  • My gum hurts all of a sudden for no reason?

    Specifically, my bottom jaw in the front on the right side mostly. It's been hurting off and on for about four days now. I've noticed a little, very little bleeding once or twice. I also noticed that in that area are one or two white spots which I'm not sure were there before.

    No suddend change in diet or anything. Not sure what I ate the day it actually started though. Not sure if this would be related because this happens to mw a couple times a day ever so often - when i yawn or something my jaw sort of locks bt nt aligned with each other so it hurts and i have to massage a certain area of my cheeks to relax it..

    Any ideas?

    Please dont aay see a dentist. I'd like to know if maybe this is something I can handle at he ao i can save my mother the expense.

  • how do you write to a file in C using a loop?

    I want to use a while to input some data into a file (in C)

    This is the code I have :"

    void Registering()

    {

    String nameString, addressString;

    String dob, ccnum;

    FILE *fp;

    fp = fopen ("D:\\ia\\testingfile.txt", "a");

    printf("Enter your full name\n");

    gets(nameString);

    getchar();

    printf("Enter your date of birth\n");

    gets(dob);

    getchar();

    printf("Enter your credit card number\n");

    gets(ccnum);

    getchar();

    printf("Enter your address\n");

    gets(addressString);

    getchar();

    while(feof(fp))

    {

    fprintf(fp,"%s ", nameString);

    fprintf(fp,"%s ", ccnum);

    fprintf(fp,"%s ",addressString);

    }

    fclose(fp);

    system("cls"); //clears the screen

    main(); //calls main

    } "

    At this point it does not write to the file at all. However when I change the lcv to "while (!feof(fp))" it does write to the file BUT it creates an infinite loop in the file containing only the credit card number and dob....which I just realized I haven't even written to the file o__O

    Also depending on if I have it set to 'feof' or '!feof' the screen never clears and the main is never called. Lastly, when I change it from '!feof' to 'feof' the file is completely blank although it was sent to append...

    Would I need to post all the code in order for you to help me correct this? Please help me asap, thanks!

  • what do you think of my lil speech?

    Rating 1-10, 10 being highest.

    Gimmie suggestions.

    Good, bad, whatever, so long as it's helpful.

    This is my first speech....btw pay no mind to the probably numerous grammatical errors....it'll be an oral presentation anyway.

    Response asap would be nice.

    Thank you in advance! Here it is::

    Hi good morning, what's the weather like down there? Okay that was a fail joke, my bad. Don't look at me like that people do this kind of random intro banter to break the ice all the time! And yes it is part of my speech, I'm not just rambling.

    Anyway let's get to the meat of the matter. I'm here to talk about nature vs nurture. It's a pretty popular topic that's been around long before I was conceived. Basically who we are has already been inscribed in our genes. But our environment determines who we become. Our genes may want something to happen but by the time our environment comes along and acts upon it, it may change into any number of things; which is why people genetically similar are so different. And this is the essence of nature vs nurture.

    I read an article by mr david dobbs on wired.com where he did a great job of making sense of this topic to me. He was saying that people confuse traits and behaviors, they think it's the same but it isn't. Traits lead to behaviors by mixing with other traits and or experiences. There is a pretty popular gene that's responsible for processing dopamine that people have rename "the drinking gene" "the adhd gene" and "the slut gene" simpley because it codes for novelty-seeking and risk-taking traits. However, this gene can express itself in different behaviors such as overdrinking, sleeping around, and hyperactivity OR traveling, reading more widely, doing more for others, and having more friends. Ours genes map out our lives but it's our environment that helps decide exactly which routes we take; that is they work together to determine our behaviors.

    I want to focus on substance abuse because my character RaeAnn from my reflection was under influence, in fact she and her lover were. Being under the influence was a big part of the reason why she was the way she was. Now I don't know her genetic make-up but I do know the environment in which she was raised. In her environment everybody smoked weed, and drank all the time. They probably did other drugs too. A lot of them, male and females, were promiscuous. Her lover did drugs and was also promiscuous. According to ms.silberg phd, assistant professor of human genetics and a researcher at the virginia institute for psychiatric and behavioral genetics at vcu, adolescent girls are more influenced by genetics when it comes to substance abuse while adolescent boys are more influenced by environmental factors including dysfunctional families and peers who are under the influence.

    According to a recent study which was released in 2011 in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences? if you have the "drinking gene" that is the trait not the behavior, you unconsciously become friends with people who have that gene as well. This means that if the person's trait lead to the behavior: alcoholism and your trait didn't then you are more likely to develop that behavior as birds of a feather flock together.

    In this whole nature vs nurture debate it's important to remember two things: as mr.fowler professor of medical genetics and political science at the univerity of california said: genes are not destiny and as professor Klapow at the school of public health at the university of alabama said "it's not nature vs nurture -- it's nature and nurture."

    Now I chose this topic because I knew there was a reason why RaeAnn and I grew up in the exact same neighborhood but she has a history of substance abuse, and a child when she was a teenager, while I experienced none of those things. I wanted to know what made us so different and when I heard about the topic nature vs nurture I knew that was it! The greatest challenge I had was when it came to getting reliable and valid sources. Since this is a known topic there were a lot of journals about it but you had to pay to view them all. Because of financial constraints I couldn't. I was lucky though that a lot of the people who did those researches also did interviews about their research and I was able to gain access to that.

    I was very much enlightened after doing all the research for this topic, so much so that it's making me rethink my future endeavors as a psychologist. I hope that, you were as enlightened by this information as I was, thank you for your time, good day.

    wow can you believe I wrote 759 words on my phone?? :) feedback asap please and ty

  • felt like i was about to pass out after exercising?

    I was doing some exercises, light, in my opinion. Just some butt and leg work. It was barely 20 mins and I was sweating like crazy which I found very strange then I got up (from the floor) to pause the video and almost fell over, I started feeling really dizzy like I was going to pass out or something then I had to lay down. Then I suddenly couldn't breathe through my right nostril and it felt warm. Idk, if it's related or not.

    Also I was sleeping all day because.....well I'm not even sure why but I was just feeling extremely tired.

    I'm a female teen, not very fit but not totally unfit. I haven't exercised in a while but started dancing and such last week and weight lifting this weekend and was about to really get back into exercising this week.

    What could be the problem? That (above) has never happened before and I'd like to know before I continue with my exercises.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • why isn't my program working [pascal]?

    okay everything works. There are no compiling errors. I ran the program and everything worked EXCEPT calculating the commission. I don't understand though. The instructions were to calculate commission at 3% of the total sales and I did just that!!!

    commission:= TSARRAY[i] * 3 DIV 100;

    isn't that the correct code?

    Please help. Here is the entire program:

    Program CaribbeanFashionStore;

    var count, commission, highest, i, nocom, hicom: integer;

    NAMEARRAY:Array[1..16] of string[30];

    TSARRAY:Array[1..16] of integer;

    COMARRAY:Array[1..16] of integer;

    Begin

    count:= 1; highest:= 0; i:= 0; nocom:= 0;

    while (count <= 16) do

    begin

    write('Please insert the name of a sales staff member');

    read(NAMEARRAY[count]);

    writeln('Please insert their total sales for the month');

    readln(TSARRAY[count]);

    commission:= TSARRAY[i] * 3 DIV 100;

    If (commission = 0) then nocom := nocom + 1

    Else if (commission > 0) then COMARRAY[count] := commission;

    If (COMARRAY[i] > highest) then

    begin

    highest := COMARRAY[i];

    hicom:= i;

    end;

    count:= count + 1;

    end;

    for i:= 1 to 16 do

    begin

    writeln('Name, total sales, commission');

    writeln(NAMEARRAY[i],' ',TSARRAY[i],' ',COMARRAY[i]);

    end;

    writeln(NAMEARRAY[hicom],' had the hightest commission', COMARRAY[hicom],' with ', TSARRAY[hicom],' total sales');

    writeln(nocom,' people had no commission');

    readln(hicom);

    end.

    I feel as though it might be the smallest thing that I just am not seeing!!! Thanks for the help :)

  • How to search an array for the highest value in PASCAL?

    okay I'll show you what I have so far....it doens't have a thing to do with searching the array but...background info I suppose.

    Program CFS;

    var count, commission: integer;

    NAMEARRAY: Array[1..16] of string[30];

    TSARRAY : Array[1..16] of integer;

    COMARRAY: Array[1..16] of integer;

    NOCOMARRAY: Array[1..16] of integer;

    begin

    count:= 0;

    while (count<=16) do

    begin

    writeln('Please insert the name of a sales staff member');

    readln(NAMEARRAY[count]);

    writeln('Please insert their total sales for the month');

    readln(TSARRAY[count]);

    commission:= totalsales*3/100;

    If (commission= 0) then NOCOMARRAY[count]:= comission

    Else if (commission= >0) then COMARRAY[count]:= commission;

    count:= count+1;

    end;

    end.

    Yes...this is homework. No, I'm not just looking for an answer. I don't know how to do it...my teacher gave me an example :

    i:=1; found:=false;

    writeln('please enter a name');

    readln(name);

    while(i<=5) and not found do

    begin

    if STUDENTS[i] = name then

    begin

    positionfound:=i;

    found:= true;

    end;

    i:=1;

    end;

    If found then writeln('the student's name is in the list');

    It's a total different scenario though. I understand that but how to search for the highest value...it's got me stumped.

    So if you can help ASAP I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance! :)

  • I have a serious phobia of saying "I Love You"?

    okay well when I was little I would spit out the words easy peasy just because someone said it to me and I was being polite but as I got older it got really hard to say it. When my mother said I love you I was just say nothing and I'd realise she'd feel bad so now I force myself to say it so I wouldn't hurt ehr feelings but it hurts me so bad that sometimes I feel like crying....okay now that's like really crazy. When people say i love you...I either say nothing or be funny and sarcastic by saying "I know" then changing the subject or just saying "You too".

    You think that's weird wwait till you hear this, I have absolutely no problem saying "I love you" to animals! Yup, I say it to my dogs, my fishes. Any animal I could say those words to...but why is that? I've never been much of a people person but this is just ridiculous.
