How to Sell Socks

Even an inexpensive sock selling business can be profitable, if you choose the right sales location and market your product in an innovative way. You can start your sock business from just about any location, including your home. People sell socks in flea markets, online, in mall carts, street stands, consignment shops and craft stores. However, before selling your socks you should get all your state and city business licensing requirements taken care of. These include registering the business name, getting a state sales permit and applying for an Employers Identification Number from the IRS.

How to Refine Biogas

Biogas is a term for gas fuel produced by the processing of organic waste by bacteria. It contains methane, a gas which burns as easily as natural gas, which is mainly made of propane. The process which creates biogas occurs naturally, for instance in the stomach of cows and people. Natural biogas in its raw form contains a number of contaminants which makes it less efficient as fuel. The raw gas has to be cleaned, or refined, to be used as fuel for motors and vehicles.

How to Keep the Books With a Debit and Credit Sheet

Recording accounting entries with debits and credits is often referred to as double-entry bookkeeping. This is because every entry made for income, expenses, liabilities and owner's capital has two entries: a debit and a corresponding credit. When you start a business, you need to set up a bookkeeping system that allows you to record debits and credits. Each liability and capital account and income and expense item should have a specific number assigned to it, so that when a transaction occurs, it can be properly recorded into the books under that account number.

News reporters, correspondents and broadcast news analysts compete for relatively few job openings. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that as of May 2010, reporters and correspondents held 45,130 jobs nationally, while broadcast news analysts held 5,670 jobs. Low pay, long hours and extensive travel are balanced by the cache of these jobs, which draw keen competition. A minimum of a bachelor's degree in journalism or communications is desirable for these jobs, but smaller newspapers, publications and broadcast news channels may hire interns and apprentices with less education.
