.... securely and accurately accessed by all sorts of electronic data processing equipment. Some are smarter than others, the smartness of a card depends on the complexity of the embedded processor, as well as the software that is installed on the chip. Even the simplest cards, like the pay phone cards, are smart enough that they are virtually impossible to copy or falsify. However, the simplest do not provide any security against unauthorized use. In other words, if you lose your pay phone card, anyone else can use it.

In addition to criminal justice efforts, the federal government, state government, and local communities spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on prevention programs such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), in which local police officers visit schools to teach young people to refrain from trying marijuana and other drugs.

.... night when she was looking for the number to Pizza Hut in the phone book, and when she found it she started repeating over and over until she got to the phone and could dial it. She was astounded that she was doing this all along and didn't even know it. I then explained another short term memory method known as chunking. She cringed and thought I was talking about the keg party the other night, but I explained that chunking involves taking a large number or word and breaking it down into smaller pieces that could be remembered easier. I also told her that she could chunk together the first letters of a phrase to make it more accessible to her m .....

.... It is best to not argue or fight around the infant. Parents should also be aware to allow the child to have a desired object that will provide them with security. Parents should also not be afraid to ask for help from "family and friends" (DeBord, 1997). When the child naps, it is best for the parent to also nap along with the child to keep from getting too stressed as a single parent (DeBord, 1997).

This will provide a secure and anticipated environment, which will lower the stress on the infant. Infants need to know w .....

When parents respect their children's privacy and opinions, children develop a mutual respect for their parents and for others. Parents that take their child .....

.... God then proceeds to explain what a Prophet is. Miriam and Aaron had actually doubted that Moses was a Prophet. This did not seem to please God. Numbers 12:2 reads, "Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" and the Lord heard this."(NIV) Miriam and Aaron were complaining in this passage. God was angry when He learned this. This is why He told them the definition of a Prophet. Miriam and Aaron stood outside the tent along side of Moses. God summoned for Miriam and Aaron. It then says that He tells them what a Prophet is. This is the first time in the Bible that God actually tells us the guidelines of p .....

.... adaptation that the genes in Darwin's Galapagos beasts underwent. A meme, therefore is a unit of cultural transmission, struggling to keep a place in an ever changing world. How do memes work ? Think of your mind as an environment. A new idea arrives: "make your own bread with a breadmaker." Your neighbor’s mind environment may love Wonderbread, and be very hostile to breadmaking. However, he may fervently believe that OJ is innocent. You, on the other hand, may have a mind environment where breadmaking thrives, along with "OJ was guilty". So we see that a meme is nothing more than a pattern of information, one that happens to have evolved a f .....
