MURRAY ATTORNEY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to frequency domain analysis and more particularly to frequency domain analysis employing variable rate time compression.
2. Description of the Prior Art Frequency domain analysis has been accomplished by dividing the spectrum of interest in regions and constructing a plurality of filters each covering one of the regions. (J. L. Flannagan, Speech Analysis Synthesis and Perception, Academic Press, Inc., Publishers, i965, pages 122-124.) This technique is effective, however, the filters are both difficult to fabricate and expensive.
A newer technique (J. S. Gill, A Versatile Method for Short Term Spectrum Analysis in Real-Time, Nature, Jan. '14, 1961, pages 117-119), which requires a single filter detector for analysis has been developed. This technique translates the frequency band by a fixed amount and heterodynes the translated band with a programmed stepped oscillator in a mixer circuit thus scanning the band of interest past a frequency domain window provided by the single filter. The fixed frequency transposition is necessary if the incoming signals are to be handled in real time since a number of passes through the mixer are required. This technique eliminates the need for a plurality or bank of filters, however, the mixer involves a complex frequency translation and the frequency bandwidth of the analyzing filter becomes a different percentage of the transposed center frequency as the spectrum is scanned. Both of the above factors, to a limited extent at least, detract from the advantages derived from this technique versus the filter bank technique.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention contemplates a frequency domain analyzer comprising, means for sampling an epoch of an analog signal and converting the sample to digital representations, storage means for storing the digital representations under control of a write clock signal at a first predetermined frequency, means for sequentially reading the stored digital representation at programmed different rates substantially higher than the write clock rate to effect programmed steps of time compression of the stored signal, means for converting each sequential time compressed digital signal to a different analog representation of the stored digital signal, and filter-detector means for analyzing these analog representations to determine the frequency distribution of the energy contents in the original analog signal epoch.
One object of the invention is to provide a frequency domain analyzer which programs several difi'erent rates of time compression of a digital representation for an epoch of the analog input signal to achieve analysis by a single filter.
Another object of the invention is to provide a frequency domain analyzer which is inexpensive to manufacture and reliable in operation.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a single channel frequency domain analyzer constructed according to the invention;
2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In FIG. 1, an analog to digital converter circuit 1], which may take many well 'known forms such as is shown in Digital Computers and Control Engineering, R. S. Ledley, McGraw Hill Book Company, Inc., 1960, at paragraph 22-5, has its input connected to a source of electric signals in the audible frequency range. The source of signals is not shown, however, it could be a telephone line, a microphone, tone generators, or any other type of signal sources which are capable of generating electric signals in the audible range. Converter 11 may operate in the pulse code modulation (PCM) mode or delta modulation mode and will provide a binary coded representation on the output conductors through lln defining the instantaneous characteristic of the analog input signal. Output conductors Ila through lln are applied to a multichannel digital write gate circuit 12. Write gate circuit 12 has output conductors 12a through l2n which are connected by OR- gates 13a through l3n respectively to the inputs of a read/write buffer circuit 14 which can be formed from standard memory elements such as flip-flop circuits, magnetic cores, etc., as disclosed by Ledley supra at pages 679 and 699.
A multimode programmable control clock provides first a gate signal control W for enabling write gate 12 to permit the passage of the signals from converter 11 through write gate 12 to the buffer 14 via the OR circuit 13a through l3n. In addition, clock 15 provides a buffer clocking signal F, for writing the data from OR circuit 13a through l3n into the buffer 14 and sampling the converter 11 while gate 12 is enabled. Signal F is a repetitive signal at a preselected writing frequency as required by converter 11. This signal is gated in a gate 16 by the write mode, signal W from the clock 15. Thus, during the write mode of clock 15, data from A/D converter 11 is written in successive word positions in the buffer 14 at the frequency supplied by the clock on line F,,.
Buffer 14 provides speed conversion via independent read/write clock rates and may take many forms. It may be a sequential shift register or a random access core buffer with a number of word positions sufficient to record the epoch of the input signal at the buffer write frequency of the output of the line F,,. It will have as many bit positions in the word as A/D converter provides outputs 110 through lln. Typically for tone detection, converter 11 provides somewhere between six and eight outputs. That is, six and eight binary digits for coding the signal. In this instance, buffer 14 would have a word length of six to eight digits for storing this data and at a sampling frequency F of approximately 8 kHz., I60 words of storage would be required. Buffer 14 may be a core buffer or may include six to eight parallel shift registers, each synchronized by the shift pulsesF, from the clock circuit 15. Thus, the line F, would control the shifting of the registers. The first register would be connected to the output from OR circuit 13a and the last register to the output from OR circuit 13n. The intervening registers would be connected to the outputs of OR circuits 13b through lJn-l and all would be stepped by the clock output F received at the stepping inputs of the shift registers from gate 16. Many other forms of buffers could be employed. In view of this, the details of the buffer have been omitted since they are well known in the art.
When the input signal epoch of interest has been sampled and stored, line W disables and another clock mode line R enables a read gate 17 which connects the output bit lines of buffer 14 to the input bit lines via OR circuits 13a through l3n whenever the gate 17 is enabled. This forms an end around shift recirculating store.
In addition during the read mode clock 15 provides, in program steps, n mutually independent clock frequencies K,F, through K,,F,,. These may be derived from a switched bank of crystal oscillators or otherwise provided as shown by E. W. Poppengus et al., Single Sideband Principles and Circuits, Mc- Graw Hill Book Co., 1964, Chapter 8. Each of these frequencies is much higher than the writing frequency F, previously described. These are provided in sequence on lines K,F,,
through K,,F,. The stepping clock signals through gates 18a through 18!: and an OR circuit 19 to buffer 14 cause the recirculation of the buffer through its contents at rates proportional to each of the programmed n frequencies. Gates 13a through l3n are enabled by the R output from the clock so that these will only be applied during the multiple read or recirculate cycle of the buffer. For each of the K,F,, through K ,F, frequencies, the buffer is recycled clock once. The recycle frequencies are selected to effectuate frequency expansion of the stored signal from buffer 14 for either a contiguous band analysis or for discrete positioning of the input spectrum tones into the detection window as desired. The compressed is applied via a D/A converter 20 which may be the dual of A/D converter 11 above, to a band pass filter-detector 21 which performs a fixed bandwidth frequency analysis and detection. Band pass filter-detector 21 acts as a fixed window as the expanded spectrum is stepped past the window by the successive program stepping K,F,, from the clock 15.
A program sequence of read cycles is performed whereby a set of expanded replicas of the original signal are formed in sequence. Each presents a different portion of the original signal frequency space to the fixed frequency space of the band pass filter-detector. For example successively expanded spectrums of an arbitrary two-toned input signal are shown in the lower part of FIG. 2. Tone pair F and F from a parallel tone encoder are selected for the input example and are seen in the frequency spectrum versus amplitude plot as the input signal. Tick marks on the base line indicate the spectrum position assigned to the absent tones of the signalling set F F F F F and F A standard tone detection system would employ a fixed filter detector at each of the positions indicated. FIG. 2 lower portion depicts an arbitrary set of eight spectrums obtained for a selection of different time compression ratios (frequency expansion), obtained from different programmed read cycles of the stored sample representations of the input signal each at a different read clock rate. The single band pass detector with a fixed center frequency is indicated at W The presence of a tone burst within the band pass area will be de tected as indicated. The sequence of spectrums 1 through 8 in the aggregate present a progressive scan of the original spectrum by the band pass window such that each possible input tone position occurs at the center frequency of the detector once during the complete analysis program. The total program processing time can be short compared to the epoch of the signal. For instance, a typical time duration for the input signal is 40 milliseconds and the time to next service is 45 milliseconds. With 4K samples per second, 160 samples adequately representing the input signal and with the use of monolithic semiconductor storage capable of reading at 1 MHz rates, a mean compression factor of the 175 can be achieved. Thus, for eight tones the total detection program for a single line would take eight passes at 40175 milliseconds per pass which approximates [.8 milliseconds; therefore, more than inputs could be multiplexed with a single detector channel. Even though the time duration of the input signal to be detected has been compressed, the corresponding increase in bandwidth of the signal due to time compression permits faster rise time detector circuits so that the detection criteria remains approximately the same as in the prior well known filter bank approach. The spectrum analysis obtained with the above system is characterized by a constant percentage bandwidth window. This is desirable for the detection of tones or speech where the detection filters are generally specified in bandwidth as a percentage of the center frequency of the filters.
FIG. 3 illustrates the application of the invention to a multiplex frequency domain analyzer for looking at n independent signals on n independent lines and analyzing them in real time. Each of the lines is connected to a circuit identical to that disclosed in FIG. 1. A common clock is utilized and conventional time division multiplex techniques are utilized for distributing the clock pulses to the various lines and for sequentially-connectin the recirculatingI memories described in FIG. lyia a multrp exrng switch to t e digital to analog converter crrcult 20 and the analyzing band pass filter 21.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

1. A frequency domain analyzer comprising:

Comment: Maths and foundations of reasoning (Score 0) 135
Consider this assumption as follows:
(you can count) (higher than) (you can count)
and compare this with the statement 'X > X'. There must be a practical physical limit on counting, and by assuming this limit away, you are rendering the resulting reasoning system physically implausible. An effect known in classical logic is that from a single contradiction, using the rules of logic, you can logically derive any statement at all. The problem with the foundations of mathematics as they are is that they are incompatible with physical plausibility, and to naively shoehorrn in physical plausibility leads to logical inconsistency and 'weird stuff' appearing. I fear that this is the beast that theoretical physicists are actually wrestling with, albeit unknowingly.

Assert empty option in select tag
assert_tag :tag => "select", :attributes => {:id => "to_airport_id"},
:child => {:tag => "option", :attributes => {:value => ""}, :content => "--select--"}, :children => {:count => 4}
Different Options
The docs don't give any detail to what options are available, so I dug around and I think the only to options are :prompt and :include_blank
Test Example
UserMailerTest Example
class UserMailerTest < ActionMailer::TestCase tests UserMailer def test_welcome_mail user = users(:quentin) MyMailer.deliver_welcome_email assert !ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.empty? sent = ActionMailer::Base.deliveries.first assert_equal [@user.email], sent.to assert_equal "expected subject", sent.subject assert sent.body =~ /^Welcome to my App/ assert sent.body =~ /^Username: #{@user.login}$/ assert sent.body =~ /^Password: [a-z0-9]{10}$/i end end
This example is a modified version of the one in this blog post:

to produce the feed:
respond_to do |wants| wants.html wants.atom {render :action=>'index',:layout=>false} end
Better Description
This is really a bitshift left.
:expires_in option
If you need :expires_in functionality in Rails 2.1, you can use this plugin:
unobstrusive label tag
just use
and it works, just not ment for pure decorative labels :)
Turn layout off with render
Thats awkward, but the code below does not turn layout off:
render :action => "short_goal", :layout => nil
you must use false
render :action => "short_goal", :layout => false
removes underscores -> do not use for images etc
#does not work label_tag('aa'+image_tag('x_x.gif'))
print standard-looking messages during migration
Within a migration file you can use the say_with_time method to print out informational messages that match the style of standard migration messages. See the say method also.
say_with_time "migrate existing data" do # ... execute migration sql ... end #=> "-- migrate existing data" #=> " -> 0.0299s"
print standard-looking messages during migration
Within a migration file you can use the say method to print out informational messages that match the style of standard migration messages. The say_with_time method is also pretty great.
say "migrate existing data" #=> "-- migrate existing data" # ... execute migration sql ... say "updated all records", :subitem #=> " -> updated 5 records"
:null => false
To not allow a column to have a NULL value, pass :null => false. Seems silly, but that's it.
Some usages:
Code example

CSS columns
You can also use this in a partial to create blocks of content into columns without setting a fixed height. This one is two columns.
.clear { clear: both;} .block { float:left;width:200px;}

Content Item

 <%= cycle("", "

") -%>
Actual superclass
This class's actual superclass is Net::HTTPRequest, for some reason that isn't linked in here.
Be careful with overriding dynamic attribute based finders
don't try something like this:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_by_bar(*args) foo = super(*args) raise SomeCustomException unless foo foo end end
In newer versions of rails, method_missing defines find_by_bar when you first use it. By calling super, you're triggering method_missing and overwriting your custom definition! It will work the first time then break! Manually write the call to find!
Reset a form
To reset a form easily you can do the following:
Custom collection local variable name
Regarding the previous note from hoodow about using :variable_name to create a custom local variable name when rendering a collection with a partial, the argument should be :as instead of :variable_name, so:
render :partial => "video_listing", :collection => @recommendations, :as => :video
Require 'strscan'
To use the StringScanner class,
require 'strscan'
This method has moved
To help anyone else looking, this method is now on the ActionView::Template class.
Testing protected controllers
When testing controllers which are protected with #authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic this is how you can supply the credentials for a successful login:
@request.env["HTTP_AUTHORIZATION"] = "Basic " + Base64::encode64("username:password")
Must be set before the request is sent through #get or whatever method.
Doc in ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper
See ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper's check_box for documentation.
Creating additional cache stores
This method can be used to create additional cache stores for your application:
# creates a new Memory Store mem_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store # creates a new MemCache Store mem_cache_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store :mem_cache_store, 'localhost:11212', :namespace => 'other_stuff'
The method takes the same arguments as the cache_store config. For more information about that go to ActionController::Caching.
Useful in migrations
The most common usage pattern for this method is probably in a migration, when just after creating a table you want to populate it with some default values, eg:
class CreateJobLevels < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :job_levels do |t| t.integer :id t.string :name t.timestamps end JobLevel.reset_column_information %w{assistant executive manager director}.each do |type| JobLevel.create(:name => type) end end def self.down drop_table :job_levels end end
From Rails 2.1 onwards, the variable
affects how the JSON is generated. If this is true (default), then the JSON isn't like the one above. Instead you'll get:
konata = User.find(1) konata.to_json # => { "user": { "id": 1, "name": "Konata Izumi", "age": 16, "created_at": "2006/08/01", "awesome": true}}
(Note the model name is included as a root of the JSON object)
For Rails 2.1 generated projects, you'll see this in the config/initializers/new_rails_defaults.rb file. You'll need to set the value to false if you want the old behaviour.
ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false

If threat warrants, BART cops can block cellphones
The agency that oversees the San Francisco area transit system is authorizing police to turn off wireless communications in train stations
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — The agency that oversees the San Francisco area transit system is authorizing police to turn off wireless communications in train stations, but only for extraordinary threats.
The board of directors for Bay Area Rapid Transit approved the new policy Thursday. It limits blackouts to cases in which train passengers, employees or property are threatened or a substantial disruption to train service is possible.
Officials crafted the policy after BART was criticized for cutting cellphone and wireless data service in San Francisco subway stations to thwart a planned protest in August.
BART became the first known government agency in the nation to block electronic communications as a means to quell social unrest, and the action touched off an outcry among free speech activists and led to cyber-attacks by the hacker collective Anonymous.

Concrete Repair or Replace?
Ok, I bought an older home this past November and the yard had gone to pot. It is rather large and did have an old patio with a horrible cover which I promptly tore down. There are front and rear porches that are covered and good size in good repair. The walkway that runs from the rear porch to driveway has sunk into the earth in some spots causing water to pool at those points. The patio has cracks and is uneven in several areas and cracks are all the way through. I got an estimate on replacing the patio and walkway for a total of $2395 and they will fix the slope of the yard to correct the drainage problems. My question is, would it be less expensive to put in pavers? I just love them and at least they do not crack. I am 57 years old and though if I could perhaps utilize the patio and add the pavers myself while paying for the prep-work I could save a few bucks and get what I really want. A pergola kit! Has anyone ever set one of those kits up and how hard are they? Is there any way to fix the patio somehow? I also want to build a fire pit.
I believe it will be necessary to remove the concrete walk and patio before installing pavers. Pavers require at least a 4" stone base below for drainage - more if you live in a severely cold climate or plan to have extreme weight (like a hot tub) upon them.
You're right, pavers won't crack and they can be re-leveled if setting occurs. Yes, you can DIY the pavers. I did - it is a lot of physical labor but not particularly hard to engineer. Can't give you a price estimate but figure you'll need to acquire a truck load of crushed stone, sand and 4.5 standard brick pavers per sq. ft. Most likely will need to rent a transit (for grade determination), plate compactor and wet saw at various points through construction.
Personally, I am not familiar with pergola kits. Most likely footings for weight and anchorage are necessary and must be positioned and poured before building the patio.
If you go to "My Page" I have photos of our paver patio and of our pergola. Both were DIY projects and if you decide to undertake building yours I may be able to offer some experience.

Why does your browser use a crappy font for monospaced text? There's a setting for that. Mine uses Consolas. It's readable. And it differentiates between O and 0, and other characters that look similar (if not identical) in most other fonts.
No, then it would be mail fraud, of course. US law treats the two pretty much the same, however; both are defined in Title 18 of the US Code, mail fraud in Section 1341, wire fraud in Section 1343.

Cocker Spaniel Dogs can make good pets in Georgia if they match your IifestyIe. The American Cocker Spaniel is a sociable, sunny, affectionate breed. Cocker Spaniels are good gun dogs but are especially suited to be family pets. Cockers need human companionship, affection, and attention. Most Cocker Spaniels are wonderful around children. Cockers are usually easy to train but can be difficult to housebreak. Cockers are energetic and need lots of exercise, but can adapt well to an apartment or a home with a small yard.

Marilyn Monroe statue exits Pittsburgh after quick stop
Gentlemen who prefer blondes had a chance to see a 26-foot-tall one Monday, although she arrived in the Steel City in pieces and soon had to leave for a date in New Jersey.
This particular blonde was a sculpture in the form of Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. The work of Seward Johnson, the disassembled piece is en route from Palm Springs, Calif., to Hamilton, N.J., where it will be part of a 42-acre sculpture park containing 150 of his pieces. It will open May 4.
The artwork, "Forever Marilyn," weighs 36,000 pounds, according to a release. It stopped briefly at PPG Plaza and quickly drew crowds, gawkers and photographers.
Johnson displayed 15 of his works around Gateway Center in 2012.

Travel Blogs from Taunton
Arrived end of Day 2 - Taunton 18:20
Summary of Day 2: Distance cycled: 72.4 miles Riding time: 5 hrs 12 mins Avg. Speed: 13.90 mph Elevation climbed: 6463 feet Notes: After the 11% hill at start of the day (which was more) we decided against riding through middle of Dartmoor but still had a decent amount of climbing :) Another County ticked off (so far): Cornwall Devon Somerset (ended the day in)
Day 13 - 'Toytown' and 105 miles
Day 13 but Day 14 since I started - however yesterday i.e. Monday was a rest day spent at home doing chores and cutting the grass so not really a rest day....and yes 9.5 before and 9.5 after the grass cutting - oh ye of little faith.
Wow weather fantastic so slapped on the factor 30 on my legs, apparently the 30 means you can stay in the …
Day 2 The Corner House Hotel to Tromso
... away under the seats. We took off on time and climbed high above the clouds and settled down for a 3 hour flight. The in flight movie was on but I caught up with writing my journal and Sarah read till the drinks trolley arrived, out cam the sandwiches and Sarah's inflated crisps! It was not long after eating when we saw our first snow and wow! Just another hour to go and we will be landing in Tromso where we are led to believe it is ...
Heavitree to London
... main course Sarah had Cajun Chicken and I had an old favourite - ham, egg and chips!!! We had also our only alcohol today and the meal was very nice and not overpriced. if you are flying from Gatwick we would recommend staying here as great value. After our meal we went back to our room to catch up with Emmerdale and then the final part of Silent Witness. Sleep did not come easy as really hot and some noise from the room up above us and altogether we were both too excited to ...
When we arrived in our Wells apartment it is a massive 3 story house with around 8 beds.
The next day we went and walked around the town. it looked really nice I liked it.
And we went to a palace and my sister and mum went in and my brother, dad and I walked home.
We went to Glasonbury Tor. It was very high above ground level.
It was so windy up there that my ear drums hurt so bad until we went to a restaurant for dinner.

Ford EcoSport: What to expect
What we know
The Ford EcoSport is one of the most eagerly expected vehicles in India at the moment. Slotting in under four metres in length, the EcoSport will benefit from tax norms allowing Ford to price the compact SUV in an attractive manner.
It will be available with three engines options one of which will be the cutting edge 1.0 litre EcoBoost petrol engine that has been awarded for its class-leading performance and efficiency. The second engine option is likely to be the 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine. The third engine option is yet to be revealed.
The Ford EcoSport has spacious interiors for its size and can seat five people in comfort and has a boot space of 346 litres. The rear seats can be folded 60:40 to throw open a total of 560 litres of rear space.
Practicality is enhanced by the SUV's 200mm ground clearance and 550mm of wading depth. And while this is a front wheel drive vehicle, its 25º approach angle, 25º breakover angle and 35º departure angle will allow it to tackle light off-road tracks.

One of my British friends rolls her eyes in disgust when she hears me pronounce Monty Python Mahntee PYE-THON rather than Mahntee PYE-th'n, which is how everyone in the world except me says it (she says), even though my mispronunciation is listed as the preferred pronunciation in all but the Oxford English Dictionary, probably. (I can't afford an OED, so we'll just assume). And since I'm so very flat broke and will be, like most of you, dear readers, homeless by year's end, perhaps our still-employed friends will treat us to An Evening Without Monty Python, a sketch- and song-filled celebration of 40 years of the seminal do-gooding comedic groundbreakery of Monty Pyth'n's Flying Circus, to coincide with the publication of an unrelated 240-page paperback, Monty Python Live! (Hyperion) on Sept. 22. From the creators of the Broadway hit Monty Python's Spamalot, An Evening features musical direction by longtime Pyth'n collaborator John Du Prez and is co-directed by B.T. McNicholl and former Pyth'n Eric Idle, which gives it oodles of credibility, but it stars Jeff B. Davis, Jane Leeves, Alan Tudyk, Rick Holmes and Jim Piddock, which should keep costs down to a minimum.
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Sept. 23. Continues through Oct. 4, 2009

Official figures in Queensland reveal police filing charges against 240 children between the ages of 10 and 17 for creating and disseminating materials containing child pornography during the first 5 months of 2013.
Fairfax Media obtained the data which indicates a large number of young people charged with "sexting". This year's numbers account for nearly 40 per cent of youth charges since 2009. In 2009, 158 minors including 17 boys and 6 girls in Brisbane, were found to be producing and distributing materials containing images of child abuse and pornography.
The police reserves the discretion to file charges and prosecute the minors for sexual offences. Steve Loth, Acting Detective Inspector in Task Force Argos says the data only shows part of the problem. Authorities will have to consider the level of criminality involved. If the criminal behavior is serious, the more likely the behavior warrants a criminal sanction whether it they are offences involving coercion, threats or exploitation. This is opposed to a minor exchanging sexual content with the consent of another minor.
The police is not bent on prosecuting or punishing young people who are sharing sexually explicit images even if the content is technically criminal. Loth says kids will need to understand that once they send an image to someone else, they no longer have control over that image. The shared images might be seen by someone else other than the intended recipient.
Kids caught "sexting" by the police may only be cautioned to keep children away from the juvenile justice system. However, young people should know that once they are charged, they will be on record along with pedophiles and rapists. They will also be included in the sexual offenders list or find their names in the sex offender registry of Queensland.
Queensland's Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie says there was no immediate need for law reform. He believes adequate laws are currently in place to deal with "sexting" issues among the youth.

Client Service Professional Interview
The interview process was quite simple. It was more about getting to know me and how I interact with people. Very little questions about my experience. I was hired on the spot and sent to training on another site.

I applied online – interviewed at H&R Block in December 2014.Interview Details
The hiring process is fairly easy. Initially you're called into an office and you'll have your interview with a manager from that office although that may not be the office you'll be assigned to work at. They really just ask questions about your past work experience and why you would be a great addition to the company whether it be a seasonal position or even just a temporary job. If you get through the interview, you wait to hear from the District Manager which office you'll be assigned to along with your start date.Interview Questions

I applied online – interviewed at H&R Block in January 2014.Interview Details
I applied online (very professionally) in the fall, maybe late August or September, but anyways sometime around December I got a call from the office manager for an interview at one location. I wasn't feeling it, so I passed and lucky me the location I preferred hit me up too! We scheduled an interview date that worked for both of us and the morning of the interview I dressed as professional as I could: mall business pants, silk blouse, blazer, socks and shoes. You get the picture, and I always wore socks when I wore shoes in the office #mysciencelabs. A tiny woman introduced herself as the office manager, she was smiling and very friendly, I liked her immediately. I showed her two forms of I.D. my New Hempshire I.D. and passport. From there she asked me the normal interview questions, what was my last job, can I use a register, etc. Lastly we got to what days could I work and I told her my preferred days and hours and that was that. I think that was all that mattered, the days. I was very happy I planned out my work days before the interview, but I would later learn they are open to accommodating you where you need accommodation, just speak up and always, always be gracious.Interview Questions

Client Service Professional InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at H&R Block in December 2013.Interview Details
Got an e-mail on a Friday from District Manager asking when I could come in for an interview. Replied saying the following Monday afternoon would work. The interview was too easy. I talked a bit about my experience and the Manager came back at me with basic interview questions anyone could have answered competently if they were thinking. Example: "What did you like/dislike about the job?" The interview was a pure formality at that point as the manager knew I was qualified enough to do the work. Accepted their offer and started the on-boarding process which uses a temporary account; when your done there, you need a permanent account. Many people, including myself got snagged with problems in gaining account access. Don't waste your time like I did, trying to get help from account services at the corporate headquarters. Talk to your branch manager, if you know who it'll be, for help.Interview Questions
