Slow and extended release.[edit]

Hi delma1, it looks like my suggestion that one look for patents may yield results. I searched for: "“slow release tablets" manufacture patent" - Came up with a very large response (the terms were pretty inclusive). A random selection reads

http://www.pharmakodex.co.uk/technologies.html PharmaKodex has six proprietary technology platforms, five directed towards oral medicines…
Pharmaceutical controlled release tablets containing a carrier made of cross-linked amylose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose Document Type and Number: United States Patent 5885615 Link to this Page: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5885615.html Abstract: Disclosed is a pharmaceutical controlled release tablet containing an active ingredient in combination with a carrier made of cross-linked amylose in which hydroxymethylpropylcellulose (HPMC) with a viscosity higher than or equal to 4000 cps is added as an adjuvant. The addition of HPMC to the tablet permits to control the effect of enzymes, and more particular alpha-amylase present in the intestinal medium, on the cross-linked amylose used as a carrier, and thus to reduce the dependence of the kinetics of release upon the concentration of enzymes present in the medium.

Show me the Money[edit]

From a retiree, let me first say it isn't easy. There is not shortcuts. Motivation, yes. Shortcuts, no. Some people are motivated because they definitely need the money (i.e. food and shelter). Perhaps for some also they are motivated to get most any job due to lack of skills (i.e. migrants). I would say first to obtain a skill. It doesn't have to be real technical (however it certainly would help). The most important part in whatever you do, is to be the best there is in that field. This is going to take a lot of work. You have to be willing to put in more hours and work than most people. Always be the best in the field. Studied it, learn everything possible, watch the experts and follow their example. Get motivational tapes from the library.

Sales. Sales is an excellent field to make lots of money in. It can be most any sales, however commission sales produce the best results. That is assuming of course you are the best in the field. I was in real estate sales. That field can make you several times more annual income than the average person. But remember you have to be the best their is. The question perhaps is at this point, are you motivated to make large sums of money -OR- are you motivated to just find shortcuts. Foret about the "shortcuts". They are in the long run, the long way around. Don't do shortcuts (i.e. miss necessary steps in a proper procedure, cheat people out of their time or money, misrepresent the product, dishonesty). Always be honest, that is the shortcut. Building up an excellent reputation will then gravitate towards you the excellent "deals" where you make large sums. Those that have money are always looking for the honest person to do the services for them. Dishonest people or people that just want to take shortcut, are soon fired. Generally speaking, those that have the money got it honestly. An excellent person to get outstanding sales techniques from is Brian Tracy. Much of his material is in local libraries. In general I recommend to listen or read anything to do by Brian Tracy. He has outstanding tapes on motivation. I used to live in the same neighborhood as him (about a half mile away).

Real Estate. Get your hands on real estate. Donald Trump has got it right. Get real estate! Get some of his books. I know what you perhaps might say: But I don't have any money, how can I get real estate. Belive me, if you are motivated enough, you can. In the 1980's I had little money and we moved to San Diego. As you already know, housing in San Diego is expensive. To make a long story short, I ultimately owned dozens of houses. Many of these I obtained with little or no money out of my pocket. Some I was even paid to take off the owners hands. I just happened to have specialized in foreclosures, bank repossessions, Probate Sales, Estate Sales, and fixer-uppers. Ultimately I learned these specialities better than any real estate broker in San Diego County. There were thousands of Agents and Brokers, however since I put in more time and energy into learning these specialities, I became the best there was. I was in the top 1% of the real estate earners. Because I built up an excellent reputation, most of the bank presidents in Southern California of the largest banks came to me to have me sell their repossessions. I was having them call me. In the long run, its a lot easier this way. Then when there was an excellent "deal" I purchased directly from the bank. Since I was negotiating with the person that could make the final decission (i.e. Bank President, V.P., C.E.O., etc) and they liked me (because of my past honest dealings with them) they then would cut me slack and give me an outstanding "deal". You can make more money from such a "deal" than most Agenst or Brokers can in 10 years of working for commissions. However first you must build up an honest reputation. Then you will get "promoted" to higher levels. At these higher levels (whatever they may be) you then are dealing with larger quanities of money. When you deal with larger quanities, then more falls your way. Here is an example of just one property I obtained directly from the largest Savings & Loan in Southern California. This particular V.P. I had dealt with before. She liked the way I sold her properties. She then just called me directly when she had a repossessed property (from thousands in San Diego she could have chosen). One day she called me on a property they just received in Del Mar (expensive area of San Diego county). It was 5 blocks from the ocean with an ocean view. It needed little work. She had me go check if the people were now gone and if the property was vacant. I check and it was vacant and all locked up. I called her back telling her this and asked what she wanted for it. She said they didn't have a price yet, however their mortage with the back payments was around $300,000. I offered her $190,000 with a 2 week escrow. She took it. To make a long story short, I ultimately sold it for $515,000. Now the question is: How long would it take you to save up over a quarter million dollars? Most people will never do it in their lifetime. However there it was all in one chunk.
So I say, honesty pays. Be the best you are in whatever field you are in. Most fields (even being a waitress) will pay large sums, if you are the best and honest.--Doug 11:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Niche. Good question on that of a niche market. I believe one part of the answer is "timing". It just so happens that years prior to this there was very high mortgage rates. They the economy turn down and people could not afford their mortgages. They lost jobs that were taken from the area (i.e. companies going out of business, major contracts given to other areas). Then interest rates for mortgages droped so the banks could get business again. However in the process those that lost their jobs either 1) still couldn't make those HIGH mortgage payments 2) couldn't refinance because they didn't have income to qualify for a new mortgage or 3) fell so far behind in several monthly payments it was impossible to make up. Then they just let it go back to the bank. Meanwhile my "timing" just happen to be good since the real estate market then was picking up. I then "discovered" that many banks had these repossessions by contacting all the banks. Then I devoted all my real estate time to these (since I knew they were below the market and the banks were motivated to sell them fast). It was a "niche" for me. Is that still available? Probably not, especially under those conditions I just described.

However I will give you a couple of hints about real estate sales. To find a "good deal" it has nothing to do with the structure itself or the property. It has to do with the "motivation" of the owner of the property wanting to sell. The most important item to find out, when looking for an excellent "deal" is why the seller is selling. What is the owners reason for selling? How motivated are they to sell? Never mind about the property itself. That property I described to you where I made over a quarter of a million dollars, I bought "Sight Unseen". I knew the area when she gave me the address. I drove by it but never went inside. All I knew was that the bank wanted to sell very fast. The banker said something to the effect: "We have to get this off our books immediately and must sell it fast." I then asked her: "How fast?" She responded: "Very very fast!" I said: "O.K. then, I'll make you an offer right now of $190,000." She responded with: "That is a bit too low.". I answered: "However I'll close within 2 weeks." She answered with: "Don't you want to see the inside?" I said: "Not necessary!". She said: "Its yours...". Deal! It was all in the motivation of the seller. Find that out since that is the most important thing, when looking for an outstanding "deal". So while my "niche" may not be available, don't let that discourage you. You can make your own "niche" by finding motivated sellers. Probate properties and Estate Sales may or may not be there (probably not). Just look for motivated sellers and be prepared to act fast. Preparation is also part of the formula. You must be prepared to close fast. That's a couple of hints to start with.

Nope, did not just advertise I was a Real Estate Agent. That is essentually what all Agents and Brokers do. So since they all do this, it doesn't look anything different to the public than any other Agent or Broker. You don't stand out. You have to stand out in some way to be noticed. The way you do this is to "specialize" in something. I specialized in those type properties. I learned everything I could about those type properties. I ignored everything else. I spend all my time getting all the knowledge I could on just those type properties. The narrower your speciality, the better you get at it. Then you have more knowledge than anyone else on this very special "niche". That's when you start making the BIG bucks, because that type business gravitates to you since you are the "specialist". You probably have an interest in some "niche" that you like. Then become the best there is at that. Know more than anybody else, then you will beat them. Don't be like everyone else: Jack-Of-All-Trades and Master-Of-None. Be a Master-Of-One (maybe two). Now here is another "trick of the trade". Once you decided on this "niche" you are going to make as your Pursuit-In-Life: Eat, Drink, and Talk only this. Then let the world know: "I am a specialist in this niche." Fake it till you make it. Most people will not know the difference, since by then you will have more knowledge on this subject than they do. Continue learning more and more on your "niche". Make a "niche", instead of trying to find a "niche".

While other Agents and Brokers were spending hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars each week advertising in the newspaper on their houses (with elaborate splashy color pictures), I spent only a few dollars each week and got just as many potential customers (if not more). Now you are going to wonder: How in the world can that be? Here is how I did that. I ran a small 2 or 3 line ad in the real estate section with certain "buzz" words. These words were "forclosure", "repossession", "fixer-upper", "must sell fast". Anybody seriously looking called me, probably before they called the large ad from the large realty firm (i.e. Century 21, Coldwell-Banker, RE/Max) because they were looking for a good "deal". Always people seriously looking for real estate wants a good "deal". Give them what they want. They will change their mind of their parameters, if you can find them an excellent "deal". The buyer may say he wants a 3 or 4 bedroom house of over 2500 square feet. However if you find him a 2 bedroom house (that can be expanded) that is 30% under the market, he will buy this instead. The number 1 item that all buyers want more than any other item when purchasing a piece of real estate is an "excellent deal". All other parameters will and can change, if you find them an "excellent deal". Give the customer what the want (and what they want is a good deal). Tell them you "specialize" in nothing but good deals. Then ask them if they would be interested in a "good deal". Every time the answer is: Yes! Then show them good "deals". Use what they want as starter parameters, but show them good deals. Good deals are motivated sellers. So then all you have to do is find motivated sellers to find good deals. Always find out why the seller is selling (the "motivation"). Don't work with not very motivated sellers.
How's that for a starter course in real estate sales......... --Doug 21:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First customer: Assuming you are interested in being a real estate Agent, perhaps this might be an approach to getting the first customer. Then you have to define customer. Is this from the viewpoint of getting a Listing (i.e. selling someone's house or property) or is this from the viewpoint of getting a potential Buyer of a property?
From the viewpoint of getting a Listing, the important issue is to get an owner that is motivated to sell. They have to have a definite reason to sell (i.e. moving out of the area to a new job across the country). Contrary to this is an owner that is is testing the market. Don't get involved with this type of seller. You only waste you time.
From the viewpoint of getting an excellent Buyer: make sure they are qualified. Qualified means to make sure they can in fact buy a p[roperty, supposing you found just what they were looking for. I did this by having the potential fill out a Buyers Questionaire. In this questionaire I asked such questions as where they worked, their income, their CASH down payment available, and if they had been prequalified with a lender.
Are you thinking of becoming an Agent? Do you have a real estate license yet? What parts of real estate are you interested in? When do you get out of school when you would be starting you career in real estate? --Doug 13:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Entertainment Desk Archive[edit]

Hi - that bot doesn't update that table, I'm afraid. I've just made a new section on it for the Entertaiment desks, so all should be working now (apart from the template problem mentioned on WT:RD). Mart inp23 12:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I've just had to revert your changes to the reference desks (making them go from Jan 5th). The isse is that doing that will make the bot break, and issues such as changing the number of days should anly be adjusted (by me, in the bot's source code) when a consensus for change has been reached at WT:RD. Unfortunately, just changing the number of days appearing on the desks will only cause problems with the bot, and when I the adjust the bot there will probably be a load of arguement at WT:RD (like there is every time a change is made - many people felt that 3 days was too short a time, and taking it down to 2 days across all desks (as you did), not just the most popular ones is likely to cause Drama). Thanks Mart inp23 13:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :). And thanks for initiating a poll on WT:RD. Mart inp23 14:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am the Sock Puppet of Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Endgame1.

I believed that the block duration Indefinite on my original account was unsjustified therefore I created sock puppets.

It was done by Cabal Admins.

Their Reason = [1]

Why I put: I though to save space, and since it was no longer required I put it up for deletion, I did not delete it per se, it has to be reviewed by an admin before being deleted.

My Talk page is also protected & I don't want to email Tawker or Pschemp because they are very mean.

Blatantly violating Wikipedia policy was an inappropriate way to deal with this situation. If you are still unwilling to adhere to our rules and policies, we cannot allow you to edit here. --Yamla 20:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

*I am asking for my original account to be Unblocked, because the block duration of indefinite of the original account was not justified. Thats why I created sock puppets.--Delma1 21:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you attempted an RfA with a sockpuppet account makes it clear you have no respect for Wikipedia. Add to that the accusations below of "cabal admins" and I'm afraid there is no way this account will be unblocked. If you had seriously wanted to challenge the original block you could have done so. The way you have gone about it is extremely disruptive, highly incivil and displays completely the wrong attitude." Gwernol

I tried but the Cabal Admins made my original talk page User_talk:Endgame1 protected, so I was not able to do it. So I used a sock puppet. --Foundby 21:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, the phrase "cabal admins" is offensive and unjustified and is winning you no friends here. Second, you could have emailed the blocking admins or any other admin instead of creating a sockpuppet account. Finally and most importantly the real issue here is you created a sockpuppet account and used it in a highly abusive manner. If you been open about the nature of the account had used it to challenge your block in a calm and civil manner that would have been one thing. Instead you chose to launch a very ill-advised RfA and consistently abuse those who sought to help you, while never revealing that you were a blocked user. The block is valid and remains. Gwernol 21:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I justified Cabal Admins by this: [2] due to [3]. Tell me if I am wrong? And please unblock all my accounts:
