| Is cloud hosting really going to benefit my enterprise in terms of IT costs reduction and scalability issues? |
 |
Cloud computing utilizes multiple connected servers to do the web hosting instead of the shared/dedicated server infrastructure of the traditional web hosting. This enables better scalability and load balancing as the processing power and hardware infrastructure is virtually unlimited.
As you have mentioned in your question the two points of scalability and cost efficiency are definitely part of a cloud environment and it can add tremendous advantages in these areas for your enterprise. A cloud hosting setup can make your web expansion demands to be met fairly easily with very little limitations. The cloud will take care of the drastic variations in traffic and severe load on the servers with out much problem. Since the cloud-hosting providers usually bill for the amount of computing power utilized your enterprise will be paying only for the power consumption made by your website.
Even if cloud hosting raises some concerns in the field of security and privacy it is definitely gaining huge popularity among Medium and Top level enterprises because of its definite advantages in scalability, ease of deployment and cost factors. |

| How many years in 1 light year? |
 |
Light year is not a unit of time. It is a unit of distance and could be expressed in kilometers or miles or something like that. One light year is the distance travelled by light in one year at the speed of 300 000 km/second.

| I am getting married to a girl in the coming months, we both are in a fix of finding really good dates for the marriage?, can someone please help us in this dates issue as astrology and dates is new stuff to me? |
 |
The relative positions of the planets, stars, etc. as viewed from Earth have absolutely no direct influence over human life events.
Astrology is pure superstition. Entertainment at best, fraud at worst. Were it a genuine science, every so-called Astrologer would arrive at the identical conclusion on any given topic without having to render an interpretation of the charts. Astrology is no more significant than enjoying any other work of fiction.
If you, your intended or any family members firmly insist upon Astrological guidance, I would suggest that your marriage will be fraught with dependence upon lucky charms, talismans, Astrologers' interpretations and other superstitious influences that offer no genuine benefit. Any or all of these will more likely interfere with marital bliss than enhance it.
Selecting a date should consider the least conflict with the participants', attendees' and facilities' schedules rather than the positions of the moon and stars.
Then again, you might be a "true believer". In that case, I wish you the best of luck. You'll need it. |

You should be talking to your parents about this, not asking some unknown person like me on the Internet.
But since you did ask, I will give you an answer.
First, stop having sex. Sex is reserved as one of the privileges of marriage.
If you are certain you are pregnant, do not kill the baby. Carry it to term and give birth. After that, either raise it as your child (with the help of friends and family) or give it up for adoption.
If you don't think you have friends or family who will help, find a pastor or priest to assist you - even if you don't currently know such a person. Don't be shy about asking him; he should be more than willing to help. |

| One of your co-workers is originally from Saudi Arabia. You like him and the two of you work well together however he stands so close when you speak with him that it makes you very uncomfortable? Do you tell him of your discomfort, or do you try to cover it up? |
 |
I think covering it up is right out - just how would one do that? I mean, you can keep living with it, but you are uncomfortable and you wrote for solutions to that discomfort, so that option is just a nonsense. I can't help thinking that frank but good-humoured discussion is an entirely feasible and reasonable option.
I don't think this is so difficult; you are obviously a sensitive man and I imagine that your friend, who by now must surely know you well enough, will not fail to see that. Perhaps you could ask approach the matter delicately by questioning him as to whether such close bodily proximity when engaging in conversation is the norm in Saudi Arabia. And then perhaps go on to say how you have been considering your own country's concept of 'personal space'. If that goes over all right, you could say that you find you feel uncomfortable standing so close, but that you have no real rational basis for feeling that way, except that it is abnormal in your culture. I mean, that's more or less true, isn't it? And it's not any sort of rejection, which is the central consideration here, is it not? That is the thing you are most keen to avoid; you do not want to repel, or alienate him, or do anything at all that might detract from, or damage, what is a good working relationship. You don't want him to feel uncomfortable, or embarrassed, any more than you want that for yourself - totally reasonable.
Nah, sorry, I had to know so I typed 'saudi arabia personal space' into Google and would you believe: "Saudis do not require as much personal space as most western cultures. As such, they will stand close to you while conversing and you may feel as if your personal space has been violated".
[http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/saudi-arabia-country-profile.html]. Aha.
And, "Gifts are not opened when received." Well that's just sensible; wise, even. I wonder what the practice is when returning unwanted items to the shop they came from; in short, do they do with presents the exact opposite of us and leave the price tag on? Hee hee.
Now that I know this, I wonder whether I would not actually accept this exceptionable nearness, now that I understand it as being just a cultural thing. In the end, maybe it's so simple as that, being amicable as you are, you could actually, without causing any offence or awkwardness, not 'tell him of your discomfort' but discuss with him your curiosity about the difference - which, of course, having read up a little bit about Saudi culture courtesy of my little haha 'pointer' up there you are now perfectly qualified to do - in this aspect of your two cultures' social norms.
I must thank you for what was in the first place a very interesting question. I hope that if he stares at you in shock and immediately walks out of the room, and then you never speak again, and quickly become enemies, and both end up getting fired that you won't be cross with me :D

I am a 25 year old male who has been chronically drinking sinse the age of 8 as I grew up with an alcoholic father.
I have chronic (permanent) damage to my pancreas and now my doctor has told me my liver is on its way out.
Over the years I have tried to subtitute alcohol with things like valium, temazepam, cannabis etc but always return back to alcohol.
I really want to stop especially after coming into my Christian faith about 4 years ago after loosing two people very close to me in my family.
The big problem is I have had a lot of bad things happen to me in my life when I was younger, sexual abuse being one of them, one of many things. I have also done a lot of bad things to hurt in fights. I cant cope with my memories! |
 |
The way I overcame my alcoholism was in a biblical way. I repented, prayed asking for deliverance and strength from the temptation, and was convicted to do so. I had a strong desire to quit drinking. I removed all alcohol from my home, found a 'checker' at my church that would keep on me, and dived into the word whenever a desire hit.
I am now over 18 months without drinking, and have no desire to. If an urge hits, it is now easy to resist. I moved into a living situation in which alcohol is readily present in the house and drank on a regular basis. That is how I know that I am delivered. |

| I have shifted from NJ to Virginia. Back there, I used to have my employer’s group health insurance policy. But here, I am looking to have my own business, which means that I won’t be able to have group health insurance anymore. What should be the options? |
 |
| Well, for some time, you can avail the COBRA facility, which should extend till 18 months I am not sure how many months back you left the job in NJ. Rest, if you want to pick up a fresh insurance policy, I guess starting from the internet itself would be a good option. Try http://www.hcentive.com. I bought a policy from there portal and it seems fair and simple. |
