Are meeting and convention planners the same thing as event planners?
Q. I am interested in event planning, if I get my bachelors in public relations, for meeting and convention planning isn't that the same thing as event planning? I would like to work for non profit organizations, and frankly I am confused all around.
Asked by KDE - Mon Jun 16 02:10:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not from my point of view. Meeting and convention planning is about handling large numbers of people and working with the people who know what they want to present to make the presentations successful. Event planning involves creating an event, bringing resources such as entertainment, food, decorating ideas. A meeting planner would deal with the 41st Annual Conference of Professors of Greek Language An event planner would put together a Greek weekend of games and food for the upper managers of XYZ Corp to share and offbeat and rewarding time together.

Why does everyone keep mentioning the Geneva Convention in relation to Japan in WWII?
Q. From information I've gathered Japan had not signed the Geneva Convention so why were they expected to honor it? Why have I heard that they breached the Geneva Convention. I understand how they ignored humanitarian laws but how should it be related to the Geneva convention. I know the Geneva convention was made for numerous reasons to protect prisoners of war, etc, but I still can't relate it.

How does it work to amend the constitution through a constitutional convention?
Q. The Constitution can be amended when 2/3 of the states request that Congress call a constitutional convention. The convention proposes amendments, which then have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states. I found a website called fixittogether.org, which is trying to help people lobby their state legislators to request a convention to propose a balanced budget amendment, a term limits amendment, an amendment to fix the judiciary, and an amendment to prohibit unfunded mandates. These all sound like good ideas to me. Could this really work?
Asked by Calumet - Tue Nov 10 12:04:05 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. At the Constitutional Convention of 1789, the founders created two ways to amend the Constitution. The first one is when Congress proposes an amendment, which must then be ratified by three-fourths of the states. The second method is when two-thirds of the states request it, Congress must call a constitutional convention to propose amendments. This second method has never been used. It was included in the Constitution because the framers feared that some day Congress would become corrupt and refuse to act, even in the face of strong public opinion. It looks like FixitTogether.org states that over 70% of Americans support their proposed amendments. People have been trying to get Congress to pass things like a balanced budget and term… [cont.]

The NAACP national convention is in Cincinnati this summer, will McCain accept his invitation to attend?
Q. According to the local media here in Cincinnati, both candidates have been invited to attend the national NAACP convention. Southwest Ohio is typically supports the Republican candidate. So, do you think McCain will blow off the NAACP convention since he'll pretty much lock up the S.W. Ohio votes anyway? Thoughts? Dodger: 94% of blacks ALWAYS vote DEMOCRAT. This is not something new because of Obama. They voted that way for Clinton too, guess you missed that part huh?
Asked by mr_cj_jr - Thu Jun 26 13:48:48 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I believe Sen.McCain will attend, either live or via satellite. It's rather short-sighted to believe that McCain doesn't need to appear because Obama has the Africa-American vote "locked up". Some people forget there are moderate Republicans and Democrats looking for a more moderate view from the Republican Party. This isn't just about winning 1 segment of the population. President Bush made a terrible mistake of ignoring the NAACP convention year after year. This created the perception, rightly or wrongly, that he didn't care about African Americans. Sadly, this view was reinforced by his inaction after Hurricane Katrina.

A. The torturing of prisoners was a breach of the Geneva Convention according to the darling of the right wing---General Patraeus Gen. Petraeus joined FOX News and Martha MacCallum today and gave a blockbuster interview, but probably not the one Fox expected. Once again, he called for the responsible closure of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. He also said that mistakes were made after 9/11 and that the Army Field Manual is all that we need to use to interrogate prisoners. In addition, he said that we have to have faith in our judicial system and we should try the Khalid Sheikh Muhammads in a court of law.

Asked by Kevin - Tue Oct 13 21:45:56 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Probably the Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The Great Compromise allowed both large and small states to agree to the Constitution without seriously diminishing their power in Congress. The small-population states wanted a Congress with equal representation from all states, and the large-population states wanted a Congress with representation proportional to the number of residents of each state. Connecticut proposed a two-house Congress with a House of Representatives based on population and a Senate comprised of two members from each state, regardless of its population. The Three-Fifths Compromise settled the dispute between Northern states and Southern states over the… [cont.]

A. Major issue: The Articles of Confederation are not working and must be fixed. compromises: 1) Scrap the current constitution aka "articles of confederation" 2) Two houses of congress, one based on equal representation 1 state 2 votes, the other based on population. 3) 2/5th rule. State slave population will be counted as 2 persons for each 5 slaves. 4) President not king, and shall act as if he is not the king. 5) Enumeration of rights- jefferson thought enumeration of rights was unnecessary in a "limited government" and any listing would inevitably omit certain ones and therefore some later judge (Bork, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, etc.) would claim that those listed are the only ones we have.

How does the geforce video card naming convention work now?
Q. It's been some time since I've purchased a geforce vid card. My best guess at the current naming convention is that the first digit of the 4 digits is the "generation" and the second digit is the "tier" or performance level within that generation. Therefore an 8800 is better performance, but older technology than a 9600 and the 9800 is the best, right? (Exclude the newest GTX260/280 that throws yet another naming convention change into the mix.)
Asked by gwava0 - Tue Jul 22 15:07:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The 8800's are better than the 9600's and the 9800's are the 8800's but shrunk down in size. So basically the 9000 series is not much different than the 8000 series. The GTX260/280 are expensive new cards.

Asked by Arisa K - Thu Dec 25 23:10:18 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most conventions won't let you in without an ID, period. The staff doesn't like having to do that and they don't want to ruin anyone's fun, it's just that there is some material at age restricted panels where conventions could get into trouble if minors were there. Cons are typically run by groups of everyday fans -- volunteers -- who can't afford the legal issues that could arise. Also, the convention itself might not be able to run the next year if legal issues happen because most cons don't have that much money carry over from year to year (just enough to cover the deposit it takes to reserve the space) and any legal issues would eat that money right up.

A. I think you need to make an appointment with the artist before hand. At conventions, artist will do on the site tattoos, but I think for the most part they want to show off their work, and will have someone show up to get a good piece put on them. It allows them to showcase their skill. If you show up the first day (if multiple days), early, you might find an artist willing to drill on you...If they're into your idea.

Use fabric paints (either free-hand, or there are special fabric inks you can use with your home computer printer) and transfer designs onto: handkerchiefs, tote bags, fabric bags for computers or hand-held games, tissue holders, t-shirts, headscarfs, etc. Keychains should also be popular, as well as little straps for the cell phone. You might also consider selling original manga.
