Initiative? How much a girl has to show initiative in relationships?
How can i be outgoing and show initiative when working behind a bar? I'm applying for a job working at the bar in a pub. On their poster ad they said they wanted someone who is outgoing and who shows initiative. I have an interview tomorrow at 5pm, how can i let them know I'm outgoing? What does it mean to "show initiative" and how can that be applied to working behind a bar? The pub is in a local area and is often rather quiet. It has it's regulars which are mainly middle-aged males. I'd be working shifts.
Problems taking the initiative/control or being the Dominant one in a relationship? It feels like gender roles are set in stone, especially when you are a guy. If a person is a guy, therefore they do this, this and this and NEVER DO that, that and that. However, for me, it has never felt natural to take the initiative or be the dominant one in a relationship. I always assumed it was an extreme form of shyness but even when I break from the shyness; it still doesn’t feel natural to take the lead. I don’t know whether I am secretly sub and would rather be the submissive one in a relationship. Are there any other guys affected by this problem? How have you been able to deal with it?

Californians: Ready for a ballot initiative to fire the entire state legislature and the Governor? Would you support a ballot initiative to fire the entire state legislature and the governor for failing to pass a budget after several months? Don't you deserve adults who can get things done, rather the deadlocked in partisanship and bureaucracy? Clearly these clowns are unable to run the state, unable to secure our border, and flat-out inept at handling the state. They are destroying the state with their stupidity and incompetence.
How can I show I use my initiative on job application? I'm filling in a job application form and they are asking for 2 examples where I have shown my own ideas an initiative in a work environment. I've presented one but I don't want to give an example from the same job but my only other jobs have just been part time supermarket jobs. How can I show that in these situations. I'm sure I did something but I'm just drawing a blank!
Is President Obama's wellness initiative a plan to legalize discrimination? Years of medical research confirms that genetics predetermine much of who we are. Our grandfathers knew this when they coined the phrase; "An apple doesn't fall from the tree". In president Obama's health care plan a "wellness initiative" is proposed whereby those who are obese will be fined for their susceptibility to medical complications. Since geneticists have confirmed that many people are obese because of their genetic predisposition then, is the fine imposed under the wellness initiative discriminatory and unconstitutional?
How to show initiative that I WANT to be a hairdresser? I've been on a 3 month trial, it is coming up to the final 2 weeks now and my boss has sat me down and said all these great things that I'm doing and that she is impressed with my cleaning skills. She said within these next 2 weeks I need to show initiative and show her that I want to be a hairdresser. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?

One of them is Demonstrating a High level of Personal Initiative- can anyone help me with this? I'm a little stuck on how to write about my Personal Initative It an application for a trainee office admin assistant- if that helps at all
Where is Obama coming from with his healthcare reform initiative? My understanding is that he wants to put money and emphasis on good health practices among Americans (eating wisely and exercising, regularly check ups etc.) rather than money going to sustain one with multiple conditions who will ultimately die from one or the other anyway. Is this correct? If so, should not Americans take the initiative to consider a living will or do not resuscitate directive so that they are in control when they get very very ill? This is where I think he is coming from. The other monies will go to those who are uninsured working poor.
does the Faith Based Initiative started by Bush and bolstered by Obama violate a healthy sep of church/state? as this initiative has directed tax money to clergy/churches and even created gov't jobs for clergy/staff at tax payer expense..is it not unethical in view of the constitution? some can argue that churches provide much community assistance, which they do, but so do the secular charities that are now losing equal footing for gov't subsidies. true. it does not violate the 1st amendment. however, it does give religious charities a distinct advantage over the secular charities in applying for gov't dollars. if the goal of this initiative is to help community charities why the need to bolster religious charities? correct answer is there is more than what is on paper here. yes, it does provide that the money they rec'v must go to non religious activities, which keeps it on the correct side of the establishment clause, but the bottom line is it favors religious charities and creates gov't jobs at federal, state, and local levels to further it's mission. imo it is unethical to do that. if you think i am wrong plz explain. agreed magpie - did u know that Obama has actually expanded the program now? complete w/ Pentecostal minister in charge of the office :/
Should the United States amend the Constitution to allow for a national initiative? What view of democracy would supporters of the initiative hold? What about its opponents? Which view is consistent with most Americans' views of democracy? Why is a national initiative so important to people like Senator Gravel? What does he believe are the benefits of a national initiative? Why do Senator Gravel's opponents think that direct democracy might actually make the country less democratic? Do you think the American public is capable of voting on policy issues?
Why is there a lack of initiative from the Bush Administration on Alternative fuel research? Republican’s argument for cutting taxes is that it is "proven effective". O.K. Jimmy Carter proved during his administration that government spending in alternative fuel research via investment initiatives and government grants drops oil prices substantially, as the cartels move to destroy the profit-making potential of energy alternatives. How can one explain this administration's lack of initiative in this area when 1. Our national security is at risk and 2. It has been proven effective at lowering oil prices.
Is it wrong to want a woman to have initiative? Is it wrong to want a woman to take some initiative, be it in dating or in the bedroom? I feel like many of my female friends don't want to try even going out on a date with me because i want (not really expect) them to come up with some ideas or suggestions on their own.
How do you determine your player's Initiative in Dungeons & Dragons? In the Player's Handbook it talks about Initiative Check and how that's a roll + Dexterity modifier, and that you roll it at the start of a battle. But I thought that Iniative is something you determine while creating your character and that it doesn't changes; certainly not after every time you start a battle... I can't find in the Player's Handbook, but a friend tells me that it's 10 + Dexterity modifier.
Where can i find someone in the film industry to read n evaluate the script i send to Fox writer's initiative? i want to send my script submission to Fox writer's initiative but they require that The script must be read and evaluated by an individual with considerable industry experience (e.g. a writer that is currently working on a TV show {producer or above}, a television or film creative executive, writing professor, a community entertainment group, a national media coalition group, so i wonder if where i could find one to help evaluate my script?
I need help having more initiative and being less shy in bed with my boyfriend? My boyfriend the other night told me that I sort of had an ultimatum whether we were going to have sex or not. He said that I had to start it up, when he usually gets it going... I failed to do so, I just got really shy and embarrassed to do things that I thought he might like. He ended up taking the full initiative but I felt really bad about it, and I don't know what to do to gain confidence and shock the hell out of him.
Could somebody tell me an extremely challenging initiative exercise which is easy when you know how? I need to think of an initiative exercise for a small group of ages between 13 and 17. It needs to be very hard to think of the way around the situation but very easy when you know how. The sort of thing i am looking for is if the group is put in a situation and they have to get themselves out of a dangerous situation using materials around them such as rope, bucket etc. I would like the answer to the exercise aswell please

Also, can biodeisel be used in regular gasoline vehicles or only in deisel engines.

Should people use the initiative process in their states to end or reduce the state income tax? Ok, as a resident of California, I was thinking. Our President is going to impose really hign income taxes to pay for all the "giveaways" to his friends and supporters like that Black Activist Group who use voter fraud to get him elected (Acorn) so why not simply pass voter sponsored initiatives to end State Income Taxes. That will counter any massive increases in Federal Income Tax under Obama.
Is showing too much initiative at work a bad thing? We are encouraged to help others at work when our work is done. But it seems to just annoy others when I try helping them even though I know how to help them. My boss brags on me a lot which I don't think is my fault.. I'm quiet but I'm a good worker and never brag on myself. I think I'm thought of as a brown noser but what should I do?

I need it for a school paper, regarding society's views on minorities regarding sexual orientation, in the 1970's... where i combine History and Music, as points of view on the story..... thank you all very much.

What would your anwer to this question be?
How do you encourage a teenager who has lost initiative to finish highschool? My daughter has had several health issues, which has caused her to be a few years behind in school. She is 16 and a freshman. She has made it evident that she is going to drop out when she turns 18, and that she hates traditional school now. She has said she would try to finish if we would homeschool her and get her away from the younger kids she is having to endure. I know that the maturity level between 14 and 16 is incredible, and could use any advice you have for me on how to encourage her.
UK: Can somebody explain the the latest government possible initiative that allows parents to sue schools? If the school is found guilty this must mean that compensation will be come from the school and paid by the Local Education Authority which gets it's funds from the County (i.e. money raised from the Council Tax) which must mean that the more fines that are paid the higher the Council Tax must be raised to be pay the fines. Who receives the fines? Surely, the only people that will actually gain from this are the legal profession and the fines will be borne by Council Tax payers (surely circular taxation?) So how will this improve the education system?

Thanks in advance
How there can be peace on Gaza? Why UN is not taking the initiative? I have friends both from Israel and Palestine and they have their on reasons to conclude that they are right. But instead of arguments and war, there should be some discussions and negotiations to bring permanent peace. How we can make a successful peace movement, so that UN can take initiatives to start up un biased talks?
How Do I Take More Initiative? People frequently complain that I don't take initiative or "think for myself". This happens at work, and at home. I'm 17, I work cleaning in an art gallery. The owner complains that I don't take initiative in what to clean. I just don't want to move or touch anything unless he specifically tells me to. What if I assume I *can* do something and I can't, and he gets REALLY mad at me? So I end up asking questions about EVERYTHING. Even my friends think I don't think for myself. But that's because I'm usually wrong, and I hate to make assumptions. How can I take more initiative without doing or saying something stupid? I'm tired of people saying I ask too many questions and that I always wait for people to tell me what to do. (For the art store example, I'll use my common sense, like "Wash Dishes" is on the list of duties, so I do all the dishes, but I don't want to reorganize his office desk unless he tells me to, because what if he knew EXACTLY where he put a scrap of paper with a phone number, but I move it to organize the desk, and he flips out because he had it in the perfect spot, and now it'll take forever to find it?)
Can someone help me find the last Israeli peace initiative? I am looking for the last time Israel put forward proposals for dealing with the regional conflict, either multilaterally or at a country level, I am interested in what Israelis want and what they are prepared to give. Please - links, not rants.
What do you think of the new Washington DC crime initiative? The DC metropolitan police are going to start searching residents' homes for guns. Supposedly, the residents will have amnesty for owning the guns, they will simply be confiscated, unless it is determined the found weapons were used in the commision of a crime. Is this classic Liberal politics at work here? Is this what we have to look forward to if Obama or Hillary get elected? Is this the beginning of the end of the constitution when agents of the Government are coming to your house to collect your guns? Is this the beginning of the Police State in the US?
If one were to take the initiative to create a private forum no trolls allowed, would you join? I'm willing if you are, a forum with private membership that must be approved by existing members. Sure it won't be as luxurious as Y!A as far as amenities go, but the idea of peaceful women’s study and feminist related intelligent discussion minus trolls is becoming intoxicating... leave an answer and I'll email you with it as soon as I'm done creating it if you are interested. I already have a hosting site in mind but it is a little limited (for instance you won't get emails letting you know of new posts, you'll have to check yourself), I'd prefer not to say which site but if you have any ideas of better sites that allow private membership e-mail me. I'm willing to do the grunt work. Also if you have other contacts who might be interested, star this question so they can check it out too. I get your point Amiko but this last weeks activities of a certain troll glorifiying a mass murderer have pushed me over the edge. I think I'd rather deal with contradictions. perhaps "agreeing with each other all day" would exist, but forgive me if it sounds appealing after the constant argumentation and conflict in this forum. (btw the idea that all feminists would agree with each other on all topics is extremely ignorant) nobody said it had anything to do with men laurel, nice try though percieved sexism, yet again.... this is so draining Thanks Happy for reaffirming the necessity. beautifulirish: I thumbs downed you, because like laurel, you are seeing words that aren't there.. "judgemental", "men", "nasty" no where in my post, exactly the friggin reason why I want to do this, I'm so sick of people misinterpreting everything and running with it LOL @ priscilla Ain't it funny, these 1st ammendment advocates? um who fell asleep in history class. Did no one see the word private? Oh, and btw people, the 1st ammendment doesn't apply to Y!A hence, community guidelines that Y!A put in place. however y!A did not put in place preventative measures to block permanently those who's accounts are deleted due to violations, and we all get to live with it. while your defending that jackass's right to call me a c*nt, I'll be in a more peaceful forum UPDATE: to those who are interested, please be patient, this project is a little more difficult than i thought it would be. The hosting site is having tech. difficulties right now, and I want to have the forum up and running, not under construction when I email all of you. Probably later today or tomorrow, take care
How many of you cons still back w on his Iraq initiative? I love hearing all the justifications you can muster out of blasphemous and unfounded righteousness. Dems, please chime in and bring the war mongers back to reality. These discussions should be heard by both the aprehensive and rational points of view, after all. AI D is right. w did say, "Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists." One other thing he said is, "Mission accomplished." Which is more true? Personally, I don't see a reason to be in Iraq. I also don't see that his misguided mission was, is, or ever will be accomplished. Apparently, w sees me as a terrorist. He can go fcuk himself.

Would you support a mandatory national service initiative? It doesn't have to military - it could be programs similar Americorps, Peace Corps, etc. I think that citizenship should earned - you have to serve the nation in order to vested with full rights as a citizen, included the right (privilege) to vote. Your thoughts?
