  • Ideas for a simple middle-eastern style symbol?

    I need a small little logo for my website that is symbolic of peace, unity, love, etc. I just want something simple and beautiful that has an equally simple and beautiful meaning. I suppose it doesn't have to be arabic or middle-eastern, but the website is a celebration of Muslim culture, so Celtic knots are not what I'm looking for.

  • Windows 10 back to Windows 7 (after a pc reset)?

    I know I'm an idiot.

    Short story: I upgraded to Windows 10 and didn't like it and thought that if I reset my pc then it would go back to windows 7 because I had upgraded the same day. I'm still stuck with Windows 10 and now I don't have the option in settings>update&security>recovery to downgrade.

    Long story: This all started because I wanted to record some songs on the piano and put them on youtube. I got iTalk on my iPhone6 to record better quality audio. Those clips were then downloaded onto iTunes through FileShare. Then I downloaded them to my PC files as AIFF. Which isn't compatible for uploading on youtube. So then I tried to download Windows Movie Maker so I could put it with some random clips or slides to make it into an mp4 or mpeg, but Windows Movie Maker would not install. It said that I needed to update (did not specify what needed updating). I assumed that meant Windows 10 because they had been nagging me to update every 5 min. So I updated. Then I tried to install windows movie maker again and it did not work. So now, I still don't have a program for video editing/file conversion and now I have a sucky layout with "Cortana" nosing into my business every which way. I would like to go back to factory settings, Windows 7, and start all over again. HELP PLEASE!!!!

  • How to increase my awareness?

    This might sound strange, but I have issues with my overall awareness. I daydream a lot, I can't focus, I don't have ADD/ADHD or anything like that. I know it's more of a temporary state of mind than a long-standing disorder. I'll be talking to someone and then realize that they've finished talking and have no clue what they just said. Also, I'm very indecisive and I can't make clear conscious decisions.

    Another issue: I'm emotionally numb. I read an article about low awareness and it said to ask yourself how you honestly feel. I feel nothing. Almost all the time.

    Anyone know anything about this or what I can do to improve on this? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

  • Best type of bathing suit for me?

    I want a bathing suit for a Greek cruise I'm going on. I have a bigger bust and a little extra weight that makes me a little insecure. I want something athletic for the support, but still cute. Is there a certain type of bathing suit that I should be aware or if you can give me specific examples I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!!

  • Servers/Waitresses: what to say when a customer asks if you like something on the menu?

    If someone asks you about a specific dish on the menu that you don't particularly like, do you lie and say that you like it or what? How are you professionally supposed to be helpful and do right by the customer and the business you work for?

  • Is it weird to go to clubs alone?

    I'm a 20 year old girl who doesn't usually get out much. I just finished up my associates degree and I want to go out and have fun. But it takes a lot to get my friends to go out (they're cheap, stay-in watch a movie types). I;m the same, but now I want to go out and meet people. I can get into bars, not a problem. I just want to know if it would be weird if I went to a club alone... or if there is somewhere that I could meet some guys (I'm still cheap so nothing that has a $20 entrance fee)

  • Fun SUMMER job ideas?

    I need a new job just for the summer before I go to school in the fall. The thing is, I'm not exactly qualified to do anything, but I have a great work ethic, I'm a fast learner and I can do anything that I set my mind to. I just need some ideas of what to look for, so here's a bit about me:

    I worked at a daycare for 2 years and just completed 1 year at an aquarium (guest services). I don't mind working with kids but I've "been there/done that". I want something that will give me experience as well as something that I enjoy. I'm not limited to a specific location (I can fly anywhere if I need to). I like the outdoors and I love to travel. The types of jobs that I have been looking into include: cruise ship jobs(retail,pianist,bartender,etc), national park jobs(tour guide,info center), and more.

    Remember, they must be SEASONAL, ENJOYABLE, and INTERESTING. Thanks!

  • How can I get the best lighting for my room?

    I don't have a main light because it was replaced by a fan. The only light sources I have in my 15'x15' bedroom is a strand of 100 lights over my one window. So it's pretty dark. I'd like my room to have more lighting, so I can study. But I don't want it to look like I'm being abducted by aliens or I'm being spotlighted by the FBI. I want warm lights, but strong enough that it is fully light (and I don't really want to worry about the lights getting too hot and burning my house down....)

    So....

    Warm lights (as opposed to the intense LED alien lights or the bug zapping fluorescent lights)

    and very well lit, but not so much that you have to squint at it

    and not extremely expensive or difficult to put up

    I'm not looking for fancy in-style fashion designing lights. I'm looking for practical lights that make the room feel warm and comfortable enough to study without hurting or straining your eyes.

  • Would it be offensive to wear a hijab if you are not Muslim?

    What if you were wearing it to make a statement about cultural awareness, as support for freedom of religion, or just simply a fashion statement? Are any of those reasons inappropriate and would any Muslim be offended?

    Also, are there certain places in the world, or situations (specific events) in which it would be considerate or mandatory to wear a hijab?

    Any insight on this cultural trait would be great:) Thank you!

  • Great name for a business that sells lei(s)?

    I was going for Last Minute Leis, but people started to point out that it sounds like an escort service. And not a fancy one. I'll be selling many different kinds of Hawaiian leis and other little trinkets. But the business revolves around leis. I need help with a name. I have a few in mind. Please tell me what you think and suggest some of your own! *Keep in mind that there is no plural form of lei. The word "leis" is inaccurate. So give me your opinion on that as well.

    Hanalei Leis

    Hana Lei

    Mau Loa Lei (Mau Loa means forever)

    Ahi Lei (Ahi means fire)

    And I'm out of ideas......

    Maybe it shouldn't have a Hawaiian name. It might be a bit misleading. I'm not Hawaiian. I lived there for a few months and visit often, but I'm not Hawaiian and don't have any family ties to Hawaii. It will definitely hold Hawaiian ties since it is a Polynesian art form and I want customers to acknowledge and embrace the culture, but I don't want to go all out tiki torches, pig on the spit, hula dancer on my business. Just focusing on mainly flower garlands. (But also ti leaf, nut, and shell garlands, and other trinkets.)

  • Business name: should it be correct or sound nice?

    I want to start a business called Last Minute Leis, but in the Hawaiian language the plural of lei is lei. So should I do the better sounding technically incorrect anglicized version (Last Minute Leis) or the correct less pleasing sound way (Last Minute Lei)?

    Let me tell you what I know so you can see how confused and wrong I am and that you may correct me or let me know if I'm on the right track?:

    Hashing is an encoding process for groups of data for security so that others may not locate information without the hash key??????
