Billing Statement

List at least two reasons why they wanted to join or didn’t want to join, please and thank you.
Can you also include a statement that tells the causes of the war?
Thank you to whoever answers<33

1) Defend the territory the Mexicans were invading between the Texans border RIO GRANDE and the Mexican claim of Nueces.

2) Get the Mexicans to stop raiding their cattle ranches.

something intriguing, surprising, or funny, but not offensive

other than "easier to get laid" ..idk

I’ve been on prozac for a year & a half now & planning to come off them this month. I’d really like to join the navy! How does this affect my chances of being accepted? would it help if I had a written statement from my doctor saying I am well?

I was a sub-mariner for year [relative of Prince Namor, you see] and according to Admiral Peabody of NIN-COM-PAC , an old family friend, its ok as long as using anti-depressants didn’t make you feel amorously toward Koalas or Dingos, mate!

now, i have never ever done anything like this. I’m 16 and i’m trying to get into a better college than the one i’m at, so i joined some program thing where they’re gonna help me with it (financially too). I was told to write a personal statement and the prompt given to me is as follows:

————————————————————————————————————————————————
Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?
————————————————————————————————————————————————-

now, i was also given a certain amount of words i was allowed to use (roughly 500). So i’m done for this part. only, i don’t think i’ve done such a good job. Can someone read over this and tell me if it’s a good one or not? i don’t expect someone to lie and say "wow, this is certain to get you into any college," because that’s not all they’ll look at. but i need to know if this is good or not. so anyhow, here’s what i’ve written:

———————————————————————————————————————————————–
Looking back on my life, I find that my most important quality has always been my determination. It has gotten me through a number of struggles at times where the situation seemed hopeless. The most recent example in my life was graduating high school at the early age of sixteen. I skipped first and third grade and that gave me a headstart in school. But in the middle two years of high school my grades began to suffer due to troubles at home and the fact that I just stopped caring.

Nothing in my life was going how I wanted it to go, and I felt to try was pointless. I didn’t know why but it didn’t seem to matter how hard I tried, things just wouldn’t work out for me. And so when I had homework I wouldn’t do it, or I’d procrastinate and end up getting poor grades because of it. I would do well on the tests, but without the homework, it didn’t help me get the grades I should have. My mother would try over and over to get me to do what I needed to so I could graduate on time. But it didn’t even matter to me, nothing did at the time.

Finally, at the end of junior year I decided that school was for me and that after having all the troubles and misery in my past I deserved happiness in my future. I signed up for summer school to make up for the classes I’d failed and decided to take extra classes senior year to meet all my graduation requirements. I still felt as if everything was somehow a scheme to keep me down, as if no one wanted me to succeed, but even so, I’d already made up my mind that if I wanted success I would have to take it from whoever tried to keep me from it.

I did everything I could to keep my grades up and clean up the mess I’d made in the previous two years. When things got hard and I felt like quiting again, I had to remember that I was doing it all for me. I kept telling myself that the greater the struggle, the greater the reward for it. And I was rewarded for my determination in the end; May 19th 2009 I became the youngest person in my family to graduate.

But high school was certainly not the end of my journey. At my graduation party, a great friend of mine told me “chase your dreams, live your life, and be happy, no matter what obstacles stand in your way.” Those words have stuck in my head ever since, and I will follow them until the day I die. I have many dreams to chase and my determination will be the fuel for the fire I need to burn a path to my dreams. With hope and determination I can put my other abilities to good use. Because it doesn’t matter how smart you are, how quickly you can learn, or how much work you can do unless you have the determination to make use of those abilities. I’m making an effort to succeed and I won’t rest until I do.

Am, people like you and MThompson(another answerer on my other question like this) are very helpful. idk why you guys assumed i’d take offense to your answers, i asked for help, not for someone to tell me this is the best thing ever when it wasn’t. if you two hadn’t came to help and telll me what should be fixed and how to do it, i’d have thought this was good even though it wasn’t. i see the errors you guys pointed out and you’re both right. I’m glad you guys were able to help me instead of lying to me. As for some other answerers (on the other question) they didn’t help.they either said it was good (which is a lie i see) or they just said it wasn’t good. but they didn’t tell me what was wrong with it. But you did and i am very grateful for that. i’m going to re do it and ask again, please be there to answer my question later. i’ll come back to this one to post the link to it after i ask it. Thank you in advance

Please do not think I am being mean here, I am trying to help you:

number of struggles at times where the situation seemed
Time is not a where, time is a when.. in which would be better

graduating high school at the early
graduating FROM high school

early age of sixteen
in college writing only numbers below nine are written out, unless they are the first word in a sentence. Use 16

that gave me a headstart in school
head start

and I felt to try was pointless
felt is considered a cliche’ term in college writing. try believe or think

things just wouldn’t work out for me.
college writing is about being clear and concise. Take out for me.

end up getting poor grades
"getting" is informal english. Try end up with poor grade, or something like that.

help me get the grades
avoid get or any form of it

try over and over to get me to
double wording is effective in speech giving, not in writing.

that after having all the troubles
"having" is a really vague term.

I still felt as if everything
again, take out felt

When things got hard
do not use got. Maybe, when things were difficult (better word then hard). comma after hard

graduation party, a great friend
"great" is very over used, vague, and subject to misinterpretation. For all I know, you mean a large friend of yours.

doesn’t matter how smart you are
are you writing about the person reading this, or about yourself? If you want to make this general, try …it doesn’t matter how smart one is, etc

I’m making an effort
never use contradictions in academic writing

Writing a clear and concise letter will help yours to stand out.

Yeah, broad statement and I know it depends on personal interests.
I’m 17 and will be graduating high school this year. Good grades, etc.
I wanted to join the Marines, but people are telling me I’d have better luck with the Army or Air Force.

Why did you choose what you did?

Alright first i’d like to say congrats on wanting to join the service and better yourself. I have plenty of experience and much of it from the school of hard knocks. I nearly joined the Marines originally a 17 and they were not supportive so I couldn’t get the waiver signed. I’m thankful for that much now. The recruiters wouldn’t allow me to pick a guaranteed job and either wouldn’t give me straight answers, or told me obvious BS. By the time I could make the choice on my own I wasn’t interested mostly due to the lack of honesty. I was interested in traveling the world and learning a trade and knew the Marines weren’t fond of sailors. So I said what the hell and joined the navy. Well that had its ups and downs but as I was in, I discovered many things about the Air Force I wish I had known. the living conditions are far better, they get paid extra if they have to live in what the rest of us consider nice housing. They have the shortest deployments (3 months usually) they are the most relaxed with regulations comparatively, The physical aspect is nearly non existent, The food is great, and they have great gyms and other facilities. Much of their funding goes towards morale for the people. They provide the most technical training and treat their people pretty well. It would have been a good choice but I didn’t do my homework until it was too late. They do not accept prior service for the most part. I looked into the Army to see what was up after my tour was up. They offered bonuses which the marines rarely ever do. Mine was 10K and I knew some with 30K enlistment bonuses. They are much better funded. The marines get the left over crap from the Navy. They deserve more but they money just isn’t there. Their living conditions aren’t near as good nor is their equipment. I’m using an M-4 Carbine and I have a bipod attachment with an ACOG scope on my rifle. My gear was all brand new. Promotion is much faster because there are more billets. You can make E-5 in the time it takes most marines to make E-4 if they get it at all. There are lots of training schools you can attend like jump school where it’s nearly impossible in the marines. They deploy for 12-15 months at a time which means more money. They highly encourage you to take civilian education courses and it helps towards promotion. These are just some of the things off the top of my head. I’ve worked with all branches of service and the marine hype is just what it is. I respect them but they are not a cut above soldiers. I go on 6 mile runs, do ruck marches with over 100lbs of gear, regularly train and go to the rifle ranges plus do my MOS. The Marines do not do all of the fighting while the Army stays back and other horseshit i’ve heard. I’m not trying to have a bash the Marines session and I respect them but I think the truth needs to be out there for you. I can direct you to a blog of countless marines that hated their experience. The Air Force has the highest retention rate of all branches and has so for the longest time. I don’t know how true this is (which I believe it) but alot of the female marines talk of a glass ceiling compared to their male counterparts in the marines. Promotion is already tough too because there are limited billets.

"Does not the unbeliever see that the earth and the heavens were joined together and we split it asunder"(quran21:30) .

Does that mean the heaven and earth were once the same Original Atom the science explains ?

A short statement like this can be interpreted in MANY different ways. It COULD be interpreted to fit in with some scientific theories - but the original meaning will NEVER be known (if it was a god explaining something, then the statement should have been less ambiguous)..

I have two tables of equal length that I want to join together row by row:

Table 1
Number|
———–|
1 |
2 |
3 |
______|

Table 2
Letter|
——–|
a |
b |
c |
——-|

result

Letter | Number |
———|————–|
a | 1 |
etc.

A JOIN statement in the query would require something to JOIN ON to prevent getting all combinations, right? (a,1; a,2; a,3; b,1;etc). The only thing I can think of is to imbed a sequence generation inline and join on that:

SELECT Letter, i++ AS count1 from Table 1 JOIN Number, j++ AS count2 FROM Table2 ON count1=count2;

However, I don’t think PosgreSQQL(or maybe even any database) can do something like than, can they?

Hmmmm.

If possible could you write me a select statement that uses an inner join and then write the same select statement using an imbedded select statement to pull the same results.

These two are differt commands and having different purpose…

Is there a way to create a join statement across two databases?

Using the example below..

I need to the specid column from System.dbo.PayerSpec and Data.dbo.claim

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!

As long as both databases are part of the same SQL Server instance you can do it with a simple join.

select *
from system.dbo.PayerSpec p
inner join Data.dbo.claim c
on p.specid = c.specid

If they’re in different instances or on different servers, you want to look at setting up a linked server which lets you query between remote databases.

My friend recently quit football and started going to wrestling practices. One of the coaches told him he was not allowed to wrestle until football season was over. I was wondering if anyone can verify his statement and show me in the rulebook? I live in arkansas and go to a private 5A school.

its an institutional rule, not sport rule…………………………………..
