So basically I had my LinkedIn account set up by me in April 2009. I joined my last employer on July 2012. On handing in my resignation, they threatened me with legal action if I failed to turn over my log in details. I was going through a bereavement at that time so was emotionally weak so succumbed to this demand. Now having left the company, the company has given my LinkedIn account to a new employee who has access to all my personal contacts including close friends and family who were contacts, the recommendations I gave to people appear under this new persons name. This person also hasn't bothered to change some of the information on my hijacked LinkedIn profile so my details are still on there. As a consequence, I contacted LinkedIn who asked me to provide them with ID which I did and they blocked the hijacked account so that I could get access to it again. Now it appears that somehow my employer has changed the password as the email address is registered in the new persons name.

I don't know what my rights are in this issue. Has my previous employer broken the law by hijacking my LinkedIn account (they paid for Business Plus subscription while I worked but account was mine)? What can I do to seek recourse and can my employer pursue me legally? I don't want any trouble as I am going through a stressful time already as my wife is pregnant and financially things are tough. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just signed up in September this year to SSE’s home and broadband package but since it was provisioned I have experienced frequent connection drops, and also I am getting dial up connection speed on the line.

I have been on the phone continuously since then complaining. They have run tests in the background saying everything is ok, and also sent me a replacement router but still the problems persist. They have asked me to replace the filters I am using as they reckon they might have blown. As I explained my frustration, the guys in technical support just gave me a load of technical jargon and confused me. I am locked into an 18 month contract with them now and don’t know what else I can do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have been married for 5 years now, and we have a 2 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with Addison’s disease. As parents, we are educat5ing both each other about our daughters condition, and how to give her the best possible life. I started a new job last November (career change) and these two elements are adding significant pressure to me every day.

Added to this is the strained relationship between me and my wife. We have noticed a distance developing between us both since the past 3 weeks. This started soon after her sister came to visit us. Since the arrival of my sister in law, my relationship with my wife has hit rock bottom. I am not an expert of relationships but my wife is behaving quite indifferently towards me. I sense that she is being manipulated by her sister. Earlier this week, my wife started to discuss personal issues with my side of the family… issues only to be discussed between a husband and wife. It was very embarrassing, and was more of a character assassination of me in front of my side of the family. My wife listens to and does everything my sister in law tells her.

Since this event, me and my wife are not speaking to each other that much. I am quite heartbroken that she had to bring up such personal issues in front of my family. In my mind, I know what needs to happen. She needs to stop listening to her sister and start focusing on her family. me, my daughter and her. I don’t know if this marriage will survive or not but I need to bring my wife to stay away from her family. Micro management of our relationship will ruin this marriage. Any advice on how I can turn things around because at the moment I feel as if I am the only one who sees things clearly.

Yesterday, I noticed what feels like a cyst inside of the skin on my daughters neck. When I touch it with my finger it is like a tiny ball. She is not troubled by it but when I touched it, it caused her some discomfort. Is this serious? Should I be alarmed and and take her to the family doctor. Thanks.

For me, it has been my uncle and auntie? They are the most negative, paranoid and annoying people I know. I get negative vibes when I am around them. It’s as if they suck the soul out of me, it’s that bad. But on the plus side, I have learned their behaviour and I can now find ways to limit the damage to myself. What about you?

My daughter will be turning two at the end of this month. This is our first child and looking back over the last two years, it has not been easy for me and my wife. My daughter got eczema when she was 4 months and whilst it is under control now her skin tone has gone quiet dark since she was born. The exzema just adds to our problems with her as she still scratches throughout the day. Aside from her exzema, she is quite a demanding and short tempered child. She is not a naughty child but quite attached to my wife and likes to be in her presence most of the times. She doesn’t really play on her own as other kids her age do. She is quite lethargic and trying to get her interested in something is a really big chore for us. Getting her to eat something is next to impossible at times. We went to the doctor to seek advice about these issues and she said that that’s just the way our daughter is and that we would need to change her behavior.

We had planned to have more children but our daughter’s issues leave us less enthusiastic to do so. I like to think we are doing a good job parenting but we keep thinking we are missing something. Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated? Thanks.

I have just been made an offer for a job. During the interview stage the hiring manager asked me what benefits I get, agreeing to match my current benefits package. During the interview, I stated that my family members are catered for by my current employer for two benefits and they were ok with that and there was no further discussion. I even filled out a form stating these facts. However, reading the contract, there is no mention of these benefits at all for my family. I have contacted them raising this issue but I am not sure if I am being short changed here at the last minute. There may be an oversight or misunderstanding somewhere but I feel that I may have inadvertently blown my chances. What can I do?

I recently applied for a position with a multinational company. I have gone through a rigorous interview process having done a series of psychometric and personality tests, I was interviewed by one of the partners at the company and also had a second interview with the Managing Partner (head guy). I have received extremely positive feedback during the interview process. However, this has gone on for 3 weeks and now the firm wants me to see the Managing Partner again. I honestly do not know what else I can possibly do to convince them to hire me. What are they going to ask me now?

Where can I get current and future projections for individual countries in respect of the following: Population, Nominal Growth, Real GDP Growth, GDP per Capita, Inflation and FDI. Is there one credible source where this information can be obtained? I have looked at IMF, World Bank and OECD but haven't had much success in getting complete data for Malaysia, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Thanks.

I went to see my doctor yesterday to consult him after I experienced four separate spells of what my doctor described as syncope, the most recent of which was on Saturday. These episodes all occurred during and after exercising. He also checked my blood pressure which was 140/54. He said it was ok but the second part of this (diastolic) was low which probably explained the fainting spells. He has referred me to see a specialist for a stress test whilst he is confident I will be ok he is concerned because I have a family history of heart disease.

The scary thing is that a family friend of mine suffered a heart attack recently (he is in his mid thirties) whilst exercising and since yesterday I am really scared if something abnormal is detected. My blood pressure was fine last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am in quite a delicate and difficult situation. My sister has major emotional issues and has already hit my wife over a disagreement. My sister is ill and she needs help but under UK law she cannot be committed unless she does something dangerous. She has declared that she wants to take her life in emails she writes to me, and says she has already cut herself with scissors. My family have contained the situation as we do not want this to get ugly but I have openly said in the family that my sister needs help. Her emotional issues have been going on for 4 years and each time she just says sorry to the family members she hurts. I don’t understand why my family is protecting her – she needs professional help. I am wondering if proof of intent to injure or kill in an email is a valid reason to force her into getting treatment. I am gravely worried about this situation. If something happens to her, the whole family will be torn apart. If she says or does anything to my wife, I feel that she will personally file for a divorce from me because of all this. The is affecting the entire family. Any advice would be appreciated.

The people down at the Registrars Office our city in the UK have made a mistake on my daughters certificate. My daughter’s name and my name are correct but they entered my middle name as being my wife’s maiden name. We could leave it as it is but was wondering if it is possible to get the correction made on my wife’s name. My daughter’s, wife’s and my surname appear correctly on the certificate. Can anybody dispute the parentage of our daughter based on this clerical error.

I became a father for the first time in 2008. However, due to our grave financial circumstances I had to take a job overseas which would address our financial situation. Thankfully, we are now safe and secure on that front. However, one thing that I have really messed up is that regarding my daughter. Now, me and my wife are together after such a long time. She was only 3 months old when I left to go overseas and as I spend more time with my daughter I find that she has developed some very bad habits. She will turn 2 this November. I feel as if my wife has really spoilt her in the time that I wasn’t with my family, but I haven’t said anything to my wife at the moment. I also take responsibility because I didn’t spend more time with my daughter, just 3 months during vacation.

My daughter cries a lot when my wife leaves the room, and also when we put on her clothes and shoes. She scratches us, often quite badly. She also has a habit of biting her own arm and me and my wife’s. I have also noticed that my wife keeps her in her lap quite a lot. My daughter also doesn’t eat much but she is very fond of sweet things – she is not overweight though. Moreover, she doesn’t go to sleep till 11pm and 12 midnight. She doesn’t listen when she is doing something wrong or touching something breakable. Now as a father bringing up children can be a source of strife in married couples. What can I possibly do to bring about discipline in my daughter life without creating an argument with my wife over the issue. Thanks.

I am a British expat living in the UAE for the past year. I was born in the lived and worked there all my life. Now my wife and daughter want to join me here now and as part of my contract my employer is paying for this. My wife is from a commnwealth country and has been granted British nationaility. We married in her country overseas in 2006 and immediately after that I applied for her spouse visa through the British embassy. She has been living and working in the UK since May 2006. I came out to the UAE myself in 2009. We also have a 1 year old daugther. However, as per the visa laws in the UAE I have to get my marriage certificate attested by the Foreign Affairs of the country where the marriage took place, then by the UAE Embassy in the country where the marriage took place.After that I have to get it attested a third time by the Foreign Affairs of the UAE. The marriage certificate has been attested by the Foreign Affairs of the country in which the marriage took place and now it is in the hands of he UAE Embassy in the country where the marriage took place. We are facing a problem from this embassy because they are saying that our marriage never took place which is completely shocking to us because my wifes British nationaility was granted on the basis of being married to me and we went through the stringent nationaility application processes of the UK Immigration and Border Service.

We have reached deadlock in the situation. The UAE embassy is asking for proof that I entered the country where our marriage took place but I told them that I cannot produce that original passport I travelled on because it was reported lost, and I was issued with a new one. We feel as if we are being discriminated against despite following all the rules. We have all photographs, and all witnesses from the marriage are present. The UAE embassy have refused to give us a reason why they think our marriage never took place. How can we deal with this situation? Thanks.

I am moving into a new apartment and for bizarre reasons cannot get internet installed. So my only option is to get mobile broadband via a USB connectio. I basically want to find out if an additional laptop can share the internet with the main computer that is connected to the mobile interent through its in-built wifi facilty? Thanks.

Yesterday, my internet stopped working all of a sudden. There doesn't seem to anything wrong with the router as it is showing all green lights and I also had my line tested which was problem free. I get the following messages when I try to access web pages using firefox, explorer and chrome - connection interrupted negotiation failure

I have been trying to find a solution online but can't seem to get any idea of what the problem may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am really worried about my sister’s mental state of mind. She lives with our mother. She is 25 and completely depressed. I think she has completely lost it. But the thing is that at certain times she can be feeling great and at other times is completely down. I am actually wondering if she has bi-polar disorder or some form of mental illness. Here is how I can describe her behavior:

- She hates herself

- Hates other people including my wife and daughter

- Doesn’t feel she is good enough

- She swears a lot

- She hit my mother once in the past few weeks

- She locks herself in her room (can be three days at a time – only to emerge to go to the toilet and take her food upstairs to her room)

- She hates it when other people compliment her

- She takes things the wrong way seeing them

- She cries a lot

- She is worried about being single for the rest of her life

I have talked to her and asked her to go and see the doctor but she doesn’t listen and doesn’t want anybody’s help. What can I do for her because I feel that if she doesn’t get her head straight she may not be around to see her 30th birthday god forbid.

I have recently been getting a strong twitch for 2 seconds in my right hand side pointing finger. This has been happening on and off for about 2 weeks now. Should I wait before consulting a doctor to see if it persists further. Thanks.

I want to work out the % of total revenue for a company. For example in my data set, I have four individual revenues but I want to out what the percentage for entry 4 is of total revenue

1. 976,130

2. 198,910

3. 52,762

4. 9,102

Total 1,236,904

Therefore, what is the percentage of 3 of the total revenue. Thanks.

Since our father passed away in 2006, my sister has become a very different person for all the wrong reasons. I feel she has never really recovered from the event. She dropped out of University, then got a job which she kind of liked but left after two years to go back to college to do a make-up course but even struggled with that hating all the other students and the teaching staff. She didn’t get on with anybody on the course and became detached from her social life.

My sister feels that the whole world exists only for her. When she doesn’t like something or when things don’t go her way she throws fits of rage, swearing at family members including my 1 year old daughter. At one time she even threatened to kill herself. Her major concern is that she will be single for the rest of her life. She has even been to see the therapist for a few sessions but left because she found them a waste of time. I have pleaded with her to go and see her doctor again and again but she doesn’t listen. She is a nice person by nature but her emotional problems get the better of her. I feel that she will waste her life and never get out of this destructive behaviour. She sends me SMS messages that are full of foul language and blames everybody else for her own problems. I just don’t know what to do. She is my only sister but the more she is like this the more she is driving herself apart from her family. I am seeing less and less of her and now don’t even respond to her SMS. I don’t see any hope of her at all.
