What's up with China and the stock market?
Recently it seems that China has shaked the world's economy. What's happening? What did they do economically?
I heard from my economics teacher that China changes its currency value whenever they feel they need to - I don't know the specifics, but I'm guessing they adjust it to their benefit.
I want to educate myself in this area. Is anyone can help, I highly appreciate it!!

1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)5 years agoHow can I be more friendly?
I have trouble socially connecting in school and it s bugging me. I think one of the main reasons is because of how focused I am about school and what I want to do in my life. I don t take my life as a joke and want to do everything that I can to reach them. I guess the questions are how can I not be so up-tight and become more friendly?
Btw, I do have friends and acquaintances. I just have difficulty in relating to people my own age (17) and being able to joke around and not be so serious.
Can a person who is so determined about their future career and their education be able to balance a social life and be able to connect with others?

2 AnswersTennis6 years agoWhat does it take to become a professional tennis player? Is age 17 too late to start?
Hi I am turning 17 soon. I haven't even played the sport. I am very serious in playing and want to so bad. I'm planning to take lessons soon in about a month or so. What do I need to do? Or is it even realistic? I'm still in high school, a senior actually. My mom told me to get serious and just discouraged me straight out. I've watched Wimbledon lately and I keep hearing that most of the best have been playing since like 7 or 13. Do I really have a chance? I really want this. And what does it mean to be a professional?
I mean freaking 13 and 17 year old are already pro like Reilly Opelka or are getting there. I just touched a racket yesterday.
Honestly, I believe that I can achieve this but it will take time and a lot of concentration on this. Has anyone else accomplished this?
How would this affect my academics? I eventually want to get a Ph.D. involving physics. How much is it going to affect it?
Btw, I am a very dedicated person and I love this sport with a passion! At least from what I have seen, I get the chills.
3 AnswersTennis6 years agoWhat are good colleges in New York for science?
Hi, I'm going to be a senior soon and have looked at colleges that I like in California since I live there, but I really want to check out New York. What are some colleges that are great for science majors or engineering majors? I really like physics and biology and hopefully will master in physics or astrophysics or maybe microbiology. Petroleum engineering is also my interest too.
Thank you for the help!
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)6 years agoWhat happened to the Duggars scandal?
What the hell happened? I heard there was a scandal about how one of the sons had inappropriately touched one of his sisters, but is this really true? And which son and daughter was it? And the dad is mad at the son and said that people who commit to incest should be killed, but I thought the son only molested one of his sisters? Or more than one? And the dad is running for a political position due to this? And the Duggars just had a miscarriage?
What do you guys think could have been the cause of the son molesting one of the sisters or some sisters?
What is going on???

Hello, this is my first year in participating in Ramadan. I myself am not Muslim, however, I still am participating in it. Since I know no Muslims, I need help. When does it actually start?

2 AnswersRamadan6 years agoWhere should I place extra tampons and pads when I'm out to the movies?
Tomorrow I'm going to the movies with my friends & I just got my period. Where should I place the extra tampons and pads when I go out, other than taking a purse? Btw, I'm not the type to take a purse with me anywhere. I prefer a backpack, but it's too big just for the small items & it would be weird & suspicious doing that & only me from all of my friends taking a backpack.
Should I tuck it in my clothes somewhere? Girls, you're experts. Please help me!
10 AnswersWomen's Health6 years agoHow do I approach this situation???? Please?
So me & this guy kinda like each other. I know he has interest in me & likes me. This past week we have been messaging each other on kik a lot, sometimes even 4 hours late like 12:30 , though none of it is dirty. It is purely innocent & fun. We always joke around when we message on there. However, in real life we don't have much of a relationship. We don't say hi & I'm just too shy & scared to look him in the eye. He himself is a shy person so we both lag saying hi. Recently, we got super close during the message, how can I bring that closeness to real life? I don't want it to continue like this & pretend like we don't know each other out of our phones or let the closeness expire and leave.
I feel so bad too because we pass by each other & sometimes like less than a foot, but I'm too nervous to say hi.
Should I just randomly ask him why we ignore each other at school? Or would that be just a nooooo. Would it seem like I have interest in him by doing that, since I'm bringing attention to it? Idk, I just want to at least say hi to each other school and public without being to shy. Please help!!! 😁😁😁
3 AnswersSingles & Dating6 years agoWhat is the goal of String Theory?
If string theory could ever be proven, what would it prove or help explain?
Would it help explain what gravity fundamentally is?
I know that it brings together quantum mechanics and general relativity, two theories ( wait, they are theories, correct?) that are completely different from each other from math and the way it describes physics. What else is there to it?
If any of what I said is incorrect, please correct me. I am writing a speech on String Theory.
1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoWhy is String Theory sometimes called Superstring Theory?

1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoWhy is String Theory called the Theory of Everything sometimes?
I understand that it combines the fundamental forces, including gravity, and explains things further, but does someone have a more thorough answer than what I just put?
1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoHow has String Theory or Superstring Theory proven to use that it may be real?
I understand that String Theory cannot be proven until experiments are conducted, but why do string theorists continue to research into it? Why do they still follow it? There must be something that convinces them that it is correct?
May you please explain it as simple as possible please? I do not have a degree in physics, but know some modern theoretical physics.
3 AnswersPhysics6 years agoWhat can I do for my animal rights club?
Hello, I run an animal rights club with my friend at our school and I'm looking for ways to recruit more people into our club and what else I should do in the club. There are about 10 people including me and we need more people since all of us are seniors next year and need younger grades to help continue the club. Any ideas?
We already share presentations or videos to each other about news that is currently happening to animals, but not so much action. Like what can we do to help promote animal rights or anything regarding that? Or action? Any help/advice would be amazing! Thank you (:

Please someone tell me. Is there anyway? I need help! I'm trying to locate someone who is just incredible! Have you ever experienced something so tragic? Like having the "one" get away? The feeling is just SUCH a low feeling! & I'm feeling that right now! Today I took the SATs and in the room I was tested in, there was Mr. Right & I need to know who he is or anything about him.

I feel like my heart is torn and just EMPTY by know ing that he is out there and I didn't get to ask him for his number or name.
