What food to sell at a high school’s fundraising event?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:47 pm by Lina Peru 1 Comment

We’re considering chocolate-covered frozen bananas, but aren’t sure if they’ll sell.

Many of the less-exotic foods have already been claimed by other clubs (soda, donuts, burritos, burgers, caramel apples, apple cider, garlic/foccacia bread, fried chicken, fish balls, smoothies, pizza, sushi, tapioca). We are also not allowed to sell food cooked by ourselves.

What other food items are likely to sell well? By the way, I live in northern California, so the weather is always pretty mild. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

what about ice cream… or ice cream floats… when I was in school.. .we raises alot of money since the day was so hot.





How can Electromagnetic Radiation travel without a medium?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:47 pm by Lina Peru 4 Comments

If Electromagnetic Radiation can travel through the vacuum of space then it can travel without a medium, but shouldn’t this be imposable? Or is it true that Electromagnetic Radiation uses the medium of existing magnetic fields, such as earths, distorting these fields much like sound waves do to air? And if so how can this have a direction of travel?

Electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum and any other physical medium slows or stops their progression. They do not use existing magnetic fields as a medium, though they do interact with them.

An electromagnetic wave is nothing more than an a propagation of a changing electric and magnetic field. these fields are always perpendicular to each other and travel in the direction of E x B, where E and B are vectors indicating the direction of these fields.

Its because these are electric and magnetic fields. These fields are just regions where forces are exerted on charged particles, they are not made of particles themselves in the same way that sound waves are made from air molecules.





What are good sports you can start in your late teens?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:47 pm by Lina Peru 4 Comments

I’m 17 and have played basketball and volleyball. I’ve also done some martial arts. None of the sports I have done so far have really been activities that I love. I go to a 5A high school so I can’t just walk on to a school team. Do you have any suggestions for sports I can try?

tennis might be something that you’d like to try out and it’s pretty easy to learn





What science does your school teach in each grade?

This is how it goes in my school:
6th grade- Science in general
7th grade- Life Science
8th grade- Earth Science
9th grade- Physical Science
10th grade- Biology
11th grade- Chemistry
12th grade- None

Also, 9th grade takes Health.
I don’t know if that counts as a Science class.

6th-Earth Science
7th-Life Science

9th-Chemistry
10th-Biology
11&12 are varying





How much do furniture sales people get paid?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:46 pm by Lina Peru 1 Comment

How much do people that sell furniture in a furniture store get paid? Is there a base pay rate plus commission? What is a normal commission rate?

Normally, salespeople are paid strictly on a commission basis in furniture stores. Common commission would usually run about 15% of gross profit on the item.

Now, this can change from store to store. Some pay a base salary, but usually for just a short time while you learn the ropes. After the learning period, the salesperson usually wants to end the salary and go straight commission because it pays more.

I’ve seen some stores advertise that they pay their salespeople a salary. I don’t know how that would work, but I’m thinking there would have to be something there we’re not aware of, as what would keep the sales staff from sitting on their fanny all day rather than helping customers?





How can I hook my PS3 up to my home theatre system?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:46 pm by Lina Peru 2 Comments

I recently purchased a PS3 , and I was trying to hook it up to my home theatre system. It is currently hooked directly into the tv via the HDMI cable….which is by-passing the home theatre system. I wish to include the home theatre system, I attempted to use an optical audio cable from the console to the home theatre but it didn’t work…any suggestions…we would like to watch our blue-ray movies in full surround sound. Would a HDMI cable from the console to the home theatre and a second HDMI cable from the home theare to the tv solve the problems?

just plug it into your receivers inputs, audio into audio in and video into video in.





What are good careers with a bachelors in business finance degree?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:46 pm by Lina Peru 3 Comments

I’m currently going for my associates degree in business management with an emphasis in administration, however I feel that this degree choice is limiting. I graduate in September and I’m thinking about continuing on to get a bachelors degree in business finance. I’m 21 and I don’t know EXACTLY what I want to do but I feel I would enjoy a career in finance (not accounting exactly), what kind of careers would be an option for me with a bachelors degree in business finance?

You have lot of options other then accounting to choose as a career with a bachelors in business finance. You can become a Financial consultant, adviser, planner, a stock analyst… the options are numerous i would suggest you to evaluate your strengths and then choose the career which you think would best suit you.





What is the best way to learn alternative health techniques and practices?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:46 pm by Lina Peru 3 Comments

I have always been extremely interested in alternative health techniques and treatments. I am currently in a very good job that I am not really crazy about. I would like to move into the alternative health field and would like to eventually open a health food store and small health spa. I know it is a process but I want to know where I can start. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there is no school to go to learn alternative health. I don’t know where to start learning and how. Also for the learning process I need to work around my full time job as I don’t have the option to not work as I need the income. I really want to start learning about this field and just need some suggestions on where and how to start. Is there perhaps a way to be like an apprentice to an alternative practitioner?

What about some books from a health store?

An even better start is a web search in Yahoo for "alternative health techniques" that will yield at least 412 results including overviews of alternative health techniques and stacks of other useful information for you.

Another useful search in Yahoo for "alternative health practices" will yield at least 2,888 results.





What percent of girls who start dieting at 13 end up with eating disorders?

Posted on August 25, 2010 11:46 pm by Lina Peru 2 Comments

I know a girl who has been dieting since she was 13 and still is (she’s probably around 15 now). What are the chances of her getting an eating disorder? I’ve heard that like 86% of girls who diet at that age end up with one, is that true? What statistics do you have/know? I really would like to warn her parents, especially since they see nothing wrong with her behavior. I’m not sure if she’s throwing up in a bathroom or anything like that, but she definately is watching what she is eating, eating foods marked "low carb", keeping track of how many pounds she has lost, and exercises for the benefit of weight loss. Also looks like she could use a vitamin if you know what I mean..
Thanks to all who help.

chances are she probably has one she may not meet the qualifications for anorexia or bulimia but she could be EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) which can become much more serious and turn into anorexia or bulimia . if you have an eating disorder you dont have to be underweight everyone has to start somewhere right? if she looks like she could us a vitamin id suggest asking her how many calories daily she averaging if she hesitates to answer then shes probably going to lie to make you think shes eating a regular amount if she says 1200 or 1500 she probably actually means 500-800 , telling her parents wont help a lot of adults dont understand it your friend should prbly get therapy or you could get her to talk to you and maybe even eat out with her make sure shes eating ATLEAST 1500 a day a 13 year old girl should be eating 2000 but if your friend has an eating disorder eating more then 1500 would make her freak out and when people with eating disorders freak out then they turn to puking…..i could keep going and goin and going but im gonna stop now
