How do people send spam using my e-mai address?

Those spammers use software that makes the 'From' address the same as the 'To' email address, automatically, for all of the tens of thousands of emails they send out daily. That's common. A lot of spammers spoof (fake) the "From" address to make it appear as if it's from your own email address. It really isn't from your address though, as you can verify if you read the information in the email headers. You won't find it in your 'Sent' folder either. Presumably, they think you'll be more likely to open it out of curiosity if it looks as if it's 'from' your own address. Delete it without opening it, unless you've recently sent yourself email from that same address, which isn't necessary at all. If you must send yourself email reminders or whatever, use 2 or more email addresses and send yourself emails from one to the other. Solution: Filter out emails from your own email address. The specific way to set up such a filter depends on which email client or webmail service you use. There are too many email clients and webmail services to give specific filtering instructions for here. However, it's not hard to figure out how to do that. Helpful Ideas: A.) For my webmail accounts I set a filtering rule like: If 'From' = 'me@myaddress.com', Then Send to 'Trash'. B.) For my POP email accounts I use the free "Email Remover" program to delete all spam directly from the server, before opening my email client program. But my email client isn't set to check automatically for new emails. C.) Use 'Postini' or a similar service to filter out emails 'from' your own email address, as well as to filter out almost all other spam.

Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?

A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.

Does it mean one has been hacked if you get spam from yourself in your email?

No. Spammers can put any name or email address in the "sender" field. They can programmatically enter your name or email address as the sender, or even Santa Claus. This does by no way mean that your computer was hacked or accessed by other people. The reason they do this is because it increases the likelihood that you will open the email and react to whatever they are advertising. People are more tempted to open spam emails when it comes from someone they know, or particulary when it seems to come from themselves. The only real way to know where the message came from, is to check the email header and to track down the IP address of the sender's computer.

What are two things you should do when sending an email?

See if you have the right email address your sending to dont send to some weirdo!!!

What is a scrammer?

A scrammer is a term coined by Jim Carver to denote a class of people that are lower than the slime molds. We know that spammers are those that use the internet to push their marginal wares on persons without having any maketing knowhow. These persons have no native intelligence and probably got their computer from Joe down the street. Joe set it up for our genius and probably installed a version of windows 98, saying "if it's good enough for me, then it's probably over your head, too". But, later that night cousin Optout came over and presented genius with some pirated software he had stolen off the net the day before. "You know, genius, I think you could use this, if ya know how to run it, bein' that your outta job anyways". So he began using up bandwidth and people's hard drives to no end, but there was the paycheck and genius could buy that gismo that he had always wanted. Well, ok, this fictional account illistrates what I mean, but, enter the world of the scammer. He is a calculating dude. Much smarter than our genius above. He takes his tricks out of the annuals of con and downright deceit. Any methods are okay as long as he gets what he wants. (You can substituent he for she, I just write it this way to make it easier). And one day, he meets the spammer. So, spammer+scammer =scrammer. OK, that's it folks. Please don't edit this for content.

How do you reduce manpower if there are 16000 employees in an organization?

Reducing ManpowerThree primary methods, layoffs, atrition or early retirement bonuses. Unfortunately, layoffs end up causing more problems than they are worth. People tend to start looking for jobs when they see their co-workers get laid-off. Atrition just allows people to leave without hiring someone else to fill the spot. Necessary positions are re-filled from within the company.

Atrition and early retirement take a little longer, but give the employees much more confidence in the company, and end up with valuable employees staying.

Increase management to staff ratios:

Increase employee to employer ratio:In an organisation of 16,000 employees, there will be many levels of management with in the organisation. If the organisation were to assign more lower level employees to any one manager, they would then be able to reduce employee numbers. This is where middle management has its problems during recessions etc.

For e.g. (NB: unrealistic and oversimplifying):

  1. If a company has 128 employees to manage and each manager in the organisation has 2 people under them, the organisation diagram will look like this: 1 > 2 > 4 > 8 > 16 > 32 > 64 > 128. This means that there is 8 tiers in the organisation, and most importantly, 126 managers looking after 128 workers.
  2. As opposed to having a structure where each manager looks after 4 people, again with 128 workers, the structure will look like so: 1 > 4 > 16 > 64 > 128. In this case, there is only 5 tiers, and only 84 managers looking after 128 workers.

This difference of 42 managers is a huge reduction in the workforce. As seen, to do this the organisation must demand more from management, which could be done through a number of ways like training or higher wages. But in doing so, the manpower required in an organisation will be greatly diminished, especially the larger an organisation is, i.e. 16,000 employees.

How can you tell what coverage you have?

1, Call Your Agent!I would advise calling your agent to get an explanation, coverages and coverage requirement vary from state to state. 2Although answer 1 is not incorrect, you should receive documentation each time you renew an insurance policy. That documention includes a list of perils which are covered, the amount of coverage, and any deductibles which apply. 3Also, you should receive whats called a declarations page upon purchase or renewal of an insurance policy. On it, it will state your policy limits, applicable deductibles, among any other purchased or included coverages.

How often do men have morning erections?

The erection occurs 3 or more times during the night during REM (rapid eye movement) dreaming sleep. During this time there is more blood flow to urethra which causes the erection.

Here is A LOT of different answers i found in another question here.

  • Most healthy men often wake up in the morning with an erection. "Morning wood" and "Morning Glory" are slang terms for this. Men have several erections a night as part of their sleep cycle. Many times they wake up and find they are still erect.
  • A man's penis becomes erect in response to sexual arousal and excitement, but it can also become erect as a result of deep relaxation, such as that experienced in deep sleep called REM (rapid eye movement) -- a period of sleep during which you dream.
  • An erection is caused by a rush of blood to the penis. A man's penis -- especially that of a young man -- can also become erect without any kind of arousing stimulation; this is known as "spontaneous erection."
  • The male testosterone level is at its highest in the early morning during restful sleep, usually built up during the night and at its highest around 4-6 a.m. from my understanding.
  • Many times it has to do with what you are dreaming about -- guys can be aroused in their sleep and have a nocturnal emission (wet dream). But most often it is because you have to urinate. Most guys wake up erect or semi-erect. It's normal.
  • You do, also can get an erection by needing to pee. Cause' your bladder gets full and has to pee really bad, making it erect for some reason. (Forgot why it erects like that.) Anyways Hope this answer helps!

More answers down below

Morning erections are technically nighttime erections which happen during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep (when most dreaming occurs), although men older than sixty years may have them during even non-REM sleep. Generally, we experience four intervals of REM sleep per night. These spontaneous woodies in the wee hours are caused by specific neuroreflexes (whatever the word is called.) that are stimulated during REM sleep.

An erection has been proven to greatly relieve the pain of needing to urinate badly. The reason is because when you get an erection, a valve stops the urine from entering the urethra so that only semen can pass through the urethra during ejaculation. So the next time you're in your car in a traffic jam and you REALLY need to go... just use your imagination. Ha ha It works every time. It is partially why you have morning erections since it helps prevent you from peeing on yourself! Ever notice how difficult it is to urinate with an erection? Ever peed on yourself in bed since you hit puberty?

TRIVIA NOTE: the proper term for this phenomenon is Nocturnal Penile Tumescence!

it might be due to the dream you have been having that was perhaps about your girlfriend with no clothes on.

An alternative reason

The reason a man gets an erection in the mornings is one way to see if he is sterile, I went to the doctors with my wife to find out and that was one of the questions on the form I was given and they told me that it is a 98% chance that I am not sterile. and I thank god for that, but it is also a build up of testosterone in the male, more than likely though you will not have it if you have had a vasectomies.
