A paperback writer is a writer who's book has been published as a paperback.
I am not sure what you mean by "on call." But many news reporters, whether working for a newspaper or for radio and TV, are expected to cover breaking news; that means their editors need to keep in touch with them and be able to reach them (by phone, by text message, etc) if something important is happening. Being a newscaster is not a 9 to 5 job. Anchors like NBC's Brian Williams or ABC's David Muir generally just read the news at certain fixed times (like 6.30 pm); but at other times, even they may be sent out on assignment to cover a story. However, it is usually the reporters, rather than the anchors, who are expected to go wherever the story takes them, whether it's daytime or evening. So, in that sense, you could say they are on call, because their station may contact them and tell them to hurry into the office on a weekend or a holiday or at 2 AM, if a major news story breaks.

Helen Thomas was born in Winchester, Kentucky on August 4, 1920. Her parents were Lebanese immigrants from Tripoli, Lebanon. Helen was raised as a Christian in the Greek Orthodox church.
When was the term genocide created and why?
Raphael Lemkin, a lawyer of Polish-Jewish origin - was moved to investigate the attempt to eliminate an entire people by accounts of the massacres of Armenians. He did not, however, coin the word until 1943, applying it to Nazi Germany and the Jews in a book published a year later, "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe."

Gloria Steinem is an American feminist, journalist, and social and political activist who became nationally recognized as a leader of, and media spokeswoman for, the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s. She is thus considered one of the mothers of second-wave feminism.
She was the founder of a feminist women's magazine called Ms, and also reported and wrote free-lance articles for various publications (including the NY Times) about sexism and gender stereotypes. Attractive, articulate, and photogenic, Ms. Steinem became a frequent commentator on women's issues for TV and magazines. She has remained a passionate advocate for women's rights and a spokeswoman for the empowerment of women and girls world-wide.
What is the history of an Ullman Mfg print called Priscilla dated 1899?
I think it's got a connection w/ the Spanish American war. I think ther are some others like this dated 1898 when the war was mostly fought. The treaty was signed in 1899. There is another photo of this era called "The last letter". The outfit is of a nurse or nursing student or aid worker I think. I had this on my wall for years before I noticed that it's a studio portrait w/ an ocean backdrop. I wish I could find out more myself. It's a nice piece.

For and against of media cause of all social evils?
Media is just a tool that can go either way.
Right now i would say that more evil people are using media than good.
it didnt use to be like that, go back in time 40 years and look at media then.

What are different types of grounds in electronic circuits?
A "ground" in electric or electronic circuits, is a theoretical entity that is at zero volts everywhere. The Earth itself is often used as an approximation to this, and sometimes grounds are called "Earth" connections. There is only one ideal ground.
However, in electric and electronic engineering, much of the challenge is dealing with real-world things that differ from the ideal or theoretical model. Grounding is one of those where the difference between the ideal and real-world must be addressed. The topic of grounding and shielding is complex.
Engineers take complete courses in grounding and shielding and very senior engineers can puzzle over grounding issues for days or weeks, so it is not possible to give a comprehensive answer in a short space.
It is useful to think of some of the different functions of a ground:
1. A ground provides a return path for current
2. A ground provides a reference point for measuring other potentials or signals
3. A ground provides a safety connection for metal enclosures
4. A ground provides a shield to screen out electromagnetic noise, as in a coaxial cable or Faraday cage
5. A ground plane is needed for an antenna to function properly
6. In electronic circuits, the ground is often used as a heat sink to dissipate heat from components
It is often a good idea to use different "grounds" for different functions. For example in electrical wiring both the neutral and protective ground wires are ground connections, but one serves as a current return path and the other is a safety connection. There are very good practical reasons to have these implemented as two different wires.
In electronic circuits, different grounds are often used because real ground paths have resistance, inductance and capacitance and signals take time to travel from one part of the circuit to another--especially when thin copper traces are used on a circuit board.
The primary concern in real-world grounding is considering current flow and current paths. For example in a PC board, power returns and high-speed clock signals usually use different copper ground traces than low-level audio or sensor signal reference grounds, so that the transient current from switching does not affect the ground reference for tiny signals. The grounds are tied together at one point, so that there is no circuit path for current to travel between the paths, but they are at the same potential voltage.
None of this would be necessary if we had an ideal ground--zero volts everywhere, with no impedance between any two points.

"Hewitt was killed by unknown attackers. Her charred remains were discovered in a Hiace minibus in the Riversdale, St. Catherine area".
What is the value of a new haven 600at?
I am a big fan of this shotgun, have had one for many years. Also added a deluxe model to my collection. As far as value is concerned it is the same for everything else, "whatever someone is willing to give you for it." The value that I would put on it goes like this, Excellent condition, poly choke, 200-225, used vg condition175-200, and most everything else between 100 and 175 dollars is fair price for shotgun. You see its not that good of a gun as far as manufacture is concerned, its good quality, but not the same as a Browning or Beretta. Its a hunting shotgun, you can put meat on the table and have fun shooting clay birds on occasion, it is just a shotgun all the same. Other than having one because it was your "first" gun, and reliving your youth. Nothing special about it. But, I like mine because it was my first and I still have it.
Yes. There should be no electronic communication in the classroom.
What is 'temporal sloping' in ophthalmology?
it is a description of a variation seen in the optic nerve
Why doesn't it snow in counties like Ecuador Ghana Nigeria?
Countries close to the equator have naturally warmer climates. It must be below freezing to snow. If the climate is too warm to get below freezing (32 degrees F, 0 degrees C) and stay at that temperature or colder for sustained amounts of time (a few hours at the minimum), then it cannot snow. Also, in very dry areas (deserts, for example), there is barely enough water or moisture in the air for it to be able to rain. The temperatures are usually too warm, and so what little moisture there is available, it will fall as rain and not snow.

The poem originally appeared in the December 1964 issue of McCall's magazine and is attributed to Margaret Cousins, who was managing editor of the magazine at the time. The original text layout was centered, with linebreaks added mainly for aesthetic purposes. I have reformatted the text for easy reading but it is otherwise exactly as it was written in that first printing.

In the long twilight of the year, the faces of the children grow luminous. Rosy with cold, arabesqued with snowflakes, leaning into the wind, or drowsing before the fire, their eyes large, they look and listen, as if they glimpsed the peripheries of miracle or heard a soundless music in the air. From the innocent kingdom of implicit belief to that uncomfortable arena where the implacable mind battles the intractable heart, the faces of children at Christmas are lighted with visions of things to come.
What shall we give the children?
It seems certain that they will travel roads we never thought of, navigate strange seas, cross unimagined boundaries, and glimpse horizons beyond our power to visualize. What can we give them to take along? For the wild shores of Beyond, no toy or bauble will do. It must be something more; constructed of stouter fabric discovered among the cluttered aisles and tinseled bargain counters of experience, winnowed from what little we have learned. It must be devised out of responsibility and profound caring - a home-made present of selfless love. Everything changes but the landscape of the heart.
What shall we give the children?
Attention, for one day it will be too late.
A sense of value, the inalienable place of the individual in the scheme of things, with all that accrues to the individual - self-reliance, courage, conviction, self-respect, and respect for others.
A sense of humor. Laughter leavens life.
The meaning of discipline. If we falter at discipline, life will do it for us.
The will to work. Satisfying work is the lasting joy.
The talent for sharing, for it is not so much what we give as what we share.
The love of justice. Justice is the bulwark against violence and oppression and the repository of human dignity.
The passion for truth, founded on precept and example. Truth is the beginning of every good thing.
The power of faith, engendered in mutual trust. Life without faith is a dismal dead-end street.
The beacon of hope, which lights all darkness.
The knowledge of being loved beyond demand or reciprocity, praise or blame, for those so loved are never lost.
What shall we give the children?
The open sky, the brown earth, the leafy tree, the golden sand, the blue water, the stars in their courses, and the awareness of these. Birdsong, butterflies, clouds, and rainbows. Sunlight, moonlight, firelight.
A large hand reaching down for a small hand, impromptu praise, an unexpected kiss, a straight answer. The glisten of enthusiasm and a sense of wonder. Long days to be merry in and nights without fear.
The memory of a good home.
