I don't exactly know what this is called, so bear with me here.

Let's say I have a ratio from two numbers. And let's say I want to use that ratio to another number to calculate the missing denominator in Excel. (Note: These aren't the actual numbers I'm using in Excel, I just want the formula or how to get there for future reference.)

Example: 4 : 2 = 2 : 1

17,987,380 / ? = 2 : 1

I'm looking for the missing number using the given ratio in Excel.

Thanks!

Here's the background information: my fiance is a construction contractor, and was sent to clean up a job that a previous contractor made totally FUBAR. The lady fired the contractor when he said he prayed to God for guidance on how to fix the floor. How come this is crazy to people, but a politician saying he prays to God for answers on policy is legit?

Is the phrase "Team Romney/Obama" proof that our media are in the toilet? I mean, they are borrowing a phrase from Twilight fangirls. I bet Walter Cronkite wouldn't think of using such a trite phrase to describe presidential elections.

I married Janassa at the Temple of Mara, but she left before we could make house arrangements. Now I can't find her at my house or at the Drunken Huntsman. On the Skyrim wiki it says she opens a shop, but I've been unable to find the shop or Janassa.

Any clues to where Janassa could be? I gave her my best weapons and armor and I don't want to lose my best fighter now that I'm level 29.

This pro-life group came to my campus, and I asked the woman there if emergency contraception is abortion. She said yes.

So if someone takes Plan B 30 minutes after the condom breaks, it's abortion? Does anyone here agree with this despite the fact it takes over 24 hours for the sperm to reach the egg?

Some people use race as a bludgeoning tool to stifle intelligent debate, while others pretend there are no racial issues. Why can we not have a medium to where we can discuss race, but without overreacting or acting like there are no racial issues?

I am working on my thesis, and want a portable tablet to store PDF files. I was wondering if I should get a Kindle or an iPad. What are the important features of each? I don't want to pay for wifi service or whatever.

NWS stands for National Weather Service.

Which one would apply more, in your opinion?

Article 1 Section 8--Congress shall have power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures"

Someone needs to establish the standards of severe weather.

Tenth Amendment--The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

States should have the ability to make their own weather service; or it should be a private matter.

There have always been conspiracy theories, such as the cult of Bacchus engaging in treason against the Romans, and Christians burning down Rome. But are conspiracy theories more common and more acceptable in the age of information traveling at the speed of light? If that is the case, why? We have tons of information at our fingertips, so wouldn't accurate information be more accessible?

Thanks.

I remember a show came on once at night on network TV during around 2001-2002 or 2003. It was a show that only appeared once, and I think it was a two hour special on real supernatural events. It had a male host who appeared in a background of concrete and plants. Does anyone know what it is? It wasn't a Sightings episode, by the way.

We had this discussion in my class, and the sole person who said we needed to invade Iran to prevent the furthering of their nuclear program kept on bringing up Israel's interests. Needless to say, the people in my class who are in the military were not enthused...

Can anyone tell me how it is in the US's vital national interest to invade Iran? Please don't say Iran would give WMD to al-Qa'ida, as they have never given WMD to Hizballah and experts say it is more likely a terrorist would detonate an RDD rather than a large nuclear bomb that is bigger than a room.

I know I shouldn't substitute internet advice for the assessment of a doctor, but I have been unable to find a psychologist who will accept my insurance. I want to ask people on here because maybe they or their child have dysgraphia and can tell me if these symptoms are typical of it.

-I couldn't tie my shoes until I was 8 and was teased about it.

-I write with my hand in the shape of a claw. My teachers attempted to correct this with triangle-shaped attachments on a pencil, but it just frustrated me and I took it off.

-I write the wrong way, I've been told. I was told people write from down to up when making letters and numbers, and right to left when making round letters and numbers. I write up to down, and left to right.

-It is extremely painful for me to write more than a few sentences and I have to take frequent breaks. This is especially bad now since I'm in graduate school and have to take 3 hour long tests on paper.

-I write in a mixture of capital and small case letters, but mostly capital.

-My handwriting is mostly illegible.

If anyone can give me coping skills until I can find a psychologist, I would greatly appreciate the advice. I prefer to take all my notes on the computer, but I won't be able to do that for the midterm, and I'm afraid to ask my professor because I feel like that would be asking too much without documentation from the Disability Services office.

I was wondering if I should start collecting silver coins just in case a societal breakdown occurs. People talk all the time about the worthlessness of fiat currency, but is it possible that people would establish regional values for the dollar and continue using it rather than start using precious metals as currency in a disaster scenario? If that were the case, wouldn't collecting silver be redundant and even harmful? I'm aware that we haven't experienced such a contingency, but what do educated people well-versed in failed states and subsequent collapses say?

I want to establish my sanity as a caveat. I'm a graduate student studying natural disaster and terrorism preparedness for my thesis, and am quickly finding out we're completely unprepared for a terror attack while also being aware that the social veneer is very thin, as evidenced by Hurricane Katrina. I'm not saying it has turned me into an "end of the world"-type person, but I'm becoming increasingly aware of what happens after a major disaster, especially in areas where civil government has failed.

"The wise and virtuous man is at all times willing that his own private interests should be sacrificed to the public interest of his own particular order of society--that the interests of this order of society be sacrificed to the greater interest of the state. He should therefore be equally willing that all those inferior interests should be sacrificed to the greater interests of the universe, to the interests of the great society of all sensible and intelligent beings, of which God himself is the immediate administrator and director."--Adam Smith, "The Wealth of Nations"

It sounds to me that the "invisible hand" isn't a free market or unabated corporatism, but harmony of nature and society and following God's laws. And according to Scots and Britons of the time, following God's laws means personal liberty since we existed with perfect liberty in the State of Nature.

Mr. PAUL. "Mr. Chairman, Madam Speaker, I am pleased to lend my support to two amendments to H.R. 3121, the Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act, that will help those Americans, including many in my congressional district, at risk of increased flood insurance premiums because of actions of the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA). FEMA is demanding that many towns and communities spend thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to certify levies and other mitigation devices. If the levies are not certified to FEMA's satisfaction, the residents of those communities will face higher flood insurance premiums. Many local governments are struggling to raise the funds to complete the certification in time to meet the FEMA-imposed certification deadlines.

Several communities in my own district have been impacted by these requirements. My office is working with these jurisdictions and FEMA to establish a more reasonable schedule for completing the certifications. My office is also doing every thing it can to help these local jurisdictions fund these projects. Unfortunately, even though there is never a shortage of available funds for overseas programs, there are no funds available to help countries comply with this new federal demand.

While FEMA has thus far been willing to cooperate with my office and the local officials in providing extensions of deadlines for certification, there remains a serious possibility that many Americans will see their flood insurance premiums skyrocket because their local governments where unable to comply with these unreasonable federal demands. In some cases, people may even loose their flood insurance completely."

I really don't see why an alleged small-government libertarian would support keeping NFIP premiums low, especially since the NFIP was billions in the hole after the 2005 hurricane season. And I don't see why a small-government libertarian would want the US government in an area where the private sector obviously should be. Sounds like the government is distorting the market.

Unless Ron Paul was trying to appease his constituents before he got famous. It should be noted that his district is along the Gulf Coast and the Guadalupe River, and the Guadalupe River always gets soaked due to flash-floods in Central Texas.

With this sonogram bill in the Texas Legislature, who will pay for the sonograms for the woman getting the abortion if it becomes law? Will the State of Texas make insurance companies pay for it? If a woman doesn't have insurance and is paying cash for the abortion, will she be required to pay for the sonogram out of pocket, or will the state fund the sonogram since they require it?

I'm reading a lot about the logic used behind barring the mandatory sonogram or promoting it, but nothing about to whom goes the costs.

"Al-Qaida's expected retaliation for the US cruise missile attack against al-Qaida's training facilities in Afghanistan on August 20, 1998, could take several forms of terrorist attack in the nation's capital. Al-Qaida could detonate a Chechen-type building-buster bomb at a federal building. Suicide bomber(s) belonging to al-Qaida's Martyrdom Battalion could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives (C-4 and semtex) into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or the White House...at least one Islamic religious leader called for Clinton's assassination, and another stated that 'the time is not far off' for when the White House will be destroyed by a nuclear bomb...Al-Qaida's retaliation, however, is more likely to take the lower-risk form of bombing one or more US airliners with time-bombs...Whatever form an attack may take, bin Laden will most likely retaliate in a spectacular way for the cruise missile attack against the Afghan camp in August 1998."--"Who Becomes a Terrorist and Why," pg 15, 1999

Sun? We're in a solar minimum.

Tectonic activity? Volcanic eruptions are at an all-time low.

Changes in ocean currents? What changes in ocean currents?

If anyone has something other than a man-made cause, I'd be happy to hear it. Abrupt changes in climate are caused by something other than "natural cycles," and we're not at any point in a Milankovitch Cycle that would cause abrupt climate changes in the past 150 years.

"The idea of freedom is the most contagious idea in history, more contagious than the idea of submission to authority. For the breadth of freedom cannot be tolerated in a society which has come under the domination of an individual or group of individuals with a will to absolute power. Where the despot holds absolute power--the absolute power of the absolutely powerful will--all other wills must be subjugated in an act of willing submission, a degradation willed by the individual upon himself under the compulsion of a perverted faith. It is the first article of this faith that he finds and can only find the meaning of his existence in serving the ends of the system. *****The system becomes God*****, and submission to the will of God becomes submission to the will of the system. It is not enough to yield outwardly to the system--even Gandhian non-violence is not acceptable--for the spirit of resistance and the devotion to a higher authority might then remain, and the individual would not be wholly submissive.

The same compulsion which demands total power over all men within the Soviet state without a single exception, demands total power over all Communist Parties and all states under Soviet domination."--NSC-68

From what George Kennan put together, it would seem that he thinks communism is less atheistic and more of a civic cult. What do you think?
