I heard chewing gum can give you cheek, mouth, and gum problems, supposedly including cancer[s], lockjaw, etc. Are there really any problems?!
I chew a lot of gum, and I've looked it up online but everything contradicts itself... help? :)

Cliff Swatner is single, 33, and owns a condominium in New York City worth $250,000. Cliff is an attorney and doing well financially. His income last year exceeded $90,000, and he has sufficient liquid assets to supplement his condominium and other tangible assets. Several years ago, Cliff began investing in stocks and bonds. He made his selections on the basis of articles he read describing good investment opportunities. Some have worked well for Cliff, but others have not. Cliff has never taken the time to evaluate his portfolio performance, but he feels it isn't very good. Cliff currently has about $90,000 invested. He has been dating a woman lately and hopes to marry her in three years, at which time he will need $20,000 for marriage expenses and a honeymoon. Cliff's only other objective is to accumulate funds for retirement, but he does not have a specific dollar target for this goal. Cliff feels that he has a moderate risk-tolerance level.

Explain some disadvantages of Cliff's current investment approach.
Construct a portfolio for Cliff, limiting your selections to mutual funds (assume that he sells his current stock and bond holdings). Make sure your plan indicates specific dollar amounts for each portfolio component. Make sure your plan also explains your selections for each portfolio component.
Explain how Cliff should periodically rebalance his portfolio, indicating how frequently rebalancing should be done.
SHOW ALL WORK FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT AND EXPLAIN EACH STEP CAREFULLY.

There's so much on my mind lately and for the past months now i have felt the biggest weight on me i have ever felt. I cry for what seems to be sometimes way long ago but i know can be small to people but has affected me so much! School doesn't make it any better and neither do my parents. They like communication between us but i can't talk to them. I just want to be left alone. I'm just waiting until i die. I live just because for no reason at all. I don't want to talk to people. I'm not really the easiest person to talk to when i feel like this though and i know that. And just knowing that i don't know what is wrong just doesn't help. I don't know what it is. But i just act like a normal person "happy" and "worry free", when in reality that's not what is going on in me. Its just the worst weight i have ever felt on me. A feeling so sad and a feeling of lonliness. I don't know where to go, who to go to, how to make it better. I feel hopeless.

i use condoms for birth control. my period got delayed for 4 days so my doc gave me Provera(10mg/tablet) to be taken for 5 days. i got my period in the evening of the fifth day of medication. she also gave me ALTHEA birth control pills (2mg Cyproterone Acetate + 0.35mg Ethinylestradiol) since it will offer birth control plus prevent acne. i started taking it starting on my first day of menstruation. after taking it for 10 days, i got shortness of breath, heart palpitations and numbness on my hands so i stopped. i'm now having brownish/light reddish vaginal discharges. it's my 12th day since i got on that pill. i took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. i did not have sex during the time i took the pills until this time (since my boyfriend went on training for two months and won't be back till June). should i be worried?
