Before anyone opens their respective mouths, yes, it's obvious where I stole the term from. However, the process of getting information from person to person is an important one, and the need for it is universal. You hear people using the term, "Arm yourself with knowledge" quite frequently in today's world, and thanks to the internet it's become easier to find information, but harder to find relevant information.

Of course, relevance is subjective. This site has been visited by thousands upon thousands of people, and if you were to ask them all what they thought was relevant to them, you'd get thousands upon thousands of answers.

Reltair, the admin, made it a bit easier. He divided the BBS into categories, from news to technology to personal issues; from animation to art to games and to literature, and so on. But of course that's never going to be enough, hence Main and Random. Things that don't matter go to Random. Things that do come here to Main.

But again, what matters depends on the person. However, I wouldn't call that a bad thing. I think it gives us all a chance to learn from one another. And that's what this thread is about.

I want to create a thread for information brokering in the sense that we're relaying topics that others can benefit from. For example, many of us are still in school (I'm at the post-secondary level but it still counts). Many of us drive or are learning to drive. Many of us are at the point or getting to the point where we make our own life decisions, medical decisions, and so on. And we have no idea what we're doing half the time.

When I entered college, I had no idea how student loans worked, no idea how medical bills worked, no idea about how a lot of things worked. I had to figure it out on my own, and it was hell. I don't want others to end up as frustrated as I was.

This thread is for process analysis. It is to provide those who come after us with the tips they need to navigate a changing world. If you have had a challenge in life and you know that your experiences can help another who may be facing the same situation, please share the steps you took to get out of that situation. Together, we can prepare.

Traffic Tickets

For starters, let me stress that I love driving. I have always loved driving and will always vouch for doing so when I'm with family or friends and we need to go somewhere. But what I wasn't prepared for was being pulled over and smacked with a $229 fine for "lane straddling."

Lane straddling is actually a pretty easy law to break, and California is one of the worst states for it to happen in. Basically, it goes like this: If you're too close to either side of a lane for more than 100 feet, you can be pulled over and fined. And that's what happened; I wasn't paying attention and veered too close to the line, and a police car watched me do it from behind, and then pulled me over.

The thing to remember about getting pulled over is that they will ask for three things: your driver's license, proof that you have auto insurance, and the registration for the car. Always have your driver's license with you. Always have your car's registration in a glove box or storage compartment where you can easily access it. If you have an insurance card, carry it with you, or put printed proof of insurance in your glove box with the registration so it's always there.

It you are cited, you generally get a copy at the time of the incident. You will generally also be mailed a more detailed notice later on. This notice contains information on how much you will have to pay, the due date for the fee, if you can minimize or contest the fee, and if you can attend traffic school.

Certain violations are considered "correctable." For example, if you are cited for something being wrong with your vehicle, you might be able to fix the problem, provide information to the court showing you fixed the problem, and then pay a reduced fee, or possibly get out of the ticket completely. For example, if your windows are improperly tinted, you can get that fixed. If you have a taillight out, you can get that fixed. If you driving with expired tags or expired insurance, you can get out of the ticket by proving that it was paid for and the new information had not yet been delivered to you. So when you get a ticket, first see if it's correctable.

If you contest a ticket, you have to set a new date for traffic court and go up against the officer who gave you the ticket. If the judge sides with you, you can get out of paying the ticket completely, or pay it at a reduced rate. If the judge sides with the officer, then you still have to pay in full, and extra fees may be added. Be careful when trying to contest a ticket.

If you cannot pay a ticket in full before the due date, then you can ask the court to put you on a payment plan. There is a small fee that is added to the ticket, but then you can make payments on a month-by-month basis.

Finally, traffic school is a very important option. It does cost money (it added $52 to my final bill) but if you can participate in it, you absolutely should. You see, when you get a ticket, sometimes it will add a point to your license. Points are bad; they increase the cost of your insurance. If you get too many points, your license is suspended or revoked altogether. By attending traffic school, you eliminate points on your license.

In the end, I pled no contest to the ticket, paid it in full, paid for traffic school, and now all that's left is to complete the program and submit the information to the court and the DMV. But I learned to always be aware of my position in a lane, so that I never get ticketed for something like that again.

Mail Forwarding

In September 2011 I started college. This meant moving to a new location, and that meant I would need to have my mail forwarded. So that's what I'd like to talk about with this entry, because there are important things to consider if you live in the United States.

First things first, you need to go to the post office and request a mail forwarding packet. Or, you can go online and fill out an online change of address form. The packet contains a form that you fill out, providing your current location contact info and the contact info for the location you plan to move to. I recommend getting this all done and turned into the post office two weeks prior to your move. Just make sure to put on your form the correct day of the move, so they know when to properly start forwarding your mail.

There are two types of mail forwarding: temporary and permanent. If you plan to be gone less than a year, choose temporary, and write down the day you plan to return to your original place of address. If you don't plan to return to that place of address, select permanent.

Finally, there is one very important thing to consider. If you change locations again, you MUST cancel the original mail forwarding before submitting the new one. I neglected to do this and for three months I have had trouble receiving my mail. Now I have to argue with the post office because things that should have come in have not. So learn from my mistake, and properly relocate your mail.

Medical Financial Assistance

While I was in college, I ended up in the hospital roughly four times. I was left with a few thousand dollars in medical bills. Naturally I freaked out, because at the time I had almost no income. Fortunately, hospitals have options for people who are in such situations, but you will need a few things to proceed.

For starters, you will need to go to your hospital's financial office and meet with a representative to see what assistance they offer. Sometimes they will take a percentage off your bill. Sometimes they will zero out your bill completely. It all depends on your financial situation.

These are some of the things they will ask for from you when you meet with a representative:
- Bank statements across all accounts from previous months.
- Income statements from previous months, or proof of unemployment if you have no job.
- Insurance Paperwork explaining the limits of coverage.
- Household information, such as number of residents and monthly expenditures.

Because I was a college student dorming and had not been working that long at the time, I was able to get my worst bills covered in full. Instead of paying out a few thousand dollars, I only paid out a few hundred. And that was much better. So if you're in a financial situation thanks to medical bills, it pays to meet with someone from your hospital, because they do want to work with you.

Creating a Resume

As you get older, you obtain more and more qualifications that are good measures of your performance as a potential employee. This is where a resume comes in. It lists all of your important job related skills and experiences in an easy-to read format. Here are some tips when writing one:

- A resume should be one page. If you truly have a lot of relevant information, try to limit it to two pages. If you have to, change the margins of the document to fit more on each line and shrink the document to one or two pages. Columns also work wonderfully to shrink a document.
- Fonts must be easy to read and professional looking. Stick to fonts such as Times New Roman, Tahoma, Calibri, Arial, etc. and keep the size between 10 and 12. Use italics, bold and underlines only where appropriate.
- Contact information goes at the top. Include your name, address, phone number, and a professional email address. If you have to, create an email address that is only for work. Avoid using an email address that could be construed as inappropriate or unprofessional.
- The first header is usually "Objective" or "Statement of Qualifications." It is a short summary that tells your potential employer what it is that makes you the perfect for the job, or why it is you want the job in the first place.
- The next header would be for your primary skills. For example, because I am proficient with computers, I have a header for "Technological Skills." In it I list the programs I am highly adept at using (MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD, ArcGIS) as well as tech based certifications I have (OPAC Keyboarding at 74WPM).
- After your skills header, list prior work. Start by listing the Job Title and the place of Employment. Under it, create a bulleted list that identifies the types of activities you did on the job. Three to four bullets is fine.
- Next, list your prior education. List your high school, then a bulleted list of two or three achievements while you were there. List your college and major, and then two or three related achievements there. Finally, list any trade schools you may have gone to and related studies and achievements. You may make an additional heading for achievements if there's more than fit and place it below the education header.
- Finally, create a header for References. List one to three professional references (teachers, past employers, volunteer events leaders, etc.) and their contact information. With that, you have your resume.

You will notice that much of what's listed on a resume must also be put on a job application. DO NOT THINK THIS MEANS A RESUME IS NOT NECESSARY. Putting it on both is important because an employer will look for the information on both documents. Better safe than sorry. What I would do, and what I have done, is created a digital application and copied information from my resume to it so I can print off a "job packet" at a moment's notice.

If you need further information, I suggest Googling sample resumes, or modifying a template if you have Microsoft Word. Hopefully this helps you guys out.

NOTE: The previous information applies to most jobs. However, state and federal agencies require an electronic resume if you want to work for them. The creation of an electronic resume is very different. Be sure to search the internet for more information on the creation of electronic resumes.

Ibuprofen vs. Acetaminophen

Ibuprofen is a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, or NSAID. It's primary use is pain relief and fever reduction. Ibuprofen is used in Motrin, Nurofen, Advil, Nuprin, and other related medications. Under normal circumstances, the maximum daily dosage is 1200 milligrams, or 400 milligrams every eight hours. A doctor will prescribe you more (up to 800 milligrams) for severe pain or fever. Extended use can increase your chances of heart attack and high blood pressure. Common symptoms of overdose include stomach and kidney problems. Medical attention is necessary at this point.

Acetaminophen, also known as Paracetamol, is another common pain reliever and fever reducer. It is not classified as an NSAID because it has fewer anti-inflammatory effects. It is commonly found in a variety of medications. The maximum dose is 4000 milligrams per day, or 1000 milligrams every six hours. Overdoses on this medication are far more severe than overdoses on ibuprofen. It will cause catastrophic liver failure as well as kidney problems. Immediate emergency care is necessary upon signs of an overdose.

Both of these medications pose the risk of allergic reaction. Always talk to your doctor before administering large quantities of pain medication. It's something a lot of people take for granted, especially teenagers. I know teenagers who will treat themselves with twice the recommended dose of a drug. This is dangerous over an extended period of time. Please be smart and know what you're putting in your body.

Thermite

Thermite is by far my favorite chemical. It is legal in the United States, but it is something one should handle with care. When lit, it will burn at temperatures in the thousands of degrees Celsius. It is made from Iron Oxides and finely grained Aluminum. The most common mixture is:

1 Part Iron (II) Oxide + 2 Parts Aluminum >> 2 Parts Aluminum Oxide + 849,000 Joules of Heat

Which is what we will focus on. However, because Iron (II) Oxide is several times heavier than pure Aluminum, the amount of Aluminum you need is just a third of the amount of Iron (II) Oxide you need.

You cannot get Thermite pre-mixed. You must buy Iron (II) Oxide powder and Aluminum powder separately. The cost depends on the amount of Thermite you wish to make. For example, I purchased 5lbs of Iron (II) Oxide and 2lbs Aluminum for a total of $40.

Regardless of the size, the ratio is this: 159.69 grams of Iron (II) Oxide to 53.964 grams Aluminum. You will need to do a bit of math to convert to pounds and ounces, but over all you should be able to get a proper mixture. When you mix the Thermite, be sure to shake it thoroughly to get it properly balanced.

The nice thing about Thermite is that it will not react unless subjected to temperatures of 800 degrees Celsius. For that, you will need Magnesium ribbon. You can usually buy 50 feet of it for about $10. Light a match and the ribbon will catch fire, burning hot enough to ignite the Thermite. The Thermite then burns at several thousand degrees Celsius, melting through anything it touches.

Use it with extreme caution.

Ammonia and Bleach

Never put bleach in a toilet. It can kill you.

I'm being 100% serious here. People have mistakenly put bleach and bleach-containing products in their toilets when cleaning them and gotten sick. People have ended up in the hospital and others have indeed died from this error. Here's why:

Chlorine is a very special chemical. If it's in a compound (as it is with household bleach or table salt) then it's relatively harmless. But by reacting it with ammonia, the Chlorine gets unmixed and becomes a pure gas. That gas will destroy your lungs if you breathe it in. You'll start coughing erratically, and you may vomit as your body tries to get rid of the gas. Too much and you'll simply choke to death, almost instantly.

So be smart, and never do this. Ever.

(Hopefully we'll find a way to categorize all this later, or just make a list like in the countries threads)

I've come to ask about opening a bank account. I don't have a clue how, if it costs money, how to access it, how to deposit.
I'm entirely clueless.

Banking

There are two types of accounts: Checking Accounts and Savings Accounts. Checking accounts can be opened up without a minimum balance. There are some forms you will need to sign, you may need an ID, and you may need a cosigner (a parent if you are under 18). It all depends on the bank. When you open one, you are given a debit card which can be used to make purchases and withdraw money from ATMs. You will use your account number to make deposits and withdraws from an actual banker.

Savings accounts are a bit different. They require a minimum balance (sometimes over $100), and you can't always withdraw from ATMs. Nor will you be given a debit card for a savings account. Again, you may need a cosigner.

Thank you so much! This thread's pretty cool. ^^ Should I start calling you Izaya-san?

I rather you didn't. Just call me MK, MKOLLER, Maddy, or Human Knot Girl.

Wow this is cool I've been looking for a easy to understand guide to resume making, thanks!

cool weve needed some thing like this for the site.Its like you ARE an Izaya for the site this is gonna be great so will you post on stuff people ask about?

It's Information Brokeing*

It's Information Brokeing*

actually, in my town, i am an information broker. I've even solved a few police cases.

bokering XD nd i think this could B a good idea~

>>15 I'm gunna guess that this is open for ANYBODY to provide answers to other people's questions - MKOLLER just consolidated all questions to one thread for us because she's lovely

>>10>>11 I want to add on to this, just because it could be fleshed out a little more:

To open a bank account (of either type, checking or savings) you will need to physically enter the bank and ask the main desk (not the bank tellers, they will likely just point you to the main desk ;P) to open a new account. They will get someone to sit down with you to work through all of the paperwork. Things you will need are: ID, Social Security # (sometimes, this may not always be necessary), and a really lame explanation as to why you're opening an account with their bank. If you're not yet 18 years old, you will need a parent/legal guardian.

Now, some notes about the checking account:
- Your Debit Card will be mailed to you. 2-weeks ish.
- Your Debit Card functions like a credit card.
- Your Debit Card is NOT unlimited. It is directly tied to the amount of money in your checking account. If you run out of money, but use your card anyway, you can start getting into some deep shit and/or damage your financial record.

As a side note: I like CASE Credit Union. They don't charge me for stupid things, and my card came as a Visa which is accepted pretty much everywhere ever. I've never had an issue with them, and I've had accounts there for about 13 years.

>>18 How do you become an information broker? Do you have to go to college for it or just know a helluva lot of people?

>>21 Real Information Brokers often have a Master's or Doctorate in some sort of Library Science, or a degree reflecting their particular specialty, such as social sciences or law.

bump

>>20 Thanks for adding that info. To be honest, I've had my accounts for a while, so I'd forgotten a few of the steps.

>>16, >>17 - Brokeing is not a real word.

>>22 Good for you, not the thread's intent, but if you want to educate others on your field go right ahead. I'm sure there are a few people here who would want to follow in your footsteps.

>>24

xD

I'm not an information broker, I'm just well informed. The question was directed at someone else.

>>24 >>25

I understand the confusion now... I hadn't noticed >>18 used the name 'K'.

>>18 wasn't me. Sorry for the confusion.

>>25 I see. Then it's my mistake.

>>18 I wish I could solve cases too, but I want to be a Lawyer or a prosocutor... >.<

I'll provide relevant information for medical questions when I'm around. Good idea MK.

>>30 That would help a lot, because my medical knowledge is rather limited.

I'm a huge nerd, and know a ridiculous number of typically useless facts. I'll answer any questions I can. Also, >>33 is a Table of Contents that can be reposted and changed as the thread is added to.

First apartment

Some time ago (I don't remember when. a couple years ago maybe) I had an apartment with two roommates. It was a nightmare. It was also mostly my own naiveté that caused it. Here are some things to help you not screw up your first apartment experience.

Sympathy is not a good reason in choosing roommates.
I moved in with these people partially because they were in a tough situation with their current apartment and they were my friends. On a side note... Don't move in with good friends. I only have anecdotal evidence for how this blows up in your face. I can't say it's true across the board but it's usually not pretty and has ruined friendships. As for choosing roommates based on sympathy. Consider this: could helping them possibly hurt you? Could they be where they are because they screwed up (and probably will again)? Are they manipulating your emotions?

Don't ever move in with a couple. Ever.
Pop quiz: couples do the majority of their fighting where? No matter how chill they seem you will probably hear them fighting. I was stupid enough to choose a couple that fought enough in public. I did not think they were capable of such dysfunctional insanity though. Also, there is a good chance you will hear them having sex, which can be unsettling.

Get a damn job!
Is what I should have told them. The guy was actually looking for a job and I expected him to get one soon. After all it was easy for me. I didn't know that I got damn lucky. I also didn't know about the theft on his record. Which makes it hard to get a job anywhere that involves money or even electronic transactions. The girl got a small monthly check from her deadbeat mother for child support (I don't know how, she was 19). She applied at a store that had a lot of openings. I asked her about it a couple days later. Her response: "I don't really want to get a job right now." I guess being a deadbeat runs in the family. Point is if you ever hear: "I will have a job soon" say "good. As soon as you get it I will consider getting an apartment with you."

Have laundry figured out.
This is the most important thing when planning. Trust me. Plan and schedule how you are going to do laundry.

No animals means no animals.
Even if they are allowed I caution you against it. You think that litterbug stinks in a house? You have no clue. She had a cat. It wasn't allowed. I like cats. I wanted to kill this cat.

Stand up / put your foot down
Last one. Stand up! Mommy and daddy can't protect you now. If you have an issue, say so. Don't ever let anybody walk all over you even for a second. Make them respect your property and (disposable) income.

Its easy to say how stupid i was and you may think you would never make these mistakes, but it's not hard. I ended up breaking my lease and losing my entire deposit and screwing my life up for awhile. I lasted a month there. So did this post. Sorry about that, but this was the short version.

>>35 bump

But also, without immense, immature, hateful comments, could someone tell me what a hispter is? Like the style of clothing, the art, the lifestyle, the music they listen to, etc.

Hipsters:

A hipster in definition is someone who follows all of the latest trends. They're basically what you imagine as hip, or with the times. There is no black and white way to define a hipster. These people are constantly changing. To stay “in” they'll change. Hipsters follow the main trends.

Over time it seems the term hipster has lost its meaning. Right now you could say it's someone who avoids the mainstream things, like listening to music that isn't yet popular. Once something becomes popular they would find something else.

>>39 & >>40 Wait a minute, those were two opposite definitions. >_<
And from what i saw or read online, they seemed more...bohemian.

>>41 Because the definition HAS become opposite of what it once was.

Today, Hipsters are kinda anti-pop-culture. They are against the mainstream, like >>40 said, and prefer 'underground' culture.

By the time we like something (as a society) they already liked it, and moved on from.

To learn how the Internet defines hipsters, try Google imaging 'Hipster Meme' or 'Hipster Cat Meme'.

Ah I see... Thanx

Blood Types

There are eight common blood types determined by the antigens found in your bloodstream. These three antigens are A, B, and D. D is more widely known as Rh, and is represented by the + (positive) or - (negative) in your blood type.

The eight resulting blood types are a result of every possible combination of these three primary antigens. Your blood type is simply represented by the letters of your type (A, B, or both), neither (O), and the presence of D (positive or negative). The types are:

A+
A-
B+
B-
AB+
AB-
O+
O-

It's important to understand this and to know your blood type because in virtually every major or emergency medical procedure, amounts of blood, often large amounts of blood, are needed, and most often this blood has to come from other people. (The exception being a procedure known well in advance, in which your own blood can be slowly collected, and allowed to replenish itself, so you have an additional store of your own blood available)

The general rule for blood donation/use is that your body will not accept any antigens that you do not already have naturally. Therefor, someone who is AB+ who has all three primary antigens (A, B, and D/Rh) can accept any type of blood. O-, on the other hand, can accept only O- blood, which lacks all three primary antigens. Conversely, however, as inconvenient it would be to have O- as a recipient, people with O- are universal donors. Those with AB+ who can receive any blood, have blood that is almost entirely useless, medically.

For clarity, A cannot receive blood from AB or B, B cannot receive blood for AB or A, and on top of that, - cannot receive blood from +.

Almost half of all people have O blood type, and nearly as many have A. B is considerably less and AB is very very rare. Negative blood types are rarest of all, with their individual likelihoods being tiny percentages, generally in proportion to their ABO types.

There are a number of Organizations that collect blood for medical uses, the most well known and likely most trustworthy (in the United States) being the American Red Cross. These agencies are always in need of blood, so donations are extremely beneficial to the wellness of people everywhere.

I would like to request some help on a paper.
Specifically the info links or detailed summaries from which I can quote.

The paper is over flint-knapping and how it affects the advancement of the human species. If anyone has any knowledge on this first had I would appreciate it very much if we could chat via email or some other medium.

-Thanks for the help!

>>11 Banks are a biiiiiiiiitch! I'll provide my own insight in to banks including a few problems I had when I first opened my account. I swear. If you don't do this right you'll want to claw your eyes out.

Setting up a new bank account. Part 1

Location, Location, Location
I cannot stress this enough. The first thing that you want to do is make sure this bank will be close to where you live. If you do not have your own transportation, then make sure you can walk to it.A bank will charge $2 for every time you use a different ATM to pull out money. A bank will charge $5 every time you pull money out from a store. This may not seem like a lot, but it adds up. Yes, different banks do have different policies and different amounts. You can have a different number if you have a different type of account. This does not change the fact that it adds up.

Let me give you an example. Let's say that you need to pull $100 a week. You don't want to pull more money than that because keeping to much money on your is dangerous. There are 52 weeks in a year. If you pull from another ATM, that's $104 out the window before you even notice. Let's say that there is no ATM nearby, so you pull from a store each time. That would be $260 just gone. How are you supposed to explain why you lost so much money?

Okay, so even keeping $100 on you is dangerous in some place. Let's say that you pull $50 twice a week instead. You know you'll use it immediately, so there's no worries about getting robbed. The numbers I gave you earlier have just doubled. How are you going to explain the loss of $208-$520 being wasted a year?

Setting up a new bank account. Part 2

Do your research!
You do NOT know how important this is. Banks will take money from you for ANYTHING you want the best bank possible to avoid this. This does not mean that you want to use a well known bank that EVERYONE has, though. You want the best possible bank that can give you the best possible customer service as well as any deals you can get.

Just because there is only one bank that you can reach does not mean that you should gt it without a second thought. What if that bank had some kind of end of the month deal that you didn't know about? You'll be surprised how much money this saves. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen a friend get ripped off because they were required to pull money a certain number of times a week. If they did not do so, then the bank would deduct money out of your account each week you don't do that. Some banks will pull money each month that you do not have a certain amount of money in your account. They are greedy bastards that will find any reason they can to take your money.

Another reason why you should do your research is because there may be a bank that isn't within your location that can give you the deals you are looking for. There are some banks that give you a deal for being a college student, over a certain age, or opening a joint account. This is brilliant. These special offers include stuff like no money being deducted from pulling from another ATM or store, no money being deducted for not making a certain amount of transactions each week, no money being deducted for not having a certain amount of money in your account, or even free checks or debit card. Imagine all of the money you can save! On top of this, if you get the right deals location is no longer a top priority.

>>54 I need you to clarify this statement: "A bank will charge $5 every time you pull money out from a store." I've never heard of that happening. I've used my debit card to make withdrawls up to $100 from a store and only received a $0.47 charge from it.

>>56

It really differs from each bank.

>>55 has a terrible bank...

Of course, mine let someone walk in and make a withdrawal from my account, so I guess it could be worse... >.>

>>58 But.. they would need a card and ID, right? Or maybe just your card number?

>>59 Usually they need the Account number if you're to make a withdraw or deposit. Occasionally you can get by using the Debit Card number. I think I've only ever been asked once for an ID when I've made a banking transaction.

That said, there isn't much stopping you from using someone else's account. I use my family's accounts all the time when I run errands for them (my family all know each others' Pin numbers, for instance). I've also made withdraws and deposits on my mother's behalf.

Unlawful search and seizure: know your rights

5 years ago when I was 16 my fourth amendment rights were violated. Unfortunately, I was unaware at the time. I was walking down the street to my local dollar store listening to my mp3 player (kalifornia: fatboy slim). I was also wearing my girlfriends Marilyn Manson hoodie. As I enter the parking lot I look up from the pavement. I was staring down th barrels of several shotguns and pistols. I pop my earbud out and i am ordered to put my hands on my head. After the search I ask, "If you don't mind my asking officer, what the hell was that about?" he told me they had received an anonymous tip that a man with my description was carrying a gun. I said ok and moved on.

Three years later I was reading a text book on American government. I came across a supreme court case called JL Vs. Florida. What happened to him was exactly what happened to me. The difference? He had a gun and won the case. At that point I couldn't prove anything and had no hope of winning a legal battle, so I moved on. Anonymous tip =/= probable cause. Don't let this happen to you. Comply with the police of course (don't get shot). Afterwards get everything (names, witnesses etc.) to take them down.

READ THIS: link to JL case (it's short) http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0529_0266_ZS.html

>>66 Unfortunately, I have no experience regarding credit cards. I do advise against them though. A credit card is borrowed money. When you make payments at the end of the month, you pay for the amount you used, plus 8-21% interest. Rarely do you "need" a credit card; if an unexpected expense comes up, you can always ask for payments to be pushed back, or in the worst case scenario, secure a bank loan with collateral.

>>68 Thanks for the advice. I love what you set up here, It will come to be very helpful in the future. Thanks.

>>69 We do what we can. Anywho, with debit cards replacing both cash and check in 99% of places, credit cards aren't as necessary. Not to mention some banks will allow for "overdraft protection," where you can make purchases even with money not in your bank account, so long as you put more money in your account to cover the difference by a certain timeframe.

I have a bit of experience with credit cards and for the most part there are a lot of draw backs. But it is how you use it that allows for opportunities. As this is for information brokering please take what I say with a grain of salt. For instance, with any type of borrowed money you want to weigh your risk to reward. Yes life is full of risks. But they need to be taken to experience life. You borrow money for school with the intent that the payout exceeds the borrowed money and accumulated interest. What you are essentially buying with borrowed money is time. You borrow the money from the future for larger purchases, assets (things that put money back into your wallet) i.e. schooling, mortgage, car. And if you use the purchase to buy assets you make the money back, it depends how creative you can be with money. if you buy a car and rent it out to a pizza delivery (assuming they also take liability for damages/ wear and tear) the pizza delivery company essentially pays for the car and if you are nice ask for the monthly payment and profit. yes even if the profit is 15 dollars a month they are still paying for your car. What happens after the car is still payed and they still use your car, your profit increase. What if you charge to put advertisements on the car too? additional streams of passive income. There are a lot of things you can do with borrowed money, once i figured out this possibility in high school I asked a relative for 100 dollars, I wasnt going to use my part time high school job for it (librarian if you must know) to take a 3 day seminar this was almost 8 years ago. I have payed him back with interest for putting faith in me. If you want to know more please let me know. I have taken courses, seminars, intensive and other nontraditional education and though it is a very limited field this is what I have chosen to learn. If there is anything I do not know I go out and try to learn it, as you are doing now. I am very proud to know all of you.

Ive got a question, are there any active sites were people can sound board ideas? Not for writing, but more like ideas for using technologies in different ways to help people. Where people can bring in the knowledge they have to figure out a way to make it work? Like a place to share ideas whose primary focus is to help make life better for everyone?

MIRANDA RIGHTS WARNING (United States)

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish.

If you decide to answer any questions now, without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.

Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?


If you find yourself in a bad situation, it is a good idea to know your rights. The police are required by law to read these rights to you upon arrest (the laws differ per state), however being aware of these rights ahead of time can give you an advantage, also I would recommend putting a lawyer's business card in your wallet.
Even the most upright law-abiding citizens can run into legal trouble unexpectedly. I am not saying don't cooperate with the police but don't let them intimidate you and remember your rights.

I'll have a response to Relationships in a moment. It will clearly be contriversial, because everyone has different views.

I'll just post what I've found so far.

Right now, I have a Spread for Yearbook to finish.

Relationships
(CLEARLY up for discussion)
((I'll provide a TL;DR at the end for those too lazy to read a wall of text))

Granted, this isn't an easy topic, because so many variables effect everything about a relationship, but I'll hit a few things that seem easy to understand, and rather basic. ((Mind you, basic does not mean EASY!! Some of this stuff I struggle with everyday!))

Ok, I'll start with this:
If you WANT to be in a relationship for the soul purpose of being in a relationship, then DON'T get in a relationship! If a relationship /starts/ selfishly, it will most likely /end/ selfishly. Now I suck at this, because I'm a manipulative little bitch. I somehow make my selflessness benefit me, so in the end, what I'm doing is entirely selfish.
There isn't really any clear cut way to be in a relationship selflessly, so it's really something you need to ponder yourself, but the main point is to always be thinking of your partner (to be politically correct.) If you're not in the relationship for the OTHER person, and you're not doing everything for /them/, then it will most likely be difficult to understand them fully.
This is especially obvious when in an argument.
((Remember! It is always more mature to take the blame EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG!! Blame shifting ALWAYS looks immature, even if it is true!))
Now I did type this in like, 10 minutes in Study Hall, so I could be wrong at some points, and will gladly write an edited edition in the future.
In the meantime, Next topic!

Love. OH LOVE IS SO DANGEROUS!! (to quote a terrible song!)
Love is a really odd thing. Society understands it as a feeling, and as we all know, we grew as products of our environment. Therefore, we believe Love to be a feeling. If you lose feelings toward someone, then you must not love them, right?

Ok, here's a scenario. Your parents are arguing, and they are furious at each other. They clearly have feelings of irritation and anger towards one another. How can you have a feeling of love in that sort of situation?
If this is confusing, I'll compare love to 'like'. Society considers Love to be a much more serious type of 'like'. So when a couple is arguing, they clearly don't like each other at that moment.

So if love is a feeling -- and feelings are fleeting -- then there is no way so many married couples are ACTUALLY in love. How would that make any sense. Nobody likes people that much. It seems highly unlikely that love is anything like 'like'. It seems more likely that love is a sense of being, or relationship in itself.

Love seems to be more of a verb, rather than an adjective. It seems like something someone DOES rather than FEELS. If you're arguing with someone, what is the loving thing to do? Sometimes it's loving to except defeat.

I know there are going to be conflicting opinions in the end, because EVERYONE knows that societies perception of love is broken, or else nobody would be trying to understand it.
AmIRight? OrAmIRight? XD

So yeah, that's my two cents.

TL;DR EDITION!!
-Don't start a relationship JUST to start one
-Don't date selfishly, it has to be completely selfless
-Love is a verb, not an adjective
-Society fucked up our perception of love

Can anyone explain how to jumpstart a car?

I can kind of explain it. But first, a MAJOR guideline:

Never, EVER, cross the wires on a car battery. Red ALWAYS goes to red. Black ALWAYS goes to black. Reversing polarity can lead to a car fire, or if it's a weak battery, the battery will explode. Battery acid could be splattered everywhere, leading to skin or eye burns. So, that's the first thing. (In some cases, they won't be colored; assume + and red are interchangeable, and - and black are interchangeable).

Now the way a car battery is supposed to work is it has a preset charge to it (roughly 12.4 or 12.6 volts depending on the size of the car and layout of the battery). When you turn your ignition, it sends an electrical signal to start the combustion process. The combustion process is what keeps your car powered, and the battery only kicks in as a reserve. However, when the charge is too low (below 11.8 volts or less), you don't have enough charge. Therefore, you need either a second car with jumper cables, or a battery recharger/jumpstarter.

Between two cars:
1) Make sure both cars are off. Connect the red and black connectors to the feeds on the good battery (they are shaped like hexagons; DO NOT TOUCH THEM DIRECTLY; connect red first; take it off last). With the dead car, connect the red to the red connector on the dead battery, and the black to a metal part of the car. This is to provide grounding for the car itself.

2) Turn on the car that's to provide the charge. Let it idle, occasionally revving slightly for 5-10 minutes. This provides a charge to the dead battery. Then shut off that engine.

3) Remove the black cable from its connector on the car used for the jump. Then do the same with the red. Then the black on the dead car, and then its red.

4) Attempt to turn on the car that was originally "dead." Rinse and repeat until you get a good enough charge. When the car finally does start, rev the engine a bit to get the charging system running.

If using a recharger/electronic jumpstarter, it will have its own instructions.

It is quite easy to jumpstart a car. Just make sure you have jumper cables and hook positive to positive to and negative to negative. I don't think you need to have any car off, and keep it hooked up while trying to start the other car. Rev the engine on the good car to help speed up the process. Some of the juice will be taken from the car that isn't dead and start the other. After the dead car is running then disconnect the wires, since the alternator should be charging the dead cars battery on its own.

Also I don't think it matters what wire you hook up first, since i had it spark no matter what I did.

But depending on the battery it might not be able to be jumped, in that case you could go to a parts store and have them check your battery if you think it should still be good. Though I had to replace mine since it wouldn't jump or kickstart.

Ha I was just about to look for this board too. Oh Dollars-BBs you never fail me XD

Please update the Directory!

Bump.

I love this thread. Period.

>>93 has stated the way to jump start a car that is most likely to kill you. You DO NOT, connect negative to negative. It's negative to GROUND. Ground meaning any clean, unpainted metal in the engine block, typically.

Connecting NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE can cause a critical failure in the battery and may result in an EXPLOSION.

All of the other steps and precautions listed by MKOLLER in >>92 further decrease the odds of damage, injury, or death.

You guys might have hear what happened recently.
I'd like to know more about death crime statistics; guns and knifing homicides statistics on an international scale. I'd like to see a comparison with the major nations of the world.
If you would also compare the requirements one needs to meet in order to purchase a firearm.

>>100 As the thread owner, I request that topic not be discussed in this thread. For starters, it is too broad for any of us to objectively cover. Second, it will lead to arguments among the forumers. Discuss it in News, Personal, or on a dedicated thread in Main.

Ok so this is my first time in high school and i have finals week coming up can anyone give me some advice about... well anything really I'm sort of freaking out!

>>102 Just don't sweat it man. Finals everywhere are usually easier than they're made out to be. Study is a definite thing. Don't cram the night before, it doesn't work. Slowly study over a long period of time. Figure out what you need to work on, and make sure you get it done. Even if you don't have a final the next day, look over the contents of that subject some everyday, it pays off. Weakest subject should obviously be the priority.
And of course get sleep and eat healthy. You DON'T want to be tired during any type of test.

>>100 Or you know...you could Google it.

Can anyone give me an advice about saving money without banking @_@

>>103 Thanks!
>>105 Before I had a bank what i did was got a regular piggy bank and glued the part that covers the hole to get the money out in place that way I couldn't get money out without breaking the bank it worked for me,but there's probably better ways save money.

>>105 Don't spend it.

>>105
Personally I use the Jar Method.
"
Here's how it works. Divide your money between 6 jars and label the jars as follows:

Financial freedom account (FFA): This jar if for your financial freedom. Each month put 10% of your income in this jar. Money you put in this jar can be used to invest, start a business, create a passive income streams etc.
Necessities (NEC): Put 55% of your income in this jar for your necessities. It's for things like paying bills, food, necessary clothing etc.
Long term saving for spending (LTSS): Put 10% in this jar. You may have more than one LTSS jar. It's for things like a plasma TV, your family vacation, contingency fund, your children's education etc. If you have more than one LTSS, divide the 10% between the jars according to your priority.
Education (EDU): 10% that goes in this jar if for your own education. It could be used to attend seminars, buy books etc. Basically, it's for your continual education and learning.
Play: Allocate 10% of your income for you to have fun guilt-free. Use it to go to a fancy restaurant you've been eyeing, or a massage at a spa. Just do something fun. Let your inner child play.
Giving (GIV): Allocate 5% of your income to give to charity. If you want to allocate 10% for giving, take 5% off your NEC jar.
"
from http://goldiemaz.hubpages.com/hub/Money-Management-101---The-Jar-System
It is scalable and has many good points to it.

>>104 No shit sherlock. I just thought it'd be quicker to ask. But apparantly not.

>>101 I understand, but no thanks.

Hello everyone, this thread has been very useful to me and I was wondering if anyone knew about getting a book published or has had experience with it. I am writing a book and am almost finished with it. If anyone has information about this it would be appreciated.

Being Pulled Over By A Cop:

This has happened a few times to me so I thought I'd just share some things I've learned.

When a police car pulls up behind you with it's lights on, it's pulling you over.
1)Slowly pull your car over to the side of the road, or if it's a narrow road, turn on your hazard lights to let the cop know you're pulling over, and turn into a side street.
2)Turn off your car.
3)Get out your driver's license, your car's registration and proof of insurance. Have these ready and wait for the officer to approach your car.
4)Answer the cop's questions, be polite, but don't offer any unnecessary information. When answering the cop's questions, "Yes, sir" or "No, sir." is enough. Don't ever lie.
5)If the cop gives you a ticket, you can either pay it by card, send in a check or money order, or appeal it in court. It's easiest to simply pay the ticket fee than appealing the stop in court. If you truly didn't do something and the cop says you did, courts are going to take the cops side. Sometimes it's not worth the trouble. On the other hand, some cops don't bother showing up for court for traffic stops. This could win you the case by default, but it's a gamble.
6)After the stop, simply drive away and don't repeat whatever it is you did to get pulled over in the first place.

>>144 this is going to be long...

The first step in publishing any work of nonfiction is to write a book proposal. (Note: this does not apply to fiction. For fiction, the opposite applies: if you want to publish a novel, you must sit down and write the it first. A book proposal has a standard format that every agent and publisher expects to see executed without any surprising flourishes. You win no points for creativity in how you structure this document. Learn the format and follow it (I suggest googling this part). Needless to say, there are books about how to write a nonfiction book proposal.

The next step is to get an agent. This could be easy, or next to impossible, depending on who you are and the nature of your project—but you must do it in any case. To my knowledge, no mainstream press will look at an unagented proposal. If you want to write an academic book for MIT Press—or Princeton, Oxford, etc.,—you don’t need an agent and can approach these publishers directly. (You will, however, need the relevant academic credentials.)
Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of luck involved in finding an agent. Do you happen to have a friend who already has one? (Call that friend.) The process generally entails sending a query letter and then a proposal to one agent after another until you find one who is willing to represent you. Some agents can afford to be very selective and will not consider taking on a first time author, unless you happen to be already famous. But less established agents will often take the trouble to discover new talent. Remember that you don’t need to find the perfect agent, you just need one who is enthusiastic about your project and eager to earn his or her 15% by selling it to a mainstream press.

Once you have an agent, you will plow some of his or her publishing wisdom into subsequent drafts of your book proposal. Even if these revisions do nothing but improve your proposal from your agent’s point of view, they are important. Remember, your agent is the one who has to sell this book, at least initially. The first conversations that will be had about your proposal will be between your agent and various editors. You will not be involved. So, while you shouldn’t accept any changes that embarrass you, your goal should be to arrive at a draft that your agent is enthusiastic about, understands, and is happy to sell. If you and your agent fundamentally disagree about the direction your book should take, it will be very difficult for him or her to competently represent it.
Once you have a final draft of your proposal in hand, your agent will send it to every publisher he or she thinks might be interested in publishing your book. In the best case, many will be interested, and you will have a proper auction on your hands—at the end of which, you will be forced to choose between multiple offers, any one of which will allow you to live without a care in the world for a year or two while you write your book. However, given that this is your first book, this is unlikely to happen.Hopefully, at least one good publisher will make an offer on your book. If you do not get an offer at this stage, however, I do not know what you should do, beyond asking your agent what you should do. Self-publishing is, increasingly, a viable option for any author—and some authors will now tell you to go this route directly, without ever worrying about finding an agent or a mainstream publisher. While there are certain cases in which it might make economic sense to do this, for a first book, a mainstream publisher will give you credibility (whether warranted or not) that you will not get if you publish your book yourself.

The last step is to accept your best offer, and by best i mean the one that includes the largest advance.If you only received one offer, this one is obviously your best, and you should take it.

I hope this helped :)

Bump!

Another charge in banking (one that is not well known), is that once you use all the money saved in your bank account, the bank will loan you 200$ or so dollars. Note: This is a loan, they expect you to pay it back with interest if you intend to use their services ever again. So, be sure you do not exceed what is in your bank, and keep constant tabs of how much of your debit you are spending.

if you dont want to do this, you could ask for a wine port from the porting team: http://portingteam.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1
there isnt one now, you can probably just ask on the forums there.

so not sure if this too too helpful but decided i would throw this out there.

Sam's Club:

In the U.S (and maybe other countries not sure) there is a store named Sam's Club. it is the same corporation as Walmart but run in a separate manner. anyways if you ever shop there be wary at the checkout counters for they will be advertising 1 and/or 2 things and its a little tricky how they are worded. the 1st would be "the instant savings program" which in other words is the Plus membership. when they advertise it to you they will not mention the word plus or membership at all unless asked (I work at sams and they trained us and threaten to fire us if not said correctly) but will say its only X amount of dollars for all these benefits. what they purposely leave out (as instructed by higher ups) is that when you renew your membership it will be an extra $60. with the membership already being $40 it now becomes $100. Now heres a trick I've kinda learned. before getting the instant savings program if you really do want it, check the sheet for what coupons you do get and also read the fine print below it. most items can only be saved on once for the rest of your yearly membership. if you do decide to get the "instant savings program" (plus membership) you can always go to the membership service desk and cancel it early before your membership is due for renewal and get a partial to full refund based on how long you had it and how many times you used it. also if you do keep it until the end of your membership you can always tell them you don't want to be a plus member anymore and just go with the regular membership but you HAVE to tell them that or they will auto sign you back up for the plus. the second thing they sell you at the cash registers is their credit cards. the main credit card Sams sells will be able to only be used at Sam's club and Walmart. it has about a 14% interest rate on it normally. now they will lure you in mainly with "would you like to save $20 off this purchase today?" they would then explain its good sides (which since the company doesn't even tell the cashiers any of the interest rates or negative sides about it at all, most of the cashiers are clueless as to what they are actually doing). the good sides being as follows: they have no annual fees, no interest (if paid off in full by the end of the month in which a balance was incurred),on the same card as your membership card, and zero fraudability since it has your picture on the card (but in reality the picture is so bad it is hard to even make out the person in the picture and the cashiers hardly check anyways). In a way it works kinda like AMEX but riskier in my opinion.
also don't blame the cashiers for doing this either, if they don't sell or attempt to sell these things they lose their job no questions asked.

again i'm not sure if this is helpful to anyone or if it even belongs here but thought id put this info out there.

Does anyone have advice on this, I'm planning to go to UC Davis for a Computer Science and Engineering major, does anyone in the industry have advice whether
1) I should do just computer sci. or just comp. engineer?
2) Berkley would be significantly better for the major program?
3) Any general advice at getting into the field
I'd love any advice you guys have!

Question on >>178 if anyone nows please answer

>>178 Computer Engineering is a hard major, and mainly math based. It's a sub category of Electrical Engineering, so you will half to take Electrical Engineering classes. Computer Science is only computer based. Computer Engineering is more about designing new computers, which includes the manufacturing and hardware. Computer Science is more about how computers work, so I guess those are the computer fixers?

I'm not 100% sure on what the jobs are, but I assume they are pretty similar. The only real difference that I know of is that Computer Engineering focuses on the physical aspect more than Computer Science. You could also do Computer Programming, which is mostly coding. Computer Programming focuses on just that. Programming. These people program stuff like apps, games, ect.

Most computer Science majors I've met want to go into video games, so you'll deal with a lot of gamers in that major. Correction, all Computer Science majors I've met were going into video games. They also tend to keep to themselves, but I don't see how this will help you choose a major.

As far as I've been told, Engineering is one of the hardest majors. Computer and Mechanical Engineering are the two hardest Engineering Majors, though I assume nuclear and aerospace are harder. There is a lot of math going into Engineering, so don't take it if you don't like math or Electrical Engineering.

Do you mind hanging on a bit for me to get more detailed information on job possibilities for both majors? It may take a while because I hurt my wrist, but I'm in the Computer Engineering field myself, so it won't hurt for me to get more information on the subject.

Thanks alot!

May I request one on finding easy to cook and cheap recipes for a college student? (I don't live in a dorm.)

Also, may I request one for finding scholarships? (Mostly odd ones that won't get claimed, but any scholarship would make me happy.)

Looking for Scholarships?

Click the link above for a list of tips for your search. However, bear in mind that there is likely no such thing as "a scholarship nobody else will find" - You're competing with an average of 2.5-3 million graduating highschool students as well as college students that are on the hunt.

The people that will be able to help you the most are Counselors and Administrators at your school or your desired college. I can sit here and spout all damn day, but those already working for schools will be able to help you much much more.

Also, I think MKOLLER might have some experience in this (certainly more experience than I have), I'll prod her to post next time I spot her :)

This is not information brokering, this is an intelligence network. People bringing together idea's that evolve on their own, that survive based on how they are. This is wonderful.

Does this mean we can have a post on Intelligence Networks now

No Dias, I am simply saying that this is a wonderful and beautiful thing.

Well, being and info broker myself I know the responsibilities and difficulties of this job. so I could help with an information gathering if anyone needs. and on that note I have information about the "Knights", who have lately giving the dollars a lot of trouble and i'd be willing to assist with the trouble at hand by giving some information. just e-mail me Syrexia000@gmail.com

Bump, we need more questions... You could ask about education, coding, etc.

*bump*

So how does one lie effectively? What can you do to maximize your chances of success?

Psychology, sociology, acting.

What have we learned from writers such as Sun Tzu and Machiavelli regarding strategic lying?

All I can tell you is to just be yourself. Lying is an art, it takes time to perfect it. Practice makes perfect.

I guess the best way would be to stop caring about anyone and everyone other than yourself and to lose your conscience. If you don't care about "casualties" (who gets hurt, etc), then you won't care about doing whatever you feel you need to do to accomplish your goals.

Trust no one, even your "best" friend...eventually, you'll probably need to use them as a "sacrifice" to further your career. Ruthlessness and apathy.

>>200 Do not be yourself when you lie but at the same time be.

To lie first you need to tell the truth and examine your every move while you do so, so you can replicate them when you are attempting to tell a lie.

Do no ever break eye contact while speaking, you can however looke the other way while thinking, for exemple when the person who is talking to you finishes talking.

There are eye rules too, when you are lying always look either:

• Up Right.


• Right.


• Down Right.

If you look to any other direction when you break eye contact it means that you are trying to construct a memory a false one, in other word you are telling a lie. Read more here.

Lying takes a lot of time to master, so don't be disappointed if you fail sometimes, just keep trying and don't forget to watch what you do when you tell the truth and soon telling a lie will be more like a brain reflex than something you are attempting to do.

I wish you luck and be patient.

Question at >>171 has still no proper answer, please of you know provide with useful infomation not only to answer the question but to give more additional info, type everything you know about the topic.

Thanks.

>>181
Thanks a lot for the info.
I will be taking Computer Engineering as well.

So back on stocks. It says it needs expanding but like with any topic I need a question to expand it in the correct direction. If its for the value of a stock, I will try to better explain how the price is what it is but this time in more depth.

It is the idea that at the present time, this number/price, is how much people agree owning a specific part of the company is worth. If you are not used to bartering and pay everything at face value then this feels a bit foreign. Bartering is agreeing on the value and both parties walking away feeling that they have won. If you believe something is undervalued you will buy it now so that later you can sell it for higher. On the opposite side the one you are buying from thinks that it is over valued and/or have a pressing matter where having liquidity is better than the benefit of future gains. In this respect it is economics. Why people make the choices they do in a free market. So let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. There are many facets and therefore I cannot write everything I know about a subject. without creating a "financial" thread >>202, I will do my best to have a more precise question then. Vallian can you tell me what you mean by "get started"? Would you like a list of reading materials to learn techniques? Or would you like to jump right in? Scotttrade.com is pretty good if you want to jump in. However jumping in isn't recommended in this case because then you aren't managing your risk. If you really wish to just try it you can go to wallstreetsurvivor.com create an account and start learning using fake money in a market that mirrors what is going on right now. If you have a more specific question I'll try my best to answer.

By the way, a financial thread sounds like a nice idea.

A financial thread sounds like a great idea, some of the info here could be moved there, and thats an area that I have a lot of interest in.

I'm expanding on >>181 since it was my post anyways.

Computer Science is mostly working with software. Computer programming is just that, programming. Computer Engineering is hardware.

I just felt that I should throw that out there.

Here's a new question: What is a good strategy for Studying, what are the Do's and Do Not's of studying?

>>220 Study at the time you feel better. I'm really more awake in the night, and it's usually quieter, so I study after midnight. Music is good if you can not think about it. Make a playlist with some instrumental only songs and some singable ones, but put more of the first. You are not going to feel like singing along all the time and, when you do, it's a good break for the brain.

Sleeping after studying is usually a good way of fixing the subject. It doesn't need to be the whooole thing before sleeping, but major points. It works better with written subjects, like history. Ah, try to summary written subjects. Read, separate the important topics and summary. Good way to fix.

For Maths and such, better is to solve problems until you don't have problems to do them anymore. Take a explanation or another about it if you can't understand, but don't copy the explanation and avoid reading it too. Better to let you brain figure out as much it can. This way, you will remember better how you solved. And the logic lingers on...

Last, turn of the internet if you are easily distracted. There are people that can do it, there are the ones that can't. But it's better than stay a whole hour doing something than the whole afternoon studying and checking facebook together.
Don't study like crazy. Stop every hour, EAT and DRINK properly, and hell, take a nap if you can't read anymore.

And what I like to do is to keep a diary. It has the subjects I had a day, what it talked about in that day, from where to where it goes in the reference book, for example. I check what I already studied, what I can't comprehend to ask out.
Try not to study everything in the last day. I take two weeks before tests start to begin studying, but I'm a fast learner. I don't have problems with subjects when I pay attention in class. If you're a bit slow, take you time to re-do you notebook on another one. Clean it, tidy it a bit. Everyday or every week.

Do study, don't internet and fake it!

Any one wanna explain how to choose a job? Like, what to do. Doctor, writer, etc.

>>230 This one is a bit difficult to answer, as there is no "one size fits all" answer to the question. I'll give you the best information I can to help:

What career choice do you think you will find to be the most fun?

You will hate working if you've picked a career that you don't find entertaining. Not so much in the "haha!" kind of fun, but work that engages your and gives you a satisfied feeling at the end of the day. If you can't find that, you'll likely never have "the job you want" because you simply don't have work that you enjoy.

Are you doing it for the money?

If you answered yes, stop right there. Let's say, for example, that the highest pay blue-collar job is to sit in the sewers and unclog people's shit from the pipes. Sure, you're making a lot of money, but your job is literally shit. That's a good 70% of your time spent doing something that you probably hate with a fiery burning passion. Don't do that. Do not ever do it for the money. Do it for you. If you don't like it, don't do it. That simple. I make pennies doing what I do, but I fucking love doing it - The money never mattered (though I might like to move out eventually...)

Is it realistic?

This one is going to be the hardest hurdle for anyone to get over: The chances of you working as a high-pay Doctor or a Lawyer are very slim. I say this because, in all honesty, the majority of people are lazy and don't have the drive necessary to get the required education and hold down jobs of that caliber. There are some jobs that pay less, but fall to the same fate because they are "glamorous" and large numbers of people want that job. The same lazy people from before fall victim to the same fate - They don't have the drive to succeed in such a highly competitive work environment.

So, to um this up:

Enjoy your work.
Do it for you.
Be realistic.

~

But let's assume you're one of the many "I don't know what I want to do with my life" people. There are lots of you. Yeah I'm staring at you, Alex. There is only one solution I can think of for this problem... Experiment. See if companies in various fields will let you sit in for a day to get a feel for the industry. Some school districts are even part of career programs where students can go learn the basics of a specific trade. I did all of these things, and it works.

So, best of luck to all of you!

for me, even though i don't like since i've never seen a use for it, but to be a good lier, u first need to be an honest person, one who people trust and always expect to tell the truth.
2. one you're used to telling the truth, lying becomes somewhat easy in a way as long as you don't nervesly breakdown. that and people trust you more so it'll be easier to get them to believe you.
3. actually believe what you are saying, and i mean BELIEVE. when telling a lie you have to believe what you are saying is true and if you yourself can trick yourself into believing that it is real than others will be fooled too.
4. if you cant master no 3, then talk..a lot and quickly. talk about your topic but in an abstract way as to get them to focus on your context more than your actions and occasionally piss them off or strike on parts that hurt them most (works for me), and talk calmly as to show that you're in control of the conversation
5.your actions, like the previous answer, control your actions because there are some people (especially women) are more perceptive of our actions than our context, so be careful and control your actions, and go into their personal space as to mess them at a psychological level and get them focused on other matters than your actions that could indicate you're lying
6. dont lie, its not good to lie unless if it can benefit the people and a good ending way
sorry if my answers are a bit...incorrect

and my own question : how do you become a info broker, and by that i mean from early stages to actually having a steady job as one..and does anyone know some places in Malaysia where they give courses to help youths like me know what works for them in the job industry

as a side note
Thanks MKOLLER for starting this tread~~
its really helpful plus better than the internet since most of the answers are relative to the questions and mostly spot-on

-Protocol 6 and Protocol 7

Most of us are using the internet and we are not aware of the existence of the Protocols.
But first. What exactly is an Internet Protocol?

Layer Protocols:

The OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework to implement protocols in seven layers.

The beginning of all:

Bush Vannevar. He was an American engineer inventor and technology scientist. He is the father of Raytheon and most importantly of Project Memex. Bush, envisioned a way to store records, books, documents etc into one device, where later the content would be visible on screen. He is in other words the father of our multimedia and thanks to him ‘’Hypertext’’ and personal knowledge base software, was influenced by his work on Memex.

In "As We May Think," Bush describes a Memex as an electromechanical device enabling individuals to develop and read a large self-contained research library, create and follow associative trails of links and personal annotations, and recall these trails at any time to share them with other researchers. This device would closely mimic the associative processes of the human mind, but it would be gifted with permanent recollection. As Bush writes, "Thus science may implement the ways in which man produces, stores, and consults the record of the race"

Hypertext development:

Hypertext was developed and created by Ted Nelson in 1965. Hypertext Transfer Protocol is in fact an application protocol which is the data communication for the World Wide Web.

Hypertext is a multi-linear set of objects, building a network by using logical links (the so-called hyperlinks) between the nodes (e.g. text or words). HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext.

Protocol 6:

You must have noticed by now, that when you go on your Internet connection to check what is wrong, you are seeing IPv4 and IPv6. In other words Protocol 4 and Protocol 6. What is Protocol 6 though?

Internet Protocol Version 6 or IPv6 is the latest version of the IP Internet Protocol. Along with IPv4 they are the major Protocols of the internet. IPv4 is a connectionless protocol for use on packet-switched Link Layer networks (e.g., Ethernet). It operates on a best effort delivery model, in that it does not guarantee delivery, nor does it assure proper sequencing or avoidance of duplicate delivery. These aspects, including data integrity, are addressed by an upper layer transport protocol, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).


Every device on the Internet, such as a computer or mobile telephone, must be assigned an IP address for identification and location addressing in order to communicate with other devices. With the ever-increasing number of new devices being connected to the Internet, the need arose for more addresses than IPv4 is able to accommodate. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing for 2128, or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses, or more than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses. IPv4 allows for only approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPv6.

Protocol 6, IPv6 is the Protocol (along with IPv4) that connects a human with the Internet via wires and machines. But Protocol 7 is really interesting in its own way.

Protocol 7:

Protocol 6 allows people to connect with the Internet only via wires and machines. Protocol 7 though is the Protocol that can actually bring the world in the Cyberpunk state that anime, manga, books and movies describe. Not in the AI level technology at its best but, there would be a certain level of all these scenarios in our reality since Protocol 7 is the one which will be able to link the human body with the Internet.

When we browse the Internet, a physical connection allows for us to connect to the internet, either through a modem or through an Ethernet card in the case of a dedicated connection. A TCP/IP stack allows us to pass traffic and resolve web sites to IP addresses. Finally, applications, such as Netscape and Eudora, allow us to see the web sites and receive our e-mail.

The modem or Ethernet function has 2 parts. The modem or Ethernet drivers provide the computer with a way to communicate with the hardware. The PPP connection, also known as Dial-up Networking, allows your computer to access the modem. These two components provide the basis of getting a connection to the Internet.

The TCP/IP stack allows the computer to pass traffic across the link to the Internet in a meaningful way. That is, the TCP/IP stack allows your computer to speak the same "language" as the equipment at the other end of your connection. The TCP/IP stack also allows you to resolve friendly host names, such as www.verio.net, into an IP (Internet Protocol) address. Without the TCP/IP stack, we would be forced to go to each web site by it's IP address instead of a name!

Finally, the applications allow us to interact with friendly software to interpret HTML code into web pages for us, interact with mail servers to exchange e-mail, connect to news servers to retrieve and post news articles, and exchange data with FTP servers to allow us to download files. Without these programs, the Internet would be much more difficult to navigate through.

The seven OSI layers use various forms of control information to communicate with their peer layers in other computer systems. This control information consists of specific requests and instructions that are exchanged between peer OSI layers.

Protocol 7 might be an Urban Legend. Yet there isn’t any official denial of it is existence. And it is not fairly announced when it will be used. However it is granted that Protocol 4 which is linked with Protocol 6 will be unable in use from 2013 and get replaced with another one.

Next I will might post about the Urban Legend John Titor. Tell me if you are interested.

This brought up a good question.
Child Support.
It's common knowledge that, until a child is 18, a divorced parent must pay monthly child support. Well, that's only the surface.
If the parent doesn't pay their child support, or can't, they fall behind on payments, but they aren't just forgiven and move on from that. This amount adds up. When you fall behind, it's your responsibility to catch up. When the child turns 18, the amount you owe stops adding up, but you still owe any money that may have added up over the years. You will continue to owe that money until the child turns a certain age (I believe it differs state to state, but I know it's 26 here). If you do not pay for a long enough period of time, the state will take the money straight out of your bank account. Your driver's license may even be revoked. If you cannot pay the amount that the state charges you, then you can file for a reduced payment that must be signed by your ex-spouse and you. The more children there are, the more money you have to pay. As each child turns 18, that cost then reduces because you're making payments for one less child.
Also, the state will choose to place the children with the mother most of the time. It's less likely for a father to get custody, but if the mother is unfit, the father can make a case for custody rights.
So, before you Dollars go out and get married and have a bunch of babies, keep this in mind.

>>258 Wow..you've made love and marriage alot more cold and harsh. xD
Other than that, thanks for the insight!

>>252 John Titor was a guy or a girl who traveled through time, no need to go into detail with stuff that never happened but good info I didn't know about IPv7, connecting our bodies to the internet, that would be crazy xD

This thread is AMAZING. Does anyone have any tips on how to be a good DJ?

^

-How to be a good DJ.

(On response to >>262 )

-What is the work of a DJ?

A DJ can work from television shows to bars and restaurants. His occupation manly and basically is to keep the people amused with his music and give a change of atmosphere in his workplace. It is not a coincidence that, when you go to eat somewhere for some reason when the music’s good you feel delightful, happier and you can even tell if it is a CD playing on its own or a DJ. So basically a DJ is there to give to people all sorts of emotions while they are entertaining themselves somewhere.

-The path to be a DJ:

As mentioned above, a DJ’s work is mainly and basically to keep people amused at all costs when they are enjoying themselves somewhere. A DJ must be armed with:

a) Great knowledge in all kinds of music.
b) Be smart and observing.
c) Knowing how to handle his workplace’s machines.
d) Not making tragic and often mistakes during the change of a song.

Djs must be sharp. A DJ’s mind during work must be spinning with 3000 every minute. And if nothing else observing. In other means to be able to read the mood at his workplace. Another song you will put when you see that the people around you feel the need to listen something happy and another song you will put when you notice that they need to relax.

Of course there are many other things that should be taken into consideration. First of all your workplace.

Is it a bar? Is it a restaurant? Is it a cafeteria? Is this place for rich people? For more regular ones?

There’s a huge variety of things that a DJ should take into account. For example:
When you are in a bar (and not a club-bar) you notice what first? The fact that the people there come to enjoy their drinks. The bars are open late at night, so maybe these people are coming tired from their works there to escape the reality’s routine. Because they work and because a bar is a somewhat more serious place, the costumers would be middle aged in their majority. Around 30-50. So…what kind of songs have these people heard? What kind of songs would they enjoy? Songs from their times. Jazz songs for example. Frank Sinatra or Billy Evans. You will start playing relaxing songs when you see that they are tired. John Coltrane’s my Favourite Things for example. When you see that they are getting used to it, that they are relaxing and that they are starting to have fun, you will play something else. You might have turn from jazz to country if it’s needed. Or even to old traditional songs. In order to be able to do this you must know from before what to put. And when I am saying before, I don’t mean to be preapared like a week ago. You have to read the mood. What the person needs. What he wants to hear. Or what even would please him to hear.

A DJ has to be sharp, observing, smart and with a huge knowledge in all kinds of music culture. I believe that being a DJ is one of the hardest jobs.

Bu you cannot be a good DJ in one night. You must learn from your mistakes, listen different kinds of music at your home and accept songs from every kind of music. You have to be educated. You must learn how to ‘’read’’ other people. And most of all in order to accomplish all the above, you need experience. And you need all these because other people relax while listening to Dub-step while others relax and have fun while listening to Gospeils.

That is why it is also very important to know well your workplace. There’s no way for a middle-aged man, fan of the Classical music to come on regular basis in a club for his entairtement. That is essential.

Unfortunately there is no such thing, as an accurate guidance to be a good DJ. A DJ’s work is similar to a professional bartender’s and these people when they are charismatic at their occupations and have the above qualifications, tend to be well-paid. And when I say well-paid I mean that they can even live in luxury by these jobs.

I believe that these are the things that a DJ should be qualified at first in order to become a great DJ one day. It is a serious job, so better the one who seeks it cause he likes it, should better not take it lightly and don’t have confidence if he is specialized in two or three kinds of music.

This thread is exceptional! It has really helped me. Thank you MKOLLER for starting it and thanks to the rest of the Dollars too for other bits of information! Nice work.

I read >>34 First Apartment and was grateful for the advice. Anyone have any more advice on it? Such as tips or whatnot? I'm planning on moving out in the summer and could use all the help I can get.

Pansexual vs Bisexual

Pansexual people are people attracted to people regardless of their gender. The word pansexual comes from the Greek word 'pan-', meaning "all".

Pansexuality is different from bisexuality.

Bisexual people are attracted to both men and women, but pansexual people can be attracted to any people. This includes people who are neither male nor female.
Pansexuality is the opposite to asexuality, as pansexuality means a person may be sexually attracted to anyone, but asexuality means a person is sexually attracted to no one. However, pansexuals are not attracted to everyone they meet, nor do they necessarily have strong sex drives.

Now enough of that Wikipedia stuff....

More or less if you are pansexual, you are gender-blind. There is no gender. There is just the person. You fall for them for who they are. Not for what's between their legs. You could care less what gender the person is.

With bisexuality there is only male and female.

Continuing

>>259
Being the product of that kind of relationship really gives you a realistic view of "love and marriage," unfortunately.
Also, I guess I'm bumping this.

pansexual ~

>>270
I know that it is out of subject yet.....I couldn't help it...Colossus. You are damn funny in the movie Frankenwennie X'D

(Even random at least it is considered as bump) XD

>>265 Emanon you don't update the contente table with your own content, just let someone else update, when it other's people new info you can post the new table but when it's yours you need to wait for it to be updated by some other user. Not a rule but it's the smart way to go.

Very important for the intelligent.

Wait a sec, IPv7 hasn't been anounced yet, and I don't see that protocol of yours happening any time soon, what they are trying to do is to make IPv6 used world wide and replace all regions that are still using protocol 4 with protocol 6, show me the link where you found that info or else I'll rewrite your post with a new one, we can't give urban legends or not confirmed info here you could at least say that it wasn't confirmed.

Please provide a link to where you found that IPv7 story or I'll have to write a new post about IPs.

For the dumb intelligent people, if that's even possible you twats.

http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/Internet/node51.html

And yeah.Protocol 7 won't be in work now. And it won't be added for the next few 5 years or so. Yet I have my uncle in yahoo and he is in the Post Office Protocol section. There are many discusses among the new development of things. Hence how he told me about the Protocls and Protocol 7. I did a little research on my own and I have sended you the links where someone can read about these stuff or go and search on google.

So, I made a thing. If you guys think it's unnecessary, feel free to ignore this, but I figured as this thread gets bigger and bigger, the table of contents should be more organized so we can actually find posts to do with specific things.
I made sections and subsections for different categories, so I hope you find this useful. I put things where I personally felt they belonged, and some things ended up in multiple categories because of that.

I was wondering if anyone has information on learning a new language? I took Japanese classes for four years in high school and I didn't learn very much.

>>290 I used this for a while http://www.japanesepod101.com/
another great way to learn Japaneses is to watch your favorite anime with subs then watch it again right after with subs off and try to understand what they're saying, sound crazy but it works.

Thank you! I'll definitely try those

im still wondering, to be an info broker is there like a subject we can learn in university or something?

Learning Japanese (Enhanced)


So you want to evolve from an uneducated weaboo to a fluent Japanese speaker?Here's the guide for you, you freaking weeb.Some ground rules:

1.Adding -san or saying "sou desu ne" doesn't make you a Japanese expert.It just makes you look like an obnoxious douche.
2.Those Rosetta Stone disk things are useless and are the 9gag of
3.Be patient, you brat.

Hiragana and Katakana
-Get Hiragana42.It's a free pdf, so you won't have to take out a dime out of your poor life.It'll teach you all the hiragana by relating it to simple images.It sounds terrible, but that's because it's not.For katakana, you'll probably pick it up just by seeing it across the web.The symbols are way more simple and through context clues, you'll be able to figure out what each of them mean and have them all stick in your brain.Also worth noting is that I like to relate the two dashes that go above the g,z, and d sounds as a rough shape, relating to how ga, za, and da are more "intense" versions of ka, za, and ta.Same with the circle, which I think of as a softer shape compared to a dash, for the p sounds.I'm mentally unstable like that. Cryptomeria is a useful extension to learn both alphabets.The Genki Drag and Drop Katakana and Hiragana tools are great drag and drop tools to use.I just basically repeated myself in the same sentence...

Textbooks
-Expensive and useless and blah blah blah and crap.Toughen up,you giant baby.A lot of pirated textbooks are easy to find online in the form of pdfs.The Genki line of textbooks are pretty helpful and that's really how I learned.They don't expand too much on kanji, so you should find another resource on that.There's two main textbooks and a workbook for each of them.From what I know, some college Japanese classes use it, so you know it's legit.Colloquial Japanese isn't bad, but the Genki textbooks expand on the language a lot more.And yes, I'm a secret advertiser for textbooks and you should buy 5 copies of each book because I told you so and random strangers on the internet are only wrong once in a blue moon.

Kanji
-Everyone's most hated topic.It takes years to master and even the great I haven't caught them all.Remembering the Kanji is an okay series.It's not the greatest thing in existence, nor is it the worst.The worst would be Rosetta Stone, my worst enemy.Remembering the Kanji is good at helping you learn the strokes and radicals-----in English.Yep, it doesn't have any of the pronunciations, so you gotta go find them all yourself or just deal with it like the lazy human you are.

Online Resources
-There's plenty of good resources online.Tae Kim is an excellent guide that I would really recommend.It's one of the most famous guides out there and it deserves the reputation.There's a very nice app of the entire guide on the Apple devices that go into the grammar and speech of Japanese.For the kanji learners, Kanji Damage would be a good place to start off.It begins with the radicals and gradually builds up, similar to the Remembering the Kanji set of books, but expands on it way more.Once you've learned a bit about the language, you should start to use Lang8.It's essentially a social network/blog service for language students.Other people will view your entries and check your entries for any mistakes to correct.Of course, this is only a supporting tool.Visualizing Japanese Grammar is a 66 episode set of narrated lessons with side comics.Cryptomeria is a decent Google Chrome application designed to help you learn hiragana and katakana.

Afterword
-Learning Japanese is no easy task.If you really want to master the language, it could take years and years of tears and frustration.Yes, you will cry because of a language.In fact, it feels like a knife wound in my heart every time I try to learn a new kanji symbol and I hope it does for you too.As for the "watching anime w/ subs" method, I highly disapprove of it being used alone.However, it will serve helpful if you're slightly fluent in Japanese already and just need to improve.Same thing with untranslated manga.You can't just expect to watch anime and learn Japanese automatically.That's just weaboo talk.In fact, try to avoid talking like a weaboo while we're at it.It'll get in the way of your learning and it'll annoy others.If you really want to test out new vocabulary in sentences, make little "template sentences" in Japanese to use for yourself.Most of all, be determined.Don't stop midway through and expect yourself to remember everything in a couple of years.Try to learn 5 or so new words in your miserable life with too much free time and do something productive for once, neckbeard.That being said, I still am romantically interested and think we should have dinner together at the classiest restaurant in town next Friday, so don't forget to call me, honey.

>>297 In Education - Learning Japanese

To be honest this might be one of the best threads that Dollars ever created. It is highly useful and we can all use that theread in order to learn and give knlowledge.
I find it something that Dollarslike.
Let's thanks the ''Izaya'' who created this thread, even though this ''Izaya'' is doing it for everyones sake and not for his personal amusement.

I agree with everything you said on learnin Japanese, and would like to expand on the topic of Kanji.
Kanji have multiple pronunciations. These pronunciations can be categorised into groups. There are two groups, on-yomi and kun-yomi. As kanji was introduced to Japan from China, it can both be read with the Chinese (on-yomi) or Japanese (kun-yomi) pronunciations. When written/read alone, the kanji has its own meaning, however this meaning can change when combined with other kanji or hiragana. Note that the amount of on-yomi and kun-yomi readings can vary.
The kun-yomi is often (there are always exceptions) used when the kanji stands alone, or in conjunction with hiragana. The kun-yomi you use depends on the word.
The same goes for on-yomi, however on-yomi is commonly used when the kanji is combined with other kanji, or there is no kun-yomi for the word.
Names are annoying, and tend to ignore these rules.
When writing kanji, there is a particular method and stroke order. Kanji are divided into radicles, which are small pieces of kanji that can be katakana and other kanji (I have never seen a hiragana radicle, but prove me wrong if you will.) If you can remember the radicles of the kanji and where they are drawn -left, righ, top, bottom, top and left side (like a capital L flipped upwards,) an iverted U shape, upright U shape or a box surrounding a radicle- writing a kanji can become much easier. In dictionaries they are classified according to their radicles. For stroke order... sorry but although the radicles help with stroke order, I can't tell you any real method for it. I found that you can 'guess' the order if you practice a lot or have a ready dawn guide kanji.
My biggest tip for kanji overall is having an excellent Japanese vocabulary. It is far easier to learn and know what kanji to use when you know WHERE and WHEN they are used.
I hope I was helpful, I am still only a Japanese learner myself... :)

Many colleges and universities require a college admission essay as part of their admission application, and scholarship applications often include one or more essays in addition to such objective information as grades and test scores. The typical question asks you to share personal information—allowing the selection committee to get to know you—such as your plans or goals, an important event in your life, your philosophy and/or beliefs, or your financial situation. Writing this college admission essay is an opportunity for you to stand out among the applicants and to prove you’re the most deserving candidate. Be sure to keep certain things in mind as you write this essay:

Consider exactly what the question asks. Then list some relevant main ideas; use this list as an informal outline for your essay.
Don’t write a “generic” essay that could pass for one that any other applicant could have written. Everything in the essay should reveal something about YOU and your unique situation. Any reader of your essay should feel as if he or she knows you personally.
Remember that committee members are seeking the applicant who fits the mission of their institution and is worthy of their award. Tailor your college admission essay topic with their perspective in mind, and work to convince them that you’re the right candidate.
If you have trouble thinking of ideas, be resourceful. Ask people who know you well what they would say about you. If someone has written a letter of recommendation for you, re-read it. Which accomplishments listed on your résumé might interest the committee?
Don’t simply repeat information that is already on your application form or in your résumé. Your essay should include specific incidents and concrete examples.
Don’t use long words and obscure vocabulary simply to impress the committee; doing so will come across as artificial and showy.
Follow guidelines regarding such things as font size and essay length. Sometimes a typed essay is required; other times, you are required to hand-write it. Sometimes it should be on the application form; other times, it must be on a separate piece of paper. No matter how good your college admission essay is, failure to follow instructions will make a negative impression and may actually disqualify you.
The appearance of your essay is important. Spell all words correctly; follow grammar and punctuation rules; and keep your paper neat. The committee may not meet you personally; this essay may be the sole basis for their selection. A messy paper or an essay full of errors will cause them to see you as uncaring or unqualified, despite the inaccuracy of this judgment.
Save your essay! There is nothing wrong with using the same ideas—and occasionally even the same college admission essay—for several applications. Each time, make revisions so that the essay topic responds specifically to the question(s). Although you have used it for other applications, the committee should not be able to tell that this essay wasn’t originally written as a response to their question.

>>320 Awh.. I don't feel like reading all that so I'm gonna ask you: what name would you give to your post ?

Entrepreneurship is the act and art of being an entrepreneur or one who undertakes innovations or introducing new things, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods. This may result in new organizations or may be part of revitalizing mature organizations in response to a perceived opportunity. The most obvious form of entrepreneurship is that of starting new businesses (referred as startup company); however, in recent years, the term has been extended to include social and political forms of entrepreneurial activity. When entrepreneurship is describing activities within a firm or large organization it is referred to as intra-preneurship and may include corporate venturing, when large entities spin-off organizations.[1]
According to Paul Reynolds, entrepreneurship scholar and creator of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, "by the time they reach their retirement years, half of all working men in the United States probably have a period of self-employment of one or more years; one in four may have engaged in self-employment for six or more years. Participating in a new business creation is a common activity among U.S. workers over the course of their careers."[2] And in recent years has been documented by scholars such as David Audretsch to be a major driver of economic growth in both the United States and Western Europe. "As well, entrepreneurship may be defined as the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled (Stevenson,1983)"[3]
Entrepreneurial activities are substantially different depending on the type of organization and creativity involved. Entrepreneurship ranges in scale from solo projects (even involving the entrepreneur only part-time) to major undertakings creating many job opportunities. Many "high value" entrepreneurial ventures seek venture capital or angel funding (seed money) in order to raise capital to build the business. Angel investors generally seek annualized returns of 20-30% and more, as well as extensive involvement in the business.[4] Many kinds of organizations now exist to support would-be entrepreneurs including specialized government agencies, business incubators, science parks, and some NGOs. In more recent times, the term entrepreneurship has been extended to include elements not related necessarily to business formation activity such as conceptualizations of entrepreneurship as a specific mindset (see also entrepreneurial mindset) resulting in entrepreneurial initiatives e.g. in the form of social entrepreneurship, political entrepreneurship, or knowledge entrepreneurship have emerged.

Emancipation

Want to emancipate from your parents. Read This:
Emanicipation is a child's release from the custody and control of his/her parents or guardian. Emancipation occurs by law at 18, but a Special Emancipation Order can be issued for minors between ages 16 and 18. This order allows minors to live independently from their parents, and to exercise greater control over their own lives.
Problems that can occur siwht a Special Emancipation Order are that some minors who live apart from their parents or legal guardians find themselves caught in difficult legal situations. Unlicensed shelters or homes, which house minors, may risk criminal penalties if they do not notify parents of the whereabout of their child. Police, judges, or other officials may force minors to return home against their wishes or to accept placement in a shelter or foster home. Landlords may refuse to lease to minors, and some government agencies may deny benefits or services to minors who do not have their parent's consent. An emanicipation order may help a minor avoid some of these legal problems.
BEFORE YOU GET TOO EXCITED READ ON ..........
IF YOU BECOME EMANCIPATED FROM YOUR PARENTS OR GUARDIAN your parents can no longer decide where you will live, go to school, or work. They can no longer discipline you or make you work or give them any money you earn. AT THE SAME TIME, HOWEVER, THEY MAY ALSO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
SO YOU STILL WANT TO GO FOR IT ....GOOD LUCK .... YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT!
Emancipation is NOT an option for every adolescent. When every adolescent automatically becomes emancipated at age 18, only "mature" minors, between the ages of 16 and 18 can become legally emancipated before their 18th birthday. To become emancipated, minors must have proven that they can manage their own affairs and already have lived wholly or partially independently from their parents. In addition, their parents must not object to the emancipation.
WHO SHOULD SEEK EMANICIPATION AND WHO SHOULDN'T? Problems getting housing because of your age or legal status Educational barriers due solely to your age or legal status Inability to enter into contracts because of your age
Minors who need continuing financial support from their parents, minors who will not be able to support themselves financially, and minors who have no special need for emancipation should NOT consider it.
To get an emanicpation order under the "Emancipation of Mature Minors Act" you must file a case in court and then convince the judge that you are a "mature" minor. You may find it difficult to get the judge to order that you be emancipated if:
Your parents object to your emancipation
You are seeking emancipation in order to qualify for public aid and have no income
You cannot prove you are mature
You still live with you parents and are wholly supported by them
HOW CAN I PROVE I'M MATURE?" You'll need evidence of your maturity from witnesses (friends, teachers, counselors, employers, or other adults who can say that you are mature), including yourself! How you act in court and your reasons for seeking emancipation will also make a big difference in whether the judge decides you are mature.
IF I RUN AWAY FROM HOME WILL THAT HELP ME BE EMANCIPATED? No!!!! While most emancipated minors do live away from home, it is best if they are living in a stable location such as with friends, relatives or in their own apartments - before they seek an emancipation order. Don't forget, if you are a minor this is almost impossible!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BECOME EMANCIPATED? You should allow at least 2 months for court processing time before your petition for emancipation will be ruled on by the court. Unless you can get a special court order first, you will have to give 3 weeks' notice to your parents that you are seeking emancipation.
The above is true and off "Legal Aid Documents" and if you think it looks easy on paper, wait until you get into it and see how difficult it can be.
Unless you are mentally, sexually or physically abused there is no reason to leave home. If your parents argue too much then try sitting down and discussing this with them if possible. If they won't listen see if you can't be placed with grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc. Trust me, being emancipated is not a lot of fun. You risk being a "Ward of the Court" and falling through the cracks of the system.
Just in case ... if anyone thinks they can make up a story of beatings or sexual abuse think again. There is a little more to it than that and there are trained police to catch the real thing or lies and they do it well!!!!
I hope that any young person reading this post and considering emancipation only because you don't like some of the rules of the house will think twice about it. If you want to be treated like a mature person then act like it! Take on responsibility such as helping around the house, a part-time job, getting good grades. That's maturity!

Please tell me about animation..PLEASE..
my teacher said, i have to research about their production and animation companies...
BUT i don't know where to start or how they make those anime..
so please anyone who knew TELL ME..

>>332 Doesn't have to be about anime, per se. It would honestly be easier if you looked into something like Pixar, since it's way more likely to be in your native tongue and accessible through a simple search. Or if you meant traditional animation, I'm sure you could find something on, say, Avatar, if that fits your tastes. From what I remember they were pretty open about their behind-the-scenes commentary.

I don't have any particular information on the process myself, but it's a suggestion. Could you elaborate what exactly you need to find out?

>>333 about their jobs in making animation

animation have different types like anime, video games or art but i needed their specific jobs and what kind of software to use.
This is a personal request i made, so i can be accepted for the career.. so please tell me how... my future depends on it...

>>335 I'll post what I know about the process in general, then. Anyone with more knowledge in this, feel free to correct me or fill in missing details.

As with any story, there are of course Writers and Concept Artists that first decide on who the characters are, what they look like, their significance in the story, and the story itself as a whole.

Typically, the art produced by the concept artist will differ from the actual animation, and it is simply a design to base it off of. This is especially true for 3D animation, since animating in 3D is an ordeal of its own. But I'll focus on 2D animation for this.

As for the writing, after a general plot has been conceived, their focus lies on defining the major "beats" of the story - as in, the major plot points. They essentially create an outline of events.

After the basic concepts are laid out, storyboards are created based around these beats. This is a process between the Writers, Directors, and the Storyboard Artists. The storyboard consists of very basic sketches of each scene throughout the film or episode, to give a very general idea of its flow and artistic direction.

If voice acting is involved, this, along with any other necessary sounds or music that need to be synced to the animation, is when it is developed. The audio is set to the storyboard sketches as a prototype for the animation itself.

As for the actual animation part, in 2D animation, there are usually two steps. The first step involves the main Animator, responsible for most of what the finished product will look like. They sketch the key frames throughout the film/episode, which are the "important" frames, such as when a character is standing still, or very few frames of movement. The second step involves the "Inbetweener," who fills in the remaining frames to create a smoother transition between key frames.

This part I'm not sure about, but as I understand it, the one(s) who handles the background is sometimes a different person altogether. The key animator handles any important foreground animation, which is then interposed over the background.

One thing to note is that, typically in modern animation, the computer handles a decent amount of the inbetween work, calculating an automatic path for moving objects between frames. These, of course, have to be edited manually at times for more polished results. Computers also largely handle the coloring as well, and oftentimes the inbetween and coloring work is outsourced to a different animation company altogether.

As for what specific software they use, it's more than likely that it differs from company to company. I honestly have no idea what they would use, but it's more than likely that the larger companies won't use anything that you'd just have at home. Don't quote me on that, though - for all I know they use photoshop.

That's all I got. To recap, the main people involved, in order of process, would be the Writers, Concept Artists, the Storyboard Artists, the Voice Acting Directors and voice actors themselves, Sound/Audio Engineers, Key Animators, and Inbetweeners. Hope this helps.

Bump.

Does anyone know how to write to government officials? I plan on writing a letter to a state representative or two to convince them not to support a certain proposal. I feel strongly about the issue and could include a personal testimonial. I don't want to come out wishy-washy, but I don't want to appear threatening, redundant, or pitiful-sounding either, so tone is what I probably need the most advice on. Writing this request was hard enough, asking for things is not in my nature. Any tips on formatting would be appreciated as well - I'll probably hand-write my letter. It will be my first time doing something like this, so I'm not too sure on what to do. Thank you!

>>341 CONTACTING THE GOVERNMENT

Finding a government individual's contact info isn't the hard part. You just need to know your representative's name or your district number. Of course, depending on your state, districts can change. For example:

- Prior to 2011, the district I lived in was California Congressional District 4. For a set period of time, my reps were John Doolittle, and then Tom McClintock.
- Because the districts have been redrawn since then, I now reside in California Congressional District 1. My district is now repped by Doug LaMalfa.

Now, a district representative oversees a wide area. My district consists of eight different counties. An option would then be to write to an official only serving my county, because they would have a better understanding of the area I'm writing about (of course, they may have to contact the district rep. later on if they don't have the answer you're looking for, which makes the process take longer). Your county website will have information on how to contact county officials.

Now, as for writing said letter:

- The format would be that of a business letter. Templates can be found online, but all in all it's pretty straightforward. A salutation/introduction, the topic of the letter, the body of the letter containing much needed information, and a closing that provides additional contact information.

- The tone needs to be semi-formal and forward. Assertion is key here. The idea is not to waste any time; focus on what the issue is and why it is important. Do your research beforehand, and be sure to include as much relevant information as you can.

- When introducing yourself, briefly explain why you have a personal interest in the topic. Leave all anecdotes and testimonies for the final paragraph(s) of the body of the letter. The letter will flow better that way.

- Last but not least, always be sure to thank the person you are writing to for reading the letter, and for taking an interest in your topic. Even if they don't necessarily share your enthusiasm, they're more likely to respond.

- If you don't get a response, don't feel bad. Government officials do not have the time to answer every request, but they are very likely to read all of them. Wait a while, and if you don't receive a response after, say, three weeks to a month, try writing a different official.

CONTACTING THE GOVERNMENT, PART II

Enclosed is a letter that I submitted to the Nevada Department of Transportation. As it is approaching a month, I am considering submitting a copy to RTC (Reno Transportation Commission) for further review. It's a three page document, so I'll only post the cover letter here:

Dear ***** *** ******,

I am a GIS/Natural Sciences student from **********, CA. I often find myself traveling to the Reno area, and because of that I find the growth of the city's transportation network to be a rather fascinating subject. Recently it has come to my attention that a collaborative effort to improve Nevada's transportation network is underway. I would like to submit a proposal for consideration.

The area in question would be the intersection of S. ******* Boulevard and S. ******** Street. Enclosed in this email is a three page document of the proposal. The first page summarizes the project with a risk/benefit analysis. The second page is a draft 3D rendering of the project (the north half is not yet sketched, but the general idea is there). The final page is a map of the project area as well as possible phases of construction.

I look forward to hearing from you in regards to the viability of such a project. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Sincerely,
Madeline Koller
**********, CA
---------------------------
I annotated some parts for you guys, as such:

- The first bold segment is introducing myself as a GIS student from a neighboring town.

- The italicized segment is briefly describing my vested interest in what the department does (about one sentence).

- The underlined segment reveals my purpose and intent of writing the letter, as well as the subject for discussion.

- Because I'm submitting a document with my argument, I only need one body paragraph which summarizes that document. As you can see, I briefly describe the content from each page (for longer documents I would be a bit more vague, describing a set of pages instead of every single one).

- Lastly (second bolded section), I thank the person I am writing to, expressing my desire to continue to work with them.

- Because this was done over email, the attachment is in the bottom of the letter. Had I mailed this, the attachment would simply be placed behind the first page of the letter.

Hello fellow dollars!
I want to become a hacker, but not For criminal or malicious purposes (aka a cracker). Can anyone tell me where to start? What programs/computer languages to learn, any books or articles to read? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bump bump bump.

>353
That depends on what kind of hacking you intend to get into. For mere hacking in general, try hackthissite.org. If you're a gamer that wants a bit more fun after beating one of your favorite titles, try gamehacking.com. If you'll be doing a lot on the web, go for a free trial on adobe web premium cs6.

Also, w3schools can teach you just about anything you need to know html, css, java, and many other vital languages. If you follow the full course on any of the topics, you'll be able to get into production way sooner than you might think. Best of all, there is no sign up.

I see non-fiction publishing, but what about fiction? Is there a process to go through after the book is written? How far should it be finished before we take it to a publisher?

>353
Hacking becomes a slippery slope. Because people don't understand "hackers build, crackers destroy" Where I started in the beginning was learning C+ to create my own programs. Java is another great language to learn.If you google about things like back doors and what not you will come up with a lot oof useful info. But remember, despite your intentions, a lot of places consider hacking a crime.as Ionce found out.

I need some ideas for an essay on ANTHEM by Ayn Rand. My teacher is having us write for an essay contest and I've had what I guess you could say "a writers block". Anything will work I just need something that's on topic to write about.
My prompt is:
Equality understands that his invention will benefit mankind greatly; however, this was not his main motivation in conducting his experiments, and it is not the primary source of the great joy he experiences. Discuss.

I know this is a simple question, but I was wondering so I decided to post it here...

Is their an annual event that occurs on April 15 pertaining to Dollars?

Erebde, there has been some threads discussing a possible Dollars day, where we would write a $ sign or a D on our left hand. However, I'm not sure if it's April 15th or April 20th. April 20th I think was supposed to be "Dollars Day", but the thread for that was pertaining to putting up posters about the Dollars, whereas the original April 15th day was just drawing a $ or D on our left hands, but OP mentioned moving April 15th to the 20th instead to coincide with Dollars Day...? Sorry if this is confusing.
