Certificate of Discontinuance Form 1998-2026

I was working as a Systems Engineer for a major computer company (3-letter name) and our marketing team had sold a very expensive mainframe computer to an oil refinery. The “MIS Manager” at that plant was someone wholly unqualified for the job, lacking even basic computing skills, and with zero understanding of how computers work in the first place. A few weeks after the installation, I received a call from him, telling me their computer was broken, and that I had to get it fixed immediately. Repeated attempts to get him to tell me what was wrong got me nowhere, so I drove the 60 miles to the refinery to figure out what was wrong.Upon arriving at the plant, I was ushered into the General Manager’s office, where the MIS Manager actually accused us (the 3-letter major computer company) of intentionally sabotaging the performance of the computer so that he (the customer) would have to buy a larger computer to get the work done. I learned that the computer itself was fine, but one of their programs was taking roughly 14 hours to print out a shipping label. This did seem to be totally unacceptable performance, but his claims that the computer was broken were clearly bogus.Maintaining my professionalism, I asked if I could view the program in question – the one that printed the labels. He loudly proclaimed that the program could not possibly be the issue, because they had hired someone away from NASA to do the programming, and had paid him over $100,000 for the program. Therefore, the problem had to be the computer itself. Eventually, the GM ordered the MIS guy to give me a couple of hours access to the software, after which we would re-convene the meeting in the GM’s office to hear my assessment.The application was actually a good bit more involved than just printing labels. It was printing hazardous materials handling instructions (several pages long) for HazMat shipments originating from the plant. This involved various database lookups to obtain the ingredients, their chemical formulae, and finally the handling instructions each for those components. The application itself was written in a very high-level scripting language (REXX, for those of you who know what that is), which I found very surprising, since this type of application would typically be written in a compiled language of some kind, for performance reasons. Then, after looking at the code for only a few minutes, I realized the programmer who wrote it knew very little about programming in general, or about mainframe programming in particular. (I eventually learned that the “NASA contractor” was not actually a computer programmer when he worked there – he was actually a project manager.)After a half-hour reviewing the code, I spent the next 1.5 hours re-writing it, removing obvious performance bottlenecks, and then we tested it. My “quick hack” version took 90 seconds to print a label (vs 14 hours previously). At the follow-up meeting in the GM’s office, I explained what I had done, demonstrated the performance improvement, and stated that I was still extremely dissatisfied with the performance, but it would take more than a 2-hour quick and dirty re-write of the existing code to truly optimize it. The GM was blown away by the results, and was clearly looking at his MIS Manager in a new light.PS - After returning to our office, another gentleman and I re-wrote the application in PL/1 (a compiled language used by the customer’s IT group), and the time to print a label went to under 3 seconds. That’s the version I delivered back to them, with the explanation that a really good programmer could probably achieve even better performance, but this was the best I could do without charging them for the service. The GM was quite happy with the results, whereas the MIS Manager was still claiming that we had rigged the computer to perform poorly so they would have to upgrade to a bigger, more expensive model.By the way, the next time I visited the refinery, the GM introduced me to their new MIS Manager…

I think I have a somewhat unique perspective on this. I am originally from London and lived in the UK for 42 years. I have lived in the US for over 10 years and I am a Health Insurance Agent. The US has some wonderful hospitals and doctors. Without any doubt if you are wealthy or have good insurance you can receive some of the best healthcare anywhere in the world. However.You could lose your health insurance for just being sick. Yep that’s right. You are working and get seriously ill. You do not get statutory sick pay. So your employer may just replace you and drop you from your health insurance. There is a provision called COBRA that allows you to keep the insurance as long as you pay both your portion as well as the employers portion, oh and a couple of % for admin. What Bollocks! You're ill, you're fired and to add insult to injury you are charged more. This sounds like a fairy story. A one in a million chance. Nope, it happens all the time.In the 42 years I was in the UK. I broke a pelvis, broken arm. 4-inch cut wrist. Cutting tendons and artery in arm. Operation on throat. All that was before I was 12. Add to that doctors visits a serious traffic accident, helicopter evac with blood transfusion. I would say that I have come in contact with the NHS.I have seen both countries’ systems close up. I would gladly choose another profession and have the NHS in the US. Shocking, right? Well not really, you see the 42 years I spent in the UK made me understand that if we are all covered by health insurance it makes it cheaper and far better for everyone including me.The main reasons Americans cannot seem to wrap their head around it are: ignorance, political bias and stupidity. Also the total belief that if it is not done in USA it can’t be any good. You do not realize how good the NHS is until you no longer have it. Rule Britannia!

While you might not have been “active” throughout the year, by filing a “no activity” return you may be throwing away potential deductions!  Most businesses (even unprofitable ones) will have some form of expenses – think tax prep fees, taxes, filing fees, home office, phone, etc.  Don’t miss out on your chance to preserve these valuable deductions.  You can carry these forward to more profitable years by using the Net Operating Loss Carry-forward rules.  But you must report them to take advantage of this break. If you honestly did not have any expenses or income during the tax year, simply file form 1120 by the due date (no later than 2 and one half months after the close of the business tax year – March 15 for calendar year businesses).  Complete sections A-E on the front page of the return and make sure you sign the bottom – that’s it!

From a legal business entity standpoint, one does not normally have to file any forms with the state the business is located in to be considered a sole proprietor (SP). However, this highly unadvisable since a SP provides no liability protection.The most popular, and most advisable business entities are a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a Corporation. These entities are state created entities meaning that you must file the necessary paperwork in the state where you will have the business headquarters. The state’s secretary of state’s office will have all the necessary documents, forms, and rules needed to create the entity of your choice. You will also have to pay a filing fee.It is important that you further discuss the issue with experienced counsel as they will be able to help you decide which entity is best for you, and help you with the filing.

It depends on where you're based: not only do different countries have different paperwork, but so do different states, counties and even cities. There are some places where you can start a new business without filling out any paperwork (although you'll likely have to deal with tax forms and the like after you've been in business for a while.There are some common forms that you should check on whether you need for your area:Business licenseProfessional license — In addition to a license for operating a business, certain professions are licensed.DBA / Doing business as — If you're doing business under a name other than your own, such as a company name, you may need to file a DBA.Incorporation or organizational documents — Depending on how you organize your business, you may need to file paperwork to incorporate.Tax registration — You will usually need to register with your local state if you're collecting sales tax. You will also probably need to complete paperwork to get a taxpayer identification number or an equivalent for your business.Employee forms — If you have employees, there can be quite a bit of paperwork, including their tax paperwork and any appropriate registration.These really are just a starting point. One of the best things you can do is find a local accountant or other professional to advise you on what you need.

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.

Just register on the admission portal and during registration you will get an option for the entrance based course. Just register there. There is no separate form for DU CIC.
