inmate mailing address made payable to the full inmates name Electronic banking allows friends and family members to send the funds online and correctional departments are starting to favor this

News Print This Republicans Like Higher Ed New America survey finds a more nuanced positive view of higher education among Republicans than previous surveys but a partisan divide on who should pay for college By Paul Fain May 21 2018 Comments istockphotocomDNY59 A pair of surveys last year from the Pew Research Center and Gallup showed deep skepticism about higher education among Republican respondents While subsequent less publicized surveys painted a more complex picture many college leaders and academics remain worried about whether Republican scrutiny could lead to more budget cuts or policy crackdowns New America is the latest on the scene with the release today of its second annual survey on Americans attitudes about higher education The Washington DCbased think tank tweaked several of the questions this time around But both installments found that respondents largely believe its easier to be successful with a college degree than without one And Republicans were generally positive about higher education and even their tax dollars going to support it according to the new survey For example 80 percent of the 1600 adults surveyed agreed strongly or somewhat with the statement that there are more opportunities for people who pursue education after high school so did 77 percent of Republicans The survey results arent all good news for colleges however as it found that just one in four respondents think higher education is just fine the way it is And New America also uncovered a substantial divide between Republican and Democratic respondents on who should pay for college There was little partisan split among the roughly 68 percent of respondents who feel that higher education needs to change Republicans and Democrats are in total agreement here Rachel Fishman deputy director for higher education research at New America said in an interview One notable divergence however is over who should pay for college The survey asked whether respondents felt the statement government should fund higher education because it is good for society or students should fund their own education because it is a personal benefit were closer to their point of view Fully 76 percent of Democratic respondents backed the government support statement compared to about 34 percent of Republicans Just 13 percent of Democrats agreed that students should fund their educations because its a personal benefit compared to about 52 percent of Republicans Likewise the survey found fairly large partisan splits on questions about whether respondents were comfortable with their tax dollars supporting higher education or whether states and the federal government should spend more to make college more affordable Even so almost twothirds 635 percent of Republicans were comfortable with their tax dollars going to higher education New America also asked if respondents had positive views of nearby colleges This one had broad support from backers of both political parties almost 78 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of Democrats Going Local Fishman compared the apparent contradiction of people liking their local colleges but being more skeptical about higher education broadly with the axiom of people hating Congress but loving their member of Congress That phenomenon also gels with common findings in Inside Higher Ed s surveys of college administrators who tend to see good things on their campuses and problems with the industry at large Among all respondents a majority said community colleges and fouryear public institutions are worth the cost 81 percent and 65 percent respectively Those numbers dip substantially for private nonprofit colleges 44 percent and forprofits 40 percent Yet on the whole New Americas survey findings which include demographic breakouts based on income race region and other factors as well as for the swing state of North Carolina should be far less alarming for college leaders than the results from Pew and Gallup While past studies have suggested Republicans feel negatively about higher education the new Varying Degrees survey tells a slightly different and much more complex story Fishman said in a written statement The priorities of either party can not be reduced to a yes or no in terms of government investment in education beyond high school That insight opens up a great deal of opportunity for continued discussion and collaboration Likewise results from a new survey Pew released last week also found partisan agreement on the benefits of higher education The survey found no partisan or ideological gaps in evaluations of American colleges and universities Roughly half of Democrats and Democraticleaning respondents 54 percent agreed with 51 percent of their Republican counterparts that US colleges and universities are above average or the best in the world Pew found Still dont expect some Republican politicians to stop challenging traditional higher education For example President Trump has questioned the name and purpose of community colleges while championing vocational education which most twoyear colleges offer during four public events in recent months Respondents to New Americas survey however are clear on the missions of community colleges People absolutely know what community colleges are Fishman said They feel very positive about community colleges Meanwhile Adam Putnam a Republican candidate for governor in Florida last week rolled out an ad about his plan to expand vocational training the Tampa Bay Times reported arguing that college is not the only path to success Today liberal elites look down on people who work with their hands Putnam said pressuring too many kids into student loan debt leaving them with degrees they cant use and bills they cant pay Be the first to know Get our free daily newsletter

Lists 7 Easiest and Most Common Fake ID States Published on January 26 2017 at 335 pm by Addison Nino in Lists Page 1 of 8 Which are the easiest and most common fake IDs states getting a fake ID is one of the most common problems teenagers face and its somehow a rite of passage for many of them around the country Those are the years that underage kids are not only dealing with hormones and SATs they also face a problem which requires a solution that might not be legal As their older friends are enjoying drinks parties and what it seems to be the good side of life under age teenagers are hunting for answers about the easiest and most common fake IDs America is one of only four countries where you need to be 21 or older to purchase and consume alcohol and you only need to be 18 to go to war In other parts of the world the drinking age limit is 18 and in some European countries its as low as 16 years old So its understandable why teenagers try to get fake IDs in America this article we will talk about the most common fake state IDs and how to replicate them Copyright nongpimmy 123RF Stock Photo For a college student in the US purchasing alcohol or gaining entrance to bars clubs and other 21 venues can be very alluring After all thats when the fun suppose to begin for them that phase in their lives where boys meet girls and vice versa Here is how can make the most of a grand party with our 7 Easiest and Fun Drinking Games for Groups And even though its cool to get a beer at dinner once you reach a legal age going out and drinking in those earlier years in school when you are not allowed to drink or drive tops everything The legal restrictions can be equally frustrating but dont despair there are ways to beat the system as there are many ways by which teens avoid the law There are always some adults around who can get you beer and cigarettes if you tip them well like 10 packs for 10 And check the 7 Easiest and Most Common Fake ID States Another option is to gain sympathy from the exhigh school guys who used to be in the same situation and who never left town Some teens grow up so fast they look like adults when just 16 or 17 They can buy you beer unnoticed and perhaps can also share some tips on how they got their fake IDs And then there are fake IDs With a fake ID you can purchase alcohol anytime anyplace including gas stations groceries stores restaurants and bars The fake ID is considered the safest way to go It is fake but not really because it looks real But remember having an ID that is fake can be problematic depending on the state as state IDs differ from state both in their general makeup and specifics Some state IDs are difficult to forge as they come with holographs and unique stripes that arent easy to replicate For example it is almost impossible to fake a New Jersey ID using common techniques When put under black light your name and birthdate appear in different places while an extra picture shows up in the top right corner Maine now has a 3D Hologram which nobody can scan A Kansas ID has all the drivers info on the back in small lettering that almost no one even knows about they just think its a line The good news is that America has almost 50 states to choose an ID fromWe will give a few tips about the easiest and most common fake IDs and the ones that are in high demand Start checking out 7 easiest and most common fake ID states But please consider a few points before you set your mind into getting a fake ID Dont get an ID from a state you will use it in Especially if you live in that state Its hard to hide your identity in a state where youve attended or still attending college So to help you out in ranking the easiest and most common fake IDs we searched through various Reddit discussions There were a few things we considered eg how easy it is to replicate a state ID the price of the fake ID how often it is used countrywide Heres a rundown of the most common fake ID states thank me later Loading 7 Easiest and Fun Drinking Games For Groups 7 Easiest and Most Common Fake ID Best Fake ID State to Use Best Fake ID State to Use In America Best Fake IDs in US Cheap and Very Effective Fake ID Fake Id of Connecticut Fake ID of Florida Fake ID of Georgia Fake ID of Illinois Fake Id of Indiana

Problems

Faced

Even

though

this

build

is

relatively

simple

I

faced

a

few

problems

while

building

The

dimensions

of

the

circles

are

very

important

As

I

did

not

have

access

to

a

laser

cutter

the

circles

have

been

cut

by

hand

not

by

me

and

I

faced

problems

while

fixing

the

LED

strip

and

the

glass

I

had

given

the

dimensions

to

the

carpenter

in

mm

but

carpenter

was

used

to

inches

and

hence

there

was

a

slight

rounding

off

in

the

dimensions

The

center

circle

where

the

LED

strip

has

to

be

stuck

HAS

to

have

a

circumference

of

exactly

for

the

LED

strip

to

fit

correctly

The

carpenter

had

made

a

larger

circle

I

had

assumed

that

a

with

a

heatsink

would

be

sufficient

to

power

the

clock

as

I

had

made

a

similar

circuit

before

and

it

worked

without

any

problem

I

had

not

counted

on

the

fact

that

these

LEDs

are

behind

a

oneway

mirror

and

consequently

have

to

be

much

brighter

The

first

trial

run

had

the

processor

hanging

whenever

the

rainbow

effects

came

on

the

bluetooth

module

getting

disconnected

etc

Thanks

to

friends

on

the

arduino

and

fastled

forums

I

was

able

to

sort

this

out

Bought

an

module

to

power

the

LED

strip

separately

This

module

The

touch

button

is

still

giving

some

problems

but

I

think

that

is

more

to

do

with

the

problems

in

earthing

in

my

house

rather

than

anything

else

Will

try

it

at

a

friends

house

to

see

if

I

still

get

the

same

problem

The

proximity

sensor

does

not

work

through

glass

I

had

thought

of

installing

the

sensor

behind

the

oneway

mirror

but

the

glass

blocks

IR

and

hence

the

sensor

does

not

work

I

had

to

install

it

below

the

clock

its

not

big

enough

to

be

a

distraction

or

look

bad

but

is

not

perfect

either

Planning

I

would

suggest

you

plan

all

the

features

before

you

start

building

My

wife

came

up

with

the

idea

of

converting

this

to

a

smart

mirror

also

and

I

had

to

cut

out

the

LCD

enclosure

with

the

limited

tools

I

had

at

home

a

drill

and

a

file

which

was

a

problem

Had

we

planned

for

this

enclosure

earlier

we

could

have

got

a

better

finish

Costs

I

had

budget

around

INR

for

this

build

but

we

changed

the

design

midway

and

added

more

features

so

the

final

cost

went

over

INR

But

I

still

love

the

final

result

TFT

LCD

Introduction

Ive

had

the

clock

running

for

nearly

nine

months

and

it

started

getting

stuck

erratically

The

clock

would

run

for

a

few

hours

and

then

stop

the

LEDs

would

get

stuck

I

tried

everything

to

troubleshoot

them

going

so

far

as

to

replace

all

the

components

except

the

LED

strips

one

by

one

But

to

no

avail

Long

story

short

I

have

narrowed

down

to

the

following

The

first

LED

in

the

code

remains

ON

at

full

brightness

at

all

times

This

caused

the

first

LED

to

overheat

and

stop

transmitting

data

The

solution

is

to

change

the

white

colour

to

Its

working

now

but

will

update

if

there

are

any

issues

up

it

always

showed

a

after

that

it

showed

and

the

sure

you

can

i

just

used

Resin Wood Coffee Table By imagellanic in Workshop Woodworking 55352 389 36 Featured Favorite By imagellanic jennakrugcom More by the author About Engineer by day Artist and Maker by night More About imagellanic I decided to make my own table when the cost of a table from a certain company was way too high priced and not the exact dimensions I wanted This prompted me to look at Pinterest for cool table Ideas that I wanted to DIY I found a whole bunch of ResinWood tables and decided to make my own as I was already using resin to do abstract flow painting and was pretty familiar with how to color it Ask Question Comment Step 1 Planning After some sketches I decided to try a simple design I knew a lot of the design decisions would depend on what lumber I could find but I knew I wanted to encase wood that had bark details and worm holes or fungus rot Something with character Nevertheless were my original ideas on paper Ask Question Comment Step 2 Gather Materials First thing I did was look up live edge wood slabs There I found websites like thelumbershackcom which gave me an idea for the type of wood that was out there to buy I ended up going to a reclaimed wood store near where I lived and found 2 pieces I could not decide between Each piece of wood was less than 50 so I bought both One Walnut and one Willow I then researched different resins and settled on Envirotex Lite I chose it mostly because I had worked with it before on other projects and was a common Supplies Piece of wood cut down to size Pieces of Acrylic Clamps Masking tape Envirotex Lyte 2 gallons Nitrile Gloves Golden Fluid Acrylic Orbital Sander Sand Paper in grits 60 100 150220 320 420 PolyCrylic Wood Conditioner Wood Stain Hairpin Legs Wood Screws Rustoleum Paint and Primer Spraypaint Degreaser Handheld Torch with extra Can of Butane Disposable cups and popsicle sticks Respirator that at least blocks sanding Plexiglas Dont skimp save your lungs In case you need to fix mistakes Acetone Heat Gun Chisel Step 3 Prepping for Pouring I wanted the table to be a cool kinda turquoise blue so I created test pucks next to samples of the two woods Upon seeing the pucks I decided to pick a ratio of 1 drop to 4 ounces of resin This ended up being a benchmark as I ended up adding more color once I began the pour So I needed to create the pen I peeled away the backing on the acrylic sheets and used extralong clamps to clamp the acrylic pieces to form the 5 sided box I then balanced the bottom on wood pieces I bought from Home Depot Remember to check that the pieces are not bowed or warped before buying I then used my phone to level the bottom so I could create a level surface for the resin which will spread to be level I probably could have used two more clamps on the long side of the 40x18 but it ended up working out okay For the wood I cut it lengthwise to fit the 40 length and kept the width This way two sides of the table would be clear resin Step 4 Patience The next step was to pour remember to check how the 11 ratio is measured for your particular resin Make sure to measure properly and mix thoroughly I didnt mix properly or something on my first pour and as a result my bottom layer did not cure properly in spots and proved to be a huge pain later on Measure 11 as specified This happens to everyone and it just made my life worse Once the resin is measured properly color as preferred and pour All you really need is 110 drops to maintain a rich and clear color Too much paint will cause the resin not to cure properly and the table wont be seethrough In addition this Step 5 Releasing the Table For my last pour of the table I ended up pouring excess resin in all of the little wood bark crevices on the top face For the final pour I do not recommend coloring the resin since my doing so caused part of the top to be discolored However the next step was breaking the table free from its Acrylic Mold I used a hammer and chisel to break the bottom off as the sides came off easy Unfortunately I was over zealous and broke the bottom acrylic piece I wanted to reuse it but that is okay Had I Step 6 Sanding I purchased a 30 Random Orbital Sander off of Amazon and bought grit in 60 100 120 150 220 320 420 The 60 grit basically takes material off which is what I needed for the top A planar sander would have been perfect for this job but unfortunately Tech Shop costs a kidney to join so I had no access Since this would be my personal table an imperfect Orbital Sander was fine by me Please wear protection I wore a respirator mask and safety glasses because I value my lungs and was covered in dust at the end Wear long sleeves and protective glasses so you have easy cleanup Its not pleasant This step requires patience but the end result is very satisfying Sanding the back with the sticky spots was a pain though I found the sticky spots when I started sanding which proved to be a mess Tip feel the resin before you sand It there is a sticky or soft spot just tape off the sides and pour a thin layer of properly mixed resin to the this will still retain the clarity of the resin and encase the sticky spot If you do accidentally sand a sticky spot you will have to do what I did and use a heat gun to heat up the smeared resin and chisel it out Acetone can be used to remove the sticky residue until you hit a solid layer but I found nail polish remover worked better than pure acetone READ AND STORE THE ACETONE I then sanded the chipped out part until it blended Some sticky spots I noticed were able to be sanded if I used a light touch with the sander and didnt leave the sander on it for long sanding heats up the resin Either way be careful and fix the spots with another final layer of resin or layers of polyurethane finish Step 7 Finishing To finish the table I cleaned off the surface of the table with a tack cloth and vacuum and then used some wood conditioner and stain to finish the wood and attempt to cover up the colored resin stain Once dry I went over with Polyacrylic water based polyurethane While the first coat looked good subsequent coats did not I recommend trying a spray polyurethane finish but polycrylic can do the job Coating with varnish made the surface of the resin really nice and revealed the crystal clearness of the resin layers Step 8 Legs Based on the geometry of the table I didnt want to see the legs through the resin so I had to settle for a three legged table I liked the look of hairpin legs and bought two normal hairpin legs and one hairpin leg with a long horizontal bar to add stability to the one leg side I bought mine raw and cleaned them with degreaser and sprayed them with a two in one Rustoleum spray I then placed them where I wanted and screwed them in and it was done Step 9 Summary While this table isnt hard to make there are a lot of little things that can go wrong I already have a commission for my second table and will do another Instructable on that There are a ton of additional new skills this new one will require me to learn It is important to double check every instruction or you will end up like me and add 10 hours trying to fix your mistakes If I have access to a planar sander I may refinish the table in the future Overall I will be keeping my table and am really Third Prize in the Woodworking Contest 2017 Post Comment We have a be nice policy Please be

ago on Step 9 Answer When you sand down the top of the table do you take it right down to the wood Meaning do you remove any epoxy that was on the top of the wood or is there a thin layer of epoxy on the wood as well azelinskie 12 months ago Can the evnvirotex lite resin be cut on a table saw I would be interested in making a waterfall edge JasonS409 1 year ago Thank you for the motivation to

Also you have an excellent eye for using the perfect color against the type of wood you chose This is a beautiful table I love your attitude and intelligence in your approach to the process youre a true creative DamitaC 1 year ago Im a little unclear about the mold it looks like cardboard but you mention acrylic sheets thanks 1 reply Suki_ete 1 year ago I LOVE IT _ BrainTwitch 1 year ago Beautifully done Thanks so much for such an indepth stepbystep I look forward to seeing your next one awade_99 1 year ago Gorgeous Table Seakiwi 1 year ago I wondered if you could have built the table upside down by setting the top of the wood into the first wet layer with the face down and then following your process That way the smooth surface of the acrylic would give a near perfect top I have some 30000 year old swamp kauri that is full of character so thank you for giving me the idea Love the table and great instructions 2 replies More Comments Post Comment

Investing Financial Analysis Data Mining For Investors FACEBOOK TWITTER LINKEDIN By Investopedia Staff Updated Sep 22 2009 Any financial educator will tell you about the importance of the informed investor Investors need to understand the different characteristics of their stocks and bonds as well as the companies that issue them One thing that seems to be neglected however is where to get the data to do your research After all what good is it to understand how to evaluate a companys earnings if we cant find out what the companys earnings actually are Corporate Filings Probably the most useful sources of information corporate filings provide investors with information detailing companies financial health future prospects and past performance This is the kind of information you need to judge whether certain stocks bonds or mutual funds are smart investments For mutual funds these filings will tell you the funds level of returns for the past quarter the funds expense fees and its portfolio holdings For the companies that you need to research when buying stocks and bonds these filings go through the companys balance sheet detailing financial health and future outlook Careful analysis will help you see how and where the company is spending most of its money how efficient its management is in creating profits and how positive the companys future outlook is Although many of these reports arent the most interesting to read and are sometimes difficult to understand they do offer a wealth of information that all different investors can use For information on analyzing companies see the Fundamental Analysis and Ratio Analysis tutorials Note that according to SEC regulations a company that has more than 10 million dollars in assets and 500 shareholders or is listed on an American exchange such as the Nasdaq and NYSE must file official documents for public viewing These regulations however do not apply to all companies so the smaller the company the more difficult it will be to track down good information about it Some small companies chose to fill out the filings required of larger companies but others do not EDGAR An acronym for the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system this service automatically collects and forwards regulatory filings submitted by different companies The most important regulatory filing the SEC requires of listed companies is the annual 10K form which outlines the companys performance for the past year The 10k must adhere to SEC standards and it is typically more comprehensive then the companys annual report For mutual funds EDGAR also provides all prospectuses online so you can find the specific holdings of the funds portfolio the maximum expense ratio that the fund can charge and even the kind of compensation the fund management receives Learn more in SEC Filings Forms You Need To Know The SEC provides free access to EDGAR at httpwwwsecgovedgarshtml but unfortunately EDGAR is not userfriendly Its difficult to find information and when you do its in plain text format The info is all there but you really have to dig to get anything of value Fortunately there are other sites that provide a better way of accessing EDGAR data but the downside is that they typically charge a subscription Direct from the Company Any company that doesnt have a website nowadays likely isnt worth your time Even most of the stodgiest oldeconomy companies have websites if for no other reason than to provide information about themselves When at the companys website look for an investor relations link There youll often find a downloadable annual report financial statements stock info company news etc Every year companies must send out annual reports to each shareholder regardless of whether he or she owns one share or 10000 shares If you are not a shareholder and youd rather read the reports in hard copy form you can typically order them for free directly from the company Larger companies like to use these reports as marketing tools Some thirdparty companies also make a business out of providing free annual reports of public companies To learn more about analyzing a companys numbers check out Fundamental Analysis For Traders Research Reports If you dont have the time to do all the research by yourself or you arent a fan of crunching numbers you can purchase reports from different firms Depending on who they write these reports for analysts are either independent buyside or sellside and they offer investors a professional examination of a companys current condition and future outlook Some of these reports are provided at no cost but most are typically in the range of 5 to 50 You can buy these reports from any brokerage from many banks and through financial web sites such as Yahoo Finance Websites Many different websites will offer information to investors for free on a payperuse basis or on a subscription basis The advantage of visiting financial websites instead of looking at filings to the SEC is that info is offered in a concise manner You dont have to sift through the legalese and market copy that companies put into their annual reports Read more about analysts in What To Know About Financial Analysts Conclusion No matter what you are deciding to investing in its crucial that you do the right amount of research so you know exactly where youre putting your money With
