Hi. I am starting this year as 1 year undergraduate student to work on Bachelor of Computer Science. I am thinking to work in future as computer programmer (or software engineer) or do something with hardware or both. I currently work on weekends and vacation as part-time merchandiser at Macy's for a low-wage. It gives me of course no experience and only take away my time and I don't earn much. I think about quitting and getter a better job, related more to my field. Would be at first experience with computers working at Bestbuy with repairing, reinstalling software, parts and troubelshooting computers a good idea? should I get for that A+ certification?

I am near 20 years old. I go to DePaul University.

I am looking for good (and CHEAP) graduate schools for Criminal Justice, and East Carolina Univ popped up as an option.
From the research that I have done strictly on the internet, Eastern Carolina Univ looks pretty good, and is very cheap. Does anyone have any opinions about the school, or Greenville NC in general? Is it a large school/town? Is it a nice campus/town?Would it be worth it for me to move across the country to attend this school?
Also, if anyone has any insight about the Criminal Justice program, that would be great!

Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events."

I'm 27 and I live in southern california. I really want to become a special education teacher as that is my true calling. I absolutely love working with disabled children. I am really interested in going to university of phoenix due to the fact that I am already 27 and their program is faster than other universities. My only problem is that I have learning disabilities: dyscalculia (math learning disability), dyslexia (the reading comprehension type),and a processing disorder as well as hearing loss in the right ear. My question to people who have went there is this: Do they help you to succeed? Or are they the type of university that doesn't help you at all no matter what? I really want to know before making my decision. Thanks all!

Over the last few days the financial pages of British newspapers have featured headlines such as "Is Russia safe for business", "Shell mauled by Russian bear", and "Gazprom in Sakhalin grab". As many Western investors see it, Gazprom backed by the Kremlin has crudely bludgeoned Shell into surrender.

I want the meaning of bear here, Sakhalin grap.
Shell is an oil company.

I've tried to look for one, but most of them are made for little kids. Pretty much all the Math programs I've found are almost like old Nintendo like Mario games with Math thrown in there as a bonus.

This would be fine if I were a little kid with a small attention span, but I am a college student who never took math as seriously as I should have. In the college I go to they expect people to do math without a calculator and I unless I train myself somehow I absolutely CANNOT do this.

Anyway, is there any program or anything to learn multiplication THAT ISN'T DIRECTED towards little kids who want to play games? Isn't there any serious Math training programs out there? If not I guess I'll have to do everything by pen and paper but I am not very good at self taught type stuff. It'd be nice if there were a serious program for PC to do this.

So if the prompt says "approximately" 250 words, and I have 298 words in the word count, would that be okay or would that undermine my essay? Deleting a sentence would lose details that are concluded in the conclusion paragraph...so I really wish not to delete anything. So would it weaken the essay if I had 48 more words than the requirement?

It is all for an essay I am writing and english isn't my first language.
I do not wish to bother you with details. But I have to write about raising or breeding pigs. I would like to know what are the different names of a pig ? ( i mean the name of the male pig/female pig/young pigs/suckling pigs..etc.)The name of the p;lace they are kept in a farm. is it right to use the term "raising" or "breeding" or is there a more apropriate term? And finaly does anybody know anything about keeping pigs, any terms or knoweledge that would make my writing sound realistic ? Or maybe a web site from which i might get such information.
Thank you for your help .
