Your Questions About World Of Warcraft Armory

Mark asks…

Are there inaccuracies in the World of Warcraft site armory?

I’m trying to think of a good rogue name (so far I’ve tried Poof, Xfusion, Icu, and a few others) but every time I try using one of them, it’s unavailable. According to the armory, there are currently no characters on my server with any of those names…so what gives? I know it only updates every so often and sometimes information on there is outdated, but I find that to be an unlikely case with every single name I try to use. Is it just inaccurate?

dknol answers:

There are 2 requirements for a character profile to appear on Armory:
1) A character must be recently active to have its profile appear on the Armory
2) A character must be at least level 10 to have their character sheet appear

Lizzie asks…

Can you loggon to your World Of Warcraft Armory while it’s being power leveled?

dknol answers:

You -can-, but it may not be a good idea. People have been banned before for logging into WoW or battle.net from two different IPs at the same time.

Let me also state- I hope this is a friend powerlevelling you and not a powerlevelling service. Either way you do risk getting banned. I also think you’re better off levelling it yourself. Knowing the class is better than not knowing it, and levelling is SUPER easy since 4.0.3a came out.

William asks…

How are my World of Warcraft characters put on “Warcraft Armory”?

I’d prefer the privacy of someone not being able to monitor my Warcraft activity. Everything about my characters are on this website but how? Is there something I can do to remove them?

Thanks

dknol answers:

Nope. Blizzard has no interest in your privacy. They have a GREAT interest in being the next big social networking site, like Facebook but with better games, lol! This is a major strategic thing for them.

Like they just came out with cross-faction, cross-real, cross-GAME chat. What an awesome feature. And they are making “Real ID” (using your real name) absolutely mandatory for you to use that feature. If you aren’t willing for your online friend to have your real name, you can’t chat while he’s playing Starcraft.

Http://www.stratfu.com/blog/kyth/2010/05/deeply-disappointed-realid-system

They are teasing you with this feature-candy to break down your will to protect your privacy.

It’s not just about new features. They came >< this close to making real names mandatory simply for posting in the forums. People were not happy to say the least.

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle.net#Privacy_and_Real_ID

Here is a very funny "Hitler Finds out" video on that. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiauaGbxipA

Blizzard isn't evil generally, but they are when it comes to privacy.

Ever see old movies about Europe and you see the police stop someone and demand papers? They can't do that in America because we're free. Except… Nowadays everyone carries a driver's license. Why did they get up an essential right? To get a sweet feature – driving. So many people drive that the transit dried up most places and everybody has to drive. Now, cops think they can demand papers when you're not driving. "Well you drove here didn't you?"

This is called a "slippery slope". Look it up.

Battle.Net used to be optional. How soon til RealID stops being optional too?

Privacy is impossible to regain.

Your Questions About Mp3 Players For Kids

Donna asks…

my son was accused of stealing another kids mp3 player, i did investigating and another student admitted to?

taking it. this child already has an ankle bracelt he wears and on home incarceration.

anyway…the teacher nor the counselor that accused him has apologized to him or me. the teacher called me at 9pm at night to tell me what happened. i was upset all night. i left them messages on their cell phones and wrote emails and no one has said a word.

should i just be satisfied with the outcome.? my son didnt get suspended, but was extremely upset that he was going to get suspended for something he didnt do

dknol answers:

You should be satisfied they found the culprit, however, think about how you reacted to the counselor and teacher – was your contact objective, free of extreme emotions, and polite? You pluralized your contact efforts (messageS, emailS) – did you send a lot? That can be kind of off-putting to them, making them afraid to contact you out of fear they might be verbally attacked.

If the apology means that much to you, stop by the teacher’s room after school (let them know in advance) and ask to quickly talk to them.

In a very polite and calm manner, say something such as:

“I realize people are capable of making mistakes and I understand if you’re hesitant to admit the mistake. However, my son is completely heartbroken that he was accused of stealing and now feels like a bad student. It would really mean a lot to him if you pulled him aside to apologize and I would greatly appreciate it.”

After that quick conference, leave it at that. The ball will be in their court.

I am getting 2 Sony Bean MP3 players for my kids and I ‘d like to know if I have to load both software onto the computer or if they can share the same program?

No 1 software is enough.
But if you want to upload data simultaneously on both the players then you will need to load both the softwares on 1 computer coz of different communication ports on your computer

David asks…

Blue Hat Toy Company Kids MP3 Player?

My Little Niece For Christmas Got A Blue Hat Toy Company Kids MP3 Player and We Don’t Know Which Program To Download More Songs For It From Like Is There A Specific One? We Already Bought An Itunes Gift Card For Music, But We Wanted To See If Anyone New Anything Exactly Before We Tried It? All Answers Are Accepted and Needed! Thanks!
oh and it looks like this:
http://www.bonton.com/product/id/154287.do

dknol answers:

Hi,

My kids love their blue hat mp3 player. I only wish they made a bigger one for adults and with more memory(or an external memory slot).

To answer your questions:
1. Adding files to the radio is very simple. You hook up the radio via the usb cable AND your PC should recognize it as another disk(like any other attached or inserted disk, ie SD chips, portable hard drives). You would just go to the folder where you have music stored and copy to the assigned drive of the MP3 player.
2. But before adding files, you need to make sure you get the files in the correct format. You need to buy/get files that are in the standard mp3 format. Itunes is not in that format. I do have an ipod, but I’m not sure if you can buy from the itunes store in the standard mp3 format (files will be named *.mp3). I think the player will also play *wma files (but I’m not sure).

3. IF you want to use the itunes gift card and the ITUNES store doesn’t have files in the standard mp3 format available, THEN you’ll have to find a file converter.

I use the first and the original mp3 file format only. I have put these type of files onto the Blue Hat MP3 player with no problems. I think we have about 80 songs on it now and all play well.

EXTRA INFO:
If you are just getting into buying mp3s…… Its best to buy songs in the universal format. Other mp3 players will play or convert them before playing. Even Itunes will play them…..actually they will convert the files to their format when they are added to the itunes library.

I basically have an archive library of songs that i convert from CDs(in 128 to 196 bit rates) or buy online. I try to make sure the bit rate is above 196. I have additional libraries for other formats, but they aren’t my main library. This keeps me from getting stuck with only 1 vendor or player.

NOTE: The 20 songs that came on the MP3 player are stored at the 160 bit rate. Higher bit rates take up more space, but are better sound quality. 128 bit rate is the minimum rate for CD quality sound on a standard sound system. Higher quality sound systems will sound better with higher bit rates. Since the blue hat mp3 player is small, I think you should be okay to put songs with 96 bit rate. This will allow for more songs. And since it has only 256k of internal memory, you will fill up the memory quickly.

GOOD LUCK. ENJOY!

Looks good to me and I guess the format in word would make it lot more easier to grasp.

One particular advice, instead of using the past form in your experience field you should go for abstract present continuous tense. For instance:

Telephone Surveyor
The Logit Group, January 2009 – November 2009
–> Calling consumers to get related data for clients.
–> Speaking to several hundred consumer daily ( try to be specific here. If it’s over phone, mention it)

Paul asks…

My laptop won’t connect to the internet! HELP?

I have an HP pavilion dv4 laptop with windows 7 on it. I’ve had it since january 2010. And the warranty expired 23 days ago. Hence why HP doesn’t want to help me.
Compared to my old acer, this thing may be the jaguar of laptops (and I don’t mean that ib a good way…).
Last night, it was fine. Then, the internet stopped working. I don’t know what happened. Earlier in the evening PC tools (my virus software) found a trojan and got rid of it (but that’s typical) and I think installed updates.
So now it wont open the internet. It says the connection to wifi is good (which it is–everyone else in the house can get online). But when I open IE it says “address not valid”. ZbUT I KNOW it is! I’ve turned the wifi button and off, disconnected the signal, and still it does this! It also wont let me open outlook (it says it gas an error and then closed). I HAVE AN ONLINE CLASS STARTING IN THE MORNING! HELP ME!
I have typed in different URLs. It still wont work. Its not fixingitself: it, as is typical, “cannot.diagnose a problem”. I hate windows 7 and this laptop. I swear when I have enough to.buy a new one I will hurl this one over a ravine somwhere. Frustrated.
And yes…PC tools makes my computer RuN like a DINOSAUR!

dknol answers:

What I would do, is restore the computer back to an earlier time, the last windows update or prior. Go to Start –> Accessories –> System Tools –> System Restore. And, select an earlier time there.

Daniel asks…

My gay boyfriend is from Europe, and I am from the United States. Where can we live together?

Hello everyone. My boyfriend and I met almost 2 years ago on the internet. He lives in Croatia in Central Europe, and I live in the U.S. We started talking online, and as it turned out, he was visiting the U.S. that summer, and his aunt lives in the city next to mine where I was going to college. So we decided to meet eachother, and though it sounds so corny, it was love at first sight. We’ve been together ever since, altering between long distance relationship, and living together. He came back to visit me for Christmas later that year, and again this past summer. Then I visited him in Europe for the past 2 months, and now we are back again in the U.S. Both of us have just graduated college (I have a Bachelor, he has a Masters degree). He speaks fluent English and Croatian, he has a degree from Croatia in forestry, and we have pretty much managed a healthy relationship for the past 2 years and while staying focused on finishing school. Now that we graduated, we are back in the U.S. we are staying with my parents (they are awesome parents, and very accepting of our relationship). Trouble is, we don’t know where we can live together anymore. The U.S. law regulates a 6 month visit to foreigners with a visitor’s visa. We have researched the pro’s and con’s to staying in America vs. leaving America. I would like to get a job and be able to start working now. We have both spent a good portion of our savings on travel funds just so that we could stay together, and let’s face it- my parents are supportive of our relationship but they also want to see us move out of their house, get jobs, and succeed in life. I can get a job much more easily than he can, and what if, in 6 months, I have a decent job, and he still has no job? That would mean that he will have to go back to Croatia, and I will stuck in the U.S. responsible for a career I’m in. He is so important to me, we love eachother, he is loved by my friends and my family, and I am loved by his family too. It is really a perfect relationship in a completely disastrous situation. He can’t stay in the U.S. for very long periods of time. We have talked about moving to Canada, where we could legally get married and live there, but that would break my family’s heart for me and him to be so far away from them. We don’t want to live in Croatia, because homosexuality is not tolerated at all there. Neither one of us can live for much longer in eachother’s respective countries. Something needs to change. Here in the U.S., a gay man can not sponsor their partner if they were from another country. Even if you are married, gay marriage is not recognized by the Federal Government and any attempts towards getting him a residency in the U.S. through marriage would be dismissed. I don’t know where we will be 6 months from now, but we are working hard at trying to find a solution to where we will live permanently. We want to start our lives together, but at this point, all we can do is just take each day one day at a time. Neither of us want to do the long distance online thing anymore. We have been together for 2 years, but have managed to live together every day since March 2010 and are happy with eachother. We are surrounded by loving people and we do not listen to people who try to bring us down with discouraging words and bleak outlooks. We are both funny and intelligent men, but this problem is completely weighing me and him down with stress. Thanks for reading, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

dknol answers:

I think you should get him a job first so you can live together. As for the permanent residency and marriage thing, I’d say things may change in the couple years. The U.S will accept it finally.

Your Questions About Health And Fitness Careers

Nancy asks…

Careers relating to fitness or fitness health?

I’m interested in researching careers for myself that involve helping people and learning more about fitness, nutrition, and overall health. Some examples would be a kinesiologist, allergist, etc. Things along those lines. I’m a senior in highschool and I would just like to know more choices out there that I haven’t heard of. Job security is also very important to me; I want to be able to know I can pursue a career that I will plan to work out for many many years. Basically a stable career where I can stand and financially independent. I’m very determined. Any HELP! thank you.

dknol answers:

How about something relating to Sports Medicine. My highschool has a class like that, its for people who would like occupations like Physical Therapy.

Joseph asks…

Career in health and fitness? ?

I’m 24 and work in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. I have always wanted to work with people and have an ‘active’ career as opposed to an office job however there are disadvantages to my profession, for example: little financial security and fewer opportunities for older fitness advisers. I am therefore considering a change in careers or going back to University to improve my credentials and ensure a longterm career in fitness or exercise rehabilitation.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what course to study? What would I be able to do with such qualifications? It would be an ambition of mine to have private clients or open a sporting clinic in the distant future.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

dknol answers:

What about physiotherapy? Then you could look for a job that combines physiotherapy & fitness, do one as your main job and one on the side, or open your own business.

Your Questions About Bluetooth Technology In Cars

Ruth asks…

How do I sync my phone to my Suzuki SX4?

I just picked up my 2009 Suzuki SX4 Touring, and I have absolutely no idea how to pair my phone with the hands-free bluetooth system that it has.

It doesn’t say a single thing about any of the technology features in the manual that it came with, and there are no obvious buttons to push in the car that would sync it. Does anybody have a manual for it or remember doing this for your car?

Thank you. I’m itching to try out my new toy!

dknol answers:

Dunno

Nancy asks…

BMW said I will damage my car if I don’t use an approved T-Mobile phone for syncing with the car…true?

I just got a 2011 BMW 528i and the salesman told me that the BMW Assist website has a list of all approved phones that can be used with the car. Unfortunately for me, I have T-Mobile and the only phones BMW “Test and Approved” are the G1 and the Blackberry, neither of which I have. I actually have a Sony Ericsson TM717, just a basic flip, which uses Bluetooth 2.0…So, they said I may be able to sync the BMW car’s bluetooth with my phone, but if it breaks/damages the car’s computer or something, then it is all on me…and will not be covered by the warranty.

So, if you’re me…should I just have them attempt to sync my basic Sony Ericsson flip to my car, or do you think the older technology (even though I just got it a few months ago) will ruin the car…It would make no sense that they listed only some old G1 phone and some Blackberry 8900. Are they saying that if I buy a new G2 phone, that it will not work with my car or may damage it…this makes no sense. The G1 came out 2 years ago!!!

What to do? Should I just buy a bluetooth and save some money for a new Blackberry to purchase in the near future? Or do you think my Sony Ericsson which does not have Bluetooth 2.1 or Android, or Blackberry OS will ruin the car? Help!!

Thanks

dknol answers:

I agree with the person above me.The computer doesn’t really recognize the brand of the cell phone.If all you need is a bluetooth connection,then there’s no problem at all.If all these proposed phones come with special software(really doubtful) to handle BMW Service,then i don’t really know,but i don’t see how it can ruin the car.Ruin what?The ECU?It has nothing to do with BMW Assist.The multimedia system?Well,i have never heard that an OS can destroy another device.So in my opinion,there’s no problem.

George asks…

If jets can refuel in the air, why do we have to get out and pump gas?

In this age of technology, the most mundane, unsafe, and tedious part of driving is refueling at a station. If it is hot out, you must get out of your cool car and pump in the heat. Similarly, in freezing cold and snow, you must get out of your warm car to pump. Why can’t cars be designed with standard filler tubes easily identified by machine vision such that you could robotically fill your tank without ever leaving your car? You could bluetooth in your creditcard to the fuel station. This seems so easily done. Why don’t we have this technology? It would save people from being accosted at seedy gas stations also. Fueling explosions could be eliminated from idiots refueling while on the cell phone.
I don’t believe cost is a factor. Sure full service stations exist, but you pay more for them and there are very few of them. I rarely see them. Plus, I don’t want some bozo touching my car. It is also not a matter of laziness or taking someones’s job. That is ridiculous logic. As it is now, refueling takes way too long. If you do not completely refuel at a fuel stop, you are a bozo. Why increase the number of refueling stops you need in your lifetime? I use airplane refueling as an example of repid refueling. A car’s gas tank could be designed with a female coupling on its bottom such that a filler tube would not even be necessary. The car could be driven over a tire block, like in a stationary car wash, and a male refueling coupler could mate with the tank and rapidly refuel the car in seconds, transferring multiple gallons instantly with no hoses or pump islands. This would be much less costly and much more safe in every aspect of the process. No fuel spillage. Better for the Earth.
Also, since all cars have their fuel tanks on the bottom of the car, older cars could be retrofitted with a female tank coupler such that either a standard gas station with pumps & hoses or a rapid refueling station with the male tank coupler could be used.
Wrenchme,
I looked up the Shell project, and it appears to be a Univ of Kentucky/ Shell joint proposal; however, I believe it will fail due to all the differences in automotive fuel filler cap placement. My idea is better by accessing the tank from the bottom and having a universal coupling. No fancy machine vision/ image recognition would be required and the tank could be filled rapidly with a large diameter coupling.

dknol answers:

Your description of male/female coupling has gotten me all hot and bothered.

Helen asks…

2009 Subaru Forester Technology Question.?

When comparing the Nissan Rogue to the Subaru Forester (2009) I’ve been leaning towards the Rogue because of two main features… A) Intelligent Key- Getting in and driving away without taking the key out of your pocket. =] B) Bluetooth so you can pick up calls from your steering wheel. I like the interior of the Forester though and I just read when parked, you can connect the GPS to video game consols or dvd players and the front seats fold down so your legs go there and you actually sit on the back seat, like a living room… I live out of my car because I travel alot so this sounds amazing.. lol but will the forester offer any of the two features the rogue has? any other cool features that would persuade me to the forester? I kind of want to go with the forester but I need more persuasion. Thanks in advanced!

dknol answers:

1. Subaru has the most advanced AWD system in the world.
2. In my opinion Subaru has better quality than Nissan.
3. Subaru looks like a good car while Nissan has that cheapy look to it.
4. Automatic Subi’s have a cool manual shift feature.
5. My favorite, Subi’s have that rally car feel to ‘em and there fun to drive if you get a manual!

Mary asks…

Can the car stereo be used by hackers to gain entry into your car to change other computer components?

I knew that the government was using the computer in your car to control the mileage you get and when I proclaimed it, some naysayers stood up and proclaimed the impossibility of such a technique, but today, I read an article on Keelynet which sated the following:

03/14/11 – Hacking a Car With Music
“Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Washington have identified a handful of ways a hacker could break into a car, including attacks over the car’s Bluetooth and cellular network systems, or through malicious soft ware in the diagnostic tools used in automotive repair shops. But their most interesting attack focused on the car stereo. By adding extra code to a digital music file, they were able to turn a song burned to CD into a Trojan horse. When played on the car’s stereo, this song could alter the firmware of the car’s stereo system, giving attackers an entry point to change other components on the car. This type of attack could be spread on file-sharing networks without arousing suspicion, they believe. ‘It’s hard to think of something more innocuous than a song,’ said Stefan Savage, a professor at the University of California.”

Now, what do you naysayers have to say?

If the government wants to ‘eliminate’ you, they can have your car speed out of control

They can also have you drive off a cliff or into a brick wall

We are in an age where we cannot trust government any more and the power they have is growing

Something must be done, because being unaware of what they can do and are doing is not going to protect you

They have the ‘Venus Shooter’ and have used it, countless times to induce heart attacks in healthy people, who just happened to invent some energy-saving device that renders your batteries obsolete; Look up Arie Degues! He invented a battery that never needs to be recharged and he was found dead, at the airport, on his way to get financing for this invention

If you are an inventor, today, you have to look at the risk of being murdered by those who own the battery industry, the power companies and the media, because they can do anything they want, even fly our planes into our buildings and kill our people in broad daylight and get away with it

And if anyone sees through the lies and uncovers the conspiracy to control and dominate the people, they are called ‘conspiracy theorists’

Well, when there is a conspiracy to murder us, what would you call it?

In an age of advanced technology, there is a rogue group which will use political power and control to gain advantage and if you can’t see it, you’re blind! Open your eyes and wake up out of your trance! The government can’t be trusted and the car computer is one opportunity that they won’t miss! You can bet your life on it!

Can the car stereo be used by hackers to gain entry into your car to change other computer components?

dknol answers:

WOW, guess there is the possibility of them doing this but at the same time I dont think many cars stereo systems are directly tied into the cars computer, but then again some stereos do have climet controls which tie into the computer…… BUT thats why i rock old school cars that dont have fancy computers controling every functiion of the car… You have some paranoia goin on hu? Lay off the dope bro.

My girlfriend plays World of Warcraft too much!?

Hi guys,

My girlfriend and I were a happy couple, we have 2 beautiful daughters and a wonderful family… But there is one thing not right there, my girlfriends addiction to the game World of Warcraft. My daughters go to school and I have to run from work to pick them up at school to stay at my work… (My girlfriend of course is doing dungeons!)

After I’m done with work and we are home, I have to do the cooking as well (my girlfriend is getting ready for the raid tonight)

Other than that I have to work, clean the house, take care of the kids, and make sure they eat and sleep on time…. (Its a miracle i am alive right now)

And when I’m not paying my girlfriends world of warcraft account she tells me I don’t love her that much?

Could you guys give me some advice please? What do I need to do ?

Your Questions About Work Online From Home

Lisa asks…

what are some online jobs where I can work from home?

I am unable to work outside my home and am searching for work I can do online from home. Anyone have any good ideas?
I do appreciate all the answers I received, unfortunately, I found nothing legitimate or that did not require a lot of money up front. i have not worked in over a year, my money is very limited. Thank you all for your help though.

dknol answers:

EBay is a great place to start, easy to make huge profits

Joseph asks…

Does anyone know companies offering online work from home?

I am looking for some part-time work that I could do at the computer from home.
Does anyone know companies offering online work and how can I spot marketing scams crawling through the Internet promising that lots of money can be earned when signing up to their schemes?
Any suggest is very much appreciated. Thanks.

dknol answers:

When looking for work from home be suspicious. The Internet has the potential to offer work from home but also the risks becoming a chosen target of online scams. Potential targets are those people who are under pressure and low subscription payments for work from home are designed to break resistance – for fraudsters it is a game of numbers with only one winner. These deceptive and misrepresented offers are sometimes hard to spot – so don’t be embarrassed to seek help.

I haven’t heard or seen a real offer worth trying (lots of writing jobs, product reviews and such like that). Most stuff is online marketing related, making money on “auto pilot”. The offers outlining that no skills are needed, even a complete idiot can do that. All you need to do is to sign up. These offers often are backed up with testimonials from people who cashed in money over night like winning LOTTO – can you believe that?

Linda asks…

Are there any legit jobs online to work from home?

I just lost my job recently. I was looking online for home based online work,but everyone wanted money up front to get you going. I wouldn’t mind paying a fee if I knew it wasn’t a scam,and I could start earning money from home. Does anyone out there have any positive experience with this type of job?

dknol answers:

There was a report on 20/20 about this. The key is, they stated, that NO EMPLOYER will post ‘Work at home’ as the job title. So you must search for real jobs like phone customer service, sales jobs, selling insurance via phone, and office help. It is rare to find a work at home job but there are a few in categories like I listed.
Do not apply to any job that has the title of ‘work at home’ or ‘work from home’ etc.
Do not work for anyone that wants you to cash checks and mail out money (scam) or that wants you to stuff envelopes or mail simple items/paper for them.

Sharon asks…

Can anyone recommend a good online work from home opportunity?

Has anyone experienced working with a good online work from home business that they could recommend i am a bit skeptical because of all the scams out there so i really could use some firsthand advice. i live in melbourne Australia

dknol answers:

If you are good on the computer you can try learning HTML and make websites. Then you could either make yourself a website and sell/promote products or you can create websites for other people. This is what i do.

The other online get rich fast schemes are very tame. Its either a scam or you get paid very little.

Helen asks…

Are there any online/work from home health care related jobs?

Any work from home or online jobs in the field of medicine?

dknol answers:

This is from the Better Business Bureau:
Recognizing a Work at Home Scam
Avoid falling victim to a work at home scam by recognizing the following warning signs in job advertisements:
• Boasts no experience necessary
• Promises easy money and huge part-time earnings
• Promotes having “inside” business information
• Asks you to purchase products or instructions before getting “hired”
Outcomes of a Work at Home Scam
Protect yourself from tempting work-at-home promotions that offer exaggerated benefits by being informed of the outcomes. The outcomes of work at home scams include: a waste of money, time, reputation, and morale.
Victims of work at home scams have reported losses ranging from $10 to $70,000. Although the money loss may be recovered, the countless hours that you spend on unfruitful projects can’t. You may also end up selling nonexistent services and poor products to your customers, making yourself vulnerable to charges of fraudulent practices.
Types of Work at Home Scams
• Assembly Jobs: Involves investing hundreds of dollars to buy instructions and materials to produce crafts and signs for a potential company. After producing the products, the company may refuse to buy your products because it doesn’t meet their standards.
• Multi-Level Marketing (MLM): Requires you to recruit new people to sell a scammer’s products or services. You often end up making close to nothing when the direct sales system crashes.
• Stuffing Envelopes: Tricks people into believing they can make $3 or $4 per envelope they stuff. If you apply, you may end up receiving promotional material asking you to buy instructions on how to get rich quick. The instruction will show you how to post similar job ads for stuffing envelopes.
• Online Businesses: Advertises how you can start your own online business and start making money fast. If you apply you will be asked to purchase a pointless guide to work-at-home jobs.
• Processing Claims: Deceives you into thinking that you can make hundreds of dollars a week by processing insurance claims for health care providers. Asks you to pay for training and to buy equipment and software in order to get started.
The best way to protect yourself from work at home scams is by not applying and staying informed of the outcomes. Remember there’s no easy way to make money. Every start up business and career requires hard work, resources, and luck.

The Truth Behind Nigerian Scams
• Emerged in the early 1980s under consecutive governments of Nigeria.
• Constitutes the 3rd to the 5th largest industry in Nigeria.
• May be also referred to as an advanced fee fraud, 419 fraud, The Nigerian Connection, and 419 – a section of the criminal code of Nigeria
• Authorities often don’t recover the cash raked in from victims.
• Perpetrators are often West Africans, predominantly Nigerians, who work from Nigeria and abroad.
• Nigerian scams remain a confidence fraud, not a cyber crime, tapping into all avenues of communications.
How Nigerian Scams Work
The potential victim of a Nigerian scam receives a letter via spam, fax, or mail. The letter requests the recipient to aid in laundering money out of the country or another illegal job in return for a huge sum of money. Many variations of the Nigerian scam letter exists, but most request a small amount of money to help transfer an incredible amount of wealth in return for a substantial monetary award.
However, if the recipient chooses to pay the upfront fee to help transfer the money. The recipient will often receive another request for a transfer fee with a promise of even more cash. This continues until the recipient runs out of money or the scammer moves on to fresh bait.
Some scammers may even request your personal information, like your bank account or credit card number, so they can transfer the non-existent cash award to you, making it important to know that whenever you give your personal information online or over the phone you open yourself to the possibilities of falling victim to identity theft, credit card fraud, insurance fraud, internet fraud, and more scams. So, take the extra step to protect your personal information and discard Nigerian scam letters and other unsolicited emails, services, and requests.
Recipients of Nigerian Scams
If you receive a Nigerian scam letter through any means of communication, you should do the following:
• Discard the letter and don’t respond
• Post a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or www.ic3.gov/
• File a complaint to the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at www.efccnigeria.org/, if you’ve lost money
• Write a letter to the email provider of the scammer at the abuse address, if you received the scam through your free email provider. Remember to include the letter you’ve received plus its headers and subject line in the complaint.

Nancy asks…

Suggestions on Jobs in fitness and travel combined?

I have been a Gym instructor for 2yrs and haven’t yet been able to get a job in this country at least.
I really love to travel and would like to combine health and fitness with travel any suggestions please, 25yr and would like to train for a career before I’m 30yr.

dknol answers:

(1) Try getting a job in Dubai.
You can easily visit now….and then look for a job whilst there.
I imagine there will be many opportunities for a good female instructor in one of the large hotels. Once you find a role…then apply for a work permit..the employer should be able to help you easily.

(2) Try to get a job on cruises ….you get to do your experienced role and travel too.

Good luck

George asks…

Health & Fitness Careers?

I am interested in finding a career within the health & fitness industry but am not really sure what careers are out there in this field. I am not really a good swimmer but would like to learn and eventually be able to learn to be a swimming teacher. Can anyone tell me if they are working in health & fitness what their job involves.

I am just looking to find out what is out there so anything you can tell me would be great.

dknol answers:

You could be a personal trainer or a director of a health club.

Lizzie asks…

What to do with a BS in Health and Fitness Management?

What are a few jobs I could get into with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Fitness Management?

With or without further schooling, please add if further schooling is required though. What pay rate could I aspect to receive?

Thank you!

dknol answers:

You can become a fitness director, health club administrator, parks and recreation director, personal trainer, corporate fitness supervisor, group exercise instructor, and other health and fitness related positions. You will develop the skills needed to work in private and public health facilities and for large companies that offer fitness and wellness programs to their employees, as well as for parks and recreation departments, sports programs, and other similar programs. A fitness club manager makes roughly $31- $61,000 a year. That includes salary, bonus, profit sharing, and commission. Usually further schooling is not necessary but the higher your major the more opportunities lay in front of you and increased salary. Hope this helps.

Donald asks…

What jobs work with children, psychologists, and studying how to be healthier.?

Im going into high school and I kinda know what I wanna do, I know that I wanna work with children, psychology, and something to do with health and fitness. Is there a job that has to do with all of these or what types of jobs are there out there in these career paths? But I wanna make good money too, Is that possible?
thanks

dknol answers:

There are those amazing Camps now in America, for Teen agers who are over weight.

It is a Team work.

The Psychologists, Dieticians, Fitness instructors, Assistants and Helpers, are adults who are very well trained.
They are mature, can speak within a Circle, and can control a group of Teen agers.
They are profoundly Empathic in a constructive and positive way.
They are dedicated. They care. They follow through.

I am thinking of the Wellspring Academy in North Carolina, for instance, a boarding School for obese children.

They achieve remarkable results.

It is your chance to be able to be so specific in what you want to do in life.

So, go for it.

Investigate about those Camps.

Train hard.

Gain maturity from life experiences, … And you will be able to do a lot of good.

And you will be enriched both financially and Psychologically.

Take care.

I don’t game a lot, I play cpu resource easy games that hardly require any resources. Other than that, I really don’t game at all. Unless you count low-key games like Warcraft III (not WoW) and other NOT graphic intensive games.

SO, on a scale from 1 to 10, rate it please. Oh, I’ve already ordered it, just to let you know.

I have the same computer, but in purple and i upgraded more stuff, but it is awesome.

You probably will get it earlier than you expected too.
