I am doing a career-based project for my school. I am shadowing one of my mom’s friends for 20 hours. My core question is how can a student become a successful carpenter, but on the job with the CARPENTER I noticed he called himself a floor contractor. He took rug and running off of stairs and refinished them. He also refinishes floors. What is he considered and is floor contracting a method of carpentry?

I am going to be rooming with someone in a hotel in China. I don’t know how many outlets/plug-ins I will be able to find, and what types of plugs I will be able to use.

I know that there are three different outlet types used in China. European 2-pin
US/Japan 2-prong
Australia 2-prong along with a 3rd pin option
Hong Kong has another one entirely

I am also aware that 220V is the standard, and not 110V. I know that some hotels have the all the plug options all in one space, without the Hong Kong one. However, does that mean that I could plug in more than one thing by using those? For example: one Euro 2-pin and one Australia 2-prong? Alternatively, could I use a US 2-prong on the top, and then use an adapter to take advantage of the Australian portion?

Also, I want to have a power strip (A.K.A. Surge Protector) that will accept US 2-prong or US 3-prong, while keeping things safe. My laptop adapter and cell phone charger are both rated for 110V – 240V.

When I have visited RadioShack, they all said to buy the European 2-pin adapter. I have been told this is wrong by a foreign electronics store, and by simple observation of various adapters. Additionally, they said that I would need a heavy power converter in order to handle the draw needed for multiple things being plugged in. I initially wondered if I could get a US 3-prong adapter and then take a US surge protector. I guess it isn’t possible.

What would work?

I know it sounds kinda dumb but I need some advice on how to become an electrician apprentice or trainee. Currently I have taken DC and AC electronics and right now taking two others. I live in the state of California where on the job training is necessary as well as classroom instruction.

I have noticed that the older school buildings are mostly brick with small windows and have some parts of the building with no windows at all. Now, they are being built with floor to ceiling glass walls, glass ceilings, and use much less brick and concrete than before. Is it cheaper to do this glass construction?

My clothes dryer has a 3 pronged cord, what do I need to do to get my dryer to work with this type of outlet?

I am 23 years old. I have an associates degree in electrical engineering technology. I have worked as an electronics tech for 3 years and I would like to go back to school in hopes of becoming an electrical engineer.

I am not sure if I can afford to go to a 4 year university and was considering taking community college courses instead. Will this be a waste of my money? What courses should I take?

so i am doing a scientifical essay about fossil fuels and i MUST get an AWESOME grade or i am grounded for another month!!!!!! here it is:

we have all heard of energy. kinetic, potential, electrical, nuclear, ect. I bet you didn’t know about one type, though. That is fossil fuel. Well, it is more of an energy resource.

(END)

HOW WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?! i seriously need to know because this counts for 15 percent of my final writing grade and 15 prcent of my final science grade!! PLEASE REPLY SOON!!!!!!!

so how should my intruductrionary paragraph sound?
