Proper nounWest Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. West is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. West is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of east and is perpendicular to north and south. By convention, the left side of a map is west. To go west using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 270°. West is the direction opposite that of the Earth's rotation on its axis, and is therefore the general direction towards which the Sun sets. During the Cold War "the West" was often used to refer to the NATO camp as opposed to the Warsaw Pact and non-aligned nations. The expression survives, with an increasingly ambiguous meaning. Moving continuously west is following a circle of latitude, which, except in the case of the equator, is not a great circle. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License If your looking into moving out West how far in advance should you start looking for living arrangments? Q. My best friend and I are planning on moving out west for either this coming summer or the one after that. We are both ski instructors and are hoping to get jobs teaching skiing on the glaciers. We are both very accomplished skiiers so getting the job isn't our worry its where we will live. Also, do you think anyone would let 2 17 year old girls move in? Asked by marissa - Tue Aug 18 11:34:42 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. 17 is a little young. You will most likely need to secure a job before you get a place as most landlords will want to know what you will be doing. Also, Whistler is extremely expensive and places to live are brutally hard to find. Also remember that the Olympics are coming so that is going to change the dynamics. Just be careful to not assume that you will get a job because you can ski. Answered by Erryn B - Wed Aug 19 00:49:01 2009 What is the best/cheapest way to buy west end theatre tickets ? Q. Im looking to see a west end show in February in London. Can anyone advise about how to get good tickets at a sensible price eg Grease. Your help is appreciated. Asked by garynevillle - Mon Nov 10 17:56:59 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Most companies advertising cheap tickets are only selling the top price ones at inflated prices. Your best bet is to book via the box office where it looks as if you can get standing tickets for 15, or Grand Circle for 20. The other alternative is to wait until the day and get some from the half price ticket booth in Leicester Square.

Q. I am married to a man from West Africa (Burkino Faso) and we are trying to find out how to transfer his Bachelors Degree in Mathematics and Physics over to the United States. We need to find out if he needs to take any additional classes in the US in order to obtain the same degree here. We don't know where to start...Any info would be greatly appreciated. Asked by winter - Tue Jul 1 17:23:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Contact your local state university, as each university decides if a particular degree will be accepted by them. He may need to take a test, but the school will definitely need a copy of his transcripts as well as a description of each course he took. If he has any papers and/or tests from his college days, that would help. I can tell you from some experience that often a bachelors degree from a developing country translates into about an associates degree here in the US (but each case is different).
