I am taking John Miller for 1301 and am not sure if I should take him for 1302.
Thanks!

Take Mr. Miller hes good !

My english teacher is an old lady who basically only teaches when she feels like it, but because of the teachers unions in California her tenure makes it so she cant be fired. Myself and other students have talked with the superintendent of the school district, principal of my high school, etc., but she cant be fired. Is it even possible to fire a terrible teacher like this?
BTW: Its not just kids who hate their teacher and are in some stupid grudge, the superintendant of the district wants to fire her.

Repeat the Serenity Prayer regarding this teacher: God give me the strength to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I can not change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Translation: stop beating your head against the wall over this teacher. You can not get this teacher fired. If the superintendent can not do it, then barring some egregious misconduct, you will not be successful at getting her removed.

Learn what you can from the situation. Move on with your life. This too will pass.

I’ve been reading my required textbook for my Political Science class, trying to find the specific terms that matches the definitions. Here are some of the definitions that my instructor assigned for homework that I’m stuck on :

5.) Strong state governments over the central government.

12.) Creates a smaller national government and gives power back to the states.

Any help would be appreciated!

I, also am a Political Science major. As far as 5 goes that sounds like a Confederation but the other I am not sure what that term would be

You never see a physics professor from Berkeley or a successful lawyer from Manhattan on TV telling people about seeing a ghost. It always seems to be common folk living in the sticks. Why is that? Do small towns in Indiana and Alabama have more ghosts than NYC?
OR less educated people tend to believe in such things . . .
It’s funny how "logic" is being used to defend the supernatural.

Educated people usually try to find a logical, scientific reason in what they see. It’s most likely that those from small towns are more prone to hear stories and legends about ghosts and the like that they think what they see is paranormal in a way.

There could also be the fact that cities are more concerned with things like business, fashion and sports rather than ghost stories.

Anything will help but I need at least 15 things that the state department does as its role in the executive branch and more on what there responsibility is. I can not find any of this on the web. Thanks for any help.

Did you look at http://www.state.gov/ , the website for the US Dept of State? If you scroll down to the bottom of the first page there is a column on the right that has their mission statement. I didn’t read it but it will probably provide the info you are looking for or at least be a starting point.

This is a course on options

Long position - a positive amount of a quantity, or a positive exposure to a quantity

Short Position - a negative amount of a quantity, or a negative exposure to a quantity

I thought I knew what these meant… but these definitions are confusing me.

Hello every body ! there is no arms in trying they say, my names are Tania Twite am a widow with 3 kids, a teacher here in the United Kingdom i have been fraud by fraud stars in Nigeria i sold all my belongings and all i have in my account in other to obtain a loan in Nigeria but still i was duped by them.

At that time i decided not to do business with Nigerians, In effect of what i pass through that time i went frustrated begging for shelter an food to survive not until one faithful day i went online there i met an online friend of mine who base in the United State of America and so i narrated all that happened to me and she said that she can’t do any thing to help me now because she doesn’t have any money with her that the only help she can render to me is by introducing me to an online voluntary organization in Nigeria that they can help me out of my present predicament when she said NIGERIA i laughed and said to her that Nigeria is a terrible nightmare to me and i have vow not to do any thing with them so she said i should trust her and really because of the trust i have for her i gave it a try and i was given the sum of $ 100,000 by the WILLIAM MORGAN VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATION to start up a business after which pay back 50% with out any interest

I would just like to know what the best department store (like anything you can get at Macy’s) foundation is. Also, I would like feedback about other brands you have used. If you know any good drugstore foundation brands, that would be really helpful too. Thanks in advance!

Hey =]]

You can buy great products at Macy’s and what not. I have tried alot of them.
( mother is a makeup artist)

Then again i have tried makeup from Mac to elf… And Sure there is a great difference between them and their quality…

I really like mac. but the price is Insane! but it lasts a long time.
Clinique is really good, but i think more of old people. haha. since its more for sensitive skin.
Shiseido, is actually my favorite brand for foundation. their coverstick is AMAZING, but its not really good for super dry skin.

Dior has a great consistency and light coverage….
I like channel as well but not their foundation. I find them drying and it makes sensitive skin peel a little.

But okay, now for the little SURPRIZE!
Have you heard of Revlon PhotoReady foundation?
Its WOW!
Cost about $10 and the coverage is quite good.! You can build it up, letting you control the coverage you want. I will surely buy this again. and I would mind paying the big money for it.
Advantage… I wont have to. =]
hahah.

I did a tutorial, and you can see the great covergade and consitency there. =]]]

Good Luck!! =]
hope this helps!!

Can somebody please tell me what is the difference between a degree in Political Science and a degree in Government? Is there any difference?

The former focuses more on public policy and the latter on process.

There are a set of twins, Peter and Mary. They are both very competitive. They are both taking statistics and have to take a test. The professor has 2 different types of test formats, A and B. Mary took type A and Peter took type B. Format A exam value was from 0-100. The average was 50 points and the Standard Deviation was 20 points. For Test format B, the exam value was 0-100, the average was 50 pts, and the standard deviation was 30 pts. Who did better on the test?

To give the full answer to this question we need to know the scores Peter and Mary got. Since that information is not available, I will, for purposes of showing what to do, assume that Peter took exam A and got a score of 75, and Mary took Exam B with a score of 82.

If we assume that the scores on the exams are normally distributed then we can look at the percentile each person fell into for their Exam.

For any normal random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ , X ~ Normal( μ , σ ), (note that in most textbooks and literature the notation is with the variance, i.e., X ~ Normal( μ , σ² ). Most software denotes the normal with just the standard deviation.

You can translate into standard normal units by:
Z = ( X - μ ) / σ

Moving from the standard normal back to the original distribution using:
X = μ + Z * σ

Where Z ~ Normal( μ = 0, σ = 1). You can then use the standard normal cdf tables to get probabilities.

An applet for finding the values:
http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~naras/jsm/FindProbability.html

calculator:
http://stattrek.com/Tables/normal.aspx

how to read the tables:
http://rlbroderson.tripod.com/statistics/norm_prob_dist_ed9.html

In this question we have, for Exam A
X ~ Normal( μ = 50 , σ² = 400 )
X ~ Normal( μ = 50 , σ = 20 )

And the percentile Peter’s score is in:

Find P( X < 75 )
P( ( X - μ ) / σ < ( 75 - 50 ) / 20 )
= P( Z < 1.25 )
= 0.8943502

So Peter did better than 89.44% of the the others taking this exam.

For Mary we have:
X ~ Normal( μ = 50 , σ² = 900 )
X ~ Normal( μ = 50 , σ = 30 )

Find P( X < 82 )
P( ( X - μ ) / σ < ( 82 - 50 ) / 30 )
= P( Z < 1.066667 )
= 0.8569388

So Mary did better than 85.69% of the others taking Exam B.

Even though Mary had a higher numeric score than Peter, she is in a lower percentile for the exam she took. Peter did better on the exam he took than Mary did on the exam she took.

Lets say triggered smoke detector leads to call to fire department from monitoring company. How fire department respond to it, dispatches team to investigate? If there is no visible signs of fire from outside house, will they brake down door to make sure all clear and that’s its false alarm.

you will get a call from Adt and if they cant reach you you have a backup list with people who have a key they will let them in if there is no sign of a fire
