I am working on a PowerPoint presentation for a History Project and this is one of the points I have to discuss. Please help!!!! We learned that the American Revolution wasn't fighting to get anything new, it was fighting to preserve their rights. Can someone help elaborate this?? THANKS!!

People we want to apologize for involving everyone in a silly, immature conflict. We are enrolled at a major Ivy League college and our professor of American History insisted all 1300 hundred of us join Yahoo. We are instructed to read all his answers and vote for or against him, however, we have to defend our responses for credit. Therefore sometimes his answers get and have gotten 800 votes (first question of the year) after which we dressed down. He is such a funny warm teacher bringing in cookies and harasses everyone from the Dean to the janitor. Excuse me. There have been questions in the past and when addressed the individual(s) joined the professors fan-contacts. Then recently there was an individual who did just what we are doing advertising a purported cheat; except we have proof.

You are reasonable intelligent people and know what a bell curve is, apply that to the individual. These of you who know their math read on Hypergeometric Distribution: Probability theory is based on the notion of a "Bernoulli trial"
heck it will not take an equation. Assume we have F objects from which to choose. Of these F, M are successes and F-M are failures. Next, we conduct n Bernoulli trials - for example we draw n balls (5 for Powerball) from the machine. What we need to know is the probability of getting p successes and n-p failures in those n trials. To match all five white balls, for example, you calculate the probability of 5 successes and 0 failures in 5 trials. Each of these terms boils down to counting. To calculate the denominator, begin by realizing that there are F ways of selecting the first object, F-1, ways of selecting the second object, and so on to F-n ways of selecting the nth object. The total number of ways of making this selection, therefore, is F(F-1)(F-2)...(F-n). However, in our case the order of selection does not matter -- (1,2,3,4,5) is the same as (5,4,3,2,1). We need to adjust for the number of combinations that are identical save for order.

Therefore apply either to the individuals’ rate of "Best Answers" and you will find it is impossible to achieve such a rating. That is unless you have done exactly what he claimed others had done opened a multitude of aliases. If you check his answers it is the same individuals who ask a question then select him as "Best Answer" or he has them vote him. (Check all of his questions, you will the pattern. He answers to Tome_Legion, Zaneya, Eric, barik, catish, big_boss_man, mountain man, slick sam, x man to you, over yonder ; you see he has changed his name to Z for the question. Our computer class is tracking the IP on his addresses and turning it over to Yahoo. We would urge you to track what you see, make sure of what you are getting.

Wormtail owes Harry his life, right? So why didn't Harry just call that in the graveyard? And do you think she'll (JKR) mention that in Deathly Hallows, it hasn't really been mentioned much at all in the 5th and 6th ones...

The first half of our life we study crap at schools,
the second half of our life, we work to death,
So whytf are we wasting ourselves here?

We brainwash ourselves at schools, we can't stand our bosses at work...

Why? Can anyone tell me WHY?
We have built a culture what sux, we can't do anything, what real animals acctually are subosed to do, we can't even think about it..

Are we happy? Are you happy? Who has brainwashed you to be happy? Ou yes, I know money is the solution for all..

I really wish to live on another planet, where aint such crap life like on this planet is..

We are ordered by a group of stupid pinheads (politics, presidents, diktators), who think only about themselves? Do you like it?

Or dou you like when our planet is going to be destroyed factories, who don't give a **** about nature? Global warming says anything?
Too bad that you will actually start to think about that in year 2300, when world populations has decreased 200x...

My grandfather was Albert Edward Speakman born in Handsworth, West Bromwich in the county of Stafford. His parents were Mary Ann Burrough and John Speakman. John and Mary's children were: Frederick, Richard "John" (we think it should have been John Richard), Albert Edward, Catherine M, and Harry. We know Catherine married a man with the last name Aarons (not sure of spelling) and they had a large family in London. Her son David use to write to my father when they were children.

My great grandfather John, born the 8th of June 1875 in Shifnal Salop, was the son of Richard Speakman and Catherine Edgerley. Their children were: John, George, Sarah E, Richard W, Charles E, Agnes C and Doris.

If anyone can help me find my relatives it would be amazing! I've never met another Speakman in my entire life *s*

I shoot with a Minolta x-370 SLR, which of course uses film, and yesterday I tried out a new kind-- Kodak Ultracolor 400-- and this is what happened with one of the rolls. Do you think there's a screw-up in the film's layers, or is this a photo lab botch?

some of the photos off that roll..

well I have read like the first three...a long long time ago and I also saw the movies, so I remember basically, sorta kinda what is happening to Harry.
But, do you guys think I should read five and six over again before I purchase 7? Or, is it okay if I start in the middle of the series (7)?...
