Over the years, people have invented various ways to write Chinese words using letters. These transliteration systems include Yale, Wade-Giles, GR, and pinyin. Pinyin is the official alphabetical system used in mainland China, and it's taught to schoolchildren there (but most people are more comfortable using Chinese characters, and many would be hard-pressed to write even their own names in pinyin).

No, that's not necessary. Your own language is OK. However, writing the letters in English speeds up the procedures because all communications ("comm") will be translated into English by the CoS---to send them "uplines". Money is very important to this "church", so important that "high and mighty" cult members have to decide what must be done if someone want it back. You can be sure that your demands will generate quite a lot of internal comm, paperwork and "entheta". See similar questions...

You should select references who are able to explain why you would be a good addition to a research group. Anyone who could comment on your skills in the laboratory, creativity, problem solving abilities, motivation, ability to handle complex scientific literature and concepts, etc. would be a good choice. Recommendations from individuals with a science research background are likely to carry more weight than recommendations from those with less understanding of biomedical research.

Yes, if you have filed an application in English, you can write to us in Chinese, and we will respond to you in Chinese. But if the application is accepted, the particulars of its publication, the certificate of registration, and any opposition proceedings will be in English because you cannot change the details of your application for registration.

Elvish words or phrases occuring in English text are often enclosed in '_' signs, _like this_. To ensure that all non-English letters are represented correctly, try to use ISO-8859-1 or Western Europe encoding. People who for whatever reason cannot use this encoding write with English letters only, doubling long vowels and skipping diaereses (or using a colon after the letter with the diaeresis).

One of the interesting phenomena of this case is the copious correspondence received by the press, police and even private citizens, from authors claiming to be "Jack the Ripper." The name "Jack the Ripper" itself was derived from the signature on a letter sent to the Central News Agency, in which the author threatened to "clip the ladys ears off" during his next murder.

Smoky, smoky here in NJ. We have a 1000+ acre fire that has shut down 24 mi of the Garden State Pkwy. Very dry and windy. If you know NJ it's between Pinewald and the Double Trouble State Park. I'm glad CDF is stepping up right away to say it was an escape... If it went the way of the Martis and Fallbrook Fires, it might otherwise suggest a pattern of CDF non-accountability. At least BLM took responsibility right away for the Lowden Fire on the Shasta-T. When escapes happen, we all look bad. See similar questions...

When we see appended to the genus or species name some English words (not Latin) with single quotes around them as in Genus species 'English Words' it tells us that the plant is a named hybrid or cultivar (cv.). For these names Latin is not allowable. Sometimes they are formally described by botanists in prestigious journals (e.g. Tavarorbea 'Red Leopard' by Dr. See similar questions...

Sometimes none. Those are the bad days. My best day ever was 5,000, but I had got to a point where I knew exactly what I was doing. The point is to try to write something . If you manage 500 words in a day, that adds up to 182,500 in a year, which is the best part of two whole books. Me, too. I spend roughly twice the amount of time mooching and gossiping on the internet as I spend actually putting words down. But, look: it's all research, one way or another. See similar questions...

There's no rule for me. I've written full blown melodies to which I've added words ("Holding To The Land" and "Honeysuckle Moon" are examples). I've also written complete lyrics to a strict meter and added a melody later ("Fiddle And The Bow"). And of course, I am often happy to write an instrumental or a poem. It doesn't always have to be a song. But usually a song walks forward on two legs. See similar questions...
