A few questions about Andrew Carnegie??????HELP!?
Andrew Carnegie, Philanthropist Throughout his life, Andrew Carnegie loved to read. So it made sense that he wanted to give money to support education and reading. When Carnegie was a young man he lived near Colonel James Anderson, a rich man who allowed any working boy to use his personal library for free. In those days, America did not have a system of free public libraries. Carnegie never forgot Colonel Anderson's generosity. As a result, Carnegie supported education; he gave money to towns and cities to build more than 2,000 public libraries. He also gave $125 million to a foundation called the Carnegie Corporation to aid colleges and other schools. What else did Carnegie believe in? Andrew Carnegie, Philanthropist World peace was another cause Carnegie believed in. He established the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and funded the building of the Hague Palace of Peace, which houses the World Court, in the Netherlands. By 1911, Carnegie had given away a huge amount of money -- 90 percent of his fortune. About the time that community foundations were taking off, an even more momentous event occurred -- albeit one whose impact would take several decades to unfold in full force. In 1913, Congress imposed a personal income tax on Americans, and in 1917 it allowed people to take an income-tax deduction for their gifts to charity. At first, the influence of the tax deduction was small because the income tax affected mainly the wealthy. But during World War II, the impact of the tax grew considerably as income-tax rates rose and the pay of average Americans increased sharply because of the booming wartime economy.

Help with operations management homework?
So the first problem is St. Joseph’s School has 1,200 students, each of whom currently pays $8,000 per year to attend. In addition to revenues from tuition, the school receives an appropriation from the church to sustain its activity. The budget for the upcoming year is $15 million, and the church appropriation will be $4.8 million. By how much will the school have to raise tuition per student to keep from having a shortfall in the upcoming year?

How can I unblock my computer from a WiFi network?
In most business and home network situations, Wi-Fi security is important as it protects against unauthorized wireless network access. In some cases though -- such as if you want to provide free Wi-Fi for customers -- it is more convenient to have an unlocked Wi-Fi signal. Every wireless router has a built-in configuration utility that can be used to configure wireless settings, including Wi-Fi security. To unlock your Wi-Fi Internet signal, change the Wi-Fi security setting in the configuration utility.1. Navigate to your wireless router's configuration utility address in a browser. Type in the username and password when prompted; the main menu will appear momentarily.2. Click on the "Wireless," "Wireless Setup" or "Wi-Fi" link in the navigation menu (the link name may vary by router brand) to launch your router's Wi-Fi settings page.3. Check the "None" option in the "Security" section of the page to disable Wi-Fi security. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Apply" or "Save Settings" to confirm the change; your Wi-Fi Internet signal will now be unlocked.TipsTo access your router's Web-based configuration utility, you need the router's address along with the username and password. The address will usually be "192.168.0.1", "192.169.1.1" or "192.168.2.1".The default username for Netgear routers is "admin" and the default password is "password".The default username for D-Link routers is "admin" and there is no password by default.The default username for Linksys, 3Com, Trendnet and Asus routers is "admin" and the default password is "admin".
Please tell me, in a brief paragraph or three, about the Gaia Theory / Hypothesis????
The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are viewed as a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism.

Q: What is the difference between "American Indian," "Native American," "First Nations," and "indigenous people"? Which one should I use? A: "American Indians," "Native Americans," and "First Nations people" are synonyms. They all refer to the same people. "Indigenous people" is a broader term that refers to any culture that lived in a place first. So Native Americans are all indigenous people, but not all indigenous people are Native Americans. For example, native African cultures are also indigenous. Most indigenous people in the US use "American Indian," and most indigenous people in Canada use "First Nations." "Native Americans" or "indigenous Americans" are frequently used to refer to people in both countries. Some native people have a preference for one term or the other, but none of them are offensive. Most Native Americans identify themselves primarily by their tribe (such as Cherokee) anyway. It's better to avoid using "Red Indian," for two reasons: first, this name originally referred to a specific tribe, the Beothuks, who painted their bodies and faces with red ochre. So it may cause confusion if you use it to refer to all Native Americans. Second, the term "Red Indians" has been used by racists in the United States, so using it may hurt somebody's feelings or give them the wrong impression. Please do not call native people "savages," "primitives" or "redskins." Those are always rude words.
