i've been going to this dating website for a year and so has he. he's sent me two emails i haven't opened them yet and i don't think i will unless i see he doesn't come online anymore. namely, this person is my professor & he knows i know it's him.

i have my pride & dignity and I'm not going to open something that might lead into some form of manipulation. if he truly cared about me, he'd send me a private email, right?

Once again this is for a finance class and I'm really struggling...I want the answer sure, but I also want to understand how the answer is achieved. Please, help!!! Or can you recommend a good website or something that will help with finance courses?

I already have 2 years complete from a community college, so all i need is two more years to get B.S.
However, because i work full time and i don't have time to go to a campus anymore I am considering univ. of phoenix online. Gonna cost me about $25k for two years, but that's the way to go it seems if you want a job that pays $60k/year.
Does anyone know about this school, is it good or not? What do you think? Please give me your opinion/advice.
thank you!

Two men were having a drink after work.

They both ordered the same drink.(Whiskey on the rocks)

Guy number one drank his quickly, while guy number two sipped his throughout the conversation.

After a while, guy number two fell off the barstool and died. His drink had poison in it!!!! How is it, that guy number one didn't get poisoned, but guy number two did...if they both ordered the same drink.

Can you figure it out???

I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Criminal Justice and I am looking for jobs once I graduate. The problem is that everyone wants me to have experience, but nobody is willing to give it to me. It seems like the only thing I can do after graduation is become a police officer, but I could've done that without graduate school. I want to do something related to criminal investigations, but I have no idea how to get there without becoming a police officer. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to prepare for my research project and have to come up with ten one-sentence scenarios. These scenarios may involve witnessing criminal events, experiencing natural disasters, running into accidents (i.e. burning car or drowning person), or encountering potential harm to another (i.e. child / adult severely injured by another in a fight, etc.). It could be situations in which you encounter that you did not know how to respond.

I have came up with some scenarios, but it sounds a little shaky so I am asking for you help.

Ex: You're walking down the street and saw a couple arguing
intensely what would you do?

Thank you,

A horse travels a certain distance day after day. Two of its legs travel 30 miles each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 miles. It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true. It's a normal horse.

How is this possible?
