Book suggestions plz.?
Im really interested in political books that are non-fiction and include government secrets, conspiracys, our nations secrets, ect. I dont want books that have no evidence and its just a theory. a book lol this might sound weird but if u have ever seen national treasure 2 a book that would include stuff that the presidents book of secrets would include. An example of a book i found interesting was Family of Secrets that was about the Bush’s and the secrets of how they might of been elected president and their secret plans. Any suggestions? lol srry if iwas to specific.


Well, the DaVinci code is fiction but it is really good with conspiracys and stuff.

College Dropout is easily the better album.
Midwest Mac | Jan 17, 2010


College Dropout. GRODT was good (50’s best work IMO) but College Dropout was, to sum it up in one word, classic.

What's the history behind the color pink representing the female and the color blue representing the male?
Pink is just a lighter shade of red. Red is the color of blood, of war, in general, of men. Pink is lighter than red, so shouldn’t that mean a new (baby) man? While blue is a nice, calm, creative color, more typical of women.
What’s going on here?

Just a thought that popped into my head…


I don’t know the origin of the colors for the genders, but I know that pink used to be considered a boy color.
Audrey | Feb 02, 2010


Usng color for baby gender identification is (perhaps) a pretty recent development. Earlier in the twentieth century, color identification was used but it was reversed, as the previous poster noted. That is, pink was used for boys and blue for girls. This was noted in several newspaper articles (1914, 1918) advising that since pink was the stronger color and better for boys whereas blue is more delicate and therefore more suitable for girls.

It is also stated that the current identification didn

What is the difference between cyborg and android?
I was told it is because cyborgs are human/have human. And androids are just robots with human qualities.


Yep that’s about right.

Cyborg is formed from a contraction of cybernetic organism. The organism is the giveaway part. It has to contain living components, though not necessarily human.

Android comes from the Greek Andros = man and eidos = shape. It refers to a man shaped machine.

kurdiatcha | Feb 06, 2006


The person who told you was right. Cyborgs are basically organism with mechanical parts to increase their abilities. Androids are robots programmed to act like humans
knightscharge | Feb 06, 2006


That’s the way I understand it. Cyborgs are orignially human with cybernetic augmentation. Androids are human-like robots. But hey it’s science fiction so call it what you like.
PS that would make the terminator an android though, but in the movie Reese calls him a cyborg.

can someone check my grammar?
During the class performance while playing the kulintang together with the other accompany instruments, I notce he transformations that occur when the context for expression are altered. Specifically to the 2 pieces that was perform which is the Binalig and Tidtu. The Binalig usually express anger and this can be show through playing it on a moderate or fas tempo and emphasizing the accent. The other piece which is the Titdu usually perform in competition and this can only be express through playing it in a very fast tempo with precise accent and eveness of the sound to show the virtuosity of the performers.

During the class performance, I played the kulintang and others played various other instruments. I noticed the transformations that occur when the context for expression is altered, specifically in regard to the binalig and the tidtu, which were the two main instruments that were used. The binalig usually expresses anger, and this is shown in the way the instrument is played: in a moderate or fast tempo and emphasizing the musical accent. The other instrument, the tidtu, usually expresses competitiveness, and this is shown by playing it in a very fast tempo with a precise accent and evenness of the sounds to emphasize the virtuosity of the performers.

I hope the above helps. Some passages were very confusing, so I’m not sure if I corrected them properly.

Fourth Kind, The (2009)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: 1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. Modern-day, Alaska, where-mysteriously since the 1960s-a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

Where there is a spot for additional info, how is it best to word the following..
proficient in microsoft word
windows 98 (I believe that’s what operating system this is)
hobbies include..photography /photo editing , hiking and snowshoeing.
I have chaperoned a fifth grade class trip to a farm/winery.
The opening is for a para educator position. Unfortunately I have no job experience in that field except for the field trip and in high school I was a teachers aid for the fourth grade as a class.
Now, the tricky part is wording this in a resume. Should I leave out some things. I kind of feel that the limited experiences might be important.
