A resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability that needs to be consumed to obtain a benefit from it. Anything that can be used to satisfy a human need is a resource. Utility or usability is what makes a object a resource. In most cases, commercial or even non-commerial factors require resource allocation through resource management. Value of a resourceThe purely economic value of a resource is controlled by supply and demand. This is, however, a narrow perspective on resources as there are many things that cannot be measured in money. Natural resources like forests, mountains etc. are considered beautiful so they have aesthetic value. Resources also have an ethical value as well, because it is our moral duty to protect and conserve them for the future generations. Characteristics of resourcesThis section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. If an appropriate WikiProject or portal exists, please adjust this template accordingly.

However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.

GNU Free Documentation License What resources do you know of for burial of person on low income, see details ? Q. A person I know has only a short time to live. He is on low income, has little resources, and no insurance. His only relatives are a mother in bad health and two half-sisters. He does own a cemetery space plus opening and closing. He doesn't plan to have a funeral, just immediate burial. Is there any way to resolve this situation regarding burial expenses? Asked by Gilligan - Fri Jan 18 11:48:50 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Contact either a funeral home or social services and explain the situation to them. Depending on your location, state and county, social services may pay for a burial. In the county I reside, here in NY, social services will pay for the casket and a vault if one is required. Visitation and service on the same day. All of this is providing the person has no assets. Afterwards, if assets are found the money must be paid back to the county. If your friend was in the service, there may be monies available there also. A funeral home or your local vets office can help you there, Answered by abby - Fri Jan 18 13:01:11 2008 What are good resources for applying for small business loans and grants? Q.

Q. I have mutual fund and index fund investments but would like to try creating my own portfolio. What are some good resources that explain how to create a diversified portfolio and how to rebalance and decide when to buy/sell new securities? I'd like to incorportate ETFs in the portfolio Asked by Tommy - Thu Aug 14 13:24:40 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. One resource that I use is "All About Asset Allocation" Richard Ferri. But if you are going to invest in individual companies, you also need references on how to pick individual companies. A couple of books on the subject are "The Intelligent Investor" Benjamin Graham and "Sensible Stock Investing" David Van Knapp. The 2nd is a cook book approach to picking stocks. Although I do not completely agree with the methodology the concept is nevertheless a good beginning.
