Back in 1999, The Nation asked us to contribute something to a special issue on film and culture. We came up with The Anatomically Correct Oscar. We redesigned the golden boy to make him look more like the white guys who usually win. In 2002, a bunch of female film makers joined us to raise the money to do it as a billboard at Melrose and Highland, a few blocks from the Academy Award ceremony. It got a lot of press and was a great way to annoy Hollywood in it's own backyard.

Two sentences in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, have been translated and interpreted to mean that if a man has sex with another man, it is an abomination. Recent interpretations imply that this was a proscription against rape, rather than a proscription against loving same-sex relationships. There is no mention of homosexual relationships or lesbians at all in the Hebrew Bible. In the past few years, more evangelical conservatives have changed their position against homosexuality. Prof.

Six broad goals for the programme were discussed and confirmed with community groups, local government and M??ori: Provide for more effective management of the impacts of diffuse or unintended discharges on water quality.

Almost from the beginning, we did campaigns about homelessness, abortion, and war, among many other issues. We've never been systematic, we just go after one target after another. (There are plenty to choose from.) Recently, we've been attacking the film industry for the pathetically low numbers of women and people of color behind the scenes. We're also working on more political posters, a body image campaign and an attack on the music industry.

Yes, although you will have to make a few adjustments. You will not have good depth perception or have a full binocular field of peripheral vision.

They're a great way to say, “Turn here,” or “next exit.” However, telling the story of your business's benefits in just a few words and a picture is difficult. If you can't afford at least eight “100 showings” a year (approximately 5-10K each for four weeks), we don't recommend them. A high-profile billboard can add a splash if you have the budget and are already effectively TELLING your story on radio or television.

The reason some people say there is no such thing as a teacup is because the term “teacup” is not a registered breed. It is only a term that breeders use to identify the tiniest size. All “teacups” are registered as “toys.” Why some people get bent out of shape over this is a mystery. It is not a big deal, and everyone who sells teacups knows they are registered as toys.

A No. Follow our simple care guidelines and it'll be impossible to tell our system from a full head of healthy, beautiful, real hair. Obviously, close friends and family who are aware of your medical problem would see a dramatic difference! However, we have clients who've been successfully using our system for well over eight years, with colleagues and friends being completely oblivious to the fact that the hair on their head isn't entirely their own.

COMPLICATION: In complicated sentences the who/whom pronoun seems to fulfill both the subject and object functions. When this happens, the subject wins--use who. Compose the letter after you and John have determined who/whom should write to who/whom.[use who,whom].

A Well, originally when we got Of Pandas and People, I remember Dr. Nilsen and I thinking at the first that we could possibly purchase these for the teachers and they could have them just as a personal reference. When Bill was suggesting, you know, kind of a more rigorous use of the book in instruction, then Dr. Nilsen suggested a compromise position, just being in the classroom.

The philosopher John Searle says that the idea of a non-biological machine being intelligent is incoherent. He proposes the Chinese room argument www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/chinese.html The philosopher Hubert Dreyfus says that AI is impossible. The computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum says the idea is obscene, anti-human and immoral. Various people have said that since artificial intelligence hasn't reached human level by now, it must be impossible.

Democracy in the Park provides full scripts as well as lists of people to call. We make different types of calls at different times; recently, we have been asking voters which issues are most important to them and which candidate they are supporting, so that we can follow up and make sure the right people get to the polls in November.

Not much. One compared my front page to the Monarch of Oz, and the other articles were similarly unimpressive. They talked about me and made deductions about my personality and what makes me tick. I was not impressed. One could learn more by simply reading my webpages directly and drawing their own conclusions.

Ok, well the dietician said I should be eating more, and wants me to add more variety in - nuts, corn, beetroot, carrots etc. Regarding the IR, she's said that she's known a man who exercised for his whole life while everyone in his family developed diabetes by age 30 and is only now in his 60s showing signs of progressing from IR to the stage in between that and diabetes. So you can really prevent the onset via exercise and a healthy diet, but genes in the end are the deciding factor.

Yes. We've actually had fishing boats returning with catches that were hit and damaged by whales. They're not all swimming around in aquariums entertaining children you know.

Yep. Anyone with a computer can download Linux or borrow a friend's CD and jump on the Linux bandwagon. Most software is released under a restrictive license that means you can't give your CD to anyone without breaking the law. Linux is released under a non-restrictive so-called 'free software' license called the GPL which not only lets you share the software, it lets you download the source code for the program if you are a programmer and want to look at how the program does something.

Answer. Very little or nothing. He does refer to the King of the Mongols, and to a King from beyond the Black Sea. Most of the discussion about China relates to a verse from the Bible that mentions an army of 200 Million. If the prediction is very specific, it is probably bogus. Nostradamus almost always concealed his meaning in anagrams, symbolism, and mythological allusions. (There are exceptions, however, see below.) These articles almost never give a citation to the original verse.
