3 AnswersPhysics7 years agoScience channel: Earth in a expanding bubble of space? Universe not expanding?
I can understand this explaining redshift of starlight, but HOW DOES THIS EXPLAIN THE STARS APPEARING TO MOVE FARTHER APART?
3 AnswersPhysics8 years agoI saw something on the science channel that says that earth may be in . . . ?
. . . an expanding bubble of space rather than space as a whole expanding. I can see how this could explain redshift, but what about the observations that the stars are getting farther apart?
references please
1 AnswerAstronomy & Space8 years agoHow can this theory really explain that our universe my not be expanding?
There is a theory that earth is in a bubble that is expanding. This would make the light from stars redshift WITHIN the bubble rather than outside it. But how would that explain our observations that the stars are moving farther apart?

Does it have to be alongside a dock? I looked at some on the internet and can't see any ladders or platforms. If you board from a beach where there's no dock do you have to wade into the water?

They say they provide technical support for MS users. Are they legit? Why couldn't they email me? It's easier to tell that way whether it legitimately associated with MS.
4 AnswersSecurity9 years agoIs a person disobeying a law if he uses a path throught Crown land and . . .?
(Thanks to those who answered my previous question, helping me to better refine it to get the information I sought.)
No one with legal authority objects to it, though they know of such use.
There is no posting that announces that such use is prohibited.
If neither the Crown land nor the adjoining lands have changed in any way.
If pedestrians and cyclists have used it for many years.
If civilians use it to gain access for fishing, when any alternative route for those who can only walk there is practically prohibitive due to the length of the route.

2 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoWould the outlaw biker club seek retribution in this case?
A "hangaround", who has never had anything to do with the club for decades, becomes aggressive to settle disputes as a matter of habit, going beyond reasonable force and actually initiating violence. A victim of such violence complains to the police, and the former hangaround is convicted of a violent offence, assault causing injury.
The issue: the former hangaround has downloaded more than his rent agreement allows (it includes utilities). Another renter, to be sure that he doesn't have to pay for the breach of the rent agreement, provides evidence that the former hangaround has breached the agreement. The former hangaround starts an argument with this other renter and 'resolves' it by punching or kicking this other renter, who is non-violent and does not retaliate.
1 AnswerLaw Enforcement & Police9 years agoAre those with antisocial personality disorder pervasive on Yahoo!Answers according to your experiences too?
They even seem to be proud of it. And entitled, as abusive personalities do. I’ve even seen a bully - an adult even - admit to the authorities that he was entitled to abuse the mentally disabled. How can anyone be such a fool?
Don't they realize that they can get caught, even on the internet? They tend not to be careful here, believing that they're safe, but that's not so. Anyone who goes too far and does it too often will suffer consequences - criminal ones. Even though they're too cowardly to give there personal information here, the authorities can track them.
As for the sane among us, we won't give such information to psychos for personal safety, but if it comes to showing up to give evidence in a case in which I come into contact with a psycho, I will be the first in line.
2 AnswersMental Health9 years agoI work at "Information" at a hospital. Confidentiality in this situation?
(disregard typos - I need 'Dragon')
My job consists of giving out patient information (rm numbers, etc.), to tell them visiting hours, to direct them to specific places in the hospital.
The information I'm given is limited. I am a volunteer, and am complimented on my work, but I always look for ways to serve people better. 'Admitting' is where people are admitted to the hospital (register, self-explanatory) and has more information than the volunteers are given, so when I don't know an answer I send the visitor or patient there.
HERE'S THE SITUATION:
A woman's father had just died. The woman came to me.
First she wanted to know where to go for being so distraught - that was easy, it was 'Emergency' for an emotional crisis. THIS IS CORRECT - It's posted on the inside of the information area, all of which I review each day I work.
THE SITUATION:
This is what is normally beyond my duties, but I'd prefer to lighten the duties of others if possible.She wanted to see the coroner. Even if she could have seen the coroner right away, wouldn't she have to prove her relationship? Admitting told me that I could have referred her to ER registration, but the cashier (who's given info for over 30 years) said there's be a confidentiality problem. Also the woman would have to find out who the coroner was - it's a small hospital and I don't think they have their own, just have doctors they call in. Could she be given this info right away?
Of course the woman knew the official cause of death - that's the only logical conclusion to make. My concern was that she questioned this evaluation.
Next, she wanted to speak to 'the director'. There's different directors in the hospital. I suppose I could have asked if she wanted to make a complaint, but I didn't think of it at the time. Sometimes, at info, you have to ask the right questions before you can find out what they really want. People don't always know how to explain themselves well, so you sort of have to act like a counselor and encourage them to give more information, trying to guess at what they might want if they're not explicit enough. The point is to be patient and kind (many of the responders here would thus be incompetent in such work).
This just happened. I'm going to investigate (talk to my boss and more) but it helps to get useful information ahead of time so that I can better formulate my question. That's why I'm asking this question again, giving more information - the responses, as abusive as some were, helped me in this way. Thank you.
I've talked to my doctor already, who says that small hospitals usually don't have their own coroner and that it takes a process to speak to one.
MY QUESTION AGAIN: How does confidentiality act as a barrier to the woman obtaining the information she seeks, so that she may act accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your help - some answers do help even when the answerer's only purpose is to behave antisocially (hiding behind the internet as if it were your mother's skirt), and if you are a caregiver or a lawyer, this makes you incompetent. Others who are more sincere I thank more.
