3 AnswersCurrent Events7 years agoHow can I COUNT data in one column in Excel based on a range of values in another column?
Ok.. I have 2 columns of data. The first column is dates. There are multiple entries per date (so for example, 1/1/2011 may be repeated 20 times because there were 20 entries entered on that date). I am looking for blocks of information for certain weeks (so a range of 1/1/2011 - 1/7/2011). The second column has corresponding data for that date (so 1/1/2011 might have 253 in column B). I need to count how many times (or how many days), during a specific week, that a the column B data was between 0 or 180. So, I need to know how many times during week 1/1/2011-1/7/2011 (for example) a day had a value between 0 and 180. I'm doing this to see how many times, during any given week, a person made a call that lasted from 0-3 minutes, 3-6 minutes, 6-9 minutes, or 9+ minutes. The 180 is in seconds (which equals 3 minutes). So, is there a way to do this in excel and if so, how do I do that? I'm using Excel 2010. Thanks!!
2 AnswersProgramming & Design9 years agoIf I have 60K in debt and just came into 100K, should I clear the debt?
I have about 50K in student loans.
10K in credit cards that have a 29.99% interest rate
$6,000 of the student loans are at a 4.75% interest rate
$19,728.59 of the student loans are at a 4.12% interest rate
The other student loans are at a rate of 6.55% ($4,644), 7.62%($5,708.84), and the rest is at 9.75%.
If I were to come into 100K, how should I spend it with regard to the debt? Should I pay it all off at once? Is there a chance I could negotiate a settlement of a lesser amount? How should I invest the rest of the money? I am a new adult and I have never had investments or even really a savings account before. I just need some general advice on what kinds of things real adults do with their money.
8 AnswersPersonal Finance9 years agoCan breathing in a lot of farts make you sick?
I am hanging out with my boyfriend in my tiny room with the door closed. In literally the span of like an hour he must have farted about 40 or 50 times. Seriously. It smells absolutely horrible in here and also my stomach has started to hurt, my eyes are watering, and my head is starting to hurt. Is it possible that breathing in a lot of farts, like an excessive amount, can make you sick?
3 AnswersOther - Health9 years agoHow do I deal with an insecure boyfriend?
I met my boyfriend online. We talked for about a month and started to really fall for each other, even though we hadn't even met in person yet. We started being 'facebook official' and a few weeks later I decided that I wanted to be closer to him, so I moved 600+ miles away from home to be near him. I wasn't realizing the signs then, but at the time it was like, "why do you want to be with a loser like me" and "don't lie to me, tell me you don't think my penis is big enough". Now it's always something like him telling me that I should go back home, that I don't show him enough love, that I should find someone better. It's always something. I know he loves me a lot and this is all just his fear that I will leave him. I don't think he is doing this because he wants us to break up. I think he is doing this because he is insecure with himself. I have read many other posts that all sound the same to the problems I have and the answers all seem to be the same. "Tell him you love him, make him feel like he is good enough, compliment him, stroke his ego"... but I just can't do this all the time. This can't be the only answer, to keep playing this game with him. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to respond to him when he says these things. It's gotten to the point that I get mad at him for it. I tell him that it hurts me to hear him tell me to go back home and 'follow my dreams' (I moved from a big city to a smaller town, with far less jobs in the field I want to work in). But he is my dream. He is what I want. I made this choice because I want to make a life with him. I always put love first, stupid work stuff can come later. We will figure it out together. But, I don't want to leave him. but I also don't want someone who doesn't believe me when I tell him I love him. I'm so frustrated at this point and I don't know what to do. I know that part of this is my fault too because I'm an independent person who was raised to keep my emotions in and we didn't show love a lot in my family. It's really difficult for me to show love, to anyone. I always feel like a fake. I guess because I know I'm doing this as a 'solution' to his 'problem' it doesn't feel real or natural. It feels like I have to do these things because he needs me to. I just want to live life, ya know? Like be normal, why do I have to be all lovey and stuff every single day. I don't want to feel like I have to constantly prove to him that I love him. What should I do? How can I change and how can I work to give him more confidence, without getting upset everytime? Please help!

3 AnswersOther - Computers10 years agoWhat is the simplest way for a novice coder to make parts of 1 image hoverable with text?
I have 1 image and what I am looking to do is when someone mouse's over specific parts of that image it will either create a pop up box (preferably a pretty one and not just tooltip) that can hold roughly 500 words OR when you mouse over it will change the text in a static box that lives underneath the picture (sort of like a changing caption to the picture).
I only know basic HTML and CSS. I feel like I can catch on to javascript and jquery pretty quickly, I just need a little help! I am also under the impression that what I want to do can be accomplished in many different ways with any of the methods listed above. I am looking for something that would make the most sense to someone with a very basic understanding of just HTML and a little CSS. Thanks a bunch!
1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoWhat does "Serve up a facial" mean?
I was just watching Tosh.O and he referenced Marv Albert trying to eat a woman. I have no idea who that is (I am a woman and I'm only 25) so I went to wiki. It says, "She also claimed that he would force her to "serve up a facial" for periods of up to 45 minutes." Now, I do understand what it means for a guy to give a girl a facial... but for 45 minutes? I feel like there is something I am missing. How can a guy orgasm for 45 minutes?
7 AnswersBasketball1 decade agoIf I was already fired, but I signed a non-disclosure agreement, can I still bad mouth the company online?
I have been really upset about a recent firing and for some reason, the feeling that if I just put everything out there, online, that I have ever wanted to say about the company (and certain people that work there) for anyone to see, that I will feel better or relieved of the heavy weight I have. Mostly, I just feel so wronged that I need to shout it from the 'proverbial' rooftops just so that I feel justified.
However, I signed a non-disclosure agreement that said I wouldn't do things to hurt the company, but does that mean I can't relieve myself of these thoughts by sharing them with 200 or so of my closest friends online? Can I be sued? I am already fired, and based on the agreement I signed they have to give me either no recommendation or a positive recommendation or I can sue them. What should I do?
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoHow do I find the HTML coords for a picture if I want to map it?
I am brand new to this world of coding and just started self-teaching myself the basics of HTML and CSS. I am mostly learning from W3schools.com but I also supplement by looking through whatever I can find. I am stuck right now because I don't quite seem to grasp the concept of image mapping. I understand what all of this code means, except I don't know where the coord numbers can be found for any picture to try and replicate this on my own.
example code:
<html>
<body>
<p>Click on the sun or on one of the planets to watch it closer:</p>
<img src="planets.gif" width="145" height="126" alt="Planets" usemap="#planetmap" />
<map name="planetmap">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" alt="Sun" href="sun.htm" />
<area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" alt="Mercury" href="mercur.htm" />
<area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" alt="Venus" href="venus.htm" />
</map>
</body>
</html>

5 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoI just started regularly indoor rock climbing, what is this rash on the inside of my elbow?
I don't know if the two are related, but after I went indoor rock climbing today, I noticed these red rash like marks on the inside of my left elbow. It looks like when you scratch an area of your skin too much and your skin gets those red blotches, but this is in a cluster on the inside part of my elbow. This is about my 5 or 6 time climbing and I have been going regularly, about 1 a week, for the past month or so. My other arm doesn't have the red blotches but if I look closely I feel like I see tiny veins that I didn't see before. I am thinking I might have popped some kind of blood vessels or something in my elbows because I have been using my arm muscles a lot more.

4 AnswersOther - Holidays1 decade agoCan I attach multiple tags to one row of data in Excel?
I am a publicist and we need a way to track and tag all of the press hits we get. One article, or hit, might have multiple keywords in the article that we would want to know and then eventually sort by. So, for example, we get an article and the article has keywords in it, like cat dog or ribbon, and on an excel I would enter the Publication name, Date, and Circulation on one row. Then I need to tag that row with the 3 key terms of cat, dog, and ribbon. Eventually, I would want to sort out the excel to show me only the hits that mention cat or only the hits that mention dog. Since some hits might have cat, but no mention of dog, I need a way to tag each hit with these distinct tags, so that I can sort them out by the tags.
I hope I made this clear enough. I REALLY need help with this.

5 AnswersFacebook1 decade agoIs it me or him... who is to blame?
I have been dating my boyfriend for 5 years. We were together for 2 and half years, then we broke up for a year, then we got back together for a few months, then separated for a few months, and now we are back again for the past 7 months. He hasn't had a job the entire time we have been together. At first, he was getting money from his students loans because he was in school. He has been trying to get his bachelors for 8 years but keeps dropping out and going back. This last time he just stopped going and failed out. He hasn't gotten a job since then. I graduated a little over a year ago and now have a decent job. I recently moved into my own apartment and he lives with me, but still doesn't have a job. He has had money come in for various reasons, but no legit job. He also doesn't seem to be trying very hard since we have lived here for 2 months now and he still hasn't found a job. I love him, but I just don't think I should be with someone who doesn't take care of themselves and doesn't do what they need to do in life. I feel like I should leave him and kick him out but I am also worried that I won't be able to afford living here without him. Money has already been too tight for me and just a few days ago, he was driving my car (with me in the passenger) and ran through a red light. Luckily we both lived, but my car is totaled, my iphone is totaled, and now I have even more financial burdens. And he has no way to pay me back in any way.
Now I should also add that I am not in the right either. I fight with him about his lack of motivation and job everyday and call him some pretty nasty things. I will tell him he is a piece of **** and that he should just get out of my life. He says I make him feel like a piece of **** and he is depressed and that is why he is not motivated to do anything. I am so frustrated by this excuse that it also just makes me more frustrated. Like we are in a big negative spiral, and what... that is my fault? Please.
I feel financially stuck and that I can't get this negative situation into a positive one so my life can be filled with happiness again... what should i do?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoShould I leave my boyfriend?
We have been dating on and off for 5 years. We probably fight 95% of the time all 5 of those years, but he has been through every difficult time in my life with me. But now, more than ever, I feel like he is really not there for me because he doesn't have a job and he isn't trying very hard to get one. I have a good job and recently moved into my own apartment, which he is living in with me, but still has no job. He didn't have a job for over 6 months before we moved into the apartment and he hasn't one for the past 2 months since we have been here. He always has some excuse for why he hasn't looked. Before we moved here it was because we weren't moved in yet. Now, its a different excuse everyday. Mostly I think he is depressed because I fight with me practically everyday over the subject. I don't know what to do about it at this point. I feel like we are in a negative cycle. He doesn't get a job because we fight all the time and I threaten to kick him out, I do all these things because he doesn't get a job and I feel like he is lazy. How can I be with someone for the rest of my life who doesn't get his **** together and deal with life?

1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Widgets1 decade agoI have small bumps on my arms and I dont know what they are?
I have hundreds of very tiny bumps all over my arms, back, face... but mostly its bad on my forearm (between wrist and elbow). They are dry, no puss filling or anything, small, red, sometimes it itches but after i give it a quick good itch its fine. It started like 4 months ago with just little bumps on the tops of my hands. I noticed it showing up in weird patterns, such as one bump on the top part of my finger, but only one on each finger in the same spot on each finger and then there was a cluster of like 3 that formed a strait line across to top of my hand, but most of them would just show up in random spots as individual bumps or at a max of 5 in a cluster. There is no pattern to any of it though. After a little while they go away to. So one that shows up will disappear after a month, but im covered in hundreds of them and new ones pop up all the time. Over the months it has come to cover more and more of my body. I am posting pictures here.... photobucket.com/ArmBumps or you can try

2 AnswersSkin Conditions1 decade agoIf humans are viewed as seperate from nature, then what is the purpose of our higher intelligence?
We view nature as being something that is void of humans and their development. We see our influences to be destructive and are in a constant struggle to try and understand and control, nature to suit our needs.
But, it is our intelligence and ability to rationalize that makes us different than anything else on this entire planet. So, I ask all of you, what is our place within nature. In other words, what is the purpose of our higher intelligence, or what should we be using this amazing superior gift for?
