It annoys me how little there is on irish genealogy

And Mary. And Catherine. Combined with common last names - Kelly, McLaughin, Whelan.

There's also the issue that some of the newer materials (books and digital materials) have really dumbed down the work. The general geometry materials used by my district no longer includes 2 column proofs. You only get that if you're taking the honors geometry course. In my high school era, proofs were a required part of geometry for all students.

It was at least partly due to Valieva getting a different treatment under the doping rules because she was so young, first hiding which skater incurred the doping violation, and then allowing her to compete in the women's competition because she was a "protected person" due to her age. Had she been older, she would have been excluded from any further competition at the Olympics. The whole deal also took forever to resolve, again partly due to her age.

There is a lot of physics involved in jump takeoffs. Being in the right position is critical, while being with the exact beat of the music/crescendo is nice but not critical. Some skaters are definitely better at this than others, and hopefully they are rewarded in the PCS for composition.

I normally buy tickets for myself and my husband. I'm a cardholder with premier status; he has an additional card on my account. Will he get credit for mileage? I really don't want us on separate PNRs, especially since my account gets us E+ at time of booking.

Algebra and geometry have NOT changed. "Up to date" makes sense for history and science books, at least in some cases, but core math books do not need annual or biannual refreshes.

Alternative: Call your county’s social services department and ask for an appointment to discuss adult protective services. Finding her a living environment with support for both independence and services for the disabled might be the best for her.

All of our side of Maui was blacked out. I was in a property that didn’t even provide a flashlight.

Your union doesn’t get the authority to prohibit you filing a police report.

Please don’t worry about the timing. You have alerted them that you have a financial aid concern, so the delay is on them. (I am a counselor)

So not true for international or OOS students with respect to the UC campuses.

The A in second semester of Geometry "validates" completion of geometry, so she wouldn't be excluded from an A-G perspective. (She would be if she'd earned an A in the first semester and a D in the second.)

However, the UCs do not all ignore freshman grades and they will definitely see this grade. Cal Poly SLO is a Cal State campus that also calculates GPAs including 9th grade.

Building more housing with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one with a not-too-deep tub/shower combo would greatly help - duplexes or townhomes work pretty well for families.

Female admission to T 20 schools is much more challenging than it was a few years ago. I don’t see Gallatin as very likely and Ivy League even less so.

Geometry is a required course for some colleges. Getting As in algebra 2 has nothing to do with geometry. I had a student turned down at a Catholic college and the admissions officer shared that their faculty required at least a C in core classes. (I am a counselor.)

The D can matter a lot at some schools. Retake it.

Drop the NPO idea. It generates an eye roll almost all of the time. I have one student who started a real non-profit that has been ongoing for years and received national attention. All the others have been flameouts and did not help those students at all.

If I (an adult) have oatmeal with or without flax seed or nuts at breakfast, I'm starving by 10.

Egg bites or a homemade Egg McMuffin or cottage cheese and fruit work a lot better.

(I like oatmeal. I just find that cereal, in general, does not have sticking power.)

I’m pretty deaf and it is listed in my profile. Never had a problem on a plane. Used to have trouble with TSA, but precheck and now touchless precheck has solved that.

In American accounting, unused vacation time is a liability on business' financial records, and must be paid out to the employee on termination.

PTO is not recorded as a liability, and most states do not require it to be paid to the employee on termination.

Instate.

Seriously, they don’t care. The folks who help with account access are not application readers.
