Often I am asked to lecture before a mom's group on the subject of hiring and training household help. This is always very informative not only to the attendees but also to me. Invariably, I walk away learning so much about how people conduct themselves as employers, and I am never surprised to discover how so many are actually walking on eggshells around their domestic help.

We all use math in our everyday lives. Many of us consider ourselves to be "math phobic", "math deficient" or "mathematically challenged." Perhaps we communicate these ideas to our children or perhaps we and our children truly are any or all of the above. In educational institutions, where math is taught largely in the abstract and without practical application, particularly in the elementary grades, this inability comes as no surprise. Have you ever tried to tea... more...

DNA stands for deoxyribose nucleic acid. This is a factor present in the chromosomes of the human nucleus.
