What are conventions?

C is nearest.\n\nBut of the literary forms, I associate conventions with plays not novels. e.g. the Fourth Wall convention, that in a naturalistic play\n\n(1) the audience is looking in silently on real people, who are unaware of their presence\n\n(2) we all know that the actors are pretending to be the characters they play, but we pretend to believe that the characters are "real people". This is known as the Suspension of Disbelief.\n\n(3) If we see a scene in a straight play in which one character is about to kill another, we don't shout out "Look out behind you!", that is only done in pantomime (in which characters talk directly to the audience, listen to it, interact with it and there is no fourth wall).

Parties realign politically to meet the changing electorate.  This year the Dems picked locally more conservative candidates in red states.  So their members in Congress will be slightly more conservative than in the previous sessions.  \n\nParty conventions are held every 4 years to officially nominate candidates.  Delegates are selected by primaries and caucuses.  A majority is required to win.  The convention also writes the party platform.

There are several accounting conventions used all over the world for the preparation of financial information so that these are consistent and comparable. Some of these concepts are \nHistorical cost convention\nAccrual concept\nPrudence concept\nMatching concept\n\nTransactions are entered in the books of accounts of an organization when they occur i.e when the parties involved are liable to settle the transaction. Most of the time cash is not paid at the time of transaction. It has to be paid later or is paid in advance. Hence the organization has to record accrual and prepayments.

Laws are enacted by the government of a country and enforced by its courts and public services.  Conventions are agreements between states which the signatories undertake to promulgate by passing the appropriate legislation within their country.  Laws bind individuals, conventions bind countries.

I did a google search for Littleton homeschool (I'm assuming you live in Colorado) and here's what I found.  The last two are specifically classical and Christian, respectively.\n\nIt looks like the state convention is June 15-17 in Denver.  This would be a great place to start, but they can be overwhelming.

Party Bosses- A person who wields de facto power over a particular political region or constituency. (Significance: May dictate voting patterns, control appointments, and wield considerable influence in other political processes.)\n\nDebates- A televised event in which voters can judge the candidates for themselves. (Significance: Can change the way a person votes in an election.)\n\nNominating Conventions- A party’s members meet in a local caucus to pick candidates for local offices and, at the same time, to select delegates to represent them at a county convention. (Example: The first national convention to nominate a presidential candidate was held by a minor party, the Anti-Masons, in Baltimore in 1831.)

At every comics shop nowadays...you can find a magazine named Wizard magazine...\nBuy it and look inside it until you find convention dates.\ndepending on what state you are in you can usually find a convention in your state or in an adjoining state. At the convention you can usually find vendors with dollar boxes (Meaning any comic in the box for a dollar). ..fifty cent boxes and quarter boxes...especially on the last day of the convention and towards the close of the show. You can always ask them up front how many comics you need to buy to get them at  twenty five cents a pop. I know because I am a comic vendor. Peace and good luck.

Are you looking a one particular industry?  (Example:  Construction, Food & Beverage, Medical)\n\nThat would be easier than to try and tackle "conventions" in a general sense.\n\nIn the mean time, Google the larger convention centers in the US and look for their schedule.  (Las Vegas, Orlando, LA, Atlanta) etc.  That will give you a long list of conventions.\n\nIf you can narrow it down to a particular industry, let me know.  I can show you tons of related conventions.  (I have been to many of them!)\n\nI hope this helps...\n\nBobby
