On January 25th, 2010, Study Every Word of the Word started. After a short time it changed to Study the Word and soon after, on May 4th, 2010, the domain name was also changed.
Then, on June 16th of the year 2012, Study the Word changed for the last time and is now Already Answered. O still like what I wrote back then about our purpose and I'd like to repost it today.
This "new" website will cover the truth of the Bible, how it applies to our lives, what the truth is in the Bible and how we are to teach it through subjects such as biology, microbiology, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, pliosaurs, plesiosaurs, history, geology, astronomy, all other forms of science, prophecy, and many, many other forms.
Our motto is:
Every question has already been answered . . . all you have to do is find the question!
The meaning would be that the Bible has answered every question that relates, in anyway, to itself. All you have to do is find the question that is Already Answered. I know, a little confusing but it is the truth!
I still hold to this purpose: to not shy away from questions and to do what is commanded of us in the Bible.

Grandpa Can You Do This?
So I hear you are both thinking about retiring huh? I was thinking that you guys aren't that old yet. But what do I know? I am only a half a year old. Yup, today is my half birthday, six months old. Old enough to eat rice cereal, apple sauce, green beans and sweet potatoes. Old enough to have a crib to myself because I paw everyone else, (I am just being curious!). I am old enough to roll around and shake hands when you ask me too. I am old enough to know that when mom says "Bob and weave Quinny!" I need to wiggle my hardest and shake my head so everyone will be happy with me and we laugh together. I am old enough to feel like I want to chew on everything, something is going on in my mouth and it just feels good to bite hard. I am pretty old, like you. And I am pretty grown up. I know you guys are good at what you do, so am I. You are good with your hands, climbing roofs and fighting fires, remodeling homes, teaching students and training teachers, you both have raised fine families and have wonderful lives. I share many of your traits, I won't say anything about chubby tummies or hair lines for right now, but I really look up to you and I love you. So what I really want to know is, can you do this Guys?
Love, Quinn

- Law
"I would recommend A-level Law to a friend because I feel it improves your knowledge
of the country we live in and the way it operates."
Omar Taki, Year 13 student
"I didn't originally plan to take Law, but quickly found it to be engaging and
my favourite subject."
Alice Foster, Year 13 student
"It is very enjoyable and although it's hard work, you can see your
hard work paying off."
Tommy Mercer, Year 13 student
Philosophy of the department
Law plays a vital role in society. Ignorance of the law can bring serious consequences. Everyone is affected by the law. Knowledge of the law can give people more control over their lives and more confidence in their dealings with others. People should be aware of their rights under the law and, equally, of their legal duty to respect the rights of others. Law is not a dry and dusty subject. The cases we study involve real people and decisions about what is fair, just and morally right.
The course encourages you to develop the skills necessary to analyse and solve problems. The main way that you are assessed in the exam is in being given problem scenarios where you are expected to explain how the law applies to that situation. In legal writing, we value an ability to write precisely and concisely.
These are skills which will complement virtually any other subject and which will be valued by employers and universities. Many students combine law with business, geography, psychology, politics or the sciences.
What we expect from our students
Learning in law is not a passive activity. We expect that you will take an active part in all class activities. We hope that you will have a genuine interest in law and will enjoy developing your own understanding. During the course you will attend criminal trials, visit Parliament and listen to visiting speakers. The expectation is that you will enjoy and engage with these to enhance your own learning.
There will be weekly home learning. This might involve revising for a test, writing an answer to a problem question, reading an article or researching some legal cases.
All problem/exam questions are marked to examination criteria which means that you will know how you are progressing during the course. There are a lot of legal cases to remember in law so that we have regular short tests and a range of class activities to help you remember as we go along rather than cramming at the end.
We expect you to do your best at all times and we will help you to achieve your best. There is no coursework or controlled assessment in this subject.
Mrs C Murray-Smith, Head of Law

Electric Fence Gateway Handle
Electric fences provide an effective barrier to contain livestock and deter vermin, but when they reach a gate, problems can arise. While the perimeter of the fence may be impenetrable, gates are often a weak link in your defences because it is tricky to fortify them while keeping them easily accessible.
This High Tension Gate Handle is part of an effective solution to this problem, allowing the user to run an electric wire infront of a gate without blocking it off permanently.
An electric tape or coil can be stretched across the gateway and the circuit can be made by hooking the High Tension Gate Handle to a Gate Handle Insulator to create a flexible and easy to use barrier that is both efficient and well insulated against power loss in all weather conditions.
The High Tension Gate Handle is a robust, easy grip cylinder which contains a strong internal spring.

Home is where the hospitality heart is
Scotland's premier conference and training venue has just appointed a top hospitality manager at its helm.
Gary Rice took charge of the four-star Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre – one of only two Conference Centres of Excellence in Scotland – on 1 November 2012.
After completing an HND in Hospitality Management, Gary has spent 15 years working in various roles for Posthouse, Devere, Mint and City Inn Hotels and most recently the Hilton Group, where he was Food and Beverage Manager at the Double Tree in Leeds.
After working away for several years, Gary is excited to be returning to his home town to take on the challenge of running a high profile, successful hotel.
Gary said: "I've been lucky enough to work for some of the biggest hotel chains and I'm looking forward to bringing my knowledge and experience to build on the Beardmore's excellent reputation as an outstanding conference venue."
"I was brought up in Clydebank, so I know how highly regarded the Beardmore is within the local community. And I very much look forward to welcoming guests to our hotel, gym, restaurants or conferences soon ."
Bronagh Bell, Director of the Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Gary on board and look forward to working with him – I am confident that he will bring some fresh, new ideas to enhance the services that we offer our conference and leisure customers."

Raspberry PI SPI interface
Some timing and waveform pictures on the Raspberry PI SPI interface.
The Raspberry PI SPI interface uses 4 signal lines, MISO, MOSI, CLK, and CS (Chip Select). The SPI interface is full-duplex, meaning that it transmits and receives data at the same time. Each SPI interface also requires a dedicated CS (Chip Select) line to enable it. I sent the following command in python:
The results show the two bytes being transmitted on the MOSI line (most significant bit sent first). The waveform also shows two bytes coming back from a A/D interface that I have connected on the SPI lines. You can easily see how bytes are transmitted and received simultaneously on the two separate data lines.
Raspberry PI SPI interface waveform and timing
The Raspberry SPI timing is much faster than the i2c interface. The SPI clock is 2us or 500 KHz. In the waveform below it is 2 us between the x and y cursors. This makes the SPI interface 5 times faster than the stock i2c interface. The spi.xfer2 command also allows you to vary the nominal SPI speed. A second argument can be added which is used as frequency. I tried spi.xfer2([0x0F,0x55],100000) and got 16.4us or approx. 61 KHz. Next I tried 500,000 and got 2 us, right on the money for the default speed. A 250,000 setting gave me 4.1us or 244 KHz. There is some offset happening in the speed setting, so don't try and use the SPI clock for super accurate timing, unless you figure out the slowing offset effect ahead of time.
Raspberry PI SPI timing waveform
The documentation that I read says that xfer2 holds the SPI chip enable low for the entire transaction of bytes, while xfer should raise and lower the SPI chip enable for each byte transmitted. This is not what I see when I send "spi.xfer([0x0F,0x55]). Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a bug with the spi.xfer command.
Raspberry PI "spi.xfer" not disabling SPI chip select
SPI chip enable glitch?
For some reason the Raspberry PI enables the SPI chip enable for a brief period (8us) some short time (54us) after I would expect the transaction to be complete. This happens on every transaction. No actual data is transmitted or received during this period. Just be aware of this, so you don't use the SPI chip enable to count transactions for instance, or you will have problems.
Raspberry PI SPI chip enable glitch?
What does the 3rd parameter "delay" do? Well it extends the SPI chip select signal. I sent spi.xfer2([list],500000,1000) and got the following waveform. The time between the x and y cursors was roughly 1ms or 1000us.
Sent the "spi.readbytes(2)" python command. The resulting waveform is as expected. Beware that any SPI device connected would still be receiving an equal number of zero bytes, even though you are not explicitly sending them. The SPI device will see a valid clock and chip select, so even though the transmit line is not driven, it will appear to be driven low, meaning that a bunch of zero's are sent. You are probably safer using the spi.xfer command.

Green Anole Anolis carolinensis
Pictures taken March 15, 2011 I have many pictures of Lizards. Just because they are so plentiful here in Florida. I can say though this is the first of any fighting. From these pictures it seems these two were pretty even at the score as to who won. I can't tell. I don't know male or female either. These critters can be a pest. They are harmless. I don't mind having them around to catch some of the unwanted bugs. They do ever now and then get into the house. I hate when that happens.! I normally pick them up and throw them back into the yard. Some aren't that lucky get missed and they die from starvation.. I have did very little research. I found a very interesting website that I will keep in my bookmarks. A Great Website click here more info on Green Anole. Also see Jonathan Logos wordpress link to my opinion as interesting writer.

Library of Congress Subject Heading
Special education; Test-taking skills; Reading comprehension; Reading comprehension--Aids and devices; Graphic organizers
The problem the researcher faced was the inability of adolescent students with special education needs to make inferences and draw conclusions from text. When given a passage of reading, students were unable to answer comprehension questions regarding the text unless the answers were clearly stated within the text itself. This was a problem because last year the researcher's high school did not make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in its special education cell as outlined in No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The researcher was concerned because the reading portion of the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE) is filled with comprehension questions based on making inferences and drawing conclusions from the text. The ability to make inferences and draw conclusions is an essential skill for all students, especially those with a variety of special education needs. The purpose of the study was to determine if ability to make inferences and draw conclusions about character traits in a fictional short story unit would increase based on a strategy which involved use a graphic organizer to identify character traits not specifically stated in the text. In this study, the researcher developed a strategy for teacher use, implemented it, and measured students' progress based on a rubric and assessment of a pre-test and post-test.

A Carrington Event would INSTANTLY render all electronics DEAD.
All shut down procedures (manual or auto) rely on devices that have integrated circuits.
I believe it's safe to say that only a minority of the hundreds of nuclear stations in operation have the quantity and quality of shielded electronics that would make and retain/perpetuate a safe shut-down.
Octo has brought up a serious as death scenario. Fish caught in the northern Pacific are not edible for the health conscious. What? Another 5 years for the southern Pacific to be a similar wasteland? Another 5 for the contamination to spread to the other oceans? It will NOT stop.
This is a slow death, but death none the less. Fukushima is not and will not get better on its own and we do not have the capacity to "fix" it. Suck that shit my pro-nuke debaters.
A Carrington Event will make most of the planet uninhabitable.

Published in Esperanto Magazine – Exploration Edition:
I found out about the death of my friend Kat via Facebook.
It was close to midnight, and just before I was going to bed I decided to do a quick scan of my newsfeed. Much to my shock, it was bombarded with messages of loss and grief, each of them signing off with 'Feminism. Empathy. Defiance.', which was Kat's infamous tattoo that encapsulated her personality.
This couldn't possibly be true, I thought. I hoped it was some sick joke. But as I searched through her Facebook profile, my worst fears were confirmed. My friend Kat was gone. I would never see her again.
While death is an inevitable fate for all of us, it still remains terrifyingly original. It's at the back of our minds for our entire life, but when it does come close to us, it provides a strange experience of which we are totally unprepared for.
I had never really experienced proper grief before, so to say that I was at a loss of what to say or how to feel would be a major understatement. I went to bed, though I didn't get any sleep. When morning arose, I did my usual routine and went to work just like it was any other day. But as I was in my office and the silence drowned out the mental noise, all I could keep asking myself was, how the hell is she actually gone?
Grief tends to do that to you.
It sends you on a ravaging rollercoaster ride so intense that you become numb to a point where the world around you suddenly stops. You're left to drown in a tidal wave of emotions as they smash against you in varying wavelengths. And when those feelings hit you, boy do they hurt.
They say that grief comes in five stages. First comes denial and anger, followed by bargaining, depression and acceptance. Since the beginning of time, we've been ingrained to think that exploring grief is a process – something that runs from A to Z or steps 1 to 5. When you get to that final stage of acceptance, life continues on.
This notion couldn't be any further from the truth. In fact, it's complete and utter bullshit.
The very worst part of grief is that the minute you think you are past it all, it starts all over again. It could be the simplest thing that brings you back – an old photo, walking past the place where you first met, drinking at the bar where you last spoke. When you lose someone dear to you, often one of the only things you have left are the memories you had together.
I first met Kat when I was interning at a not-for-profit organisation, where she was the editor of Voiceworks, the literary magazine the organisation owned. On my first day, when I was introduced to her and I politely went for a handshake, all she did was stare at my hand and say 'I'm not a shaker, I'm a hugger' before wrapping me in the warmest hug I had ever received. I was shocked by her immediate kindness, but warmed by the fact that such beautiful people like her still existed in the world.
She had a ubiquitous presence about her. Like me, she too was a writer and I greatly admired her works. She was so different, evolved, with a mindset that exceeded far beyond her years. When I learned of her death, it was our bond as writers that I struggled with the most. Writing would always bring me back to that feeling of devastating disbelief, and I didn't want to be reminded of her because I didn't want to be reminded of the fact that I would never see her again. So I stopped writing for a while, in the sense that the writing I did produce during that time lacked a substantial amount of pizazz and oomph.
When it came time for her memorial service, these stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance – were all felt ten fold. While we regaled our fondest memories of someone gone too soon, I began to develop a strong resentment towards the fact that society had taught us that grieving is a step by step process. Hence its infamous name, 'The Five Stages of Grief'.
This idea that grief comes with stages implies that we need to reach certain levels of progress before you move onto the next phase, and that therefore if you are not reaching the 'right' stage at the right time, then you're doing it all wrong.
Grief doesn't just stop. It comes and goes. Simply put, it just is. There are no steps or levels of progress. I couldn't control when grief arrived – I just had to accept it when it came. And on the days that it went, I had to accept that I would feel fine the whole day and not have to blame myself for not being sad.
Kat, if you're somehow reading this, know that I will never forget the wonderful kindness you always afforded me with. Not only was it a privilege to work by your side, but it was a privilege in knowing you and basking in your rebellious spirit against the norm. There are still days when I am startled at the realization that you are truly gone, that I will never again hear the sound of your smooth voice, see that bright smile on your face, or feel your familiar bear hug, but I take comfort in the fact that you are now in a better place.
Feminism. Empathy. Defiance. RIP Kat Muscat.

This evil, embodied within the frameworks of patron-client relationships and vested interest has been the cankerworm eating at the very fabric of the Nigerian State for more than half a century, preventing her from developing economically, socially and politically within the paradigms of a modern liberal democracy she claims to represent.
In Nigeria it is common for rich men to pay police men to intimidate their employees as they see fit. The country's petrodollars are constantly looted by the political elite, at the expense of the general populace. Being a politician is almost synonymous with being a billionaire. In a 2009 report by Transparency International (TI), it was estimated that the amount of $40 billion is paid in bribes by multinational corporations to Nigerian politicians for their operations within the country. Dr Oby Ezekwesili, a former Nigerian minister of Solid Minerals and Education and a former Vice president of the World bank Africa Division, in a lecture given at the 52nd annual conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, said that "An estimated $400 billion of the country's oil revenue has been stolen or misspent since the country's independence in 1960".
It is common to find publicly advertised "special exam centers", where people can come and pay a fee for guaranteed success in state sponsored terminal exams in Nigeria. I could go on, but I guess we all get the image of the grotesque nature of corruption in Nigeria.
So how then can we end something that has become so normalized to the level that doing the right thing becomes the exception? A taxi driver who returned =N=18 million left in his car by a passenger at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja was honoured with a state award. How do we presume to fight the ruling oligarchs that control the distribution of the country's petrodollars at different levels to buy the loyalties of their clients thereby bolstering their power networks?
First, we must understand the power we have as the people of Nigeria. We have for so long been passive about the corruption by the political elite, and have joined in committing various acts of fraud at own different levels. The leaders of Nigeria, if not entirely, in some ways reflect the image of the Nigerian people. Many of us like the concept of having "Godfathers" that pave the way for us, many times illegally. But what happens when our "Godfathers" are usurped by other more powerful Godfathers that have no use for our patronage? We are thrown out in the cold. The benefits from corruption are short term and are very much hostage to the rule of men – not the rule of law.
Second, we need to understand our social and cultural values and standards as Nigerians, when we make policies and implement systems of governance. It is a common saying that men know what is right but find they are unable to do what is right – doing the wrong things instead. This is a natural human characteristic. We first must understand this, then set up systems that are impervious to our manipulations. Systems, as it were, that forces us to do the right thing.
We have imported wholesale the institutions of governments of the West without critically implementing these institutions within the context of our value system. This has been a huge contribution to the ubiquity of corruption in the country. These western institutions are very important and we can see that they work efficiently as frontiers for good governance, upholding the philosophies of liberalism and modernity. But unwittingly implementing these western systems of government has not helped us in any way, in fact these institutions seem to act as effective disguises by which the political elite perpetuate their vileness. But then we see these systems work effectively all over the western world. Why is Nigeria different? The answer is that we have implemented these western institutions without taking our value systems into consideration.
Once these two points are understood then we can go ahead to formulate policies and institutions that would nip corruption in the bud. I propose the following:
When Obasanjo tried to have the constitution amended – through illicit means – so he could run for a third term in office it was the public outcry that went a long way in preventing this from happening. In a democracy, the people have the power to vote in and vote out any official they so desire. This is the principle of a democracy. It is time for us to put this power to use.
We could develop an Anti-corruption bill. In this bill we could make our demands clear and only vote for the individuals who would support and sponsor the bill. Instead of falling prey to all the empty promises these politicians make, they would be the ones acquiescing to our demands if they want to get elected. If not we all go into the streets, strike from work and make a general call for civil disobedience – shutting down the economy in process. Some of these bills I propose include:
The "Government Expenditure and Revenue Transparency Act": There would be a website set up by the government that would be frequently updated stating the current state of government accounts. Any amount of money paid into the account would be reported and any amount that leaves the account would be recorded. A paper trail would exist all the way to any individual that received money from government. Anybody would have the right to audit government accounts if he or she suspects any discrepancy. Certain parts of the account that cannot be viewed by the public like the covert operations of the government by her intelligence agencies would be accessible to independent individuals with top level government security clearances. Any suspected discrepancy in the movement of money would be taken with utmost seriousness. Once there is proof of foul play, everyone responsible would be given nothing less than a 5 year jail sentence.
The "Public Officer Assets Declaration Act": All public officers – including career civil servants, political appointee and elected officials – from the level of Assistant Director must declare all their assets. As a public officer, except the conjugal relations between you and your partner, everything about your life would be public information. Anyone can audit you if they believe you are getting rich on government funds. But they would be required to pay you an inconvenience fee, any time they want to carry out an audit of your personal accounts. This is put in place because you would have to give them the required information they would need to audit your accounts, which could be inconveniencing for anyone and so the process is not abused. If any discrepancy is found in your personal assets, and it is proven by independent sources, 70% of all your assets are seized and become government property, then the person auditing you gets 20% while you are left with 10% of your assets and given a one year jail term.
More policy recommendations are underway, but let us first critically analysis and brainstorm on the two proposed bills above. The aim for this is to put in checks upon checks that prevent people from having the ability to manipulate the system.
We can propose, recommend and write one thousand and one ways to combat corruption in Nigeria, but without the political will we would go nowhere. It through the possession of a strong political will that we can arrest and prosecute powerful statesmen, judicially execute individuals that have destroyed the political economy of the Nigerian State, become accountable ourselves, stand in line to wait our turn, allow our children fail WAEC or JAMB if they did not prepare well enough for this exams, embody transparency in all our doing by using video and audio surveillance systems we have no local control of and advocate market based solutions instead of discretionary based solutions among other things.

Dissertation Proposal
Development of an individual economy passes through different economic phases. Sometimes it is booming and sometimes it suffers from recession. This phenomenon can be viewed as projection of consumption and investment strategies of the individuals and the government of the country. Interest rate, being a major factor of economics, plays a great role in economic activities carried out by nation and the nationalities. A change in interest rates may affect other factors of the economy. For instance, investment strategies of the investors, consumption strategies of the individuals, foreign exchange, imports, exports etc. are affected by the interest rates. An increase in interest rates may decrease the investment, decrease the consumption, and affect the exchange rates and finally may influence the GDP of the nation. However, the effect of the interest rate on consumption behaviour has been a subject to controversy.
Gross domestic product (GDP), measure of development of the economy, is composed of different factors of the economy such as consumption, investment, government expenditure, import and export. GDP is often correlated with the standard of living. Among these factors, normally consumption occupies a largest chunk. So a change in consumption directly affects the GDP. So, the interest rates, consumption and the GDP are interrelated. Thus, I intend to demonstrate the correlation between 'interest rates and consumption' and 'interest rates and GDP' of the United Kingdom, in short run, through this dissertation.
* To identify the correlation between interest rates and consumption in the United Kingdom. * To identify the correlation between interest rates and GDP of the United Kingdom.
* To find the relationship between interest rates and exchange rates. * To find the affect of interest rates on public spending. * To find the affect of interest rates on investment.
* To identify affect of interest rates on imports and exports. Research Questions:
* What is the composition of GDP?
* How interest rates and exchange rates are related?
* How exchange rates, import and export are related?
* How interest rates and consumptions are related?
* What is the effect of change in interest rates to the private investment? * What in the difference between long run and short run effects in economy? * How interest rates, consumption and GDP are correlated?
Literature Review:
Many economists have put forward their findings about the relationship between interest rate and consumption. But, the effect caused by the interest rate on consumption strategies has been a matter of controversy. Before Keynes (1936), many economists considered the interest to be the important factor to determine the propensity of saving. Keynes introduced 'Absolute Income Hypothesis' (AIH) in 1936 which demonstrated that fluctuations in the short run interest rate had no significant effect on spending decisions; rather the consumption behaviour is entirely dependent on current income. The theory asserts that as income rises, the consumption will also rise. However, the increase in consumption may not necessarily follow the same rate of increase in income. Kuznets (1946) reported that the saving rate was not a function of current income. Since the saving ratio remained stable over long range of time. Unlike Keynes, in Modigliani's (1953) 'Life Cycle Hypothesis' (LCH), he assumes that the interest rate plays an influential role in consumption behaviour. According to LCH that individuals consume a constant fraction of the present value of their life time income. The life-cycle model also predicts that individuals save some fraction of their income, while they work, in order to finance their consumption after they retire.
In 1957, an American economist Milton Friedman developed a theory called 'Permanent Income Hypothesis' (PIH). This theory explains the consumption...
