Ten points will go to the person with the most unique/random state law on the books that *I* don't know.

An example: It is illegal to go whale hunting in Oklahoma. Sad, but true.

Ready...go!

I was reading Warcraft the Sunwell Trilogy, a graphic novel by Richard A. Knaak. I noticed he uses the term "was now" pretty often and it always strikes me as strange when I read it. Shouldn't it be "was then" since it is past tense. After noticing this I searched online and found other works of his with the same phrase. And searching google for "was now" returns upwards of 22 million results so either it's not really wrong english or there are a lot of people making this same mistake.

Example passage from the book:
Not that they had any choice anymore. The Sunwell was now ours.

This is involving substitution

5x - 2y = -5
y - 5x = 3

Are students eligible for welfare?

I know all about financial aid (which in no way meets all the costs of school even the maximum amount) I missed out on the cal grants, and bog waivers for school so I see how easy it can be to miss the help you really needed.

Many people have very low to no income that do their best but could use help don't know they are eligible for help. Personally I worked for years inbetween school not knowing I could have gotten a little help with housing in CA.

So I wondered being a starving full time student myself, can a student get help from welfare? If they have no kids? No parents?

How does welfare work, do you pay it back when you start working again? Or government gets the money back on your taxes the next tax year?

Some of us weren't born with a trust fund or inhertitance so please don't be rude, It's a serious question for those brave enough to share their experience. Thank you for answering if you can.

I can't believe I'm considering my next degree, I feel like I've been in school forever. I am a fairly new nurse, my interest is maternal child health, ob/gyn surgeries, babies, possibly NICU, L&D. I picture myself helping women and children, would love to work in a clinic setting also, really enjoy teenagers, std clinics, planned parenthood, WIC, that sort of thing.

I had considered the CNM (Nurse Midwife) but lately was pondering just the Masters in Nursing (MSN) or even Masters in Public Health (MPH). Given what I've said about my interests, does anyone in the medical field have any recommendations for me? Not sure which way to go, or which degree goes the farthest.?

There are eight rooms, each with a single door to go in and out.

Four of the rooms have light switches and four of them have light bulbs.

You can enter and exit each room exactly one time. After you leave a room, the door closes and locks behind you.

Your job is to determine which light switches control which light bulbs.
