The Medicinal, Industrial, Recreational, and Commercial Uses of Marijua

The Medicinal, Industrial, Recreational, and Commercial Uses of Marijuana Punishments against ownership of a medication ought not be more harming to the person than the utilization of the medication itself said President Jimmy Carter in a message to Congress in 1977 (Family Council on Drug Awareness).

Stay Tuned

Stay Tuned Hey hey! Welcome to the liveblog! At this very moment Im sitting in a hotel in Portland Oregon absolutely surrounded by prefrosh. Why am I absolutely surrounded by prefrosh? Because Im sitting at the Brown Yale MIT information session, waiting to here all about two schools Ive never been to and one school with which Im intimately familiar. Ill be live blogging Mikeys (the MIT speaker, and recent graduate) information but, as this is not a Brown or Yale admissions blog, I probably wont be blogging about their info. Instead, I will make random observations about the random people I see around me. _____ It all brings back some pretty awesome memories. I dont know about you guys, but I attend a freaking ton of these info sessions. Not just MIT, but Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, etc etc. It always involved hour drives to Portland, free pitchers of water, free pens and pamphlets, and lots and lots of info. Its been several years since Ive attended, I guess because Im no longer exploring schools, but its been a long time since Ive gone through the admissions process so I figured I should brush up on my statistics and refresh my memory about how admissions actually works. You know, I need to know what theyre telling you guys! _____ The representative for Brown is starting off the evening. The format for the evening will be each of the representatives to discuss a broad, general aspect of admissions that is relevant to each school. Then, after the general information, each speaker will discuss the individual schools. At the end there will be some QA , which I probably wont be blogging (because Ill be talking). _____ Topic one: The college search! The college search is all about research. There are a bunch of ways to do it, visiting, info sessions, websites, etc. She mentions that the average number of schools people are applying to is pushing 15, which they believe is TOO MUCH! What do they suggest? Aim for 7-9, and round them well. Some reaches, some target schools, and some safety schools, but make sure you like ALL OF THEM. You dont want to get into a school you dont want to attend. Itll make your April much easier when you have to decide. _____ Topic two: Admissions! Nick, from Yale, is the speaker. He was a history major and is from Ohio (shout out). Here are some things to think about. EA, ED, or Regular admissions? Should you apply early? Generally, Early Action is non-binding, Early Decision is binding. If you choose to apply early you need to decide if you are ready. The college will not be able to see your senior year, so make sure your Junior year is stellar. Dont feel compelled or obligated to apply early, only apply if you feel ready and have done a lot of research and know what youre doing. Yale, Brown, and MIT are all highly selective schools. They accept about 10% or lower of all applicants. Thats the bad news. The good news is that theres no checklist for being a successful candidate. Many different students fit into different types of classes and will compliment each other. From the applicant pools you could construct two or three different classes, but the admissions office has to choose which class they think will do best. _____ Since its not all about test scores, you should aim to be as true to yourself as possible. The college wants to know about you, not about what you think they want. They know what they want, be yourself. The essay is very important. Dont be analytical, dont write about a current event or history, write about yourself, show them about yourself. Its a challenge, its difficult, but its necessary. _____ Topic three: Financial Aid. Mikey is going to talk about how financial aid works. A lot of people look at the sticker price for the school and are scared away because of it. Admissions is need-blind, meaning they dont look at your finances when you apply. Financial aid is completely need-based, meaning each school will calculate your demonstrated need and will pay for that. The rest is up to you. Your demonstrated need is calculated from the FAFSA, the Collegeboard CSS profile, and various tax forms. Using these, they determine what the family should pay, what the student should pay (internships, outside work, scholarships, etc), and then the rest is paid by the school as a grant (not a loan, were talking free money). A lot of times the actual payment is much lower than the sticker price. You will apply for financial aid before you are accepted, this is normal. _____ Question: How has the economy affected endowments and financial aid? Endowments have been hit, but the money isnt coming from financial aid, so no worries. Question: What is the difference between early action and early decision? Early action is completely non-binding. If you apply early and are accepted then you still get to wait to decide. Early action single-choice (Yale) means you can only apply early to one school, but at MIT you can apply early to multiple schools (just, you know, not Yale). Brown is Early Decision, meaning you can only apply to them early, and if you are accepted you MUST attend. ED = binding, EA = non-binding. Question: International students? Brown is not need blind for international students, MIT is still need blind, so finances wont come into play. No more than 8% of MITs student body can be international. International can only apply regular action, not early. Yale is need blind without a strict cap, but they aim for around 10% of their student body to be international students. _____ Question: Transfer admissions? At MIT its dependent on how many freshmen dont go onto sophomore year (around 2%). Its very selective and very difficult, make sure you have a super stellar freshman year at your other college. _____ Question: High school foreign language requirement? MIT = 1 year! Whoo-hoo! Brown = around 4 years for competitive. Question: IB diplomas? Colleges are familiar with IB and understand that its very difficult. They take it into account. _____ Its time for Brown to talk now, and time for me to look around! Its filled to capacity here, there are people sitting on the floor and standing all along the back of the room. Im debating standing up and giving somebody my seat, but Im in the middle of the last row and itd be all awkward to stand up and have one person sit down. This is my first info session with multiple schools, its weird thinking that not all of the people here are interested in MIT, that some people dont care at all. _____ I think if a fire marshal walked in wed get in trouble. Oh, and this live blog is costing me $10 since Im not staying in the hotel and MIT isnt whipping out the magic AmEx to pay for it. Maybe Ill bug Matt McGann later for a $10 raise on my next paycheck. Ooh, at Brown they say they dont like it when people fall asleep in class and theyre all super engaged all the time. At MIT, we stay up until 5 in the morning building things and blowing things up, so by the time we get to lecture we are completely zombified, which is good, because I always feel like Im accomplishing more at 4 in the morning than at 9 in the morning. _____ There are little lamps all around the room. _____ The girl next to me has polka dots on her shoes. _____ Oh look, Brown builds a race car every year just like MIT! Ill bet they compete against each other. Shameless plug, if you attend MIT you should join the race car team, especially if youre MechE. They want you, trust me, they are always looking for help. _____ At Brown you can study abroad anywhere that youre allowed to travel as an American. You can also go to Cuba! thats a lol from me. _____ Browns band is the only band that ice skates at hockey games. Somebody from the MIT Marching Band please tell me this isnt true. _____ I wonder if anybody has ever hacked an info session? I wonder how that would work . . . _____ MIT Time!!! Go Mikey! He graduated in 2005, course 7. MIT is located on 150 acres of riverfront in Cambridge MA. Its a 10 minute walk across the bridge to Boston, and many of the dorms are laid out along the river with beautiful views of the city. _____ MIT is a future-minded school thats centered around problem solving, looking to solve the world problems and better mankind through technology. There are lots of initiatives at MIT, including the MIT Energy Initiative, the Poverty Action Lab, and the MIT Center for Cancer Research. _____ Oh look! A picture of MITs president, Susan Hockfield, standing there next to Obama. I guess that makes MIT kind of important in terms of the work were doing. Another picture is of Tish 10, a student in the MIT Wheelchair class, a class that designs wheelchairs for countries that dont necessarily have pavement. This class gives students the opportunity to design for other countries and then travel and help implement their inventions. MITs undergrads, around 4000 of them, are incredibly diverse. Mikeys rattling off some percentages for races and ethnicity, feel free to look them up. Students come from all over the country, world, and all sorts of financial backgrounds. Youll meet a lot of people from a lot of different cultures. _____ MIT has five schools, but they arent really divided or separated. The first school is the school of engineering, the most popular choice among undergraduates. About half the students are engineering students. Another school is the school of science. About 25% of undergrads are scientists. The third school is the architecture and urban planning school. The fourth school is the school of economics and management, including the Sloan School of Management, which a very very very top tier business school. The fifth school is the humanities school. A lot of people dont realize MIT has humanities, but there are over 500 humanities courses offered each year. _____ Obligatory Eric Lander picture (nobel prize winning biologist, teaches freshman bio). MIT is VERY collaborative. You are rarely all alone, suffering through homework by yourself. HW is often done in groups, people love to help, and you can always count on support from classmates. Its NOT COMPETITIVE! People want to help you, if not just because in the future you may be able to help them. There is no class rank at MIT, all students and degrees are treated the same way, no pressure. P/NR is the magic first semester system at MIT. If you pass your class you just get a P on your report card. If you fail, its stricken from the report card and it shows that you never took it. You cannot fail a class first semester of freshman year. _____ Research at MIT is huge, especially because of the UROP program. UROPs let you tag along on a research team with professors and their grad students, doing real research and getting paid or getting credit. Students get published in papers, can submit research, and it looks great on resumes. MIT has many abroad opportunities. Students can spend their Junior year in Cambridge (the other one) and theres another program that lets students travel to Spain. Any other study abroad opportunities can be worked out. The MISTI program lets students work and study abroad during the summer in a variety of countries. DLAB is a class that lets students travel and work abroad, it develops a technology or device that solves a problem and then travels to a country and helps people use their new technology. _____ Fun! MIT students love to have fun! Not everybody locks themselves away, people love to join clubs, build stuff, play sports, etc. Of note are underwater hockey and the chocolate lab. Sports: 33 varsity sports (we lost 8 this last year :( ). MIT is division III (except for crew, thats Div I). MIT has a PE program thats mandatory, but there are a bunch of fun classes (pistol juggling, archery, etc). MIT has a dome. Theres an entire slide devoted to this dome. Oh, this is a lead-in to the hacking speech. Harmless, anonymous, and sometimes involve the great dome. Pictures of: R2D2 dome, Harry Potter scar, Fire Truck on the dome, and the classic police car. hacks.mit.edu for more pictures (definitely check out that website, its really fun.) _____ Its Yale time, Im going to try to escape its like a million degrees in here. _____ Ok, Ive escaped to the little outside room, where its about 20 degrees cooler. Its just impossible to have that many people in one room without it getting too hot. My brass rat was about to slide off my finger! _____ I dont think the people around me realize that the chair I left is free booty now. Its just sitting there, empty. Sad times! _____ Ive drunk my free glass of water. It was really cold, and quite tasty. Im very picky about my water, so much so that I cant drink tap water from my dorm, I need to Brita it first. I can taste differences in water. This is good water. Yale is talk talk talking. _____ Hm, Im not sure I have anything else to say, I think this is going to be about it. After this theyre breaking into separate areas to talk to prefrosh about the schools, which Ill be helping with, so I guess this is goodbye! I hope you enjoyed, it was some frantic typing. Now, go watch Harry Potter (or pirate it or w/e, see it somehow), and have a good rest of week.

Essay about Privacy of Personal Information on the Internet

Privacy of Personal Information on the Internet . Introduction Due to the rise of the internet, information privacy has become a first level social and political issue gaining a global position. Globalization of the privacy issue has been driven by worldwide trade, communication, travel, and marketing.

A heightened sense in the US came about with the 9/11 attacks. The question may be asked, So how far do we go in protecting data?

Personal Narrative Dreams A Dream As A Dream - 1201 Words

Looking back on that night, it seems more like a dream than a reality. And yet, it must have been real. Dreams dont feel that real. Plus, I still have his flower... Let me explain: It was the night of the school dance, and I was furious. Why? Because not a single one of the stupid guys in my stupid class had asked me to the dance. Which was totally unfair. Most of the girls here were vacuous ignoramuses whos entire existence was comprised of whining about things that didnt matter and no one cared about and talking about which guys were cuter. And me, the only reasonably smart girl in class who actually knew anything? I didnt have a date. Not that I liked any of the guys here, but they could have at least had the decency to ask me.†¦show more content†¦This time as I stood up and walked to the door with a lot more caution. Then I opened the door as little as possible and slipped outside into the cool night air. A couple of deep breaths later I was sitting with my back against one of the trees planted outside our gymnasium, which was currently our dance hall, staring up at the sky. The night was gorgeous. Stars were everywhere in the vast welkin (I loved that word), more than Id ever seen before. Most of the life I could remember had been spent in the city, where the sky was nothing but black on nights.
