Why are there different ways of calculating your Total Cholesterol?
Q. My sister says your total cholesterol should be your HDL + LDL. However, on my last blood test, my HDL + LDL was 10 points lower than my total cholesterol. So, I found some web sites that have the following formula: HDL + LDL + (Triglyceride * 20%) = Total Cholesterol The formula above does work to give me my total cholesterol given the other #'s (HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides) on my last blood test results. But, I want to know why my sister's always come back as: HDL + LDL = Total Cholesterol Some web sites say to calculate it one way and others say the other way. Anyone know why they would be different?

A. Technically, there is no pure cholesterol in your bloodstream. Cholesterol is transported by lipoproteins. LDL (low-density lipoproteins) and HDL (high-density lipoprotiens) are the lipoprotiens used to transport cholesterol. Tests can be run that actually test for the cholesterol, which gives you the total cholesterol number (direct measurement). Or you can run a test for the HDL and LDL cholesterol complexes. You add these values to get a computed total cholesterol. If you run a total cholesterol AND compute it from summing the HDL and LDL cholesterols they should be close, but won't agree exactly. Tests have a margin of error. This is why they won't match exactly. Though triglyerides are often transported by lipoproteins, I don't… [cont.]

A. 2/3 with friend 1/4 on bus 10 miles walking 2/3 + 1/4 = (8 + 3)/12 = 11/12 1 - 11/12 = 1/12 1/12 = 10 miles 2/3 = 8/12 = 8 x 10 = 80 miles 1/4 = 3/12 = 3 x 10 = 30 miles 10 + 80 + 30 = 120 miles.

How do I adjust the subtotal and total amounts in Quickbooks Pro?
Q. The subtotal box on my quickbooks pro invoice shows the tax already calculated. Then the "total" box shows this same amount. How do I change my invoice template so that the subtotal shows the total without the tax already calculated and then the total shows the total of the order with the sales tax? Thanks. I can get to the point where I can edit the invoice but can't figure out how to setup the sales tax correctly.

A. Go to LISTS--TEMPLATES..chooses template to change. Choose additional custimization..Footer tab and choose Footers you want (ie. subtotal, sales tax, total or balance due.) Hope this helps. I am working on 2007 version. Sometimes only the Admin has editing right to templates. You have to set up the sales tax in the item list. Depending on the state you are in, you may have to set up discresionary on top of a flat rate. You will have to do the base/flat rate and the discresionary seperately and then do a new group for them to be linked together.

How do I lower my total bilirubin level without the use of medication?
Q. I recently had a physical, and the results are that my liver panel is too high. According to the laboratory results, my total bilirubin is 1.3. My bilirubin level needs to be within "normal" limits because I am in the process of applying for a position in law enforcement. I have 15 days to get rechecked by a doctor and submit my paperwork. How would I get my bilirubin level down to normal limits without the use of over the counter medicines and prescription drugs? I prefer holistic methods, such as the use of total body cleanses. Would a liver cleanse work? Thanks to all who answer.

A. It is the absolute pressure. One inch of mercury = 0.491161 psi It is negative psi if you are thinking of gauge pressure which is zero at normal atmospheric conditions. The absolute pressure at normal atmospheric conditions is about 14.7 psi.

A. Trevor, just don't get one estimate. There are a lot of companies that finish basements. Get a lot of estimates. Fortunately, there are plenty of local basement contractors (who specialize in finishing them) seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question.

A. I've never added them up in detail, but the live video downlinks amount to (in my ballpark estimate) about 25-30 hours. Consider also that most missions also shot 16mm film which naturally wasn't available until the film was returned and developed, which added up to an hour to each mission's surface cinematography time. Mark Gray's company, linked below, sells DVD transfers of the best surviving sources of the recorded downlinks and film.

A. On interpretation of the question would be: how many pairs of squares are separated by a knight's move ? In the middle of the board, a knight can move to up to eight squares, but on or even closer to the edges, it is less. At the end we divide by 2, since each pair would have been counted twice. Double numbers are: 2 3 4 4 4 4 3 2 = 26 3 4 6 6 6 6 4 3 = 38 4 6 8 8 8 8 6 4 = 52 4 6 8 8 8 8 6 4 = 52 and same thing upside down last 4 rows So double numbers on half the board will be the total. 2 * 4 [ corners ] 3 * 8 [ next to corners on edges ] 4 * 2 * (m - 4 + n - 4) [ middles of edges ] 4 * 4 [ corners of m-2 x n-2 region 6 * 2 * (m - 4 + n - 4) [ middles of rows one in from edge ] 8 * (m-4) * (n-4) [ interior squares have 8 moves ] … [cont.]

Asked by bunty815 - Sun Sep 3 18:15:32 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Too high to count. Well in the millions. You could count up the number of high school students and make some assumptions to get a closer estimate. If you use 17 million high school students, 10% participate in sports you're interested in. Average team size of 10 and 10 events per year give you 170 million! If you assume college is 20% high school and the rest 2%, you'll be somewhere in a big ballpark for an estimate. I'll guess 207.4 million. Let me know how close a guess that is when you have the final answer.

Q. Two resistors are connected in parallel across an ideal 12.0 V battery. Resistor A has a value of 22 ohm and resistor B carries a current of 0.5021 A. What is the total power dissipated in the circuit?
Asked by physics help - Tue Feb 17 10:03:15 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Peter H posted a good and correct solution. Below is another solution without needing the total current. Because both resistors are in parallel across the battery, then the entire battery voltage appears across each resistor. For resistor A, we know it has a voltage drop of 12v and a resistance of 22 . We have enough information to calculate the power it dissipates (using Ohm's Law). For resistor B, we know it has a voltage drop of 12v and a current of 0.5021a. We have enough information to calculate the power it dissipates (using Ohm's Law). Now just add the two power dissipation values to obtain the total power dissipated in the circuit.
