I bought this plant at Lowes, and the only thing the tag said was "designer indoor tree" or something. I have been giving it water but not a ton, I've had it in direct light, non direct light, shade and no matter what the leaves keep turning brown and dying. You can see the dead leaves in the picture. If you have any idea what kind of plant this is or how I should care for it, please help. Thanks in advance.

I worked at the same place for 2 half years. I quit and now they asked me to come back my only problem is I'm worried she's going to try and screw me out of the raises that i had before and start me back out really low. Can they do this?? My husband says if she wont let me i just need to take the paycut and get over it but i really don't think it would be fair I' haven't worked there in just 4 months. How do i avoid all this? And if I don't like what money she is willing to give me what do i say??

I wouldn't start the new job until after I have my baby and finish maternity leave, because it's full time and right now I work part time, so I wouldn't start until June 2008. I told the new potential employer I want to take the position, but how often should I contact them, he said we'll stay in touch, I called him last a couple weeks ago, I see him on a regular basis because he works with my company, should I wait for him to call me next. I just don't know cause it's so far off.

I'm really confused as to how to approach this problem. I know the product and quotient rules, but I'm still confused. Could someone please help me? Thanks!

It is estimated that the peron income is rising in Miami metropolitan area. In July 2001, the population of this area was 3,354,000 and increasing at roughly 45,000 per year. The average annual income was $21,107 per capita, and this average was increasing about $1900 per year (well above the national average of about $660). Use the Product Rule and these figures to estimate the rate at which total personal income was rising in Miami in July 2001. Explain the meaning of each term in the Product Rule.

A Muslim has faith that Mohammad told the truth about his visions, etc..

A Mormon has faith that Joseph Smith told the truth.

A Jehovah's Witness has faith that they are part of the 144,000 that will be saved

A Christian has faith that their 'relationship' with Jesus is real, and not imaginary - plus they have faith that the people who put the Canon of Scripture together were trustworthy...

Which group has the strongest faith? Does it matter? Can all these different groups have faith in things and those things all be correct?

What if someone has faith that the Earth is flat... Are they wrong? Is their faith based on something wrong?

Should people who have wrong beliefs be compelled to change them?

How do you know your faith is correct?

Do you care?

Is it religion, politics or a mixture of both that's causing so much upset? I know it's a very deep subject & close to a lot of peoples' heart, but it's a worry sometimes, isn't it? Why do peple fall out so much over religious stuff?
Haven't heard the Pope or Rowan Williams saying much lately. The Israel/Palestine situation seems to have gone quiet (thankfully) Mind you. I thought that was more about territory than religion these days.
What's your take on all this religion stuff? Seems like it causes more harm than good sometimes, but how is it affecting the world we're living in now?

Ok this was about a year ago but im new to answers & thought id ask.I was still asleep but it was morning & the curtains were drawn it was relatively dark in the room.I was having a dream in which 2 psycologists/docters were sat talking about a patient a girl who looked abit like me sat in the corner of the room..the first docter asks the other "how do you know shes evil" the other replies "I saw the evil in her eyes"..then it shows the girl she slowly looked up & she had a real piercing evil gaze..at that moment I could feel an energy infront of my head(you know like when you hold a pen between the middle of your eyes & can feel it) something in my brain woke me and forced me to open my eyes.there was something pitch black across half of my face watching me like it was putting the nightmare inside my head..then very quicky I heard a noise like the sound a horse makes galloping away. and I actually felt hooves on my covers at first I thought a cat was in my room but it wasn't.

Jamie Gorelick or Janet Reno type that has always run interference for the Clintons, in fact, Gorelick was the fix on the 9-11 commission.

I rented a condo for 2 years and moved after my lease was up. First- Before I moved in, I did a walk thru and noted that there were stains on the carpet, this was written on my report. When I was doing the final walk thru for moving out nothing was noted on my report regarding the carpet. Now the realtor wants to charge me for replacing the carpet because she said I damaged the carpet (she also mentioned the carpet was brand new when I moved in, which wasn't because there already were stains on the carpet). I don't feel I should be charged considering the carpet was already stained before and I highly doubt any brand new carpet has stains...She also told me the place smelled like cats. I didn't have any animals in the place except for a 10 gallon fish tank. Does she have a right to charge me for carpet replacing?

It was a 40 minute delay..I asked him to stop there on our way out of town he said no..I had to pick up the item befor 5pm or loose it so I went to get it and when I returned home, he was gone. When I called him he said that I could not control him so quit trying.

My husband of 2 months has been friends with this female (Amber) for over three years and were once roommates when Amber's mom kicked her and Amber's 3 year-old daughter out of the house. (Amber was my husband's friend's girlfriend who passed away). Early in the relationship I went to each of them and confirmed that they never had ANY history together and they haven't. I also made sure that if they are to remain friends, there should be some boundaries because my husband is now a married man. So far they have complied with some of the boundaries but his friend has no friends of her own. Whenever there's a problem (or she just wants to talk), she calls or texts my husband at all hours of the day & night (which I've verbally disapproved of) . She continues to text my husband silly pictures of her little girl, asking him to watch her dog for days at a time, or comes over unannounced. I'm getting very annoyed. Am I being irrational or should I handle this myself?

As 77 million members of the Baby Boom generation begin to retire, America is about to experience one of the most dramatic economic, sociological and demographic changes in its history. The institutions we have relied upon in the past are completely unprepared for what lies ahead.

Politicians, the national news media and the general public have become increasingly aware that our federal entitlement programs are about to be swamped. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid have made trillions of dollars of explicit and implicit unfunded promises. In fact, by 2030 (about the midpoint of the baby boomers' retirement years), we will have to double every tax rate or cut every benefit in half.

But our problems do not end there. Federal, state and local governments have made $5 trillion in promises (many of which are unfunded) to civil service workers. Corporate America owes about $450 billion in pension promises and $350 billion in post-retirement health care promises that are also unfunded.

To make matters worse, the instruments we have created to help individuals save for their own retirement - principally through 401(k) accounts — are also not working well. In general, people are not saving enough, and they are not prudently investing the funds they do save.

Behind our inadequate institutions are inadequate public policies. For example:

* On balance, the tax law encourages current consumption, but discourages saving for consumption during retirement.
* Even more important, the tax law encourages overconsumption of health care before retirement, but discourages saving for what are likely to be greater health needs later in life.
* The American answer to the European-style welfare state has traditionally been employer-provided benefits. Yet:
* Unwise public policies are encouraging large employers to abandon pension and post-retirement health care promises made to their employees.
* Other policies are preventing employers from helping employees make their own provision for income and health care during the retirement years.
* The policies that are most inadequate for the baby boomers' retirement years are those affecting early retirees. In general:
* People who retire early will find that their opportunities to save are much more restricted than those available to people still in the workforce.
* They will find that health insurance is not only more costly when purchased by individuals, but the insurance (unlike insurance obtained at work) must be purchased with after-tax dollars.
* Once they begin drawing Social Security, they will discover that if they earn additional income, say by working part-time, they will face draconian effective tax rates - taking as much as two-thirds of what they earn.
* And even if they don't work for wages, they will discover that the tax rates on their pension income and IRA withdrawals are much higher than the rates paid by younger taxpayers at the same income level.
