I am taking my boyfriend to Vegas and want to show him a good time. We both LOVE to party and are wondering which hotel would give us the best deal as far as party, VIP, gambling, open bar etc.

Thinking of starting a webcomic, would like feedback on this plotline…?

So this idea had been bouncing around in my head for the last several years, and I’ve tried to make it work several times since then, but I hated how it turned out, to say the least.

Anyhow, I feel like I can go somewhere with what I have right now, but I’d still like some opinions on what you all think. Here goes…

It is the year 2019, and the state of Colorado has spiraled out of control. From the skyline of Denver and the Rocky Mountains to the small farming communities of the northeast, dozens of street gangs have emerged to sow the seeds of violence aross the land. The wallets of others have tainted what little police remain in the state, and the only hope for law and order is the highest bidder.

Enter the Hydra Syndicate, a collection of bounty hunters, psychopaths, spies, and other dregs of this wretched society. For years, their powerful leaders–a teenage ex-circus star called “Mamba” Max Gareth, and the socialite hacker Zev “Eagle” Ricasso–have had a vision of peace…of a Colorado without crime and corruption. And the two boys intend to fulfill that vision no matter the cost.

But everything is about to change.

On a warm August evening, a meteor strikes near the town of Pierce, Colorado–the heart of Syndicate territory, and a strange-looking young girl is seen wandering through the center of town. The girl has no trace of a past–not a memory to her name–and her only possession is an old and battered flute. The words she speaks are nonsense, like no language ever heard before, and her talents are like nothng the Syndicate has ever seen. But strangest of all is her stunning resemblance to Max’s little sister…who died in his arms more than five years ago…

So begins the plot of “Julie”–the bleak, bloody, and darkly humorous life of two boys with a dream, the sacrifices that made it happen, and one girl’s search for identity that will change the course of history.

So, there you have it. My main concern for this plotline is that I’m not going to be able to take it seriously enough, especially since I’m planning it to involve human/animal hybrids, a mysterious traveling carnival, a three-legged stalker, and Lord knows what else. So if anyone wants to be the critic–go right ahead, I’d love to hear everything you have to say.

No North Pole by This SUMMER!?

Arctic sea ice could break apart completely at the North Pole this year, allowing ships to sail over the normally frozen top of the world.
ADVERTISEMENT

The potential landmark thaw – the first time in human history the pole would be ice-free – is a stark sign of global warming, according to an article Friday on the web site of the The Independent, a London newspaper.

“Symbolically it is hugely important,” said Mark Serreze of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. “There is supposed to be ice at the North Pole, not open water.”

Last year, the fabled Northwest Passage opened as Arctic ice retreated more than ever before.

There is no land at the North Pole, but as long as anyone has looked, it has remained a giant block of ice year-round. Scientists have been watching Arctic sea ice melt more and more each year. But each summer in recent years, the amount of ice has gotten thinner and thinner. Each winter’s freeze, therefore, results in a thinner pack that, this summer, could melt altogether.

“The issue is that, for the first time that I am aware of, the North Pole is covered with extensive first-year ice,” Serreze is quoted by The Independent. “I’d say it’s even-odds whether the North Pole melts out.”

Russia and other countries, meanwhile, have been arguing over who has rights to the region’s resources, including potential oil reserves.

Several studies in recent years have predicted that the North Pole could be ice-free within a few decades. Alarm has ratcheted up every summer as the ice gets thinner and thinner. In a study released June 10, scientist said the rapid meltoff in the Arctic could threaten permafrost in continental soil elsewhere above the Arctic circle in a warm version of the snowball effect.

Last summer saw a record melt of Arctic sea ice, which shrank to more than 30 percent below its average. Around the peak of the melt, in September, air temperatures over land in the western Arctic from August to October were more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above the 1978-2006 average.

“The rapid loss of sea ice can trigger widespread changes that would be felt across the region,” said Andrew Slater, also of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
What is your opinion!?!

Is it true…”You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide.”?

That’s a quote from Dr. Reid Bryson. I think it pretty much summarizes his position on the hypothesis of global warming being caused by CO2. Unfortunately he died in 2008 but I did come across an article on him before he died regarding climate change.

Before you read the article, you should have some sort of background on his credentials. Keep these in mind as you read his words.

- was identified by the British Institute of Geographers as the most frequently cited climatologist in the world
- holds the 30th PhD in Meteorology granted in the history of American education
- Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology
- in the 1970s he became the first director of what’s now the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies
- member of the United Nations Global 500 Roll of Honor
- has written more than 200 articles and five books ranging over the fields of geology, limnology, meteorology, climatology, archeology, and geography
- his volcanic eruptions and aerosol optical depth data has been added to the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology in Boulder, Colorado

Not surprisingly, he has been called “the father of the science of modern climatology.” When he first presented a paper before the AAAS that suggested that humans could affect the climate, he was laughed off the platform.

Does anything in that article make you question the certainty of man made climate change keeping in mind the credentials of Dr Reid Bryson?

Who do you think is the most entertaining NBA person of the decade?

Pick from this list:

Mark Cuban: His love and passion for the dallas marvericks franchise …He would create so much controversy during NBA games by running out to the court , arguing with refs , and saying whatever was on his mind…. and he didn’t care if he was fined millions or thousands of dollars …u gotta love a owner that cares about his team with passion…espcailly with those frowns and weird looks when the mavs lost..

Shaq: One of the biggest household names in sports history…….. he’s a movie star , rapper , and dominant NBA center……..besides from that his personality and memorable quotes gives fans entertainment besides from his basketball…….” I DON”T CARE ABOUT THE SACRAMENTO QUEENS”

Charles Barkley: Even though he was on his way to retirement in the 2000s….His nonsense NBA anaylzing makes TNT fun to watch……..Barkley should be the main reason why TNT NBA halftime is getting rating and awards

Ron Artest: The next generation of a Dennis Rodman player …but do you think he’s trying to hard sometimes?………..Even though the Detroit brawl was a unpleasant thing to watch it was still entertaining in a gulity pleasure type of way…….besides from that this guys crazy ….lol

Lebron James: You gotta love a superstar that can make u laugh on SNL and dress up like james brown…… Lebron is a great entertainer on the court and off the court…….. and don’t forget the Lebron and Kobe puppets

Jeff and Stan Van Gundy: I always thought Jeff never had a personality if you ever seen him coach the knicks…..but this guy has a lot of humor and things to say during his commentating… and stan just loves being that aggressive NBA coach I swear they always show him yelling in the locker room during a Orlando magic game…….besides from that one looks like Steve Busemi and the other looks like Ron Jermeny

Steve Nash: Come on I bet everybody was shocked when we saw what this guy can really do during his early years in dallas……..and what he did for the Suns……plus Two M.V.P and a couple of all star trips … he’s fun to watch with his flamboyant plays….. great class in NBA character

Kobe: Shaq and Kobe Era championships started in 2000… the shaq and kobe controversy… kobe false rape case in colorado… kobe don’t get along with shaq , kobe dont get along with phil jackson, kobe finally wins a M.V.P in 2008 , kobe wants to be traded because he hates the lakers, kobe wants jason kidd instead of andrew bynum, kobe scores 81 points , and the list goes on ………..he’s been controversial but that what makes him entertaining off the court and on the court

Is there really a scientific consensus on AGW, or is “scientific consensus” just an attention-getter?

Maybe the ‘consensus’ is just within the group of scientists who support the idea.

Here’s a link showing many scientists who disagree with the entire notion of agw. Below are a few examples. What do you think of their opinions?

http://ilovecarbondioxide.com/2009/01/hundreds-of-scientists-publicly.html

“Warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” – UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist

“Anyone who claims that the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.” – Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre in Oslo. Brekke has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and solar interaction with the Earth.

“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” — Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly. The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system” – Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

“Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the predictions by the UN-IPCC….The global temperature for 2007 was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the millennium…which is why ‘global warming’ is now called ‘climate change.’” – Climatologist Dr. Richard Keen of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado

Do most employers in NY obey this law when hiring people with criminal convictions?

SUMMARY OF STATE LAWS

The majority of states allow employers to refuse to hire anyone with a conviction record – or even an arrest that never led to conviction – because they have absolutely no guidelines or regulations on how an employer must evaluate a criminal history when considering an applicant. Only fourteen states have legal standards governing public employers’ consideration of an applicant’s criminal record that require an individualized assessment of the applicant’s qualifications and ability to do the job. These states are: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. To see an overview of the laws of all fourteen states, click here. Only five of those states – Hawaii, Kansas, New York, and Wisconsin – regulate private employers. Even when it comes to granting licenses for a wide range of occupations, only 21 states have standards that require a “direct,” “rational,” or “reasonable” relationship between the license sought and the applicant’s criminal history to justify the agency’s denial of license, while the other 29 states do not.

For a complete description of the 50 states’ laws concerning employment of people with criminal records, please see the Legal Action Center’s report After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry at http://lac.org/roadblocks-to-reentry/main.php?view=law&subaction=4.

New York
The New York State Human Rights Law states that an applicant may not be denied
employment or licensure because of his or her conviction record unless there is a direct
relationship between the offense and the job or license sought, or unless hiring or
licensure would create an unreasonable risk to property or to public or individual safety.21
This law applies to employers with ten or more employees.22 A person with a criminal
record who is denied employment is entitled to a statement of the reasons for such
denial.23 Factors to consider in analyzing whether employment may be denied are found
in N.Y. Corrections Law, Article 23-A.24 In addition, an employer may not inquire about
nor act upon an arrest that was terminated or determined in favor of the individual.25

Who do you think is the most entertaining NBA person of the decade?

Pick from this list:

Mark Cuban: His love and passion for the dallas marvericks franchise …He would create so much controversy during NBA games by running out to the court , arguing with refs , and saying whatever was on his mind…. and he didn’t care if he was fined millions or thousands of dollars …u gotta love a owner that cares about his team with passion…espcailly with those frowns and weird looks when the mavs lost..

Shaq: One of the biggest household names in sports history…….. he’s a movie star , rapper , and dominant NBA center……..besides from that his personality and memorable quotes gives fans entertainment besides from his basketball…….” I DON”T CARE ABOUT THE SACRAMENTO QUEENS”

Charles Barkley: Even though he was on his way to retirement in the 2000s….His nonsense NBA anaylzing makes TNT fun to watch……..Barkley should be the main reason why TNT NBA halftime is getting rating and awards

Ron Artest: The next generation of a Dennis Rodman player …but do you think he’s trying to hard sometimes?………..Even though the Detroit brawl was a unpleasant thing to watch it was still entertaining in a gulity pleasure type of way…….besides from that this guys crazy ….lol

Lebron James: You gotta love a superstar that can make u laugh on SNL and dress up like james brown…… Lebron is a great entertainer on the court and off the court…….. and don’t forget the Lebron and Kobe puppets

Jeff and Stan Van Gundy: I always thought Jeff never had a personality if you ever seen him coach the knicks…..but this guy has a lot of humor and things to say during his commentating… and stan just loves being that aggressive NBA coach I swear they always show him yelling in the locker room during a Orlando magic game…….besides from that one looks like Steve Busemi and the other looks like Ron Jermeny

Steve Nash: Come on I bet everybody was shocked when we saw what this guy can really do during his early years in dallas……..and what he did for the Suns……plus Two M.V.P and a couple of all star trips … he’s fun to watch with his flamboyant plays….. great class in NBA character

Kobe: Shaq and Kobe Era championships started in 2000… the shaq and kobe controversy… kobe false rape case in colorado… kobe don’t get along with shaq , kobe dont get along with phil jackson, kobe finally wins a M.V.P in 2008 , kobe wants to be traded because he hates the lakers, kobe wants jason kidd instead of andrew bynum, kobe scores 81 points , and the list goes on ………..he’s been controversial but that what makes him entertaining off the court and on the court

Is there really a scientific consensus on AGW, or is “scientific consensus” just an attention-getter?

Maybe the ‘consensus’ is just within the group of scientists who support the idea.

Here’s a link showing many scientists who disagree with the entire notion of agw. Below are a few examples. What do you think of their opinions?

http://ilovecarbondioxide.com/2009/01/hundreds-of-scientists-publicly.html

“Warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” – UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist

“Anyone who claims that the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.” – Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre in Oslo. Brekke has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and solar interaction with the Earth.

“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” — Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly. The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system” – Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

“Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the predictions by the UN-IPCC….The global temperature for 2007 was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the millennium…which is why ‘global warming’ is now called ‘climate change.’” – Climatologist Dr. Richard Keen of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado

Do most employers in NY obey this law when hiring people with criminal convictions?

SUMMARY OF STATE LAWS

The majority of states allow employers to refuse to hire anyone with a conviction record – or even an arrest that never led to conviction – because they have absolutely no guidelines or regulations on how an employer must evaluate a criminal history when considering an applicant. Only fourteen states have legal standards governing public employers’ consideration of an applicant’s criminal record that require an individualized assessment of the applicant’s qualifications and ability to do the job. These states are: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. To see an overview of the laws of all fourteen states, click here. Only five of those states – Hawaii, Kansas, New York, and Wisconsin – regulate private employers. Even when it comes to granting licenses for a wide range of occupations, only 21 states have standards that require a “direct,” “rational,” or “reasonable” relationship between the license sought and the applicant’s criminal history to justify the agency’s denial of license, while the other 29 states do not.

For a complete description of the 50 states’ laws concerning employment of people with criminal records, please see the Legal Action Center’s report After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry at http://lac.org/roadblocks-to-reentry/main.php?view=law&subaction=4.

New York
The New York State Human Rights Law states that an applicant may not be denied
employment or licensure because of his or her conviction record unless there is a direct
relationship between the offense and the job or license sought, or unless hiring or
licensure would create an unreasonable risk to property or to public or individual safety.21
This law applies to employers with ten or more employees.22 A person with a criminal
record who is denied employment is entitled to a statement of the reasons for such
denial.23 Factors to consider in analyzing whether employment may be denied are found
in N.Y. Corrections Law, Article 23-A.24 In addition, an employer may not inquire about
nor act upon an arrest that was terminated or determined in favor of the individual.25

Why is History International obsessed with Hitler?

Everytime i flip thru the channels I see Histi playing SOMETHING about hitler, I mean its NON-STOP.
I asked around and people said that its being run by Jews who wont let go of the past!
What are your opinions?

Keep in mind that i am talking about History International NOT History Channel.

what are the chances of me getting into LSE to study international relations and history?

It require an ABB, im predicted an ABB. I’m in year 13, its also my first choice. I wrote in my personal statment about all sort of international history- not just british etc. Ive also done extra ciriculum things such as Mandarin and a 2 week language course in france in galleries lafayette etc etc. Ive heard its pretty competitive….im really worried!

what is better to study, international business or history for international relations ,politics?

Gotta make a decision. Shall I study International business or history?

How hard is studying history, international studies, and philosophy in graduate school?

And what are some schools to consider for history? My adviser strongly recommends his alma mater berkeley…but I was leaning more towards columbia or coming back to my state and attending NC State Uni.

Are there any types of jobs involving history/international business?

Hello,
I’m currently a high school student and I honestly have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. What I do know is that I want to do something were I can go to a different country, learn history, experience new cultures or something where I can help people. I thought about anthropology but are there any other jobs? I do plan on going to college. Maybe knowing what kind of profession I’m aiming for will help me chose what to study. Can you help me?

Can you become a Doctor with a undergrad degree in International History?

Posted early about becoming a Corporate Lawyer but my sister suggested that I should become a doctor, but i’m almost dome my undergrad degree in International History. so my question it can I get into med school with a History degree? thanks for every ones help

how long does international business go back in history?

i cant seem to find where in history did international business start.can someone help me please?

Thinking of starting a webcomic, would like feedback on this plotline…?

So this idea had been bouncing around in my head for the last several years, and I’ve tried to make it work several times since then, but I hated how it turned out, to say the least.

Anyhow, I feel like I can go somewhere with what I have right now, but I’d still like some opinions on what you all think. Here goes…

It is the year 2019, and the state of Colorado has spiraled out of control. From the skyline of Denver and the Rocky Mountains to the small farming communities of the northeast, dozens of street gangs have emerged to sow the seeds of violence aross the land. The wallets of others have tainted what little police remain in the state, and the only hope for law and order is the highest bidder.

Enter the Hydra Syndicate, a collection of bounty hunters, psychopaths, spies, and other dregs of this wretched society. For years, their powerful leaders–a teenage ex-circus star called “Mamba” Max Gareth, and the socialite hacker Zev “Eagle” Ricasso–have had a vision of peace…of a Colorado without crime and corruption. And the two boys intend to fulfill that vision no matter the cost.

But everything is about to change.

On a warm August evening, a meteor strikes near the town of Pierce, Colorado–the heart of Syndicate territory, and a strange-looking young girl is seen wandering through the center of town. The girl has no trace of a past–not a memory to her name–and her only possession is an old and battered flute. The words she speaks are nonsense, like no language ever heard before, and her talents are like nothng the Syndicate has ever seen. But strangest of all is her stunning resemblance to Max’s little sister…who died in his arms more than five years ago…

So begins the plot of “Julie”–the bleak, bloody, and darkly humorous life of two boys with a dream, the sacrifices that made it happen, and one girl’s search for identity that will change the course of history.

So, there you have it. My main concern for this plotline is that I’m not going to be able to take it seriously enough, especially since I’m planning it to involve human/animal hybrids, a mysterious traveling carnival, a three-legged stalker, and Lord knows what else. So if anyone wants to be the critic–go right ahead, I’d love to hear everything you have to say.

No North Pole by This SUMMER!?

Arctic sea ice could break apart completely at the North Pole this year, allowing ships to sail over the normally frozen top of the world.
ADVERTISEMENT

The potential landmark thaw – the first time in human history the pole would be ice-free – is a stark sign of global warming, according to an article Friday on the web site of the The Independent, a London newspaper.

“Symbolically it is hugely important,” said Mark Serreze of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. “There is supposed to be ice at the North Pole, not open water.”

Last year, the fabled Northwest Passage opened as Arctic ice retreated more than ever before.

There is no land at the North Pole, but as long as anyone has looked, it has remained a giant block of ice year-round. Scientists have been watching Arctic sea ice melt more and more each year. But each summer in recent years, the amount of ice has gotten thinner and thinner. Each winter’s freeze, therefore, results in a thinner pack that, this summer, could melt altogether.

“The issue is that, for the first time that I am aware of, the North Pole is covered with extensive first-year ice,” Serreze is quoted by The Independent. “I’d say it’s even-odds whether the North Pole melts out.”

Russia and other countries, meanwhile, have been arguing over who has rights to the region’s resources, including potential oil reserves.

Several studies in recent years have predicted that the North Pole could be ice-free within a few decades. Alarm has ratcheted up every summer as the ice gets thinner and thinner. In a study released June 10, scientist said the rapid meltoff in the Arctic could threaten permafrost in continental soil elsewhere above the Arctic circle in a warm version of the snowball effect.

Last summer saw a record melt of Arctic sea ice, which shrank to more than 30 percent below its average. Around the peak of the melt, in September, air temperatures over land in the western Arctic from August to October were more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above the 1978-2006 average.

“The rapid loss of sea ice can trigger widespread changes that would be felt across the region,” said Andrew Slater, also of the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
What is your opinion!?!

Is it true…”You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide.”?

That’s a quote from Dr. Reid Bryson. I think it pretty much summarizes his position on the hypothesis of global warming being caused by CO2. Unfortunately he died in 2008 but I did come across an article on him before he died regarding climate change.

Before you read the article, you should have some sort of background on his credentials. Keep these in mind as you read his words.

- was identified by the British Institute of Geographers as the most frequently cited climatologist in the world
- holds the 30th PhD in Meteorology granted in the history of American education
- Emeritus Professor and founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology
- in the 1970s he became the first director of what’s now the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies
- member of the United Nations Global 500 Roll of Honor
- has written more than 200 articles and five books ranging over the fields of geology, limnology, meteorology, climatology, archeology, and geography
- his volcanic eruptions and aerosol optical depth data has been added to the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology in Boulder, Colorado

Not surprisingly, he has been called “the father of the science of modern climatology.” When he first presented a paper before the AAAS that suggested that humans could affect the climate, he was laughed off the platform.

Does anything in that article make you question the certainty of man made climate change keeping in mind the credentials of Dr Reid Bryson?
