« on: April 20, 2017, 12:49:52 PM »
10 Major Engineering Challenges of the Next Decade
Upgrading the sagging U.S. Infrastructure - Engineering Challenges of the Next Decade | Elsevier
1. Upgrading the sagging U.S. infrastructure. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives our aging infrastructure a D+ grade and estimates that $3.6 trillion dollars must be invested by 2020 to bring our roads, bridges, water, electrical and sewage systems to proper safe working order.
2. Educating first world engineers to understand how to solve third world problems. The Renewable Resources Journal reports that the world’s population will grow by 2 billion over the next two decades, 95% of this in developing or underdeveloped countries. Engineers must learn new ways to solve problems in these countries.

EEE / Scammers Are Uploading Tutorials on How to Fool Facebook with a False ID
« on: April 20, 2017, 12:47:26 PM »
Making a fake passport or ID to hack into someone else's Facebook account takes only a few minutes, thanks to online tutorials that are a simple Google search away.
Last week, someone took control of the Facebook account of Aaron Thompson, a 23-year-old from Pontiac, Michigan, by tricking Facebook's support to disable all security on his account after showing them a fake, photoshopped, passport.
The hack exposed a major flaw in the way Facebook, and other online providers, verify that we are who we really claim we are.
As it turns out, there are several free online tutorials, and even apps, to learn how to make fake IDs on your computer. A Google search for "bypass facebook government ID" turns out thousands of hits, including YouTube tutorials specifically made with the goal of circumventing Facebook's government ID requirements.
There are also several text guides that detail all the steps necessary to forge an ID.
"Today I will show you how you can make own fake government id proof to bypass facebook verification," reads one.
If Photoshop and image editing isn't your forte, you can automate most of these steps thanks to apps like Fake ID Generator, which has been downloaded more than 17,000 times, according to Google Play. While the app isn't marketed specifically to avoid Facebook's verification, it could clearly be used for that, though the app reminds potential users that "these IDs are for entertainment only." And it's worth keeping in mind that using fake passports or IDs is a crime in most countries.
It's unclear how many people use forged documents on Facebook, but it's likely that the incident last week is not the first time that happens. But a source who claims to have been using photoshopped fake IDs on Facebook for years, told Motherboard that Facebook's controls aren't very effective.
"They never catch you," the cybercriminal, who declined to be identified, said.
"They never catch you."
All these sites and tools, however, don't seem to worry Facebook. In response to last week's hack, the company admitted its mistake in handing over Thompson's account, saying that "accepting this [fake] ID was a mistake that violated our own internal policies and this case is not the norm."
It's unclear what policies Facebook uses, but in response to a questions related to these sites and tools that teach people how to circumvent Facebook's ID verification process, a spokesperson told me this week that government IDs "are just one aspect of verification," and that the company also uses "other signals" such as IP address, account history, and others.

EEE / Top 10 Ways to Fail your F1 Visa Interview
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:24:35 AM »
All international students know the stressful feeling of applying for and interviewing for an F1 student visa. Many students prepare for months, only to be denied their visa. The truth of the matter is that on paper, you might meet every qualification, but if you don’t have the right answers for your interviewer and be able to say them with substance and sincerity, you will not succeed. Here is a list of 10 things not to do during your interview:
1. Don’t show up
You are required to schedule and attend your interview before you can be granted an F1 visa.
2. Don’t bring all of the documents and receipts that are required
You must bring the following documents with you to your interview:
a valid passport
a Nonimmigrant Visa Application, Form DS-160
an application fee payment receipt
a passport photo
a Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status (Form 1-20)
3. Be vague about your study plans and goals
Your interviewer will ask questions regarding your study plans. Does your major have to do with your previous studies or work from your home country? Make sure you can explain your goals to the consular officer.
4. Choose a university at random
To be granted an F1 visa, your choice of university must be carefully calculated. You must consider the caliber of the program you will enter as well as your living arrangements, and be able to prove your preparedness.
5. Underplay your academic capability
Can you be successful in a US university? Additional documents may be requested to prove your eligibility for the F-1 student visa, including academic transcripts, diplomas, degrees, or certificates. Test scores such as the TOEFL, SAT, GRE, or GMAT may also be requested.
6. Don’t have a solid plan to finance your studies.
The most important factor determining your eligibility for the F1 visa is your ability to finance your entire program of study, including tuition and fees, room and board, transportation, travel, health insurance, and all other relevant expenses.
7. Have no plans to return to your home country after graduation
The F1 visa is granted to students who have strong ties to their home country that will lead to their return to their home country after their studies are complete. This could include family, property, or even a job offer.
8. Lie during the interview
If, for any reason, your interviewer believes that you are being dishonest, you can be denied your F1 student visa.
9. Do not consider cultural differences
You must demonstrate cultural sensitivity and the ability to adapt and live in a different culture than your own. You must be open to new experiences.
10. Be nervous
If you are well-prepared for your interview, there is no need to be nervous during your interview. Make sure you have all of the required materials so that you can answer all of your interview questions with confidence.
Now that you know what not to do, it is time to start preparing for what you should do! Be sure to check out all of our F1 Student Visa articles too for more guidance regarding your F1 student visa.

EEE / 5 points for F1 Visa Rejection
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:20:55 AM »
1. No intention of returning to your home country ...... Consulate interviewers know that almost all the applicants want to go to the US forever but they only allow those who make the best effort to hide this fact.
2. Financial inadequacy ....... unless you have a scholarship, don't even bother applying if you are poor!
3. Lousy conduct and meek body language ...... this works against if you apply to any reputable organization. The very fact that it is tolerated in most Indian organizations tells you a lot about the quality of these Indian organizations!
4. Incorrect information ........ you can only do this and get away with it if you are from Andhra.
5. Unimpressive academic credentials and lack of knowledge ...... don't bother applying if you graduated from any of the many "unknown" colleges or universities that have sprung up across India thanks to Cong Party’s “RTE” campaign. Your GRE and TOEFL scores should be very high if you belong to such colleges or universities. Unlike India, USA doesn't pamper backward caste people and their incompetence!
Anyway, you don’t need to heed any of this advice because where there is a will, there is a way!

EEE / F1 Visa Qualification
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:16:25 AM »
Specific instructions for how to apply for your F1 visa will be listed on the website of the US embassy or consulate that you plan on visiting, but regardless of where your visa appointment may take place you will need to provide the same kind of documents and address the same kinds of questions.
In order to qualify and as part of the F1 visa interview process, potential international students will need to prove the following:
Official Residency in a Foreign Country and Intentions to Return Home
Upon graduation it’s imperative that the international student plans on returning back to their home country. If an interviewer can tell that your intentions are to become a permanent resident of the United States, your visa will more than likely be denied. The intention a student visas is to further educate yourself and then bring your newfound knowledge back to your country of citizenship, not to remain in the US.
Admission to an Approved School
During your interview it is also imperative that you can prove acceptance by a US institution or language school previously approved by the SEVP.
Sufficient Financial Support
F1 visa holders must be equipped to cover their living and study expenses while in the US, as legal employment opportunities will be limited.
Ties to Your Home Country
Another important part of an F1 visa interview is proving strong ties to your home country, including family, job offers, bank accounts or other assets.

EEE / How Do You get F1 Visa ?
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:12:28 AM »
The F1 visa process is relatively simple but can be time consuming, so it’s important to start this process as soon as possible to ensure that any delays won’t affect your education. Perhaps one of the lengthiest steps towards becoming an international student can be applying to a US school that has been approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). It’s also important to keep in mind that while there are many great institutions across the country, not all are equipped to handle international students and the administration that is required, so it’s important to verify that the school you would like to attend is approved well before filling out any applications, writing any essays or providing references.
After receiving acceptance by the school of your choice, you will be officially enrolled into the SEVP and are required to pay a one-time application fee. After all fees are paid and your account is in good standing, what is called an “I-20” form will be provided by your institution or educational program. This form will allow you to schedule an interview appointment with a local US embassy or consulate to be granted an F1 visa and officially become an international student!
