I was thinking more about the program development and implementation side of things, having an MPH might help if I wanted to do work pertaining to health and health education.
That's true. It just depends on which aspect of public health you want. There's environmental, epidemiology, education, etc. Just don't counsel aids people. Your efforts will be better spent elsewhere.
Anyone here smoke e-cigs? I want to get my grandfather vaping so he can replace his cigarette habit. The cheaper the better, so if he doesn't like it, it won't be a big loss. Currently looking at Pro Smoke or V2. Recommendations appreciated.
So are these e-cigs like weed vaporizers in that you won't be inhaling all of the bullshit that causes your lungs to turn to liquid shit? I see more and more people with those ones about the size of a role of quarters with a tube sticking out. Still Ill stick with coffee for my questionably healthy buzz.
This thread is always helpful. I've got a question for you real estate experts. I took a new job back up in Maryland. My wife and i are getting ready to sell our house. Our carpets have damaged areas that happened prior to us buying the place 6 years ago. We know we will be having to include an allowance for the carpets. Pretty much the rest of the house is good. Except the kitchen. We have laminate counters. Good condition with a good green/black pattern. But not stone. Our fridge is black/stainless and looks great in the kitchen. We haven't been able to replace the stove, microwave and dishwasher, which are all white. The handle on the microwave is cracked and glued together. The stove is electric and has the glass top. The previous owner melted sugar or something and it melted into the glass top a little bit. They work but are not ideal. The dishwasher works great but is white. All work but aren't aesthetic. We found a microwave and stove that are perfect size and only a few years old that are black/stainless and match our fridge. They are only $550. We could find a dishwasher for $200-$250. Our realtor believes we should not buy anything new for the kitchen and see what happens and if it is a problem deal with it later. These used appliances won't be there later. Do you guys think it would be worth that money for those appliances or should we roll the dice and see what happens. We are still a couple weeks from even listing the home. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you have the money and are willing to spend it, I would do it. Kitchens sell a house and potentials buyers won't be expecting to replace those items for what you'd pay for them. And if they try to negotiate your price down, they will want more than the $700-800 you'd be paying out of pocket. And with the carpet issue, having the kitchen look good will help with a quicker sale. Just my opinion having looked at numerous houses over the years and knowing what appealed to me personally. Good luck!
You need a tax accountant or lawyer to answer this for you. Generally speaking, marginal tax rates do work like that (X% on the amount over Y limit) but something like long term capital gains is taxed in a different way. That way actually got significantly changed in 2013 so you want to speak to an actual professional about it. For example, there's the 3.8% surcharge on capital gains to help pay for the ACA that may or may not apply to you. Plus the international aspect, of course. So, basically, hopefully someone here is a tax professional, otherwise you need to talk to one to keep you from paying too much or too little and have the most efficient part of the federal government start after you. And, for the record, I am not able to give actual tax advice. Wikipedia has some useful info: <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax_in_the_United_States#Deferment_strategies" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_ga ... strategies</a>
So, my best friend just moved from England back to America a few weeks ago, and she started a new job yesterday which sucks. The conditions are shit and the pay is awful (she gets paid fortnightly and it's only $250). She's like a little sister to me, so obviously I want better things for her. So if any of you guys could help me hook her up with something better (and reputable-no meth labs or street corners) that would be awesome. She lives in Pennsylvania, is 21 and her work experience is only retail based, but waitressing would be a good fit for her too. Thanks mi amigos.
We have the issue with not wanting the porch light to stay on all day, but not wanting to come home at night to a dark porch and not be able to see shit. Possible solutions: 1)timer so it turns on and off at set times of day. 2)light sensor that turns it on when it gets dark and off when light 3)remote control that I keep in the car and use to turn on the light when I pull into the driveway. So, which of these would be the easiest and cheapest to set up?
You can have an electrician wire in a timer panel for whatever devices you want to automate, OR you can look for a plug-it-in and it works sort of solution. For a single thing to turn on and off, take a look at this: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Woods-Outdoor-Timer-Weatherproof-Wireless-Remote-Control-with-3-Conductor-Outlet-Black-32555/203638969" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.homedepot.com/p/Woods-Outdoo ... /203638969</a> Under $20, no hard install. Idk how your lighting is set up, but if your light is hard wired on the wall of the front porch, this probably isn't your choice. Good luck with it, however you go!
A timer is difficult to do on a porch light. Your best bet is to replace the light with either a motion-activated or light-sensing fixture. With the motion sensor the light will turn on as you approach the porch. On most units you can adjust the range to control how far away and how wide of an angle it senses. I prefer the motion sensor since it is also a security feature - if anyone comes to your porch it makes it appear as if someone is home. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and tell them what you want to do. They'll be able to recommend something. If you've never done any electrical work this is a good project to start with. Just be sure to turn off the circuit breaker.
Not sure why it's difficult to hook up a timer. There are timer modules that just get installed in place of the on/off switch: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Econo-Switch-7-Day-Programmable-Timer-Switch-for-Lights-and-Motors-RPLS730B1000-U/202720655#.UouALsTkt8E" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Ec ... ouALsTkt8E</a> Takes just a few minutes to install (making sure you turn off the circuit breaker, of course). The motion sensor is a good idea, but it also depends on your layout - you might want a walkway or something illuminated that's not in a good location for a motion sensor.
If its not hardwired and uses a power socket id suggest something like this: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.belkin.com/us/F7C027-Belkin/p/P-F7C027/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.belkin.com/us/F7C027-Belkin/p/P-F7C027/</a> Can turn on/off from anywhere using a smartphone and also set schedules for them to come on/off automagically
Does anyone here know anything about paving or laying asphalt? My argument with the guys who fucked up my driveway has gotten technical and I want to make sure I've got my ducks in a row before I hit them again. Thanks!
