As someone was kind enough to ask about a Answers.com supervisor please see related link
I answered this before and gave a link to the interview as proof. Garethfx is the moron who not only removed the link but ruined the sentence. I have therefore removed the information. Garethfx you suck!
Garethfx has bad answers and mine was way better
NewZealand along with Australia is one of the founder members of the RWC and therefore they do not have to join, they are founders with a guaranteed place in the competition as are the IRB Governing board members Garethfx's answer (above) is fine if you meant the ''Rugby'' world cup... but that's next year - so I'm assuming you mean the FIFA ''football'' world cup (this question is confusingly in categories for both football and rugby). New Zealand didn't just "think of joining" this year - they've entered the qualifying tournament for every FIFA World Cup since 1974. Prior to this year, Australia were part of the Oceania confederation (they're now in the Asia qualification process), and since they're generally a stronger team than New Zealand they were more likely to qualify. This year is only the second time New Zealand have managed to qualify, which they did by beating other teams from the Oceania region before winning a play-off against the fifth-placed Asian team (Bahrain).
Initially it would be wise to have;Tourches, especially the wind up version as these are not battery reliantmobile phone and a charger whcih can work off the connection to the wind up torch, these are availableSmall camping stove of the single burner type that will allow for some heat and warming of food.Radio, battery operated or wind up - either will be of use.Warm wrap around blankets as most outages happen in wet or cold weather.Tinned foods which have long shelf life and can be stored for such emergancies as chilled and frozen may not last in their environment if the power is out for excessive times.Idealy a small 2 kw power generator would be of best use as it can be used to keep essential electrics running until power is restored.__________________________________________________________My list I was writing while Garethfx was posting his.====The most important thing to have in case of a power outage, if you can afford it is a power generator and gasoline.After that consider these:FlashlightsMatchesCandles (don't leave burning candles unattended)Battery powered (or oil) lanternBatteries (C or D cells for the lantern and flashlights and AA cells if you have led flashlights or lantern)Car charger for your cell phoneA battery powered radioA full tank of gasIf you expect the outage to last more than eight hours:Canned goods you can eat coldManual can openerIf this happens often and if your house has natural gas get a one-burner portable gas stove and make sure there's an avalible gas outlet.If not, get a Coleman camp stove and a couple of spare bottles of propane if you can go outside.If it's too cold outside a camp stove you can use indoors with extra fuel.Sleeping bags, if it's very cold

Actually, you can be thinking about college anytime. The levels of thinking about college is what you should be concerned about. You do not NEED to start thinking early unless you have an urgent desire to get out of state. Elementary students should just hear about college. Middle school students should be developing interests and realizing what colleges are near them and what a scholarship is. High school students should slowly build from there, starting sophomore year when they are already used to high school (work load ya know). So, middle school is a really good time to get semi-acquainted with the whole process.AnswerI think the best time to be thinking about college is 7th or 8th grade year. A student doesn't need to know what they want to do, but just start exploring what colleges are out there and what majors are offered by different schools. A student should seriously start looking into colleges and majors at the beginning of their junior year and apply the beginning of their senior year. I recommend visiting colleges the summer between a student's junior and senior year. I, personally, was thinking about college in fourth grade! I don't think a person is ever too young to be thinking about college and exploring their options.AnswerAt 10 you are probably too young to think about it seriously, but really there's no reason not to be mulling it over as you mature.AnswerYour never to young to start planning ahead, just don't dwell on it to much until you reach your sophmore year of high school, then start your hardcore planning.Trust me.Gifted StudentsHighly gifted students can need college very early; many attend as early as age 10. If you need to go to college this early, an SAT or ACT with scores better than average is extremely helpful. For more information about giftedness, look at http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/. (In response to this ^, No. Do not send your kid to college at ten years old, A child could be a genius and do fine with the course work, but they would do horrible socially because they have nothing in common with the rest of the students. College is at least as much if not more a social experience than it is a learning one. In conclusion, bad idea)In response to the response: A child who is ready for college at 10 is likely to be a poor social match with a bunch of 10-year-olds anyway. We have had excellent luck sending our child to community college while still living at home starting at 11. He had no friends at the college at first, but now that he is 16 he has a few. He was always able to work with the other college students just fine in group projects and in his tutoring at the tutoring center. His friends are elsewhere. When he is traditional college age, he will choose his four-year college and go away. We know several people who have had equally good luck. I'm not aware of anyone for whom this hasn't worked well.Reply: I could have graduated early and left home but didn't. It was the right choice for me for the reasons stated above. That doesn't mean it is right for you. A 14 year old recently sailed around the world alone. Follow that kind of passion if you have.AnswerYou are never too young to think about your future.Just don't think about the negitives.AnswerYou can start thinking about it at anytime, but don't start planning until 8th or 9th grade. You need to at least have in mind then whether or not you want to go to college and if you do, if you want to go to an ivy league school, a private school, a public school...once you have made these decisions, it will help you choose whether or not to take advance placement or honors courses. It will also guide you on how hard to study for the SATs.It depends on which college you want to go to. If you want to go to a good college then start getting good grades in middle school. Advanced courses in middle school means more difficlut classes in high school which helps your transcript. High school grades are the only ones that matter though.AnswerThe more early you think about colledege, the better it is.AnswerBegin now. College success requires a mature mindset and the sooner you begin to think about who you are, want to be and how a college might help you get there the better off you are. This is a complicated journey so don't be discouraged. You are already taking a big step by asking the question. Don't focus on majors, focus on what you like to do and see what classes explore those things. Interest inventory tests can help you get started with some suggested careers if that helps ground your search.middle-school-preparation.suite101.com/article.cfm/college_planning_for_middle_school_studentsA few tips:Don't rely on anyone but you to get you to your goal. Counselors are over burdened and colleges are businesses that are looking for your money. Parents often don't know how to ask the right questions for today's college demands or aren't able to give it as much attention as they would like to.Visit schools if you can. Think about the time of year you are visiting and if that represents what your experience will be like.Compare job placement rates and graduation rates between different schools.Think about the return on you investment in school - think of it as purchasing educational services. Will your career pay off your bills? You might be surprised. Quite often a bus driver makes more than a graphic designer.Think about your heroes and people whose work you like. Find out how they got there. You might be very surprised.As a college consultant, I don't think you need to think about college until you are a freshman in high school. The first two years of high school you need to make sure you are taking the most challenging courses you can, getting the best grades, and beginning to pursue some extracurricular activities that interest you. As a high school junior, you need to begin thinking about the kind of college you might like to attend, take a test prep course for the SAT and ACT, and look for ways you can pursue leadership positions in your extracurricular activities. At this point, you will begin your college search and seriously get+++ My opinion about this topic being a high school student looking into colleges a lot this year....I have attended a Career Center for the last 2 years and have really had an eye opener. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to go into classes as early as 3rd grade to discuss career choices, its just a first look but its great to see how small children are interested in different career options. I have gone to 8th grade classes as well as produced a video and PowerPoint regarding "first looks and experiences in career fields"... if you choose a career center you get a first look, and if you like it, you get college credit that transferes to some colleges as well as helps you get "base" knowledge in the career choice. With that said, I am glad I chose a career center to see if "teaching" is really what I want to do... now that I have done that and KNOW I want to be a teacher, I wish I would have looked into SPECIFIC colleges and scholarship money my sophomore year, and latest junior year... I am doing a lot of work now but have found some great opportunities for junior students! The earliest the better in my opinion.*** NOTE it is my opinion that the answer someone put above ... have a baby... that is NOT the answer at all ... though we see those WITH babies at a teen age... get more funding than we do.. but really???? That does not out weigh the stress and disfunction that family will have... DONT have a baby for that reason, that's a whole new question.
