I've also had the experience of overhearing people say things like widescreen DVDs cut off part of the picture.. That is just wrong. In fact, the opposite is true. For those of you who don't know, here's a crash course on the difference between widescreen and full screen. Movie screens are rectangular. TV screens are square. (Or at least most of them are; HDTVs are changing this rapidly.) When you transfer a rectangular image to a square TV set, it doesn't fit.
Foster care: Licensed foster care is made up of individuals or families who have requested to be able to take dependent children into their home. Foster homes are licensed and inspected regularly, and foster parents go through a rigorous interview process before being approved.
A foster child is a child who has been placed in the care and custody of the Administration for Children's Services, or an authorized child-care agency for either short-term or long-term care. This care is often with a foster family, who may be related to the child.he court may order that the child be placed in the care of an agency if it finds that the child has been abused or neglected or is at risk of such harm, or when a child's behavior is beyond the control of those responsible for his or her care.
