I fell in true love in eighth grade or that's what my stupid brain told me back then.I was obsessed with this pretty girl! one grade below. Being a complete nerd, I only stole a few glances. But eventually we got to talking and I confessed my feelings for her, she did the same too.I was elated, I wrote cute notes for her and did a lot of other crap. Now word got around and people started teasing me. Eventually, people crossed a line.I'll skip the details, but I got into a very serious fight, that was blown out of proportion for all the right reasons. They were talking about getting me expelled. It was nasty.My dad was called. He was briefed about everything, I was the talk of the school, Every single teacher who thought of me highly now looked at me with disgust. How could one of the smartest kids in the school do this? I was being made an example of.My dad took me back home after spending an hour in the principal's office. I was expecting an earful and multiple slaps.We signNowed home, he asked me to get showered, have a good nap and told me he was taking me somewhere. I was scared. But I just listened to him.He took me on his bike in the evening. I had no idea where. But then we hit the market and we stopped at our favourite fried chicken stall. He got me a full plate.Dad: So you've hit the age haven't you, What did you like about her?Me: *silence*Dad: *smiles* You either answer me or you give up the chicken.Me: *Secures the plate* I liked her because she is pretty.Dad: Nothing else? *Chuckles* I figured it might be like that. Now listen here son, you're young, It's fine to have a few crushes, it's normal at this age, I had a phase too, but until you're in college don't act out on them. It rarely lasts. Take it to heart. You are a good kid, you're above all this.I won't stop you once you're in college, it's a good time to get into a relationship, you'll learn a lot about life and yourself.And the most important part. Don't chase women. You're a Man. Let them chase you. You're a good kid, you'll definitely have a girlfriend in college. If she wants to stick with you she'll stick with you. It's pointless to run behind someone. Someday you'll meet a fine Woman who is not just a pretty face. She'll treat you well. Don't hurt yourself in this vicious cycle. Let this girl in school go. If not her, someone better will come into your life when you least expect it. And it doesn't just apply to women :)Me: *mouth wide open*I always thought of my dad as strict, but I realised that day, His eyes glowed bright and warm, but with a twinge of sadness. I realised and learnt a lot that day from a man who has been through it all.Looking back on it, 8 years later, he was right. Sure I went back on his words a few times but it turned out as he said, never worked out. I wish I had realised sooner in life. I wasn't prepared to accept the bare truth. I thought being persistent would get me everything.No. He was right. Always.His predictions were spot on.Including the fact about a fine woman walking into my life when I least expected it. She stormed into mine. :)

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

How to Invade and Conquer Australia in 5 (or 6) Easy Steps – Operation Vegemite SandwichSo you’ve decided to forcibly take up permanent residence in the (about to be un-) “Lucky Country.” Good on ya, mate!Australia is a wonderful country to live in and/or conquer, but don’t expect that it will be an easy walk through the bush.  On paper, conquering Australia is not a particularly challenging prospect. With somewhere around 110,000 active duty and reserve personnel, and annual military spending below two-percent of GDP, Australia’s military isn’t as imposing an obstacle to conquest as many other countries’. This assumes, though, that you have the requisite manpower and equipment going into the fight. But while Australia’s military is small by the standards of most developed nations, its armed forces are very modern, have considerable combat experience, and enjoy a mutual defense treaty with the US that affords it access to US hardware, joint training exercises, and a contingent of Marines. So you’ll have to take particular care in planning your operation to maximize speed without over-extending your ability to sustain operations. As such, when designing your plans for the subjugation of the island nation, begin with: Step 1: Finding somewhere to startOne of the biggest obstacles to planning for the invasion of Australia is in figuring out how you’re going to get there in the first place. In the same way the US has enjoyed protection against invasion by being sandwiched between two large oceans, Australia, in case you need a refresher on your geography, is surrounded by ocean, and it takes a long time to get there from anywhere that could support your amassing of forces. This was a particularly vexing problem for the Japanese in WWII. While they managed to get Australia within range of its aircraft, they had to fight their way through the many islands of the southwest Pacific just to get within fighting distance of a single, suitable port from which to sustain the air raids.Ideally, you’ll want to avoid repeating this. (Wikimedia Commons)The Japanese's subsequent attempt to secure a port suitable to sustain a land invasion ended in a four month-slog over terrain that still tests people’s endurance. Even if you do secure either of these ports for your army, you’re still looking at a very long journey to get to Australia, which then puts you in the unenviable position of having a lengthy supply chain to sustain your invasion. But before we get into a detailed discussion about these challenges, the key to selecting any site and method of invasion is to first consider just how many forces you will need to conquer and subdue the population. When the US-led coalition invaded Iraq in 2003, they came with a population:troop ratio of approximately 259:1. US forces later determined that this was somewhat insufficient for clamping down on insurgency activities - which should very much be anticipated and planned for in any invasion of Australia.Going back to WWII for a moment, while Winston Churchill is often remembered for these immortal words:We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.Australia’s wartime Prime Minister, John Curtin, had his own, “We shall fight in the shade” moment:We will not yield easily a yard of our soil. We have great space here and tree by tree, village by village, and town by town we will fall back if we must. That will occur only if we lack the means of meeting the enemy with parity in materials and machines. For, remember, we are the Anzac breed. Our men stormed Gallipoli; they swept through the Libyan desert; they were the 'rats' of Tobruk; they were the men who fought under 'bitter, sarcastic, pugnacious Gordon Bennett' down Malaya and were still fighting when the surrender of Singapore came. These men gave of their best in Greece and Crete; they will give more than their best on their own soil, when their hearths and homes lie under enemy threat.In other words, there should be no question about expecting robust resistance. Indeed, Australians have their own brand of "resistance porn" that's easily on par with Americans'. So for planning purposes, that means at the outset of hostilities we should be factoring in a determined resistance by Australia's 61,000 sworn police officers.  Going only by the US’ 259:1 ratio in the planning for such an invasion would give you a force of 92,500. While this is just shy of twice the size of Australia’s 46,500 Army regulars and reservists, as we’re also accounting for the police in Australia to swell the fighting size to 107,500, the calculated invasion force would very likely be insufficient. In fighting a modern military and planning for a subsequent occupation, it’s usually better to go in with larger numbers than they have, especially when they’ll have the defensive advantage.  As such, I might recommend targeting a 200:1 ratio at absolute minimum, or 120,000 forces. If you have the resources to go above that level, do so. This takes us back to the question of where to put them all, ideally without their being noticed ahead of the attack. They’ll need a lot of otherwise unused land that’s can be converted into camp space without arousing a lot of suspicion, but while maintaining the ability to move through nearby population centers without bringing much attention to themselves. And again, all of this has to happen within rapid striking distance of Australia. Taking these criteria into consideration, there is, in fact, a perfect staging ground for the conquest of Australia.Whaaaat? (NASA/Blue Marble) Step 2: Settling inAustralians love to travel, and people love traveling to Australia. As such, last year, Australian customs managed 32.6 million border crossings (over 100,000 per day), which included the arrival of 7.4 million short- and long-term visitors (20,275 per day). More than one-in-four people living in Australia were born overseas; and since 2006, overseas born migrants have contributed more to Australia’s population growth than Australians alone. All this is to say that Australia isn’t a difficult place for foreigners to navigate and, if necessary, disappear into.Important aside: The above sentence should not be taken as official advice. So rather than commit a considerable amount of time and resources trying to torture a way to amass 120,000 soldiers and their equipment at a distance and get them to Australia under combat conditions, it would be far easier to disperse the army across several countries from which to set out to Australia by civilian means, arranging for each of them to obtain a short-term visitor visa (starting at $115 each) and then basic travel arrangements. It is more than feasible to organize the arrival of 400 soldiers per day at each of Australia’s seven major international airports (for a total influx of 2,800 per day), and have the entirety of your army in country within seven weeks without a shot fired. Furthermore, given that the minimum tourist visa is for three months (12 weeks), none of your soldiers would have risked being picked-up by overstaying their visas during this assembly phase. To minimize the risk, though, opt for 6 to 12 month visas if possible. The soldiers should also be provided with somewhere in the neighborhood of AU$2,000 - well below the requirement to declare cash at customs and not an entirely eyebrow-raising amount for a tourist to be carrying should they be examined – giving you in-country wealth of $240 million. With this amount of money, you could very easily buy a large plot of land in rural Australia that could be converted to a world-class training and operations facility. You might even be able to bring in more soldiers under “temporary” working visas to assist with the construction and cultivation of your “farm.”The other value of having a large plot of "farmland" in the middle of nowhere is that it would not be wholly suspicious for you to begin importing large amounts of farm and machine equipment to properly cultivate your land - equipment that can, ideally, be converted for non-civilian use. To get actual firepower, though, you will either have to tap into the flow of millions of illegal guns already in the country, or arrange for an arms smuggling operation that is capable of avoiding the detection of both Australian and international authorities. It certainly isn’t advisable that you keep all of your forces and equipment in one place, though. Building a single base with five times the population of Alice Springs from scratch in a few weeks might draw some attention. Better would be to purchase multiple plots of land in each state to serve as staging grounds, and further dispersing your forces to hotels, hostels, and rental properties within the major cities to maximize the surprise element of your attack. Your distribution of forces should be in roughly equal proportion to the distribution of the Australian army and police forces to ensure superiority across the country. This comes out to:Queensland: 32,950New South Wales: 32,250Victoria: 22,200Western Australia: 10,300South Australia: 8,750Northern Territory: 6,750Australian Capital Territory: 4,400Tasmania: 2,400With your forces arrayed and ready to pounce, you just have to be patient and bide your time until the right moment to strike. Step 3: Thunder down underCoordinate your strike to the absolute maximum extent practicable – you don’t want to give the Australian army time to amass and counter attack. Ideally, you’ll want to strike at night. This will minimize both the number of soldiers and police on alert status to counter your surprise attack and the number of civilians on the streets that could clog your troops’ movements. If you’re successful – and this will be entirely dependent on how carefully you undertook planning whilst awaiting for your army to settle into position – you should be able to seize a large amount of Australia’s military equipment before it can be used against you (and which you shouldn’t hesitate to use against any further resistance). Overwhelming success might compel a quick, “official” cease fire for the sake of the populace’s safety, but do not in any way consider that to be the end of your conquest. To the contrary, you’re just getting started.See, it's never particularly difficult to invade a country. With the proper resources and personnel, it isn't that much more difficult to win. The problem with invading and defeating a country is being able to hold onto your hard-fought gains; and in the case of Australia, your first mission will be to... Step 4: Stop the boatsAs the oceans surrounding Australia protected it from direct invasion, they now form a watery noose that threatens to strangle you.Australia has the capacity to be self-sufficient, but the life-blood of the Australian economy, oil (as it is for all developed economies), is largely imported. Expect whatever naval vessels which were at sea during your surprise attack to be more than happy to ignore whatever cease fire proposals have come out of Occupied Canberra, align with a “government in exile,” and proceed to intercept and turn back all oil tankers in order to strangle you into submission. In the meantime, expect the US to send its overwhelming naval superiority out to both assist the rogue Australian navy and soften you up for counterattack. The US Navy has five carrier strike groups across three fleets assigned to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, which have a total combined air power greater than all of Australia’s. Just one carrier group has more naval power than all of Australia’s - which, again, you probably have not managed to entirely capture anyway."I've always wanted an excuse to visit Australia. Can my friends come, too?" (US Navy)In addition to the contingent of US Marines based on the continent, the US has also forward-deployed a Marine Expeditionary Force of several tens of thousands of combat troops and a supporting air wing that have often trained with Australia's armed forces.Watching out for emus as much as your soldiers. (ABC News)Furthermore, while Australia does not have a formal, bilateral defense arrangement with the UK, its two informal defense partnerships (one multilateral, one bilateral) might very well compel the UK to come to the assistance of its Commonwealth partner.And in what could be a very interesting upending of international relations and power balance, you might also end up awakening the sleeping dragon that is China, which might not take kindly to the subjugation of its major raw minerals provider.While China does not have a blue water navy that can rival the US, it does have more than enough capacity for patrolling/interdicting in territorial waters. If they were so inclined, they might be able to negotiate the use of their neighbors’ ports until the crisis has subsided (ie, you’ve been defeated) in order to send a message to the world (ie, the US), “We’re the boss on this side of the Pacific, now.” In short, you’re going to need to marshal whatever captured military equipment is suitable for anti-surface and anti-air defense and deploy it quickly. On paper, I see no possible way you’re going to manage to win in a fight against the US – let alone the US and UK and (maybe) China – but, hey, miracles happen (if in desperate need of a miracle, jump to Step 6).You could attempt to take a page from the infamous naval wargame, Millennium Challenge 2002, and mobilize a (large) portion of the estimated 800,000 private recreational boats in Australia for a suicide rush against the US' carrier fleets; but whereas MC2002 was simulated in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, you will be charging the US fleet in open waters several hundred kilometers from shore, so they're bound to see you coming. So give this strategy careful consideration before you opt for it.Don't get your hopes up.  Once you’ve miraculously managed to mitigate the might of the world’s most powerful navies, you can start to think about consolidating your control over the Australian populace. Step 5: Beyond ThunderdomeAustralia has the distinction of being one of the most urbanized countries in the world, owing to the fact that most of the Australian continent is totally unsuitable for human habitation. From a conqueror’s point of view, this is convenient because it means you don’t really have to cover as vast a geographic expanse to impose your will over the populace (unlike, say, attempting to conquer the United States). You need only force the government’s capitulation, exert control over the major population and mining sectors, and leave whomever “opts out” of your benevolent (or malevolent – your call) dictatorship to their Mad Max-esque fate in the Outback.So much nothingness.However, as previously noted, Australians are unlikely to peacefully trade in their perfectly working* democracy for your totalitarian rule, and failing to assert control over the whole of the Australian continent gives the freedom fighters plenty of room to move around and cause you trouble - which they could very easily do.While Australia has a reputation for having very strict gun laws, the population is not, in fact, lacking for firepower. Some 730,000 Australians are in (legal) possession of nearly 3 million guns, with potentially millions more floating around on the black market. It should be expected that most of these firearms are being kept outside major urban centers, in keeping with Australia's licensing laws which permit gun ownership for use on farms and for rural vermin control.So, how do you keep a people who were once perfectly happy being not-invaded from shooting at you?On the peaceful side of things, I would suggest trying to their worries about their career prospects, but giving that you've just subjected their export-dependent economy to a naval blockade that would make Cuba say, "Woah," you might have made the task an order of magnitude more difficult than otherwise.If, however, you somehow managed a miracle of both forcing an unconditional surrender and getting Australia's allies to back off, the tasks ahead of you are:Maintaining public orderReconstructing indigenous security forcesDisarmamentDemobilizationReintegrationIn this process, expect to field questions from scrupulous Australian journalists about why an invasion and conquest was necessary to essentially give Australians back what they already had. For more on that, please refer to my guide, How to Shut Down a Free Press Without Anyone Catching On in 4 Easy Steps.Step 6: Break glass in case of emergencyAustralia has the world's largest proven reserves of uranium. While the Australian government has never (to our knowledge) officially embarked on a nuclear program, well, you've just unseated those poor bastards, haven't you? And while Australia might not have any nukes, it has the platforms necessary to deliver weapons of mass destruction if so constructed.So if you're finding yourself particularly under the gun, head to the mines, fire up some centrifuges, build a very crude device and go Kim Jong Un on the world. That should buy you some time to figure out a more permanent, less-nukey solution.Related reading: Carter Moore's answer to How much does it cost to build a nuclear weapon and ICBM from 'scratch'?This guide is part of my ongoing series on how to conquer the English-speaking world.

Any person who is engaged in the business of selling tobacco products as a distributor in the State of Virginia is required to obtain a license from the Department of taxation. Distributor license is obtained separately for each place of business.

There is a wide range of rates in different states. Missouri, for instance, levies the lowest tax in the country at $0.17. Virginia ($0.30), Georgia ($0.37), North Dakota ($0.44), and North Carolina ($0.45) also levy low rates.

The lowest prices are generally concentrated in the eastern \u201cboarder states\u201d. These six states are Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. Louisiana and Alabama are also among the lowest prices for cigarettes.

The average tax rate among states is $1.70 per pack. On average, federal and state excise taxes on cigarettes contribute to 44.3% of the retail price, as of 2016. This does not include the local tax rates that cities and counties can levy in addition to both the state and federal taxes.

The state excise tax rate is $4.35 per package of 20 cigarettes. The New York City local excise tax is $1.50 per package of 20 cigarettes, bringing the combined tax rate for a package of 20 cigarettes purchased in New York City to $5.85.
