  • Book Analysis APA help ?!?

    I am writing a ~3000 word book analysis and I was wondering do I need to reference the book every time I talk about it ? We are asked to use APA format.

    For example:

    When Ernest Shackleton, the leader of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, sought out volunteers the task proved simple: he received more than five thousand applications.

    It's not a direct quote from the book, but a summary of information I have gathered by reading it ... I am not 100% sure what I do here

    Also, for a direct quote from the book; do I use the page number ?

    Ex: The salaries offered were very low and thus these men were "motivated solely by the spirit of adventure" (Lansing, 2007, p. 28).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated ! I understand the point of referencing, but it's just so tedious!

    Thank-you :)

  • What is the consequence of not paying library fines ?

    So I recently found out I have over 100 dollars in library fines... I was just wondering if there were any hard consequences (other than not getting to use the library) of not paying them?

    I live in Canada, if that makes things better.

  • MGM Grand Garden Arena , kid friendly ?

    Hello ,

    I was interested in attending a concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas , but I was a little curious on whether minors are allowed to attend ... when I checked for tickets on Ticketmaster it said "Adult" above the quantity of tickets.

    I was just wondering if that just means they are adult priced or if it's for adults only ...

    Any help would be appreciated !

  • Chewing Advil Liquid Gels ?

    For the past couple years I have been chewing Advil Liquid Gels (Extra Strength) because they are the only ones bought in my house and I don't have the proper mindset to swallow them whole.

    I recently noticed that on the bottle it says "Do Not Chew" ... a little late for that but I was wondering why I can't chew them ??

    I know that it tastes disgusting and burns your throat, but is it causing me more harm than good ?

    Thank-you,

  • Windows Movie Maker Help ?!!?

    Hello,

    I made a video using the webcam on my computer and then I proceeded to edit it using Windows Movie Maker (for Vista).

    Here's my problem, it's for a school project and the school computers only support the Windows XP version. I cannot figure out how to convert it, so I was going to publish it but every time I click "Publish Movie (Ctrl+P)" the program stops responding.

    Why does it keep freezing? and how can I solve the problem?

    Is there a way to convert my video so it plays on a later version of windows?

    Thank-you,

    Hey.

  • My dog cannot walk on her back legs...?

    My dog was running around like crazy yesterday at the Dog park...something that is common and she didn't seem to hurt herself and all yesterday after she didn't show any pain.

    But today she couldn't walk up the stairs from the basement (where she sleeps), well she made it up but she was sliding and stumbling a lot.

    She now just sits next to the couch unable to move. She is showing great pain in her rear legs.

    What does that sound like to you?

    Should I take her to the vet now or should I wait?
