It's JareDov'sAn Atom 4 U(s)...
I offer to find information on the topic of your choice and can also recommend research techniques to help you gather information on your own.Eventually, I hope through the sharing of research and research techniques to empower the underemployed and those with little lobbying voice to affect social justice* in their hearts and communities. An excellent example of ongoing social justice efforts can be found at Stop kvetching!.
You may email me at
anatom4us@gmail.com
to inquire about "what is this thing or that?".
Note:
About the research I'll do or offer assistance to you:
- it will not intentionally invade other people's privacy; this is an informational reference service, not an investigation service.
- requests are to be peaceful in intent.

"An Atom 4 U(s)..." - - a few milestones in its development:
"An Atom for Us", "un atome pour nous" in French, "ein Atom fur uns" in German, "un atomo per noi" in Italian, "un atomo para nosotros" in Spanish, and "um atomo para nos" in Portuguese. As atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter and energy, so is research the cornerstone to thorough knowledge.
'U(s)' combines several word combinations into one (in this case - you, us, and U.S.(A)).
I first visited Garrett County, Maryland (formerly western Prince George's County) during the summer of 1975 after just graduating from elementary school. During my next visit to the Appalachian plateau on October 21, 1984, I was ticketed near Finzel (just west of the Garrett/Allegheny county border) for going 10 mph over the speed limit in a dash to Fallingwater in Ohiopyle, PA before they closed for the day. Six weeks later, my wife and I traveled to the Garrett County seat, Oakland, to pay the speeding ticket fine and request that points not be added to my driving record. We received great hospitality by a real estate agent and the Will O' the Wisp hotel on that December day.
Later that December, we packed our Greenbelt, MD apartment and relocated to Mountain Lake Park just east of Oakland. We soon met with the U.S. Small Business Administration in Washington, D.C., and they greenlighted our idea of the topographic map educational service concept limited to selected topics, had its first project literally brainstormed into clarity during a chartered flight in December 1984 from Garrett County Airport (2G4) off Bumble Bee Road in McHenry, Maryland to the College Park, Maryland Airport to visit Sima who was under the weather at our Greebelt, MD apartment.
During the nighttime flight, pilot Tom Glotfelty decided how I could compensate him for his 'deadhead' back to 2G4. We agreed on my contacting the Maryland State Department of Transportation in Baltimore to persuade them to provide 2G4 with Supplemental Aviation Weather Reporting Station (SAWRS) equipment and training, as they were reporting weather to requesting pilots from other pilot reports or surface temperature, humidity, and barometer.
Within a month 2G4 was equipped with a SAWRS complete with a much needed ceiling light/height measuring capability Mr. & Mrs. Glotfelty were trained by the State (see article at bottom of the 'Eyes Only Required' page). Today, 2G4 has an automated ASOS weather station whose automated voice-read observation can be heard by calling 1 (301) 746-8443.
I consider this logistical accomplishment a research project for the common good for which An Atom 4 U(s)... was developed.
Fourteen years later (in 1999), Atom 4 U(s)... was officially launched when an owner of a temporary employment agency in Tucson, Arizona asked me during an interview why I hadn't tried to do research on my own and offered me a little assignment which was to find a monthly newsletter by people who set-up call centers and technical information on setting them up. Several jiffys (less than a second) later, I located http://www.call-center.net and was paid for my effort.
Recent project completion (23.April.2003): Stop sign installed at southernmost 2nd Street exit of First United Bank & Trust in Oakland just for the asking (thanks to grounds and maintenance manager at the bank and Mayor McCain). Pedestrians on the way to and from the bank, library, and other sites can now feel more confident negotiating the intersection.

My nickname is JareDov. As I may have been born with Asperger's syndrome/disorder (a high-functioning type of autism; see www.isn.net/~jypsy), while I checked as a teenager I noticed "JareDov" would have appeared immediately before the word 'jargon' (shorthand that the experts use). A primary interest of mine since then has been to educate myself and others in removing barriers imposed by jargon we encounter and help break down useful concepts into manageable pieces. Let's live in harmonious concert and respect for ourselves and other life forms who cope with living on Earth. Let us teach and learn from other people and other species and responsibly enjoy our planet's resources. All the while, dig the life force inside you courtesy of your creator ("why in the world are we here? surely not to live in pain and fear" - john lennon, 1969). Patience trains my soul to accept the world can operate without me. It can be a natural anxiety reliever, and I get to work on other stuff in the meantime!
Here are my initial referrals to a couple of talented singers and songwriter who grew up on the Eastern Piedmont rolling suburbanscape of Prince George's County, Maryland between the Patuxent River and Rock Creek:
