Studies have shown that men are better at dealing with abstract information — better visual-spatial capabilities. This translates into men being better problem solvers, particularly in the sciences like mathematics and engineering. Women are better at verbal skills, which probably translates to better on average english skills like writing.

What do these things mean in the real world?

The ability of men to deal with abstract knowledge better (particularly the top % of males) means they are generally the great problem solvers. Men produce the vast majority of new information for society that is considered knowledge. For example, 99% of inventions are by men, 99.99% of mathematical theory is by men ..etc. It really can’t be argued that women were held back in education in the last 100 years in math. There have been many women only colleges since 1900 (probably more than men only colleges), and these women only colleges failed to turn out any great mathematicians. No one prevented them from doing so.

In areas like chess, men dominate. The top 100 men chess players in the world are far better than the top 100 women chess players (this is not even close). Many international chess competitions still have a separate category for women in tournaments. In the French Chess championship, the top men averaged almost 300 points higher rating than the top women in the women’s division (100 point higher rating in high level chess is a significant difference).

See … http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4076

Another good example of where this ability of men to solve problems better is the IMO (International Math Olympiad), an international math competition for 20 year old and under students with no post secondary education.

See … http://imo2006.dmfa.si/index.html

This math competition is dominated by males year after year. The top scores (Gold medals) are by males year after year. IIRC, there was an article in New Scientist that stated — to the effect — that boys and girls achieved about the same marks in high-school. But another article (a few months later) on education stated that boys were doing 1/2 the homework in high-school as the girls (they were wondering how to get boys more motivated in school). If the boys are doing 1/2 the work and achieving the same marks, then just looking at the results (marks in high school) surely doesn’t tell the whole story. Boys are harder to motivate, but once they have a passion for something they can pursue it more "aggressively" than girls. Once you get the boys motivated to actually do some studying, make the problems a little more challenging, the differences can really start to show up. Like in the IMO.

" … In one Johns Hopkins University study of gifted pre-adolescent students, boys outperformed girls among the top scoring students on math by 13-to-1…."

See … http://www.kimberlyswygert.com/archives/002589.html

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest is another competition that is even more dominated by men than the Math Olympiad …

Perhaps the most striking area where this difference between men and women makes itself felt is in music composition. In classical musical composition there has never been what could be considered a “first-rank” female composer. We have Mozart, Bach, Handel, Beethoven … etc., but women composers are a footnote in the history of classical composition. One is hard pressed to find even any minor composers that are female that did anything of significance in classical music. The situation for the composition of musical scores for movies (sometimes referred to as program music — very similar to classical composition) today is no different than it was over 200 years ago in the time of Mozart — men completely dominate. From the theme to 007, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Zhivago … etc., all these moves have musical scores written by men. One would likely be very hard pressed to find even 1 or 2 movies in the top 250 at IMDB with music scored by a women — it just isn’t one of their strengths.

There have been many women pianists/violin players, and they play very well, but playing compositions is largely a feat of memorization. One can’t create a new composition by memorization, and there is no concrete rule-book on what the next note should be in a composition, so the problem is largely abstract. The rise of Jazz and big-band era music in the US since the year 1900 is another example where men did virtually all the composing. This is despite the fact that it’s very likely that more women than men in middle and upper class families since 1900 took music lessons and played the piano or other musical instruments.

The sooner women realize that men have intellectual strengths that give them advantages in certain areas over women (and women over men) the better off society will be. Feminists can drop the pretense that somehow in many fields that the top performers are male because there is some sort of bias or discrimination against women. So they plead for legislation, affirmative action programs and outright blatant preferences in these fields for women simply because of their gender. And these feminists can stop blaming men for the under-performance of women in these fields. The top 100 female chess players (performance wise) are not worth nearly the same pay as the top 100 men chess players.

Yo no soy implicado en este organizacion, sin embargo yo ayudo el medio ambiente.
Mi familia y yo reciclan mucho.
Apagamos todo de noche.
También, tomamos duchas cortas.
Las cosas pequeñas pueden mejorar mucho el medio ambiente.

En definitiva, NPPR ha ayudado nuestro medio ambiente y la gente en muchas maneras.
En mi opinión, yo no pienso que debe cambiarse o mejorarse.
Ellos han mejorado mucho y continuarán mejorar en el futuro.
Sé que NPPR tendrá éxito

In english

What is pollution prevention?
Pollution prevention is the reduction of contamination.
One of the goals of NPPR is to replace harmfull substances with less harmful substances.
Nppr also tries to stop pollution at the source.
Therefore, it is not a long term issue.
They reach out to people in many ways.
The most imporntant way to spread ideas is through meetings.
They share ideas and resources on new ways to prevent pollution.
They also have newsletter to educate people on these ideas.
Their biggest goal is to get the message to la gente.

I am not involved in this origination, however I do help the environment.
My family and I recycle a lot.
We turn off everything at night.
Also, we take short showers.
The little things can greatly improve the environment.

To conclude, NPPR has helped our environment and the people in many ways.
In my opinion I don’t think it should be changed or improved.
They have improved greatly and will continue to improve in the future.
I know that NPPR will succeed.

Hello.

The English version could use some improvement, but I didn’t touch it really. I only made changes to the Spanish version in order to come up with a somewhat decent text.
Again, this can be improved, but what follows is good Spanish, easy to understand, and it makes sense. I didn’t translate the acronym because I don’t know if such an organisation, or one with the same name, exists in Spanish-speaking countries. In any case, if this organisation existed in Spanish-speaking countries, the acronym would be different.
Some sentences sound like they need more information or detail, such as "apagamos todo de noche". I don’t doubt people will understand what you mean, but the sentence is not the best you could have used.
The are other sentences that are redundant, such as "In my opinion, I don’t think…". If you’re saying "I don’t think", it’s clear that you’re expressing your opinion, so you should get rid of either "in my opinion" or "I don’t think" (and make the rest of the sentence negative in this case).
The text is choppy, but I didn’t touch the layout. I don’t know what you need, so I respected your layout.

Here is a slightly improved version of what you posted:

¿Qué es la prevención de la contaminación?
La prevención de la contaminación es la reducción de la contaminación.
Uno de los objetivos de NPPR es sustituir sustancias perjudiciales con otras (sustancias) menos perjudiciales.
La NPPR también intenta detener la contaminación en su origen.
Por consiguiente, no es un tema a largo plazo.
La NPPR llega a la gente de muchas maneras.
La manera más importante de difundir ideas es mediante reuniones.
Ellos comparten ideas y recursos sobre nuevas maneras de evitar la contaminación.
También tienen un boletín informativo que educa la gente en estas ideas.
Su mayor objetivo es hacer llegar el mensaje a la gente.

Yo no formo parte de esta organización; sin embargo, ayudo al medio ambiente.
Mi familia y yo reciclamos mucho.
Apagamos todo de noche.
También tomamos duchas cortas.
Las pequeñas cosas pueden mejorar mucho el medio ambiente.

En definitiva, la NPPR ha ayudado a nuestro medio ambiente y a la gente de muchas maneras.
En mi opinión, no debería cambiarse o mejorarse.
Ellos han mejorado mucho y continuarán haciéndolo en el futuro.
Sé que la NPPR tendrá éxito.

Good luck.

I was thinking some of this:

http://scrapbooking.lovetoknow.com/Educa…

But I want to make a page for each and everyone of my friends. On each of their pages I’m just wondering what I should ask them to write on it…
E.g. their name, e-mail, phone, what they liked most about this year, what class they were in etc…

so basically my question is… please give me ideas to put in my end of year memories book because I’d like to make one instead of buy one.

p.s. give much ideas as u can! dis book is going to have lots n lots of pages!

I live in New Zealand, and I’m graduating from Intermediate school (year 8, grade so we have different holidays and schooling

How about if you put down memorable quotes from some of your friends, your in-jokes, things like that? These always give me a laugh because they are so random.
