Q&A: How do different organisms affect the rate of enzyme activity?

Question by Ellen: How do different organisms affect the rate of enzyme activity?
I have to design a series of experiments to investigate how different types of organisms might affect the rate of enzyme activity. What are some examples of organisms affecting the rate of enzyme activity in their environment? What are the enzymes that they affect? How do the organisms affect the enzyme activity?

Think about the questions.

They form the basis of how you design the experiments.

That should get you started – I’m not going to do all your work for you!

How can I advertise my new Optical business in an effective and inexpensive way?How can I advertise my website?

Question by glamorglutton: How can I advertise my new Optical business in an effective and inexpensive way?How can I advertise my website?
I just recently opened up an optical store and the location is nice but no one really sees us because we’re in the middle of the Plaza and almost every business there is new. Cars ride by our building every day, but no one stops to come in. I want to know how I could advertise my business effectively without burning my pockets. Also, I want to advertise my website too, but I don’t know how. Please help me.

Answer by Cyndi C
Who is your target market? What type of people end up going to the Plaza? Price range of your products?

Try flyers with offers of discounts. You can advertise a 10% discount to draw people in, or more if you see fit. Promotions are good, and you need to break into the market somehow. Little freebies are nice as well. “Buy __________ and get a free bottle of eyeglass cleaner”

Look to see if there are any popular forums online for your city. You can target some clients by advertising your store with a “coupon code” that they can mention, or they can mention which forum they saw your ad on. This way, you can give them a discount or a freebie. Honestly, discounts + freebies are your best choice to lure them in.

How does a booking agency make money to pay the agents and their commission?

Question by lovely_lady: How does a booking agency make money to pay the agents and their commission?
I know an independent agent makes their 10-15% commission from a bands gig but when you start a booking agency, how does the agency get the money to pay their agents commission they earn plus salary? Does the agent give part or all of the commission to the agency? How does that work?

Best answer:

Answer by Ed Atun
No money is paid out until your clients start bringing money in. As soon as the band gets $ 1Million advance for their new record, the agency takes $ 150,000 and writes a check to the band for $ 850,000. Out of the $ 150,000 the owner of the agency pays the utility bill and the rent and the agent’s fee or commission. The agent herself might be getting a set fee instead of a percentage..

Answer by jramp01
6th Grade? Awwwww… Cute. About the bellwork, do not go ahead, unless the teacher says you may. About the boys, try befriending boys, but do not act too girly but not too tough either. Also, this is the age in which you start making choices. Think about the future and who you want to be.

Let’s make flickr GREY !

Lasst flickr mal graue Haare wachsen!- Let’s make flickr GREY !
Der Protest gegen das selbstherrliche Auftreten von flickr und yahoo ist in dieser Woche sehr erfolgreich verlaufen. Wenn die Protestaktivitäten jetzt nachlassen würden, wäre das ein völlig falsches Signal.
Vorschlag:
Nachdem sich die zunehmend phantasievollen und sehr kreativen Protestbilder einen festen Platz in flickrs werbewirksamen Aushängeschild Explore / Interestingness erobern konnten, könnte nun ein schlichtes, monochromes Grau folgen. Es wird nochmals stundenlanges faven, notes schreiben und kommentare verfassen erfordern, aber alleine die Vorstellung, flickr den Content für eine Weile zu entziehen, der die Seite zu dem gemacht hat was sie ist, sollte eine neue Runde wert sein……

**********************************************

The protest against flickrs and yahoos’ narcistic behaviour during this past week, has gone a very successful way.
If the protest activities would fade by now, it would be amassive rongly taken signal.

Proposal:
After the accordingly phantastic and very creative Protest- pics were able to claim a safe playe in flickrs promotionally affective "Explore/ Interestingness" feature- sign, now there could just follow a mellow, monocrome grey.
It will – once again- take hours of faving, tagging, writing notes and comments-
but just the imagination of taking the content off flickr for a while, which made the Site to all it is right now, should be worth a second round……

AGAINST CENSORSHIP!

flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Es werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als ‘moderate’ oder ‘restricted’ markiert sind! Es gibt keine Möglichkeit das umzustellen – das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!

In English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" … only flowers and landscapes for the germans …
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account – show flickr who we are!

Lade dieses Bild runter und poste es in deinem Account! Lass uns das Bild überall auf flickr verteilen und es in ‘Interestingness’ heben!! So geht es nicht!
