It seems all the game engines are geared towards 3d or graphical RPG. I’m looking to make a turn based game where you buy supplies, set the price and sell them, then do it again in the next turn.
I think this kind of simple game does not require any engine. You may try drawing or setting components/pictures on your Form which will be changed after button click.
I’m a younger teenager and I wrote a novel 300 pages long. It has a cliff-hanger ending, and I started writing the sequel, which I’m almost finished with. I plan to have a series sort of like the "Private" series (or Privilege) by Kate Brian, just in a different style. I’ve talked to Joyce Sidman and Victoria Kasten (both published authors) and they’ve given me advice on how to get ready. I’m curious as to how well my book might be if I’m younger. Would that help it, seeing as people might be curious, or would it lower my chances because I’m not as "experienced"? It’s (somewhat) realistic- fiction, and I’ve had a few people read it, they’ve all told me I’m good. Also, what kind of publishing companies would be good for a first-time author?
So, all ego aside, have you bothered with any real research? Have you even attempted to find publishers or have you been too busy getting your head inflated? Sorry to be so blunt but these kinds of questions irritate me. Instead of bothering with actual research you expect others to do it for you.
Start here:
"The Writer’s Market" or http://www.writersmarket.com
Also consider http://www.absolutewrite.com and http://www.writersdigest.com
Each of these sites will help you in learning everything you need to know about how the publishing industry works. From submission guidelines, to query letters, to formatting. Pay attention to all of this and then some.
Assuming your manuscript is edited and polished perfectly (self-editing and your friend who happens to be good at editing doesn’t count) then you can start preparing your query letters. If not, focus on editing and polishing first. An unedited manuscript is an unpublished manuscript.
Do your homework and do it properly.
I want to use the name of an academic theory as the name of my business. Is this allowed as long as I acknowledge the author of the theory?
Difficult to answer without the name of the theory you want to use.
But I strongly advise that you check and ensure that the name you want to use has not already been registered as a trademark with the UK Trademark Registry (see: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm.htm) and/or registered as a Community trademark with the Office of Harmonization for the Internal market (i.e. with the EU). If it has been registered then your use could constitute trade mark infringement if the criteria in s10 of the Trade Mark Act 1994 are satisfied.
If you want to use an academic theory as the name of your business you may want to in turn protect your mark with the Registry. However in order for it to be protected it has to comply with the requirements for registration laid down in the Trade Marks Act 1994, s1, and s5, and there are also important common law requirements the Registry will take into account.
In any event, do investigate before you use if your business is a serious one.

ABSTRACT
Presented by Dino Farinacci.
We will describe the initial problem statement LISP was created for. Since fall of 2006, when the IAB held a routing workshop in Amsterdam, we have found many more use cases for the level of indirection LISP brings. LISP is taking the overloaded semantics of the IP address, where a network device’s identity address and location address are separated so one can keep one of the addresses fixed and while changing the other. This first part of a 3-part series will explain the problem statements, provide an architecture deep-dive of the idea, and illustrate how the LISP protocols are used. This session is necessary prerequisite for LISP Part 2 and LISP Part 3.
Dino Farinacci:
Dino originally joined Cisco in spring of 1991 and was one of the first two Cisco Fellows. He has built routers for 27 years. Dino currently works in the Data Center Business Unit at cisco where his focus is on building a next-generation platform and operating system for Enterprise and Data Center environments. This platform is the Nexus 7000 running NX-OS which shipped in April of 2008.
His expertise specializes in routing protocols where he has intimate knowledge and implementation experience with IS-IS, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, IGMP, PIM, and MSDP, as well as IPv6 and MPLS protocols.
He is an advocate for modular operating systems. Dino also has been a member of the IETF for 19 years making many contributions over this period of time. Dino has worked for cisco since early 1991 but was away for 5 years at Procket Networks where he help build the highest speed and most dense router (still to date) in a half rack chassis which ran a fully modular operating system. He has been back at cisco for 5 years where he is currently working on new multicast routing technology such as Multicast Fast-Reroute, AMT, Multicast Virtualization, and layer-2 multicast for Data-Center Ethernet. Dino invented OTV with his routing colleagues in DCBU and wrote the initial implementation on NX-OS.
Dino is not just a multicast bigot but works on many other protocol and OS initiatives. For example, recently he is prototyping an idea called LISP to separate an IP address into an ID and Locator to allow the Internet to scale better. LISP has been accepted as a working group of the IETF where Dino participates intimately authoring 7 Internet Drafts.

I want to start an audio book business in Latvia. I want to publish world-wide known author’s books not those in my language. Do I have to and how can I track down the authors of the books I want to use and publish so that I can pay them author’s fees? What are fines if I won’t?
You contact each author (or his literary agent) by first contacting the publisher of the most recent book. You negotiate a deal in which you purchase the rights to produce a translations and to produce and sell an audio version of that translation. You will not be granted this right for free.
If you do it without having secured the rights, you are in open copyright violation. If Latvia honors either of the two international copyright conventions, you will be sued, both personally and as an audio book company, and will lose. Damages awarded to the plaintiff are usually far more than the profits you earned through the unauthorized use of their work.
