Yahoo Answers Answers Part 50
what is your most memerable moment of highschool?
Hey Chamber,
Does Sex count? If it does, then there would be many memorable places that were an intimate portion of my High School years.
Oh, yeah, and the friends! Yup, can’t forget the friends….

Plz help!! could somebody get me some information on UNHRC?
Well Teena,
UNHRC is the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
Usually they concern themselves with the plight of women in formerly communist countries as well as countries that traditionally put women in roles of less than equal footing with men (countries like Yemen and Iran)
Lately though, I have seen the name raised in dealing with the prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. I don’t know if they just hijacked the name, letterhead or if there is something more. I would contact the United Nations and ask for specifics regarding any publications that you might have.
Good Searching,

Experience with Middlesex Management in NJ? GILL LANE APTS???? Lawyers…??? ANyone??
Well Stalyx,
Here’s the skinny. First, you are in New Jersey. Housing laws are different in every state in the U.S.
Most agree that:
1). Have they done anything illegal (other than giving you a copy of the signed lease)? Nope
2). Are they running a substandard housing tract (You’ve looked, did you see Rats? Open sewer lines? Exposed Wiring ?) ? Nope
3). Are they evicting you because they got a better offer/your race/your marital status/your sexual orientation? Nope
Your best case scenario is to:
1st DOCUMENT everything! (write down when you called, what message you left, whom you spoke to)
2nd Write them a letter stating that you feel that they are lacking in their customer service skills and that you don’t feel that they are able to respond to your needs once you are a tenant in possession. Give them a notice that you will not be moving in!
3rd Get a Proof of Mailing, preferably Certified Mail. You need proof that they got a copy of this letter.
4th GET THIS DONE NOW! Do not wait!
5th Be prepared to go to court! You may lose the first month’s rent. The landlord will have to prove that they were financially harmed. If you don’t move in, this will be harder for them to prove.
6th Make noise! If you have a local consumer helper on the news, try contacting them and see if they will help.
If you can afford it, contact a lawyer. If you can’t, there is usually an advocate at your local small claims court — They can give you limited advise. Contact legal aid. They are always very far behind! Don’t wait to do the other things! Legal Aid usually is up to the last minute and by that time, you may have no rights left.
Good Luck to you,

Can a deaf person become a cop?
Hey Water,
Well, kinda! You can get hired in most departments as a CSO. That is a sworn police officer that works as the police department interface with the Community. My sister is one with the Riverside County (California) Sheriffs Dept.
How it works is that when additional assistance is needed in a situation, certain officers with specialized training are called. My sister gets called during Domestic Violence or Child Endangerment cases. She also responds to Rape or Molestation cases. She carries no gun, and is not a uniformed officer. Sadly, you can fully understand how your challenge would not and could not be adaptable to front line field officer work.
Additionally, other fields that PD’s could use you in would be things like Evidence and Crime Scene analysis, Accident Investigators, Ballistics and Identification Specialists. All of these would be open and welcomed by many PD’s to accomplish their diversity goals. Contact your local PD recruiting office or see them at a job fair — they will be happy to give you additional information.
I hope that this has piqued your interest in following a law enforcement career.

what do you mean by to have speedy, impartial and public trial?
Hey Precious,
Well as the Constitution says, That is our right! We’ve just adapted it over the years.
1). You must be arraigned within 72 hours (from your arrest).
2). Your trial date must be set within 30 days from the date of arraignment or the next nearest available date.
3). Impartiality is guaranteed by either a jury (of your peers) or a judge who swears that he will weigh all evidence without prejudice (Although most judges do enter with a summary judgment in mind.).
4). Public means just that. Your trial is held open to the public (as opposed to a secret trial that some countries have used to convict persons of espionage.).
All of these rights can be waived or changed by you. You can say you waive your right to a speedy trial if you need more time to accumulate evidence. If you feel that a public trial would be too much for the rumor mills, (e.g. a celebrity divorce, a financial settlement for personal injury, etc.) you can petition (ask) the judge to bar the public. You can also ask that the records be sealed by the judge (done mostly when children are involved).
These rights are not guaranteed for those non-citizens or those suspected of treason or a threat to the U.S. government (Scary how The President got those rights “temporarily suspended” during the fight on terrorists.)
Hope this helps,

Have you revisited any of your own answers, to see for yourself how a question got resolved?
Hey Pieces,
Yup! All the time! I usually think that I know everything, and thankfully people on this site prove me wrong, everyday!
Several days ago, I answered a question regarding people in the middle east. I was right! I knew it!
A man answered with an answer that changed my opinion 180 degrees. If it had not been for this one guy, my narrow view would still be that — narrow.
So while some see this as only a game to see who will be number one in the points category, I see this as a way to get a little better educated and learn something important from my peeps!
Besides, Do you know how long it will take someone to get to level 10? I am surprised when I see a level 6 or 7! That’s a lot of time in front of the computer! (Hey, it might be a trivia question that Ken Jennings from Jeopardy couldn’t answer — “Reached the number 1 spot on Yahoo Answers after 16 months at the computer.” Who is…. )
Thanks for your time,
James in San Diego
