Education & Reference - 11 July 2007

One social services agency receives funds from the government for an annual electric bill assistance program. this agency then grants these funds to another agency so that this latter agency can sign people up for the program and distribute the funds (I don't know why the funds don't go to this agency directly).

When people call me and I tell them to contact the second agency, they frequently inquire as to whether the first agency has a program. I suppose they do this because they feel as though they are losing out on something. So, then, it's my job to explain to them that the first agency _____ the program and that the second _____ it. I am looking for two verbs that would accurately express the respective functions of the two agencies in this situation. I am particularly confused about where to use the verb "administer." Which one of these agencies administers the program? If one "administers" it, what does the other one do? I'm looking for a single verb to express these ideas.

I am writing a five paragrpah essay on comparing and contrasting of a chraracter of a book to myself. I already know the basic format to a five paragraph essay of; Introduction, 3 Body Paragraphs and Conlcusion. The thing that I am having difficulty with is with one of the Body Paragraphs. I have one 'Comparing Paragraph' and one 'Contrasting Paragraph', I just do not know what the third paragraph should be. I want to avoid doing another comparing paragraph or another contrasting paragraph alone. What other choices do I have, if any?

I want to go to Boston college but I am not sure if its possible for me. I have a 2.1 GPA and chances are its going to fall even more because the school refuses to help me out with my conditon. I have a learning disability and they are very reluctant to do anything about the future or my past grades. I have taken AP Euro (i got a 4 on the exam) I took AP US (grade not yet known) and I took AP English (I got a 3 on the exam). What are my chances of getting into the university? I have asked my counsler and he wont help and I have no clue about colleges since I wasn't born here (I was born in Ukraine but I am a US citizen). So what are my chances on acceptance?

One additional question to those who can answer this. How likely would it be able for me to sue the college into accepting me on the stance of discrimination against the mentally disadvantaged?

That's what somebody told me just today. Back then, I thought that if you LIED about being a felon, then you couldn't get financial aid but you can still go to college. Maybe I'm getting this all confused. But I know this girl who's on probation with the law, & she's 17 & going to college, but her guardian is paying for it out of pocket. Do you think she perhaps LIED on her application?

I don't know whether it means that a person thus described is impervious to insult and genuinely doesn't feel emotional hurt or that they don't register insults and do not connect to their feelings? Or does it mean something else?

Hello. I am considering going to culinary school but I was told by someone who used to attend it that you have to taste wine. I don't drink alchohol because of my religion & my health. Can anyone offer me some advice? Is wine tasting a requirement for studying culinary arts? Thanks.

I've been having a hard time deciding what is it that I want to do with my life in terms of what I want to study. I think it is particulary because my interests seem complete opposites from what I think. I love art and fashion and was thinking of becoming a fashion designer, something I'm really good at, or an illustrator or graphic artist of some kind because I'm great at drawing. Aside from having artistic talent you could say I'm a very smart person and I love the fields of biology and anything that has to do with nature and ancient history and archeology. I have an immense knowledge of history, have read many important books, know countless things about ancient civilizations and the natural world and have an interest in doing something for it since its being practically destroyed. I'm having a really hard time choosing and would like some help. My school doesn't have a counselor that can help me and I want help from someone that is used to helping people with this kind of dilemma.
