Part of the interview process is you, the hiring manager, getting to know the candidates. However, the candidates also need to get to know the company. That's why there's a time for them to ask questions. When an interviewee asks you about obstacles in the way of the company's profitability, they are trying to ascertain what might stop the company from growing. This will give them an idea of where the company is headed. Does it fit in with their career goals Chances are, if a candidate is asking this question, they want to know if this company will be a long-term fit for their career.
Points to Emphasize
When you answer this question, there are certain facts that you want to make sure to highlight. You want to do this so that you can give the job-seekers the most realistic view of your company as possible.
- Briefly talk about possible obstacles to company's growth.
- Discuss plans the company has in place to make it through those obstacles if applicable.
- Otherwise, talk about ways the company is trying to plan.
- Be realistic about your answers.
Telling them the obstacles you see getting in the way of the company's growth will give them an idea of how they can help the business succeed.
Mistakes You Should Avoid
Just as there are certain facts to highlight, there are also certain pitfalls you want to keep away from.
- Do not give a negative answer.
- Try not to bad mouth any person or the company.
- Be careful that you do not divulge any sensitive information. This person is not yet a member of your team.
- Don't give an answer that is too vague or that may seem evasive.
Give the best answer that you can. Try and be positive and informative.
Sample Answer
Here is an example of what a great answer might look like:
As the company continues to grow, it gets harder and harder to maintain an efficient and effective transportation regimen. I think that one of the obstacles we will face is with our logistics. Right now we do everything in house, but I think eventually we will have to find someone in the logistics industry to take over. The company has discussed doing this. Right now we're still okay doing it in house, but soon we will have to seriously consider outsourcing that to make sure we are reliably getting our goods to the customers.
Make sure to give them an answer that doesn't make it seem like the company is doomed, but don't pretend there are not obstacles.

Will You Be My Bridesmaid Care Packages

So obviously, the folks in our wedding party were a vital part of everything. I wanted to do something special for my bridesmaids before the wedding, so I put together this care package for them. Being the Nike weirdo that I am, I was first inspired by a pair of sneakers (in particular the ones on the top left). Bring on the blues.

A Summer Wedding in Vermont
Originally posted on Sadie's Been There:
Newport, VT Last weekend I visited West Charleston, VT for the wedding of a childhood friend. Until last week the only weddings I'd been part of were those of my parents' friends and aunts and uncles. Now, quite suddenly, weddings within my cohort are taking my schedule by storm. This Vermont wedding was the first of four I'll attend this summer alone, and everyone getting married in these weddings is within my age-range. I have been both honored and anxious to be included in everyone's celebrations. It's admittedly been a little challenging going from zero to sixty, and to transition from never having glimpsed a wedding registry to navigating the world of shower and wedding gifts, weekender travel details, and resisting over-committing. What I will say is that this wedding in Charleston was an incredible experience to kick start many years to come of wedding festivities. Vermont is gorgeous year-round, but the beautiful blue skies in combination with the intense green of the leaves and the clear mountain air provided an excellent little window into Charleston…

This weekend has seen us at the Museum, hiding from the heat, and also my neighbour has been cleaning out his ancient shed. So we have been mingling with 'old things' as I have been calling them.
Melbourne Museum's display of kitchenalia, I had ramekins just like these but they were trashed in my sharehouse days.
John Rodriguez's textile designs from the 60's. I'm coveting that apple tea towel.
Medals on rather splendid ribbons.
And here we have the stash from Dan, my neighbour. He and his sister Kate live next door in their Great Aunt's old house. They recently sold it and are now cleaning it all out, and we have managed to come away with some really amazing treats. The house still has embossed wallpaper and floral carpet from the 1940's, the kitchen and bathroom are original, they even have an old Kelvinator fridge from the 50's. It's too good, like walking onto a set.
Check out not only my fabulous new nail colour, but also this teeny feather. Aw shucks.
A comprehensive list of tartans. I wish us Greenwoods had a tartan.
Tins, tins and more tins! The tobacco ones still have that particular smell, the brush on the far right is a beauty, and I'm guessing from the amount of Laxettes tins that they could have done with some prunes....
Old pickle jars with bakelite lids, metal measuring tape, enamelled soap dishes, old door handles, enamelled mugs, phew, we also have old brooms, rakes, seeds saved over the years, clothes drying racks, linen cupboard, an upholstered armchair, shoe polishing brushes, embroidery scissors, padlocks, woodworking tools, saws - it's just as well I am not planning on moving house anytime soon.
I have been thinking of my Grandpa, his shed smelled just the same, of oil, rust, cardboard, timber and dust. Wishing that I had known my Grandpa better, and thinking that no matter how treasured the objects, they lose a certain something once they are removed from their original setting.

I didn't know I had so many hats until I finished this project. I first laid everything out in my CAD program. So I knew the lengths to make the planks, the spacing between the planks (so there would be equivalent gaps between the each of the racks on the walls) and the location of the Wood Shaker pegs along the planks (so they were evenly spaced).
The base planks were composed of 2 layers of 3/4 inch maple, eventually glued together. I recently went to Home Depot to get the maple and I don't know about your store, but the ones around here have stopped selling maple lumber. I think they still sell walnut, oak, poplar and definitely pine. Fortunately, I had a long piece of bone dry 8/4 rough maple that I jointed, resawed and planed, all done by machine, but still a PIA compared to purchasing it from Home Depot. I had to use maple as the coat racks that are positioned underneath the new hat racks were made from maple a number of years ago and I wanted to keep the same look.
I purchased maple "3-1/2 inch Premium Maple Wood Shaker Pegs" from www.caseyswood.com. The Shaker pegs were $.30 each a little over 2 years ago, now they are $0.48 each. Which honestly is still a very good deal based on the quality of their product and the time it would take me to make one, never mind the 29 of them I need for the hat racks.
I cut slits in the dowel portion of the Shaker pegs and tapped wedges into the slots from the back to ensure the pegs didn't come out over time. Chris Schwarz has a good video online for 2 ways of making wedges. I used his technique of using the band saw, but did it freehand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enA10Qh4qEQ).
I used these keyhole hangers from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DMSXZEY/ ($27.20 for 100 of them) to hang the hat racks on the wall. Amazon doesn't carry those specific keyhole hangers anymore, but these look similar: https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Keyhole-Hangers-Screws/dp/B01FMO0LA2/ The keyhole hangers worked well and are quite robust. You need to be precise in matching the hole position with the screw on the wall for it to work properly.
General Finishes water-based "Espresso" colored stain for the Shaker Pegs (I wanted to match the black metal hooks on the copat rack and handles on the cabinets in the Mud Room). I used Minwax Prestain conditioner, then Minwax "Golden Oak 210B" stain on the maple planks. After I started doing the stain, it dawned on me that I should probably put tape on the top surface of the lower plank, an area where I wanted to apply glue to adhere to the back of the upper plank (which was never stained). So I had to carefully sand the center portion of the top plank after staining to ensure a good glue bond. After the plank glue-up, I applied a shellac finish later followed up with paste wax. It all came out fine in the end, but I'm not happy about the finish. I wish I had seen Boxguy's recent entry regarding his tissue boxes ( http://lumberjocks.com/projects/364809 ). Boxguy was kind enough to write down in detail his technique for finishing the tissue boxes and I think it is vastly superior to anything I have done up to now – look for it in the "Comments" section of the aforementioned project.
When I went to hang these new hat racks, I had to take the coats off of the rack located underneath so they didn't get any dust on them. The coats had hidden so many of my hats that I was shocked at how many hats I owned and thought, "hey I'd like to wear this one" and "oh… so I didn't lose it", etc.
I'm glad I did the project and for the first time I can remember, this was a project that didn't greatly exceed my expectations of the time it would take to complete.

Nice project. Looks good. Works great. Lotta words.
Nice to know: "3-1/2 inch Premium Maple Wood Shaker Pegs" from www.caseyswood.com.
Where'd you get the coat hooks?

"Lotta words." Ha! Yes, I think the post may have more written words than most. But, I in my defense I wanted to explain the project thoroughly in case someone wanted to duplicate it. I get a lot of ideas from this site and want to return the favor.
It was at least 5 or 6 years ago, but I think I got the coat hooks from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Liberty-5-1-5-in-Flat-Black-Ball-End-Coat-and-Hat-Hook-B46305C-FB-C/202066943
Looks like you can also get them from Amazon for a little less cost per each coat hook: https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Brass-FBCHHB5-FB-C-Black-5-Pack/dp/B01LZ50QYI/
BTW – The coat rack is even easier to make and mount than the hat rack because you can screw directly through the maple planks of the coat rack to the underlying studs behind the drywall. Then you place a coat rack hook over that recessed screw secured to the stud and the coat rack hook covers that screw perfectly. The only issue is you have to be sure to figure out the location of the studs and make the spacing of the coat racks so that they line up and it doesn't look haphazard.
-- You can't fail if you don't give up.

Yakyman, Nice post. When you set about making a hat rack you are serious about it. So just how many hats can you put on these Shaker pegs? I like the look.
This link will take readers directly to my best explanation of how I apply finish to my boxes. I use patience and a 10 cent foam brush from Hobby Lobby.
(Lumber Jocks all speak two languages…words and pictures.)
Thanks for the shout out. Let me know how this finish technique works, or doesn't work for you. I am always trying to improve my techniques and explanations.

When we were little, tiny tuna melts on ritz crackers were a favorite after school snack. I'm not sure how my mom thought up such an ingenious little creation but it was the best…the only problem was that inevitably I would bite into the tiny tuna melt before it was cool enough and the cheese would char the roof of my mouth. Every time.
In those days, it was american cheese and ritz crackers with a can of bumble bee tuna…and it's still pretty close now. What's changed you ask? Well, first of all, we are starkist family…don't know why, but it's one of the grocery items that I'm super brand loyal to.
The cheese has gotten a wee bit more sophisticated (and by wee bit, i really mean just a bit). Beyond that, they are the same tiny tuna melts of my past…and I'm really excited to share them with you.
Before we jump into the recipe there's one more thing to address…the tuna fish.
We are pretty pure about the way that we make our tuna. It's simply chunk white tuna from the can (not solid, purely a texture thing around here), miracle whip or mayonnaise (yes, I make both because it's one of the things that we will never compromise on in our marriage, and no, I won't tell you who likes what). Mix it up well, and voila, tuna fish.
"This post may contain affiliate links, which means I receive a small commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase using this link."
What kind of cheese works best for a tiny tuna melt?
While my mom used to use the classic american cheese slices that she would break into quarters so that they fit on the crackers, that's not what I use today. Mostly because we don't keep that kind of cheese in the house. Well, that and it ALWAYS charred the roof of my mouth.
Now, I tend to favor cheddar slices. There is something about the orange cheese on the cracker that is just perfectly nostalgic…and it tastes good. My kids don't mind sharp cheddar, so that's my go to, but any type of cheddar will work.
You can also mozzarella slices, gouda, or swiss, but my favorite is the cheddar. If you don't have sliced cheese in the house, feel free to use shredded cheese, you'll just have to be a bit more careful when you are putting it on the tiny tuna melts.
Can you use a different kind of cracker?
Sure you can, but why would you want to 😉. The classic ritz cracker is perfectly butter, doesn't get too burnt in the toaster and is the perfect size for these tiny tuna melts. They can be eaten in one bite (by adults) or two or three (by the munchkins) and perfectly compliment almost anything you put on top.
You can definitely pick a generic cracker in the same vein as regular ritz crackers. I happen to also like the Trader Joe's version. I've not tried this recipe on gluten free crackers, but I bet there is one out there that would work. I just really like the buttery, salty goodness of a classic ritz cracker, but as always, use what you have and keep it simple!
How do you make tiny tuna melts?
Making tiny tuna melts is really as simple as 1, 2, 3!
Make the tuna. Make it however your family likes to eat tuna. You like celery, add it in. They like hard boiled eggs in there, go for it! Someone makes it with avocado instead of mayo, enjoy it your way 🙂 The best part is that the tuna can be made ahead of time! I like to make it in the morning while the kids are having breakfast, so I can make these for an after school snack. Sometimes, as part of meal prepping, I'll make a few cans of tuna over the weekend so it's ready for tiny tuna melts, big tuna melts, or a regular tuna sandwich when we need it.
Assemble the tiny sandwiches. You'll put a small scoop of tuna onto the ritz cracker and then top with a piece of cheese. Make a whole bunch and line them up on the toaster oven tray for a small batch or a baking sheet if you are feeding a crowd.
Then, bake. You'll want to bake them for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees (till the cheese gets melty) and then pop them under the broiler for 30-60 seconds so that cheese can get a little bit browned…just don't want to burn the crackers!
That's it, make tuna, assemble sandwich, bake and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
- This is a great recipe to get the kids involved in. They can help every step of the way from mixing the tuna, to putting it on to the crackers, selecting the cheese, etc. Involved gets are likely to be less picky, since they are proud to eat what they make.
- I love making these for lunch on the weekend. Serve them with other finger foods and let everyone eat appetizer style. You could do ants on a log, mini quiches, mini muffins, cucumber rounds, etc.
- Making a big batch of these for a crowd…awesome! Just lay them out on a baking sheet and make them in the big oven instead of the toaster…boom, 20 tiny tuna melts done at one time 👏

- Yield: 24 servings 1x
- Category: snack
- Method: baking
- Cuisine: american
tiny tuna melts make the perfect after school snack or quick and simple lunch.
- 2 cans of tuna (prepared as you like)
- 24 ritz crackers (or crackers of similar shape/size)
- 4 oz of cheddar cheese (slices or shredded)
- preheat oven to 375 degrees
- prepare tuna fish the way you like
- in our house that tuna fish and either mayo or miracle whip (about 1/8 cup per can?
- mix it all up and voila, tuna fish
- lay crackers out on your cooking tray, either a baking sheet or toaster oven tray (depends on how many you want to make)
- scoop about 1/2 tablespoon of tuna onto each cracker (I like to use this small cookie scoop for the job)
- cover each cracker/tuna combo with cheese, either shredded or with small piece of a cheese slice
- bake at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, but the cracker isn't burning.
- enjoy!
pro-tip: don't eat them straight from the oven, you will surely burn the roof of your mouth with the melted cheese…trust me!
you can easily make the tuna ahead of time and then just assemble these crackers and bake "to order". I keep tuna fish in the fridge for up to five days.
if there are leftovers, you can store them in tupperware and eat them the next day…fair warning – they cracker will be soggy, but I have a 4 year old who says they are just as good cold the next day…but i'll leave it up to you.
Want to make these now? Are you missing some ingredients? Amazon Now can get them to you in a few hours, Instacart can get them to you today. Or add them to your Peapod grocery list and don't be stuck without them again!


text: We saw it this week: footage on TV and social media of Soweto residents looting foreign-owned spaza shops. It was ostensibly a protest against the proliferation of fake and expired foods that many, including the national health department, have accused these shops of selling. But why then did the looters emerge from those stores with trolleys and bags full of goods that probably included the fake and expired foods they accuse these shop owners of selling?A possible answer to this question is a phenomenon City Press has been reporting on for months: hunger.Earlier this year poverty research organisation Pietermaritzburg Justice and Dignity Group warned it was only a matter of time before the poor and hungry revolted against the high cost of food.Then, in July, the organisation's lead researcher Julie Smith told City Press that price increases occasioned by the recent 1 percentage point increase in VAT meant the poor "buy less protein-rich foods, which are important for children, as they prioritise cheaper staple foods, such as mealiemeal, sugar and flour".Crucially, Smith said protests – including service delivery strikes – needed to be viewed as a complaint that people were not able to afford food. "These protests are not articulated that way because it is a huge shame and embarrassment that one cannot put food on the table," Smith said.Two weeks ago the organisation's research found that poor families have been cutting down on buying proper nutritious food by as much as 26% and need another R1 062.38 a month to be able to afford it.(The situation has been exacerbated by the VAT increase which Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane told the SA Revenue Service inquiry this week would not have happened if suspended commissioner Tom Moyane and his staff had done their jobs.)The poor and the hungry are soft targets for unscrupulous manufacturers who think nothing about falsifying trusted brands and potentially poisoning the public. It must take an extra-callous criminal to fake a product like baby formula.The first casualties of food insecurity are children, who suffer physical stunting from sustained malnutrition, perform poorly at school, and often pay a permanent price with their cognitive abilities and potential. We are losing an entire generation of children to hunger. And that is something this country can scarcely afford.

The Travelers #4

Tony DiGerolamo's The Travelers is now published by Kenzer & Company (Knights of the Dinner Table) rather than his own SJRP imprint and I'm happy to say there hasn't been any decline in quality. A bonus for new readers is the inside front cover which introduces the main characters of the series.
This issue finds our heroes meeting with representatives from the Nipponese Empire who are searching for the remains of a flying ship that crashed near Beastleyville some 20 years earlier. Of course, there's bound to be something nefarious afoot and Locust, the court wizard, and his friends are smack dab in the middle of things. Romance, ninjas, Marco Polo, a mystic scroll, demons and a flying carpet combine to make this issue the perfect jumping on point for new readers.
Tony DiGerolamo describes The Travelers as "Dungeons and Dragons meets the Three Stooges." I would change the Three Stooges to the Marx Brothers but you get the idea. Suffice it to say The Travelers will make you grin and giggle as you read it. There's no pretense at seriousness within the pages and the result is a comic that deserves to be on more subscription lists in comic shops.
Brian S. Dawson's art is as good as ever and his characters imbue the story with just the right amount of slapstick without being overly exaggerated.
All issues of The Travelers are still in print and available so if you can't find them locally write to Kenzer & Company, Mail Order Fulfillments, 830 West Main Street, PMB114, Lake Zurich, IL 60047 or visit The Travelers web site at www.thefixsite.com.

In the beginning.......
In the year 1951 it was decided that Rhymney should mark the occasion of the Festival of Britain by holding an eisteddfod on Saturday November 3rd. During the September of that year regret was expressed in certain quarters that the town, which had long been proud of it's tradition in choral singing, was not to be represented in the male voice choir section of the eisteddfod, so a party of some 30 voices was formed to compete, under the conductorship of Tom Emlyn Owen, in that one event. Mr. Owen, a Rhymney man, conducted his first male choir at the tender age of 16 years. In his 18th year, he was accompanist to the famous Rhymney United Choir when they sang in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, on June 6, 1925, at which time he was "presented" to King George V and Queen Mary.
On the competition day the conductor, with Mr. Gwilym Morris as accompanist, took his party to the stage and the subsequent performance was good enough to gain the second prixe. As a result of this success and not uninfluenced by the enjoyment each singer had experienced thus far, a meeting was called for the following Wednesday - the sole item on the agenda being a discussion on the possibility of the organisation becoming permanent. The meeting voted in favour and the first official practice was held on November 15th 1951 in the vestry of Ebeneezer Chapel, Twyn Carno, Rhymney.
The choir's first engagement, in February 1952, was a concert in Leamington Spa under the auspices of the Welsh Society of that town: but on that occasion the choir was nameless as no one had thought of giving the party a title. However, following a conversation between Alcwyn Savage and Gwyn Jones in a car parked at the bottom of Harcourt Place, Rhymney, it was suggested that the choir be named in memory of the Silures - those wild and wooly people who once lived in this area and who proved more than a match for the Romans - and so the "Silurian Singers" were born.
During the years 1951-58 the Silurians, in addition to winning prizes at many local eisteddfodau, became well-known as a result of their excursions throughout Monmouthshire and neighbouring counties giving concerts in aid of all manner of charities, and this period was a most enjoyable one for the choir. In those days most of the solo "artistes" were found from wqithin the ranks of the choir, and Haydn Hughson's rendering of the monologue "The Single Hair" is still remembered, as indeed is the performance of "The Bold Gendarmes" with actions by Bob Wilson and Danny Owen. The conductor was also ably assisted by Miss Beatrice May Davies who became accompanist in February 1953 and Mrs. Myfanwy Jones, who succeeded her in October 1956. Both these ladies entered wholeheartedly into all choir activities and their devoted service is gratefully acknowledged.
Mr. Tom Emlyn Owen - the first Musical Director of the Silurian Choir
The Choir gathered members and support in a short time and embarked on building a strong musical foundation on the concert platform. Even in those formative years the Choir was not content to rest on its laurels and with it's success at local eisteddfodau the choir strove toward greater musicianship by entering the National Eisteddfod to be held at Ebbw Vale. The choir's hopes were almost dashed with the failing health of Mr Owen but fortunately a young man from the neighbouring community of Dowlais came to the rescue. A musical director who not only put his mark on the choir but over the next forty years exercised tremendous influence on male choirs and in fact the whole choral traditions of South Wales and we refer of course to the late Mr Glynne Jones. Wales was a poorer place for his passing at Christmas 2000.
Under the baton of Mr Jones the Choir embarked on its golden age of competition success, with no fewer than four National Eisteddfod victories, and its visit across Offa's Dyke gained the Cheltenham Gold Cup as overall choral champions. Again the competition success went hand in hand with an innovative programme of concerts and music commissions.

Following the departure of My Glynne Jones to another choir you may have heard about called "Pendyrus" the Silurians were led by a man of great professionalism from a valley in the opposite direction to that of Mr Jones and we looked towards Ebbw Vale and Mr Paul Bailey.
Mr. Paul Bailey-the third Musical Director of the Silurian Choir
Mr Bailey was indeed a dedicated professional and an exacting taskmaster. The partnership was soon rewarded with invitations to international conferences and even being invited to sing for oriental Royalty

It was under the reign of Mr Bailey that one of the greatest management decisions of the choir was taken. It was decided a deputy conductor. The choice involved appointing a newly qualified teacher born and bred in Rhymney and a chorister to boot. Now having served his apprenticeship with Mr Bailey the obvious successor at Mr Bailey's departure in 1969 to return to full time education was that deputy Mr Ralph Williams.
Rhymney Silurian Male Choir with new conductor Ralph Williams
Under the stewardship of Ralph Williams the choir continued on the competition stage with successes including the Porthcawl, Cardigan and National Eisteddfodau within Wales and the Cornish Open Championship at St. Austell. Prestigious concerts with performed at Eton College and Royal Variety Concert at Windsor.
Rhymney Silurian Male Choir with conductor Ralph Williams and accompanist Jonathan Price
Never content to rest on its laurels the Choir has been to the fore in expanding the Welsh Male Choir Repertoire with works commissioned from such eminent composers as the late William Mathias and Mervyn Burtch. The Choir is highly regarded for the concert it gives in aid of many national charities, which incidentally account for over 80% of the Choir's time. An innovation, which the Choir embarked on, was on the international scene. After many years of trying the Choir embarked on the establishment of gaining international friendships through music.
Mr. Ralph Williams-the fourth and current Musical Director of the Silurian Choir.
From 1977 contacts was established with three choirs from Germany, two from the Stuttgart area of Germany in Neckarweihingen /Ludwigsburg and Aichscheiss near Esslingen.and one from Dauchingen in the Black Forest. From the link with the choir from Neckarweihingen a village forming a part of the town of Ludwigsburg the twin town of Caerphilly and the Rhymney Valley a 30-year bond of friendship was celebrated in 2007. In April 2008 a delegation will be visiting the Choir in Neckarweihingen to celebrate its Fiftieth Anniversary In addition further exchanges have been established with choirs from France, Spain, Italy, Finland, Norway and a short concert tour to Pisek in the Czech Republic to the twin Town of Caerphilly County Borough. Its dedication to overseas friendship was rewarded with the Choir being invited to sing for the President of Germany during a State Visit to the United Kingdom. In addition the Choir was awarded in recognition of its national and international achievements with the W.S. Gwynn Williams Award.
Rhymney Silurian Male Choir with conductor Ralph Williams and accompanist Mrs. Maureen Dallimore
During this period a major omission was rectified and the choir released two highly successful recordings under the "Sain" label. The most popular songs from both cassettes are now available on a CD.
Rhymney Silurian Male Choir with conductor Ralph Williams and accompanist Ashleigh Powell
What can we say of the future of the Choir? Primarily the Choir will not be found wanting for based on the commitment of past and present choristers and the musical team the foundations have been laid. The present Choir will soon be embarking on a recruitment campaign to ensure that the Rhymney Silurian Male Choir continue and in continuing it will never rest on its laurels but ensure that when people talk of Welsh Male voice singing they will remember this little corner of Wales and the Siluries that Celtic tribe whose descendants still live and sing here.

Which Coin Could be The Next Bitcoin
If only you had invested in Bitcoin 5 years ago.
"If only" is one of the used phrases among cryptocurrency traders. If only you had chosen a particular cryptocurrency before it rallied in price, you would be much happier.
However, this does not help as we cannot go back in time. We cannot buy a cryptocurrency in the past. We can only focus on picking the coins currently that are most likely to give us such returns.
Currently, there are a few coins that have the potential to rally in the next couple of months. These are some of the largest "Altcoins" or alternative coins.
In this short post, we will take a look at some of the most promising altcoins that are likely to take the market by storm.
First things First
Before you can invest in any cryptocurrency, you have to get yourself set up with a cryptocurrency broker. This will allow you to enter the positions in the coins that we are about to talk about. You should also make sure that you use only the best brokers.
There are many brokers these days that will try to sell you their services. The problem is that the vast majority of them are scam brokers. This means that they are unregulated and will not return your profits or coins.
You can find a range of regulated cryptocurrency brokers online but your best bet is to probably use a broker like IQ Option. IQ Option is one of the biggest CFD brokers in Europe and they are fully regulated by the FCA and by CySec.
They also have a range of cryptocurrencies and have one of the most advanced platforms on the market. If you would like more information you should read IQ Option broker reviews.
Now that you have the means to trade cryptocurrencies, we can move right onto the topic of the most profitable coins to invest in.
Ripple (XRP)
Most cryptocurrency enthusiasts want to get rid of banks.
They think that financial institutions are the pediment to progress of decentralised freedom. However, this may be the wrong headed way to go about it.
There is a benefit from working with the banks to make payments much more efficient and cheap. This is exactly what Ripple XRP is doing. They have developed a protocol that is able to use digital assets to move funds across the world in a matter of seconds.
The native token in their protocol is the XRP liquidity token. This is what is used to settle payments across the world.
The Ripple company is trying to sell their technology to a number of banks. If the banks are to use this technology, it will mean that they need to get themselves the XRP liquidity token.
This will create a great deal of demand for the token which will drive the price up considerably. Currently, the token is only sitting at $0.67.
What is important to note is that the amount of XRP that has ever being printed is limited. No more can ever be produced. This means that if supply were to increase greatly, then the price is most likely to follow.
There have been estimates that the price of the XRP token is likely to hit $10 within the next three years. Hence, this is no doubt a coin that you may want to consider including in your portfolio.
Monero (XMR)
There is one big misconception with Bitcoin currently. That is the notion that it is private. People think that when they use Bitcoin to buy things, that they are anonymous.
Unfortunately, that is only half true.
You see, Bitcoin is a pseudo-anonymous. Although the wallet address that you use is just a random collection of numbers, they can easily be tracked on the blockchain.
There are companies that use advanced algorithms that are able to track exactly where payments are coming and going. This means that the moment you try to take your money to an exchange, your name will be exposed.
This is exactly why privacy coins such as Monero are the best alternatives in today's day and age. Monero is a privacy coin that cannot be tracked because they use advanced cryptography which is able to shield the blockchain from the public.
Hence, when you send XMR on the Monero network, no one knows how much XMR is in your wallet and they do not know where payments have come from.
It is this reason that a number of cryptocurrency enthusiasts have started using Monero so extensively. It is also one of the most decentralised cryptocurrencies as they are actively against any sort of miner centralisation.
Currently, the price of XMR is sitting at $250. It has been as high as $450 only a few months ago.
There are many analysts who see XMR reaching as much as $1,000 by the end of the year. As more traders learn to appreciate the risks that come with holding Bitcoin, they are likely to start adopting Monero.
There are many cryptocurrency options on the market today. There are also many traders who are proclaiming that the coins that they have are likely to be the next Bitcoin.
This is unfortunately quite a stale comment as there is only one Bitcoin. There are, however, a number of other coins that have completely different technology and use cases. These coins are yet to be discovered by the main stream and adopted widely.
Monero and Ripple are two such coins. The latter is likely to make international payments and absolute breeze. The former is going to make sure that all of your transactions are effectively hidden from the public.
Although we have recommended these two tokens as having the potential to rally over the coming months, it is essential that you do your own research. Make sure that you are comfortable with the amounts that you are investing and never invest more than you can afford.

Campus Visits are Better than Ever
Students may notice a new set of wheels traveling on campus roads this spring. Two new shuttle buses, wrapped with the UNC Charlotte logo and "VISIT. LIVE IT. LOVE IT." now tour campus daily, as the undergraduate admissions campus visit program expands its daily tours of campus.
|New buses augment walking tours for prospective students, families.
Each year, about 9,000 students and their families tour the UNC Charlotte campus, and this visit experience is the primary decision-making factor that influences the student's decision to apply or enroll. "As the campus has grown, so has our visit program," says Claire Kirby, director of undergraduate admissions. "We wanted to be able to show our visiting prospective students and their families more of the campus, which we were unable to do with a walking-only tour."
The two new buses, which seat 48 people and one which offers handicapped accessibility, will allow our visitors to complete their campus tour to include a view of the football stadium and CRI, then to South Village to view residence halls.
Students who sign up for a campus visit will begin their experience with a 30-minute presentation about admission requirements from an admissions counselor. After the presentation, groups of families are paired up with "Niner Guides," student volunteers who walk the families through the central part of campus to the Student Union. "The Niner Guides add their personal student experiences on this portion of the tour while they explain what classes or programs are held in each of the campus buildings," adds Kirby. "This current student perspective adds a personal touch to the campus tour, and helps prospective students and their families gain a real understanding of whether UNC Charlotte would be a good fit for them."
After the walking portion of the tour, these families will hop aboard the new shuttle buses and tour the outskirts of campus, giving them a more complete view of our growing campus.
The daily campus visit program is offered Monday through Friday, and select Saturday mornings. Reservations are required and can be made online.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Charade (08/14/08)
TITLE: Meet The Cooks – Episode Two – Al Gore is a Hunky Beast
By Joshua Janoski
"Hi, honey. How are you? What! Dylan teleported to Beijing for the Olympics? You can't blame him. Michael Phelps is amazing to watch. Yes, I'll have dinner ready tonight. I have to go now. I have a job interview with Al Gore this morning. Have fun scouring China for our son. Fight some minions for me! Bye!"
Let's see here. I've got my dress shirt, khakis, freshly pressed underwear (thanks, Mom!), snazzy black loafers, and tie. I'm dressed to impress!
"Good morning, Al."
"Good morning? What's good about it, Treehugger? Those clear skies out there are horrible!"
"You can just call me Joe. You don't have to use my superhero name since we are good friends."
"Whatever, Treehugger. Sit down and let's get this interview over with! Why do you want this position?"
"As you know, my job is to keep the environment clean and friendly for all people, and becoming the Secretary to the Vice President of the Environmental Safety Administration would be a phenomenal opportunity for me to put my skills to good use. Oh, and superhero work has been kind of slow so I need the supplemental income."
"Superhero work has been slow, huh? No competition for Captain Treehugger? What about Polluto? I heard that he has been lurking around causing trouble."
"Well actually…*cough*. Hey! Why are you lighting up a cigarette? You don't smoke! Polluting your body and the air around you is a no-no! You know that!"
"Chill! It's my office, and if I want to light up, then that's my right. Who's in charge here?"
Al is acting really weird. I smell a rat…and nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, DDT, and over 400 other harmful chemicals. Don't smoke kids! It's bad for you. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the internal thoughts of Captain Treehugger, defender of YOUR environment.
"I have modified the job description. The duties for this position are no longer to create and enforce United States environmental policies. If you get hired, your job will be to burn as much fossil fuel as you possibly can. We want to fill the air with as many contaminants as possible in order to monitor and measure their effects on the environment."
"Pollute is such a harsh word, Treehugger. I prefer to call it 'contamination in the name of scientific research.' Your findings will benefit the environmental program immensely."
This guy certainly isn't my buddy Al! Time to put him to the test and end this charade!
"So Al, I was curious about something. Who invented The Internet?"
"Robert E. Khan and Vincent Cerf created the TCP/IP protocols while working on the ARPANET Project. Their discoveries led to the creation of what we now know as the modern Internet. Duh!"
Wrong! Al Gore created the Internet. Stay calm, Joe. Abide by the superhero code of conduct. Only apprehend those who you know for a fact are villains in disguise. Give him another chance before you rip that fake latex mask off his grimy, gray-colored skin.
"Remember when you and I went out together with our wives for dinner? Linda called me her 'Little Cabbage Pie,' and Tipper had a sappy romantic name for you as well. What did she call you?"
"I'm the one asking the questions…"
"ANSWER my question! Don't make me use my retinal air purification abilities inside this room!"
"FINE! She called me her Smokin' Hot French Vanilla Cappuccino."
"Her Delectable Belgian Waffle?"
"Try again."
"Fuzzy Wittle Navel?"
"Refreshing Spring Water?"
"You are really bad at this…She called him a Hunky Beast! Why don't I rip this mask off your face so you can think more clearly, Polluto!"
*Zaaaaawoooosh* <------------------ FYI. That's the sound of teleportation.
"Linda! Dylan!"
"Joe! I grabbed Dylan's shirt, as he was teleporting! I told him to go see Daddy! I found Al Gore tied and struggling at the bottom of one of the Olympic pools."
"Spyder the Ninja! So you came to help your husband did you?"
"That's Mrs. Spyder to you, smog breath! HI-YAAA!"
"Nice moves, sweetie! I hope our insurance covers that Toyota Corolla that Polluto landed on down there."
"Let's go home, Joe. You owe me a nice dinner."
"Yes, Joe?"
"Am I a Hunky Beast?"
"No, Cabbage Pie. You're not."

27 Apr Awaiting the Elgon Days Contest: an emotional challenge until the last photograph is standing
"The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality."
What does passion look like?
That is the question we started with to organize the Elgon Days Contest. This is your opportunity to capture, in one photograph, the emotions that animate the hairstylist's profession every day.
"Are you a hairstylist? Do you love your job? Show us in a photograph that represents your passion for what you do by transmitting the emotion that makes you proud of your professionalism in one snapshot!
Are you ready to get involved? From May 10th through June 7th 2018, just click on this link: [Elgon Days Contest] to find yourself on the dedicated platform where you will find five groups – divided up according the different geographic areas of the world – with each group being led by an Elgon professional acting as coach.
Once you have chosen the group you belong to, let your creative whimsy loose. Participants can upload the photographs that best represent the sentiment that nourishes their own particular professionalism, making it distinctive and special. For example, you can focus on a detail, or use a wide-angle view or a portrait.
The ten photographs receiving the most votes for each of the five groups will then be judged by a panel of experts, who will elect the five final winners out of the 50 finalists. The most talented hairstylists will fly to Milan to ascend the stage at Elgon Inspiring Days 2018 where they will be the protagonists accompanied by their coach, their invaluable guru for the entire programme. The Elgon Inspiring Days event represents an opportunity of international scope organized by the brand, which has the ability to attract hundreds of hairstylists from all over the world. A spectacular show that brings the latest trends from the fashion runways right into your salon, overturning the canonical standards for training: a unique moment of sharing among professional experts from the world over.
Having reached the fourth edition, this year Elgon Inspiring Days 2018 will be held in the top Italian city for fashion and design, from September 30th to October 1st, at the exclusive East End Studios. A former industrial area in Milan's Eastern district, a cutting edge Events Point, which has become one of the most important and sought after in the world of communications, fashion, design and show business.
To all of this we will add many novelties (chic street food & International Party) and a high-energy team ready to inspire your creativity and professionalism: all the elements necessary to create a unique moment when training, cultural contamination and expertise are blended to transform into a global party.
Is that it? Not at all. Getting back to the contest, the top ten in each group will win an exclusive Elgon product kit, which you can try out with Elgon every day inside your own salon.
All you need to do is wait for May 10th to enter the contest for real and accept the challenge.
To paraphrase a famous saying for these occasions, "May the best hairstylist win".

Open up your email inbox in the morning, and you can find yourself in a whole new world of fantastic offers and messages from people you didn't even know you knew. You may find you have won the Spanish lottery without ever buying a ticket. Or there may be a nice man in Liberia who wants to pay you lots of money to help him get his fortune out of the country. Others will be offering super deals on genuine Rolex watches or prescription drugs at low prices.
Then there are the banks that are updating their security and want to reconfirm your details with you. The strange thing is, you cannot recall having an account with Chase or JP Morgan. The Inland Revenue Service (of the US) also writes to inform you that you are entitled to a tax rebate.
All you need to do is fill in a few details. As a citizen of Britain, France or Spain, you may find this an extremely generous offer. And, of course, there are lots of other goodies waiting: the club that knows all the available (and willing) swingers in your area; the sure-fire share tip that will make you a fortune; the low-cost mortgage loan that will help you consolidate your debts.
Just one problem, of course: the messages are all scams and although some of them could just about qualify as email marketing for products that will actually be delivered, most of them are tricks to capture the personal details (and even take control of the computer) of the unwary.
We are talking about spam, unsolicited bulk email that is now reckoned to account for some 80% of all emails flowing over the internet today.
It is a problem that has been growing steadily over the past few years, and despite attempts to stem the tide, shows little sign of subsiding.
The term 'spam' was coined after a Monty Python sketch, where Vikings invade a British cafe, repeatedly demanding 'spam, spam, spam, spam' - a canned meat that at the time was a staple at such establishments. The unwanted messages pouring into your mailbox can have the same relentless feel about them. The internet is virtually free to use, making it the ideal vehicle for anyone with something to sell to a mass market. The population of the internet now exceeds a billion people and an increasing number of them are using broadband - a major factor in helping spam spread the world over.
According to David Stanley, European managing director for anti-spam company Ciphertrust, spam developed originally because it allowed people "to buy things online that they were perhaps too embarrassed to buy in a shop. But as the channel developed, it started to encourage bad behaviour."
Being cheap to use, the internet attracted anyone with a get-rich-quick scheme or dodgy products to shift - the same kind of businesses that fill the small ads in cheap newspapers or those that advertise on minority-interest cable TV channels. But on the internet, the numbers are that much bigger and the cost of doing business is coming down all the time.
Two years ago, if you knew where to look, you could buy the email addresses of 10 million people for $100 and you could hire a bulk emailing company to send out a million messages for $300. Now it is possible to pick up CDs with 10 million addresses for $10 and, according to one recent offer from a bulk emailing company, $499 will now buy you direct access to 41 million people, all of whom, it is claimed, have agreed to receive unsolicited messages.
Depending on what you're selling, therefore, a response rate of 0.001% can still make the exercise worthwhile. And not all spam is unwelcome - if you need Viagra or a cheap loan, then you may welcome the chance to buy discreetly. A recent market survey by security company Sophos found that 9% of people admitted to having bought products marketed via spam.
So the spammers know it is worth carrying on.
Seen in this light, spam could be viewed as merely an extension of direct mail and, as such, a minor nuisance. But the truth is very different.
First, there is the cost: according to the Inter-national Telecommunications Union, spam costs the world economy more than $25 billion a year - a figure made up of the wasted bandwidth carrying the messages and the time and money needed to block or manage it.
Second, the prospect of easy money and a low risk of getting caught have attracted all sorts of criminal elements, from cheap tricksters to organised crime. It means that spam is increasingly concerned with fraud and identity theft, and the methods used are becoming ever more sophisticated.
The rising tide of spam has turned the internet into a battleground.
On one side are the spammers, the bulk emailers, fraudsters and computer virus writers. On the other side, we have the anti-spam companies that produce software to block unwanted email, and a dedicated coterie of individuals who spend their waking hours trying to undermine the activities of spammers.
In his 2005 book Spam Kings, author Brian McWilliams paints a vivid picture of many of the characters involved on both sides of the divide as they struggled for supremacy during the early years of this decade. The spammers are, for the most part, poorly educated people with personality defects and in some cases a taste for ultra-right politics, says McWilliams. The anti-spam crowd are mainly US-based individuals, who have been on the receiving end of spam and don't like it.
He concludes that it is "furtive shoppers" who keep the spammer in business.
"The internet didn't invent plain brown-wrapper deliveries. But spam provides internet users with new levels of anonymous access to the dodgiest of items," he says. "By clicking on a hyperlink in a spam message, consumers can order cable descramblers (to watch paid-for TV channels without charge), 'free' governments grants and fake diplomas. Thanks to junk email, any consumer has access to porn without the inconvenience of having to drive to their nearest adult bookstore. If email had been around during Prohibition, you can bet that spammers would have been selling moonshine."
For a more complete and up-to-date picture of spamming's big hitters, however, you have to visit the website of Spamhaus (www.spamhaus.org), an organisation that relies on donations from industry and individuals to wage its battle against spammers and for tighter regulation of email marketing. Operating from a houseboat on the River Thames near London, Spamhaus acts as a clearing-house for sightings of spam worldwide. It maintains a blacklist of known spammers and that list is used in real-time by many of the leading anti-spam products as a reference for deciding what mail to accept or reject.
Working on the principle of naming and shaming, Spamhaus lists the world's top 200 spammers, which, it says, account for 80% of all spam. The vast majority operate from the US, with others from Russia, Canada, Australia and Israel. This list is known as the Register of Known Spam Operators (ROKSO) and any visitor to the website is able to get full details about each of them, the kind of spam they send out, who they work with and where they operate from.
The 10 spammers with the highest ROKSO ratings get their own hall of fame, and this is where we get a sense of the darker side of the business and the criminal element. For example, the current leader is Alex Blood, aka Alex Polyakov, aka AlekseyB, aka Alexander Mosh from the Ukraine, who is linked to a well-known child porn spam ring, according to Spamhaus. Four others are from Russia, also with links to pornography. Two are from the US and the others are from Israel, Canada and Brazil.
But how can these people continue to operate when they are known and are on the Spamhaus blacklist? The answer is that they have found ways of disguising the origins of their emails and they have found ways of hijacking the PCs of unsuspecting users to help them do their work.
The trick works like this: they send out emails offering recipients a free game or a ringtone for their phone - just click on the website link to download it. When the unsuspecting user does just that, they also receive a secret payload of malicious code that lodges itself on the computer and waits for instructions from the person who sent it. The PC, which will usually have a permanent broadband connection to the internet, has effectively become a robot, capable of being controlled remotely, but without the knowledge of the owner.
All the top spammers specialise in extending their power by taking control of more and more such PCs. Some spammers control hundreds of thousands of robot or zombie machines (also known as 'bots'), which they can then organise as an army of machines (bot network or 'botnet') in order to churn out the massive volumes of email. Because the mails come from millions of different machines, it is far harder for anti-spam companies to block them.
"We are now seeing clear collaboration between different skill sets," says Ciphertrust's Stanley. "The rented zombie networks are more targeted and marketed. The quality of the spam, especially phishing emails (where the message purports to come from a trusted source, such as a bank), is tremendously high now. The landing pages (the false web pages) are well researched and written. It takes a variety of skills to produce the end-to-end operation - the virus, the botnet, the setting of the botnet, the social engineer (who designs the trick), the website, people stealing your details. Then you have the money coming out the back end that needs to be laundered."
Tom Gillis of security products provider IronPort agrees: "It is a colossal industry. About 90% of viruses are written not by malicious kids in the Philippines, but by professional engineers."
In one case last year, a Russian group found a novel way of keeping up its numbers of infected machines by recruiting other website owners to infect visitors to their sites. The group paid 6 cents per infection, a small price to keep their botnet growing.
When it comes to laundering their proceeds, they use spam emails or phoney job websites to recruit what they describe as 'money transfer agents' - people who will receive money into their bank accounts, which they then withdraw as cash and, for a small commission, send overseas, using remittance services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. For many people, it seems like easy money.
Several countries have attempted to frame legislation to stop unsolicited bulk emails. The US Can-Spam Act of 2003 was intended to stem the problem, but many people feel it did too many favours to the email marketing industry.
Spamhaus describes it as "a serious failure of the US government to understand the spam problem" by trying to regulate rather than ban spam. "By signalling to the world that spamming is now legal in the US, the US is inviting a tsunami of spam from Asia. By requiring that American citizens read through and respond to every spam to opt out of ever-more mailings they did not opt in to, we also believe that millions will find their addresses sold on as 'people who read spams' and will find themselves on yet more lists."
The position in Europe and Australia is much tighter, with recipients needing to 'opt in' to receive messages. But the internet is international and, as email management company MessageLabs says in its 2005 Annual Security Report, "spammer operations will further shift towards overseas markets where the legislation is difficult to enforce, or very weak; for example, Russia, China and Eastern Europe".
In any case, police forces have few resources to tackle this global trade; they have far more pressing crimes to solve. And according to Dave Jevans, head of the US-based Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), many of the banks are in denial about the effects of phishing attacks. The few successful prosecutions, he says, come when a large company devotes its own resources, lawyers and IT people to tracking down where the money goes and building a case for law enforcement to follow up.
The only real weapon against spam at the moment is anti-spam filters and educating users not to open suspicious emails. Dave Rand, chief technologist at security company Trend Micro, sounds an even more chilling warning.
One of the foundations of security on the internet - whether for e-commerce, trade or military secrets - is the encryption of data. Powerful encryption relies on computers not being fast enough to run through all the possible combinations to crack the code.
But someone with a botnet of several hundred thousand PCs has massive computing power at their disposal. "When you have virtually unlimited computing power, then encryption doesn't matter," says Rand. "To be frank, it scares the crap out of me."
If those controlling botnets spot that hole in the market, we might have to rethink how we use the internet altogether.
The word 'spam' as applied to email means Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). Unsolicited means that the recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. A message is spam only if it is both unsolicited and bulk. Spam is an issue about consent, not content. The content is irrelevant: if the message is sent unsolicited and in bulk, then the message is spam whether it is an advert, a scam, porn, a begging letter or an offer of a free lunch.

One of the most common techniques for acquiring email addresses is the 'directory harvest attack' where the spammer tries to guess names in a company. The attacker unleashes a program that sends email messages to thousands of possible addresses for a given domain (email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com and so on). Most addresses will be invalid and the mail server will reject them, but those that are not rejected can be assumed to be valid. Security company Tumbleweed recorded a 170% rise in such attacks between Q1 2005 and Q3 2005.

Organise your 'bots' into armies of machines (bot networks, or 'botnets') in order to churn out massive volumes of emails. Optional extra: pay unscrupulous website owners to infect visitors to their sites.
Use spam emails or phoney job websites to recruit 'money transfer agents' - people who receive money into their bank accounts, withdraw it as cash and, for a small commission, send overseas, using remittance services such as Western Union or MoneyGram.

Study Tips Part II by Kinch
Study Tips Part II by Kinch
Submitted by kinch
First and foremost, I think it's important to stress that planning and strategy is a vital part of any study. Make set goals for yourself, build a plan, and stick to it. Working on the theory of "I'll study whatever I fancy at any particular time" is a bad way to start. There are numerous study materials out there: Textbooks, audio courses, games, children's books, grammar books, vocabulary lists, songs, tv shows… the list goes on. Finding a good resource for beginners is often an excellent first step.
Another part of your plan should be variety. Listening to the same audio lessons is okay, but after a while it looses the impact. Spice things up a bit, using some of the resources listed above. A textbook will often provide you with basic grammar. Then you have vocabulary lists. Once they get boring, kick back with some audio lessons. After them, you can try your hand at games or children's stories. Remember what I said earlier about practicing every day? If you can utilise all those things (particularly vocabulary) in your daily practice, you'll be off to an excellent start.
There are several tools out there designed to help you memorise things. Two that spring immediately to mind are Super Memo, and MindLifter. These tools work on the same principle as Pimsleur (or maybe it's the other way around). The idea is that after a while, your brain starts to forget things. If you're prompted to recall that thing just before you forget it, the next duration for forgetting will be slightly longer, and so you need to be reminded of it again. I've spoken to people who swear by those applications and say that they now can keep a list of several thousand items memorised simply by spending a few minutes a day refreshing the items that are due to be forgotten. I've found both those tools (particularly Super Memo) to be very, very difficult to get working properly, and have yet to have my own success with them. Your mileage may vary.
Here's another memory tip. Sleep. Sleep deprivation has been shown to have devastating effects on the brain, learning, and memory. Staying awake for those few extra hours of learning may seem like a good idea, but all the research seems to indicate that the sleep would be more beneficial. Most discussions recommend the minimum of 7 or 8 hours sleep per night for studying. While on the topic, diet and exercise are also touted as being important. The brain apparently uses 20% of the oxygen we breathe in. With diet and exercise, you have better blood circulation, and more oxygen going to the brain. Again, this is open to personal interpretation.
Here's something to try to avoid doing. It's a mistake I've made over the last few months. Library building. I have downloaded every single Japanese learning resource I can find. Books, audio, webpages, video shows, and more. I have copies of numerous things taken from my local library. If I had to make a conservative guess, probably close to 2GB of stuff is just sitting here. But I don't know which of it to use. Why? No study plan. If you're working you're way through a course that you know will take you another few months, don't download an extra course. Stick with the one you're on. Finish it. Then you can look for what to do next. I'm sure that if I learned everything that I have here, I'd be fluent in Japanese. But making a good study plan when you have an over-abundance of items just makes it harder.
How to Begin
Write out a plan. Write out which audio course you want to start with, which textbook, which games, which… whatever. It's up to you. You can find numerous recommendations both on the web, and on these pages, and I will provide some of my own. You will need a tutor. Someone who speaks the language better than you. If you're not doing a course at school/university, you need to find friends who are skilled in Japanese, who you can ask complex grammar questions, and who can answer them for you. Personally, I recommend Japanese natives who speak English. There are lots of them out there, and the Japanese page's Friends page is a good place to start. You may even be surprised to see the Japanese person knows more English than you. I certainly found that out (one of my Japanese friends knows what a 'copula' is, whereas I don't. I still don't. I know it's a grammar thing, but I have no idea what it's supposed to represent, nor do I much care). Try to get as many friends as you can, and spend as much time writing letters to them (or online chats). Practice practice practice. If you're actually communicating with someone, it's all the better. Another thing I would recommend (although it's a subject of some debate) is to learn hiragana/katakana as much as possible. This is another part of your plan that I forgot to mention earlier. Kanji. You need to decide now whether you will study kanji, and how. Kanji is almost like another language on top of japanese that you have to learn. It's of course vital to learn if you're going to be reading a lot of Japanese. But each person must decide on their own. Even if you have no plans of reading kanji at all, I still recommend learning to read hiragana as fluently as possible.
Next (this will depend partly on your study resources) you need to decide how you're going to advance. There are many vocabulary lists available. For example, you could choose to focus on the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) words, in the hope of passing that. You can focus on the 1945 Jouyou kanji, and use them as a basis for learning. You can find a children's school textbook for grade 1 and learn the way a child would learn going through the Japanese education system. It's up to you, and each will have benefits and limitations. Do a bit of research before-hand, choose your path, and write it into your plan. Maybe you'll focus on business words? Or entertainment? Or maybe the important words for personal communication? It's up to you, and it depends partly on your goals for the language.
Well, there's an idea on how to start, and some things you might try. I had a few other things to say, but they might have to wait until part #3. For now, hopefully this will get you started on the right track.
Good luck!

Amazon's rapid expansion north of downtown Seattle has sparked a debate over the tech giant's impact on the city that still rages on today. Despite criticism, CEO Jeff Bezos stands by the choice, citing the environmental benefits of shorter commutes and a workforce that appreciates "the energy and dynamism of an urban environment."
But the influx of high-salaried tech workers to the region, driven in part by Amazon, has contributed to unprecedented economic stratification in Seattle, as reflected by a massive homeless problem.
Amazon now appears to be taking a more active role in addressing homelessness. The company is partnering with the non-profit Mary's Place to create a temporary shelter for 60 to 70 homeless families, according to The Seattle Times. Amazon is converting one of its buildings into a temporary homeless refuge for the next year, at which point construction on the building will begin.
The 34,500-square-foot former Travelodge motel, at 2213 8th Avenue, was a dormitory for Cornish College of the Arts students before Amazon purchased the property for future expansion of its new corporate campus. Construction is scheduled to begin a year from now, making it a logical place to set up a temporary shelter. The dormitory-style accommodations include one bedroom, common and play areas for kids, one bathroom, and one kitchen per family.
Seattle's homeless population is rising quickly. In January, the non-profit One Night Count revealed a record 4,505 people living without shelter in King County. Seattle-based Zillow, which conducts research on housing affordability, says the region's tech boom is driving up rents and squeezing lower-income residents.
"The ramifications are dire for a region that was historically blue-collar and not prone to the same sky-high housing prices as other coastal hubs," writes Zillow blogger Melissa Allison.
Amazon has been criticized for its lack of civic engagement in the city it's so actively shaping. In a GeekWire poll, 45 percent of readers said that Amazon should work harder to be a better corporate citizen in Seattle.
Nick Hanauer, an early investor in Amazon told GeekWire, "I think that Amazon could be far more engaged in the civic community, and I think that the community would benefit massively from it."
Now, roughly 200 homeless people living in Seattle will begin to reap those benefits.
"As we grow in Seattle, we recognize the importance of investing in our hometown in ways that benefit our neighbors and our employees," Amazon Director of Global Real Estate and Facilities John Schoettler said in a blog post. "When Seattle Mayor Ed Murray declared a civil state of emergency on homelessness we wanted to help out in a time of great need."
In addition to partnering with Mary's Place on the shelter, Amazon.com has set up a dedicated page for the non-profit, including a Wish List with items people can donate to homeless families in need.
"Thank you Amazon.com for your amazing generosity," writes Mary's Place on Facebook. "Thanks to you, Mayor Ed Murray, and the City of Seattle, more than 200 moms, dads, and kids (and pets!) will be safe, warm and together at night!"

Mother's vow three years after son Carl Tindall killed
The heartbroken mother of murdered Carl Tindall, who was beaten and left to die at the side of the road, says she will never give up fighting for justice for her son.
The 35-year-old, from Brocton, in Stafford, is believed to have been attacked at a house in Plant Crescent, Stafford, on August 22, 2015.
He is then thought to have been taken alive in a car and driven two miles to Cull Avenue, also in Stafford, where he was dumped at the side of the road. Passers-by took him to hospital but he died two days later.
Police subsequently arrested and charged four people in relation to the property agent's killing but they were later cleared at trial. Three years on from the tragedy, Carl's mother Pat Tindall is still desperate for answers.
The 74-year-old, of Hixon, told the Express & Star: "I will never get over it as long as I live. I don't know how the people who did this can close their eyes to sleep at night."
Jamie Sleigh, aged 37, of St. John's Road in Cannock at the time, was charged with manslaughter following his death.
Mr Tindall's former girlfriend Sarah Hurmson, her sister Louise Hurmson, both then of Heath Hayes, along with Anthony Boddison, of St. Peter's Gardens Stafford, were charged of assisting an offender. A jury cleared all four of all the charges.
Mrs Tindall still visits her son's grave each day and the family will be holding a private candlelit vigil at 7pm today – the time the life support machine at Royal Stoke University Hospital was turned off with his family by his bedside.
She added: "I'm not giving up. I won't give up until the day I die."
"It's so hard but I will carry on fighting. And we will get them.
Mrs Tindall is appealing for anyone with information to come forward and help track down his killers.
And a £10,000 reward for any information that leads to a successful prosecution still stands.
With Carl's niece Charlotte at her side, Mrs Tindell, explained: "It will never bring him back but getting justice would help – it would give us that closure.
"They're out there leading their normal lives. It makes me feel terrible... awful.
"If there is anybody who knows anything at all and could come forward. Any little thing would help."
Mr Tindall, a big Everton fan and golfer, worked for property agent Foxtons in London before his tragic death.
He had a fractured skull and suffered a brain haemorrhage and died in hospital two days after being found at the side of the road in Stafford.
After the trial Detective Inspector Glyn Pattinson from Staffordshire Police, paid tribute to Mrs Tindall and her family saying: "Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to Carl's family who have shown great courage and dignity during this most difficult of times.
"Their love for Carl was clear for everybody to see."
Ahead of a family candlelit vigil at 7pm this evening – the time the life support machine at Royal Stoke University Hospital was turned off with his family by his bedside – Mrs Tindall said: "Seeing doctors turn off his life support machine was one of the hardest thing anyone can ever have to do.
"I've lost my son. I will never get over it – he was such a lovely lad. He was so popular and did not deserve it.
"He just did not deserve it. I just plead with the public to speak out and tell us something.
"Even those who did it, just have that heart to come forward. There's got to be people out there that know – they would have told somebody. It's so hard but I will carry on fighting.
"And we will get them."
Anyone with information about the tragedy should contact Staffordshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 899 of August 22, 2015.
