A graveyard is any place set aside for long-term burial of the dead, with or without monuments such as headstones. It is usually located near and administered by a church.

Since the mid-1800s, the term cemetery has become a more popular label for most burying grounds.

is working in a call center on a graveyard shift really affects the memory?
Q. I've just realized that when I started working for a 5 days graveyard shift straight. Am I just confused or just having adjustments?

A. This could be happening for a few reasons. Here are two: 1) You just aren't getting enough sleep in general. Maybe with the new hours, you don't actually sleep as long as you did before. 2) You are still adjusting to the change from being up days to being up nights. That could definitely be discombobulating. Try to make a point to allow enough time in your daytime schedule for sleep - just as many hours as you always allowed at night. If you haven't "adjusted" in a few months, you might want to consider trying looking for a job working days. My neighbor switched from nights to days - she made more $$ working nights, but she feels her life has more quality since she started working days. Good luck!

Do you know any scary stories that take place in a graveyard?
Q. I'm going to sneak into a cemetery at night and share scary stories with my friend. I've collected more than 70 stories, and only one of them takes place in a graveyard! Do you know any stories that are especially suited to graveyards?

Do you think Gaza will be a graveyard for the Israeli soldiers?
Q. You entered like rats," Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan told Israeli soldiers in a statement on Hamas' Al Aqsa TV. "Gaza will be a graveyard for you, God willing," he said. i think it would more likely become a Hamas final resting place. The Hamas need to get the white flag out and beg for peace.

A. Hamas, hezbola and other such opportunistic organizations that exist by telling lies to their own people, like to make empty threats, attack at random remotely (using their neighbors as a shield) and attack using dupes with bombs strapped to their bodies. The have never had any success in open warfare where they must face their opposition. Allah must weep. Copiously. Gaza will be a graveyard for the victims of Hamas' vanity, breast-beating and duplicity. Nothing more nor less.
