside Quality Quidditch Supplies. The shop was featuring a sale on loads of World Cup merchandise. Seeing as most of it never sold because of the unfortunate series of events with the Dead Eaters, the store needed to find a way to sell the inventory somehow. To support the store and Ireland, Mr. Diggory purchased two Ireland shirts for him and his daughter.

Don't we all pray that the civilians held by the LTTE in the combat zone take opportunity to flee? If you are trapped in the LTTE Terrorist Held Zone know that your family no longer needs to be terrorized. Cooperate with the armed forces and listen to their directives. A new camp has been created for you and your families. Your young children do not have to be kidnapped and made to fight the army. http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090505_13 http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/05/05/jonathan-kay-on-the-legacy-of-neelan-tiruchelvam-the-tamil-tigers-have-reaped-what-they-ve-sown.aspx The LTTE has assassinated or made attempts on more leaders and civilian bodies than any other documented terrorist group. This may not be numbers of casualties but it is certainly by the number of successful attempts. http://www.lankatruth.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1902:bughoff-foundation-funded-ltte-foreign-visits-to-buy-arms-selvi&catid=34:lead-news&Itemid=50 Here is a statement from a recently defected LTTE operative. http://www.watoday.com.au/world/the-girl-soldiers-robbed-of-their-childhood-20090504-asol.html?page=-1 What Reuters does not mention in the video insert about the shelled hospital is that on the same day there was unmanned drone footage showing some odd configuration being set up on the beach in the NFZ by the LTTE with explosive laden boats being moved from offshore to on shore and heavy artillery guns moved from LTTE hierarchy residential areas to the beachfront where civilians are located. Apparently, now the LTTE is saying that the hospital was located SOUTH of the NFZ instead of inside the NFZ. Suddenly changing the alleged location of the incident again only makes the LTTE out to be the persistent genocide creating liars that they are already known to be. The doctor who was interviewed a few days ago stated clearly that the damages were inside the NFZ and that he did not know who was responsible. http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/AMMF-7RRKPL?OpenDocument I think the army needs to make another push to get these civilian hostages out of LTTE hands as aide supplies have been purloined and squandered by the LTTE utilizing stocks of rice and dahl as improvised sandbags and storing aid in their areas and out of the reach of needy civilians. There certainly are not upper echelon LTTE operatives that are starving or sleeping in lean toos on the beach . Everything that is sent in for the people is stolen by the LTTE. http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090505_13 It is very easy to know who are the upper rank LTTE – they are the ones that look well nourished while the ordinary peoples look emaciated. These people are kept half starved on purpose by the LTTE so that they can be controlled for daily sustenance to them and their families. This is nothing new as it is a primary method used by extremist, genocidal "resistance" movements around the world. It is a large part of what makes them terrorists - conscripting youth by threatening and starving their families. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090505/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_not_welcome;_ylt=AmXNiTAPIa3K.HSj5DkDUWh0bBAF A very good idea for countries like Sri Lanka is a blacklist such as the one created by UK government that prohibits known and identified individuals and entities that promote hate, extremism and terrorism from entering their country. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090504/ap_on_re_eu/eu_who_swine_flu_pandemic;_ylt=AuUfO96yIGoVimjrrAZq94h0bBAF Please note that we are ensuring that the pandemic illness will not reach the camps by limiting access to foreigners that are recent arrivals. Now the LTTE is reporting the "shelling" as an explosion. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Sri-Lankan/photo//090505/481/ea2562eb1f1f4dd9af8036d544b380e3//s:/ap/20090505/ap_on_re_as/as_sri_lanka_civil_war_148#photoViewer=/090505/photos_wl_sa_afp/fe048fd1054a086de00da2815183a4b6 Isn't this really where the responsibility to protect comes in? It is the government's responsibility to rescue when there are civilians that are desperately trying to escape the LTTE that are caught and tortured by the terrorist organization. http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090505_14 http://www.colombopage.com/archive_09/May5192006CH.html http://ibnlive.in.com/news/india-trusts-lanka-to-not-attack-tamils-chidambaram/91823-3.html One of the resons that I have faith in the military as well as the executive branch is because of the losses that they have elected to take to save civilian lives and the care they have shown in how these civilians are treated.

UK FTSE share gone down why? I read this article on yahoo, but the very first paragraph confused me. I will copy it below. Basically why has the US market on friday 19th Oct caused the uk Ftse to go down today Monday 22nd Oct and what are the uncertainties causing this and could you please explain the uncertainties in more detail please. (why would the US housing market do this please?) thank you FTSE down on U.S. growth fears By Dominic Lau Reuters - 2 hours 1 minute ago LONDON (Reuters) - The top share index shed nearly 1.4 percent by mid-session on Monday following a global equities decline on renewed concerns that a U.S. housing slump would hamper growth in the world's largest economy. "The market hates uncertainty and this question of full fallout from the subprime crisis isn't known," said Richard Hunter, head of UK equities at Hargreaves Lansdown. Hunter added that one-third of FTSE 100 companies had significant contributions from their U.S. operations. "Whatever is happening in the U.S. economy can't just be ignored or swept under the carpet elsewhere," he said. U.S. stocks tumbled on Friday to mark their biggest fall in two months, weighed by Caterpillar's warning that the housing slump was infecting the wider economy, while Asian shares also fell overnight. ps: can anyone recommend any sites with links that can help people like me to understand the financial world better. thank you x
