Tell me if this poem is good.

If there was a way for people not to be late
It would be very great
All we need is to be able to stop time
That way teachers don't act like we committed a crime
We just press a button then we may take our time
So there is no worry about the bells chime

Six other people and I have joined together to make up our own "Biggest Loser" team. The competition is much like the show... we wil have a weigh in every and the team that loses the most wins for that week. No one will be voted off. Since we are doing this for twelve weeks total, whoever loses the most weight by then will be the "Biggest Loser". The problem is we are having a hard time coming up with a team name. DO you guys have any ideas? Your ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

If countries can trade other countries' quotas to pollute more, it's just as bizarre as saying to a teacher, " I'll give you a chocolate bar if you get me out of detention"...
once again, plz be quick...
Thanks a lot!!!

I am in my junior year and I have a 3.73 weighted GPA and an 1830 SAT. Do I have a chance during the admissions process? Another scenario: I'm taking the SAT again in May and I am working for a 2100+ this time. I'm pretty sure by the end of 2nd semester, my overall weighted GPA should be about a 3.8-3.9. Will these improvements get me into UCSD? Thanks :)

A few years ago I was reading a Regency Era romance novel, and there was a mini-catfight that involved one woman insulting the other's sister by saying "her figure is always much too circular for her to circulate much in my circle." I Can't remember the exact quote, and my cousin has since taken the book back, but the gist of it was making fun of how often the woman was pregnant. The retort, which I remember a bit better, was "running in circles isn't really dear Daph's style...she lives in Grosvenor SQUARE."

Now, I gather that there's an implied insult in the word "square" -since it was emphasized- but I'm not sure of the exact meaning. I, at first, thought it meant something similar to the 20th century insult "don't be such a square", but now I'm thinking I was wrong.

Hands Signals
Sign language is a way of communication with hand motions. It is a language that has a lot of expressive thoughts and feeling. ASL, American Sign Language, is the language of choice, for the majority of America’s culturally Deaf. ASL is movement that involves shapes of the hands, arms, eyes, face, head and body posture to communicate . American Sign Language is one of the most commonly used language in the United States. It a beautiful visual language. Sign language has it’s grammatical and semantics rules. Sign Language is now consired a “foreign” language. It’s is a requirement that you have to know an addional language for most college.
In1620 the first book on sign language for deaf people contained the manual alphabet. Abbe Charles Michel de l’ Epee a French teacher for the deaf taught that deaf people could develop communication with themselves and the hearing world through Sign Language. Abbe was a very creative guy. Then in 1778, Samuel Heinicke taught speech and speech reading. Samuel set up the first public school for the deaf.
Years ago people didn’t see the deaf, they were locked away, sometimes in the basement. And were treated very badly. The public and even family thought the deaf were dumb and mute.
One of the most famously persons know to people is Helen keller. Helen was deaf and blind. She was a fablious person. She learned to live a perfectly normal live, dispite being left without sight or hearing after a devartating illness.
Dr. I. king Jordon, a former Galludet university president stated, “Deaf people can do anything the hearing can do but hear.” For example Heather Whitestone, former miss America and Amy Ecklund, Christy Smith, Cara Miller, Marlee Martin, Deanne Brcay are only a fraction that prove that Dr. I .King Jordon statement was right. Some years ago William House, ENT surgeon came up with a theory. A surgical process that would make the profoundly deaf-mute hear. The surgery is called, Cochlear Implants. This would offer the deaf a new world of sound, music, and speech to those that lives in a soundless cocoon. This surgery is offered to children as early as 12 months and adults to their senior year of life. The cochlear implant works from picking up sound through a microphone in a headpiece that is worn at the ear. The sound is sent along a cable to a processor, a mini-computer which turn the sound into digital signals. The devices are worn on a belt or, in some models, at the ear level. The transmitter, is held by a magnet on the side of the head behind the ear, and sends the sound via radio waves across the skin to the impant. The devices stimulate the auditory nerve, sending impulse to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. It been proven by development therapist that children who know sign language have a higher language ability than those kids who don’t know sign language. Robert Weitbrect, a deaf scientist invented the tty (teletypewriter). It a unique way telecommunication device for the deaf. He invented it in the year 1963. This is a device that allows alphanumeric charachers to be typed in and sent, usually one at a time. It also includes the use of abbreviations and punctiation, it the way the deaf communicate as the haring world do. How helpful would sign language be to parent? Very young children who have not grasped the verbal language could communicate wants and needs to their parents without the frustrations. Crying would be eliminated. Peace would rein supreme. What is really cool is the research with primate such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans they are also capable of learning and using sign language.
In conclusion, mastering a second language such as ASL can not only be beneficial but, profitable in the workplace. 10% of the public is hearing impaired or deaf. 10% of the public has the power to purchase goods and services. The ability to communicate with our hands could mean money in our hands.It also been proven that those who know American Sign Language as infants score higher on Standradized test measure higher on tests of I.Q. and out perform their peers in a variety of social and academic arenas. Those who teach their children at a early age and countiued to learn different languages it comes more naturally to them. The brain is a weird thing. Even a different language coming from the parent the baby will attempt to communicate. Sign language proven to increases the parents’ bond and interaction with their children. A couple downsides to not knowing American Sign Language is that it comes with poor language skills, frustration, academic problems, and inadequate social skill may lead to school drop- out, delinquency, and even adult criminal behavior.

I am interested in becoming a legal assistant / paralegal or lawyer. Is it possible to do the paralegal diploma first and if I think that I can learn more, than I could study law? Won’t I have to start from the beginning because I will have the basic knowledge from the paralegal school?

I want to find an online school because there is no school near enough were I am living. I found one but the school is not accredited. I asked the Stratford Career Institute via e-mail. They wrote:

"SCI is a member of the following organizations: the International
Council for Distance Education, the District of Columbia Licensure
Commission, the Council of Better Business Bureaus and the Better Business Bureau in Vermont. Our license or registration with these organizations is not an accreditation, however."

How can I find an accredited online school to study for a paralegal diploma? Is it also possible to study law online?

Are online diplomas valuable / accredited?
