Is it possible to open a safety deposit box or somethingwith it’s own address I can have some mail posted to?
Filed in The Category Home Safety
I dont want certain mail being delivered to my home, and was wondering if such a thing existed.
Thanx
Ok thanx for that Reba, but can anyone tell me if this exists in the UK, and the processes involved to get one, and use it?
Answer by Reba G
Yes it does exist. It is called a PO Box at the Post Office or if you want even more privacy, UPS stores offer them. Ours at the Post Office costs like 28 bucks every 4 months for a very small one (it is just fine size-wise as they hold bigger pkgs for us separate). Go to the Post Office and Get yourself one!

What are the relationships between motivation, teamwork and job satisfaction in Tesco?
Filed in The Category Relationships
For my business coursework i have been asked to describe the relationship between motivation, teamwork and job satisfaction in your chosen organisation, and mine is Tesco.. anyone know any anything?
Answer by Jo W
Why not choose an organisation you know something about at first hand, even if it’s much smaller? You stand a good chance of doing much better coursework that way.
Answer by Sharon
I don’t know what it is like to work in Tesco, but from my experience good Team Work helps to movtivate which in turn helps me enjoy my work giving me job satisfaction.

may not be quite what you were thinking of, but my mum had books on him when I was little and I used to spend hours with them. Absolutely fascinating!!
Answer by JD
um, well, i can think of a couple of routes i would try right off; i’d look up the Hudson River school here in the U.S. as they did landscapes and surely one of them did some autumn landscapes. i’d also try the photographer Ansel Adams who perhaps did a shot of autumn but for sure did landscapes. finally, i would even try Thomas Kinkade (I don’t think he’s even close to the talent of the others but, he probably has some autumn scenes; however, they will all involve little houses with lights on).

How to fit in at a boarding school in the UK?
Filed in The Category School Tips
I’m going to boarding school next week and need some tips on how to dress, how to act etc.
Also, are you allowed to wear make-up at boarding school?
Detailed answers are strongly preferred.
Thanks!
Erm, “daisyhill”, what the hell are you talking about? I’ve never asked this question before. Bloody idiot.
Answer by Leonard Peltier is Innocent
Don’t worry- it’s not that daunting at all. At first, yes, it may be- but boarding schools are great because you make friends quickly and there is a real sense of a vibrant and warm community when you’re staying there. Everyone is lovely.
However, I have to be honest with you and tell you that at first you may be frowned upon and you may feel left out because you’re a new girl and you’re American. You just need to be nice and show that you’re just like everybody else; if anybody is rude to you, hold your head high and just smile. Don’t say anything rude back! Private school girls all have the same code of conduct: you must be gracious at all times, and do not argue in public because it looks common and rude. Keep your pride and don’t be horrible to anyone. You’ll soon fit in, I promise! It always takes time to settle in.
The uniform rules are very strict (they were at my school) and, yes, you are expected to work hard. It may be a struggle at first, but you soon get used to everyday routines in the school.
Out of school uniform, the classic English preppy look is what just about everybody wears. Before you go to the school, I suggest you really consider buying clothes from Jack Wills (the quintessentially English shop where all private school kids get their clothes from). You must invest in, at least, one Jack Wills hoodie/jumper and maybe some underwear. Also, you have Abercrombie in America, no? If you haven’t got any already, but something Abercrombie. It’s like a less-exclusive and American version of Jack Wills. People will like you if you wear it.
Other essentials to pack in your suitcase are: Ralph Lauren polos, a leather handbag (as long as it looks expensive, it will be OK. Otherwise, go to Jack Wills and buy a bag from there), Miss Sixty jeans or Jack Wills jeans (must be slim fit so can be tucked into boots), Ugg boots (I hate them but have a pair anyway: they should classic style and tan coloured, NOT BLACK OR GREY), a pashmina and some designer sunglasses. Chanel are always popular; wraparound and aviator styles are the all-time favourites. Oh, and for accessories, always wear pearls.
Make-up tips:
- The au-naturel look is strongly preferred because a) it doesn’t look chavvy and b) make-up isn’t (normally) allowed in boarding schools anyway.
The best way to achieve the au-naturel look is, obviously, to not wear any make-up. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing it then you must be subtle with it because if you get caught wearing it, you will be made to rub it off and it will be confiscated. When I was at school, teachers claimed to be strict about make-up…but most of them didn’t notice if somebody was wearing it.
So, if you do choose to wear make-up, you will need to pack:
- Natural coloured foundation (tans are so tacky; unless yours is natural)- find one that blends into your skin tone and matches it almost perfectly.
- Concealer to match the foundation
- Lip balm (can be coloured if you wish, but lipstick and lip colour in general isn’t favoured).
- Mascara (black or brown- whichever matches your eyelashes better- not lengthening or thickening because it will look chavvy)
DO NOT wear: coloured eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, bronzer, face powder, blusher or anything that looks tacky and makes you look like you’re dolled up in make-up. The idea is to look naturally pretty and radiant. Normally, a bit of concealer to cover up any blemishes is your best bet.
Have fun at private school!
Answer by Daisyhill
You’re always asking this.
Answer by lauracavers
Act yourself for definite – but you have to be outgoing, so if you are shy just let loose and be loud otherwise you will get trampled on!!
Youcan wear make up as long as it isn’t obvious and dress varies but people at boarding schools like skinny jeans, tight skirts american apparel style, leggings, long tops etc. x
Any tips on how to write an outstanding medical-based personal statement?
Filed in The Category School Tips
I am currently writing my personal statement for my applications to med school, I’m just after any tips to make it that extra special? I would post what I have so far but don’t want it to be copied. Thanks.
Answer by redrose
Well you can get examples from this personal statement
“Mbuto.”
My African driver springs to his feet.
“Yes, Sahib.”
“Pass me another baby, I think this one has died.” I lay the dead infant in the pile by my feet. What I’d really like him to do is pass me an ice-cold bottle of the local beer. Compassion is hot, thirsty work. There is no ice in this wretched refugee camp, mores the pity, but as I’m here to help I will suffer in silence. I stare into the eyes of the African baby who is suffering from HIV or dengue fever or something gross and look out into the hot, dusty savannah and ask, “Why? Why gender-neutral and non-judgmental Deity (or Deities) does this have to happen?”
“And Why, Mbuto, is the air-conditioning on my Land Rover broken again?”
“One thousand pardons, Sahib, but the parts have not arrived.”
I will suffer. I have lived a life of privilege and my suffering serves to link me to the suffering of mankind. I roll the window down. God it’s hot. How can people live here? Why don’t they move where it’s cool? Still, I see by the vacant stare from the walking skeletons who insist on blocking the road that they appreciate my compassion and I know that in a small way, I am making a difference in their lives.
Africa. Oh wretched continent! How long must you suffer? How long will you provide the venue to compensate for a low MCAT score? How many must die before I am accepted to a top-tier medical school?
When did I first discover that I, myself, desired to be a doctor? Some come to the decision late in life, often not until the age of five. The non-traditional applicants might not know until they are seven or even, as hard as it is to believe, until the end of ninth grade. I came, myself, to the realization that I, myself, wanted to be a doctor on the way through the birth canal when I realized that my large head was causing a partial third degree vaginal laceration. I quickly threw a couple of sutures into the fascia between contractions so strong was my desire to help people.
My dedication to service was just beginning. At five I was counseling the first-graders on their reproductive options. By twelve I was volunteering at a suicide crisis center/free needle exchange hot-line for troubled transgendered teens. I’ll never forget Jose, a young Hispanic male with HIV who had just been kicked out of his casa by his conservative Catholic parents. He had turned to black tar heroin as his only solace and he was literally at the end of his rope when he called.
“How about a condom, Hose,” I asked. The J, as you know, is pronounced like an H in Spanish.
Annoying silence on the line. Hesus, I was there to help him.
“Condoms will solve all of your problems,” I continued, “In fact, in a paper of which I was listed as the fourth author, we found that condoms prevent all kinds of diseases including HIV which I have a suspicion is the root of your depression.”
More silence. No one had ever had such a rapport with him. He was speechless and grateful and I took his sobs as evidence of my compassion.
“Hey, it was double-blinded and placebo controlled, vato.” Cultural competence is important and I value my diverse upbringing which has exposed me to peoples of many different ethnicities. I always say “What up, Homes?” to the nice young negroes who assemble my Big Mac and I think they accept me as a soul brother.
“We also have needles, amigo. Clean needles would prevent HIV too.”
My desire to be a physician has mirrored my desire to actualize my potential to serve humanity in many capacities. This may be something unheard of from medical school applicant but I have a strong desire to help people. I manifest this desire by my dedication to obtaining all kinds of exposure to all different kinds of people but mostly those from underserved and underprivileged populations. In fact, during a stint in a Doctors Without Borders spin-off chapter I learned the true meaning of underserved while staffing a mall health care pavilion in La Jolla, California.
Most of my friends are black or latino and I am a “Junior Cousin” of the Nation of Islam where I teach infidel abasement techniques to the Mohammed (PBUHN) Scouts. I also am active in the fight for women’s reproductive rights except of course for women in Afghanistan who were better off before our current racist war.
As Maya Angelou once said, “All men (and womyn) are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.” I feel this embodies my philosophy best because the prospect of grad school is too horrible to contemplate.
