My parents always talk about money problems.?
My parents haven't put a single cent toward my college tuition. They just don't have it. That is why I've earned many thousands of dollars in scholarships and applied for financial aid. I have grants and loans which cover all of my tuition as well as it pays for my apartment and food costs. Don't worry. When it comes time for going to college you fill out a FAFSA and apply for financial aid. You'll be able to go to school, don't worry.
How do Indians feel when they go back to live in India after living in US for 5+ years?
Here is a word of advice for all NRI's who are looking to move back to India."If you are looking to move to India because you are bored of your job in the US or feel there are more opportunities here, then DON'T move back"I moved to Gurgaon 6 months back and its been a mix of pleasure and pain :)Its dusty, dirty, noisy, crowded, humid with crappy roads, even more crappier condos etc etc..you get the drift.If you want to live in a condo like you lived in the US, it will cost you atleast a lakh per month :)Most service providers and handymen will not be on time and will even be very blase about it.Shopping for good quality veggies and fruits is a pain.The fine line between a weekday and the weekend usually blurs.Maids and cooks are supposed to be a convenience but they are usually a pain in the neck because you gotta supervise them and keep an eye on them.Options for weekend breaks are very limited.If Google Maps says you will reach a place in 6 hours, it will take anywhere between 10-16hours.Sports facilities are pretty limited and the ones that are available are pretty expensive.The gyms here are crappy and are usually in the basement of some house nearby. There are good ones but usually very far from where you live and the commute is just not worth it.5kms of travel is like 25 miles of travel here.If you have been out of India for more than 3+ years, and have not been here in the last 3 years, you will get THE STICKER SHOCK of your life when you get back.Stuff has become frightfully expensive...some examples include petrol, wine, fine dining, movie tickets etc etc.Basically, everything is available here but at a price. You can almost duplicate your US lifestyle but the cost will be directly similar to what it was in the US. The only difference will be a drop in your salary (And this is if you were living in NYC or SFO. If you are living in Dallas or somewhere in the midwest in a $800/2BR apartment, the fun will be even more)Well, that's the bad part.Now to the good parts even though they may seem a bit vague :)Its home and I feel more 'alive' here.The food somehow tastes better.There is a notional sense of freedom (like zipping on the expressway at midnight without worrying about a cop car on your back)
How did people mow lawns in the 18th century?
The best answers are already up there, but I thought I would share with you a couple of good web pages that I have found in my research. http://www.american-lawns.com/history/hi... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn http://www.landscape-america.com/history...
Why did the South build fewer canals, railroads, and factories than the rest of the country 1800-1860?
a. The South did not have the money necessary for such projects. b. Such investments would not have benefited the South. c. Most southern capital was invested in slaves. d. The South saw the industrial and transportation revolutions as threats to republican ideology. My textbook says because the profits would not be substantial because there would not be much return profit wise on return trips to the south, as there was only a large demand for northern goods (clothes) once a year or so... But I don't see which answer would best relate.
How people lived in the 1800s?
It depended where you were and how rich you were. For example: In England, the majority of people were living in poor conditions. Because of the Industrial Revolution, the air was polluted in well established cities like London. Many of the men were working in Industrial areas and spet long hours doing vigourous labour and providing for the family. their wages were low so sometimes they couldnt afford to eat, or their wives would cook bread etc if they had the materials. Sometimes, children were sent into the workforce so that thy could receive money to eat. People began living in close units to one another, and the water was polluted with faeces and food waste, allowing fatal bacteria to grow It is said that people were just throwing body waste into the streets which would have made recieving parasites and viruses a whole lot easier. People were often catching contagious diseases and many people did not have regard personal hygiene. Also, there wasn't medication to cure things like the flu so if one person got it, it spread and because of the poor living conditions, it eventually got worse. Sexually transferred infections were not discovered so people weren't so cautious. Usually, if it was too cold to go outside to the outhouse, some people would risk it, some people would do their buisness in buckets. For the wealthy, all of the above was not in their concerns. They had clean running water, and washed regularly. They usually did not have intercourse with prostitutes so they would not have to worry about STI's, and they had inside bathrooms so they would not have many issues in that respect. However i someone caught a cold, they were endanger of their life since there wasn't many medical discoveries concerning prescription and pain killers so usually people just died. Hope this helps :)
Were immigrants lucky to have america as there new home in the late 1800's?
Lucky no. Their forefathers raped and committed genocide to get that land that's not lucky
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans did not brush their teeth. What happens if I stop altogether?
I’m obsessed with my teeth. I got braces when I was 7, along with all kinds of apparatuses and headgear, and I saw the orthodontist every month for eight years. As a grown ass adult, I still wear retainers. Because of all the pain and effort and money that went into my teeth, I take care of them compulsively.Several dentists have told me that if everyone had teeth like mine, then they’d be out of business. That’s right. My teeth are so awesome I put dentists out of business. I only get them cleaned once a year, and even still the hygienists are always all “wow, there’s nothing for me to do here…” Dentists literally exclaim at how “beautiful” my teeth are.I don’t mind bragging about my teeth. My parents paid a lot of money to make them awesome, and I have put in an ungodly amount of effort into keeping them awesome.My whole point here is that I know about teeth and how much keeping them clean can pay off. So, when I first met my now-husband, I was horrified at the state of his mouth.I wish I had a picture. His gums weren’t pink — they were kind of purple and grey, and they bled. Seeing as I put my mouth near those gums, I had to confront him about it. I discovered that he hadn’t brushed or flossed or gone to the dentist in five years.I was horrified. By this time I was deeply in love, but I must admit that this made me second guess things, haha.So I packed him off to a dentist. First he had to have a really expensive root canal done by a specialist (apparently his teeth have three roots instead of just two, so he can’t get anything done by a regular dentist). And then they told us that he had periodontitis, which means that he had big pockets in his gums that were filled with calcified “bacteria fortresses” (those are the the dentists actual words).The good news was they thought he was young enough that he could be saved. He had to undergo several “deep cleaning” sessions. These were painful, since the doc had to get right up under the gums to attack the bacteria fortresses. They gave him valium and the gas just to get through the cleanings.Turned out that it was all worth it! Three years later, his gums are pink and healthy, and he doesn’t have any more pockets. Thanks to me, he got fixed up just in time to make a full recovery. If his anti-toothbrush lifestyle had gone on much longer, he would have ended up with irreversible gum damage and possibly even bone loss.So, brush your teeth. Don’t be like my (wonderful) husband.
