Open Question: desperately seeking a residential program for my son?
After spending 6 months identifying a program for my son who has ADD and behavioral issues the school shut down. He went for several months after I spent 3 months in discussions with them and finally convinced them to work with me based on my catastrophic financial situation. I am going through a very difficult divorce and my husband is basically taking everything from the house to health insurance to car insurance away from us. He was abusive and I had him taken out of the house. He now is on a mission to destroy us all. With that, I have no place for my son to go to school in the fall. He has special needs and requires a structured atmosphere in a residential program that will fulfill his personal needs. He loved the school I had found for him and now remains in limbo. I greatly appreciate any suggestions on how I will find a good program that will work with us financially at this late date. Financial aid is no longer an option in most programs and the district will require a fight to assist us. Please help!

Open Question: Am I dying? I'm vomiting blood...?
I'm vomiting blood and constantly have diarrhea. I have little energy and lost 20 pounds in 3 months. I'm now 130 pounds at 6'2. I also have yellow colored eyes and I keep having a pain in my chest like a knife wound. I don't have any health insurance and I'm alone. What should I do? I don't want to affect my credit in America.

Resolved Question: How does a medical insurance deductible work?
I'm a little confused- I'm looking up health insurance plans (I haven't been to a doctor since 1997) and I'm not sure I understand deductibles. Many plans say they won't pay for medical costs until you pay the deductible, say for example $5000. Does that mean you have to send $5000 all at once to the insurance company before you can start using your medical benefits (dr.office visits, ER visits, etc.)? If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't be looking for health insurance, I'd just buy the healthcare upfront, lol.

Voting Question: Will my prescription meds show up in a pre-employment drug screening?? Need Legit answers, not speculation.?
Now before anyone goes and thinks im a pill popper or addict here's what im trying to figure out... I am having a job interview with a company that is extremely nosy when it comes to the medical history of its interviewees. I know this because i interviewed with them a few years ago for a position only to find out that my bmi was too high to work for them at the time and that they wont hire smokers. The nurses who assessed my medical history had all sorts of questions concerning my health and prescription drug consumption. Basically because this company doesn't want to hire anyone who is sick or on a lot of meds because they strive to keep their operational costs (health insurance premiums included) Low. So here's what i take... I started to take Wellbutrin or generic Budrepion as an aid for smoking cessation a few years back. Once i started taking it i realized what other positive effects it had on my persona and my doctor advised that i stay on it. I also on occasion take xanax, not every day, but maybe 1 every few days when my anxiety gets really high. I need to know if either of these meds will show up in a urine test or a hair follicle test. If not, then i shouldn't have to disclose my private medical information to this greedy company. Its amazing that they will pass over the best quailfied candidate for a job for the smallest health concern BTW, I dont feel comfortable disclosing what company it is that i am interviewing for, but i will say it is a union job, for a fortune 100 company that has some strange pre-employment polcies. And the strangest thing of all is that once you work there you can have as many issues and be as morbidly overweight as you want and they will put you on leave and pay you to get better and/or loose weight.

Open Question: My girlfriend is pregnant and she just lost her job? Which means she lost her health coverage?
My fiancé is pregnant? Shes going to be laid off in a couple weeks. She had health insurance through her job but thats going to be end once shes laid off. I can add her to health plan but its going to cost an extra $500 a month. I just cant afford that right now. Especially with her not working. We live in California is the any other options. Also the job less was all of sudden. This came out of blue. Now she wont be able to take a maternity leave. Is she eligible for unemployment or disability? We save up enough money to get by for a couple a month or two but Im not sure how much its going to last. Thanks for help in advance. Thank for all of your help. I really appreciate it. We are going to the county office today to apply for medi-cal. She had been going to Kaiser but Im not sure if Kaiser accepts medi-cal. When any of you heard of AIM. I would rather pay a discounted rate than get it for free. Im able to pay at least 100-200 a month. I dont really want the state to take care of my child or her when Im able too. also my girl friend had so issue with unemployment before. They over paid her and she had to pay this back. Not sure she will be able to get unemployment now.

The depth of field of a camera and lens combination increases as the imaging area decreases, for a given f-number. This may have plusses for point and shoot compact digital cameras since they are intended for taking snapshots. More of the image will be in focus than with a larger sensor and the autofocus system does not need to be as accurate to produce an acceptable image. Conversely, photographers often hold back the depth of field to create certain effects, such as isolating a subject from its background. Cameras with imaging areas smaller than 36 mm x 24 mm require a wider aperture on the lens to achieve the same degree of selective focusing.
Pixel noise and light sensitivity are both related to pixel size, which is in turn related to sensor size and resolution. As the resolution of sensors increase, the size of the individual pixels has to decrease. This smaller pixel size means that each one collects less light and the resulting signal is amplified more to produce the final value. This also amplifies any noise. With a smaller signal, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases. More noise is present in the image and the higher noise floor means that less useful information is extracted from the darker parts of the image.
Many digital SLRs use lens mounts originally designed for film cameras. If the camera has a smaller sensor than the lens intended film frame, its field of view is cropped. This crop factor is often called a focal length multiplier because the effect can be calculated by multiplying the focal length of the lens. For lenses that are not designed for a smaller imaging area whilst using the 35 mm-compatible lens mount, this has the beneficial side effect of only using the centre part of the lens, where the image quality is in some aspects higher.
Normally only expensive digital SLRs have full-frame sensors that are 36mm 24 mm, which eliminate depth of field and crop factor problems when compared to 35 mm film cameras.
The smaller sensor size of digital compact means that prints are a massive enlargement of the original picture and that the lens must perform well in order to provide enough quality to match the tiny pixels on the sensor. Most digital compacts have sensors that exceed the maximum resolution that the lens is capable of delivering. Increased sensor resolution may even have a negative effect on the overall resolution because of increased noise reduction and in camera processing.
Cleanliness
DSLR cameras are susceptible to dust problems because the sensor remains in place, where a film advances through the camera for each frame . There is a risk of debris in the camera, such as dust or sand, scratching the film; a single grain of sand can damage a whole roll of film. As film cameras age, they can develop wear in their rollers. With a digital SLR, dust is difficult to avoid, but easy to rectify using a computer with photo editing software available. Some digital SLRs have systems that remove dust from the sensor by vibrating or knocking it, sometimes in conjunction with software that remembers where dust is located and removes dust-affected pixels from photography .
Compact digital cameras are fitted with fixed lenses; dust does not enter the imaging area. Similar film cameras are often only light tight and not environmentally sealed. Some modern DSLRs, most notably are the high end Pentax models, use extensive dust and weather seals to avoid this problem.
Integrity
Film produces an original, which contains only the information admitted through the aperture of the camera.
Film images are very difficult to fabricate, thus in police investigation and in cases where the authenticity of an image is critical, like passport or visa photographs, film provides greater security over most digital cameras as digital files may have been modified using a computer. If someone modifies an authenticated image, it can be determined with special software.
Archiving
Films and prints, processed and stored in ideal conditions, may remain substantially unchanged for more than 100 years. Gold or platinum toned prints may have a lifespan limited by that of the base material.
It is important to consider the future readability of storage media. Assuming the storage media can continue to hold data for prolonged periods of time, the short lifespan of digital technologies often causes the drives to read media to become unavailable. For example, the first 5-inch Floppy disks were first made available in 1976. However, the drives to read them are already extremely rare 30 years later.
The ability to decode the data is important. Digital cameras save photographs in JPEG format, that has existed for approximately 15 years. Because the instructions on how to decode this format are publicly known, it is unlikely that this files will be unreadable in the future.
Many professional cameras can save in a RAW image format, the future of which is less certain. Some of these formats contain proprietary data which is encrypted by patents, and could be abandoned by their makers at any time for economic reasons. This could make it difficult to read these files in the future, unless the camera manufacturers were to release information on the file formats.
Additionally many companies take an proactive approach to archiving rather than relying on formats being readable decades later. This takes advantage of the ability to make perfect copies of digital media. So, rather than leaving data on a format which may potentially become unreadable or unsupported, the information can typically be copied to newer media without loss of quality. This is only possible with digital media. Digital images may be printed and stored like traditional photographs.
Convenience and flexibility
With digital imaging, images may be conveniently stored on a personal computer for modification. Professional-grade digital cameras can store pictures in a raw image format which stores the output from the sensor directly rather than processing it immediately to an image. When edited in suitable software, such as Adobe Photoshop or the GNU program GIMP (which uses dcraw to read raw files), the user may manipulate certain parameters of the image, such as contrast, sharpness or colour balance, before producing a final image. Alternatively, users may retouch the content of recorded JPEG images; software for this purpose may be provided with consumer-grade cameras.
Digital photography allows the collection of large amounts of archival documents in a short period of time which has many benefits for the researcher including convenience, saving money and an increased flexibility in using the documents.
Price
Film and digital imaging systems have different cost basis . With digital photography, cameras tend to be significantly more expensive than film equivalents. With digital cameras, taking photographs is effectively cost-free. The price of digital cameras continues to fall and using film may be seen as more expensive than digital.
Good quality film cameras are less complicated and therefore less expensive. The major expenses are ongoing film and processing costs. The professional photographer will only identify unsuitable images after developing and printing have been paid for.
Film offers the photographer more control over the depth-of-field than a DSLR with an APS sensor, and the cost of full-frame sensor cameras may be very high. 35 mm single-lens reflex cameras may be purchased for a fraction of the price of a full-frame DSLR. Some lenses are interchangeable between digital and film cameras; film can be an attractive introduction to photography because of this.
The costs associated with digital photography are specialist batteries, memory cards, paper, printer ink cartridges and long-term storage.
With many photographers switching to digital, film cameras and lenses are now available on the second-hand market at often much-reduced prices, allowing for semi-professional and even professional film cameras to be owned by people who would once never have been able to afford them.
