Are you excited about the financial services committee finally agreeing to have a hearing on auditing the fed?

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank has officially agreed to hold hearings on HR 1207! The hearings are tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 25 at 9:00 am.

Ecstatic! I hope all goes well.

Good job by the way and congratulations! I know you were very involved in this.

How to get the cube root of a number using a TI calculator?

How does one get the cube root (or any root) of a number using the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition calculator?

I think it is the blue (2nd) root function button with the root symbol. But we can’t quite figure it out.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks all! All the methods work!

From my 9 yr old…

"I have a TI-83 original, but I think I can help you.

Enter the number and then push the "to the power of" button. Then put a parentheses, then 1/3, then another parantheses, then hit enter and you have it."

Edited to add: He tried the Math 4 way and it also works. We hadn’t read the other answers before posting. :-)

Why is there little investments into the Philippines despite its unique stregnths and resources?

Why is there little investments into the Philippines despite its unique stregnths and resources?

Look at Malaysia even vietnam is beating us in FDI inflows.

Why is this so, when geographicaly we are at the gateway of east and south east asia we also serve as a bridge to the Americas.

We have a liberal economy, english proficiency, young population and high education rate.

Since we are smack in the middle of 4 economically dynamic regions, we have a diverse and versatile culture and posses high quality resources (Natural, Man-power and Intellectual) Why then do we pale in comparison to the rest of our kin?

Where did we go wrong? What happened?
indonesia is more corrupt than the philippines. yet they recieve more FDI’s too.

No. 1 is corruption. have to make lagay here and there i.e. customs , red tape, bureaucracy and a lot of funny administration fees n processing fees. No transparency at all.

2nd, service is not that efficient. Too slow before service is delivered.

3rd absenteeism of employees, too many holidays. This can disrupt businesses. In my location, medical certificates must be certified by company doctor to authenticate "sick leave."

4th too much strikes. also disruptive in businesses. Also,media had a part of portraying our country in bad light. They always show those unions and rallies scaring investors away

Although we have young population and good english proficiency, the government is a big problem. its too soft on security matters and the mentioned reasons are hindrance to our economy.

Well I have to accept some financial aid to go to school because I don’t make enough money to cover schooling and neither do my parents. So I would start off with your goals of school if you have decided your major and and a little intro with that then move into the financial aid and how it’ll help you
