Steven asks…

Cheapest way to send cargo from Russia to Malaysia?

what would be the cheapest way to transport personal belongings from Moscow,Russia to Malaysia?I’m a student who’d be soon returning home for good & need to take back some books,clothes etc which might not be able to fit within the 20kg baggage limit.Paying extra for excess baggage & cargo services through airline companies are comparatively costly.It doesn’t really matter to me how long it takes for the shipment to reach so long it’s not too costly & safe.
I’ve been told logistic companies offering freight/sea-mail services would be the best choice.Tried contacting a few,but can’t seem to get any response from them.Perhaps cos it’s a small-scale shipment & not one of those import-export-business based.
Any students who’ve dealt with parcels & cargoes or anyone who has further details or contact numbers of companies in Moscow that might be useful,please drop a line.It is rather urgent as i need to make arrangements

Nagesh answers:

Pack into smaller boxes and post it. Cost only slightly more but cheaper than excess luggage.
But if u can get a freight company that would be better and only slightly less as u dont have bulk.
Dont the univ have such contacts?

Mary asks…

which printer to buy?

Canon PIXMA MP270 Printer or HP Deskjet 1050 Inkjet Printer? just for small business at home so not heavy usage just looking for best cheap printer, both are same price only £30. canon one says pages 4.8 ipm colour and HP says 12 (no mention of ipm so are they both based in ipm?)

Nagesh answers:

Does it make any difference how many pages you get each minuet?what you should be looking at
and this is very important is,are the ink cartridges separate because if they are not DO NOT buy it
because with one container holding all the colours,you never know if you are about to run out of
one,and the result is poor,very poor indeed.So what ever the price,go for quality,and do not be
overly concerned over the price,we all know the printer manufacturer try to keep the prices of ink, a lot
higher than they should be,so buy a proprietary brand they work just as well as the “named” brands..
An excellent brand of printer,and model is the,brother–DCP-145c….

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

David asks…

What major would be best for me?

I’ve been having a lot of difficulties with choosing a major/ an area to study in college. I was initially going to go to California College of the Arts for architecture, but wasn’t able to attend due to financial reasons. I moved to Pittsburgh from Atlanta to live with my mom and have been attending a sub- branch of Penn State since fall of 08. If I stay here I’ll have to stay for another year then transfer to another campus.

I have way to many interests that its becoming impossible to choose a major.. I want something flexible so I can learn what I want, but I also want a degree that will supply me with a job and money to raise a family. And yes I know life isnt all about money.

I was almost certain I would like to pursue a degree in international business and business management, until I took a semester of business courses and wanted to kill myself- so dreadfully boring.

I’ve been looking in “general studies”, but I dont know if thats a legit degree? I really want to study a bunch of things… but I feel that having a specific degree will take me further in life…

I want to learn German while I’m in college, but the only German course that is offered is a web based course and I dont want to flunk out from it being impossible to learn online. I plan to study in Germany my junior year also so taking a few semester of German would be super helpful. I’ve been thinking about transferring schools, but I feel like I was put in this situation for a reason…

I would ultimately like to work for a design/ business firm in Germany, somewhere abroad, or in the US with a firm that has international clients; then later on to work from home

If anyone has any suggestions please, please, please get back to me.

Thanks!

Nagesh answers:

The best thing would be to pick a couple subjects you like and pick one to be your major with a minor or two. Or you could double major – and still add a minor if you want. Even if general studies is a legit major, it wouldn’t look very good on a resume, but picking a couple different majors or minors if you have a diverse range of interests can still work for you. And if you really can’t decide, you can always start out undeclared, take a bunch of classes that interest you and start out with your general ed requirements, and you might discover something you really like and decide it’s what you want to do.
Good luck!

Betty asks…

im not the best writer. does this sound like a narrative paper?

In my 15 years of life I’ve had different memorable experiences with racism from the stories I’ve been told to matters between friends and family and what I’ve seen on television. My parents were born in 1965 and their encounters toward racism are slim. Yes, nicknames were thrown around but not harsh enough to take extreme offense. My mother Theresea has been in a loving relationship with a colored Mississippian man for almost 2 years. He is mainly known for being the uncle of the famous rap sensation Snoop Dogg and his popular restaurant Reo’s Ribs. I assume from the stories he has told me, Mississippi isn’t a walk through heaven. Growing up in a state where racism still existed, it wasn’t his favorite place to call home. Reo has told me his fears of swimming he because he has had close friends pulled under water and vanish from his life.
“If I wasn’t careful I would never be here” he said. A colored person couldn’t enjoy a swim in the river without being worried they were going to be drowned by a person who doesn’t like their appearance. Hangings took place, shootings, and they still happen today. Reo Varnado is a now respected man who has had racism become a piece of his life. But his business is booming and he has become part of equality. He is just human.
Being born a mutt of many ethnicities such as jewish, indian, black irish, and European I haven’t had a racial experience myself. I have family and friends who have had some kind pointed towards them growing up. My cousin Antwain is half black as is one of my friends. I don’t understand why people can just automatically assume they can comment and call a person “negro” or “nigger”. A person is a person no matter was shape, color, or size. Each individual has blood flowing through their veins, a brain beneath their skull and a heart between their ribcage. Our skin is just a color. White, black, brown, yellow, we’re still a person.
A few years back I was watching The Outsiders, a movie based off the book written by SE Hinton, with my class. The movie is based on two social classes fighting because they look and act differently. The Greasers were against the Socs as the Socs were against The Greasers. The Socs are the rich pretty-boys who wore high water jeans and sweaters and The Greasers are the hoodlums with slicked back hair. As the movie went by you can see that they aren’t very different. 3 lives were lost because there was no getting along with the opposite clique. But near the end they all end up being regular people who wish to succeed in life and be happy.
I understand there are many different forms of racism such as religion, size, color, sexual orientation and education level. Racial differences are not something we should base life on. A my age I haven’t experienced much, but in a way it great that I haven’t.
by the way we had to write a narrative paper on our experiences with racism. if i need to change anything please let me know. thank you in advance! i appreciate the help. 🙂

Daniel asks…

I have a huge problem I really need some advice adults only?

Hello, my husband and I have our own business. (landscape architecture) based out of our home. We have a huge house no kids yet because we plan on having that when I graduate from the ultrasound program next year. I will be an ultrasound tech. Anyways, due to the economy going down and things we are barely making ends meat. We purchased this house to have a family in a year and a half. Well, our business isn’t doing so well anymore and my husband said that because I am a magazine model as well he feels that I should be an adult star like a topless high paid dancer traveling from strip club to strip club on the weekends. So I was hesitant about it and since i am in ultrasound school this would help us keep our home. Our home is 3000 a month andi can make that in 2 weeks as an adult star feature entertainer. They want to hire me at 150 an hour for 3 hours a night and i will get a check at the end of the weekend. I felt uncomfortable with this kind of was thinking yes I can do this then I felt like I didnt want to because I tired it before and my husband said he didnt like it but now he is telling me i really need to do this so we can keep our house. I told him we can move out and sell our house and rent a house and i won’t have to do it and we can get caught up with the irs which we still owe 70 grand for not paying them. If we stay in this house then I will have to strip for the clubs on weekends paid hourly cause i am a magazine model but i still wont’ be able to pay the irs back only the bills if I stay here. If i move out into rental home i can pay back the irs and i wont have to strip at all. but he is mad he wants me to strip he wants to keep the house because he loves it here its our home and he has grown attached to it. What do you think it best he is making me feel like crap for how i feel. I feel that we should sell the house and move into rental and save money get out of debt with the irs and I won’t have to get room mates and strip cause I will be in a rental home or stay in our big house and strip to help with the bills until the economy is doing better and also get room mates. What woud you do what decision would you make

Nagesh answers:

If he loves you he shouldn’t make you take that decision, or take it for you. Why doesn’t he get a job with better money to pay for the house?

Try finding other jobs that don’t imply stripping. That’s awkward. What are you gonna tell your kids in 10 years? See this house? Mommy had to dance naked in strip clubs to pay for it!

It’s your life and it seems like you have to strip in order to keep your man happy. Isn’t he thinking of a rented house at all? Try to make him more reasonable. If that doesn’t work… Then strip. What doesn’t a woman do to keep her marriage and life….?

Laura asks…

TEENS: Would this story opening make you want to read on? How old would you say I am based on my writing?

Its just the beginning of Chapter One.

ONE: FIRST DAY
“It’s just until we find another placement, honey,” said my mother, turning to face me. “I promise you won’t be here for too long.”

I hoped she was right. The idea of going to a state school for more than a few weeks was terrifying. I was a private school girl, born and bred, with no idea of how to survive in such an institute as this. My hands clutched the seatbelt tightly.

“Mom, please don’t make me do this. Can’t we just get a home tutor like before, please?” I begged.

“No, Brianna. It’s all been sorted out, now. I will find you both a better school as soon as I can, but I’m really very busy right now with the business.”

“I don’t mind, mom,” said my twin brother, Brody. “Brie’s just being silly.”

“Silly?” I exclaimed. He clearly wasn’t aware of the seriousness of our situation. “Silly? Brody, don’t you know what happens to private school kids in state schools?”

“Um, they make friends, have a good time and live happily ever after?” he shrugged.

“No! They get eaten alive!”

Brody laughed. He definitely didn’t know of the realities of American schools. I’d watched every high school movie in preparation for this, and I’d come to the conclusion that we’d either be social outcasts or we’d be savaged by a mutant science teacher.

“Daddy!” I whined. That worked every time.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”

Except for this time.

“But, daddy! I can’t do this. I can’t go to state school. They’ll hate me. The smart kids and the new kids are always the pariahs, and I’m smart and new!”

“Listen, sweetie, you know that I’ve tried. I tried to fund the rebuild of your old school after the arson attack, but the authorities wanted to build a mall in its place. I tried to apply to Walterson, but they only accept applications in the fall. I really did try,” he tried to reason with me.

I groaned. There was absolutely no way I was getting out of going to Caspar Hills High School. If I ever found out who burned down Cloverfield Prep, I would make them pay.

“Now come on, I need you two to hurry. Your mother and I need to pick out the colour scheme for the new restaurant chain.”

I stayed firmly put.

“I’ll buy you that encyclopaedia set thing that you’ve been wanting on my way back,” he said in a singsong voice.

Bribery was something that usually didn’t worked with me, but I knew that the encyclopaedias would make a fantastic addition to my reference library. Plus, I would probably need all the help I could get now I was in this place. I unbuckled by seatbelt, and slowly opened the door. A crowd of people were standing around my father’s black Porsche, staring at it intently.

Someone I recognised pushed their way through the crowd. “Brie?”

My heart leapt as soon as I saw the familiar tousled brown hair. “Jesse!” I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck. I was so pleased that I knew someone in this hell other than Brody. Jesse Daniels was Brody’s best friend who we had known since we were toddlers.

“Hey, Jesse,” Brody called appearing beside me.

“See, it’s not all bad here, darling,” my mother called from the car, “We’ll be back to pick you up at 3, okay? Love you!”

As soon as the car pulled away, the crowd surrounded me, talking at me. I couldn’t make any of it out, but it sure was giving me a headache.

“YO!” Jesse yelled. The crowd went silent. “Give the girl some space.” He pulled Brody and I away from the excited teens.

“Thanks, Jess.” I said, smoothing out my clothes.

“No problem, Brie. But, what are you guys doing here anyway? Community service?”

“Actually, no.” Brody told him, “Didn’t you hear? Cloverfield burned down. Someone torched the place.”

“Seriously? That’s harsh.”

“What’s harsher is that we’ve been sent to this dump” I said, gesturing towards the large stone building. “No offence,” I added as an afterthought.

“None taken.” Jesse grinned. He ran his hands through his hair as he looked around. “It looks like a dump, but it’s really not that bad. I mean, they don’t serve us lunch on silver platters …” he trailed off and smirked.

I gave him a playful shove. “You know they don’t do that at Cloverfield.”

“I know. I think you’ll like it here, Brie. I really do.
They’re excited about the new girl because she’s rich, and the majority of people at their school are poor.

Nagesh answers:

Hmmm…

I’m a teenager…I used to be a Chick-lit fan (i guess this short story is part of that genre), and I have to say, it’s not bad… Now, I’m not a Chick-lit fan anymore, but i think my girl friends would love this.

As for your age? Hmmm 14? 15?

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

Helen asks…

T1 MPLS vs 10MB VPN fiber cable both company based?

I currently have a T1 line over MPLS to another location. I am told that my speed should be 1.54 up and down. after checking the speed at speakeasy with their speed test, it shows that i’m only getting 0.6 down and 0.8 up. After speaking with charter business, they offered a fiber solution with 10MB down and 10MB up with a VPN in place of MPLS for a little more then what we pay now. This would mean the connection will be 10 times fater up and 16 times faster down. I know that most cable companies say that it’s up to a specific speed but even at half the speed it’s still a lot faster then what we are getting now. With this being a business account, we would still be able to get a static IP unlike most home cable ISP. With this being a fiber business line, if it went down, the SLA would have it back up quickly. Fiber is usually reliable and normally only effected by outside sources such as a tree falling. If this is the case the SLA would have technicians onsite and problem fixed with a few hours.

A little bit about this business. We need to go online and lookup information, we need to connect to our data center to transfer information back and forth. There has been periods of downtime which could be as much as 10 hours at a time of which would not effect us much. All of our data is kept at a data center and a few servers locally that only local users access. While we do transfer some secure information, most information transfered if sniffed would not be a big deal.

With this being said, Would it be best to go with the 10MB fiber solution, the T1 solutions which were already bottlenecking at, or another solutions? Why do you think the solution your recommending would be best? I thank you ahead of time for your help in this question.

Nagesh answers:

You are using MPLS over a T1 line. The T1 is a physical layer, and MPLS operates at the network layer over a data-link layer, which is probably IP in your case.
The information that you give does not allow me to make a decision about the relative merits of the two solutions. You mention that you can be down for 10 hours at a time and it does not cause much problem, that you do not need to worry about sniffing of your data, etc. I would want to have some information about the mean time between failures for both the fiber and the T1 solution, and the mean time to repair both solutions. On the surface, if the 10 Meg solution is not much more expensive than the T1 solution, and the fiber solution will run fewer errors than the T1 solution (which means that the effective bandwidth of the T1 is slower). Then it seems the best choice.
However.
If I was able to do a proper analysis of your business and the connections that you have and an analysis of your traffic, then I would be able to give you the proper network configuration and your Business Continuity Plan, your Disaster Recovery Plan, and the relative costs for each solution.

Susan asks…

ugghh! i really don’t know what i wanna be when i grow up!!!?

ok so i’m a freshman in h.s. and lately a lot of ppl have been asking me what i wanna be when i grow up and my school even took us to colleges so we can like see where we wanna go when the time comes. now i only have like 3 yrs left of h.s. cause this yr is almost over and i have NO IDEA of what i wanna be when i grow up! first i wanted to be a doctor, then a teacher, then a geologist, then a climatologist, the an earth science teacher, but now i really have NO CLUE! i DEFINATLY want to go to college but i guess i really don’t know what all my options are like career wise. my grades right now are:
adv. geometry- 104%
adv. eng.- 101%
pre chemistry-99%
speech-100%
spanish-98%
civics-98%
business-97%
home ec.-100%

what kind of fields based on my grades should i consider going into? what kind of career options would best suit me? and like i said i’m definatly without a doubt going to college so i’ll have even more career choices.

Nagesh answers:

Don’t go crazy. You don’t have to declare a major until you start your junior year of college. That leaves you 6 years to find what you really like. I didn’t even decide what I wanted to be until after I graduated college, spent 4 years in the Army and then went to law school. I opened a restaurant 3 years ago. Doesn’t make sense with what I have done, but I really enjoy it. Good lock!

Best gaming desktop for me?

Hello,

I’m looking to buy a new computer, and I was wondering what would be best for my needs.

I use my desktop mainly for gaming, so I need something relatively powerful. My previous computer was an Acer Predator, and it was a great gaming desktop.(It got fell off a table and is beyond repair, need a new computer).

I play games like WoW, CSS, Team Fortress 2, so nothing too heavy to handle for a decent computer. Im looking forward to playing Guild Wars 2 though, so I would like something with high definition and high performance graphics card. Im not into single player epics, more or less online cooperative games such as MMO’s or FPS’s.

I went to www.cyberpowerpc.com and created a computer on there, and this is the setup I ended up choosing for myself.

Laura asks…

What’s the best way to deal with a possessive irrational ex?

Here’s a letter he wrote me, Tell me what you think I should de, I totally feel THREATENED.

“I first want to say that I miss you and I love you and Lisa (btw: he’s referring to our daughter). I know that I made some wrong choices when I was home but at some point we have to get past that and move on with life. I know you may feel otherwise but I do love and accept Lisa as my daughter (btw he went back and forth claiming and denying her for years, she’s now 9, and has never supported her or been apart of her life). I made wrong choices based on what people told me and on things you did in the past but not based on my heart. Even though I never got the results of the DNA test I still use to go up to Lisa’s school to see her if I could because you wouldn’t open your door (btw I got ride of him along time ago once I realized that he had no interest in being a father or supporting my child). I’m coming home (btw he’s in jail) in January and I want us to be a family and I’m not trying to hear nothing else yall belong to me and that’s just the way it is. I do understand that we have alot to talk about but you have to understand that I’m sorry for the wrong choices I made. I have a better life now I own a business and I have a nice place, half of that belongs to yall. I had my time to play when I came home, I’m done, I want my family and I will die trying to rebuild what I ****** up. Give me my chance, you owe me that and I’m not trying to hear nothing else. I want yall to see who I have become on the streets while we were going through our differences and over this past year I been in here. You’ll really be proud. I swear I will never walk away from you again. I want to always walk with you no matter if were together or not. You will be my wife.”

Nagesh answers:

Um I’d be kinda cautious. It sounds like he’s doing the thinking & deciding for both of you whether you want that or or not.This is what I’d advise you to do since he’s coming off as strong arming you…
Do you know any large strong men that communicate well?Men respect other men more than they do women in certain cases. You need to have another man even a brother or some big @$$ guy other than yourself set your ex straight.The guy that you have help you needs to talk to your ex in person and spell it out for him that you want nothing to do with him.Tell him to not over explain it to your ex and don’t let him give your ex any reasons why either.Your ex needs to have no doubt in his mind that you do not want him in your life. You must be consistent in your behavior and don’t go all soft on him by thinking talking it out with him is going to make him understand you better.Tell him you don’t owe him $hit,not even to hear him apologize.Just say that everythings ok and that you really don’t care about him anymore.You don’t owe him anyrthing especially in light of how pushy & rude he sounds.Do what you have to do to protect yourself including going ahead and filing a police report stating that you want them to have it on record that this guy is getting out of the slammer and said he’s coming for you. The report will be assigned a case number so make sure you get that info before you leave. The letter he wrote sounds stalkerish. Report it to his parole officer immediately.After all of this if he persisits in bugging you then you’re going to have to be strong and come across as meaning everything that you say.Maybe move and definitely change your phone number! Good luck…

Lizzie asks…

How do you promote an e commerce site ? Get people to buy and not just browse ??

I really want to be a stay home mom and that means I have to get this business profiting ASAP but have limited funds. Did an Alexa search of related business to get most bang for my ad buck , got an adbrite account , joined google base, auctioning items on Amazon to lead people to my website , and placing free ads on craigs list ( which worked BEST of all for generating visits to my site ) . I need SALES ! I have been up and running 1 week and have 1 sale and 1 one customer hemming and hawing about price on a large ticket item.

Help please , I really want to stay home with baby . Not asking to be Bill Gates here just a small emergency income would be nice !

Nagesh answers:

Generating sales is different from generating traffic. You seem to be doing a lot in terms of getting traffic to the site, now you need to focus on how to get those visitors to buy from your site

Improving conversion involves:

– getting the right traffic who are interested in the products you offer
– building customer confidence and ensuring that the visitors feels confident in buying from your site
– improving product presentation which involves the quality of your pictures, having copy that elicits excitement in the product, and an easy navigation and shopping cart system
– maximizing after-sales opportunities such as ensuring smooth delivery of the items purchased, sending followup emails

Nagesh answers:

100% scam.

There is no job.

There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.

The next email will be from another of the scammer’s fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the “secretary/assistant/accountant” and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the “money” via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the “supply company” while you “keep” a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank’s money you sent to an overseas criminal.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like “FBI@ gmail.com”, “police_person @hotmail.com” or “investigator @yahoo.com” and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer’s attempt at impersonating a law enforcement official can be extremely funny.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his ‘potential sucker’ list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.

Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don’t bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn’t worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

6 “Rules to follow” to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.

Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed ‘red flags’ and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.

If you google “fake check cashing job”, “fraud Western Union scam”, “check mule moneygram scam” or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

Ken asks…

Fannie & Freddie why not let our mortgages go free?

(I wrote a letter to my Senator back in July this exact question–no answer back!).

I want to know why the government will not let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “fail”? I would like to see the government take these over and these two “lending giants” (mostly government owned as it is) be completely government owned? The way I could see the situation is as follows: The government announces that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will continue to do business but they are no longer “stock owned corporations”, instead the government takes on the debt, distributes the $5 trillion as and “add on” to the already $9.6 Trillion deficit and the taxpayers (as they are now) and bail out each other. The difference being that any person who now has a mortgage purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (nearly 50% of all homeowners) would now be “debt free” with no mortgage. The other 50% of people, are the ones that do not comply with Fannie or Freddie guidelines (such as “liar loans”/stated income loans and such… they do not deserve to be “bailed out” as they took on more this than they should have).

The kicker is that no one really knows if their loan is actually owned by Fannie or Freddie, so it’s kind of like the “hot list”. The next part would be to add on a Federal Tax that would be set up as a “lock box” (as Mr. Gore proposed), the Federal Tax could be calculated to a certain percentage on all homes based off the current assessed values and then each year for, lets say, the next 10 years this tax would go DIRECTLY to paying off the debt taken on by the government for “bailing out” the homeowners. (Make sure some good actuaries’ are hired–that’s the tough part).

Here is the best part, now nearly 50% of all persons who now own a home are now mortgage free! This would be a real “stimulus package”, with a savings of (if the loans were underwritten the way they were supposed to be) 33% of a person’s income (suggested mortgages shouldn’t be more that 33% of a person’s gross income).

So the solution is 1. Take on Fannie and Freddie at a federal level–they set the rules. 2. Give a break to the people who have one of these mortgages (they shouldn’t have to pay it back twice over)–i.e. distribute the burden. 3. Raise a Federal Tax to pay the debt back via a Federal Real Estate Tax, with a set time period for this deficit to be paid back. This would cause an immediate increase in spending, taxes, and economic growth…

Nagesh answers:

Unfortunately mortgages are too complicated to just let go free. On the other hand, they probably are crooked and just don’t care.

Paul asks…

Need help deciding if I would like Six Feet Under?

I have been wanting to buy HBO’s Six Feet Under on DVD, and Best Buy has a great deal right now on the complete series. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out if I would like the show based on other shows I like.

My favorite show right now is Dexter on Showtime. I love Michael C. Hall and since he is also in Six Feet Under, I figured that I would like it too. I also like Weeds, True Blood, Californication. I know that Six Feet Under deals with a family funeral home business or something, but other then that I know nothing about the show. If you could let me know if you think I would like it based on the other shows I said I liked, and also what type of show Six Feet Under is and if you liked it or not. Thanks in Advanced!!

Nagesh answers:

Based on your fav. Shows, then yes you will like SFU. SFU is based around the Fisher family who owns and operates a funeral home. Each episode starts with showing the death of someone and the eventual funeral that the Fishers handle. The Fisher family is dysfunctional (who’s family isnt?) yet fascinating. It shows them dealing with their everyday lives, loves, losses, hopes and dreams. It is simply one of the best tv series made to date in my opinion. The series finale is the best I have ever, ever seen on tv. You will get sucked into the drama of their lives, trust me.
But i will warn you that there is lots of sex. Some of it is gay sex. So if you are uncomfortable with that, then either fast forward thru it or skip buying the series. I say buy it! Here is link on amazon so you can read other reviews if you want. By the way, i bought my set off amazon about a year ago for $60 so if you can wait, check amazon occasionally, as their prices fluctuate.

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

David asks…

I need help with home work?

Question 3 – Mortgages (20 marks)
The sovereign debt crisis in Europe and a slowing US economy have dented consumer and business confidence in the western world. There has been an increase in talks of a possible recession in the U.S and the likely effects of it on the Canadian economy. In the midst of this, your family friend Ms. Hazel Diego and her fiancé have decided to purchase their dream home. Their dream home is listed for $900,000; if they decide to purchase the house this week they can get an additional $30,000 off the list price. They do not want to pay CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation) insurance premium and have decided to make a 25% down payment (which is 5% higher than the minimum required to avoid the insurance premium).
Hazel and her fiancé follow macro events globally and have friends that work in the investment industry. Based on their own research and recommendation made by friends they feel we potentially have a banking crisis unfolding in Europe and that the US will either go into a recession or at best be in stall speed (1%-2% GDP growth) for several years. The banking crisis in Europe coupled with a recession/stall speed in the U.S will lead to a global economic slowdown and potentially reduce the demand for commodities and other services. This global slowdown can negatively affect the Canadian economy, which in turn will force the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates at current levels or do further monetary easing.
Following are the two mortgage rates offered by a local bank in Toronto that they can choose to finance their purchase:
1. 5-year fixed rate mortgage at 3.95% or
2. 5-year variable rate mortgage at prime minus 0.50%.
Hazel knows you are taking ADMS 3530 at York University and she has come to you for advice. Below are the questions she needs help with:
Questions:

a) How much will be the principal outstanding on the mortgage at the end of five years under the two options? (10 marks)

b) If Hazel and her fiancé decide to increase their bi-weekly payments by $50, how much sooner can they expect to be mortgage-free under both the scenarios? (10 marks)

Assume prime rate in Canada is 3.0%, mortgage payments are bi-weekly, amortization period is twenty-five years and interest rates stay at current levels over the next five years.

Steven asks…

TEENS: Would this story opening make you want to read on? How old would you say I am based on my writing style?

Would this story opening make you want to read on?
How old would you say I am based on my writing style (not the content or plot, the actual style)

This is just the beginning of chapter one. Its something I’m writing based on an idea from my 13-year-old cousin.

ONE
First Day

“It’s just until we find another placement, honey,” said my mother, turning to face me. “I promise you won’t be here for too long.”

I hoped she was right. The idea of going to a state school for more than a few weeks was terrifying. I was a private school girl, born and bred, with no idea of how to survive in such an institute as this. My hands clutched the seatbelt tightly.

“Mom, please don’t make me do this. Can’t we just get a home tutor like before, please? Or you could send us abroad. That’s what all the other Cloverfield kids are doing” I begged.

“No, Brianna. It’s all been sorted out, now. I will find you both a better school as soon as I can, but I’m really very busy right now with the business.”

“I don’t mind, mom,” said my twin brother, Brody. “Brie’s just being silly.”

“Silly?” I exclaimed. He clearly wasn’t aware of the seriousness of our situation. “Silly? Brody, don’t you know what happens to private school kids in state schools?”

“Um, they make friends, have a good time and live happily ever after?” he shrugged.

“No! They get eaten alive!”

Brody laughed. He definitely didn’t know of the realities of American schools. I’d watched every high school movie in preparation for this, and I’d come to the conclusion that we’d either be social outcasts or we’d be savaged by a mutant science teacher.

“Daddy!” I whined. That worked every time.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”

Except for this time.

“But, daddy! I can’t do this. I can’t go to state school. They’ll hate me. The smart kids and the new kids are always the pariahs, and I’m smart and new!” I cringed as I realised how boastful that sounded.

“Listen, sweetie, you know that I’ve tried. I tried to fund the rebuild of your old school after the arson attack, but the authorities wanted to build a mall in its place. I tried to apply to Walterson, but they only accept applications in the fall. I really did try,” he tried to reason with me.

I groaned. There was absolutely no way I was getting out of going to Caspar Hills High School. If I ever found out who burned down Cloverfield Prep, I would make them pay.

“Now come on, I need you two to hurry. Your mother and I need to pick out the colour scheme for the new restaurant chain.”

I stayed firmly put.

“I’ll buy you that encyclopaedia set thing that you’ve been wanting on my way back,” he said in a singsong voice.

Bribery was something that usually didn’t worked with me because I wasn’t into the same things as normal girls – make-up and clothes – but I knew that the encyclopaedias would make a fantastic addition to my reference library. Plus, I would probably need all the help I could get now I was in this place. After quickly checking my reflection in the mirror and running my hands through my long auburn locks, I unbuckled by seatbelt, and slowly opened the door. A crowd of people were standing around my father’s black Porsche, staring at it intently. I was always amazed by how kids were fascinated by expensive stuff.

Someone I recognised pushed their way through the crowd. “Brie?”

My heart leapt as soon as I saw the familiar tousled brown hair. “Jesse!” I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck. I was so pleased that I knew someone in this hell other than Brody. Jesse Daniels was Brody’s best friend. We’d known him since we were toddlers.

“Hey, Jesse,” Brody called appearing beside me.

“See, it’s not all bad here, darling,” my mother called from the car, “We’ll be back to pick you up at 3, okay? Love you!”

My father drove off before I had a chance to object. As soon as the car pulled away, the crowd surrounded me, talking at me. I couldn’t make any of it out, but it sure was giving me a headache.

“YO!” Jesse yelled. The crowd went silent. “Give the girl some space.” He pulled Brody and I away from the excited teens.

“Thanks, Jess.” I said, smoothing out my clothes.

“No problem, Brie. But, what are you guys doing here anyway? Community service?”

“Actually, no.” Brody told him, “Didn’t you hear? Cloverfield burned down. Someone torched the place.”

“Seriously? That’s harsh.”

“What’s harsher is that we’ve been sent to this dump” I said, gesturing towards the large stone building. “No offence,” I added as an afterthought.

“None taken.” Jesse grinned. He ran his hands through his hair as he looked around. “It looks like a dump, but it’s really not that bad. I mean, they don’t serve us lunch on silver platters …” he trailed off and smirked.

I gave him a playful shove. “You know they don’t do that at Cloverfield.”

“I know. I think you’ll like it here, Brie. I really do.
Basic plot:
Brianna and Brody’s private school is destroyed in a fire, and they are forced to move to the nearest public school – Caspar Hills High. Luckily, they already know Jesse Daniels, one of CHH’s pupils, and he teaches them the ins and outs of life at CHH. The principal puts Brianna on the student council, where she meets Hayden Evans, the most popular girl in school. She is surprisingly nice, and after Brianna gives her some tips, they become acquaintances (but not “friends”). She introduces Brianna to her long-term boyfriend Dexter Ward (CHH’s most popular boy) and his sister Aaryn Ward. Aaryn is unique and she and Brianna become good friends. Brianna becomes enemies with freshman Skylar Carnaby when Skylar gets her in trouble by cheating off her in a test. As punishment, Brianna has to do volunteer work for the spring showcase. There, she meets Nathaniel Carnaby – the gorgeous lead in the showcase and Skylar’s brother.
Basic Plot Continued:
There, she meets Nathaniel Carnaby – the gorgeous lead in the showcase and Skylar’s brother. When the showcase co-director quits, Brianna is chosen to be the replacement and Skylar tries to sabotage the showcase at every opportunity. Brianna is forced to deal with the stress of a being at a new school where she is basically pretty much a social outcast, running a showcase and falling for a boy who she believes is way too amazing to like her.
I used spell check. I live in the UK, and we spell words differently over here.
Suggestions?

Nagesh answers:

Looks all right, but it seems kind of generic. The characters are all very flat and two dimensional.

As a note, the “Authorities” as you say would have very little to say about what goes on with the land, because as a private school, the land is, well privately owned, and as such would probably not be traded off for a minimall, because it’s a great way for whosoever runs the school to make business connections with the local wealthy families. However reconstructing the school would take some time, depending on the size.

Also, as such, the Arson of such a building would cause a need for investigation. The investigation could even serve as a neat sideplot. Of course there’d need to be some sort of twist. Maybe Nathan’s in the employ of I dunno, a drug cartel, or involved with human trafficking, and the organization was using Cloverfield’s basement for some nefarious deeds. Or perhaps her brother was in the employ of the school’s owner, who when his business starts going under, torches the school for insurance money.

Or none of those things. Maybe it’s the vengeful spirit of a girl driven to suicide, or the school was built on an indian burial ground.

What I’m saying is you have a good base for your story broth, but you need to add some spices to either add new “flavors”, or accentuate those already there.

And just in case, yes that was a metaphor comparing making a soup and writing a story.

Also I’d say you’re somewhere between the ages of 12 and 17.

Helen asks…

How do I find a travel agent to assist me in my online business?

My wife and I will be launching an online business very soon to take advantage of the growth in the trend of homebased travel agents. However, I need someone with travel agent experience to help with training and support of new travel agents. When I search online for “hire a travel agent” there are plenty of travel agents who sell travel products and services. But I cannot find any that want employment (I can do this for most other occupations…like “hire an accountant”).

The travel agent I hire simply needs to have a desire to help people. They would simply answer questions from new travel agents about the best way to book travel. They do not need to relocate (they can work from home) or quit their job.

How do I find a person who meets this description?

Nagesh answers:

I havent been a travel agent professionally, however I am a 21 year old college student who travels frequently. I am keen at making affordable deals and quality for the buck. Mother was working with several airlines as a reservationist, so have hands-on-knowledge. If interested email me for more info.

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

Mary asks…

Can someone help with Statistics problem?

Based on a survey of 140 employed persons in a city, the mean and standard deviation of the commuting distances between home and the principal place of business are found to be 8.6 and 3.7 miles, respectively. Determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean commuting distance for the population of all employed persons in the city.
Round endpoints to two decimal places.

Confidence Interval = ( _____, _____) miles

Correct Answer receives Best Answer!

Thanks!

Nagesh answers:

N000 –

Here you want to “capture” the true population mean with 90% confidence, so using the formula for confidence intervals:

mean +/- (z*)(sample s.d.), where z* is the Normal z-values for 5% in each tail (+/- 1.645)

8.6 +/- (1.645)[3.7 / sqrt(140)]

8.6 +/- 0.5144 = [8.0856, 9.1144] miles

Hope that helps!

P.S. – did you say you had another problem related to 99% confidence interval? Give me the link and I’ll check it out if I have time

Sandy asks…

Buying a home in San Diego?

We have been offered the opportunity to go in on a home purchase.
Here is the tricky part, our best friends are willing to put the down on the home & we will be the signers. We will live there, pay the mortgage, make some improvements & then when the time comes, sell the house. So their offer is based on making a profit in the end.
We have rented for 14 years & figure we will be doing the same here though unsure on how to approach the whole ‘share the profit’ outcome.
My husband feels we should not do this cuz mixing business with friend/family is never a good decision but what do you think?
We should in the long run be co owners & share in the profit based on what type of improvements are done and if those profits should be 60/40% or what do you believe is fair/correct?
Thank you, i really want to try this but husband is VERY hesitant.

Accounting software for small business?

Which accounting software is best to use for a small business which can track inventory and also automatically create custome invoices based on orders input. Right now we track orders and create invoices in Excel and track our financials with Quicken Home & Small Business. But it would be better if we could automate some of the process and not spend as much time manually updating items.

Go with Quickbooks Pro (not simple start or standard) and don’t waste your money on Premier. Pro can do the same thing but may take a bit of extra set up. Invest the extra money in a good bookkeeper to set it up for you.

Betty asks…

isn’t this the best of all solutions to immigration,economy and society?please read the following 😕

because you care about your country and believe in the rule of law you think that the “only solution to illegal immigration is either deport ALL 12 million illegals or CUT ALL public services so they ALL self deport”….but you know neither is realistically possible.and as a result your”only solution “will not happen and the goals you’re seeking will not be achieved…
.It’s more intelligent to change the reasoning a bit and that will serve the best of your goals as an anti immigrant who wants to reduce to the minimum possible any negative consequences related to the existence of 12 million illegals in the US.
Let’s be logic ..you are anti illegal immigrant for legitimate reasons that you often don’t declare,including many of the following:the facts that many(not all)illegal immigrants have entered illegally,or don’t have a proven ID to make sure of their background,or are little or not educated,or have no promising potential,or are unready or unable to adapt,or are unwilling or unable to learn or speak english,or engage in substandard ways of living or social habits,or tend for whatever reasons to get into unplanned marriages and poorly planned births ,or overburden the public services,and many other tendencies related to stress,selfishness,low self esteem,indifference,instability,low education,culture etc.
All these problems that frustrate you will not go away nor decrease if people ignore the whole issue or insist only on extreme ideal “solutions”that everybody knows will not happen..(everybody says it’s inapplicable to deport 12 millions…and by the time you succeed in cutting ALL services to push them to self deport,they are already 14 millions,isn’t that counter productive?)
THE BEST SOLUTION :>support a SELECTIVE immigration reform by cathegory based on a veriety relevant criteria to classify immigrants individually according to what they are and how they behaved and how close they are to the good standards,and treat them accordingly;for example :exclude all criminals,implement stiffer punitive measures and burdens and fines and compulsory programs(community service,orclasses,or 1 year waiting out of the US..)to the following categories:those who entered illegally,or don’t have any provable ID,or lived in the US for less than 3 years ,or married an illegal alien ,or have children with an illegal alien ,or overused public services,or have low education,or fail english test,or can’t prove any meaningful skill or talent,or have a history of delinquencies,or drive without licence…On the other hand support a lenient treatment and an easier path for those undocumented immigrants with better points of merit or clearly did an effort to remain closer to good standards ,that includes those who at least entered legally,or are able to prove their identity,have some good educational level,or pass an english test,or have some meaningful skill and potential,or avoided to marry or have children with an illegal alien,or generally remained mindful of good social standards while living in the US.

ON THE ECONOMIC LEVEL such a solution will allow a financial mobility in spending,shopping,travel,by easing the stress and reclusive habits that push many immigrants to avoid spending,keep jobs for long periods,and avoid travel.
BESIDES a significant number of illegal immigrants will travel home for some period to visit or take a break or under a mandatory punitive law for certain categories with the lowest criteria….this will stimulate the travel business and vacate many jobs and relax the work behavior of many illegal immigrants who often maintain jobs even under the harshest exploitation..
LAST: this social relaxation has the potential of cutting many negative behaviors and habits like unplanned marriages and multiple births and abuse of social benefits and rent cramming by making the individual less stressed and consequently more ready to spend,learn ,respect the standards and avoid desperate thinking that results in anarchic habits(like the rush to randominter illegal marriages and multiple children that end up as poor babies supported by society,or the danger of driving without license,or living in crowded rentals ..or the anonymity of dangerous law breakers.)

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR .PLEASE COMMENT.

Nagesh answers:

The best of all solution to illegal immigration, is for illegals to comply with the laws just like everybody must do. Deport them all back to Mexico and let Mexico do the above.Quit trying to alter our laws to accommodate illegals, in doing so , this encourages more illegals to come here.They think if the illegals before us got everything, they wanted, so can we, we all must remain patient and soon they will hand us everything for free. Why pay to come here legally, when coming here illegally actually provides greater rewards and benefits, such as free college educations, free medical care, free school breakfasts, lunches, take home meals, do not have to pay taxes.Best solution is deport them all back to Mexico. Granted, there are some poor and starving that come to the USA from Mexico for a better life, but according to real statistics, most are just good capitalists looking for a bigger, better deal.

Best way to advertise my business?

I currently work in IT, and have done for a good few years. I have a part time (At the moment) Company, we design, supply and install Professional Home Cinema Systems. Home Cinema’s have been a passion of mine for many many years, and I am happy to say I know more then most claiming professionals, and my team and I have a specific care for detail with everything we do. Prices ranging from £10,000 so at the higher end of the market.

I will be made redundant in the 31st March and instead of getting another job I would prefer to be able to just stay my own boss and go full-time with my company. So I want to push advertising, I was thinking of designing a nice A5 flyer and getting around 5 thousand printed, delivered to the wealthier area’s around were we are based.

Do you think this a A5 Flyer will be good enough to attract a customer onto our website? www.avdiscovery.co.uk or do you think I may need some better idea’s?

I really like the idea of a clever Ad. But at the moment I have to save a lot of money because of the redundancy. So something also cheap… Let me know your thoughts and idea’s and will be good to see what you say.

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

George asks…

Write a brief argument to persuade based on the conclusion:?

Write a brief argument to persuade based on the conclusion: Families who lost their homes due to foreclosure should be allowed to live in the homes rather than allowing homes to deteriorate.

Edit the one i created- please make it a flawless argument – first good answer = best answer

The goal of any business is to make a profit. Since a bank is a business, its main goal is to make a profit. When a bank lends money for a family to purchase a home it attempts to make a profit by charging interest and receives recurring payments from the family. When these payments are not made, a home may go into foreclosure. Foreclosure is the bank’s way of trying to secure their investment to ensure that profit is gained and money is not lost, by selling the home as soon as possible. Often times these empty homes depreciate in value because they no longer have any upkeep. Damage from weather, vagrants, accidents and many other occurrences plague these empty homes. The resale value and selling ability of the home itself is decreased. This causes the bank to earn less money, decreasing profit margins. Therefore, Families who lost their homes due to foreclosure should be allowed to live in their homes rather than allowing their homes to deteriorate.

Nagesh answers:

I would suggest something like this:

“Once the bank takes ownership of the home, it sometimes takes months for the house to be inspected and re-sold. Meanwhile, the home is not maintained, causing the potential for pests, rodents, and an overgrowth of foliage. These pests may also find their way to the neighboring homes, causing property losses to them as well. Rather than allow this to occur, families who are in dire financial straits should be allowed to reside in their homes, as they have the ability to maintain it.”

I hope this helps!

Chris asks…

What do you think of this idea in terms of energy policy for the US?

First the government would invest in private companies, small businesses, and startups to commision them all to produce home based power. Now home based power is what I think could be a reality in the near future. This means that each home using a combination of technology would be able to produce its own power for its own needs. And this could be done through everything from wind to solar, although solar would be the best bet for such a move. Then the government would also invest in an upgrade of the power grid. This power grid would be a “smart” grid that would treat each home like a hub that supplies energy across a network. Even though each home would power for its own uses, it would also help power other homes and areas as well with any excess it produces or does not use. This smart grid could also then utilize nuclear power plants as secondary backup and supplementary systems that run in unison with home based power systems. The smart grid would also be interactive, meaning it would compensate for brownouts and black outs through the power grid interface.

Talking points:
– Small and private businesses could hire employees to run neighborhood networks of the power grid if say people create communities that have decided to work together beyond the original design of the grid.

-The government would regulate the nuclear plants with oversight commitees to make sure waste is properly disposed of.

– Homes and people could buy better power generation systems that produce more power that could then be sold to power companies that they would then use for backups.

– Decentralizing power plants and giving more control to consumers and businesses on their needs and uses.

What do you think?

Nagesh answers:

I’d would much rather have government get out of the way and keep it’s fingers out of areas where they have no business. Americans are known to solve problems, and American businesses try to get two dollar’s worth of value out of every dollar. Government, on the other hand, is the source of nearly all our problems and tries to get a half dollar worth of every dollar they steal from our pockets.

Sharon asks…

Should I get my credential or open my own home daycare?

I am in my senior year of college and will be getting my degree in liberal studies which is basically elementary education. I had been planning on getting my teaching credential however the more I learn about the public school system the less I want to be a teacher. The main focus seems to be on the wrong thing. It seems to be on test scores and not on students and helping them learn the best way we can. Everything is based on test scores to the point that children who need extra help are being overlooked and thought of as an inconvience which is so wrong. But teachers jobs are at risk if their test scores aren’t up to certain standards because the school’s funding is based on test scores. It’s all so backwards and upsetting.

So I have been thinking that instead of getting my credential like I was planning I could open my own home daycare. I love kids and want to have a good impact in their lives and this seems like a great alternative way to do that without having to deal with all the issues and politics of being a teacher. I have made pros and cons lists and discussed with my husband and my mom but I wanted to get an outside perspective. Another factor is that I am legally blind. I can see well enough to live a normal life except that I can’t drive so working from home would really be an ideal situation for both me and my husband. I also love the idea of having my own business. Anyway I would appreciate any perspectives you are willing to give.

Thank you! : D

Oh also I have lots of experience working with kids and I love it so that’s not a factor or issue.

Nagesh answers:

I think you should own your own day care.
I think it would be a very rewarding job.
If you ever want to have your own kids or if u already have some you can always enroll them into your daycare and you can be with your kids and be working at the same time.
Hope i helped!

Mark asks…

Question regarding cost of HVAC unit installed in old home?

I received 4 quotes form local HVAC installers…all checked out fine with BBB and have been in this business for years…all recommended by others. Equal footing for all.
My house is 1800 sqft, one level, full basement and insulated crawlspace and walk up attic. All quotes were for 3 ton units including ductwork. Some recommended fiberglass duct, others sheetmetal…any opinions on either?
One guy quoted $7500 for Trane variable speed Heatpump ($6800 just A/C)
Another for same Trane, just A/C was $8500
One for Carrier Comfort 13 Heatpump(Base model) for $10400
The last was also Carrier base for $12000.

As you see, it’s all over the board. Of course I’m considering the Trane HP for $7500…does this sound like the best bang for my buck? I live in Eastern PA and only use A/C 3-4 mos ayear at most…minimal use. He also uses fiberglass ductboard as the main trunk…I’ve heard good and bad…does it really matter?
Thanks

Nagesh answers:

Trane products are manufactured by American Standard Companies and rated very high by Consumer Reports. Carrier products are rated less.
The new duct board is fine. The older versions had issues. Duct board is an easier install for the technicians so it takes a little less labor. The price of $7500 variable speed with heat pump is very good.
I had a total system installed last summer, American Standard V/S with 14 SEER heatpump. I have my HP set so when the outside temp drops below 34 degrees it switches to my nat gs v/s furnace.
Had a good year with it, reduced my gas consumption and received a lower rate from the electric company due to the heat pump. Overall consumption was down as were my bills.
My trunk line and return is duct board with metal supplies.
The difference is prices is the dealers markup. Carrier sounds high if they are all quoting on same size etc.
Each dealer uses their own markup…..that is why 2 Trane dealers are priced differently. Ask about manufactures warranties and dealers personal warranty etc. The heat exchangers on all products should have a lifetime warranty.
Have fun and good luck.

Nagesh answers:

What ever you may decide to pursue as a career, make sure that it is what you are really interested in, not how much money you can make. There are many rich people out there who are very unhappy, since the old adage that “money cannot buy happiness” is a true one indeed. And life, in general, is unpredictable. Things change unexpectedly, and the economy is a fickle thing, to be sure. We are born, live and learn and eventually die…make sure that you leave something ( not necessarily money, but if that would be the case, use it for the advancement of useful endevours) that can be construed as a legacy and can be utilized by future generations as educational and useful to society as a whole. True satisfaction in any job comes from knowing that you have advanced both your learning experience and made a difference in the world, sometimes without even knowing it. Make certain that your work is productive to the advancement of humanity. You will have many opportunities in your college experiences that will mold your outlook on both yourself and others. Many students change their majors in regards to their experiences. I wish you the very best in your quest. God Bless You.

Nagesh answers:

I’m a recruiter, other than a few entry level jobs like a cashier at a mall/dept store you have pretty much ruled everything else out based on what you don’t like. You should really do some research on-line There’s not many jobs where you don’t sell, but don’t have to sit all day or deal w/a telephone most if not all day. The few jobs I can think of require a degree and you said you want a job ASAP. Look at jobs and job duties on-line that will be your best bet. Maybe look at government jobs or dietary or teacher assistant jobs – but those aren’t always readly available. Good luck!

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

Nagesh answers:

Take a career test at a community college. It is given free. And the career counselor will advise you.

Linda asks…

What kind of SmartPhone is right for me?

I’d like some unbiased opinions about which type of SmartPhone would be best for my needs. I run a small, homebased, knowledge-oriented service business. Most of the time, I’m at my desk (and desktop PC), but when I go out, I would like to be able to do the following: (1) read and reply to the e-mail I receive through my usual account, which I normally access through Outlook; I want my clients to know that I’m “there” for them; I don’t want to have to use a Web-based e-mail service while I’m in “mobile” mode; (2) make maybe 1 or 2 calls a day–most of my clients e-mail me rather than call me, so calling is mostly for personal use, which isn’t a big necessity anyway, since I work from home and my wife is usually there with me; (3) I’ve never found texting to be of much use–actually, I don’t even own a DumbPhone at this point and have therefore never gotten into the texting thing–e-mail has always worked for me; (4) I suppose it would be handy to browse the Web from my SmartPhone, though I can’t see myself doing much of that–once again, I’m not in the habit of doing so when away from my office, so maybe that would change once I discovered how useful it is to be able to browse for a restaurant when I’m hungry.
My big internal debate is whether to go for the fun-looking (but toy-oriented) iPhone, an Android-based device or a BlackBerry. Sure, it would be nice to have the added goodies like an integrated media player and agenda and what-not, but as far as I know, pretty much all devices have this now.
Thanks in advance for an unbiased, balanced reply (Apple lovers in particular need not apply).
Oops, I forgot to mention: I refuse to purchase a SIM-locked phone! I travel abroad regularly and need to be able to pop in a local SIM card when I get there. In case it matters, I’m in Canada where Rogers is the main GSM provider (I would need a GSM-compatible phone when in Europe). I know I can now buy a non-SIM-locked iPhone directly from Apple if I’m willing to pay the full price, which I am. To my understanding, Android-based phones tend not to be SIM-locked anyway, are they?

Nagesh answers:

Just a heads up, in case it can help you out – there are sites out there what are looking for people to test out the new iPhone 4G and provide reviews, and then they let the testers keep the new iPhone for free. You may want to look into that

Nagesh answers:

Based solely on the information you gave, a career working in law enforcement might be appropriate. You could work as an investigator or criminologist. That type of career would incorporate most of the things you listed. You would have to decide if the risks associated with that field are okay with you. Also, most of those types of jobs require some type of college degree (depending on where you live, you could get away with just a 2-year associates degree). Good luck in your hunt.

Nagesh answers:

You list a lot of things that seem to indicate an interest in things like investigative reporting, although you will need to overcome things like public speaking, . Your ‘don’t like list’ puts you in contention with the overall list.Since you plan to attend college, there are courses such as public speaking, and biology. I think you will have a hard time with any position because there always controls, stress, down time,and a starting salary of $45,000 per year? You will be lucky to start out at $32,000 or less. Entry level jobs are low paying unless you have qualifications that are in demand. College will give you that if you choose well.If yiou want fun and travel then become a cruise director on a holiday ship.

Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

Mandy asks…

What is the best program/software to design a web page that changes photos frequently?

What is the best web page design program for regularly updating and deleting photos with descriptions?
I’m starting a home based business and will need to create a web page. My Inventory will be changing frequently, so I need something that allows me to post pictures of new inventory and delete sold inventory on a fairly regular basis. What would be the best program to do this for a beginner?
Thank you in advance!

Nagesh answers:

You can use dreamwaver. You can also try joomla, wordpress to make your website. For the beginner my suggestion is wordpress.

Daniel asks…

What am I doing wrong on Yahoo! Answers?

For the past few weeks, I’ve been posting thoughtful, relevant answers to a variety of question people have posted here, primarily in the area of business. Yet several of my answers have been “reported by the Yahoo! Answers community” and removed, apparently for violating the community guidelines. One of the answers that was reported and removed had actually been cited as the best answer to that particular question – rather curious, I’d say.

So I receive all these emails telling me my answers have been removed, but no specifics as to why my answers were in violation. That makes absolutely no sense. Can you imagine being arrested by a policeman for committing an unspecified crime?

I’m the editor and publisher of a website about business – home based business, to be precise. I cite that fact, along with a link to my website, in the resource box provided at the end of each answer. I’ve been involved with home based business in various capacities for almost 25 years, so I have some knowledge and expertise in this area. I think my answers to date reflect that.

I began posting in Yahoo! Answers with the idea that some people might check out my site and benefit further from the information that’s provided there. In return for that possibility, I provide thoughtful, relevant answers to people’s business related questions.

I don’t specifically ask people to visit my site. In fact, here’s exactly what I put in the resource box:

“As Editor and Publisher at http://www.homebased-business-school.com, Bob Ford helps home based entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and goals.”

Hyperbole? I don’t think so.

Can someone who has been here for a while please give me some insight as to what the problem might be?

Nagesh answers:

Well, OK … I’ve been here awhile.

Posting a link IN YOUR ANSWER to your own site, and self-promotion, are indeed considered spamming/solicitation.

What you can do, if you wish, is to post the site link and the bio information in your Y!A profile. You can point users toward your profile (and your site) by mentioning that more information is available there, but you cannot ADVERTISE on the site itself. You could say, in your answer, ‘I have helped home-based entrepreneurs … ‘, but to speak of yourself in the third person indicates that you are pushing a product or service and that you are using Yahoo! Answers for free advertising.

Honestly I would not bother appealing any of those deletions. Other users’ ranting and misinformation aside, the likelihood of winning on appeal is virtually nil.

Steven asks…

Computer Recommendations?

What is the best time to post computer related Qs to get the most answers?
Late last night I posted a Q asking for recommendations for a Home based writing / publishing business and got only one response……
I am hoping more people will respond this morning OR do most people only respond to live Qs – and not a few hours old from previous night???
thanks

Nagesh answers:

The best time to post is 8AM to 4PM east coast time… Everyone’s at work and not working!!!! WOOT i love America lol

Linda asks…

Best site to buya web domain?

I’m looking for a site that to buy a web domain for a small business for work at home moms. What site would you suggest based on price especially?

Nagesh answers:

If you are looking to just buy a domain then http://www.godaddy.com is a great option. If you are seeking web hosting options as well, then I suggest you take a look at several. Most web hosts will register your domain as part of a package. If you are looking to build a site on your own then there are some great options out there. There are a few great web hosts that will guide you through the process. To get the best fit for you when it comes to web hosting, first compare feature-by-feature then dollar-for-dollar. Not only will that ensure the best fit but, you will get the most out of your money too. You can take a look at the web host that I chose as one of your options at http://www.customized-by-you.com

BEST WISHES!

Work in a polotical office, you dont have to run for office or anything but computer knowledge is a must, you will work w/ others, will meet a lot of people, things will always be changing, you will do investigating when working on a constituents issue to find ways to resolve it, you do talk on the phone some but not all day, it can be stressful during “session” but during non session times its slow and peaceful.
