Could you possibly introduce me a site which features the world's smallest camera? Could you possibly introduce me a site which features the world's smallest camera? Just to clarify, I would add that I once read somewhere (I believe in a newspaper) that the world's smallest camera is in fact the size of the tip of a pin, and this article actually included a photograph of this camera. I don't remember if the picture I saw was that of a camcorder or a camera. Now I would like to ask you to forward me any links you may have or come across later on this subject.
why are lonelyplanet people so wierd? is it an art site? i mean their photos are limited, and the ones they do have of a city or country are horrible photos for information, maybe good for art's sake... i mean if its a site all about art then yea it might b good i dono i personnaly think its akward and wierd... if its an informational site they are horrible. world fact book and state.gov have such better info. lonelyplanet's stories are so wierd like about one lady who has showering on the trans-siberian railway in the sink perfectly... wtf ahh i cant stand them, waste of bandwidth and my time. any1 else feel the same way? my teacher reccomended it as a site to gain information on my research project.... well my project isnt about how to shower on the transsiberian railway...
Some good sites for facts on education around the world? I'm doing a report on lack of education in 3rd world countries and stuff, and I need some info on the matter. I need graphs too. If you could find some websites that have information about this, I'd greatly appreciate it. :) And also this report is supposed to have opinions in it, so I'd like you guys' opinions on the quality of education worldwide. Thanks.
How would I properly site this verse from Genesis in the Bible? This is my attempted citation below. Is it correct? If not, could you show me the correct way (rewrite it in your answer with proper citation)? "In fact, all the world came to Joseph to obtain rations of grain, for famine had gripped the whole world" (Genesis 41, 57).
Why did i defend the people of this site again? 99.9% of the world just can't get their minds around the fact that things may never be figured out entirely and this site is stuffed with those people who tell other people how it is.... when no one knows for sure...even science and physics explaining the way the world and universe are arguing over which explination is really true no one knows!@! Is there God? no one knows... is there total blackness after death? no one knows ...is it possible to fly as a human using your mind...not yet obviously, but is it possible before the end of all humanity... no one knows!!! i'm so tired of you yahooligans acting all wiser than thou...if i don't understand your question your nuts..and if its too complicated for me i'll answer it like i know anyway...for meaningless points ...thanks guys.
How does the Sydney Opera House affect Australian Identity? Hi guys. I'm doing a report on the Opera House and part of it is describing how the building contributed to Australia's national identity. I know that it is a marvellous building, an icon of Australia and arts, a controversial building if you talk about its construction and also the fact that it is a World Heritage Site. But I'm looking for a more elaborated answer. I've been googling it but I cant quite find what I'm looking for. If you can find anything to help me or even try to make a paragraph about it I would be very thankful.
Where can I find fast facts about the education of countries around the world? Hello. I am doing a project for work to demonstrate how education in the United States compares to education in other countries around the world. I'd like to display quick facts and statistics about the education systems of various countries, in order to illustrate just how fortunate Americans are. I've already searched google using every phrase I can think of, but the best I can find is general information on the educational history of countries. I'm interested in what it's like for students of different countries. [The best site I've found so far is this this site: http://www.travelpod.com/cgi-bin/guest.pl?tweb_UID=pchun88&tweb_tripID=china_2005&tweb_entryID=1124971860&tweb_PID=tpod , describing a day in the life of a Chinese student] If you know of any other sites, would you please post the links here? Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Do you think at the end of the world that every one will know the wrong and right? with information revolution, Do you think at the end of the world that every one will know what wrong is and what the right? I saw wikipedia site, and its categories like something could fit my mind follow. it is an indifference source for all information and facts. I know it needs time to be filtered and review the facts but I feel this site will be the center of all information in the world. I am always asking, when you have knowledge center and all the people in the world see it, Do you think every problem in the life will be solved? Do you think that there will not be any wars and every one in the life will know the what is the wrong and what is the right?
Is the world going to end or is it a joke? Ok, so i have been hearing a lot about 2012 being the last year or the end of the world because of the Mayan calendar ending. But WTF is this just another Y2K or is it like proven. I am sure we would have heard about it but someone give me like facts or a site that will calm my nerves...thanks in advance
Is there going to be a steel building erected on the former site of the World Trade Centers? I have heard about this. But is it myth, or is it true? I am not a conspiracy theorist. More of an analyst. I heard some other things, as well. I also heard that this will be a 'new tower of Babylon.' I also heard that we will all speak one language in the near future. Is it really that implausible? Society is changing in ways that would indicate that this may be true. We are heading towards one world government. There will be one world religion, one currency, etc. This will happen in either the near or intermediate future. It's all Biblical. Perhaps the facts end at the steel tower being built. I don't even know if that is a factual statement. Has anyone else heard about this?
Why do many Americans on this site refer to the USA as "the best country in the world"? when it clearly isn't? The crime rate is huge compared to many other industrialized countries. Poverty is widespread. The educational system isn't really that good (and dont say because it is public- many "socialist" European countries have better education). People are generally rude and arrogant. Profit is more important than people. There is less workers' rights. There is a shit health care system concerned more about profits than actually helping people (WHILE THE REST OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD ACTUALLY HAS A HUMANE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM). Americans are way too obsessed with their guns (guns may be necessary, but I honestly dont see any justice in shooting the guy who walks on your "property"). The American government spends more on military than essential human services. The government invades countries for their own strategic reasons. They do not care about people. Oh, did I mention that profit is the single most important thing in the USA? Personally, I am glad I do not live in the US. I would rather live in any other industrialized country than the US. In fact, the US is the WORSE industrialized country in the WORLD. I would rather even live in CUBA than the US.
Is there a cooler thing in the world then to watch a 30k 03/04 cobra smoke a 80k 07 z06 vette? I posted a youtube race in which a 04 cobra with nothing other then a supercharger swap smoke a stock 07 z06 vette. The mustang was so much faster then the vette that 2 chevy guys actually said there was no way the stang only had a supercharger swap. Hate to break it to you guys, but yes that is all it had. The guy is my friend, and he has the supercharger swap with the smaller pulleys that come with it, bigger fuel injectors and a tune. Thats it. It is a well know fact to anyone that has any racing experience at all that the 03/04 cobras with nothing other then a kenne bell or whipple swap can run low 10 second 1/4 miles. You can see it for yourself at any track in america on any given weekend. I will even post a site below that proves it to you. It has all the actual dyno info. 617rwhp with nothing more then a supercharger swap and the small supporting components. Ask any Chevy guy with racing experience, he will tell you the same. http://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/ford/cobra03/cobra03.htm The real chevy racers respect the 03/04 cobras like the real ford racers respect the corvette z06's. Take a 2002 z06 and put a supercharger on it and you better have some serious respect for that vette! heres the whippled cobra against the 07 z06 vette, watch the vette driver "bow down" to the cobra at the very end of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l5BYglRd0o heres a kenne bell cobra against a z06 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3oTLV7Z45Q Like I said above, this isnt B.S. or anything like that. I just wanted to share some info with the people that actually have a life and dont spend half of there life at the track like I do. If you doubt all that I have said and shown, go to any track in america or ask any guy that works at any dyno shop and you will either see or hear exactly the same as you have seen and heard here. The cobra come from the factory with a "built" motor. This means there engines have all forged internal parts so they are capable of handling up to 1000hp. For those of you that dont know, rwhp is Rear Wheel Horse Power. The number you get from the factory is fly wheel horse power. Its simple physics, the 07 z06 weighs around 3300lbs and makes 505 fly wheel hp which is equal to around 450rwhp. The 03/04 cobra (with the supercharger swap) weighs around 3600lbs and makes 617rwhp(or around 700 flywheel hp). Thats about 177 more rwhp then the z06, more then enough to make up for the 300lbs. JEFF A--- I agree with you 100% and appologize for having to post "street races". I do not in any way support street racing and wish I would have video taped last weekend at the track. I have just posted this street racing to show the potential of the 03/04 cobras and wont be posting anymore street racing. The track is absolutely the only place where you should race and this weekend I will be recording racing from the track and will only post that in the future. Monday, I will post some races so you guys can see some more cobras and vettes in action. EDIT-- I said earlier that one of the races was a friend of mine, it is not, I cant find the race on you tube that was the guy I know. (he is an internet friend I know from a mustang club, I do not live in the same state as him) LOL svo man, good point, just give us a wave as you go by npftech-- sorry, did we hurt your feelings, truth hurts doesnt it. The brag is that you can whoop a $80,000 z06 with a $25,000 04 cobra with a $3500 supercharger swap. So for a total cost of $28,500 you can smoke a $80,000 z06. Your comment makes no sense. The cobra is the only $30,000 car on the planet that completely stock with nothing more then switching superchargers, can beat lambos, farrari's, vipers, z06's. To make your z06 keep up with the cobra it would cost you an additional $3500. Thats something to brag about, "my $80,000 car can keep up with your $27,500 car if I added a supercharger, woo hoo!!!" npftech-- i just read your post again, wow. You dont see people get as hurt as you did unless we hit the nail right on the head. We could take the supercharger off the 04 cobra and if we had $50,000 to put in to the motor without a supercharger, the cobra would smoke the z06 without a supercharger. The price for the power and how easy it is to make a 04 cobra faster then a z06 is the point here. In the future, dont let the truth hurt and scare you so much, then you wont get as upset.
I am about to setup my first website and I could use some advice on the content structure of the site.? I'm looking to setup a personal travel website at this time that can be setup for affiliate purposes. I thought I would generalize so that I could affiliate with agancies at all corners of the world. The affiliates were easy to find, but I'm quite uncertain how to structure it so as to cerculate it effectively. Perhaps first I need to come up with an effective set of words that might allow me to work around the fact that I am not going to be a bonified travel agency, but will have all of the resources plus many many more. I'll have a blog, chat room, message board, photo gallery, and an incredible atlas site that will be hard to compete with, and so on, but I do need a place to start. Like I said in the beginning, I would like to generalize so that people can send in pictures, articles, and personal experiences from all over over the world. If you have any tips or suggests that could give me some perspective I would appreciate them much.Thank you all..
Can green consumers save the world? ‘Yes,’ says Julia Hailes of The New Green Consumer Guide. ‘Most of the world’s environmental problems are caused by the fact that there are too many of us consuming too much. But if consumerism is the problem, I believe green consumerism is a key part of the answer.’ ‘No,’ says Clive Bates, Head of Environment Policy at the Environment Agency. ‘A small proportion of farsighted people will of course choose to go green. A larger proportion might say they will, but actually won’t do anything – perhaps apart from buying a book about it.’ A debate worth checking out over at the Daily Telegraph online’s new EarthWatch mini-site. What do you think? Hey, esotericMn7, what's gia?
ihaterooney.co.uk - in answer to "Boycott World Cup Sponsors"? If you look in the resolved questions, there is a question asked by "boycott world cup sponsors". It asks if the site was created because Rooney is catholic, due to the fact that the site advertises a Rangers forum, pointing out that the site's basis is bigotry. I am the site creator and id like to clear this up. The rangersmediaforum site is advertised there because this is where the idea originated from. If the idiot asking the question bothered to look at the forum, they would realise that the site is completley anti bigotry. http://www.ihaterooney.co.uk was created in retaliation to the ihateronaldo site, and was made for a laugh. if Rooney was catholic, protestanant, musim, jewish - the site would still have been created. It is people like this who are the basis of bigotry problems in Scotland and indeed elsewhere in the world. To make a ridiculous claim like this is stupid and has no basis but to cause trouble. Read the facts before making stupid accusations.
Looking for a site that includes comparisons in gas prices from different decades? I hope someone can help me. I am part of a music forum, and each week, I post a song from the 60s or 70s. I like to include some little facts about what was going on in the world the week the song was released, but I cannot find one that has prices from that time. I'd like to have what the average cost of a loaf of bread, gallon of gas, new auto, etc, cost during that year. Any help would be appreciated.
is this what attiudes in the "civilised" western world have come to? "Not every human deserves humane treatment, in fact not every human deserves to be treated as well as an animal." has it really got to the point where people actually believe statements like this? how do views like this (judging from this site theres an awful lot of people who think this way) make us any different from those we call terrorists?
Why do kids ask people on this site to do research/homework for them? First off, if someone is asking for help after reading and trying and not having any success, that's fine. However, why do kids expect us to do research and their homework for them when in fact, it is THEIR fault that they waited until the last minute to do their homework? Now if it's just a general inquiry out of curiousity, it's no big deal but if it involves a homework assignment that was supposed to be done by the student, then that's just wrong. Kids, do your own homework and if you have trouble after attempting a problem or whatever, THEN come for help. Parents also need to instill good study habits with their children as well. I was ALWAYS taught to do my homework first, then I could play. I was also taught to do it MYSELF and not have someone do it for me. If you have someone do your homework for you, there's no learning going on. I would hate to imagine how these people would survive in the real world when they're adults. Pentalityism, I mentioned in my post that kids who have already worked out the problem and still have trouble should ask for help. My question was directed toward kids who want people doing the research and homework for them.
Do you agree with the following answer I found on this site? Mortgage banking meltdown: There's no valid reason but that America's corporate politicians are subservient to Wall street and the super rich. The Bush administration on Friday announced plans for a massive and unprecedented federal bailout of the US banking system. In separate appearances Friday morning, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and President Bush announced a series of measures to shore up collapsing financial markets and called on Congress to pass legislation next week to use, in Paulson’s words, “hundreds of billions” of taxpayer dollars to buy virtually worthless mortgage-backed assets that cannot be sold on the market from banks and other financial institutions. Paulson said he would meet over the weekend with congressional leaders to lay out the details of the government plan. With this plan, the full cost of the immense debts piled up by the banks will be imposed on the American people. It will shift the banks’ liabilities onto the federal government, sharply increasing government budget deficits and the US debt, a process that can only further erode the creditworthiness of the United States and place a bigger question mark on the value of the US dollar. The immediate line-up of both parties and the media behind the bailout plan for Wall Street stands in the starkest contrast to their indifference and inaction in regard to the plight of millions of American working people, who face a rising tide of home foreclosures, layoffs and sinking living standards. When it comes to the social needs of the people, the universal cry from corporate America and the two parties is, “There is no money,” but when the fortunes of the financial elite are threatened, the full power of the government and unlimited resources are marshaled virtually at a moment’s notice. There was no suggestion in the statements of Bush and Paulson of any relief for the working class—nothing to stop home foreclosures or help those who have already lost their homes. Rather, hundreds of billions—and more likely trillions—of dollars in public funds will be used to prop up the banks. The resulting bankrupting of the government will be used to justify a brutal assault on what remains of social programs, including Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and demand even greater financial “sacrifices” from workers, whether the next administration is headed by Obama or McCain. Nothing could more clearly demonstrate that behind the façade of American democracy there stands a dictatorship of big business. In his statement, Paulson said “comprehensive” action was needed “to address the root cause of our financial system stresses. The underlying weakness in our financial system today is illiquid mortgage assets that have lost value as the housing correction has proceeded.” This is a lie. The root cause of the crisis is the unbridled parasitism of American capitalism, which over a period of decades has dismantled huge sections of industry in order to reap super profits for the rich by means of financial speculation and fraud, based on a colossal buildup of debt. Now the bill is being passed to the American people. Bush, flanked by Paulson, Bernanke and Cox, called for a government bailout of Wall Street in the name of “our system of free enterprise.” “There will be ample opportunity to debate the origins of this problem,” he said. “Now is the time to solve it.” There will, in fact, be no debate or discussion. Nobody will be held accountable for the greatest financial scandal in world history. There will be no penalties. No one who made tens and hundreds of millions from the plundering of America will be forced to give back a dime. All of the financial resources of the United States are being placed at the disposal of Wall Street and every American citizen, without being asked, is being given the responsibility for covering the debts of the richest people in the country.

Can you name five good things about the city you live in? What about five bad things? 5 Good things about NYC: 1. The diversity and the richness of culture 2. The nightlife 3. The street cred you get when you tell people you're from here(especially Brooklyn) 4. The fact that everything is within reach 5. The drama that you can witness just by taking the train 5 Bad things about NYC 1. The snobbiness of a lot of the people there 2. The rent(no, I am not going to pay $3000 for a closet-sized studio, just because it has a view of the Statue of Liberty's left pupil) 3. The fact that the city is becoming so sanitized(where's our street cred? Why is Times Square turning into Disney World??). 4. The fact that graffiti is seen as the worst thing you could possibly do(as long as it's not a church or a private building, who CARES if someone tags a construction site or the Brooklyn bridge??). 5. The pickiness of the homeless people. NO, I do not have 73 cents. Whatever happened to just asking for change? Now it's, "Can I have a dollar?" Please.
average age of a player in the MLB World Series since the end of the deadball era? Does anyone know the facts, off the top of their heads. Don't do research and reward my laziness, though. On a related note, I find it very annoying and worthless that if one googles "World Series" along with any other combonation of words,, all one gets is dad-gum poker sites. I also find it sick to market that garbage to kids by saturating ESPN with tournaments and celebrity horsepucky. I'd rather my kid smoke weed and swear like a sailor to his teachers than gamble, personally. If I had a kid. But I would never have a kid, so I don't know what I'm talking about here. I'm totally off-topic. Some of the things that people will do for money just grind my gears. Some of the things that people spend their money on grind my gears as well, but let's just get back to the average age of a player in the MLB World Series, since the end of the deadball era, shall we? Effin' moneymakers...
I am thirsting for knowledge. Do you any site that provides much general information (world history..etc)? When I say general knowledge, i mean trivia, general information like History facts etc... ..Stuff like King Solomon's temple and Elizabeth Bathory. Thing is, I don't have much time to study every textbook ( I can't buy 'em all since they're expensive, haha) so I just need to resort to the Net. I tried Googling or typing that to search engines but the results were dissappointing. Besides, I told you, I lack time. Thanks for the help, ya guys *hey you guys, sorry for the typo up there in my question :( I mistakenly deleted a word (it should be do you KNOW any site that provides...) haha

Can one justify that the world has sufficient oxygen levels? On 07-30-07, the author sent a rough estimate of an overview of CO2 productions & emissions to 30 countries via their embassies as follows: 1. MICROORGANISMS (One dump site only per 15 mins. or per day) a.) Decay microorganisms - 10,000,000,000,000,000 (or 10 quadrillion MT) per 10-15 minutes (earlier shown) or say, a day. Assumption: 10MT of rotten wastes only in one dump site, not including the world; b.) Pathogens - Expect less volume. 2. PEOPLE - 179,478,000 MT/day (World) Assumption: 6.5 million world population of which 75% are inactive, expelling 6 liters per minute & 25% are athletic, expelling 100-150 liters per minute. Air weight is 1.3 grams per liter. 20% of O2 is assumed loss during respiration per minute. 3. ANIMALS - 58,406,400,000,000 MT/day (World) Assuming that each human has a counterpart of say, 1,000,000,000 animals at any given time. Likewise, expelling 6 liters of air per minute with 20% O2 loss. 4. PLANTATIONS - 132,821,006,472 MT per sq. hectare per day (World) Assumptions: Plants on arable land, comprising of 1,756,891,620 sq. hectares (net after deducting 60% desertified lands). Forests are not included due to no inventory recorded. Source: land area, devoted to agriculture, 1995 encyclopedia. A tree has a net of 3 kgs. CO2 a year. 5. TRANSPORTATION & INDUSTRIES - 40,273,972 MT per day (World) Assumption: No current data on coal & oil production & consumption. Based on 1995 encyclopedia's consumption per year. Studying desertified soils in 2001 revealed nil organic matter, meaning the decay microorganisms had already consumed them all and hence, soil carbon has diminished. Photosynthetic microorganisms are likewise nil. With 60% desertified soils recorded in 2005, this meant that the world's O2 production is low. The fact that CH4 increased means that burnt carbon (in combustion) is taking hydrogen from water vapor instead of O2. The depletion of O3 in the stratosphere and the CH4 (hovering in the sky for 12 long years) are already credible proofs of low levels of O2. The fact that the solar radiation triggers new strains (which could be either pathogen or non-pathogen), is another serious matter that cannot be prevented. With low O2 level, this cannot adequately shield earth and cannot strengthen organisms' immune system. As such, pandemic is inevitable. No matter one can say that we have sufficient O2, the study of UN-IPCC that rice lands are source of CH4, contradicts & discredits already one's belief of O2 is steady, constant and sufficient. The world therefore has to increased O2 production and suppressed decay microorganisms (as top one among the above 5 carbon emitters) from proliferating & dominating the world.
How does the Sydney Opera House affect Australian Identity? Hi guys. I'm doing a report on the Opera House and part of it is describing how the building contributed to Australia's national identity. I know that it is a marvellous building, an icon of Australia and arts, a controversial building if you talk about its construction and also the fact that it is a World Heritage Site. But I'm looking for a more elaborated answer. I've been googling it but I cant quite find what I'm looking for. If you can find anything to help me or even try to make a paragraph about it I would be very thankful.
Can we agree that evolution has been disproved? When it has been falsified in scientific peer reviewed journals. I assure you such an event will be headline news across the world. This will be the time for all you fundamentalist/creationists to ask/trumpet your question. Until then can you spare us the web site "facts" that are laughed at by the scientific community--until this all happens these posts just look silly and make you look like your village is looking for you.
How influential has American animation been since World War 2? How influential has American animation been since ww2. Any links to sites arguing why it was or wasn't or just any facts concerning any animators or animated films, examples of what way animation has been influenced etc would be muchos apprecaited. (^_~)
Information about the World War 2 air force? I'm making a photo map based on the poem 'There's A Mission Today' (which can be found here: http://www.merkki.com/poetry.htm ). I need ten facts or statements and a photo to go with each. I have eight so far. If you have any good informational sites, links, pictures, ideas, facts, stories-- ANYTHING! Please post them here. Anything- as long as it pertains to the Air Force during World War 2. Thanks guys.
Facts or sites about the treatment of mentally disabled people? I'm not looking for anything specific. It can be from any time period or part of the world or any kind of mental problem (ex: schizophrenia or mental retardation). Also, if you know if Dr. Josef Mengele (the infamous doctor during the Holocaust who performed inhumane experiments and operations on prisoners) did anything to mentally ill prisoners. I don't need sources, but if you can be as specific as possible, that would be great! Thanks in advance!
Did Nostradamus predict the world will end in 2012? Saw this guy quoting Nostradamus, saying he predicted 9/11 and that the world will end in 2012. well I did a little research on Nostradamus. I dont know, does anyone know anything else about him? I mean if the world really is ending in 3 years, I better get all my ducks in a row LOL. Ok, here's some Nostra info... In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb, The third big war will begin when the big city is burning. First off, let's say straight out that this was not written by Nostradamus at all. Yes it superficially resembles his style, but there is no such quatrain and he didn't write it. In fact, some sites that reference this verse state it was written in 1654 which would be an impressive feat for someone who died nearly 100 years before! Before we look at who did write it, let us use it as an exercise in critical thinking. We will break down the key points it raises: City of God. This could match anything you like - Mecca, or a city with a lot of churches (e.g. Rome), or a city with many religions (e.g. Jerusalem), or a city which is unusually impressive. You name it. Two brothers torn apart by chaos. Again this could be anything. Allied countries, or political party coalitions, or two ajoining neighborhoods, or royalty where there have been numerous inter marriages. etc. The third big war. Give me a break. How many big wars have there been since Nostradamus was alive? Even excluding WW I & II, you should immediately think of Vietnam, the Gulf War, the US Civil War, the Napoleonic wars, the Crimea, the Russian Civil War, the Russia-Japan war, the American War of Independence, the Spanish Civil War. And so on. Tens if not hundreds of thousands died in each these conflicts. Is that not big enough? A big city burning.. Tends to happen in wars. Dozens alone in World War II - Dresden, London, Berlin, Stalingrad, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo. Sometimes, though, the hoaxes are tongue-in-cheek: Come the millennium, month 12 In the home of greatest power, The village idiot will come forth To be acclaimed the leader. This was supposed, of course, to refer to the election of George W. Bush as President of the United States. Skeptics of Nostradamus state that his reputation as a prophet is largely manufactured by modern-day supporters who shoehorn his words into events that have either already occurred or are so imminent as to be inevitable, a process known as as "retroactive clairvoyance". No Nostradamus quatrain has been interpreted before a specific event occurs, beyond a very general level (e.g., a fire will occur, a war will start). A good demonstration of this flexible predicting is to take lyrics written by modern songwriters (e.g., Bob Dylan) and show that they are equally "prophetic". SO DID HE PREDICT THE WORLD WILL END?

Need to know more. Are there any sites that can help a senior high school student? I'm a senior in high school and I feel really stupid at school because there are students that have a higher calibur of knowledge. Part of my problem isn't jealousy per se but it's the fact that the world is competitive and I just feel like I'm falling behind. Are there any sites that can increase my education skills such as how to study efficiently, what should I know as a senior, and what should I be aware of?

WORLD WATCH: What will you do next? The "ultimate" pessimist will surely view the world as a literal LIVING HELL. No doubt some places in the world are shrouded with darkness, and chaos is a common friend. People from around the globe battle with poverty. Nature suffers from man's irresponsible actions. Political leaders greed over the wealth of their own nations like savage beasts. Some people prefer to ignore these facts. And yet some just would not mind. I was deeply bothered when I read an article regarding the nuke tests conducted by North Korea (check: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/un_koreas). According to the US Geological Survey, it created a 4.7 magnitude earthquake from across the testing site. The world leaders from UN condemned the action and stated that it was a violation of an earlier agreement. Having read the article made me recall the gore of the previous wars man has seen. For me, World War I and World War II were both nightmares, as other civil wars and nation-to-nation wars were (as well as Religious Wars). The noise of the world has created so much discord that we humans sometimes forget the beauty of living. Long gone were the days when all that was written on the newspaper were good news of discoveries, reconciliation, and the like. I am not dreaming of a perfect world nor of an ideal society. It would be silly to do so. As I have said earlier, some people ignore the problems the world faces. And some even would not mind. Yes, it is true that these things may not be our problems at the moment. But hey, come to think of it. We all live in one world. We all are heated by a single Sun. So, my question is, what will you do next know that you were beckoned regarding these things? As much as we would want to help the WHOLE world, we can only do much. What would be that simple thing you would do later on so that you could help the world? I myself would practice the values the some people in the world lack. Also, I would start correcting my mistakes, like being more forgiving, taking care of the environment, being content with what I have, upholding the truth at all times, and things as such. To top it all, I will pray that the world may ease, if not totally resolve, the conflicts it has been facing. It is your turn. What will you do next? Thanks for your answers and thoughts. :)) Most unique yet very sensible answer will be the best one. :))
Evolution is a fact! Or are so many brilliant people just wrong? "Today, nearly all leading biologists acknowledge that evolution is a fact. The term theory is no longer appropriate except when referring to the various models that attempt to explain how life evolves. All leading college institutions now teach macro-evolution as a fact rather than a theory." -(Dr. Neil A. Campbell, Biologist/Scientist, 2003) Dr. Neil A. Campbell, Biologist/Scientist: Neil is known world wide as the author of <Biology>, a textbook for biology majors. Since 1987, 65% of the market share for introductory biology has been held by his text with students being introduced to college biology via his words. Another way to examine his impact is that 65% of all U.S. biological scientists, physicians, biology teachers, and biotechnologists under the age of 37 used <Biology> as their introductory text. Neil also created of The Biology Place and The Chemistry Place web sites. Over 7000 high schools and 800 colleges and universities currently use these web sites.

Is that dragon story what we can expect in the future, regarding freedom in the world? The freedom to draw together facts and make them into something to sell to tv companies. It certainly looks like a hoax after reading the web sites. Referring to the 'dragons' found in a Romanian mountain cave - is on the web in a few places. Dynamasis - that is the film I saw. No actual pictures show, only the dramatisation of the 'dragon' in evolution and the dramatisation of the paleontologists. A comment on the bible though, is that in this film the creature found was said to be the only vertibrate with 6 limbs. If angels are depicted a the same, then was this creature the origin of the Christian angel myth? 4 limbs and 2 wings. "Out with the fantastic creature, in with something on god's side". And making this real creature into myth instead.
Why do people still deny that historical FACT that Egypt was founded by black people? The earliest mummy found in Anchient Egypt; http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh137/collector24/maiherpri2.jpg A Pharaoh :http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/egypt/history/pictures/shabaka.jpg At the core of the debate were two questions: were the ancient Egyptians a Black African people, and to what extent was the civilization of ancient Greece indebted to learning borrowed or stolen from ancient Egypt. Although the debate was cast in terms of Black Athena (Bernal) vs. Not Out of Africa (Lefkowitz), the true debate was between the Africentrists and the Eurocentrists, for much of what Bernal had to say in Black Athena on the questions at issue had been stated long before him by the Africentric scholars of this century, notably James (Stolen Legacy), and Diop (African Origins of Civilization and Civilization or Barbarism). Key figures on the Africentric side of this larger debate were notable by their absence, for example, Ivan Van Sertima, Theophile Obenga, Charles Finch, Molefi Asante, Maulana Karenga, and Marimba Ani. On the other side, some of the well-known and very active detractors of the Africentrists were present, notably Bernard Ortiz de Montellano, supported also by Frank Yurco, who contributed from "off-line". These were supported by a number of less well known but nonetheless notable scholars attempting to "hold the line" for the received Eurocentric claims that were under atack. There were certainly enough professional scholars on both sides of the debate to make of this a remarkable cyber-event. The debate was a great victory for the Africentric side. This probably explains why so little was heard of this remarkable cyber-event. There exists a site in southern Egypt that is the oldest astronomical site in the world. This site, called Nabta, was created some 6500 years ago by a Neolithic people who were concerned with the progress of the year. The circle of standing stones allowed the people to determine when the solstices occurred as well as rainy seasons. This sub-Saharan culture is likely to be the predecessor of the Egyptians. The site was excavated by Fred Wendorf and John (Kim) Malville. http://hej3.as.utexas.edu/~www/wheel/africa/nabta_01.htm The red haired mummy myth debunked : http://www.archaeology.org/interactive/hierakonpolis/field/hair.html he burial place of king scorpion (dynasty o) dating back to at least 1000 years before the first dynasty has been discovered with proto acient egyptian writing.This proves once more along with discoveries at Ta seti that egyptian civilisation developed writing well before mesopotania as previous thought. There was so much evidence presented(I saw this programme today on british aka eurocentric channel 5- with hawass commenting onthe findings. Eurocentrists should therefore stop this nonsense that writing or civilisation began in the middle east.Such talk is dish-honest- an attempt to cling on a dying if not already dead caucasian myth.

Is all the hate and insanity around because of the world wide proliferation of illicit drugs? Another question I asked about the war on terror brought out some really off the wall comments about the WTC, Pentagon and Pa. crash sites. People were saying that US gov. did the damage with explosives and the planes were a diversion. These kooks had references to web sites where more kooks had published more insane articles by more insane experts.I don't know if it is the anonimity of the net that causes this proliferation of totally unreal ideas or if these nuts have just cooked their brains with years of drugs use. I went to some of those sites and found absolutely no facts to back up any of the fairyland verbage. I don't have time to follow all of the links that link to all of the links of insanity but I think someone should compile and publish a list of the not so sane. I have a feeling the sites with twenty or so contributors are actually a couple of kooks sitting around a water pipe waiting for their kitchen to blow off the house.

Was the destruction of the World Trade Center a crime, or an act of war? When civilians injure civilians, isn't that crime? War involves states. Crime is addressed by persistent investigation, forensic studies, identification of those responsible, taking them into custody and bringing them to trial in open court where all relevant facts are brought out into the open for public view. The first rule in forensic examination of evidence is that you disturb nothing until your studies are completed. Criminal investigation of the WTC attack was prevented by the immediate bulldozing of the site and the removal of all remaining steel which was melted down in a foundry. What was the big rush, anyway? If successful criminal investigation of the WTC event had been conducted, then by now we might have seen Osama Bin Laden apprehended and put on trial, as the Israelis did with Adolf Eichman. Isn't calling a crime an act of war used as a means to whip up emotions and get the people to give up liberties to a leader who appoints himself a "wartime president"
