The Latest Twist in Student Loans

The Latest Twist in Student Loans: "It sounds like a great idea. For individual lenders, the loans are promoted as a way to earn a decent rate of return while helping a student in need. For borrowers, the allure is the prospect of securing an interest rate that's lower than the 6% to 16% that conventional lenders charge for private loans"

How to Know God Exists

Comfort Food -- Ray Comfort's Blog: Special Post--from <em>How to Know God Exists</em>: "It is legitimate, though, to ask: How can we know the Bible is divinely inspired? The Bible declares that it is the Word of God, His communication to humanity, so He certainly would give us evidence that it truly is His Word. The fulfilled prophecies, the amazing consistency, and the many scientific statements of the Bible provide evidence that it is supernatural in origin. We will look at some examples, and then we’ll consider what it is that gives even more credibility to the reality of God and the inspiration of the Scriptures."

Truth Or Tradition - 23 Arguments for the Historical Validity of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Truth Or Tradition - 23 Arguments for the Historical Validity of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ: "If true, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the single most important event in the history of mankind, and therefore the one most crucial to establish as an authentic historical event. In fact, the resurrection is the very linchpin of the Christian faith, holding together every claim and every blessing. If the resurrection could be proven a fraud, Christianity would disintegrate as a total fabrication with little redeeming merit. Jesus would not even be an example of a “good moral teacher,” as some maintain, for his most important prediction—that he would be raised from the dead—would be found a lie."

Cornell Notes

Cornell Notes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The student divides the paper into two columns: the note-taking column (usually on the right) is twice the size of the key word column (on the left). Notes from a lecture or textbook are written in the note-taking column. Afterwards, relevant questions or key words are written in the key word column. The student also writes a short summary on the last four lines.

The student then covers up the note-taking column and responds to the questions/keywords in the key word column. The student is encouraged to reflect on the material and review the notes regularly. The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes.

After the notes have been taken, the student then writes a brief summary at the bottom of the page. This helps to increase understanding of the topic."

hanging cameras from kites

: "These are pictures I took by hanging cameras from kites, a hobby I've played with on and off over the years. To get the camera to take pictures, I built a 555 timer circuit that, every 13 seconds, throws a relay wired to the camera's shutter button. I used a small delta kite (larger ones on the way) and a cheap $30 digital camera with a large SD card."

One of the major skills you'll have to perfect is the ability to roll your 'r's, known to linguists as the alveolar trill.

Many people have trouble creating the rolling R sound if they have not learned to do so as a child.

Sex, drugs and dating make teens feel older

Sex, drugs and dating make teens feel older: "Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with assistance from the University of Victoria, surveyed a random sample of nearly 700 adolescents from a medium-sized North American city and asked them questions about dating, sexual experience, smoking, alcohol and drug use. The participants, males and females between 12 to 19 years of age, were also asked how old they felt compared to their same-sex peers. Survey results indicated that, as is typical for teens, the sample felt older than their chronological age."
