Verena or Evanthia? Too strange for you?
Name: Evanthia Gender: Feminine Origin: Greek Meaning: Blossoming Flower Name: Verena Gender: Feminine Origin: German, Late Roman Possibly related to Latin verus "true". Saint Verena was a 3rd-century Egyptian-born nurse who went with the Theban Legion to Switzerland. After the legion was massacred she settled near Zurich.

I liek Verena. The other doesn't seem very appealing. Sounds like you're trying too hard to sound original. Like naming your kid Apple.
2 :
Don't really like Verena, but I think Evanthia is really pretty!
3 :
Verena sounds like a woman's sanitary product. Evanthia sounds like the name an investment group might give itself. Verena is quite nice though.
4 :
I like the sound of verana better , but I don't like either really
5 :
weird <_<
6 :
Verena sounds alright; kind of like Serena with a V. I don't care for Evanthia at all. It just isn't my style. I don't find it to be a pretty name at all. So I suppose I'd go with Verena, but I'm not loving either one to be honest.
7 :
I like Evanthia! It's unique. Verena sounds like a medical condition.
8 :
They are both so pretty! :) Verena is nice, similar to Serena, which makes it look normal, but not over the top. I cannot get over how beautiful the name Evanthia is, but it's a bit "too out there".
9 :
well, Verena sounds better to me. Claire and Isabelle are both beautiful names!
10 :
I like unusual names and think both are very pretty. To me safe names can sometimes, and I do mean only sometimes, be boring. Evanthia is my favorite of the two.
11 :
I like them both better than Isabelle. But Claire is one of my favorites for a middle name.

Opinions on my chances of getting into Harvard or any of the IVY's
Opinions on my chances of getting into Harvard or any of the IVY's?
I just finished junior year in a new school. I am Ecuadorian, and i studied their my whole life till this year in which I moved to Phillips Exeter Academy alone. The change was brutal to me and thus my usual 3.6 GPA got destroyed till my spring term grades in which I almost have a B+ average. My fall and winter terms were both B- average.my cumulative gpa for Junior year was a 7.4 which is midway between a B- and B Do you think Harvard will understand that? I am hoping that my senior fall grades will be around an A- average. My class this past year haven't been AP but I was in accelerated Russian and above average level math class. I am planning on next year taking a lot harder courses. As for my extracurricular activities, I have done 4 years of swimming, 1 year of fencing, 1 year of golf. Except for swimming (JV) i have never tried out for teams. I won a gold tournament in 9th grade back home. I have worked at a pizza restaurant that past couple summers. I also used to volunteer as a translator for Doctors that came to ecuador to operate for free. I also used to have an internship at a vet clinic. I have been in the Student government as a class representative and participated in MUN. At Exeter I volunteered at a nursing home once a week for 2 hours and I am also part of the student listener organization, which is a club that helps and listens to other students when they have problems, and the International Student Organization. I am proficient in English, Spanish, Russian. I can understand Italian, and I have just finished one year of Latin. I spent last summer in Siberia teaching English and Spanish. This summer I am going with a program to Tanzania to build schools and orphanages and then to Israel for some more volunteer work. Before this I spent a one month of my sophomore summer at a summer school in Switzerland and another one in London. I havent yet taken the SAT II so I am unsure of the scores but I am hoping to have well above average scores. As for the SAT I took it the first time June 4th, the scores still haven't arrived, but because of all the practice tests I think I will get above a 2000 but below a 2300. So do you think I have a shot at applying to Harvard? Thank you for reading it all

You should definitely apply if that is where you want to go. If you are passionate enough, you have a shot. Nothing is impossible. You should always apply to the schools you want to go to the most and backup schools. Good luck!

PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk
PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk!?
Has PETA gone over the edge? WATERBURY, Vt. -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. "PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says. PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health. "The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk." "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child," said a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry's. Read PETA's letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield September 23, 2008 Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, CofoundersBen & Jerry's Homemade Inc. Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr. Greenfield, On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I'd like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry's. Storchen restaurant is set to unveil a menu that includes soups, stews, and sauces made with at least 75 percent breast milk procured from human donors who are paid in exchange for their milk. If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers-and cows-would reap the benefits. Using cow's milk for your ice cream is a hazard to your customer's health. Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America's number one cause of death. Animals will also benefit from the switch to breast milk. Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup. And of course, the veal industry could not survive without the dairy industry. Because male calves can't produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth and sell them to veal farms, where they endure 14 to17 weeks of torment chained inside a crate so small that they can't even turn around. The breast is best! Won't you give cows and their babies a break and our health a boost by switching from cow's milk to breast milk in Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tracy Reiman Executive Vice President I am somewhat biased as I own a dairy and we treat our cows very well. They get the best feed, clean bedding, and living conditions, vet care, etc. We don't sell to veal farms(I have never heard of them). What do you the yahoo public think? Ghira ^ look up^

to me, PETA is usually always overboard a lot of times.
2 :
I get annoyed with PETA because they go overboard. In fact, I used to get their mailings, and after requesting, several times, to be removed from their list, to no avail, I proceeded to send them a thick packet (in their self-addressed postage pre-paid envelope), a ton of recipes, including roast, leg of lamb, fried chicken...you get the idea. They never contacted me again, fortunately. I would not want to buy ice cream with human breast milk in it. I think that's grose, but then, I also think cow's milk is grose. That's why I drink rice milk and almond milk. The cow's milk makes me sick!
3 :
yes, PETA has gone overboard again. it's sad that there is an organization that treats animals better than humans. not to mention, with a new demand for breast milk in mass produced food products i can picture another reason for welfare mothers to sit on their butts and make money.
4 :
I heard about that. That is gross. I strongly oppose animal cruelty and abuse and killing animals for luxury like furs, tusks, horns, etc. However, I don't support PETA itself.
5 :
After I got over the initial shock, I laughed out loud because this is preposterous! Seriously, are they going to have "wet nurse" (slaves or other women who nursed the owner's/employer's child) farms or labs? PETA just wanted to get their name out there and used any tactic for publicity. Just dismiss them - I know they're trying to do good - but even one of their spokesperson's spoke out against this. I'll try to find the story, and post it.
6 :
Yes I had heard about this. it is insane! These people are insane. First they would have to find women to volunteer, and they would need to find ALOT, we produce just enough for our babies. I see slavery coming out of this and who in their right mind would buy something like this. Dr Spock- the leading expert on child care? Yeah maybe some people think that way. I think the people at PETA really need to get a clue and do some research. How do they know breast milk really is healthier? There could be a reason that only babies use breast milk. I wonder if it is not good for adult consumption. Cow milk has been used for human consumption forever, I doubt it really is that bad. We know that it is bad for infant consumption, but after the child is a year or so, it is fine. It is my belief that animals were put here for a purpose and that Humans were put here for a higher purpose. When we place animal life as more important than human life we offend God.
7 :
Who takes PETA seriously anyway? These are terrorists who throw blood on people for wearing fur and throw rocks at children who fish. According to PETA "owning or possessing" animals for pets is wrong, Owning a pure bred pet is worse as that was unnatural breeding. They believe all animals should be allowed to free roam and breed at will. The believe you should not spay or neuter any animals. I would suggest members of PETA should be spayed or neutered except that really isn't necessary because the males are already psychologically neutered by the alpha-bitches.

i need to do a comic strip with 10 events here they are: 1. Agnes Elizebeth Joy was born on 12/25/1844 in Swanton, VT. 2. Her family moved to Quebec when she was very young. She ran away and joined the circus She was an equestrienne (rides horses) She also became a dancer and an acteress using the name Mlle. Agnes LeClercq. 3. She married Colnel (Felix) Salm-Salm. He held the title of Prince in Prussia, but his brother was crown prince. Agnes received several commisions, her husband, Salm, fought in Mexico, Agnes went with him. She was noted for her steadiness and her calm power. 4. August 18, 1870, Felix was killed, buried on the battlefield. Agnes would not have that.

She was the subject of an article in 1890 that she was a woman of the title who has again sprung into prominence-standing out, untiring tin her efforts to lessen the suffering of men in battle. 10.

Well - maybe it's not so much a comic strip as a "drawing" of that moment in time. For #1, for example, draw a mother holding a child and then, next to it, a birth announcement with the data. For #2 - show her standing on a horse in a circus rink. For #3 - draw a bride and groom and a wedding announcement For #4, - show a battlefield and a death announcement. Show her over the grave (with a shovel?) And so on - good luck For #5 -
