ANY SUBJECT

BACKGROUND ON ANY SUBJECT


 When you're doing research or looking for information on a particular subject, it's a lot like a detective checking all his possible clues. The important thing is knowing who or where your sources are.

 In almost all instances, your first move should be to your encyclopedia. If you don't have an up-to-date set, there's always your public library.

 Most of the time, an encyclopedia will give you at least the general facts about your subject. You may have to check other sources for more detailed information.

 Thus, your next move should be to books that have been written on the subject. The subject and title sections of the card catalog or the bound volumes of computer print outs in most public libraries will give you plenty of listings.

 After you've selected a number of books for background information, check the magazines either directly related to your subject, or those carrying articles on the subject. Most of the time, you'll find that magazines will provide you with more up-to-date and timely information than books.

 To check out information on your subject in magazines, look in the Reader's Guide To Periodical Literature. Under subject and author headings, the complete collection of this guide will list articles printed in magazines since the turn of the century. The Suggestions For Use section will instruct you on how to read the codes under each heading. If you can't find your subject listed, think of similar subjects that might be related.

 If your subject is part of a particular field of study, there may be a special index that will help you. Among these special indexes, you'll find: Art Index, Business Periodicals Index, Consumers Index, Education Index, Humanities Index, Social Sciences Index, Biological and Agricultural Index, and Applied Sciences and Technology Index. You'll even find a Popular Periodicals Index which lists articles that have appeared in currently popular magazines.

 You'll also find that most newspapers are veritable goldmines of reference material. Most of the big city newspapers have computerized indexes. Several of the special national newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal also have reference indexes.

 Without a doubt, the New York Times Index is the most complete. In these newspaper indexes, subjects and people are listed alphabetically with the date, page number, and usually with the number of columns devoted to that particular story. About all you have to do to avail yourself of this information is to stop by the newspaper office, tell them the kind of information you're looking for, and ask their help in locating it within their index.

 Facts on File is a world news digest that's found at most public libraries. This is a weekly publication that's broken down into four categories: World Affairs, U.S. Affairs, Other Nations, and Miscellaneous.

 Editorials on File is a similar service that comes out twice each month. It is a survey of newspaper editorials that span a wide range of subjects.

 If you want to know about business trends, you should ask for and look at the Moody's Reports. These cover banking and finance, industry and public utilities.

 Most large public libraries also keep pamphlet files for brochures from various information services and government agencies. Be sure to ask about these.

 Whenever you have a question or want more information on a subject, always check first in the material that has been written about it. Public libraries and news papers are free, and will definitely point you in the right direction even if you don't know much about sources.

 One of the best sources of information is people.  

Money Broker

Earn $100,000 a Year, Collect
Large Fees Helping Others....and Borrow
All the Money You Need....

 Becoming a Money Broker is one of the easiest and most rewarding endeavors available. Virtually anyone can become a Money Broker with the smallest investment. You can start this business on a part-time basis, and earn large "Finders Fees," or open your own office and work full-time with absolutely unlimited income potential.

 Until very recently, the "secrets of money brokering" were closely guarded and known only to a few select bankers, investment corporations, and business consultants. No other business offers the potential income figure for so little investment! As an example, starting with less than $100, some money brokers have made $100,000 their first year in the business! This is the ideal way for a man or woman to supplement his or her present income, or change professions after a period of time. It is an absolute "dream-come-true" for the semi-retired, or retired office worker.

 There is hardly another business requiring less than $100 in start-up cost that can put you into a six-figure income bracket so quickly. None of them give you the power, prestige, or status - the respectability in your community - equal to that of the Money Broker.

 To get started, you'll need stationery, envelopes, and business cards with your own letterhead. When ordering, be sure to include your phone number. Also, have copies made of your Fee Agreement. We have presented a typical Fee Agreement form (which you may duplicate after eradicating the instruction we have given in the blanks).

 As we have stated, the investment in this business is small; when you have your stationery, envelopes, cards, and the Finder's Fee Agreement in hand, you have spent part of it. The other part will be discussed now, because you have to "find" both borrower and lender to really get underway.

 Once you have your "working paper," you will run some advertisements in your local paper under the headings "Money to Loan," or "Business Opportunities." Typical ads might read:

 MONEY AVAILABLE FOR BILL CONSOLIDATION,
 HOME REPAIR, BUSINESS EXPANSION, ANY
 GOLD PROCESS PROJECT.
 CALL Benson Tan 06-2361-8504725

 (This ad would be used to "pull" borrowers)
 BUSINESSMAN NEEDS CAPITAL FOR EXPANSION.
 EXCELLENT COLLATERAL AND REFERENCES. CALL
 JOHN JOHNSON AFTER 4:00 PM - 423-8821.

 (This one would be to attract lenders)

 In response to the calls or letters from prospective clients, you will have to be prepared (really be prepared by practicing) with the proper answers and sales pitch - i.e., (to the prospective borrower): "Yes, this is John Johnson. Thank you for calling. First I will explain how we operate. I'm a money broker, Mr. (USE HIS NAME). I bring you, the borrower, and the lender, together. I have many different money sources available -
banks, insurance companies, private investment groups of doctors, dentists, lawyers, and other professional people. My sources are in business to make money by lending out money. Let's see - I need to determine your needs and the purpose of the loan in order to properly prepare the necessary financial papers for formal presentation to the best suited lenders. I may have to take your loan request to as many as ten different lending groups in order to get the loan for you. Once I have an approval on your loan request, I'm paid anywhere from 2% to 10% of the total loan figure... important for you to remember, though, is that I don't get paid unless I get the loan for you. I do, however, charge a $100 non-refundable Application Fee to cover my expenses in preparing your request for loan papers and presenting this portfolio to the lenders. In a nutshell, that's how these types of loans are negotiated. Now then, how much money will you need?" 

Applebee's Pizza

Applebee's Loaded Pizza Sticks

Marinara Dipping Sauce

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
Parmesan Pizza Sticks
1 10-ounce tube instant pizza dough (Pillsbury is good)
2 to 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 3/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Optional (for the "Loaded")
3 ounces pepperoni, diced
3 ounces Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Prepare the dipping sauce by combining all of the marinara ingredients in a small, uncovered
saucepan and bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer the sauce for
1/2 hour. (The sauce can be made ahead and kept, refrigerated, for several days.)
3. Prepare the pizza sticks by first proofing the dough. Unroll the dough onto a cutting board and
straighten the edges. It should form a rectangle that is longer from left to right than top to bottom.
With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice through the middle of the dough lengthwise. This will
divide the rectangle into two thinner rectangles that will measure 4 to 5 inches from top to bottom.
4. Slice the dough from top to bottom into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces. You should have somewhere
between 20 and 24 dough slices.
5. Place the slices onto a greased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart and bake for 3 minutes. You
may have to use more than one cookie sheet. This will proof the dough so that it becomes stiff.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Oil should be at least 1/2 inch
deep if using a stovetop pan. You will want to use more oil with a deep fryer.
7. Fry pizza sticks 5 to 6 at a time for about 1 minute per side or until they are a dark golden
brown. Remove them from the oil onto a cloth or paper towel to drain.
8. When all al the pizza sticks are fried, arrange them once again on the cookie sheet(s). You
may want to line the cookie sheets with foil to make cleanup easier. Preheat the broiler.
9. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
10. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the mozzarella.
11. Combine the oregano, basil, caraway seeds, and garlic salt in a small bowl. If your oregano
and basil are fairly coarse you can use your thumb and first finger to crunch the spice up a little,
making it a finer blend.
12. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cheese.
13. If you want to make the "loaded" variety, sprinkle the pepperoni and sausage ove rhte top of
the pizza sticks.
14. Broil the pizza sticks for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with dipping sauce
on the side.

Your Dreams Revealed

Your Dreams Revealed

The Bible, as well as other great books of historical and revealed
religion, show traces of a general and substantial belief in dreams.
Plato, Goethe, Shakespeare and Napoleon assigned to certain dreams
prophetic value. Joseph saw eleven stars of the Zodiac bow to himself,
the twelfth star. The famine of Egypt was revealed by a vision of fat
and lean cattle. The parents of Christ were warned of the cruel edict of
Herod, and fled with the Divine Child into Egypt. Pilate's wife, through
the influence of a dream, advised her husband to have nothing to do
with the conviction of Christ.
But the gross materialism of the day laughed at dreams, as it echoed
the voice and verdict of the multitude, Crucify the Spirit, but let the
flesh live. Barabbas, the robber, was set at liberty. The ultimatum of
all human decrees and wisdom is to gratify the passions of the flesh at
the expense of the spirit. The prophets and those who have stood
nearest the fountain of universal knowledge used dreams with more
frequency than any other mode of divination. Profane, as well as
sacred, history is threaded with incidents of dream prophecy.
Ancient history relates that Gennadius was convinced of the
immortality of his soul by conversing with an apparition in his dream.
Through the dream of Cecilia Metella, the wife of a Consul, the Roman
Senate was induced to order the temple of Juno Sospita rebuilt. The
Emperor Marcian dreamed he saw the bow of the Hunnish conqueror
break on the same night that Attila died. Plutarch relates how
Augustus, while ill, through the dream of a friend, was persuaded to
leave his tent, which a few hours after was captured by the enemy,
and the bed whereon he had lain was pierced with the enemies'
swords. If Julius Csar had been less incredulous about dreams he
would have listened to the warning which Calpurnia, his wife, received
in a dream. Croesus saw his son killed in a dream. Petrarch saw his
beloved Laura, in a dream, on the day she died, after which he wrote
his beautiful poem, The Triumph of Death.Cicero relates the story of
two traveling Arcadians who went to different lodgings one to an inn,
and the other to a private house. During the night the latter dreamed
that his friend was begging for help. The dreamer awoke but, thinking
the matter unworthy of notice, went to sleep again. The second time
he dreamed his friend appeared, saying it would be too late, for he
had already been murdered and his body hid in a cart, under manure.

Carpet Remnants

Adding carpet remnants to your living room can be perfect for preventing your existing carpet from getting damaged. A carpet remnant is considered to be any remaining strip of carpet that is left-over from your carpet-installation process; remnants will vary in size and shape. They are typically cut down to a specific size in order to help fill in a carpet space that is damaged or that is getting replaced. When buying a brand new carpet for your home, chances are good that you saved all of the extra carpeting that was not used. You may have sold it, but most people choose to save their excess carpeting due to the fact that they know that they may need places of their existing carpet to get replaced.

Every once and awhile, people find that their carpeting has stains that they cannot remove no matter how hard they try. They may also find that high-traffic areas of carpeting look flattened and discolored. When you want to fix the appearance of your existing home carpet with a new one, you should first consider replacing the areas that are bothering you the most. One way to target highly-specific areas of your carpet for replacement, is by utilizing carpet remnants. Replacing your existing carpet with carpet-remnants is very easy to do and will look great once you are finished. The reason that you will end up with an excellent-looking carpet after adding carpet-remnants is due to the fact that the carpet remnants are the exact same color, material, and texture as your existing carpet.

For people who did not save their carpet-remnants, but need certain areas of their carpeting to get replaced, there are still ways to get matching replacement remnants. Many carpet-stores and warehouses carry a wide variety of different styles of carpeting that may match your existing carpet perfectly. It is always wise to shop around for matching carpet remnants before you put up the money to buy a completely new carpet and pay for its installation.

Most common colors of carpeting are relatively easy to find selling as carpet-remnants. If you are able to find a matching carpet remnant, you should know that by using it to replace your existing carpet, you will be saving a lot of money. If you need to replace a small room with carpeting, you should consider shopping for carpet remnants as well. Many times you will be able to find carpet-remnants that provide a lot of extra carpet. On occasion, you will be able to replace the entire carpeting of small rooms with just one large carpet remnant.

Even if you do not use carpet remnants to replace your existing carpeting, you should still realize that they may be useful. Some people cut up their carpet-remnants and use them in order to place under the legs of chairs and tables in order to prevent them from making a permanent indentation in your actual carpeting and the carpet pad. You may have also seen people using carpet remnants as a small mat in their kitchen area or to cover up a stained area of carpet.
