text: Programming the chip settings. REQUIREMENTS Inverting buffers for changing the 16F88 RS-232 pins to correct logic levels. A simple circuit as shown in the included diagrams using a 4049 CMOS chip will do. Dumb terminal, or a terminal program for PC (need rs232 serial port). HOW Connect buffer to PC and Morse ID unit and use a terminal program set to 9600baud, 8 bit, no parity, one stop bit, no handshake… Due to slow speed of eeprom writing HAND TYPE COMMANDS ONLY, not by file transfer. Windows "terminal.exe" program as issued in windows 3.1 is suitable. I have had issues with HYPER TERMINAL supplied in later windows versions. Short the "Boot up RS-232 program enable" input (ra7) to ground while powering up circuit. The available commands are pt or pd , lower case only. Any other key press will result in RS-232 output being sent to PC without data being updated, so time and morse ident data can be checked . Enter commands exactly as shown in the examples. pt followed by two digits for hours, another two digits for minutes, and another two digits for seconds. E.G. To alter delay time to 5 seconds type in pt000005 . For 5 minute delay, type in pt000500. There is no error checking in this section of code, so it is possible to enter invalid times if a wrong key is pressed. E.G. it is possible to enter 99 seconds or 99 minutes, but I can not be sure what will happen using time delays over 59 seconds or 59 minutes Once pt and six digits are entered, the ID unit will output its' time and data info to the PC and return to normal operation. To re-enter time or data info if a mistake is made, the circuit needs to be powered down and restarted again. pd followed by text string of what you want to send. E.G. pd vk7dc burnie ENTER Only use letters (upper or lower case), numbers and spaces. No other punctuation is supported. Up to 245 characters can be entered. Start your input by typing pd and it is good practice to enter a SPACE to allow the transmitter to key up before code is sent. Also it is good practice to end text with a SPACE, and then to end the text input, hit the ENTER key. The ID unit will output its' time and data info to the PC and return to normal operation. If all is well, the terminal display should show something like this when program mode is exited: +++ 00 02 10 VK7DC BURNIE +++ Which means 00 hours, 02 minutes and 10 seconds time delay and VK7DC BURNIE will be the morse ID Remove short from ra7 input when programming complete.. SETTING UP THE MORSE ID UNIT * REPEATER MODE There are two ways to trigger the unit according to how your repeater functions. Unit idents when first triggered after power-up. The negative edge trigger (ra1) starts ident when taken to +5v and then returned to GND. Does not activate again until preset time delay ends and then another trigger occurs. The positive edge trigger (ra0) starts ident when taken to GND and then returned to +5v. Does not activate again until preset time delay ends and then another trigger occurs. * BEACON MODE If ra0 is tied to GND and ra1 is tied to +5v then the ident will repeat automatically with the programmed time delay between idents. * RS-232 If ra7 is held at GND when chip is powered up, then the RS-232 port is active for data or time programming. Returns to normal operation at end of program input. See Page 1 * FSK Output rb6 provides 0v at no-tone and +5v at tone. Can be used to drive your own audio oscillator, input to a morse key input of a transmitter or change frequency of a crystal oscillator for true FSK. * PTT Transistor collector (PTT OUT) pulls to ground when transmitting, or alternately, rb7 can be used if you need +5v on transmit. * SPECS Current consumption ~ 10mA Supply voltage 8-16Vdc ID speed ~ 12wpm ID tone ~ 2kHz email@example.com 05 Jan 2009

To dispense with the information we are obligated to convey: Developer Anuman has announced the development of a new game based on the comic book series XIII. Apart from the title, XIII: Lost Identity, all we know is that it's coming to Mac, PC, iPhone and iPad this November.
Now, let's get to the important part. Among the many things we don't know about XIII: Lost Identity, the most pressing detail is obviously the potential involvement of David Duchovny, who starred in Ubisoft's XIII way back in 2003. We've discussed our lingering, perhaps unsettling love of The X-Files here on Joystiq before, so we're considering this a top priority.
Starting now, the comments section on this post has officially become the sign-up sheet for our new movement, "100,000 Strong for David Duchovny in XIII: Lost Identity." Make your voices heard, people!

Course: Series 65
I want to thank you for your excellent instruction and presentation of the S65 material. I barely passed the test with a 73, I was hoping for something in the 80s. I did spend a lot of time listening to your lectures and running practice tests but I could have done more practice since I wasn't getting consistent 90% yet. The last couple finals I should have gotten into sooner than I did because it was just a few days before the test that I got into that material, much of it "new". There really wasn't much regarding the inheritance taxes, or that "new" material. The main problem is that the wording of the questions has the effect of causing one to doubt what one thinks one knows. Often the process o elimination leaves 2 vaguely possible answers, sometimes both are actually correct and the best choice is not clear. A couple years ago I took S65 from Kaplan and while their info is comprehensive, it is hard to figure out what one needs to know to pass the test. TesTeachers seems much more manageable and adequately prepares us to pass. One thing I did to help study is that I copied, pasted and printed the practice test questions I got wrong so I could more easily review material I was having trouble with.Read moreCourse: TX General Lines - Life, Accident and Health Insurance - 2nd Edition

I really struggled with taking this test. I was just handed a book to study, told to read it and go take my exam. After failing the exam twice I was very upset and frustrated. I needed help, like a classroom setting, although I really don't have time for that. I heard about TesTeachers from one of my coworkers and tried it. It was wonderful! I passed with an 84%. I have test anxiety which makes it very difficult for me to focus on tests. I get so nervous, it's like the test is written in a foreign language. I got through that because I had taken so many similar practice exams through TesTeachers. Thank you so much TesTeachers!!Read moreCourse: 52 Hour California Property and Casualty Course

Top 5 Life Insurance Online Tips for Students
Mar 5, 2015Are you looking to make the most of your online life insurance course experience? These helpful tips will answer questions and point you in the direction of your true career path. Understanding is the first step to success, so decide where you would like to begin based on your previous achievements from core and focused courses. Utilizing the skills you've learned during your online insurance training program will help you create the foundation for future success in the always-flourishing life insurance and risk management industry. #1 Understanding Prerequisites There are a few different degree options for those looking for a career in insurance. The levels of degrees are: Associates, Bachelors, Masters and Doctor of Philosophy. Learn the differences between what each degree offers you and decide if you will choose to extend your schooling to reach a particular level. To get started in the insurance industry sooner, you could take an online examination preparation course, which would train you to pass the entrance examination. Once you've gotten licensed, your agency would help you learn the rest of the necessary information pertaining to your field while on the job. #2 Take Your Time Learning the Basics One benefit of taking online insurance classes is that you have the ability to absorb information on your own time without having to sit at a desk in a stale classroom. Make the most of your time by choosing to learn at your own pace to ensure the best retention of information. #3 Utilize Any Available Online Coaching Most online insurance courses will offer online coaching. This is usually provided by a real-life mentor, not a pre-recorded voice file nor instructional video. Ask real questions to a real person and receive real, helpful, and timely answers from industry professionals. #4 Practice Makes Perfect Train as often as you can with the information you have to work with. Quizzes should be available to you at all times, and you should be able to take them as many times as you like. Keep a logbook or use an online tool to record your most frequently missed questions in order to continue progressing in those particular areas. #5 Choose Your Career Path With several different career paths to choose from, be sure to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each professional position to decide which is best for you. You may find that you fit better as a billing specialist rather than an actuary assistant, for example. -

What You Should Know About Series 63
Aug 15, 2014Many may want to know more about the Series 63 exam, since it is required by all but a handful of states to be taken by those seeking positions as professionals in the financial investment industry. Unless those seeking licensing for the sale of investment products live in Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, Maine, Louisiana, Ohio, Maryland, Vermont, Puerto Rico or the District of Columbia, a passing score of the Series 63 test is required before a license is approved. Passing and obtaining a Series 63 license demonstrates that the candidate receiving it has basic knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations of the state in which they take the Series 63 exam as outlined under the Uniform Securities Act. It should be noted that many of the top brokerage firms also require the passing of the Series 66 test and financial advisors are expected to pass the Series 7 exam in addition to the Series 63. Series 63 Organizations Series 63, as well as other Series exams, have been prepared by the NASAA (North American Securities Administrators Association) and are all administered by the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), which was previously known as the NASD, or National Association of Securities Dealers. The purpose of the Series 63 test, as well as other similar exams, is to provide harmonization and standardization of security regulations and laws between all participating states across the nation, as outlined under the 1956 Uniform Securities Act legislation. The North American Securities Administrators Association has been the driving force for standardizing securities laws and regulations with its statewide efforts beginning at the organization's formation in 1916. From its start in Kansas, the NASAA has since brought organization to all U.S. states and territories except for the few mentioned above. The primary aim of the NASAA is to protect the public from investment fraud by providing securities investment advisors for the financial industry that have been licensed as a result of demonstrating quality, competency and ethics. The Series 63 exam, as well as other Series products, acts as a vehicle to help determine these traits. About the Exam Series 63 contains 60 multiple choice questions and 5 questions which are considered experimental and are used to help sculpt future exams. Only the 60 standard questions are considered in determining the overall score which requires a 72 percent or above to pass and equates to 43 of 60 correct Series 63 exam answers. Candidates do not know which of the five questions are experimental. The Series 63 test is scheduled within a 120-day window upon registration with the FINRA and payment of the $115 fee. It is recommended that candidates wanting to take the Series 63 test prep for it via independent study and/or by using the Series 63 study guide. If the candidate fails the exam the first or second time, they will be required to wait 30 days before retaking it. If a candidate doesn't obtain a passing grade by the third try or beyond, they will be required to wait at least 180 days before trying to get their Series 63 license again.
Series 63 Study Tips
Aug 12, 2014In most states, it is a requirement for those seeking licensing in the financial securities industry to first pass the Series 63. Developed by the North American Securities Administrators Association, a Series 63 license reveals to securities brokerage firms and agencies that the holder has at least a minimum knowledge of the regulations and legalities of security sales in the state of issue, as well as an understanding of ethical obligations and practices governing financial investments. Since a Series 63 license is required in order to sell securities in most states, it is extremely important that the Series 63 test is passed. Although the Series 63 exam can be retaken, a 30-day waiting period is required after failing the first or second time and 180 days must transpire before the exam can be retaken after failing the third, or subsequent, time. It is therefore worthwhile to prepare for the Series 63 prior to taking it. Following are a few Series 63 study tips to help you effectively prepare for the Series 63 exam. Series 63 Study Guide In order to get a format and content overview of the Series 63 test, download the Series 63 study guide from the NASAA website here. The various subjects are covered in the study guide including financial obligations, ethical practices and the acts and regulations pertaining to securities of the state in which the test is being taken. Uniform Securities Act Candidates planning on taking the Series 63 exam should also be familiar with the Uniform Securities Act, whose laws and regulations are used by participating states to govern interstate trading, customer account management and solicitation. Series 63 test prep knowledge can be broadened by also being familiar with business practice legalities, industry terminology and standards for record keeping. It is also recommended by the NASAA that test candidates review the organization's statements of policy and model rules before taking the exam. Use Flash Cards Flash cards are a great way to retain knowledge because they operate via repetition and visual assistance. Series 63 test prep flash cards can either be found on several online websites, or they can be made by the candidate. Flash cards consist of a question printed on one side and the correct answer printed on the opposite side. Take the Practice Exam A practice exam is available to further help candidates with their Series 63 test prep efforts. The questions on the practice exam are similar to what will be on the actual test and they will help the candidate gauge their strengths and weaknesses as well as make necessary adjustments during the preparation stage. Areas of weakness can be strengthened by applying more study time to those subjects. The practice exam can be retaken in order to determine if weak areas have, indeed, been strengthened. When to Study It is recommended to do the bulk of studying in the weeks just prior to taking the exam so that the information is fresh on the mind. Candidates that register for a Series 63 license are given 120 days by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to schedule their exam. Candidates can either prepare and then register and schedule their test right away, or register and study before scheduling an exam date. -
How to Pass the Series 63 Exam
Aug 11, 2014The passing of Series 63 is required by most states before a financial securities brokerage license will be issued. Although the Series 63 test can be retaken if failed, there are waiting periods of 30 days to retake the second or third test and 180 days for exams retaken after the third failure. Brokerage firms are also beginning to place more emphasis on hiring agents that have passed the Series 63 exam on the first try since repeated failures often equate to poor service or even criminal activity. It is recommended for securities sales candidates wanting to take the Series 63 test to utilize the available Series 63 study guide for preparation. Candidates should also be familiar with the Model Rules and Statement of Policy of the North American Securities Administrators Association, and the Federal Uniform Securities Act. Following are some of the main points concerning securities registration that are addressed on the Series 63 and that are also covered in the Series 63 study guide. Registration of Securities The Series 63 license candidate should first know the securities that are exempt from the requirements of registration according to the Securities Act of 1933. Exempt securities include those issued by the government and other exempt issuers as well as short-term debt instruments, which have a maturity of less than 270 days. Securities that are non-exempt must be registered with both the state in which they are sold, as well as with the Federal Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Series 63 license candidates should also know the differences between the three forms of registration: filing and notification, coordination, and qualification. IPO and New Securities Registration Another Series 63 test prep point should focus on IPO registration as well as new security registration by corporations. First time stock sales by a company to the public require registration with the SEC. These IPOs (initial public offerings) must also be registered with their appropriate state securities administrator. New securities offered by corporations must also be registered in the states where they are offered. Such securities are offered by corporations in order to produce new funding for operations and specific guidelines must be met when registering which should be known by Series 63 candidates. Non-Established Issuers and Federally Covered Exemptions A basic knowledge of non-established Issuers and Federally covered exemptions should also be part of a candidate's Series 63 test prep routine. Securities that are issued but are not in compliance with registration requirements, or are not initial public offerings (IPOs), must be registered via a process called qualification which is a complex procedure. Those obtaining a Series 63 license should also know that any issuer that is registered on the NASDAQ or U.S. stock exchange have their securities exempt, regardless of their type as mandated under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996. If securities license candidates utilize the Series 63 study guide as well as familiarize themselves with the other documents listed at the beginning of this article, they will stand a much better chance of passing the Series 63 exam on the first try.
How Failed Series 63 Tests Affect Public Investors
Aug 5, 2014People wanting to invest in securities often look at stockbrokers as they do doctors. When it's time to seek out a doctor for a checkup or after getting sick, many people simply choose a doctor and make the appointment believing that the doctor can be trusted, is highly skilled and has the best interests of their patients in mind. However, doctors are people that have different personalities and experience various problems which can radically affect their services. Brokers, too, are people and although the majority of agents hold a Series 63 license, some have received them only after numerous tries. What Is The Series 63? The Series 63 is an exam that is required to be taken and passed by potential financial securities agents before they can operate in that capacity. The Series 63 exam is officially known as the Uniform Securities State Law Examination and, as its name implies, it has been developed to establish more unity in the financial investment industry between states. Only a handful of states and U.S. territories do not require the Series 63 test to be taken as a condition of receiving a securities brokerage license. However, most leading brokerage firms do require a Series 63 license as well as the passing of the 66 exam. Not only does the Series 63 exam establish unity between state laws and regulations concerning the financial securities markets, but those that hold a Series 63 license have also proven that they possess a basic knowledge of Federal and state acts, laws and regulations governing securities products and investment methods as well as requirements for the ethical treatment of clients. The goal is to create an investment atmosphere in which the public can trust by supplying brokers who have achieved required licenses through Series 63 test prep and completion procedures. Not All Brokers Are the Same As has been mentioned, brokers consist of individual people that possess different motivations, maintain various performance levels, have varying degrees of intelligence and knowledge, and experience real life problems. This variance in performance by those holding a Series 63 license is evident, according to released Wall Street investor data, which revealed that basic Series 63 exams were failed at least once by over 51,500 brokers. It was determined that of those that failed the Series 63 repeatedly (more than once), were also shown to have the worst records for making errors, conducting bad practices and having tainted disciplinary records. For example, brokers that were found to fail their Series 63 test more than twice had a 77 percent higher chance of being reported for a misdemeanor or felony for financial-related incidents and 55 percent increased chance for job termination over brokers that passed the Series 63 exam on the first try. Choose Brokers Wisely Regulators of securities were notified of the alarming data and have responded by saying they would consider providing investors with more broker information. It is therefore wise for those applying for a brokerage license to insure they prepare adequately and utilize the Series 63 study guide. It is also prudent for public investors to inquire about test results of those brokers with whom they deal. -
What It Takes to be a Stockbroker: Series 7 Requirements
Aug 2, 2014The position of stockbroker can be both exciting and lucrative. The financial world is one of constant fluctuation so it provides a constantly new and shifting landscape that requires a good amount of expertise as well as a degree of instinct to successfully navigate its ever-changing waters. If you are both knowledgeable and have a knack for projecting the ebbs and flows of financial fluctuations, then you can make a productive career as a stockbroker. What about Education? Many people drop their dreams of becoming a stockbroker because they assume that they require an education in finance. However, that is simply not the case. Higher education is oftentimes advertised and sold as 'necessary' because universities, too, are businesses seeking those to buy their product: education. All that is essentially required for becoming a licensed stockbroker is to take and pass the Series 7 exam and 66 exam (or 63 exam depending on the state). Of course, obtaining a degree in finance can definitely assist with becoming a successful stockbroker due to the added knowledge gleaned from university courses. However, a Series 7 prep course will deliver what is necessary to start a stockbroker career as will a completed Series 7 online course. The other added advantage to having a degree is that you have a better chance of obtaining a broker-dealer sponsor which is one of the Series 7 requirements. Required Licenses There are two licenses that must be obtained before you are registered to sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles, the Series 7 Securities License and the Series 66 license (or Series 63 license depending on the requirements of your state). The only items that are not authorized for sale by stockbrokers under an NASD Series 7 are commodities futures, life insurance and real estate. An NASD Series 7 license is obtained by passing the Series 7 exam with a 72 percent correct score out of 250 countable questions. A good knowledge is required to pass the Series 7 so candidates should vigorously study for the Series 7 before attempting to take it. Series 7 licensing and registration is provided by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), while Series 66 is completed by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA). Series 7 Exam Details As mentioned, the Series 7 tests consist of 250 questions (plus 10 non-countable 'pre-test' questions) and a passing score of 72 percent is required. Candidates are provided six hours to complete the exam (three hours of testing with a one hour break followed by the remaining three hours of testing). Besides the above, Series 7 requirements include obtaining a sponsor, registering and scheduling an exam date online with FINRA, paying the $295 exam fee, taking and passing the exam, and finishing the registration process through your FINRA online account. What Are You Waiting For? Becoming a stockbroker is within your grasp. With some determination, a good deal of Series 7 prep and a passing grade on your exam, you can enter the exciting world of financial securities stock brokering and create an amazing career for yourself.
Stockbroker Educational Requirements
Jul 30, 2014A securities agent, better known as a stockbroker, is someone that assists individuals, companies and governmental agencies with decisions related to making investments and investment management. A stockbroker holding a NASD Series 7 license can give advice and make transactions on all financial products with the exception of life insurance, commodity futures and real estate. The career of a securities agent can be both exciting and lucrative. Ever-changing financial markets have to be closely watched and advice given based on what they will do and how they will best improve the portfolios of various clients. If you find becoming a stockbroker of interest, you may want to know what the educational needs are to meet Series 7 requirements. Higher Education Many brokerage firms require their candidates to possess a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, or business at the very least. This type of background coupled with NASD Series 7 knowledge required to take the Series 7 exam should not only make the candidate more efficient at securities product sales, but it should also help them to pass the Series 7 which can be extremely grueling. If you are seeking an advanced position in securities management or analyzation with a broker-dealer, you may be required to have a master's degree. Having an MBA (Master in Business Administration) plus Series 7 licensing will usually qualify you for a higher starting salary and faster advancement as well as an initial hiring bonus. No Higher Education If you do not have any higher education, your dreams of becoming a securities agent are not dashed, although it might make the process much more difficult. The main obstacle to not having a university degree is that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) requires that stockbroker candidates first be sponsored before registering for and taking the Series 7 tests. It can be difficult acquiring a sponsor without any experience or credentials. Also, the exam for the Series 7 NASD can be extremely difficult without any background knowledge of financial products and related subjects. The Series 7 exam takes six hours to complete its 250 countable questions and additional 10 non-countable 'experimental' questions. The national average score on Series 7 tests is 67 percent, yet a passing score is 72 percent. Training and Study A Series 7 Securities License can still be obtained without a having a university degree, it simply takes more commitment, drive and adequate Series 7 exam preparation. If you find a broker-dealer to sponsor you, they may also provide an in-house Series 7 prep course and Series 7 study guides to assist you. If you do not receive Series 7 exam prep help from your sponsor then you will need to apply additional effort in order to pass. You should sign up for a Series 7 online course or offline class and obtain a new or used copy of a Series 7 study guide. With a good deal of effort and focus, you can fulfill your desire of becoming a stockbroker without having to spend the money or time for a university degree. -
Steps for Series 7 Securities License Registration
Jul 27, 2014In order to provide more consistency and higher quality in the performance of those working in the financial securities industry, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requires that those involved in the selling of all types of corporate securities, except for futures and commodities, first receive an NASD Series 7 license. To qualify for the Series 7 exam, candidates are required to first obtain sponsorship via a broker-dealer. Once a sponsor has been obtained, the testing and registration process begins. Following are the required steps that candidates will need to initiate in order to obtain testing and registration for Series 7 licensing. Step 1 – Fill Out and Submit U4 Form Request a U4 Current Uniform Registration Form from your sponsor and complete it. The U4 consists of filling out information on employment, education and residency covering a 10 year period. Documents and explanations of any criminal convictions and financial issues are also requested. Once completed and submitted, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) will enter the U4 Form data into their system of registration and provide you with a user name and password. This information must be provided in full or the application for the Series 7 NASD license will be rejected. Step 2 – Fingerprinting and Background Check Some states also require that the applicant's fingerprints are submitted to FINRA and a background check performed before Series 7 tests can be scheduled and taken. The fingerprinting process usually applies of fee of between $10 and $30. Step 3 – Series 7 Exam Registration Once all required information has been submitted to FINRA, register for the Series 7 exam and receive a testing date. The cost of the exam is $295, consists of 250 questions plus 10 non-applicable 'pre-test' questions, and must be completed within six hours. Step 4 - Study Series 7 tests can be quite difficult and, therefore, it is advisable to engage in Series 7 exam prep techniques. You can sign up for a Series 7 prep course, Series 7 online course, or purchase a Series 7 study guide as well as utilize other means of exam preparation. A passing grade of 72 percent or more is required to acquire a license and the national average for the exam is 67 percent. If you fail the exam, there is a 30-day waiting period before the next test can be taken as well as an additional $200 registration fee per attempt. Step 5 – Series 63 Registration Those acquiring licenses for the NASD Series 7 are also required to register for the 63 exam, which is also known as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination. This exam contains 60 questions (plus 5 'pre-test' questions) and also requires a passing mark of 72 percent or higher. Step 6 – Complete FINRA Registration Once all the above steps have been completed and you have passed the exam for the NASD series 7 license, access your FINRA account and complete the registration process. This process includes selecting the state or states in which you desire to practice securities sales. Each state selected may require its own application fee ranging from $25 to $285.
Series 7 Requirements for Becoming a Stockbroker
Jul 25, 2014Those wanting to process individual, corporate or government securities transactions covering stock options, corporate and municipal bonds, mutual funds, annuities and more will need to obtain a Series 7 Securities License by taking and passing a Series 7 exam. Both the exam and registration for a NASD Series 7 license are administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. The following information outlines the Series 7 requirements for taking the Series 7 tests as well as obtaining General Securities Representative Series 7 NASD licenses. FINRA Member Sponsorship Before a candidate can register for or take the Series 7 exam, they must first obtain sponsorship from a financial firm or company that is an active member of FINRA. This presents candidates with a Catch-22 situation due to the fact that most companies will not hire those without broker experience, yet that experience cannot be gained until candidates take the Series 7 tests and acquire Series 7 licensing. Therefore, it can take quite a bit of persistence before candidates find willing sponsors. One method for hastening this process is to first obtain a license via passing a Series 6 test which is less demanding. This can provide the opportunity of getting your 'foot in the door' where you can prove yourself. Once you show your commitment and skill at selling annuities and mutual funds, you can request support with Series 7 prep and taking of the exam. Series 7 Preparation and Study When a candidate acquires a sponsor, the next step is to begin studying for the exam which can be quite difficult. In order to successfully complete and pass the exam, a good deal of Series 7 prep is required. The test largely contains questioning on investment risk, retirement plans and options, taxation, prepackaged securities and equity and debt instruments. It can help significantly to sign up for a Series 7 prep course, as well as obtain a Series 7 study guide. Exam Registration and Completion When you have a few weeks of study under your belt, obtain a U-4 Form from your employer, fill it out and submit it to FINRA. The U-4 requires information on residence and employment for the past 10 years as well as detailed information on any criminal activity and financial troubles. The U-4 is submitted electronically to FINRA along with a copy of the candidate's fingerprints in order to conduct a background check. FINRA will then provide the candidate's employer with a testing date and user name and password so the candidate can access their account. If the applicant passes their Series 7 exam, they will access their FINRA account and complete the registration process. Taking the Exam The NASD Series 7 exam contains a total of 260 questions, 10 of which are considered 'experimental' and do not count towards a passing grade. At least 72 percent of the questions are required to be answered correctly to pass the Series 7. The average candidate score is 67 percent, therefore the importance of Series 7 exam preparation. Candidates receive six hours in which to complete the test. -
How Much a Stockbroker Can Expect to Make
Jul 24, 2014Many people are considering entering the financial industry as stockbrokers due to the ever-present atmosphere of excitement and the draw of making a nice income. However, those seeking to enter the financial securities industry want to know how much money they can expect to make before they commit to taking the required Series 7 exam and obtaining a subsequent NASD Series 7 license. Bureau of Labor Statistics Data First of all, hard data can be found under the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS. The BLS is the organization that is authorized to gather information and issue reports on all wage and salary data accrued by all professionals within the United States. According the BLS, the average median annual wage of those classified as stockbrokers who had taken and passed Series 7 tests was $70,190 in 2010. By analyzing 2010 stockbroker wage data, you will find that $31,330 was the figure of the lower 10 percent of stockbrokers while $166,400 or more was earned in the same year by upper 10 percent. Variables of Stockbroker Earnings What you might actually earn as a stockbroker with Series 7 licensing is dependent on several variables. Factors such as experience, qualifications, performance and geography will all influence how much money you actually make in the financial securities industry. Experience Your overall experience in the financial markets is one aspect that will influence your income as a stockbroker. Series 7 courses will provide a great deal of information that is necessary to pass the Series 7. Therefore, it is extremely important to obtain Series 7 study guides and take classes in order to make up for a lack of experience through acquired securities knowledge. Qualifications Although holding a Series 7 Securities License is sufficient enough to obtain a position with a broker-dealer, you will want to acquire other qualifications to achieve better pay. Besides gaining Series 7 licensing and the required Series 66 license, you can also pursue greater industry knowledge by taking other exams offered through NASAA and FINRA. The more qualifications you obtain, the greater are your chances for receiving higher pay. Many of those receiving only Series 7 training are required to start at lower positions until they gain more experience. Performance Even if you only apply Series 7 prep techniques to acquire a license, if your performance upon arrival at your broker-dealer sponsor is extraordinary, you could receive greater pay more rapidly. Although salaries are sometimes paid to stockbrokers starting out with only a Series 7 Securities License, much of the income garnered comes from commissions based on quantities sold. Geography Another factor that can significantly influence the amount a stockbroker makes with their NASD Series 7 license is where they are located. Those operating in Kentucky, for example, made only $59,060 on average in 2010 while stockbrokers utilizing their Series 7 NASD in New York captured an average of $135,700 annually. As you can see, if you utilize good Series 7 preparation techniques and acquire as much knowledge as possible, take other securities courses, apply your abilities and seek out profitable areas, you can make a good income as a stockbroker without much education.

This report is about finishing foam airplanes with Silkspan or fiberglass and Minwax Polycrylic, and I hope that some of you will enjoy reading about results of my experiments. Please note that Minwax Polycrylic is NOT polyurethane! The following is how Minwax describes the product.
Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish is a hard, crystal clear, extra fast-drying protective finish designed with the user in mind. It is non-flammable and has very little odor. Best of all, you can clean up with water. This product resists damage from abrasion, scuffing, chipping, water, alcohol and other common household chemicals. |
Here are the essential materials required to cover a small rigid foam airplane. The fiberglass on the left is 3/4 ounce straight weave cloth. The "00" Silkspan is standard hobby shop Silkspan. Take note of the corner that has been torn off. It shows clearly the "grain" of the Silkspan. This is important to keep track of if optimal results are to be achieved.
The photos above show the bottom of the completed wing. Outlined in red is the patch of 3/4 ounce fiberglass that was laminated underneath the Silkspan. The black outline shows where the Silkspan was overlapped in the center section.
Here is the top of the wing. Note the translucent nature of the material system including the fiberglass. Note also the slight bowing of the ailerons in the middle photo. This is due to the shrinkage of the Silkspan on the hinge side of the aileron. I covered the entire aileron so as to gain torsional rigidity. This torsional rigidly was achieved to a greater extent than had at first been anticipated. The ailerons are exceptionally light and stiff. Interestingly enough, the slight bowing is easily overcome with hinge tape and a fine hinge-line is produced. Basically, the bowing is not a problem.
This photo above attempts to show surface finish of the wing. This is with just a light sanding of the cores and straight Minwax Polycrylic right out of the can to apply the covering. I have not sanded the wing yet. A slight scuff-sanding with some 400 grit sandpaper and it will be ready for some primer!
Here I attempt to show the surface finish of the fuselage. This fuselage was shaped and sanded with nothing but 50 grit sandpaper! Where I gouged it I did use some light weight spackle, but, as this is and experimental surface preparation, I wanted to press for a worst case scenario. Of special note is I used 20% thinned Polycrylic to cover the fuselage in an attempt to save some weight. I can now state that I prefer straight Polycrylic with no thinning. In addition to being easier to handle, the resulting final finish speaks for itself.
Here are different views of the fuselage. With this technique, you first cover and then cut out all of the hatches. Then you can patch and paste and lay down strips, and then re-enforcing pieces as required. After the Silkspan is applied, you can make VERY crisp hatch lines!
The photos above are views of the covered empennage. I used the thinned down Polycrylic to do this. It added 3 grams of weight and did not add significantly to the strength, so I cannot recommend covering wooden surfaces with the water based Polycrylic and Silkspan. It soaks in too much to be controllable. Perhaps a sealer coat before application of the Silkspan would be better. On the next try, I think I will follow the techniques used by the R/C hand launched glider fraternity; they seem to have lightweight finishing of balsa wood down to a science. Still, it should be noted that the stock Coroplast empennage weighs in at 23.1 grams, so there is still room for weight gain to achieve a very nice finish and still come in under stock weight.
WEIGHT TABLE (in grams) | |||
Bare foam | Silkspan applied | 2nd coat of Polycrylic | |
fuselage | 34.0 | 42.0 | 44.2 |
wing | 42.5 | 70.8 | |
empennage | 15.8 | 18.5 | |
total weight, ready for primer: 133.5 grams ( 4.76 ounces ) |
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if a structure-less foam airframe could be achieved with fiberglass and Silkspan at an equivalent or lower weight than other construction methods. The use of Minwax's Polycrylic coating in lieu of traditional dope or white glue as a cost effective, foam compatible covering material was shown to be effective. In addition, it is actually kind of fun as there is no odor and it just washes right off your hands with water. The application method is simple and straight forward. Apply the fiberglass, brush on Polycrylic, apply the Silkspan, brush on the Polycrylic, and then let dry. It should be noted that the Polycrylic does not achieve full hardness for 2 to 3 days, so give it some time before applying flight loads.
Speaking of flight loads, I took the center section core bed and used it as a support for the completed wing and did a static load test. The wing deflected 3/4", at the tips, at 107 ounces total load applied mid-span of each wing half. This is approximately 6 G's. At this point, the test was stopped and an inspection was performed. The top of the wing was starting to buckle right where the core bed ended. This was the stress riser that limited the test. If I was to change any one thing in the lay-up of this wing, it would be to apply one more layer of glass cloth to the top, center third of the wing before applying the Silkspan. Still, my opinion is that this wing, as is, will survive any and all flight loads a speed 400 could place on it.
During this experiment, I was constantly trying new techniques. One of them was to compare 3/4 ounce fiberglass with 00 Silkspan, both using Polycrylic. The results were both surprising and encouraging.
If you take the wing as above and subtract out the foam weight, and then take the top and bottom surface area and divide that out, you get a covering weight with fiberglass reinforcement of 87 grams per square yard.
If you take the straight 3/4 ounce glass cloth and apply it with Polycrylic (no Silkspan at all) you get 50 grams per square yard.
That is a whopping 42% weight reduction! And it is so much stronger that there is absolutely no comparison.
This basically is saying that Minwax Polycrylic may be a safer, viable substitute for epoxy resin when fiberglassing raw polystyrene foam. Now, you still have to take into account the weight of filling the weave of the fiberglass, but Jim Ryan has already developed an excellent light weight method for doing just that. I leave it to the reader to give Minwax's Polycrylic a try. You might be surprised!
There is approximately $2 worth of covering materials used on this E-plane.
Yours truly,
Bob Kreutzer

Nope Just a thought, the spray may prevent the epoxy from being absorbed by the fibers...

TALLAHASSEE — A Florida appeals court panel said Thursday that 80 years is too long to keep a juvenile locked up for a nonhomicide crime.
However, the three-judge panel of the state's 1st District Court of Appeal also said uncertainty will continue over compliance with a U.S. Supreme Court opinion that rejected absolute life sentences for juveniles who haven't killed anyone until a higher court or the Florida Legislature addresses the issue.
The judges struck down an 80-year sentence for an inmate who committed armed robberies when he was 17.
A term that long is the functional equivalent of life without parole, the appellate judges wrote as they sent the case back to a Pensacola trial court for resentencing. They also urged lawmakers to follow the high court's guidance and explore how to comply with its opinion.
Judges across the nation are struggling with the high court's decision. The 1st District's ruling conflicts with some appellate decisions in Florida and other states that have approved very long sentences.
The Supreme Court decision doesn't limit sentence length but says juveniles must get a meaningful opportunity to seek release based on maturity and rehabilitation if they have been convicted of nonhomicide crimes. It also doesn't preclude the possibility a juvenile will spend his or her life behind bars but does "forbid states from making the judgment at the outset that those offenders never will be fit to reenter society."
The high court's 5-4 decision last year reversed a life sentence that Terrance Graham had received for armed robberies committed when he was 16 and 17 in Jacksonville. The majority ruled the sentence amounted to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment.
The 1st District's ruling came in the case of Antonio Demetrius Floyd, who received a new sentencing hearing as the result of the Graham case. Graham and Floyd were among about 220 inmates originally sentenced to life in Florida for nonhomicide crimes committed while they were under 18. That's more than 70 percent of the total nationally.
Floyd, now 31, committed a pair of armed robberies in Escambia County with what a prosecutor called a "realistic looking" pellet gun when he was 17 in 1998. He also received five years for auto theft. After the Graham ruling, Floyd was resentenced to two consecutive 40-year terms for the armed robberies.
That would mean he couldn't be released until 85 even if he received the maximum time off for good behavior, the appellate panel wrote in an unsigned opinion. He would be 97 if he served the full sentence.
"This situation does not in any way provide appellant with a meaningful or realistic opportunity to obtain release," the judges wrote. They cited statistics showing 85 years is beyond Floyd's life expectancy.
John Lucas, a spokesman for Attorney General Pam Bondi, said her lawyers were reviewing the decision. The options include asking for a rehearing and appealing to the Florida Supreme Court.
Bills were filed in the Legislature this year that would have helped the state comply with the Graham decision, but they did not pass. They would have let a judge reduce a sentence of 10 of more years for nonhomicide crimes committed as a juvenile once an inmate was at least 25 years old.
