Any suggestions on where to find information on the ecosystem?

I have to do a paper on it and am lost on where to find more information. Any good sights to go to would be appreciated!Any suggestions on where to find information on the ecosystem?if by the ecosystem you mean all natural ecosystems, if so, there are a large number of places to get information, and a large voriety of subjects to cover. Then again if you mean ALL ecosystems then there is an even broder horrizon to explore... First refrence is a definition of ecosystem, and a general model of energy flow through ecosystems.... The second link is seems to be rather informative, yet simple... The third link has something to do with the current issue of global warming and the use of our ecosystem as grazing land, and the last link is addressing the qualies of the man made Agricultural ecosystems in the united states of america.



Hope this helped you on your paper.Any suggestions on where to find information on the ecosystem?one of the best reports on ecology in general all over the planet is Lester E Browns little book ,a planet under stress -Plan B

it has been translated in about 40 languages and won a best book award a few years ago.

very knowlegeble ,he is the founder and director of the department of Ecology in the USA.





in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification





in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,

deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days



in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .

and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result

(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)



this was man made global warming because of over grazing and fertilizers, and they are not the only ones

collectively this planet is drying up ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.



so as far as the food production is concerned Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss



each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss



more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,



and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers

who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,

because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing



RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.



Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,



At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.



SOLUTIONS

if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes



reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.



the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.



the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia



Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.



the protection of existing forrests.



stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.



education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.



education on environmental awareness

education on family planning to curb over麓populaion



Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.



more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks



,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour



alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine



recicling wastes,limit water use

http://spaces.msn.com/byderuleAny suggestions on where to find information on the ecosystem?The best and only authorative source of information on the eco-system is just outside your door, ie the ecosystem in question, A pristine (unaffected by modern human activities) is probably one of the greatest %26amp; most precious sights in the world; sights such as Grand Canyon; Great barrier Reef; Himalaya; Amazon rain forest; are big, but looking at the small in your own neighbourhood is just as rewarding.



Darwin's study of earthworms is a good example of how to do this, and quite an entertaining read too.

    What is the difference between an Information Technology degree and a software engineer?

    I am going back to school right now and want to eventually get CISSP/ISSEP certified. I'm unsure in which direction to take to achieve this. I'm not really looking to become a programmer but I am willing to. I understand that Information systems security is a great field to get into now into the future. I'm just unsure what the real difference is with an IT degree or software engineer. Thanks for your help.What is the difference between an Information Technology degree and a software engineer?probably the best advice you can get is to to with SIGs (Special Interest Groups) in those areas.

    One of the many for software engineer is

    http://www.sigsoft.org/

    Most large cities will have SIGs in both fields.

    One possible search strategy.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en%26amp;sourc鈥?/a>

    Many will hold meetings once a month. There might be a membership fee which makes those meetings free or cheap and charge a little extra for non-members. Get there at least 30 mins before it starts to mingle with those established in those fields.

    I knew a bar/restaurant next to a large IT firm. I would show up for a business lunch early to get a seat at the bar. Starting chatting. Found out that Thursday after work a large group from that company would meet there for drinks. I left my car in their company parking lot. Met a lot of people. I kept it easy on the drinks but still took a cab home. They called me in for some interviews which lead to a job. Start networking with people in those fields. There are online networking, some newsgroups that you can probably find through google/yahoo, and might be some special interest groups. Start a special interest group at college. Some may quickly get jobs after college and assist on getting members of the college SIG get a job in the following years. Like frats/sororities do.

    What topic has an abundance of information to write about for a term paper?

    I have a philosophy term paper due in two weeks, which should be enough time. However i'm having a little trouble deciding a topic. I'm considering either epistemology or reality. More specifically cartesian or empirical epistemology, or what is really real.



    Do you have any suggestions or advice?



    Do you recommend any resources of information for any of these topics?What topic has an abundance of information to write about for a term paper?Just write about politics (of any kind). It is a topic that has an enormous abundance of information to write about and it's completely real.

    How concerned should I be over "identity" information given out over a portable phone being listened to?

    I (stupidly?) gave personal information to a bank over a portable (not cell) phone and now wonder what the chances are of eavesdroppers stealing information. Anything to be done?How concerned should I be over "identity" information given out over a portable phone being listened to?I wouldn't be too worried. I only use a corded phone. In fact, I still use a Western Electric model 500 rotary phone. The person would have to be in fairly close range to listen in to your phone call. Yes, it would be unlawful for them to listen into your conversation, but as we learned from gun laws, prohibiting acts only stops lawful citizens ;)



    Don't worry about it too much, but in the future use ONLY a corded phone for this type of communications.

  • What sources do historians rely on to get their information on sexuality in ancient Greece?

    I heard some people say that the ancient Greeks were into pedophilia. Where are the historians getting that information? Are they relying on stuff like Greek plays and philosophical texts... Greek literature along with some images on Greek pottery? Or are there additional sources of information besides those things?What sources do historians rely on to get their information on sexuality in ancient Greece?You name a number of the most important sources -- drama, philosophical dialogues, art. The main category that I can think of that you haven't mentioned are political speeches, where people can get quite mudslinging about their rivals' behavior. Of course, that isn't the best possible source of truth, any more than modern political speeches are, but they give a sense of what was and wasn't acceptable or even "thinkable."

  • Where can i find information about Ipad history?

    I am doing a project and need information about the history of ipads. I searched and all i could find is wikipedia that has very little information that may not be realiable. I need more information and maybe more reliable, thanks.Where can i find information about Ipad history?This is an edited version the description of the iPad


    Apple's first tablet computer was the Newton MessagePad 100, introduced in 1993, which led to the creation of the ARM6 processor core with Acorn Computers. Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo-based tablet, the PenLite, but decided not to sell it in order to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. Apple released several more Newton-based PDAs; the final one, the MessagePad 2100, was discontinued in 1998.

    Apple re-entered the mobile-computing market in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than the iPad but featuring a camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitouch finger-sensitive touchscreen interface of Apple's iOS mobile operating system. By late 2009, the iPad's release had been rumored for several years. Such speculation mostly talked about "Apple's tablet"; specific names included iTablet and iSlate. The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

    Jobs later said Apple began developing the iPad before the iPhone, but temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well as a mobile phone

    The iPad's touchscreen display is a 9.7 in (25 cm) liquid crystal display (1024 脳 768 pixels) with fingerprint-resistant and scratch-resistant glass. Steve Jobs backed the choice of screen size, saying a 7-inch screen would be "too small to express the software." He said 10 inches was the minimum for a tablet screen.[29] Like the iPhone, the iPad is designed to be controlled by bare fingers; normal gloves and styli that prevent electrical conductivity may not be used, although there are special gloves and capacitive styli designed for this use. The display responds to two other sensors: an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness and a 3-axis accelerometer to sense iPad orientation and switch between portrait and landscape modes. Unlike the iPhone and iPod touch built-in applications, which work in three orientations (portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right), the iPad built-in applications support screen rotation in all four orientations (the three aforementioned ones along with upside-down),[33] meaning that the device has no intrinsic "native" orientation; only the relative position of the home button changes.
    In total there are four physical switches on the iPad, including a home button below the display that returns the user to the main menu, and three plastic physical switches on the sides: wake/sleep and volume up/down, plus a third which, as of iOS 4.2, acts as a mute switch. Initially this switch was utilized to lock out the screen rotation function (reportedly to prevent unintended rotation when the user is lying down). However, with the iOS 4.2 update, this functionality was removed and rotation lock is now controlled with a software toggle via the iOS task switcher. There is no means to reassign the physical switches functionality in the official iOS release.

    The iPad can use Wi-Fi network trilateration from Skyhook Wireless to provide location information to applications such as Google Maps. The 3G model contains A-GPS to allow its position to be calculated with GPS or relative to nearby cellphone towers; it also has a black plastic accent on the back side to improve 3G radio sensitivity.

    For wired connectivity, the iPad has a proprietary Apple dock connector; it lacks the Ethernet and USB ports of larger computers.

    The iPad has two internal speakers that push mono sound through two small sealed channels to the three audio ports carved into the bottom-right of the unit. A volume switch is on the right side of the unit.
    A 3.5-mm TRS connector audio-out jack on the top-left corner of the device provides stereo sound for headphones with or without microphones and/or volume controls. The iPad also contains a microphone that can be used for voice recording.

    The built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR interface allows wireless headphones and keyboards to be used with the iPad. However, the iOS does not currently support file transfer via Bluetooth. iPad also features 1024 x 768 VGA video output for limited applications, [38]screen capture,[39] connecting an external display or television.

    The iPad uses an internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery (LiPo). The batteries are made in Taiwan by Simplo Technology, which makes 60% of them, and Dynapack International Technology. The iPad is designed to be charged with a high current (2 amperes) using the included 10 W USB power adapter. While it can be charged by a standard USB port from a computer, these are limited to 500 milliamperes (half an amp). As a result, if the iPad is turned on while connected to a normal USB computer port, it may charge much more slowly, or not at all. High-power USB ports found in newer Apple computers and accessories provide full charging capabilities.Where can i find information about Ipad history?The apple website

    Whats the difference between Information Technology Management and Information Systems?

    I've applied for two courses Information Technology Management for Business (ITMB) and

    Information Systems with Business.(IS)

    What is the difference between the two?

    Or are they both the same but with different names?



    Which one is more practical?

    Which degree would be best to get the IS or the ITMB degree and has more job opportunities?Whats the difference between Information Technology Management and Information Systems?Is the 2nd degree actually called "Information Systems with Business"? If it is, then they're both considered similar, if not the same. In that case, pick either - they will both have an equal amount of job opportunities.



    However, if its called "information systems" ... and there's no "with business" part, then they are, in fact, two different degrees.

    A single IS (with no business) degree is focused solely on the computer.

    ITM has more business involved - you'll be taking courses in Marketing, Accounting, Finance and Human Resources along with your computer courses, whereas in IS, there isn't as much business.



    In this case, I would opt for ITM.



    Hope that helps!

    Where can I find information about the history of the Quinceaneras?

    I am doing my end of the semester term paper, and I wanted to do it about Quinceaneras, but all I can find is the same 1 page information. I need information about the information that I have found. Diaz, Aztecs, Spaniards, the French. I need more details. But where?Where can I find information about the history of the Quinceaneras?Sorry, I don't know of any "Aztec" connections to the Quinceaneras but there are plenty of similar celebrations that came from the same root.



    Wikiedia has a very nice article about this coming of age celebration.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinceanera鈥?/a>



    It was adopted from the French D茅butante (from the French d茅butante, "female beginner") Ball.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debutante_b鈥?/a>



    Philippine Debut. Cotillions and d茅butante balls (commonly known as 'd茅buts') are very popular in the Philippines and in Filipino communities overseas. This celebrates a girl's eighteenth birthday in becoming a woman.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_鈥?/a>



    In some Hispanic communities along the U.S. and Latin America, a similar event occurs on a girl's fifteenth birthday, and is called a Quincea帽era ceremony.



    In Mexico, Panama and Paraguay, the d茅butantes are those young girls, typically fifteen or sixteen years old and belonging to middle-high and high class, that participate in a Festival de Debutantes or simply Debut, designed to officially present them to social life. The participation in this event does not preclude, and is usually preceded by, a separate party, called Quince A帽os, to celebrate the young girl's fifteenth's birthday.



    In Brazil, such events are called Baile de Debutante (d茅butante ball) or Festa de Quinze Anos (15 year party).



    In Argentina, Per煤, Uruguay and other Latin American countries, unless an activity is specified, the word "debutar" refers by common usage to having sex for the first time. Therefore, it is not advisable to ask a woman if she had already made her d茅but, because it would be understood as a sexual and not a social introduction, although this term is more normally applied to men, whilst for woman simply "Perder la virginidad" ("Lose one's virginity", or "lose my virginity") is more common. The introduction party itself usually happens at the 15th birthday and it is called "Fiesta de quince", "Cumplea帽os de quince" (fifteenth party or fifteenth birthday), or even just "Un quince" (literally "a fifteen")



    In the United Kingdom, the presentation of d茅butantes to the Sovereign at court marked the start of the British social season.



    Cotillions %26amp; D茅butante Balls are HUGE in the Eastern United States.



    You might be hard pressed to find a Quinceanera in Nashville, Tenneessee but it is as normal in Miami as a Mc Donalds.



    A sweet sixteen party is a type of birthday party in the United States and Canada that is very, very similiar.

    How long will a thumb/flash drive retain the Information you stored on it,before it deteriorates?

    Can anything else cause the information stored on the drive to lose it's integrity,like a magnet that comes to close to the drive. Can you hold information on the drive for years. Whats the pluses and minuses of the these drives.How long will a thumb/flash drive retain the Information you stored on it,before it deteriorates?Theoretically forever. I don't think a magnet would effect it, either. It's not a hard drive and has no moving parts.



    Just don't get it wet or conduct any electricity through it. (So don't go out in the rain and get hit by lightning.)



    Plus is that it's small and has no moving parts, and transfers data fast. The minus is that they are so small you can lose them, sit on them, etc..How long will a thumb/flash drive retain the Information you stored on it,before it deteriorates?you can hold information forever and a magnet ruin them?

    - Harddrives, Yes

    - Floppy Disks, Yes

    - CD's, No (Safest Means of Storage, unless it gets scratched.)

    - Flashdrives, If they use a RAM-Type chip, then usually No. However, if you use the flashdrives with microharddrives in it, then yes.

    Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?

    My husbands work requires him to give them a detailed report about any dr visit that is excused during work hours. He cannot return to work unless he gives them this medial information. Is that legal?Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?No its not legal for them to request medical records but they can request a note from dr that you were there ..Its called hipaa protected health info .....that is between you and ur doctor .Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?
    Each company may adopt whatever policy it wants and require employees to "prove" that they needed to be seen by a doctor during work hours. This is a part of most companies' FMLA policy and it is perfectly legal. So, when your spouse visits the doctor, there is usually a co-pay and with that, the patient gets a "receipt". That is proof of the visit and should comply with his company's policy.

    BretCan an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?Yes, it's legal. They want to be sure he's is able to work, they want to know that the time he takes off to go to the doctor is being used just that way, and they want to be aware of any possible health issues.Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?
    No, that is totally illegal. They can require him to bring a note excusing him from a doctor, but they cannot request specific medical information. That violates several federal and state laws.Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?They can require a note that he was seen by the doctor and that he is fit to return to work. Unless he is requesting the time off under FMLA or workers compensation that is all they can ask.
    Unless the democrats slipped something into the "health" care bill, medical information is still private. A note from the doctor's office explaining that he was there and has no restrictions should be enough.Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?
    A note from the DR proving that is the reason he took off is legal. Asking him any medical information is not legal.
    I'm not sure about the detailed report. As far as I know, he would only be required to provide a doctor's note stating he was, indeed, at the doctor.Can an employer require your medical information for a Dr visit if that visit was during work hours?
    they have the right to see proof that he actually went to the doctor and not off to the bar for a couple of hours

    College student getting a computer and information systems with a double major in finance. What to do?

    So, I'm getting a CIS degree with a double major in Finance at Georgia State University. Problem is, once I'm done I have no idea what would combine both of my majors in an enjoyable career. Any pointers? Please don't give me vague information.College student getting a computer and information systems with a double major in finance. What to do?Well, "enjoyable" to one person might really be horrible to another, so how can we know what will be enjoyable for you?



    You could work in the finance department of a tech company or the tech department of a finance company. CIS is a broad major, so it really depends on what area you focus on.College student getting a computer and information systems with a double major in finance. What to do?Good job. Everybody now knows about your fancy degrees and whatnot. Are you happy?College student getting a computer and information systems with a double major in finance. What to do?well make your own company :)

    Whats the difference between Information Technology Management and Information Systems?

    I've applied for two courses Information Technology Management for Business (ITMB) and

    Information Systems with Business.(IS)

    What is the difference between the two?

    Or are they both the same but with different names?



    Which one is more practical?

    Which degree would be best to get the IS or the ITMB degree and has more job opportunities?Whats the difference between Information Technology Management and Information Systems?Is the 2nd degree actually called "Information Systems with Business"? If it is, then they're both considered similar, if not the same. In that case, pick either - they will both have an equal amount of job opportunities.



    However, if its called "information systems" ... and there's no "with business" part, then they are, in fact, two different degrees.

    A single IS (with no business) degree is focused solely on the computer.

    ITM has more business involved - you'll be taking courses in Marketing, Accounting, Finance and Human Resources along with your computer courses, whereas in IS, there isn't as much business.



    In this case, I would opt for ITM.



    Hope that helps!

    How to update or change information on a submitted Common Application?

    Hello,



    I submitted the common application and all the appropriate supplements and payments to three different universities a month ago, and since then I have moved to a new house. Is there any way to update this information with my new address, and if I cannot do this would it really affect my admission?

    What information is provided on a Florida death certificate?

    I am doing some genealogy research for my husband. I have been unable to find any family names or information prior to his great grandfather. However, I can order his great grandfather's death certificate from the state of Florida for a fee and was just wondering what kind of information is provided on these certificates. Will the names of his great grandfather's parents be listed?



    Thanks for your help!What information is provided on a Florida death certificate?The names of the deceased persons parents will be listed, but only if the spouse/nearest of kin knew their names and supplied the information to the hospital/coroner/attending physician.



    Even if the parents names are not on the death certificate, there may be other valuable genealogy information on it, which will justify the cost:

    Full name, dates and places of birth and death, time of death, occupation, address, cause of death, mothers maiden name, nearest relatives signature, level of education, funeral home in charge of arrangements, place of burial, the name of the doctor who signed it.



    My sister died in Florida, in 1942. The doctor put the wrong death date on my sisters death certificate and misspelled her last name.

    The death certificate reflects she died 1 month after she was buried.



    My dad died in Florida, in 1989, and his death certificate is more detailed than my sisters, showing cause of death as a heart attack and that he also had colon cancer.

    This is valuable information for compiling a family medical history.



    My advice is, buy the death certificate.

    Sometimes the smallest clue, becomes the biggest clue.

Just walk in and ask them how to request it. If they are not cooperative, send them a letter and recite that you asked for the stuff informally, in person, and you were refused. Then go to court and tell the judge that you want the ticket dismissed because you have been denied "discovery" by the prosecution/police.

    I know there is certain information that is not to my knowledge but should be known at the age I am at. Can anyone tell me what that information is? Just, any kind of facts about history, mathematics, english, common things. Thank you.What information should be known at the age of 14?By the time you are 14 and entering high school, you should have a basic grasp of the topics that affect your daily life.

    How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?

    Obviously if one is tortured they will say ANYTHING to get it to stop and even give false information if they do not actually know anything. There are many other ways of getting information, many of which do not even involve prisoners.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?Actually, John McCain wrote in an article some time ago that when he was tortured in Vietnam to give names of officials, he instead gave the names of the starting line-up of his favorite football team just to get the torture to stop.



    Torture gives notoriously unreliable information. Besides, if we torture their people when we have them in custody and claim no crime was committed, what's to stop them from torturing our people if they capture them? The answer: absolutely nothing.



    People seem to forget that if what we do to foreign detainees is not a crime, then it would not be a crime for another government to do it to our citizens.



    Torture does not get reliable information, it turns the world against us, it gives the enemy permission to do the same if they capture our people, and it's a war crime as defined by the Geneva Convention.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?
    Ask Kalid Sheik Mohammed



    The mastermind of 9/11 who when tortured gave us a massive amount of info that led to the arrests of other terroristsHow is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?Who said anything about reliable.



    Maybe it's just fun.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?
    Makes more sense to me than the tea parties the CIA will be forced to use going forward.



    Bad idea BO.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?Sure: The one being tortured might say anything the first time, but they soon learn that the punishment for lying or remaining silent is more torture sessions. That is why periods of torture are followed by rest periods, so the prisoner learns that only telling the truth stops the pain.



    Of course torture works. It has been used for millenia.



    Notice your questions is not about whether torture is right, only does it work or not.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?
    Yes, but its much better than politely asking them and saying please..

    However, if you scare them s***less and torture them, your chances of getting something important increases. Plus we have technology and trained personal who can tell when someone is lying just by their body posture.



    There is a difference between torturing civilians and torturing armed personal like terrorists. Its war, I say anything goes.How is torture a reliable way to get information from prisoners?
    We have sophisticated interrogation techniques, and none of them involve torture. KSM was waterboarded, not tortured.



    Platypus: Do you really think terrorists need our permission to torture our people? Anyone who thinks this enemy will not use torture if we don't (and we don't) doesn't realize what kind of enemy we are facing.
    Independent studies have repeatedly shown that torture does not work. It didn't work in the middle ages and it doesn't work now. The Bush administration was too stupid to realize this but luckily, those self serving pieces of rat sh*t are no longer in power........

    What is the difference between Computer science and information technology?

    Hi I'm interested in computer courses to study, today I spoke to someone from one of the unis I was interested in one of the courses were more about designing and the other practical and more technical fixing and support the system. I'm really interested in that. Its called computer enterprising. .



    But I want to apply to more but I get confused as every university calls the computer courses a different name. So i'm unsure if its software , or computer science , IT , IS with business. I think it could be IS with business what I'm interested in but I'm unsure. In some of the modules in the enterprise one has : information systems,computer programming ,data management , software testing , human computer interaction. developing internet applications supporting the systems kinda thing



    Which computer course would include that sort of things? Its one of the practical and technical I want I'm not interested in designing. And can anyone tell me from this which computer courses is more like the one i described is it Information technology with business or something else? And is Computer science based on designing the applications? and not the more practicalWhat is the difference between Computer science and information technology?Computer science strictly the science of computers. It can be thought of like physics where you learn the concept, the art and architecture of computers and mainly programming.



    Information technology is applied computers, and more of a business and tech term, it is more like applied physics. where you see how this might be applicable in real world.



    Typically these things blend together and there is a variety of coursework no matter how the department breaks it up.



    What you are describing seems more like vocational studies, such as taking courses from Microsoft and Cisco Sun, and Oracle and getting those certifications. This actually isn't covered in university courses, although community college courses do tailor towards this.What is the difference between Computer science and information technology?Sounds like computer science to me, I think most design courses start out as computer science and only become computer design in the second or third year depending on your choice of modules.

    How do I get my information off a website?

    I have just put my phone number into a website called reverse australia and they not only have my number but my name and my address. How did they get this information? Is it illegal for them to have it? Are they allowed to put it on a website? How can I get it removed? I would like this done immediately but any advice will help.How do I get my information off a website?Too bad you didn't check who owned the web site. They list phone numbers and email addresses where you can either call or email complaints. Again, a question with no details to help.



    RonHow do I get my information off a website?In general, in most countries, your phone number and the address behind it isn't considered private information...in fact...it's public information. I assume you have phone books down under? So...you just sort the data by phone number, and that gives you a persons name and address, doesn't it? Just from the big book in the postbox. The data is public already.



    In the US we have 'Unlisted numbers'. In Australia I think you call them private numbers? Get one of those numbers. You may have to pay extra.How do I get my information off a website?Most likely they got it from your telephone provider. Instead of having a phone book, you can find out who is calling you just by entering the phone number.



    You might be able to speak with your telephone provider to see if they provided the information.

Please let me know.Is it possible to get information on colleges mailed to my home?

If you can't find a way to submit your information through the website, then call the admissions office and ask to be added to the mailing list.

    What information can be found with a social security number?

    How much information can someone find out about you with your social security number?



    Is it limited at all or there a vast amount of information that can be found out about a person by SSN?What information can be found with a social security number?Anything financial could be found under your Social Security Number. Bank accounts, loans, jobs, salaries, travel, credit cards, etc... Also, if someone wants to dwell deeper and research your SSN (someone with authority such as; courts, police, the IRS, etc...) they could find every last one of your electronic purchases (with a check, card, wire transfer, etc) you have ever made in your life. Your SSN is basically your label given to you by the government. In the eyes of the government, your Social Security Number is higher up on the list that defines who you are, it even beats your name+Birth Certificate.What information can be found with a social security number?An SSN without any other identifying information can't be used to find out very much, other than the issuing state of the SSN. Virtually any database that allows you to look up information by a SSN will also require that you enter other matching information such as name, DOB, or address. Even then, access to such databases is limited to people in certain occupations where the information is generally going to be protected. Online credit report websites are going to require the name, address, DOB, and several other pieces of information before they allow access to a credit report. Even the IRS won't accept a tax return unless the name and DOB on the return match exactly what they have on file for the SSN. This is all intentional. After all, you could randomly come up with 9 digit social security numbers all day long. If this is all that was needed to obtain sensitive information, we would all be in trouble since there is no way to protect against someone just sitting there guessing at random numbers.

    What degree is better business information systems or accounting?

    I am going to college and I can't figure out wich degree to pursue. My two choices are Accounting or business information systems. Does any one know what which one would pay better and which one would I have an easier time landing a job. Thank you for your help.What degree is better business information systems or accounting?I have an interesting idea for you. Like someone else said, double majoring in both may be a great career opportunity. As an accountant, chances are at one time or another you're going to work on the audit end. A lot of times companies have very complex computer info systems that companies use to handle their accounting transactions.



    There is a designation called the CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor). Because of Sarbanes Oxley, publicly traded companies I believe are required to have an IT audit annually. Check out this website to learn more about this certification: http://www.isaca.org/Template.cfm?Sectio鈥?/a>



    If you had a CPA and a CISA designation you would be very marketable. However, most states require that you have at least 150 credit hours to become a licensed CPA. Some people will major in accounting and either get an MSA or MBA to complete the remaining 30 hours. Some people choose to double major in either finance, CIS or even computer science.



    So, to answer the question about money. If you had a CPA and CISA designation (many accountants have multiple designations) you would bank major coin. You also would probably have no problems finding a job as long as you were willing to relocate, depending where you are now.



    However, on the one or the other side, I think an accountant is probably going to make more money than an information systems person. I believe public accounting firms are averaging 45K to 55K starting off. I don't know what the starting salary for IT people is.



    One important thing to remember now that you are starting out. GPA is extremely important with accounting. They may forgive a slip-up one semester, but competition is fierce for the best jobs. If you have to study six hours for every accounting class... do it.



    Good luck!What degree is better business information systems or accounting?
    Given the glut of IT people out looking for jobs right now, I would go with accounting. A CPA can always open their own business and make an unlimited amount of money or work for an accounting firm or other business. While with business information, you are, usually, always working for someone else.

    There are more opportunities over more industries with accounting.What degree is better business information systems or accounting?Accounting is business. All other modes of business study are not near as important as the concepts of accounting. Information technology is the mode of which accounting can be carried or transacted.



    My father was a CIS graduate and went to work at Arthur Anderson (circa 1970's). He eventually turned into a CFO/CEO for an IT company, but his knowledge of accounting propelled him.



    Maybe a double major?What degree is better business information systems or accounting?
    Well, I think Business Information systems are good.

    You should go for it.What degree is better business information systems or accounting?i can tell you from the people i know and from the news today that accounting is much better and well paid to study than business informationWhat degree is better business information systems or accounting?
    I'd say accounting.

  • Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?

    Hi!



    I am with auto-insurance company X right now and due to few number of insurance claims that I had made, my insurance is going up. I am wondering if I try to switch to some company Y, will X share my claims information with Y?



    Thanks!Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?Most of the time, yes they will find those prior claims.

    Many insurance companies participate in a national database that tracks claims. They will also check you MVR records of any tickets or accidents. It is very difficult to slip one past an insurance company.

    Fraudulently stating fewer claims than you actually have is not a good idea. If you filed another claim and the prior ones were discovered, they could deny the new claim, back charge you a higher rate, and/or cancel the policy on the spot.



    Because your rate went up due to the claims, it's not a bad idea to shop around, just make sure they are rating you with knowledge of those prior claims.Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?
    http://carquotes.50webs.org - try this one. I have their car insurance and, as I know, they can provide such a service.

    Report Abuse

    Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?Your driving record (including accidents, tickets and filed claims) is public knowledge and is kept on a database through your state. Most states use the same database so that your driving record is basically public knowledge.



    While Insurance company Y doesn't get information directly from Insurance company X, all they have to do is look up on the database to find all of your tickets, claims and accidents.



    Basically, you shouldn't lie on your application because you won't get away with it.Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?
    Yes. Most insurance companies subscribe to a service called "CLUE". It's basically a data bank where companies share claim information with each other.



    Most companies will order a "CLUE" report before issuing your policy and find out that you have had previous claims. It is always a good practice to go ahead disclose this information up front, if not the rate that you are quoted will not be accurate.



    I would suggest getting as many quotes as possible!



    Because rates vary hundreds of dollars with companies you might be surprised to find out that by comparison shopping your maybe able to get insurance through another company without seeing a huge increase.



    As mentioned already the key is to getting as many quotes as possible. The easiest way to do this is by using free on line insurance rating services. I read a statistic that people who use these services usually save an average of 30%-40%. If that holds true for you then it basically you would most likely be able to keep your rates close to what you are currently paying.



    There is a consumer site that I came across at: http://www.InsuranceEasy.org that has links to free quoting services that are reliable. By using each of the links listed on their auto insurance page you will end up with the 5 or 6 best quotes from hundreds of companies.



    Hope this helps!Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?Of course! One of the questions in the applicationt that must be answered truthfully is similar wording to "please list all accidents you have been involved in as a driver, whether at fault or not, in the last #x years". They also ask for the approximate amount of any claim associated with the accidents. Some companies want 3 years, some 5, and they do check. If they issue a policy immediately based on falsed information, you would receive a registered letter within days, possibly cancelling it, or increasing premiums substantially. In my office, sometimes I would fax an application and receive a phonce call back within half an hour asking why a certain accident hadn't been declared by the applicant.Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?
    THE ANSWER IS YES!!!!! 99% of all insurance carriers report to a service similar to a credit bureau. Then all the other companies can pull your DRIVING RECORD which is what the DMV has on record for you and a CLUE REPORT which is a record of claims and accidents (shows everything from major accidents down to towing and rental claims). I hope this helps.Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?
    yes they will find it. when you get a quote they may not run your reports so its up to you to be honest about any points or accidents on your record. if you dont tell them they WILL run your records when the policy is issued and then your premium will be higher than the quote and they have the right to cancel the policy with notice. its probably better for you to wait until your record is clean again before you switch

    What information shows up on a background check?

    If a cop runs a background check on someone, what information will show up? Address, phone numbers, work history? I don't know any information other than it is a background check done by a cop- anyone know what all will show up?What information shows up on a background check?In order to give you a more detailed answer, I would need to know more specifics on circumstances surrounding the background check being run. Based on you saying it is being done by the police, that means it is likely a criminal records check. This would entail them checking for any criminal record information (arrests, convictions, etc.) against national criminal databases. I doubt they would care much about things like address history, marital status, civil records (like bankduptcy filings, etc.)



    If you would like to see what a comprehensive background check looks like I can point you to a couple online services that provide sample reports (no purchase necessary).

    the net will expand (generally one or two more levels) where it will be explored in more detail



    the final report (provided no legal or financial problems) is mostly about information turned up at that second level of search, and while it doesn't turn up everything, it does turn up a whole lot, and it is difficult to predict, in advance, what piece of trivia might be missed
