What are some good energy food?

Saturday, June 28th, 2008


I have been dealing with depression and may be something else may be going on. I have no energy and all I want to do is lay down and sleep. No motive and just drained……….any good energy food, and how often to eat them?

 

Apples! I also find that strawberry shakes (smoothies) give me lots of energy.
I usually make it with about 5 strawberries, Lit and Fit vanilla yogurt, orange juice or skim milk and ice cubes.

Junk food can be the reason why you feel so down, eating a lot of unhealthy fried or sugar/salt foods will make you feel tired and fat!

Exercise at least 30 min a day will also give you energy and won’t be so tired all the time.

Protien drinks or energy bars, caffiene, ginseng, and believe it or not, asparin.

Thunder and lightning?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008


I anytime there is thunder, is their ALWAYS lightning, or sometimes can there be thunder and no lightning?

 

Thunder is a direct result of lightning, always. There can never be any exceptions to this. When lightning occurs, the air around the strike is heated at a tremendously fast rate to a temperature that is hotter than the surface than the Sun. This explosive thunder is caused by the friction between the rapidly moving air molecules that have just been heated. Air is expanded rapidly and then contracted along the entire length of the lightning strike, thus producing thunder.

If the lightning occurs more than 15 miles away from the observer, thunder will not be heard because the sound waves are directed away from you due to the density differences of the atmosphere. This kind of lightning was termed “heat lightning”, although most meteorologists don’t like using that terminology.

Lightning causes thunder, so yes, thunder and lightning always come together. Sometimes, you may not hear the thunder/see the lightning, though.

Economics/Math question ???

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008


Suppose that the Tax function for an economy is 0.2Y (there are no fixed taxes or transfers). What is the Consumption function if C was 900 when Y (GDP) was 1400 and C was 975 when Y was 1550?

C=Ca+MPC*Yd
Y - GDP
Yd - disposable income
Yd=Y-T
T=0.2Y
Tax = 0.2 = 20%
Yd=Y-0.2Y=0.8Y
Ca - autonomouse consumption
MPC - marginal propencity to consume/spend

C=Ca+MPC*0.8Y

Y=1400 C=900
Y=1550 C=975

900=Ca+MPC*0.8*1400
975=Ca+MPC*0.8*1550

900=Ca+MPC*1120
975=Ca+MPC*1240

Ca=900-MPC*1120
975=900-MPC*1120+MPC*1240
120*MPC=75
MPC=0.625
Ca=900-0.625*1120 = 900-700 =200

C=200+0.625*Yd
C=200+0.625*(0.8Y)
C=200+0.5*Y

Answ: C=200+0.5*Y

Textbook Rentals is a Good way to Save the Environment

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Students pay for many different kinds of fees each year—there are tuition fees; laboratory fees; miscellaneous fees; and, of course, the fees for textbooks. Students spend hundreds of dollars annually to pay for this specific need. For practicality’s sake, some great minds have come up with a solution to the ever-increasing prices of new textbooks—textbook rentals.

Students do not only get the chance to sell their used textbooks and gain back some money but they could also help other students who would need the exact same textbooks but at a lower price. And since the rent a textbook idea gives way to recycling, it also saves many trees from being taken down each year. Renting a book would mean lesser waste (with 40% of landfills comprising of paper wastes). So this idea does not only save money but also a lot of forests from being denuded!

A good way to rent textbook is to go online. There are many online shops that now offer used books (and occasionally some new ones) at a much lower price. Students have the option to have the books shipped (where they would get the physical book) or they could just download the e-book version. Again, once a textbook is downloaded, hundreds of pages are saved and fewer trees are killed. So this school year, choose the better alternative—rent your textbooks and help save the environment.

Enhance Your Dodge Truck with Nerf Bars and Bed Rails

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Have you just bought your own Dodge truck? Congratulations! It certainly is a wise investment and you are ensured of great quality. Now, you can enjoy the spacious interior of your own Dodge truck together with tuned steering and strong brakes. You can think of further enhancing the appeal and functionality of your truck by attaching a nerf bar to it.

Actually aside from nerf bars, there are still other truck accessories that you can install in order to further enhance the appeal of your truck. For instance, you should look into the various truck bed rails being sold online or locally.

Dodge nerf bars, including bed rails, are great truck accessories. With a nerf bar, you will be able to climb up or step out of your truck just as easily. With nerf bars, you’d be able to avoid truck damage caused by debris or flying rocks. Most nerf bars are made of 3 or 4-inch aluminum or stainless steel. They are also wrapped with non-slip step pads. You can find nerf bars in various styles – some with black powder coats, others with polished mirror finish and there are those that come in thick chrome plating.

When choosing Dodge nerf bars, you have to take into consideration the truck’s design and its other accessories. If most of the parts of your truck are made of chrome, then it’s a good idea to get a chrome nerf bar. The same goes when you’re specifically looking for truck bed rails.

How can the US recover from the economic slowdown?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

What should be done to fix the economic problems that are occurring in the American economy today? What should the government do (or not do) to deal with the slowdown?

 

Change the Feds policy’s of easy money, decrease the trade deficit, increase interest rates so foreigners put their money in America, also America needs to start making products that the world wants like new technology.

——

The economy will pickup on it’s own. Any more government fiddling and they will screw it up all the more.

—–

kick starting the economy is really very simple. protect the value of the currency by providing a stable long term value. eliminate taxes on capital creation ie the capital gains tax. lower tax rates across the board 30%. these simple steps would create a miracle comeback in the US economy or any other economy for that matter.
