Living The Simpler Life: 8 Essentials to Practice Everyday

I had read the book, before I read Sam's bio and realized how young he was! I enjoy reading how he is living example of the principles taught in the book.

The main concept of the book is of course "simplifying your life" a theme I have been reading and putting into practice in my own life this last year.

I feel like Sam has been reading my mind when it comes to many of the concepts he writes about. The idea that "simplicity" is as unique as a grain of sand on a beach is what draws me to Sam and his book.

Sam write about the "8 Simplicity Essentials"

1. Accurate Self-Knowledge
2. Purging the Unnecessary
3. The Willingness to Say "No"
4. A Focus on Conscious Consumption
5. Cultivating Patience
6. Mindfulness
7. A Desire For Less
8. An Attitude of Gratitude

Accurate Self-Knowledge - "Knowing yourself, or self-knowledge, is the simplicity essential that will guide you through this journey." - To me this is always the place to start unless we have a clear understanding of our personal values, motivations and passions we can not make decisions that will create a more satisfying and complete life for ourselves.

Purging the Unnecessary - "Simplification is the process of expelling everything that isn't central to your values in favor of what is." - This is where you get physical, really do you need all that stuff? All those clothes, all those books, all those knickknacks?

The Willingness to Say "No" - " Every choice represents a trade-off and the more you add to your schedule and responsibilities the more trade-offs between quality and time you will face." - Projects, commitments, responsibilities, why do you feel the need to do everything? Where do you draw that line between quantity and quality? Does everything you are doing align with your personal values, if not why are you doing them? We have choices!

A Focus on Conscious Consumption - " When we weigh our decisions against our values, we begin to live a more fulfilling life." Amen brother! To me simplicity is not at all about making this huge sacrifice, it is about making appropriate decisions. Why are we making this decisions to buy? and then are we buying items that align with our values? too many times we are not even thinking when we buy we are acting on impulse or habit, change can be as simple as thinking about a purchase for 24 hours before making a decision.

Cultivating Patience - "Patience manifests itself through increased focus and a calm, measured approach to life." In this amazing time of modern advances we can easily be caught up in the speed of technology. Learning and practicing patience and a calm mind can be a difficult task, you first need to recognize things can be done differently, then you must train your mind to focus nothing. I believe this is learning that should take a lifetime.

Mindfulness - " Mindfulness, by my definition, is the ability to be fully aware in all you do by ignoring the past and future and focusing on the present. This abstract skill is paramount to living a simpler life at all levels." As a beginning runner I was awe struck this first time that I realized I was "in the flow" of running. It was only a few minutes but the only thing I knew was the sound of my feet hitting the ground and the ease in which it came. This is the experience I look for every time I run now. This can be true of MANY activities find the one that creates your mindfulness!

A Desire For Less - "For me, a life of simplicity is a life of richness. Replacing quantity with quality can be applied to almost every aspect of your life, not just possessions." Use everything we have to the fullest, choosing quality over quantity and realizing that "things and stuff" is not what will make you happy.

An Attitude of Gratitude - "I describe gratitude as having an attitude of thankfulness and appreciation. I think the key component of this definition is the word "attitude." I think that often we in North America forget just how awesome we have it. And we do have the power to change things for others once we feeling in our hearts the "attitude of gratitude" will we see how we can easily help others.

"Simplifying your life can be a scary endeavor. Stripping physical and mental complexity uncovers the true person underneath. You'll be worried that you aren't motivated enough, smart enough, tough enough, or unique enough to possibly live a life of simplicity. When that true person is revealed and there is no longer any crutch on which to rely, excuses no longer exist."

An old soul speaking through a rising star, Sam writes with insight that can speak directly to your heart. I am grateful to share this journey with you!

The Power (The Second Part Of "The Secret") Review And The Importance Of, Actually Reading It

If you liked the best-seller book and movie "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne and feel like you did not learn enough from watching the movie and reading the book, and want to INCREASE the knowledge acquired from these sources, then you are going to love this review on "The Power"

I remember when I was a lost Spaniard kid in California (USA for those who live under a rock and don't know where California is) and I came across (I don't know how) the movie "The Secret". I started to watch it and felt engaged. I finished watching it, and started to put into practice everything they said in "The Secret". I was excited! Heck, I had just found out that I could do, be and have anything I wanted! And incredible things started to happen in my life. Furthermore, I started to SEE that the secret is true (and amazing).

I watched and read "The Secret" several times and tried to master it. I loved it! I started to feel better with myself. I started to feel happier. I started to CREATE my path to where I really WANT to be. Now I'm more spiritual than ever before and accomplish more things than ever before. I see WHY I am here and why the world is this way.

And then fortunately, the continuation comes out! It's called "The Power". I see it, check it out... and get it. "It must be great! She wrote everything she learned from "The Secret"!" I thought.

I started to read it and felt engaged again. I finished it in a couple of days! And I can say that "The Power" is more complete and has more content than "The Secret". The bad thing is that there is not a movie yet.

· Rhonda Byrne starts "The Power" with a small introduction of two and a half pages where she tells you that you weren't born to fight, be unhappy and unsuccessful (which I agree), and tells you WHY you really were born for.

· Then the author Rhonda Byrne explains you what the mysterious POWER that brings you happiness and success into your life is.
· Then she talks about the power and frequencies of feelings and explains you how to use the power to have a fulfill life.

I started to read "The Power" just to find out what the power was! I needed to find out because The Secret improved my life A LOT.

As you can see, I think very positively about "The Secret" and "The Power" by Rhonda Byrne because the simple action of READING them and put what I learned into ACTION, with confidence and perseverance, made me GO for my dreams with strength and confidence... and more important, happiness.

Audio Book Rental Is A New And Interesting Concept

The renting of audio books is a relatively new concept. It first started in the seventies through the use of cassette tapes. It has grown in amazing proportions over the past few decades.

9 Things Everyone Needs: Discounted Digital Cameras To Health And Beauty Products

Even if you aren't a material girl, there are certain things everyone should have. This article will go through the nine indispensable items - items that make you cool, classy, and happy.

Discounted digital cameras: A camera is important. Everyone winds up taking pictures in their life. Why not have a camera that you can trust, that you can always use to capture the moment? A Kodak 10 MP is one of the great discounted digital cameras on the marketplace, but if you want something specific, you can find cameras that have wide-angle lenses, or are more specialized for macro shots.

Good Shampoo and Conditioner: There are lots of health and beauty products out there, but everyone uses shampoo and conditioner. You should find a kind that works best with your hair. Perhaps you have color treated hair or want more volume. In that case, choose the shampoo and conditioner that is right for you.

Cell Phone: If you don't have one of these, it makes it a lot harder to reach you and communicate with your friends. Texting or calling is easy when you have a cell phone, and you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to find a good one.

Love: And you thought everything on this list was going to be material. You need someone or something to love. Whether it's your soul mate or a cat, love is the key to happiness.

Computer: A laptop is a great investment. It allows you functionality and ease. It's light enough to move and take to a cafe or on a trip and you can still work seriously on projects.

Work: If you don't have anything to do, then you don't really need a computer. Your work should get you out of bed in the morning; it should give you purpose. Hard work teaches about all kinds of important lessons and will make you happy when you do a good job.

Shoes: It doesn't matter what kind or style they are, but you gotta have 'em. You won't be allowed in most businesses if you don't. One pair of brown, one pair of black, and a pair of comfortable sneakers should suffice.

Something to look forward to: Even if it's the weekend, looking forward to something can keep you motivated and happy. People plan trips for this reason. Goals also produce good results.

A Belt: Or suspenders. Because you won't command any respect with your pants hanging off your bottom, no matter your sex.

If you satisfy these nine requirements, you will be happy. Take my word for it. And if you have anything else to add, feel free.

Egyptian Cotton Comforters - Why Purchase These Comforters

Egyptian cotton comforters are one of the most comfortable types of comforters that you can purchase to help keep you warm at night. Egyptian grown cotton has become increasingly popular over the past few years, which means that the demand for comforters as well as sheet sets which are made from this delightful material is on the rise.

Bed sheets, pillow cases, comforters, and other bedding products that are made of Egyptian grown cotton seem to provide a higher level of satisfaction for the customers that purchase them because they know that they are definitely getting a high quality product for the money that they are spending.

How Is Egyptian Cotton Better?

One of the biggest factors that makes cotton from Egypt such a high quality material is the fact that the overall diameter of the threads is smaller, which results in higher thread count comforters, sheet sets, and pillow cases.

There are a number of benefits that you get to enjoy when you purchase Egyptian cotton comforters, sheets, and pillow cases that are made with this type of material. First of all, the products made out of Egyptian grown cotton are going to be much softer than other materials. Because the thread diameter is much smaller, the number of threads required to make Egyptian cotton bedding sets or other products is going to be much higher. The higher the thread count, the higher the softness and comfort that the products provide.

Are They Durable?

Another benefit that you will get from purchasing Egyptian grown cotton products is the benefit of having stronger, more durable products that won't wear out as quickly. Using a washing machine to wash comforters, sheets, and pillow cases often times is hard on the material. If you have a lower thread count product, chances are it is made with a lower quality fiber or thread which means it will wear out faster. A good way to tell whether or not you have a quality fabric is to check the lint trap after you have put the bedding through a drying cycle in the dryer. If there is a large amount of lint buildup, then the quality of material used may not be the best. High quality, high thread count products typically will not shed as much lint. This means that the fabric is more stable and durable.

When you purchase bedding products that are made with Egyptian grown cotton, you are in a sense making a better investment decision because you are going to be able to enjoy them longer and get more use out of them. So you'll be getting more for your money in the long run, which is a better investment decision. Not to mention the fact that an Egyptian cotton down comforter is far more comfortable than a basic cotton or polyester comforter.

Shopping Considerations

When you begin shopping for new bedding for your bed, you will find that there are a lot of different types of fabrics available. If you're looking to save money on your purchase, then chances are you will have to go with a lower quality product. However, if you're not as concerned about the cost and want to make sure you get the best quality product, then you might want to consider purchasing Egyptian cotton comforters.

Egyptian Cotton Bedding: Keeping It Luxurious

Egyptian cotton bedding is very luxurious and in high demand because of its quality and ability to endure for a long period of time. It is grown in Egypt because the climate is perfect for growing this type of cotton plant. Though it is high quality, it still needs to be taken care of properly. There are some guidelines you should follow to keep the colors vibrant and the bedding looking brand new.

Luxury Bed Sheets - Maintenance With Ease

Usually, the label on the bedding will tell you how to wash it. Use the recommendations given by the manufacturer for maximum benefit. The label will also tell you how much of the bedding is Egyptian cotton and how much of other material is used.

Egyptian cotton bedding set can be machine washed and the temperature of the water used will depend on the color of the bedding. It can be spot cleaned also to eliminate a stain. Always use the gentle machine wash cycle to prevent damage to the sheets or comforters. If you have a dark color set then use warmer water and for lighter colors use cold water to wash it.

If You Want To Hand Wash

If you are washing your Egyptian cotton bedding by hand then you should fill your bathtub with water that is warm. Use mild laundry detergent to clean the material. Direct tap water should work fine but you'll get a better result if you use filtered water. Many houses have whole house filters installed. Once clean, rinse with water and eliminate all of the remaining water.

You can also spot clean your Egyptian cotton bedding sets by using a spray bottle to clean only the area that needs to be cleaned. Gently scrub the affected area with a soft cloth. A wet washcloth works well for this purpose. Allow the item to dry at room temperature or allow the sun in from the window to let it dry. You can spray the item so it smells better. Fabric refresher is a good idea to serve this purpose.

Egyptian cotton bedding can be dried in the dryer but it should always be on the lowest setting. Never use high heat and do not use softener sheets during the drying process because this will prevent the cotton from being breathable. This type of cotton is well known for its breathability and that last thing you want to do is eliminate this feature. The bedding can also be hung on the laundry line outside to try outside. This method can be used only during the warmer months and is not appropriate for year round use.

Egyptian Cotton Bedding - Ironing Optional

The bedding, if it fits on your bed properly, will not need ironing. Simply pull it into place and smooth it down by hand. If you do want to iron it, use the lowest setting to prevent it from being burned. Iron the bedding using an ironing board just like you would for clothes. Because of the weight, it is best to prop the un-ironed portion on something to prevent it from sliding off the ironing board.

With so many companies all offering insurance it is important that you choose your insurance provider carefully. It is generally a good idea to start by getting a few quotes.

With the start of the technology age obtaining insurance quotes online has become a consumer favorite. You can sit in the privacy of your home and obtain multiple quotes online. Many companies offer say day results and during business owners have agents available to help anyone who is looking for a quote.

Different insurance policies have different options so when obtaining your insurance quotes pay attention to the company's rules or guidelines. For those who get their insurance quotes online, check out the webpage for information about coverage or call the customer service department.

Fundamental Factors Of Insurance

we've all heard about the huge health insurance debate that has raged in this country for many years now. Parties on either side of the aisle have presented their case in hopes to sway the voters over to their point of view. While these are important issues, it is way beyond the scope of this article. In this article, I'll go over the very basics of insurance, it's principles and terminology. That way, when you hear news reports and such, you'll be better informed.

The concept of insurance is as old as the hills. What is likely the most famous company that has been around for hundreds of years is Lloyds of London. Back when the British Empire was sending out ships in search of new trading partners, they would insure them through Lloyds. If the ships came back with new riches, Lloyds would get a cut of the profits. If they disappeared, Lloyds would cover the loss.

Today, insurance is based on the same principle. It is a protection against potential losses due to unforeseen events. The math is based on an idea called the "Law of Large Numbers." This means that when there are thousands of people paying a little bit of money each, if one of them has a terrible accident, the insurance company will be able to pay out enough to cover their costs, while still being able to stay in business.

In order to create a new policy, the insurance company has to evaluate the potential risks involved. If the risks are low enough, and they think they can afford to pay out in case of an accident or event, then they will initiate coverage. If, on the other hand, the risk is deemed to be too great, like car insurance for somebody who has been in twenty accidents, they will not be able to offer coverage.

To stay in business, the insurance company has to make sure that any risk of any event happening is smaller than the total amount of people participating in the plan. If the risks start to get too large, then the company will have to do one of two things.

The first thing is that everybody has to pay much higher insurance rates, so the company can stay in business. If the insurance company goes out of business, then nobody will receive any benefits in case there is an accident. The other thing is that some people who are deemed higher risk will have to either pay much more for their insurance than everybody else, or be denied coverage altogether.

Basically, the less likely something is to happen, the less you will have to pay to insure against it. As the chances increase of something happening, so will your insurance costs.

Employers, Products and Public Liability Insurance

In the UK, as far as business insurance is concerned. You have two options. The first option is to take a policy out in respect of the covers that you are legally required to have. The second one is to add to these covers with others that a sensible and prudent business owner may need.

So, when we are talking liabilities, what is, and what is not, a legal requirement?

We first need to consider exactly what we mean by "liability". Think of it as a bit of a blame game. If someone drives in to your car, then you will blame them for the damage caused. This blame, in legal speak, is that they are liable for the damage, or injury, caused to you or your vehicle. Therefore, if you, in the course of your business cause any injury, illness, disease or damage, you can be held liable.

Of the three main types of liability insurance, only one of them is a legal requirement. As most of us in business know, this is for employers liability. The law of the land has had legislation in place, which is frequently updated, to protect employees since 1968.

So, you need to have it, but only if you have employees. This is where you need to exercise some care and caution. An employee is quite a wide definition. All of the commercial insurance companies in the UK that offer this cover will have, in their wordings, a definition of an employee. The definitions are usually very wide. If you get a friend or family member to help you out one night in the shop, when you are short staffed, they need to be covered under your EL cover. It is irrelevant whether they have a contract of employment, are paid via formal payroll or whether it is just for a few hours. They are effectively working under your direction and if injured, they can make a claim against you.

This is important, the claim from an injured employee is against the business. If a policy is in place to provide cover, this will "step in" to protect you. If you do not have cover, this does not mean that you don't pay. Your business could face financial ruin, just from the legal costs.

The other two types of cover are products and public. Product liability insurance is in respect of any injury, illness or disease caused to persons or damage caused to property, by products you supply, whether or not you are the manufacturers or not. Public liability is if you cause any of the events noted, effectively in the course of your business. ie the plumber who floods a house, the shop that has a wet and slippy floor or the IT contractor that damages a computer belonging to a third party.

These two are not legally required, but you could still face a civil law claim against you. For the overall cost of the cover compared to the potential claims cost, you are always better off taking out a policy.

The Eligibilities for PPI in an Elaborate Way

if we go through the items that are often mis-sold to the consumers with a pseudo label of safety, then obviously PPI would be one of the prominent ones. So what are the eligible conditions actually? If everyone is aware about these eligibility criteria then certainly there would not be this much confusion and complaint about Payment Protection Insurance. And here we are to provide a checklist of questions that you need to ask yourself before enrolling your name for PPI. Of course, nothing can be done in a situation when it is mis-sold but for sure you can educate yourself to some extent to face the after effects of mis-sold Payment Protection Covers. Educating in the sense, you need to have a clear idea about the eligibility factors of PPI which may prevent you from falling into the trap and being aware about the available remedies and steps to be taken in case it is mis-sold.

However, the main motto of PPI was to clear up the debts in the event of any unexpected accidents, short and long term illness and unemployment. There are many instances where borrowers are pushed to buy a payment protection cover because of the pressure given by the insurance officials. If you are also one among them holding a Payment protection insurance and feel like you have been mis-sold then check it out whether you are able to find satisfactory answers for the questions given below:

You are not eligible to enroll for Payment Protection Insurance if you are,

• Unemployed
• Self-employed
• Employed part-time
• A student

There are certain circumstances where you need to be very careful about. One of the common reasons why large numbers of people become the victims of PPI scandals is due to their acceptance towards the compulsion of insurance professionals.

Liability Insurance: Definitions and Terms

Definition of Liability Insurance: The simplest definition of 'liability insurance' is the Insurance coverage to protect against claims alleging that one's negligence or inappropriate action resulted in bodily injury or property damage.

People & organizations can and do mistakes for which they become liable if and when these acts ruled to be the cause for damaging the bodies or the properties of others. This is when insurance policies come to provide the protection. Liability coverage pays when the insured is legally liable for the negligent act. In some situations, the coverage provides protection if the insured becomes 'morally obligated' to a party that is damaged by the non-negligent acts of the insured.

People/ organizations vary widely in their social and business conduct, and so does the coverage that is needed to protect them. For each category of people/ organizations there are different coverages that provide the protections. Different people/ organizations need different types/ amounts of liability coverage.

Classification of Liability

Personal vs Commercial Liability: Personal liability insurance provides coverage for individuals while commercial liability provides coverage for a business entity. A 4-door sedan car needs personal auto liability policy. If the same vehicle is used for delivery, then it may require a commercial auto policy.

Personal Liability Protection normally comes in personal policies such as Personal Auto Policies (PAPs), Homeowners Insurance Policies, boat policies, and Personal Umbrellas. These coverages pay for damages that the Insured causes to the bodily injuries, personal injuries, property damages, legal defense in connection with claims brought against the Insured.

Business/ Commercial Liability Protection: Comes to cover businesses and/or individuals in connection with their business conducts.

Premises Liability applies when someone other than the insured or insured's employees sues the business for damages due to an injury sustained in business premises. This means that the injured party must first suffer an injury on your premises, and then must make a claim for the damages they suffered.

Product Liability includes liability protection for business completed products or services. Similar coverage is provided under the term 'completed operations' such as operations of many contractors in the event that they cause damages to others in the course of their service rendering. Professional service businesses such as physicians, lawyers, real estate brokers, and insurance agents have special professional liability coverages.

Professional Liability. Provides protection for many classes of individuals and businesses for any bodily injury damages their service/ advice may cause to others. Examples include malpractice insurance for doctors and medical staff, errors & omissions for insurance & real estate agents, etc.

Employer's Liability provides coverage for employees during their employment. The employer has to be at fault or negligent for the coverage to kick in. In the case of Workers Compensation, fault and negligence do not have to be proved for employee to collect for any work related injury.

Director's and Officers insurance provides protection against any lawsuits against the officers of the business by its owners. Garage Liability applies in situations where a business deals with vehicles owned by others. The coverage provides protection from the risks of being sued because of using vehicles owned by the business and vehicles that are owned by others (clients.) In the event that a business/ individual works with or takes possession of other people's vehicles, a special coverage called "Garage Keeper Liability" is needed. Garage Keeper Liability provides comprehensive and collision coverage on vehicles NOT owned by the business while the vehicles are in possession of the business. Auto service stations, valet parking businesses, towing services, and car washes are examples of businesses that need garage liability and garage keeper liability protection. Garage keeper liability can be written on Direct Basis or Excess. In the even of Direct Basis, the policy will pay for damages of vehicles of the clients of the Insured regardless of who is at fault. In the case of Excess, the policy will pay for damages of vehicles of the clients of the Insured only if the Insured is negligent.

Liquor Liability provides protection for establishments that sell liquor (Packaged liquor, taverns, manufacturers of liquor) against loss or damages claimed as a result of a patron of the business becoming intoxicated and injuring themselves or others.

There Are Many Different Times Insurance Is Needed

Insurance offers a way to offset the risks in life against compensation in event of tragedy. While insurance will not replace the items or people lost in accidents, there is financial ability for the survivors to continue with their lives and get the things they need to rebuild a piece of what has been taken from them. Just like in life, death is not fair in who it takes and who it leaves behind. Good people do have bad things happen to them, just like bad people have good things happen to them.

More often, insurance is designed to cover certain pieces of property like homes, cars, boats and motorcycles. While some policies are going to be less expensive than others, there is a difference in what each type will cover. Liability covers the person who is going to be operating a vehicle from being sued if their vehicle causes an accident, but does not pay for repairs to their vehicle, only to the other vehicle involved in the accident.

Home owners insurance is only available to those people who own a home. If a person is renting a home, they will need to purchase renters insurance to cover any damages that occur to their possessions or loss through theft. When a fire strikes in an apartment complex, often the surrounding apartments are also damaged. Very seldom do renters have insurance, and when they do, it is not normally enough to cover the loss of all the items in their household.

Choosing the Best Registry Optimizer

When searching for the proper registry optimizers for your PC, an individual are faced with two achievable options: you can obtain a free of charge clean from the internet, or you may spend some coinage for an authorized clean.

Deleting Data: Is Your Information Really Gone

Many people believe that by simply deleting files from a hard disk will forever remove the content that was previously there. While this removes the data on a a visible level, traces still remain of the intact file and can be recovered using special methods. Thus, this puts at risk many people's personal information when they give their computer away exposing them to all sorts of trouble. So, what should you do in order to avoid the loss of personal information and worse yet access to your financial data? There are few things you can do:

1. Format the hard disk using a military grade wipe method that makes it extremely hard to recover the information. Most backyard hackers would have trouble recovering the information stored on hard disk which has been formatted in the following method, however those with access to advanced data recovery equipment or who are forensic personal would be able to recover the information.

2. Use encryption to avoid unwanted access. This process is somewhat safer than the above method in that the only way to gain access to the information is by using a password. Banks themselves use AES-256bit encryption which is simply unable to be penetrated.

3. Physically destroy the hard disk. Yes, that's right, smash the hard disk to pieces. While this isn't the most graceful approach, this is a guaranteed way of ensuring data stored on your hard disk is not readable. Large corporations when information becomes irreverent actually use specific shredding machine on sensitive data, so it is nothing new but safe.

Therefore, using any of the above methods is going to stop potential thieves from using your personal information and will give you peace of mind. Do not ever think that the delete button is the be all end all; it is quite the contrary.

Electronic Failure Analysis - IC Failure Analysis Using High Resolution X-Ray

The trend in Integrated Circuit (IC) manufacturing is towards smaller and smaller components, often resulting in a much higher density and complexity. Just a minor variation in important variables can cause electronic components to malfunction in strange ways.

As all electronics manufacturers know, today's complex electronic components miss-fire frequently and finding out what went wrong isn't easy. Failure analysis using high-resolution x-ray techniques can help electrical engineers discover and understand where the electronic failure lies. In this article we see why x-rays are so useful for electronic failure analysis work.

Proper imaging is a critical component of the failure analysis process since it underpins every other step. In fact, if you submit your samples for analysis, it would greatly help if you were to provide detailed data on how often the failure takes place, and under what load. More data, better analysis.

Suitability of X-Rays

If possible, analysis techniques must not damage the piece which has the fault. This is important for say random sampling purposes and for the analysis of some expensive components. Techniques such as using electron microscopes for example necessitate careful preparation like smoothing out the surface thereby damaging it. Analyzing a sample without damaging it is called Non Destructive Testing (NDT).

X-Ray imaging is ideal for NDT techniques for several reasons. In the first place, X-rays have tiny wavelengths which are much smaller than those possessed by visible light. This allows very high-resolution x-ray images to be taken which becomes more and more important as the size of components decreases. The amount of energy carried by the X-rays which translates into greater or lesser wavelengths as dictated by Planck's hypothesis can be varied depending on the requirements.

Second, the penetrating power of X-rays allows engineers to get an in-depth look at the internal structure of components just like doctors use them to peer inside the human body. 2D micro graphs present images in two dimensions with components overlapping each other. While this can be useful in many circumstances, we're increasingly turning to a 3D x-ray image in order to get a clearer picture of the insides. In fact, 3D imaging will soon become the most important technique used due to the greater complexity of modern ICs.

Sophisticated X-Ray analysis techniques also rely on tools which allow analysis experts to mount the sample and use joystick like controls to rotate it, thus enabling them to gain a much better understanding of its structure. Failure analysis using high-resolution x-ray systems are therefore an indispensable component of the process of figuring out the weaknesses in an electronic system.

Learn How Easy Is To Clean Your Keyboard Successfully!

You should clean every key house, inside and out, that is crucial since this is the place the important thing touches and moves.

Repeat this process once more utilizing rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs but NOT the foam rubber as it disintegrates when used with alcohol.

Lastly repeat this procedure utilizing naptha (lighter fluid) and foam rubber. You may clean even the smallest key guides with small items of foam rubber and tweezers. This motion will take away any petroleum primarily based contaminants in addition to the grease that is generally used on the broader keys which can have information wires, for example, the SCACE BAR.

CLEAN KEYS
Some keys could have wires attached and a few grease on them, clean these first with cotton swabs and naptha (lighter fluid). Remove all traces of the grease.

Place all keys in a kitchen strainer. Spray with household cleaner and let stand for five minutes. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and place keys on paper towels to dry. Let dry completely.

CLEAN RUBBER COMPONENTS

Place all rubber elements in a kitchen strainer. Spray with household cleaner and let stand for five minutes. Use stopper in the sink so that you just don�t lose these in the event that they soar out of the strainer. Rinse these completely with sizzling water and place on paper towels. Fold the towels over and press to squeeze most of the water out of the pieces. Let dry completely.

LUBRICATE KEYS

Place all keys bottom-up on a paper bag. Frivolously coat the keys, at a 45 degree angle with Super Lube Dry Film lubricant. Do this from all 4 sides to guarantee penetration and coverage into the small and significant information spaces inside each key. Let dry ( this occurs practically immediately). DO NOT overdue this step because the provider solvent could affect the plastic.

LUBRICATE KEYBOARD

Mask off the laptop computer with paper and scotch tape. Apply lubricant (as above in LUBRICATE KEYS) to the keyboard and let dry.

All right, you now have perfectly cleaned and lubricated keys, keyboard, and rubber components.

REASSEMBLE

Place all rubber parts into the keyboard.

Install keys with wires. Make certain wire is secured in the important thing, usually snapped into place. Place ends of wire in the guide slots adjacent to the important thing location as you align the key. Firmly press right down to snap the key into place.

Set up the remainder of the keys by aligning and firmly pressing down.

Do You Really Need A Full Ecommerce Solution

Many businesses are desperate to start selling products online, with many making the mistake of paying thousands of pounds for a full shopping cart to be installed on their site or even designed for them. In some circumstances, you do not always need an expensive shopping cart or costly website to start selling your items, in fact, it can often be an expense that many businesses just do not feel they can justify but feel they have to spend the money to move forward.

There are some alternatives to using a full blown online ecommerce shopping cart, which many people tend to overlook in the rush to get their sales increased by developing and implementing something they might not need.

Below, we look at some of the alternatives to having a full ecommerce solution:

eBay - The famous online auction site has been established and developing for many years, with the invention of the eBay shops allowing retailers to start selling their goods via this method if they do not feel an ecommerce solution is really for them. eBay has pretty much opened online selling up to the whole world, as if you want a shop all you have to do is pay a small monthly fee, upload your products and eBay does everything else for you. You immediately have access and exposure to millions of people, something you would probably never achieve if you were trying to do this yourself on your own online shop.

WordPress Shop - The popular blog / cms solution WordPress has a wealth of online shop "plugins" which allow you to simply install and start selling, normally using PayPal as the payment processor. Some of the best shops you do have to pay for, but we have found well over 5 that really do the job very well and allow you to have a small online shop running quickly, easily and efficiently in terms of the length of time it will take you to get things moving.

PayPal / Google Checkout - If you have a PayPal or Google Checkout account, you can start using these payment processors to start selling your goods online, pretty much straight away. A PayPal merchant account should be used if you are a business, but once this is set up you can then create individual buttons and prices for all of your products and then connect them up to your website. Although it will be time consuming if you have quite a few products, the process is really simply as all you need to do is copy and paste some code into your website and you will be ready to sell with in minutes.

The three options we mention above are not the only alternatives to having a full shopping cart for your site, but they are by far the three easiest solutions if you want to start selling products online.

Andrew Wallace Auto Traffic Monopoly Review - Legitimate Software?

Andrew Wallace Auto Traffic Monopoly software claims to have earned $389,783 for him in 60 days and $206,813 "this month alone." He is ostensibly selling the software to help people dissatisfied with ineffective Internet Guru claims and products. There is a limit of 300 copies, the site heading is "Warning: this page will be taken down..." and the regular price of $197 is discounted today only for $37. Is this something worth your time and interest?

The presentation page is very sophisticated and persuasive. Andrew describes having spent over $18,000 on programs and having earned nothing, then in desperation, relying on his wife's part time salary, using his programming skills to uncover an unexploited niche with no competition by analyzing all of the programs he had purchased and exploiting the best features with a new twist.

It is hard not to be persuaded by the video and description page, so there is no question that the copy writing is first rate. The price is quite reasonable and there is a money back guarantee. The dream of raking in huge piles of cash every month with an automated system is alluring, but is it realistic? Is the developer so warm hearted and compassionate that he will divert attention from earning nearly $400,000 to market his software at $37 for 300 copies? The home page claims only 157 copies are left, but this number stays constant from one day to the next suggesting the device is being used primarily as a closing technique.

Andrew Wallace Auto Traffic Monopoly software uses a link wheel with Web 2.0 blogs, such that the links reinforce one another and drive traffic back to your own blog. The idea of creating back links is a necessary process so automating the work could be useful. You begin by crafting seven articles for seven blogs. The software determines where the articles are submitted. If you can get this to work, the appeal is there because most similar software has a monthly subscription fee. The first question is compatibility. We could not find any indication of compatible operating systems. Does the software work with Windows 7, ME, 98, Mac OS X, Mac Intel or PowerPC? Some users have reported being suspended from sites and having their blogs deleted for making excessive submissions. Others have experienced lack of response to technical questions, and difficulty in obtaining refunds. The suggestion has been made that the publishing entity ClickBank is obligated to honor refund requests.

The developer's web site contains the interesting disclaimer that all products are for informational and educational purposes only and that one should use caution and seek advice from your accountant, attorney or other qualified professional before acting. There have also been reports of numerous additional offers at additional cost associated with the program and some reports of broken software download links.

If you can get Andrew Wallace Auto Traffic Monopoly software to work, it is conceivable there is great potential as the basic premise is valid. We recommend you follow the developers own counsel and proceed with caution.

SEO for Chinese Internet Censorship

Freedom is what every person want in this world, but sometimes freedom are being abused by people wants to become free to do anything that they want. When you talk about China SEO, you will be surprise to know that not all website are accessible for people. If you will take a vacation in China or you are going to migrate there, you have to know that there is a Chinese internet censorship going around.

This started in 2003, but since the year 2008 upon the arrival of Olympic Games this censorship was strongly implemented. This s called Golden Shield and it is a surveillance program conducted by the ministry of Public Service of China. The government of China is using a firewall to censure and blocked websites since the year 2003. Many of people around the world especially Westerners are not aware and do not understand this censorship. This article is not against this censorship, this article will help other people to understand this censorship to Chinese online businesses.

If you are going to do business in China and you want your website to gain access Chinese online community you need to a friendly Chinese SEO. This is the reason why you need to locate for reputable Chinese marketing company that understand the rules and regulations within the censorship to make sure that your website will pass the keen eyes of Chinese regulators who regulates and screen all websites that they will allow to enter their Chinese online community.

People around the world have the right to choose which website they want to access and surf, but the Chinese community do not have this kind of privilege, but they are thankful about this. There are websites that expresses negative views and opinions about the country and people in China do not need this kind of information in their mind, the government want their people to concentrate on how they can improve their quality of life. They do not want the minds of their people to be polluted with lots of negative thoughts.

Chinese internet is very different from other country that is why SEO is very much needed to make sure that people will find your website within search engines. Websites that post negative thought about the government and views opposing the Chinese government are banned, but not all of them are being banned. They will face some criminal charges and will suffer from lengthy prison sentences, you need to be extra careful when building a website, especially if you are targeting customer within the Chinese Community.

The Easiest Way to Open Your Own Online Ecommerce Site

People think that it's tough to become an online retailer - but it's not. Although there is a lot of competition out there, a lot of niche sites and a lot of great deals to be had, there are actually simple means to get started.

One way you might not have expected is to start a blog. You can then use that blog as a tool to sell products related to your subject matter. Start blogging about what you love, if you have a hobby, blog about that. Just make sure you choose something you're actually passionate about or you will most likely lose interest after your first couple articles.

Blogs have a much better chance of building and maintaining traffic than a website. There are a lot of reasons for this but I am only going to mention two. First, search engines give way more attention to blog articles and tend to rank them higher then web pages. And second, blogs, when used correctly, have the ability to connect with people, unlike any website. Blogs tell personal stories that people can really relate to, which allows for a very high level of loyalty to be achieved.

I found a great personal art blog, which the artist uses to showcase here paintings. Throughout her postings, she describes her inspiration, what she is currently working on, etc. and people become engaged. They feel like they are a part of the painting process. They can get exited about the art as they watch it develop. For the most part, as people follow Paint Dance they start to feel closer to the artist on a personal level, so this ends up building a desire to support the artist.

This particular artist uses PayPal buttons to sell and only sells specific pieces.

As you can see, this is an obvious model for success. But it is important not to push it too far, making it more about the sales and less about the topic, which is the key motivation behind your audience wanting to visit your blog. There is a fine line here that needs to be recognized.

It seems you can write about almost anything and still build a solid audience. Whatever your interest, whatever your story, you can bet there are people out there that share that passion. Just keep the articles constant and keep it about you. In some way or another, you will connect with people on a personal level.

At the end of the day what you really are is a blogger, but don't let that scare you from making some money at it. After all, we all have passions but it is only those that can sustain their dreams that will end up actually living it.
