I've been fine-tuning a system that shows an eye-popping and with promising potentials, to get at least 3 numbers right in the Mega Million lottery. Even though I haven't won any significant prize amounts, I'm just turning the corner on a new discovery that I will test on the next drawing.
The numbers were "there" in my previous games-played but I didn't pick it from an extremely small pool of numbers for each set of the 6 numbers of the Mega Million. I'm so confident that no one is doing it the way I'm doing. I have research many sites for number predictions and theirs are long, drawn out, and complicated methods. Mine, is embarassingly easy with several algotherim ( not sure of the spelling) that leads to few accurate numbers possibility for each set.
What would be the best way to market it when I finally have success and win as much as I can at first ?
What is the best way to market a "system" that has huge potentials to win the lottery jackpots ?
There's no such thing as a system to win any lottery.
You say you have one and need to market it. If it indeed worked, you wouldn't need to market it. You could become quite wealthy by using it.
But, since you must market it in order to make money, it only means one thing. Read my first sentence.
Reply:find a way to disprove the law of average numbers
Each number has the exact same chances of another of coming out, regardless of how many times it hasn't or has been called int he past
unless their is weight issuies or computer matter of cheating involved and then you have a story

Independent variable and dependent variable? Is this correct?
I need 2 independent variables that need to be manipulated to arrive at answer to that research question. Also are they concrete and measurable?
Are women more aggressive toward female drivers or male drivers?
Independent Variable: female drivers and male drivers, the actions of the female and male drivers
Dependent: aggression.
Also if you can go into detail of why I'm correct or incorrect it will be very much appreciated. I'm having a very hard time in my research method 1 class.
Thanks
Independent variable and dependent variable? Is this correct?
Well your independent variable is measurable...however it should just be men and women.
The dependent variable would be aggression which should be measured by the men or women's actions.
Reply:The instructor for my psychology class gave us a good way to remember this (I actually posted a similar question myself a couple weeks ago!!). Each time you look at an example, you should say "Effect of ____________ on ___________". The first blank is your independent variable, and the second blank is your dependent variable.
In this case, I would think you are looking at the "effect of the gender of the driver (male or female) on the aggression of the female driver", which gives you the independent and dependent variable based on the sentence I gave you.
I hope that helps...this has been very confusing for me too!!

What do you think about the fact that in the midst of a weak economy, oil companies are making record profits?
I'm not saying whether I think this is right or wrong, just want to see what others think. President Bush says that it is a good thing, that the oil companies will invest their profits in the economy and research. Others wonder why the oil companies would do research when to invest in research into other forms of energy and energy-saving methods is to their disadvantage in every way. Ready, Set, Think!
What do you think about the fact that in the midst of a weak economy, oil companies are making record profits?
That's called capitalism.
It provides the internet, your job, tax supported social systems, and political support.
Don't like the fact that the oil companies AND THEIR MILLIONS OF INVESTORS made a nice profit?
Tough.
Go to the INS, tell them you're an illegal, get deported. Make room for someone who wants to be part of the solution and not whine about a system that works.
Thank you for your time.

Heck its hard enough right now, Its all most impossible to live easy with one job...let alone two..

What are the ways you can protect your art work from theft and forgery? What's used for detection?
This is for research for a novel, when art theft detection is used for businesses, homes, art galleries, studios and museums? What special methods are used through high-tech to detect a theft or forgery?
What are the ways you can protect your art work from theft and forgery? What's used for detection?
To detect forgery or to ascertain a piece as an original there are many methods. Most of them are low tech like comparing brushstroke patterns. The hightech analysis is using different wavelengths of light to analyze the pigments. In different times, regions, and different artist had access and used different pigments. In the past they were all natural pigments today there are a lot of synthetic pigments. In rare cases they will also take a sample from the edge of a painting to analyze the canvas used or chemically analyse the paint.
I am not away of any modern artist who use any sort of hightech method to certify their painting as original. If you wanted to make something hightech up it might be best to reference methods used to prevent fake currency.
Reply:I guess you don't need any high-tech anything to determine that there has been a theft of a painting. But there are such things as motion detectors and silent alarms that go to the police dept for when the painting is stolen. Forgery on the other hand would depend on how famous the painting is and forgery can also mean that some unknown has duplicated a famous painting and calling it original. In that case they would use tests such as ultra-violet light to determine the age of the paint pigment. I suppose there are professional art authenticators too. But I am not so sure there is any one and only hi-tech method of determining forgery.
Reply:I am not certain how 'high-tech' the methods have become, but I do not think that they have significantly changed the way they verify the authenticity of art work
there is a way of x-raying it to see if the artist painted something underneath. the canvas and materials are tested for age, pigments are tested. and dated scientifically. there are several methods. forensics has grown by leaps and bounds but I do not know how high-tech it has become. And, no matter what the science proves, it won't be able to say for certain who painted a particular piece. that takes an expert.
hope this helps a little

How do I get hard water stains off my car window and windshield?
I have had a sprinkler system and hot sun hit my car for weeks. I, through research and a lot of elbow grease, have managed to get the calcium stains off my black paint, but am having problems getting the circular hard water stains off of my windows and windshield. I have tried vinger based products, CLR, newspaper buffing, and other methods. I am wary about using a #0000 pad because I am afraid that I might scratch the glass. Any thoughts and suggestions would be welcome.
How do I get hard water stains off my car window and windshield?
it's very possible that the sun has etched the water into the glass and you will end up replacing the windshield but before you do that try 000 steel wool to take them out, if it doesn't take them out nothing will, and don't be afraid of it scratching your glass as I have used it for years on glass and chrome on old cars and have never yet scratched glass or chrome.
Reply:Vinegar and water 50/50 and an old T-Shirt.
ADDED:
Keep in mind it's not instant, you may have to rub a little and let the acid in the vinegar to break down the lime/calcium.
Reply:http://msxml.excite.com/info.xcite/searc...
Reply:White vinegar.... the cheapest and easiest way to remove hard water stains..... I mix half a bottle of vinegar to glass pluss and im good to go....perfect cleaner.
Reply:windex, and actually bug and tar remover works well but it leaves swirl marks, so use windex after the bug and tar remover
Reply:I know for road film, you can pour a Coke or Pepsi on the windshield. Pouring it over the windshield cuts through the film. I'd have a hose handy to rinse off. If you want to try this, might think about putting the cola in a bucket with a soft rag, and just wipe it over the glass. Then rinse it, well, and dry off, if you don't want to get it on the paint. It's for windshields only as far as I know. I've used this method for tough road film that won't come off of the window. You don't have anything to lose as long as you rinse it well and dry to a shine. Worth trying I would say.

What is the best way to negotiate with a vehicle salesman?
I am in the market for a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. It will be my first new vehicle purchase. Just curious if any experienced buyers have any advice or methods that you have found to work best to get the best price possible. I've done a lot of research as far as invoice price. I'm just needing to know more of what to say to them in order to get them to come down in price. Thank You!
What is the best way to negotiate with a vehicle salesman?
Here's what I did when I bought a new car last year. I decided on the model I wanted and found a dealer I liked and test drove it. I was pretty sure I wanted it even before I drove it, so I was prepared with info from sites like carsdirect.com. When we sat down to discuss price, I came straight out with "Here's the deal. I don't want to pay more than invoice (which is what Carsdirect was offering). If you can do that I'll buy the car right now." He left and came back with the sales manager. I ended up paying $100 over invoice. Don't be afraid to leave. There are plenty of dealers and they know that. You walking out the door is their worst nightmare!

Reply:Do your home work before you talk to them, find out whats fare for you and them,(they have to make some money) When you find that fare number call up different dealers and say I want this car with these things on it for this amount of money.

I just bought a Honda accord that way, I gave him a check for $21,000. and he gave me the keys to the Honda.
Reply:The thing about paying over invoice is not too new. You see the invoice is what the dealer has to pay for the vehicle if he sells ONE vehicle. But if he sells for example 100 vehicles, the dealer gets a rebate so in actuality some cars he may pay way below invoice.
But shop around. Don't be fooled by the: My boss is not in and I can sell it at this special price OR I have not sold anything all week but I can let you have it for this price. OR he may loan you a car and then when you come back say that you can have the vehicle you want with a bigger down payment or that your payments may be larger than originally stated. Yes, all tricks of the trade to sucker you in. But be prepared.

Reply:Above all do NOT let them try to talk you into giving them an amount you are willing to pay monthly. Negotiate only on the amunt you are willing to spend. Having a good cash down payment and something to trade in helps too. Do not lease and talk only in terms of what you are willing to spend as a whole, not on the monthly payment.The reason? Because there are way too many ways they can get you a good vehicle with a seemingly low monthly payment, but you will end up with an expensive one, that has high personal property tax and you will probably end up signing a lease. Be very firm on the absolute max you are willing to pay. It may take them a few weeks to find you what you are looking for at the price you want, but if they want your business, they WILL find you what you want. I worked with salesmen for several years, and my mother worked for a dealer for 26 yrs. Be firm and be willing to leave them high and dry if they get too pushy or won't listen.
