York Air conditioning Commercial, who is the gitar player who whistles?

Do I need to leave the air conditioning unit that I purchased in the commercial building that I am vacating? Okay, so my restaurant has been operating in the same location for 7 years. We have never had a lease, always have been on month-to-month rent. Next week we are moving to a new spot. My question is, six years ago we installed an additional a/c unit in this building to accommodate our patrons, bringing the total of a/c units to three. Since we never had a lease agreement, can I take the new unit with me since the original two units will still be in place. Essentially I will be leaving the space as I originally rented it... Don't know if it makes any difference or not, but I am in Kansas.

What responsibility does the landlord have for centrail air condiitoning in a commercial property? I currently rent a 1300 square foot unit in a strip mall. Its becoming clear that the landlord doesn't want to put any money into the building. Today the air conditioning stopped working. I cleaned all the filters and it seemed to blow more air but it wasn't cold and it reached 86 and I have a dog grooming salon so I can't have it that hot with dogs in there. My landlord said they would fix it this time because I just moved in, but they are not repsonsible next time??? Why not, isn't that part of the building? Its in Massachusetts if that matters. Please help.

Air Conditioning Question..If you open doors and windows & keep 3 airconditioners on, what happens?

Air conditioning problem on semi-truck? I have a 2004 Volvo 780 (commercial truck) with a 500 HP Cummins ISX motor. I don't know if there are any diesel techs or air conditioning people here but maybe someone can help. :) Anyhow, the air conditioning system freezes up CONSTANTLY. Humid or dry, cool or hot. It cools OK for a while and then we notice it's not blowing air anymore, we shut off the fan or the compressor and it thaws out. I have changed the filter in the cab and sleeper twice to no avail. Have had the duct system cleaned out with some sort of acid that's supposed to clean the grime and stuff off the coils, didn't work either. Just wondering if this may be something simple, perhaps worth trying a can of R-134, or do I need to go in for service? Any ideas appreciated :)

Is the landlord responsible to fix air conditioner unit for commercial lease? My husband is a pastor of a small church in Tulsa, Ok. We sublease a building. The heat and air has not worked properly since we move in in Dec. The landlord has worked on getting it fixed (a $9000 new unit on the roof). But it is still not working (at all now). We have told him we need it fixed because it will be warm soon, and people will not attend if there is no air conditioning. We have said we don't want to pay another rent payment ($2800) until it is working properly. Every month at rent time he says it will be fixed, we pay, and nothing happens. He now says he is not responsible to fix it, the person we sub lease from is, or we are. He says he will lock the doors if we do not pay immediately. Can he do that , and is he responsible to fix it? What can we do to get him to fix it? We really don't want to move.

Why do people answer questions that they know nothing about?? I work on commercial air conditioners for a living. I mostly answer questions on here about air conditioners. I have noticed that so many other people answer these questions too. These are people who know nothing about an air conditioning system and often answer the question by telling the person to call a qualified technician. Obviously the people are on here asking a question in hopes to avoid the hassle and $$$ involved with calling a service company. It's either that or some totally off the wall bull_shit answer that makes no sense at all. Why do people waste all of our time answering questions when they have no clue what they are talking about?? "Call a technician" is not a good answer. That totally defeats the purpose of asking a question on here. I am ho0nestly just trying to help people with their AC problems. I don't care about Yahoo Answers points. I think that I have helped a lot of people with simple home owner typ solutions to their air conditioner problems. This kind of stuff can be an emergency as we have already had at leat 11 heat related deaths in the St. Louis metro area this year.

fraudulent claims against security deposit? We had a business lease in a shopping center. We moved out on 12/31/07 and returned the keys to the landlord. We called on 1/21/08 to obtain our security deposit, and she indicating (over the phone) that when she entered the property, neither of the 2 commercial air conditions worked. (mind you, we had the power shut off on 12/31) We had the units serviced in November and they worked fine when we left. How do I prove she is lying in order to charge us for 2 new AC units? from 2 answers: She was actually out of town when we dropped of the key (had business partner sign for receipt). I took at least 50 pictures of everything upon exiting, and we have at least 40 customers to attest to the fact that the a/c units work. We had been arguing with her in the last few months about the a/c units specifically (because she wouldn't get them serviced) and ended up just doing it ourselves. The units are old and have never worked well. We think she is now using this opportunity to get them replaced w/o having to use her own money.

Is paranoia a basic mental disorder in those who oppose global warming? The persons setting up this warning system against global warming, suffer from a specific psychiatric disorder, born out of fear of change, fear of being unable to control things in their environment and fear of insecurity from the environment. These are specific symptoms of paranoia. You can oppose global warming because you fear something will happen to you if the weather gets too warm, obviously a symptom of paranoia where the ones pushing the global warning fear -panic contend that a 2 degrees warming would disrupt mankind’s life, including the life of those who are susceptible to episodic fears. Thus these emotionally unbalanced join their ranks of the anti global warning interests ( producers, sellers and distributors of heating fuels, for instance), and succumb to the lies of those whose monetary goals urges them to be manipulators or the emotionally and psychiatrically disturbed, to conceal themselves from public opinion as a single commercial group. If you don’t like the weather, you can move elsewhere, use air conditioning or take other measures to adapt to a 2 degree weather change. Unless of course, you also are on that lunatic fringe, worried about vicious beasts such as polar bears and their possible (and good) extinction as if this is no longer a man’s world, but a polar bear’s world, whose violent predatory acts must dominate. Those kind of folks, for sure have been mourning the loss of dinasours, wishing they were still around and using their disappearance as an indication of some global weather change. It appears that the whole global warming paranoia is a joint venture of greedy business interests, who have manipulated the paranoids into their ranks, as they stumble about trying to portray a common cause.

What types of secured transactions are there for secured loans? Secured transactions are those that create a legal obligation to pay and collateral is attached, such as a car loan. If you can't pay the car off, the bank takes it back. There are many types of secured transactions, such as in manufacturing when a company delivers goods on credit, like commercial air conditioners (for instance). Let's say new building is going up and needs a large air conditioning unit, well it is delivered and upon completion of the building the air conditioner manufacturer gets paid. So, in this case, the manufacturer would secure the transaction. My question is, what is the actual paper called. It's not a mortgage it's a ........?

Something to think about! So why not legalize it and make money, and stop terisom.? By Smokey, 5-05-06 (marijuana myths courtesy of twotonetony) MARIJUANA, MYTHS ABOUT MARIJUANA, AND OTHER NON-"STONER" REASONS THAT MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGALIZED. First of all, this is information on marijuana from a purely factual stand point, so even if you are against marijuana PLEASE READ THIS. there are too many ignorant people against marijuana...you dont have to smoke it to be for it's legalization. MARIJUANA MYTHS 1. Marijuana causes brain damage The most celebrated study that claims to show brain damage is the rhesus monkey study of Dr. Robert Heath, done in the late 1970s. This study was reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists sponsored by the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. Their results were published under the title, Marijuana and Health in 1982. Heath's work was sharply criticized for its insufficient sample size (only four monkeys), its failure to control experimental bias, and the misidentification of normal monkey brain structure as "damaged". Actual studies of human populations of marijuana users have shown no evidence of brain damage. For example, two studies from 1977, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed no evidence of brain damage in heavy users of marijuana. That same year, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially came out in favor of decriminalizing marijuana. That's not the sort of thing you'd expect if the AMA thought marijuana damaged the brain. 2. Marijuana damages the reproductive system This claim is based chiefly on the work of Dr. Gabriel Nahas, who experimented with tissue (cells) isolated in petri dishes, and the work of researchers who dosed animals with near-lethal amounts of cannabinoids (i.e., the intoxicating part of marijuana). Nahas' generalizations from his petri dishes to human beings have been rejected by the scientific community as being invalid. In the case of the animal experiments, the animals that survived their ordeal returned to normal within 30 days of the end of the experiment. Studies of actual human populations have failed to demonstrate that marijuana adversely affects the reproductive system. 3. Marijuana is a "gateway" drug -- it leads to hard drugs This is one of the more persistent myths. A real world example of what happens when marijuana is readily available can be found in Holland. The Dutch partially legalized marijuana in the 1970s. Since then, hard drug use -- heroin and cocaine -- have DECLINED substantially. If marijuana really were a gateway drug, one would have expected use of hard drugs to have gone up, not down. This apparent "negative gateway" effect has also been observed in the United States. Studies done in the early 1970s showed a negative correlation between use of marijuana and use of alcohol. A 1993 Rand Corporation study that compared drug use in states that had decriminalized marijuana versus those that had not, found that where marijuana was more available -- the states that had decriminalized -- hard drug abuse as measured by emergency room episodes decreased. In short, what science and actual experience tell us is that marijuana tends to substitute for the much more dangerous hard drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and heroin. 4. Marijuana suppresses the immune system Like the studies claiming to show damage to the reproductive system, this myth is based on studies where animals were given extremely high -- in many cases, near-lethal -- doses of cannabinoids. These results have never been duplicated in human beings. Interestingly, two studies done in 1978 and one done in 1988 showed that hashish and marijuana may have actually stimulated the immune system in the people studied. 5. Marijuana is much more dangerous than tobacco Smoked marijuana contains about the same amount of carcinogens as does an equivalent amount of tobacco. It should be remembered, however, that a heavy tobacco smoker consumes much more tobacco than a heavy marijuana smoker consumes marijuana. This is because smoked tobacco, with a 90% addiction rate, is the most addictive of all drugs while marijuana is less addictive than caffeine. Two other factors are important. The first is that paraphernalia laws directed against marijuana users make it difficult to smoke safely. These laws make water pipes and bongs, which filter some of the carcinogens out of the smoke, illegal and, hence, unavailable. The second is that, if marijuana were legal, it would be more economical to have cannabis drinks like bhang (a traditional drink in the Middle East) or tea which are totally non-carcinogenic. This is in stark contrast with "smokeless" tobacco products like snuff which can cause cancer of the mouth and throat. When all ofthese facts are taken together, it can be clearly seen that the reverse is true: marijuana is much SAFER than tobacco. 6. Legal marijuana would cause carnage on the highways Although marijuana, when used to intoxication, does impair performance in a manner similar to alcohol, actual studies of the effect of marijuana on the automobile accident rate suggest that it poses LESS of a hazard than alcohol. When a random sample of fatal accident victims was studied, it was initially found that marijuana was associated with RELATIVELY as many accidents as alcohol. In other words, the number of accident victims intoxicated on marijuana relative to the number of marijuana users in society gave a ratio similar to that for accident victims intoxicated on alcohol relative to the total number of alcohol users. However, a closer examination of the victims revealed that around 85% of the people intoxicated on marijuana WERE ALSO INTOXICATED ON ALCOHOL. For people only intoxicated on marijuana, the rate was much lower than for alcohol alone. This finding has been supported by other research using completely different methods. For example, an economic analysis of the effects of decriminalization on marijuana usage found that states that had reduced penalties for marijuana possession experienced a rise in marijuana use and a decline in alcohol use with the result that fatal highway accidents decreased. This would suggest that, far from causing "carnage", legal marijuana might actually save lives. 7. Marijuana "flattens" human brainwaves This is an out-and-out lie perpetrated by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. A few years ago, they ran a TV ad that purported to show, first, a normal human brainwave, and second, a flat brainwave from a 14-year-old "on marijuana". When researchers called up the TV networks to complain about this commercial, the Partnership had to pull it from the air. It seems that the Partnership faked the flat "marijuana brainwave". In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly INCREASING alpha wave activity. Alpha waves are associated with meditative and relaxed states which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity. 8. Marijuana is more potent today than in the past This myth is the result of bad data. The researchers who made the claim of increased potency used as their baseline the THC content of marijuana seized by police in the early 1970s. Poor storage of this marijuana in un-air conditioned evidence rooms caused it to deteriorate and decline in potency before any chemical assay was performed. Contemporaneous, independent assays of unseized "street" marijuana from the early 1970s showed a potency equivalent to that of modern "street" marijuana. Actually, the most potent form of this drug that was generally available was sold legally in the 1920s and 1930s by the pharmaceutical company Smith-Klein under the name, "American Cannabis". 9. Marijuana impairs short-term memory This is true but misleading. Any impairment of short-term memory disappears when one is no longer under the influence of marijuana. Often, the short-term memory effect is paired with a reference to Dr. Heath's poor rhesus monkeys to imply that the condition is permanent. 10. Marijuana lingers in the body like DDT This is also true but misleading. Cannabinoids are fat soluble as are innumerable nutrients and, yes, some poisons like DDT. For example, the essential nutrient, Vitamin A, is fat soluble but one never hears people who favor marijuana prohibition making this comparison. 11. There are over a thousand chemicals in marijuana smoke Again, true but misleading. The 31 August 1990 issue of the magazine Science notes that of the over 800 volatile chemicals present in roasted COFFEE, only 21 have actually been tested on animals and 16 of these cause cancer in rodents. Yet, coffee remains legal and is generally considered fairly safe. 12. No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose This is true. It was put in to see if you are paying attention. Animal tests have revealed that extremely high doses of cannabinoids are needed to have lethal effect. This has led scientists to conclude that the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. In other words, to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses. This is what the government won't tell to us Americans. They are too stubborn to take back a law that has been in place for 69 years (Marijuana Tax Act of 1937). Along with making marijuana illegal, the government spends billions of dollars each year fighting the drug war to keep marijuana and other drugs out of this country. Now i would like you to think of one person in this country that is unable to obtain marijuana or any other drug. If marijuana was legal, it would be create a market in the USA and there would be no reason for drug smuggling. Because marijuana would then be contained in the USA and smuggling would no longer be a problem, the government could much more easily control the use of the substance. Since everyone would now be buying their marijuana from stores in the USA, there would be a tax on this creating billions more in revenue for the government to add on to the billions no longer being spent on the war against marijuana. A very high % of prisoners are non-violent drug offenders. With marijuana legalized, we wouldnt have to worry about drug dealers as much, which means less people going to prison, which in turn means more tax money to spend on something more important, like the HUGE deficit we have managed to create. Marijuana might be a harmful substance, but so are many other substances that are legal, many of which are much more harmful. Marijuana is actually EASIER to obtain because it is illegal and is costing us billions of dollars to make it easier, why would we want to do that? I hope you feel more informed after this. PLEASE REPOST THIS, whether you are for or against its legalization, people need to know the facts, not just that marijuana gets you high and screws up your life (which for the most part is not true). Also, tell everyone you know about these facts. Marijuana should be legal and the government will not do anything about it unless we stand up and voice the TRUTH I have noticed that alot of people have left a message. Saying people that do this are lazy and do not get anywhere in life. Tell that to the lawyers, Judges, and politions that are for it. and smoke it them selves. Am I wrong or do some people that abuse alcohol lazy to. Hell you can be lazy without doing any kind of drug. Saying everybody is lazy because they smoke, is being racist against the ones that are not lazy. Just like different cultures, I guess all white people are the same, Or all black people are the same. I guess sence some alcoholics get vilent when they drink then all people who drink are vilent. Does that make since, I dont think so.

Gift idea? i want to get a gift for my landlord because he went against our contract and fixed an air conditioning unit that would have cost me $4500 to fix. my land lord is a 60 year old white male. i d not know what he likes, so that is why i need everyones help. btw it was at a commercial rental space. not resedential

Did you ever ride a Trailways Bus? I still remember the commercial. "For the easiest travel on earth, take a Trailways, take a Trailways bus." .......... Take an air condition Trailways bus." Well I remembered some of it. Justme - it is just a bus that you could take to many destinations around the country when you didn't want to pay alot of money for an airplane or train tickets. Grandpa - I think they may be out of business.

Why do commercial charter buses keep their engines running for hours in parking lots? I've noticed that charter buses keep their engines running for up to an entire day while their groups are out doing things. I work at an aquarium, and I've witnessed a bus sit, running, in the parking lot from 6:45am when the group checked in until after 6pm when the group left. As someone who is conscious about carbon emissions, it irks me to have a bus spewing diesel in our own parking lot! Is there a good excuse to keep the engine running or is it simply that the driver wants the air-conditioning on? One thing that I'll add is that groups who are housed at the aquarium for extended periods of time (several days) always give a room to the bus driver. Therefore, the driver doesn't have to sit in the bus if he or she doesn't want to. In addition, drivers are welcome to accompany groups into the aquarium free of charge.

Logo Design Company? We are a 10 yrs+ small to medium sized HVACR/IAQ (Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning Refrigeration /Indoor Air Quality) company that is in desperate need of a logo and possibly website design. I have tried a few companies but no one has designed something that i feel fits the image we would like to portray. We cater to the high-end residential market as well as the light-commercial market (think, convenience stores, department stores, medium sized stuff not labeled residential). Currently, we have no logo, no advertising program, no identity on any of our trucks etc., but yet we hold a golden (if i may say it) reputation where we're known. Now we would like to bring out the professional side of a company we've worked hard to build and it's seeming slightly difficult. Right now we're looking strictly for a digital logo that can be used in a marketing program. Any help you can offer would be great! I can provide more details if necessary. We are not attempting to create a brand to attract new customers but to further instill confidence, pride and awareness in the places we work i.e. Oh hey I know them! That's my HVAC company!! lol! :) Also, being completely incognito is unprofessional in my opinion. For example, if I call a plumbing co. and they show up in my driveway in an unmarked vehicle how can I quickly and confidently identify who has arrived? We are pros and our actions should be transparent, not suspicious. P.S. Have you ever seen a cable or telephone company's truck out roaming the streets at 12 or 1 am? What were your first thoughts? Yes, we have paid these companies to make an attempt at designing a logo. We have a budget but so far that has not been the issue. The issue rather seems to be lack of creativity. :(

Who is the woman in the Zyrtec commercial? I think it's one of the most recent ones because I saw it for the first time today. The woman has RED hair. It's pretty long and she has bangs. It starts with her inside a house talking about air conditioning then she goes outside and I think she rides a bike. It's NOT the one with the woman in the yellow top or the one holding a dog (I saw people have already asked questions about those ones). I don't actually need her name, I just want a PICTURE because I really want to get my hair done like that. Please help, her hair is a perfect example to show my stylist! I found the commercial on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trzJ3Y-i5-Q Can anyone find a still frame from it? Screen shots are coming out too blurry.

how is the other countries(enenemy or friendly) aircrafts are dealt in war and peace -for unusual landing? under all circumstances no commercial aircrafts are permitted in war zone, in the event of emergency landing how do they behave, and also claimate change --some uncomfortable condition like criminal activity. IS there any mercy for the army air crafts for the reasons of hit damge to air crafts and piotets

Cracked pipe upstairs caused rain downstairs in my garage. Fixed the pipe, but afraid of mold and wet ceiling I came home from work, only to notice it's raining in my garage. I ran upstairs to notice that the old pipe under my sink was busted and flowing water for hours. I have an air vent right under my sink so all the water poured into the air conditioning vent, and the base of the air conditioning vent goes to the garage. The damage wasn't hard to fix, just replaced the old rusty pipe with a PVC pipe, what really worries me are the ceilings of the garage. Almost the whole ceiling is a yellowish color now and I don't know if the air conditioning vents will mold or not. I called up commercial help and they said they will have to remove the entire ceiling, remove all the vents and replace it with new ones and told me it will cost over 5000$. I don't have that kind of money, shouldn't a heavy duty dehumidifier do the job?

How long after repairing bad credit could you be eligible for a new loan for school/training? I have atrocious credit. 2 defaults, various revolving accounts, and numerous collections that have made their way onto the report. I also don't have a co-sign. For the better part of the last 3 years I had recurring, misdiagnosed conditions that prevented me from working steady. I want to fly helicopters, but the cost of school is so that it would be faster to pay off debt and get a loan to complete training (leg > commercial pilot), than it would be to save money and pay out of pocket. It's also maybe the right thing to do. I know items stay on the report for ~7 years, but, even with bad history, if you don't actually owe anyone anymore I would have a better chance I would assume. Even if it's not helicopters, I need to finish school. I have 70 hours and lack 8hours for an associates in aviation science (air traffic control), but I haven't been able to get a job in the field. So instead of "finishing" school I should say I need to go back and get some other type of training. one or two classes? where did you study? At Thomas edison state 8 hours is 8 classes, roughly $1100 just to register. I did know about the fafsa already, I couldn't submit it because of tax information and vet status problems. Working to fix it.

Since commercial jet-a, fuel doesnt burn unless under extreme pressure, why did it burn in the Trade Towers? Commercial jet fuel, jet-A, will not burn except under extreme pressure found in the engines of the plane. So, given that an additive IS added to commercial jet fuel to frevent combustion except under controlled conditions, Why then did it continue to burn in the Trade Towers? Anyone who wants can verify my statement about Jet-A can check with the F.A.A., or the Department of Transportation. This seems awfully suspicious. I have also looked at several dvd's I own about Sept 11th, and a pod of some kind can be clearly seen on the bottom of the plane striking Tower Two, clearly marking it as a military plane. Plus, there are numerous witnesses who claim that the plane had no windows, was grey, not white, and had a blue circular emblem on the front of the fusalage, clearly marking it as United States Air Force. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5239334224660559722 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5239334224660559722 And, before answering, please check your facts, this includes the idiot who claims to be a pilot, not doubt a private plane pilot, not commercial. Jet -A goes out after about 3 seconds. I know my facts on this. I'll bet NONE of you will check out the url I posted with my question before answering, either. April, get a clue, here's a quarter.

Do charities generally help the people they propose to help? I'm very skeptical most charities actually help the people they propose to help. Red Cross is horribly managed. For years these Sunday Africa commercials are on the air, but they never seem to improve conditions. News reports about management indicate that most of the donated money goes to administration and overhead costs - only a trickle makes it to the people who need it. When rice was brought to North Korea, it was horded and sold to the highest bidder while starved people died in the streets - literally. Charities seem to buy themselves a job and do little to help the people, they help themselves. Hard to blame charities in dictatorships? When a charity mis-represents itself or it's effectiveness in reaching the people who need the help, that is deserving of blame. On television we see children fed. Behind closed doors, people fight each other for scraps. Knowing this, charities continue to perpetuate the image they succeed for all. Hard to blame? When a charity absorbs roughly 70% to 80% of the donations for overhead, they are to blame for lack of efficiency.

Is anti-global warming driven by paranoia and monetary greed in union with each other? The persons setting up this warning system against global warming, suffer from a specific psychiatric disorder, born out of fear of change, fear of being unable to control things in their environment and fear of insecurity from the environment. These are specific symptoms of paranoia. You can oppose global warming because you fear something will happen to you if the weather gets too warm, obviously a symptom of paranoia where the ones pushing the global warning fear -panic contend that a 2 degrees warming would disrupt mankind’s life, including the life of those who are susceptible to episodic fears. Thus these emotionally unbalanced join their ranks of the anti global warning interests ( producers, sellers and distributors of heating fuels, for instance), and succumb to the lies of those whose monetary goals urges them to be manipulators or the emotionally and psychiatrically disturbed, to conceal themselves from public opinion as a single commercial group. If you don’t like the weather, you can move elsewhere, use air conditioning or take other measures to adapt to a 2 degree weather change. Unless of course, you also are on that lunatic fringe, worried about vicious beasts such as polar bears and their possible (and good) extinction as if this is no longer a man’s world, but a polar bear’s world, whose violent predatory acts must dominate. Those kind of folks, for sure have been mourning the loss of dinasours, wishing they were still around and using their disappearance as an indication of some global weather change. It appears that the whole global warming paranoia is a joint venture of greedy business interests, who have manipulated the paranoids into their ranks, as they stumble about trying to portray a common cause.

good Gift idea? i want to get a gift for my landlord because he went against our contract and fixed an air conditioning unit that would have cost me $4500 to fix. my land lord is a 60 year old white male. i d not know what he likes, so that is why i need everyones help. btw it was at a commercial rental space. not resedential i would like to get him something that has more human value than a monetary value. you know somethig that expesses my thanks... not just like a $100 neck tie that he wil wear once. he is a very rich man so i need help!!

Too Old To Go Into A Trade? (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrician, Etc)? I'm currently 40 years old and am considering going to a trade school for heating and air conditioning. While I think I'd be well suited for this trade, having basic electronic troubleshooting and some mechanical skills, my main concern is age. I am in good shape but wonder just what niches in this field are more labor demanding and might be a bad choice for older workers. I'm not afraid of hard work but am thinking years down the road. If I could be sure there are areas of the field that would be more suited to older techs it would greatly help my decision. That way I could migrate to a specific area later on if need be. For instance, commercial versus residential, store cooler work, A/C versus heat, or any other speciality area that I might not be aware of. Even input on geographic location in America would be of help. Stories of older people going into another trade like the ones listed above as positive examples would also be of help to encourage me. Thanks. Why is this in the religion section? Because I've found in the past with life issues you guys were more apt to respond and try to be helpful. This is also a spiritual crisis for me as I try to switch careers. Been doing a lot of praying for answers.

Business Advertising? I am wanting to find out a great way to advertise your business( Websites,ETC..)

How long will it take to become an HVAC engineer? I currently finished my first semester of Air Conditioning/Refrigeration/Facilities major. I'm good at and fairly decent at science. But as if right now I'm just working on an associates to get into the commercial HVAC field. And I am doing extremely well in my classes. I aced a lot of the stuff and I ended this semester with A's in both my classes. It almost seems like I should be pursuing a more challenging major sense I'm doing so well. So I've been thinking to getting into the engineering side of HVAC when I'm done with this associates. So how would I go about doing that? Like what classes and how much more years will it take me? Oh and I have completed Plane trigonometry already. So how much further on the math am I going to need to go? Thanks for any help!

Why do you believe Giuliani did so much on 9/11? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/23/11431/2093 Rudy Giuliani was a 9/11 Failure by davefromqueens Fri Feb 23, 2007 at 09:15:17 AM PDT It's September 10th, 2001. Rudy Giuliani is so unpopular in New York that he couldn't be elected dogcatcher. Having raised middle class taxes/fees, presided over the continued decline of one of the worst public school systems in America, worsened the state of health care in NYC, and doled out corporate welfare to his fat cat buddies, Giuliani was mostly a failure as Mayor. (As have most mayors of both parties been.) Sure crime fell (but it did nationwide and NYC was still safer in the 1960s than it was in 2000 so Giuliani's statistics are misleading) and Manhattan was cleaner (I'll give him that) but this is the same imbecile mayor who tried to close down a museum over a picture he personally disliked and who encouraged the kind of behavior that resulted in tragedies like Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima. Oh and I haven't even mentioned his personal behavior because Giuliani actually makes Brittney Spears seem tolerable. davefromqueens's diary :: :: But Giuliani's biggest failures as mayor stems from 9/11, both prior to and afterward. I live here, was in Manhattan on that day, so if you're not from NY, take it from those of us who live here first. GIULIANI'S 9/11 FAILURES A. PRIOR TO 9/11 1. IGNORING THE FBI - When the WTC was attacked in 1993 and we had a President who actually captured and killed EVERY person responsible for those attacks, the FBI released a series of recommendations to NYC to follow in the mid 1990s. But Giuliani, by that point replacing a competent Bill Bratton with an incompetent Howard Safir (and later third grade detective and door holder Bernie Kerik) put his ego (Giuliani is an incompetent leader and only feels secure around people even more incompetent) ahead of security and snubbed his nose at the FBI. Had these recommendations been implemented, more American lives in NYC would have been saved on 9/11. 2. FIREFIGHTER EQUIPMENT - Part of those recommendations were to give the firefighters radio equipment to communicate from ground to air. Those on the ground knew that the WTC would collapse 15-20 minutes down the road. IF the firefighters had the proper radio equipment, they would have been told to get out. Instead, they climbed to their death. 3. The COMMAND CENTER IN THE SKY - Only an idiot builds a command center 23 stories in the sky next to a major target of terrorists AFTER being told by the FBI NOT TO. Had there been an operational command center on 9/11, more lives would have been saved. 4. COORDINATION OF DEPARTMENTS - Again Giuliani the incompetent ignored the FBI recommendations to coordinate police with fire and EMT. Instead, we had a bunch of people running around not knowing what to do. This indecisiveness and confusion cost lives on 9/11. B. GIULIANI ON 9/11 1. INTRODUCTION - Of the 3 categories, Giuliani will get his highest marks here by default. What Giuliani does best is speak to the camera and he did that well. But giving press conferences as opposed to taking meaningful actions are two different things. And keep in mind that with Bush reading My Pet Goat, ANYBODY would have looked good compared to Bush. 2. RUNNING AROUND, DOING NOTHING - From 8:46 am to 10:00 am was the time for Giuliani to be a leader. And Giuliani failed. He spent the time wandering the streets of lower Manhattan aimlessly not knowing what to do. He was lost and clueless. (The press conferences came later.) 3. SCREWING THE FIREFIGHTERS - Giuliani and his brass had the opportunity to save lives but didn't. Instead they got word that the WTC might collapse. Instead of captains taking 2 extra minutes to help their sailors, Giuliani decided to jump ship without the thought of trying to send word to the firefighter to get out of the buildings. C. AFTER 9/11 1. EPA CORRUPTION - Giuliani and the Bush administration concealed environmental hazards and air conditions at 9/11 basically sending rescue workers to their deaths down the road. This is shameful. 2. LAWSUITS - Instead of helping the victims of 9/11 recover, Giuliani and Bush have been preventing these plaintiffs from getting what they are entitled to. Hero my ass. 3. PROFITTING OFF 9/11 - It's been well documented how Giuliani has exploited this tragedy for personal profit. The thing is Giuliani didn't do anything. 4. STEALING 9/11 VICTIM FUND MONEY - This is the one that should destroy Giuliani. To have the chutzpah to take money meant for the widows of 9/11 and redirecting it to his cronies is unforgivable. 5. TRIED SUSPENDING DEMOCRACY - If the terrorists hate us for our freedom, they sure must love Giuliani for Rudy tried to extend his term as mayor for 3 extra months. 6. IGNORING BIN LADEN, PRAISING BUSH During the 2004 convention, Giuliani said "Thank God George W Bush is our president." (I'd love for Democrats to make a commercial out of that in 2008 if Giuliani did get the nomination.) But what pissed New Yorkers off most is how Giuliani didn't give a flying __ about capturing Bin Laden and instead being a cheerleader for unrelated policies. New Yorkers want Bin Laden dead and Giuliani gave us a big middle finger. CONCLUSION The record as a whole shows Giuliani to be a miserable failure on 9/11 and his status as some kind of hero is completely mythological and driven by the corporate media. Somewhere in a safe house in Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden was probably saying to himself, "Thank Allah George W Bush is President, Thank Allah Rudy Giuliani is Mayor of New York City. The death toll would never have been as high without them." http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,660201787,00.html

Pax aircraft fuel tank explosions. Are they more likely to occur on the ground than in the air? NTSB to investigate apparent 727 fuel tank explosion By JAMES WALLACE P-I REPORTER The National Transportation Safety Board said today it is sending a team of investigators to Bangalore, India, after the apparent explosion of a wing fuel tank on a Boeing 727. Although the jet was on the ground and there were no passengers aboard, the incident raised fresh questions and concerns about a safety issue that has been at the forefront of the commercial aviation industry since the center fuel tank exploded on a TWA 747 shortly after it took off from Kennedy airport in New York on July 17, 1996. All 230 people on the jumbo jet died. "The tragic TWA 800 accident in 1996 highlighted the vulnerability of transport aircraft fuel tanks," NTSB Acting Chairman Mark Rosenker said in a statement about the 727 incident. "A decade later, the issue remains a major concern of the safety board and is on our most wanted list of safety improvements. I am hopeful what is learned in this investigation may provide added impetus for a resolution of this problem without further delay." The incident occurred May 4 and involved a Transmile Airlines 727-200. The plane was being repositioned on the ground when the fuel tank in the left wing apparently exploded, the NTSB said. No one was injured. A Boeing spokeswoman said today that the airplane maker only learned about the incident last week and notified the Federal Aviation Administration and the safety board. Boeing has investigators en route to India to assist in the investigation, said spokeswoman Liz Verdier. The 727 is one of Boeing's oldest jets and few are still carrying passengers in the United States. But there are many 727s in service overseas. In 1999, the FAA ordered emergency inspections of U.S.-registered 727s because of concerns about a possible fuel-tank explosion. Airlines were told to check aluminum tubes that carry electrical wires through the fuel tanks after mechanics found severe wearing of wires and holes in the tubing on two 727s. There were signs of electrical sparking around the holes. A similar FAA directive had been issued a year earlier for Boeing's 737 when the same kind of wiring problem was found on that plane. The FAA also ordered checks of 747s and 767s. The danger of fuel-tank vapors exploding on commercial jetliners has been in the spotlight since TWA Flight 800. After the longest investigation in U.S. history, the NTSB ruled that a spark of unknown origin likely ignited fuel vapors in the center fuel tank of the 747. Since then, there have been other fuel-tank explosions on commercial jetliners. In 2001, a Thai Airways 737-400 exploded at the gate at the Bangkok airport. A similar explosion had destroyed a Philippine Airlines 737 on the ground in 1999. The FAA issued a proposed rule last year that would require operators and manufacturers of transport-category aircraft to take steps to reduce the likelihood of fuel-tank vapors exploding. This would be accomplished by using a fuel inerting system. An inert gas would be pumped into fuel tanks as they empty. Boeing is designing its 787 Dreamliner for such a system should it be required. But the industry has resisted this move because of the high costs. Earlier this year, a study by a government-owned research group found that most efforts in this country to reduce the risk of a fuel-tank explosion on commercial jets since the TWA incident have been ineffective. "Unsafe conditions remain," said the study by Sandia National Laboratories. It examined 18 fuel-tank safety directives for Boeing 737s and nine for Airbus A320 jets. Only two or three reduced the probability of an explosion, the report said. While eliminating fuel-tank vapors remains one of the NTSB's "most wanted" safety improvements, cash-strapped airlines say the risks of such explosions are low and their costs to modify huge fleets of jets would be too great under the FAA's proposed rule. It is not clear what the FAA will do next, but industry resistance could stall or kill implementation of the proposed rule.

How long have we (the U.S. & U.K) been IN Iran now???????

Experience with an Ionic Breeze? My mom had used hers up until 6 months ago when she heard reports that it might be unsafe. She wasn't experiencing any negative symptoms. In fact, it helped her respiratory condition. The IB commercials have also haven't been airing on TV. Is there any truth to the rumors? She stopped using it for fear she might become sick. She almost died of pnumonia. Now she's back to where she was sneezing and congested all the time.

I need help understanding this article. Please see the article below. Thanks in advance.? What is a Social Fact? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before beginning the search for the method appropriate to the study of social facts it is important to know what are the facts termed 'social'. The question is all the more necessary because the term is used without much precision. It is commonly used to designate almost all the phenomena that occur within society, however little social interest of some generality they present. Yet under this heading there is, so to speak, no human occurrence that cannot be called social. Every individual drinks, sleeps, eats, or employs his reason, and society has every interest in seeing that these functions are regularly exercised. If therefore these facts were social ones, sociology would possess no subject matter peculiarly its own, and its domain would be confused with that of biology and psychology. However, in reality there is in every society a clearly determined group of phenomena separable, because of their distinct characteristics, from those that form the subject matter of other sciences of nature. When I perform my duties as a brother, a husband or a citizen and carry out the commitments I have entered into, I fulfil obligations which are defined in law and custom and which are external to myself and my actions. Even when they conform to my own sentiments and when I feel their reality within me, that reality does not cease to be objective, for it is not I who have prescribed these duties; I have received them through education. Moreover, how often does it happen that we are ignorant of the details of the obligations that we must assume, and that, to know them, we must consult the legal code and its authorised interpreters! Similarly the believer has discovered from birth, ready fashioned, the beliefs and practices of his religious life; if they existed before he did, it follows that they exist outside him. The system of signs that I employ to express my thoughts, the monetary system I use to pay my debts, the credit instruments I utilise in my commercial relationships, the practices I follow in my profession, etc., all function independently of the use I make of them. Considering in turn each member of society, the foregoing remarks can be repeated for each single one of them. Thus there are ways of acting, thinking and feeling which possess the remarkable property of existing outside the consciousness of the individual. Not only are these types of behaviour and thinking external to the individual, but they are endued with a compelling and coercive power by virtue of which, whether he wishes it or not, they impose themselves upon him. Undoubtedly when I conform to them of my own free will, this coercion is not felt or felt hardly at all, since it is unnecessary. None the less it is intrinsically a characteristic of these facts; the proof of this is that it asserts itself as soon as I try to resist. If I attempt to violate the rules of law they react against me so as to forestall my action, if there is still time. Alternatively, they annul it or make my action conform to the norm if it is already accomplished but capable of being reversed; or they cause me to pay the penalty for it if it is irreparable. If purely moral rules are at stake, the public conscience restricts any act which infringes them by the surveillance it exercises over the conduct of citizens and by the special punishments it has at its disposal. In other cases the constraint is less violent; nevertheless, it does not cease to exist. If I do not conform to ordinary conventions, if in my mode of dress I pay no heed to what is customary in my country and in my social class, the laughter I provoke, the social distance at which I am kept, produce, although in a more mitigated form, the same results as any real penalty. In other cases, although it may be indirect, constraint is no less effective. I am not forced to speak French with my compatriots, nor to use the legal currency, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise. If I tried to escape the necessity, my attempt would fail miserably. As an industrialist nothing prevents me from working with the processes and methods of the previous century, but if I do I will most certainly ruin myself. Even when in fact I can struggle free from these rules and successfully break them, it is never without being forced to fight against them. Even if in the end they are overcome, they make their constraining power sufficiently felt in the resistance that they afford. There is no innovator, even a fortunate one, whose ventures do not encounter opposition of this kind. Here, then, is a category of facts which present very special characteristics: they consist of manners of acting, thinking and feeling external to the individual, which are invested with a coercive power by virtue of which they exercise control over him. Consequently, since they consist of representations and actions, they cannot be confused with organic phenomena, nor with psychical phenomena, which have no existence save in and through the individual consciousness. Thus they constitute a new species and to them must be exclusively assigned the term social. It is appropriate, since it is clear that, not having the individual as their substratum, they can have none other than society, either political society in its entirety or one of the partial groups that it includes - religious denominations, political and literary schools, occupational corporations, etc. Moreover, it is for such as these alone that the term is fitting, for the word 'social' has the sole meaning of designating those phenomena which fall into none of the categories of facts already constituted and labelled. They are consequently the proper field of sociology. It is true that this word 'constraint', in terms of which we define them, is in danger of infuriating those who zealously uphold out-and-out individualism. Since they maintain that the individual is completely autonomous, it seems to them that he is diminished every time he is made aware that he is not dependent on himself alone. Yet since it is indisputable today that most of our ideas and tendencies are not developed by ourselves, but come to us from outside, they can only penetrate us by imposing themselves upon us. This is all that our definition implies. Moreover, we know that all social constraints do not necessarily exclude the individual personality. [1] Yet since the examples just cited (legal and moral rules, religious dogmas, financial systems, etc.) consist wholly of beliefs and practices already well established, in view of what has been said it might be maintained that no social fact can exist except where there is a well defined social organisation. But there are other facts which do not present themselves in this already crystallised form but which also possess the same objectivity and ascendancy over the individual. These are what are called social 'currents'. Thus in a public gathering the great waves of enthusiasm, indignation and pity that are produced have their seat in no one individual consciousness. They come to each one of us from outside and can sweep us along in spite of ourselves. If perhaps I abandon myself to them I may not be conscious of the pressure that they are exerting upon me, but that pressure makes its presence felt immediately I attempt to struggle against them. If an individual tries to pit himself against one of these collective manifestations, the sentiments that he is rejecting will be turned against him. Now if this external coercive power asserts itself so acutely in cases of resistance, it must be because it exists in the other instances cited above without our being conscious of it. Hence we are the victims of an illusion which leads us to believe we have ourselves produced what has been imposed upon us externally. But if the willingness with which we let ourselves be carried along disguises the pressure we have undergone, it does not eradicate it. Thus air does not cease to have weight, although we no longer feel that weight. Even when we have individually and spontaneously shared in the common emotion, the impression we have experienced is utterly different from what we would have felt if we had been alone. Once the assembly has broken up and these social influences have ceased to act upon us, and we are once more on our own, the emotions we have felt seem an alien phenomenon, one in which we no longer recognise ourselves. It is then we perceive that we have undergone the emotions much more than generated them. These emotions may even perhaps fill us with horror, so much do they go against the grain. Thus individuals who are normally perfectly harmless may, when gathered together in a crowd, let themselves be drawn into acts of atrocity. And what we assert about these transitory outbreaks likewise applies to those more lasting movements of opinion which relate to religious, political, literary and artistic matters, etc., and which are constantly being produced around us, whether throughout society or in a more limited sphere. Moreover, this definition of a social fact can be verified by examining an experience that is characteristic. It is sufficient to observe how children are brought up. If one views the facts as they are and indeed as they have always been, it is patently obvious that all education consists of a continual effort to impose upon the child ways of seeing, thinking and acting which he himself would not have arrived at spontaneously. From his earliest years we oblige him to eat, drink and sleep at regular hours, and to observe cleanliness, calm and obedience; later we force him to learn how to be mindful of others, to respect customs and conventions, and to work, etc. If this constraint in time ceases to be felt it is because it gradually gives rise to habits, to inner tendencies which render it superfluous; but they supplant the constraint only because they are derived from it. It is true that, in Spencer's view, a rational education should shun such means and allow the child complete freedom to do what he will. Yet as this educational theory has never been put into practice among any known people, it can only be the personal expression of a desideratum and not a fact which can be established in contradiction to the other facts given above. What renders these latter facts particularly illuminating is that education sets out precisely with the object of creating a social being. Thus there can be seen, as in an abbreviated form, how the social being has been fashioned historically. The pressure to which the child is subjected unremittingly is the same pressure of the social environment which seeks to shape him in its own image, and in which parents and teachers are only the representatives and intermediaries. Thus it is not the fact that they are general which can serve to characterise sociological phenomena. Thoughts to be found in the consciousness of each individual and movements which are repeated by all individuals are not for this reason social facts. If some have been content with using this characteristic in order to define them it is because they have been confused, wrongly, with what might be termed their individual incarnations. What constitutes social facts are the beliefs, tendencies and practices of the group taken collectively. But the forms that these collective states may assume when they are 'refracted' through individuals are things of a different kind. What irrefutably demonstrates this duality of kind is that these two categories of facts frequently are manifested dissociated from each other. Indeed some of these ways of acting or thinking acquire, by dint of repetition, a sort of consistency which, so to speak, separates them out, isolating them from the particular events which reflect them. Thus they assume a shape, a tangible form peculiar to them and constitute a reality sui generis vastly distinct from the individual facts which manifest that reality. Collective custom does not exist only in a state of immanence in the successive actions which it determines, but, by a privilege without example in the biological kingdom, expresses itself once and for all in a formula repeated by word of mouth, transmitted by education and even enshrined in the written word. Such are the origins and nature of legal and moral rules, aphorisms and popular sayings, articles of faith in which religious or political sects epitomise their beliefs, and standards of taste drawn up by literary schools, etc. None of these modes of acting and thinking are to be found wholly in the application made of them by individuals, since they can even exist without being applied at the time. Undoubtedly this state of dissociation does not always present itself with equal distinctiveness. It is sufficient for dissociation to exist unquestionably in the numerous important instances cited, for us to prove that the social fact exists separately from its individual effects. Moreover, even when the dissociation is not immediately observable, it can often be made so with the help of certain methodological devices. Indeed it is essential to embark on such procedures if one wishes to refine out the social fact from any amalgam and so observe it in its pure state. Thus certain currents of opinion, whose intensity varies according to the time and country in which they occur, impel us, for example, towards marriage or suicide, towards higher or lower birth-rates, etc. Such currents are plainly social facts. At first sight they seem inseparable from the forms they assume in individual cases. But statistics afford us a means of isolating them. They are indeed not inaccurately represented by rates of births, marriages and suicides, that is, by the result obtained after dividing the average annual total of marriages, births, and voluntary homicides by the number of persons of an age to marry, produce children, or commit suicide. [2] Since each one of these statistics includes without distinction all individual cases, the individual circumstances which may have played some part in producing the phenomenon cancel each other out and consequently do not contribute to determining the nature of the phenomenon. What it expresses is a certain state of the collective mind. That is what social phenomena are when stripped of all extraneous elements. As regards their private manifestations, these do indeed having something social about them, since in part they reproduce the collective model. But to a large extent each one depends also upon the psychical and organic constitution of the individual, and on the particular circumstances in which he is placed. Therefore they are not phenomena which are in the strict sense sociological. They depend on both domains at the same time, and could be termed socio-psychical. They are of interest to the sociologist without constituting the immediate content of sociology. The same characteristic is to be found in the organisms of those mixed phenomena of nature studied in the combined sciences such as biochemistry. It may be objected that a phenomenon can only be collective if it is common to all the members of society, or at the very least to a majority, and consequently, if it is general. This is doubtless the case, but if it is general it is because it is collective (that is, more or less obligatory); but it is very far from being collective because it is general. It is a condition of the group repeated in individuals because it imposes itself upon them. It is in each part because it is in the whole, but far from being in the whole because it is in the parts. This is supremely evident in those beliefs and practices which are handed down to us ready fashioned by previous generations. We accept and adopt them because, since they are the work of the collectivity and one that is centuries old, they are invested with a special authority that our education has taught us to recognise and respect. It is worthy of note that the vast majority of social phenomena come to us in this way. But even when the social fact is partly due to our direct co-operation, it is no different in nature. An outburst of collective emotion in a gathering does not merely express the sum total of what individual feelings share in common, but is something of a very different order, as we have demonstrated. It is a product of shared existence, of actions and reactions called into play between the consciousnesses of individuals. If it is echoed in each one of them it is precisely by virtue of the special energy derived from its collective origins. If all hearts beat in unison, this is not as a consequence of a spontaneous, preestablished harmony; it is because one and the same force is propelling them in the same direction. Each one is borne along by the rest. We have therefore succeeded in delineating for ourselves the exact field of sociology. It embraces one single, well defined group of phenomena. A social fact is identifiable through the power of external coercion which it exerts or is capable of exerting upon individuals. The presence of this power is in turn recognisable because of the existence of some pre-determined sanction, or through the resistance that the fact opposes to any individual action that may threaten it. However, it can also be defined by ascertaining how widespread it is within the group, provided that, as noted above, one is careful to add a second essential characteristic; this is, that it exists independently of the particular forms that it may assume in the process of spreading itself within the group. In certain cases this latter criterion can even be more easily applied than the former one. The presence of constraint is easily ascertainable when it is manifested externally through some direct reaction of society, as in the case of law, morality, beliefs, customs and even fashions. But when constraint is merely indirect, as with that exerted by an economic organization, it is not always so clearly discernible. Generality combined with objectivity may then be easier to establish. Moreover, this second definition is simply another formulation of the first one: if a mode of behaviour existing outside the consciousnesses of individuals becomes general, it can only do so by exerting pressure upon them. [3] However, one may well ask whether this definition is complete. Indeed the facts which have provided us with its basis are all ways of functioning: they are 'physiological' in nature. But there are also collective ways of being, namely, social facts of an 'anatomical' or morphological nature. Sociology cannot dissociate itself from what concerns the substratum of collective life. Yet the number and nature of the elementary parts which constitute society, the way in which they are articulated, the degree of coalescence they have attained, the distribution of population over the earth's surface, the extent and nature of the network of communications, the design of dwellings, etc., do not at first sight seem relatable to ways of acting, feeling or thinking. Yet, first and foremost, these various phenomena present the same characteristic which has served us in defining the others. These ways of being impose themselves upon the individual just as do the ways of acting we have dealt with. In fact, when we wish to learn how a society is divided up politically, in what its divisions consist and the degree of solidarity that exists between them, it is not through physical inspection and geographical observation that we may come to find this out: such divisions are social, although they may have some physical basis. It is only through public law that we can study such political organisation, because this law is what determines its nature, just as it determines our domestic and civic relationships. The organisation is no less a form of compulsion. If the population clusters together in our cities instead of being scattered over the rural areas, it is because there exists a trend of opinion, a collective drive which imposes this concentration upon individuals. We can no more choose the design of our houses than the cut of our clothes - at least, the one is as much obligatory as the other. The communication network forcibly prescribes the direction of internal migrations or commercial exchanges, etc., and even their intensity. Consequently, at the most there are grounds for adding one further category to the list of phenomena already enumerated as bearing the distinctive stamp of a social fact. But as that enumeration was in no wise strictly exhaustive, this addition would not be indispensable. Moreover, it does not even serve a purpose, for these ways of being are only ways of acting that have been consolidated. A society's political structure is only the way in which its various component segments have become accustomed to living with each other. If relationships between them are traditionally close, the segments tend to merge together; if the contrary, they tend to remain distinct. The type of dwelling imposed upon us is merely the way in which everyone around us and, in part, previous generations, have customarily built their houses. The communication network is only the channel which has been cut by the regular current of commerce and migrations, etc., flowing in the same direction. Doubtless if phenomena of a morphological kind were the only ones that displayed this rigidity, it might be thought that they constituted a separate species. But a legal rule is no less permanent an arrangement than an architectural style, and yet it is a 'physiological' fact. A simple moral maxim is certainly more malleable, yet it is cast in forms much more rigid than a mere professional custom or fashion. Thus there exists a whole range of gradations which, without any break in continuity, join the most clearly delineated structural facts to those free currents of social life which are not yet caught in any definite mould. This therefore signifies that the differences between them concern only the degree to which they have become consolidated. Both are forms of life at varying stages of crystallisation. It would undoubtedly be advantageous to reserve the term 'morphological' for those social facts which relate to the social substratum, but only on condition that one is aware that they are of the same nature as the others. Our definition will therefore subsume all that has to be defined it if states: A social fact is any way of acting, whether fixed or not, capable of exerting over the individual an external constraint; or: which is general over the whole of a given society whilst having an existence of its own, independent of its individual manifestations. [4] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Moreover, this is not to say that all constraint is normal. We shall return to this point later. 2. Suicides do not occur at any age, nor do they occur at all ages of life with the same frequency. 3. It can be seen how far removed this definition of the social fact is from that which serves as the basis for the ingenious system of Tarde. We must first state that our research has nowhere led us to corroboration of the preponderant influence that Tarde attributes to imitation in the genesis of collective facts. Moreover, from this definition, which is not a theory but a mere resume of the immediate data observed, it seems clearly to follow that imitation does not always express, indeed never expresses, what is essential and characteristic in the social fact . Doubtless every social fact is imitated and has, as we have just shown, a tendency to become generalised, but this is because it is social, i.e. obligatory. Its capacity for expansion is not the cause but the consequence of its sociological character. If social facts were unique in bringing about this effect, imitation might serve, if not to explain them, at least to define them. But an individual state which impacts on others none the less remains individual. Moreover, one may speculate whether the term 'imitation' is indeed appropriate to designate a proliferation which occurs through some coercive influence. In such a single term very different phenomena, which need to be distinguished, are confused. 4. This close affinity of life and structure, organ and function, can be readily established in sociology because there exists between these two extremes a whole series of intermediate stages, immediately observable, which reveal the link between them. Biology lacks this methodological resource. But one may believe legitimately that sociological inductions on this subject are applicable to biology and that, in organisms as in societies, between these two categories of facts only differences in degree exist.
