WBJEE counselling procedure is very much similar to the counselling procedure adopted in JEE MAINS. After obtaining a rank in the exam interested candidates will be required to generate username and password and will have to pay the registration fee. This registration fee will be non-refundable,which is around 500. After registration candidates will be required to fill their choices online through the website. After declaration of round 1 result a candidate will be left with 3 choices. 1- accept the seat and take admission in the allocated seat.2- consider the candidate for up-gradation to higher filled choices.3- surrender the seat and pull out yourself from the counselling procedure.candidates will have to report to the reporting center within the specified period of time and will have to submit their choices failing to do so in round 1 will automatically remove you from further consideration and you will loose your seat. For choices 1 & 2, candidates will have to pay seat acceptance fee which will be returned in further rounds if you opt for choice 3( but will have to report to the reporting center,otherwise the candidate will not be able to claim it).This procedure will be repeated for three rounds and extra rounds can be introduced if the counselling team feels the necessity of it.In last round you will be forced to either accept the allocated seat or surrender your seat.

All responses here are to promote this or that email database providers. Buy buying email list is not the best solution. You should avoid buying a newsletter subscription database from a third-party company, no matter how attractive their offer seems. Sending newsletters to people who didn't give their permission will sooner or later result in your e-mail (or ever server) being banned. What's more, it throws a shadow upon the reputation of your company, and for sure you don't want that to happen.In many countries, the law regulates email business and prohibits sending newsletters to users without their voluntary compliance. Sending newsletters to users who previously unsubscribed from receiving the emails is also prohibited in this case. For instance, here is a CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial emails.

By sharing trite content, you will surely see the number of your readers diminish quickly. Someone might even get angry and shove your email to the Spam folder.Note that nowadays it is harder to protect yourself from information than find the way to receive it. Publish content your clients wouldn't want to miss, and the subscriptions will roll in. Ask your subscribers, what they are interested in and would like to read about in your future emails:Create a subscription page that will offer your website visitors to download useful material in exchange for their contact data;Announce your newsletters on social media on your company pages and offer you followers to subscribe to it following the link (which would redirect them to your subscription page):Set up an online chat on your website, that would require name and email or other contact data;Arrange a competition or a poll;Hold an webinar, seminar, conference, take part in the named events of other influential companies, sponsor top relevant events from your industry.Source: How to Create an Effective Newsletter?In this post you can also find some effective tips on how to get your subscribers to read your email, follow the links and perform the desired action and how you can make sure that your emails won't be ignored or even tossed into the Spam folder.

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. Unfortunately, this is a common concern. We assure you there is never any reason to send money to anyone claiming to be a Soldier online.

SSC CGL 2016 notification is out and you will need to fill an online form to appear for the exam. SSC CGL is a combined examinations for 30 posts. You must know what is the job profile and other aspects of each post. The idea is that you do not miss out on better posts in spite of good scores. As you need to fill the preference orders at the time of form filling. Looking at the seriousness of this issue, we have decided to give you a detailed analysis of the posts as well as preferable preference order.Disclaimer: You should make changes to the order as per your goals and requirements.Posts under SSC CGL 2016 and their job aspects:Parameters to look for while filling the preferences:Here are a few points you need to remember while applying for SSC CGL exam.1. Type of Work2. Amount of work 3. Salary and benefits4. Promotions5. Posting  6. Transfers  7. Desk/Field job  8. DepartmentNow, each one of us different priorities in life. For example, someone might want to have posting in home state or Delhi. Some might want better work or money. So on and so forth. Hence, define your priorities. Know, what is more important to you. And based on that order make changes to the above given preference order.Good luck for your preparation, ask your questions in the comments sections and I will try my best to answer them.

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.

“What benefits do typewriters have over computers?”Do Not Disturb.Apart from the benefits already mentioned — like no electricity required, immediate hard copy, no distractions from online notifications, cheap, easy filling out forms and envelopes — what I enjoy about writing on a typewriter has to do with being a writer.When I was still married, my wife and kids would often disturb me when I was working on my laptop, because they figured that I was just entertaining myself instead of researching and writing. Now, working on my typewriter, it’s obvious that I’m writing and not dicking around.Another thing is that writers tend to be easily distracted by ‘options’ like formatting, but writing rough drafts on paper makes any formatting concerns an issue of the editing stage. When I compose on the typewriter, I don’t care about typos and other mistakes, as the rough draft will not be read by anyone but myself. I don’t go back to correct typos with white-out/Tipp-Ex, as the draft will be retyped on the computer to facilitate sending it to beta readers and prepping it for publication. So writing the drafts on a typewriter allows me to concentrate fully on the creative process and block out my Inner Editor.Edited to add:Someone asked me how I got my Olympia SM4 De Luxe. I bought it on Dutch ‘Marktplaats’ for 25 euro. It came with its hard shell case and original brush. It’s in such mint condition that I only needed to clean the typebars. It’s a marvellous machine, I don’t think I’ll sell this one.I did sell my Olivettis:If you want to buy a vintage typewriter, it pays to buy one from the 50–70s, preferably an Olympia, Olivetti, Remington, Royal, or Hermes. It’s important though to know how to look for flaws and, if you cannot inspect it personally before buying, to ask the owner to type (and photograph): ‘the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ (also in capital letters) to assure yourself that all the keys still work.Also, don’t buy a typewriter through eBay — vintage machines go for highly inflated prices. My Olympia SM4 would go for $250–350, but it should be something between $50–100. If you can get a working machine like mine for below $50, I’d snap it up. Don’t pay too much, though. Vintage machines are suddenly fashionable, but most machines (unless they have weird design features, like the Hammond) aren’t worth more than $50–75, because they’re not collectibles, even if they are collected. Do some research first, so you won’t get stiffed over a ‘rare’ vintage machine.
