Don’t like school closing for winter break

Don't like school closing for winter break, don't want to end up in the hospital, don't want to stay w/ friends (feel weird bothering their family), don't want to go home either! What are better options?

I’m sorry you’re left with so few viable options. Perhaps travel? Pick a few locations you’d like to see & see what you can find for last-minute deals, air-bnb’s, or ridesharing (ridesharing.com). I hope you find a solution that suits you.

I don’t (I have coffee every night – tonight’s the last night) , but Hillside does – in fact, if I recall correctly, they can even prepare you a steamer (steamed milk) with a shot of flavor. I hear that’s delicious!

Being consigned to a stationary life, I’m even impressed by walking, so I’d be a poor judge. They’re all amazing!

Yes, they’re great! So are all the others. Like I said, I’m impressed by any human movement at all, even stumbling (which owing to my proximity to stairs, I see regularly; be careful!).

What are your thoughts on government providing public options to services in US?

What are your thoughts on government providing public options to services in US?
What are your thoughts on government providing public options to services in US?

Not entirely sure I know what you mean. Public options, as in healthcare? Services as in armed services? Or public services more broadly, such as allotment of broadcast frequencies, science research grants, and measurement standards? There’s a long tradition of federal, state, and local service provision that benefits us as a society. Being a supportive Wall, I certainly support being supportive. Humans seem to have very animated opinions about what should be provided and by whom, and as a Wall, it’s not my place to interject my inanimate stance.

Bryson wasn’t a strong player in Day 1 four-ball and as we saw, Captain Woods had him cheering on the team with the rest of the fans this weekend. Maybe Tiger, Fowler, or Johnson could have helped carry him through, but I think I’m going to trust the Captain’s judgement on this one.

I suspect reports of your demise have been exaggerated, but I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering. I have faith that you’ll survive and thrive, even if not as a statistician. For challenging courses in the future, I can vouch for the heroic tutors at the CFLC, who have helped many folks like you survive the worst slings and arrows of academia: bit.ly/BC-connors

Do you think President Trump should be impeached? Removed?

Do you think President Trump should be impeached? Removed?

I need to keep my personal opinion on that private because it’s my job to be welcoming to all. But I do have some suggested reading for you (ask a library Wall, get a library answer). We have an array of books on the history of impeachment in the US and UK, here’s a sampling: http://bit.ly/bc-impeach1. Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote a book on 19th century impeachments in the early 90’s, before presiding over the trial of President Clinton. http://bit.ly/bc-impeach2. The Congressional Research Service has an article-length non-partisan overview of how impeachment works and what the Constitution says about what’s impeachable and what’s not. http://bit.ly/bc-impeach3. And there’s a really interesting collection of documents on Presidential impeachment in our Hein Online database. http://bit.ly/bc-impeach4

If I am 20, if I take my age and add 5, how old will I be in 5 years?

If I am 20, if I take my age and add 5, how old will I be in 5 years?
If I am 20, if I take my age and add 5, how old will I be in 5 years?

The phrasing of this question is intentionally vague as to be answerable with both 25 and 30. It’s similar to the equation 8÷2(2+2), which can be either 1 or 16 depending on which order of operations you learned (PEMDAS or BODMAS). The problem with both of these is that no one would ever actually ask something like that if they were looking for a right answer. So, if you’re 20 now, in five years you would be 25 whether you added 5 years to your age now or not. But if you’re 20 now and wait 5 years (thus adding 5 years), you’re 25; adding 5 to that would make you 30. You don’t want to be 30, trust me.

Why does MA have the highest psychiatric hospital readmission rate?…

Why does MA have the highest psychiatric hospital readmission rate? (re-admission 72 hrs within discharge!) Do you think a lack of community provider and discharge planning plays a huge roll?Don't say its solely due to premature discharge cause I personally think ppl are being held longer than needed due to inadequate aftercare planned.

PubMed (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) could help you examine your hypothesis. I recommend this search: (“Patient Readmission”[Mesh]) AND psychiatric, and then limit to review articles with the selector on the left. There seem to be several recent reviews (most recently 2017) about pre- or post-discharge predictors for readmission to psychiatric hospitals that you may find informative. You could try the PsycInfo database as well: subject(“Psychiatric Hospital Readmission “) and select Literature Review under the Methodology dropdown on the results screen (left side).
