An Astrophysics Degree?


I am almost 30 with a Bachelors in English/Creative Writing. I chose this field basically because I was flat out undecided for many years and just went with this. For many years I have felt as though I never found my “niche” in life, or what I “wanted to be when I grew up”. I didn’t focus very well in college as a result of having no interest and graduated with a 2.8 GPA. (I grew up believing I would simply take over my parents Real Estate office anyway so “who cares? about the GPA anyway?”. Almost 6-7 years later, real life experience and a lot of growing up my mind has finally refocused.
I have an incredibly strong interest in Astrophysics. My husband has his PhD in Pharmaceutics so this might have had a lot to do with being exposed to the sciences. There have been so times where I will sit there listening to the details of his experiment and wish I could have been in the room or watch a documentary on the universe with my mouth open for several minutes..and believe me when I tell you I have seen MANY of them. I strongly feel that this is what I missed out on. This is what I should have studied in college and followed through on. For Christmas I even asked my husband to get me a telescope. I NEED to do this.
At this point however I am pretty skeptical about if it will ever be possible for me to even get accepted into a program having been out of college for many years now with a not so great GPA to look back on. Does anyone out there (maybe in the field) have any suggestions for someone who found their niche far too late in life?

Is Pokemon Evil Or Satanic?


I’ve been playing Pokemon since I was a young kid, I’m 15 now. I recently threw away all my Pokemon Cards, sold my latest Pokemon game, and got rid of my books. I don’t own anything Pokemon now. When I was younger I would misbehave and get into trouble while being addicted to Pokemon. Now ever since I’ve got rid of Pokemon I haven’t gotten into any trouble but been better.
I got rid of Pokemon because I saw this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqwgVo33dyA
The original video is in Spanish but it was translated in English. That girl spoke with clarity, she wasn’t nervous, she didn’t think of what to say it all came to her naturally, she didn’t say any “umms” in her interview.So I knew this video was true.
I’ve watched that video 3 times, first time I saw it I thought that Pokemon couldn’t be bad. Second time I began to start having doubt and started asking myself questions about Pokemon being evil. The third time I watched it I became convinced that Pokemon was satanic.
I owned a Pokemon site a while back, and I don’t want to be held responsible for anyone’s life if Pokemon is evil and they go to hell because I created it.I wanted to change my site’s theme but instead the members started to troll me.One of the sites I was affiliated with took advantage of this and stole some members from my site to theirs. So I left that site, deleted my account and never went back to it, only once or twice to check on it.
I also read two different articles. They’re both the opposite, one is defending Pokemon and giving positive statements, the other is saying negative things about Pokemon. These articles are both well written.
Negative article : http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news1099/pokemon.html
Positive article : http://leto_chan.tripod.com/pokemon/editorial9.html
I really don’t know what to believe, should I follow my own path? Or be another lemming and believe everything I hear on the Internet? I would like to hear your thoughts, especially if you’re a Priest because I’m a religious person, I’m Catholic.
I really don’t care if you say that God isn’t real, or the Devil isn’t real, your opinion doesn’t matter to me. Just because you never experienced anything, or have legit proof. That doesn’t mean they’re not real. I know they’re real, so kindly don’t say any negative things.

Where Can I Find Non-english Affiliate Marketers… If You Don’t Speak Their Language?


Where can I find non-English affiliate marketers… if you don’t speak their language?
Is there something like alibaba.com for affiliate network and online joint ventures?
I am looking for affiliate marketers from around the world. Our company’s service is English lessons online (or by phone) and we have a franchise / affiliate program but 99% of the affiliate marketers are based in USA/UK. So we obviously don’t promote in English speaking countries, we are looking for a database of marketers speaking (and promoting in) any other languages.
We are looking for that type of database: Affiliate seeking. com
On foreign forum it will not work… because

What Do You Think Of These Female Characters?


Justina Walker-a 28 year-old teacher of a Charity School. She is a strong-willed woman but often stressed out from her low wages and unruly students. She came from a poor family with barely enough to supply themselves; her father died in a war, her mother suffered a stroke, her brothers and sister had to work in their tobacco field before sunrise. Since her mother’s stroke and her sister’s elopement with a stranger, she had take care of herself from an early age, she promised herself that she would never end up like her mother or her sister. She has survived on her own, with her knowledge and wits, and with her pushiness and pessimism.
Sarah Clive-a 14 year-old Irish girl who moved to America with her parents, but they died in an accident and left Sarah on her own. She grew up in the streets learning English on her own, stealing from bakeries and fruit markets, sometimes begging and sometimes taking charity. Sarah is a tough girl, rude and self-justifying, but sensitive and sensible.
Melanie Barfield-a 14 year old teenager. She works in the bakery with her mother, but dreams of becoming an actress, a very good dream, but Melanie has a lot to show; she’s very stubborn and angry because of all the hard work she has to do, and because she’s prone to being impatient. But she doesn’t always mean to be mean-spirited, she just doesn’t want to be seen as this daydreamer with poor grades. Deep inside she is talented and self-assured. She even knows how to fence.
Barbara Hardy-a 13 year old girl and friend to Melanie. Barbara loves to read books and likes to draw pictures of jungles and native people, but she always base them on caricatures. She’s an intelligent girl, but often prone to envy and jealousy. Her family are neither rich or poor, but they can’t get everything Barbara wants. So she would retreat to her books and dream about politics and revolutions. She doesn’t socialize much but talks to Melanie whenever she’s lonely. She has a good skill in archery.
Corinne Bennett-a 12 year-old British girl. Corinne comes from a rich family, goes to a private school and has her own horse to ride. Corinne is pretty but greedy and selfish like her Banker Father. She likes going to parties and banquets but quickly tires of it. She is truly a deep thinker and lonely girl because she barely has any friends to talk to or play with, except for her snooty sister and frivolous classmates. She does enjoy going to America visit her cousin and talk to his friend’s sisters. She likes to play with knives often and even has her own secret pocketknife.
Lenny Tully-an 8 year-old English girl, a crybaby and whiner. Often ignored by her friends for her whining and complaining. She hates going outside in the dark, and sleeps with a small light in her room. She can be timid, quiet, and stubborn, but she has hidden confidence, dreams of adventure and likes to wander around new places.

Can Anyone Check If My English Grammar Is Right? Please And Thank You!?


Hi,
I am writing an essay and English is not my native language. Please, check my text for mistakes, thanks:
“The State also promoted the reduction of the levels of negotiation by activity branch, favoring the companies where the union power was less. Other norms promoted by the State were: a strike hyper-regulatory mechanism that leaded to declare them illegal most of the times, the instability of the collective agreements as to the time of the agreed benefits and the integral revision of the existing ones, and the possibility of receiving just one compensation before an arbitrary dismissal, becoming difficult to reach the reinsertion to the job, among other measures.
What effects did these changes have in the labor organizations? According to the report of Smith, in terms of its relation with the environment, the DGTB was unable to avoid the disaffiliation and reach that new sectors affiliate to company labor unions.”
