<span style="float: right;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b></b>The
Microsoft Student Partner Program recognizes top young minds from
around the world that are passionate about technology. It's a once in a
lifetime opportunity to develop real-world skills to help you succeed in
your future career, to help others learn about the technology of today
and tomorrow, and to connect with other like-minded students, all whilst
having a ton of fun along the way. The tenure is for 1 academic year
and can be renewed by the MSP India Team if the MSP has acceptable
performance and continues to meet the eligibility criteria.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What is a Microsoft Student Partner?</b>The
‘ideal candidate’ would be a passionate and enthusiast individual who
wants to learn about new tools and technologies. You would need to have a
whole range of skills including excellent time management, organization
and communication skills to ensure that you could host successful
campus events. An MSP should be comfortable and confident presenting in
front of large audiences of both students and faculty members. General
marketing skills come in very handy in order to allow you to articulate
your ideas effectively when presenting. MSPs are social, friendly and
approachable individuals who like to meet new people. You will require
the ability work as a team as well as use your own initiative. In
summary, MSPs are innovative and creative students who are extremely
passionate about technology and who like to help others.<br /> </span>

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Part 1: </b>You
will need to create a video of yourself speaking about a Microsoft
technology and upload it to YouTube. This is to judge your
public-speaking skills and confidence. MSPs conduct a lot of technical
sessions and other activities in which they interact with their peers
and colleagues. Thus, an MSP has to be fluent in English and be able to
put his/her point across. In this round, emphasis will be on Clarity of
communication and Quality of content.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><u>Specifications:</u><br />* The duration of the video has to be between 3 to 4 minutes (minimum 3 minutes and maximum 4 minutes)<br />*
You have to be clearly visible in the video- we want to see and hear
you speaking. No PowerPoint presentations, screencasts, webcasts etc.
will be allowed.<br />* All content has to be genuine. It should not contain any copyrighted material without express consent of the owner.<br />* Make sure the video is of your own creation.<br />*
The video has to be interesting and engaging. Through the video you
have to show us why you should be selected for the MSP Program. There
will be hundreds of videos submitted, so be original in the video.<br /><span style="color: red;">* The deadline for submitting the URL of your video has elapsed.</span></span></li>

<ul style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><u>Topics for the video:</u><br />You have to choose from any one of the following topics ONLY:<br />* Cloud Computing (Azure or Office 365)<br />* Web (ASP.NET or WebMatrix or WebPI or Silverlight)<br />* Mobile (Application development for Windows Phone 7)<br />* Client (Application development for Windows 7, WPF)<br />* Windows Embedded<br />* Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio<br />* Application development using XNA Game Studio<br />* Expression Studio<br />* Windows Server 2008 R2<br />* SQL Server 2008 R2</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><u>Tips to make the video interesting:</u>* You have to be clearly visible. We want to see and hear you speak.<br />* Make sure you are audible. Audio quality is more important than video quality.<br />* Be creative. Think of ways to make your video presentation memorable for the audience.<br />* Don’t read from a paper or a computer screen. Make your presentation dynamic, so that people can enjoy watching it.<br />*
Don’t just copy an existing video from YouTube, Channel 9 or a
Microsoft video. We want to gain an insight into your understanding and
interest in the technology you choose to speak on.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Part 2: </b>Get your Windows Phone 7 App certified on AppHub. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: small;">* Create your app using the free development tool and emulator available at <a href="http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads">http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">* If you do not have access to a machine that supports these dev tools, you can use a third-party web-based utility like <a href="http://bit.ly/wp7appmakr">http://bit.ly/wp7appmakr</a> to create an app (e.g. for your personal blog or for an RSS feed relevant to your college or your city).

<li><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">* Ensure that the <b>Support/Contact Email Address</b>
that you provide on AppHub is the same as the one that you provided
during registration for the MSP selection process. This is very
important- so do this properly.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">* Work towards getting your apps certified by <b><span style="color: blue;">18th October 2011</span></b>. Submit your apps on AppHub early so that you get at least a week before the deadline to go through the certification process.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">* The goal of this exercise is to assess your
understanding of the AppHub certification process. So there is no need
to complicate your app development. There will be <u>other</u> opportunities later this year for students to showcase complex and innovative apps.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div>
<div class="yiv1416136364MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">
<span class="yiv1416136364ms__id1397" id="yiv1416136364yui_3_2_0_16_131874854098066" style="color: #353535;">
The first tip for asset allocation management is to diversify your investment. Putting all your eggs inside one basket is too mu<span class="yiv1416136364ms__id1397" id="yiv1416136364yui_3_2_0_16_131874854098066" style="color: #353535;"><var id="yiv1416136364yui-ie-cursor"></var></span></span><span class="yiv1416136364ms__id1397" id="yiv1416136364yui_3_2_0_16_131874854098066" style="color: #353535;">ch a risk. <span> </span>So do not invest all your money in one company, expecting to generate cores of rupees in revenue. <span> </span>Strategic asset allocation requires diversification. <br /><br />If
you want to invest in it, assign a determined percentage. Since it is a
risky investment, you should balance it with other, less risky assets.
For example, Government Bonds, NSC, PPF etc. They may have a low return
over investment (ROI), but you can be pretty sure that they will pay you
what they promised. </span>
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">
<div class="yiv1416136364MsoNormal">
<span class="yiv1416136364ms__id1399" style="color: #353535;">
<br />The second tip is to find a group of asset
allocation tools that can help you in your decisions. For example, one
of those tools is the internet. The World Wide Web is an excellent
source of information. You can find the investments opportunities
available at all over the world. Plus, you will be able to recollect the
latest news in the geopolitical situation at different parts of the
world.

The world is an ever changing place, so it is in your
best interest to maintain yourself informed. Another practical tool is
an asset allocation calculator. The difference between a typical

way you should make your investments. And, it can make a projection on

there is paid and free asset allocation software. In the case of the
first one, they can be pretty complex pieces of software. They may use
different mode of calculations and predications. Before considering
buying one of these packages, make a thorough research and determine if
you really
need them. In the case of free software, forget about it. There is no
way in which someone will invest so much time in decent asset allocation
software and then distribute it for free. Those kinds of things may
happen with computer games, but not with investment software. <span> </span>I
never recommend to buy software for planning your asset allocation, the
main defects of this software is, again you need to be an expert in
operating this software.<span> </span>In case you failed to operate this software as per the direction, definitely the end result will be wrong and misleading.<span> </span>Finally you will end up with a wrong asset allocation<span> </span>which will defect<span> </span>the entire objectives of financial planning and proper asset allocation.<br /></span>

Optimizing strategic asset allocation should be the
priority of every person who wants to have an untroubled future for him
and his family. Although determining which are the correct asset
allocation models isn't easy. In case you aren't able to determine the
best strategic asset allocation, you can always look for a financial
adviser.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What Is a Urinary
Tract Infection?</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>About half of women
will get a urinary tract infection or UTI at some point in life. It happens when
germs infect the system that carries urine out of your body -- the kidneys,
bladder, and the tubes that connect them. Bladder infections are common and
usually not serious if treated promptly. But if the infection spreads to the
kidneys, it can cause more serious illness.</i></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>UTI Symptoms: </b></span></div>
<ul>
<li>Bladder
Infection</li>
<li>Kidney
Infection</li>
<li>An untreated bladder
infection can spread to the kidneys.</li>
<li>Pain on either side of
the lower back</li>
<li>Fever and chills</li>
<li>Nausea and vomiting</li>
<li>Pain or burning during
urination</li>
<li>The urge to urinate
often</li>
<li>Pain in the lower
abdomen</li>
<li>Urine that is cloudy
or foul-smelling</li>
<li>Some people may have
no symptoms</li>
</ul>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When to See Your
Doctor</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
See your doctor right
away if you have signs of a urinary tract infection. A bladder infection is
generally not a medical emergency – but some people have a higher risk for
complications. This includes pregnant women, the elderly, and men, as well as
people with diabetes, kidney problems, or a weakened immune system.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>UTI</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(Urinary
Tract Infection</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>) or Something Else?</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Although burning
during urination is a telltale sign of a UTI, it can also be a symptom of
certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs.) These include chlamydia,
gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. Simple lab tests are available to distinguish a
UTI from an STD.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Honeymoon Cystitis</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Few things can ruin a
honeymoon like a UTI. But this is so common, it has its own name – "honeymoon
cystitis." The reason is that sexual activity can push bacteria into the
urethra. Of course, the problem is not confined to honeymoons. Some women get a
bladder infection almost every time they have sex. Women who use a diaphragm for
birth control are especially vulnerable.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stealth UTI</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(Urinary
Tract Infection</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>)</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Occasionally, UTIs
occur without the classic symptoms. A person may have no symptoms at all. Yet, a
urine test shows the presence of bacteria. This is known as asymptomatic
bacteriuria. In many cases, no treatment is needed. But pregnant women, some
children, and recipients of kidney transplants should be treated to avoid a
kidney infection.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>UTI</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(Urinary
Tract Infection</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>)</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Complications</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The main danger
associated with untreated UTIs is that the infection may spread from the bladder
to one or both kidneys. When bacteria attack the kidneys, they can cause damage
that will permanently reduce kidney function. In people who already have kidney
problems, this can raise the risk of kidney failure. There's also a small chance
that the infection may enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How Do UTIs Begin?</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many types of bacteria
live in the intestines and the genital area, but this is not true of the urinary
system. In fact, urine is sterile. So when errant bacteria, such as the E. coli
shown here, is accidentally introduced into the urinary system, it can start a
UTI. Typically, bacteria travel up the urethra to the bladder, where an
infection can take hold. Women are more susceptible than men, probably because
they have shorter urethras.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What Boosts Your Risk?</span></b></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
UTIs are most common
in sexually active women. Other factors that may increase your risk include:</div>
<ul>
<li>Not drinking enough
fluids</li>
<li>Taking frequent baths</li>
<li>Holding your urine</li>
<li>Kidney stones</li>
</ul>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Urinary Tract
Infections in Men</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Men are much less
likely than women to get UTIs. When it does happen, it's often related to
another underlying medical condition, such as a kidney stone or an enlarged
prostate.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Diagnosing UTIs</span></b></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first step in
diagnosing a UTI is usually a simple urine test called a urinalysis. It looks
for bacteria, as well as abnormal counts of white and red blood cells. The
dipstick test provides quick results. Your doctor may also send your urine to a
lab for culture to confirm the type of bacteria. At-home test kits can help
detect a UTI, but are not 100% accurate. Be sure to go over the results and your
symptoms with your doctor.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Treating UTIs</span></b></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Prescription
antibiotics will almost always cure a UTI. Your health care provider may
recommend drinking lots of fluids and emptying your bladder frequently to help
flush out the bacteria. Kidney infections can often be treated with oral
antibiotics, too. But severe kidney infections may require hospital care,
including a course of intravenous antibiotics.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Treating Recurrent
UTIs</span></b></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some women are prone
to getting UTIs over and over again. If you have three or more a year, talk to
your doctor about how to prevent or minimize these infections. Your options may
include:</div>
<ul>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
People with diabetes
are more vulnerable to UTIs for several reasons. First, their immune systems
tend to be weaker. Second, high blood sugar can spill into the urine and
encourage the growth of bacteria. Also, nerve damage related to diabetes can
prevent the bladder from fully emptying. People with diabetes should talk with
their doctor at the first sign of a UTI.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During pregnancy,
there are several factors that boost the risk of UTIs, especially a kidney
infection. Hormones cause changes in the urinary tract, and the uterus may put
pressure on the ureters or bladder or both -- making it more difficult for urine
to pass from the kidneys to the bladder and out. Untreated UTIs can contribute
to preterm labor, so be sure to alert your doctor if you suspect you have an
infection.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Estrogen has a
protective effect in the urinary tract, but levels of this hormone drop off
significantly during menopause. Low estrogen levels can make it easier for
bacteria to thrive in the vagina or urethra. For this reason, women may be more
susceptible to UTIs after menopause.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A hospital stay can
put you at risk for a UTI, particularly if you need to use a catheter. This is a
thin tube that's inserted through the urethra to carry urine out of the body.
Bacteria can enter through the catheter and reach the bladder. This is more
often a problem for older adults who require prolonged hospital stays or who
live in long-term care facilities.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
UTIs are among the
most common infections in the elderly. But the symptoms may not follow the
classic pattern. Agitation, delirium, or other behavioral changes may be the
only sign of a UTI in elderly men and women. This age group is also more likely
to develop serious complications as a result of UTIs.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Babies occasionally
develop UTIs, but they can't tell you what they feel. Here are some signs to
watch for:</div>
<ul>
<li>An unexplained fever</li>
<li>Strange-smelling urine</li>
<li>Poor appetite or
vomiting</li>
<li>Fussy behavior</li>
</ul>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It's vital to treat a
baby's UTI quickly to prevent kidney damage. Promptly changing a dirty diaper
can help prevent bladder infections. And of course, wipe from front to back
whenever changing a baby's diaper.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
About 1% of boys and
3% of girls develop UTIs by age 11. This includes some children who repeatedly
delay a bathroom trip. Their muscles may not relax enough later to fully empty
the bladder and flush away any bacteria. More regular bathroom trips and
drinking plenty of liquids may help. A small number of children have a
structural problem that obstructs urine flow or lets urine flow back from the
bladder to the kidneys, triggering chronic kidney infections. This can lead to
kidney damage.</div>

Accidents are par for

Maybe Mom told you
that cranberry juice cures a UTI. She's close. Some studies suggest it can
prevent, but not treat an infection, and is more effective in young and
middle-aged women. Cranberries contain a substance that prevents E. coli
bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder. If you don't like the taste
of cranberry juice, capsules or tablets may work, too. People with a history of
kidney stones should check with a doctor, first. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-69863099992587788082011-06-16T13:45:00.000+05:302011-06-16T13:45:48.440+05:30History of " # " symbol key<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
1966, 1500 series phone model from Bell Labs. One of the earliest with the now ubiquitous "*" and "#" symbols</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I found out the symbol on the “pound” or “number” key (#) is also called an “octothorpe”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The origins of this term date back to the 1960s and 1970s in Bell Labs
with the first documented place this word showed up being in a U.S.
patent filed by Bell Labs in 1973. The exact etymology of this word
isn’t known as the two “eye witness” accounts are contradictory.
However, what is known is that it was a term engineers at Bell Labs
started using as early as the 1960s when Bell Labs was working on
interfacing techniques between computers and telephones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was during
this time that Bell Labs came up with the now ubiquitous “touch tone
dialing”, which added two additional keys to handsets, the “*” key and
the “#” key. It is clear the “octo” part was thought up because of the
eight points on the symbol. The origins of the “thorpe” (sometimes
written “thorp”) are not so clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ralph Carlsen of Bell Labs wrote a memorandum on this symbol upon his
retirement in 1995 where he states that Don Macpherson came up with the
name when he went out to instruct their first client of the new
telephone system, the Mayo Clinic. He thought Bell Labs needed an
unambiguous name for the # symbol, which had many names, so came up with
“octothorpe”. The latter “thorpe” was in reference to the incredible
Native American athlete “Jim Thorpe”, who at the time was trying to get
his 1912 Olympic medals returned after having them stripped away due to
the fact that he once had accepted money for playing a sport (baseball),
previous to those Olympics. Macpherson at this time was part of the
group that was trying to get Thorpe’s 1912 Olympic medals returned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Douglas
a Kerr of Bell Labs stated in 2006 that the term was invented by C
Schaak and Herbert T Uthlaut and it was originally “octatherp”, which
was more or less a joke term between the two. This seems less plausible
than the previous story. Why would they say “octa” instead of “octo”
and why would it have been changed relatively quickly after its creation
to “octothorpe” in the first patent that references the term?
Nevertheless, Kerr was there, so perhaps it’s true or perhaps not as
Ralph Carlson was there too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given that the word circulated around Bell Labs for about 10 years
before appearing in text, it’s also possible it was invented by Don
Macpherson, as Ralph Carlson said, and that C Schaak and Herbert T
Uthlaut mocked the term calling it “octatherp” as a joke, as Douglass
Kerr said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bonus Factoids:</div>
<div>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Jim Thorpe eventually had his Olympic medals returned in 1983… 30 years after his death.</li>
<li>In the U.S. patent in 1973 where “octothorpe” first appears, the asterisk (*) was referred to as a “sextile”.</li>
<li>The # is often called the pound symbol in the United States as it is
often used with numbers related to weight. Originally “lb.” was used
for this same meaning. Later, printers designed a font containing a
special symbol of “lb” with a line through the verticals so that the “l”
wouldn’t be mistaken as a one (℔, Unicode character U+2114).
Eventually, this changed to the more familiar and easier to type on a
standard keyboard “#” symbol.</li>
<li>Another common name for the # symbol in the United States is
“number”. In these two cases (pound and number), if the symbol precedes
a number, as in #2, it is traditionally read as “number”. If the
symbol follows the number, it is traditionally read as “pound”.</li>
<li>Yet another accepted name for the # symbol is “hash”, which is a
popular one in the UK. It is also the generally accepted name for the
symbol when referring to computer programming usage (often used as a
comment sign, particularly in scripting languages).</li>
<li>An international standards body officially named the # symbol
“square” in 1989. This is why the British Post Office and British
Telecom call the symbol a square, instead of the more common British
name for it of “hash”.</li>
<li>The # symbol is also commonly called a “sharp” in such places as
Japan and others. In many places, this is as a result of the similarity
to the musical sharp symbol (♯).</li>
<li>In Malaysia, the # symbol is commonly called a “hex”.</li>
<li>The * and # were originally selected to go on a standard telephone
pad in 1961. Link Rice and Jack Soderberg at Bell Labs toured the
country trying to find out what possible telephone/computer interactions
might come up and what would be the best symbols to use for those.
Eventually, they settled on the * and the # as those keys were available
on standard typewriter keyboards.</li>
<li>In the U.S.-English layout of a standard keyboard, the # symbol
appears on the same key as the number 3. On the UK-English keyboard,
the character above the number 3 is the £. Americans call both of
these symbols by the term “pound”, but the English never call “#” by
“pound” for obvious reasons.</li>
<li>Microsoft’s programming language C♯ (pronounced C-sharp) is often
mispronounced “C hash” or “C pound”. The confusion comes from the fact
that the symbol following the C is supposed to be the musical sharp
symbol (♯). But given the # symbols prevalence in various programming
languages, most programmers assume it was meant to be the “hash” symbol,
until corrected.</li>
<li>In scripting languages where a # is followed by a ! (as in #!), this
is known as a “shabang” (sometimes spelled “sh-bang” or “shebang”) and
is typically used to tell the operating system what program to use to
run some script. The former name of “shabang” is thought to have come
from the contractions “SHArp bang” or “haSH bang”; another popular
theory is that it comes from the fact that the default shell “sh” is
usually invoked with “shebang”, hence “sh-bang” and eventually
“shabang”. The latter “bang” name for the exclamation point is
traditional Unix jargon.</li>
<li>In Chess notation, the # symbol placed after a move indicates a checkmate. This replaced the more traditional ‡ symbol.</li>
<li>The compound tone generated on a phone by pressing the # key is a mixing of 941 Hz and 1477 Hz.</li>
<li>The two horizontal lines in the sharp symbol ♯ are optional in musical notation, but required in the # symbol.</li>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Chocolate. There are few foods that evoke as much passion as this decadent treat. Folklore from many cultures claimed that consuming chocolate instilled faith, health, strength, and sexual passion. Once an indulgence of royalty, it is now a treasured and accessible - and yes, even healthy - treat. So where did our infatuation with chocolate begin?</i><br />
<br />
<b>Where does chocolate come from, anyway?</b><br />
<br />
The cacao tree, whose pods contain seeds that can be processed into chocolate, was discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the Americas. The first people known to have consumed cacao were the Classic Period Maya (250-900 A.D.). They mixed ground cacao (cocoa) seeds with seasonings to make a bitter, spicy drink that was believed to be a health elixir.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-95Y1BZZ0u6g/Tfd37AtABBI/AAAAAAAAAcM/GjpmHXePZeY/s1600/chocolate-tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-95Y1BZZ0u6g/Tfd37AtABBI/AAAAAAAAAcM/GjpmHXePZeY/s320/chocolate-tree.jpg" width="215" /></a><b>What was chocolate's great allure?</b><br />
<br />
To the Mayans, cocoa pods symbolized life and fertility. The pod was often represented in religious rituals, including marriage ceremonies, and was referred to as food of the gods. In central Mexico, the Aztecs believed that wisdom and power came from eating the fruit of the cocoa tree, and that it had nourishing, fortifying, and even aphrodisiac qualities. The Aztec emperor Montezuma even drank liquid chocolate daily to enhance his libido.<br />
<br />
<b>Europeans get a taste of chocolate - and fall in love.</b><br />
Europeans got their first taste of chocolate in 1519, when Montezuma offered the spicy drink to Spanish explorer Cortes and his army. The Spanish conquistadors brought cocoa seeds back to Spain, where they introduced new spices and sugar to the liquid concoction. The fad drink spread throughout Europe, where it remained a beverage of the elite for centuries.<br />
<br />
<b>Chocolate becomes known for its powers of seduction.</b><br />
<br />
Chocolate's reputation as an aphrodisiac flourished in the French royal court. Erotic art and literature were inspired by the seductive substance. Casanova, the infamous womanizer, made a habit of drinking chocolate before his romantic escapades. Even today, romantic lore commonly identifies chocolate as an aphrodisiac.<br />
<br />
<b>Chocolate goes global.</b><br />
<br />
The first machine-made chocolate was produced in Barcelona in 1780, paving the way for the mass production of chocolate. Later, mechanical inventions made it possible to produce smooth, creamy, solid chocolate for eating - not just the liquid for drinking. The first solid chocolate bar was developed by British chocolate maker Fry & Sons in the early 1800s.<br />
<br />
<b>When did chocolate become associated with Valentine's Day?</b><br />
<br />
"It's believed that during the 17th century, lovers began exchanging mementos on Valentine's Day - sweet treats were one of them. In 1868, the first Valentine's Day box of chocolates was introduced [by Richard Cadbury]," - says Susan L. Fussell, senior director of communications for the National Confectioners Association.<br />
<br />
<b>Three cheers for chocolate!</b><br />
<br />
In 1875, the first milk chocolate was introduced to the market by Daniel Peter of Switzerland. Chocolate became so popular around the world that even during World War II the U.S. government shipped cocoa beans to the troops. Today, the U.S. Army includes chocolate bars in their rations. Chocolate has even been taken into space as part of the diet of U.S. astronauts.<br />
<br />
<b>Is chocolate really an aphrodisiac?</b><br />
<br />
Not really, even though throughout its history, chocolate has been purported as one. Chocolate contains small amounts of a chemical called phenylethylamine (PEA), a.k.a. the "love drug," and it's been linked to the regulation of physical energy, mood, and attention. A tiny amount of PEA is released at moments of emotional euphoria, elevating blood pressure and heart rate. There is no evidence that PEA found in foods increases PEA in the brain - although many chocolate lovers may beg to differ!<br />
<br />
<b>The 21st Century: Chocolate makes health headlines.</b><br />
<br />
Dark chocolate (as opposed to milk or white chocolate) contains healthful flavonoids similar to those found in tea, red wine, fruits, and vegetables. Studies have shown that small portions of dark chocolate can improve blood vessel flow and may improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity to help reduce the risk of diabetes. But beware, chocolate candy has plenty of saturated fat and sugar, which can lead to weight gain, so enjoy small portions of as part of a healthy diet.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-37287709388481722792011-06-14T20:20:00.000+05:302011-06-14T20:20:50.060+05:30Top Monsoon Flower Plants For Your Garden<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Everyone
is eagerly awaiting a cool monsoon season, after a particularly stifling summer.
However, as you watch the clouds gathering and wish for a heavy downpour, you
wish the you don't have to face the hassles that come along with the monsoon
rains. Water seeping through the walls, termite infestations, fungus covering
your walls and not to mention the respiratory problems that are caused due to
this. These rainy season problems have to be fixed immediately, else it leads to
damages and extensive repairs to your home.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div>
</div>
<div>
Older homes are more prone to these problems, specially when
there is a heavy shower or constant drizzle. It's your home, so protection by
following a few basic tips could help you prevent many impending damages and
help you have a cool monsoon home.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b>Top 10 Home Protection Tips For Monsoon </b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1. Seek professional help and check your house before the
onset of monsoons for any cracks or openings. These cracks should be filled with
modified waterproof mortar and sealed. The same polymer can be used to seal the
joints in the pipes that take down the rain water. Ensure that the pipes that
carry away the rain water, are not clogged with dust or leaves.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
2. Instead of spending extra money on sophisticated
decorations or furnishings, you could opt for roof insulation, which is a great
way to protect your house from any impending damages. This would help keep the
house warm during winter, cooler during summer. It also prevents unwanted noises
from entering the house.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
3. If you have any damaged tiles, replace them
immediately.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
4. Water tends to collect and stagnate on flat surfaces. By
providing slopes where ever possible, you could overcome this
problem.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
5. To prevent water from seeping in through windows or doors,
make sure that their frames are water tight and well-sealed.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
6. For a well prepared monsoon home, regular painting of the
exteriors can also prevent water leakages.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
7. Installation of ventilators in the damp areas of the
building avoids moisture from building up. Good ventilation ensures that there
is plenty of air movement around the house.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
8. Another important thing that has to be taken care of is the
electrical connections around the house. Damages such as exposed wires have to
be taken care of immediately, else it will lead to shock or fires.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
9. Furnishings tend to get musty during the monsoon. They have
to be regularly vacuumed or set out in the sun whenever possible.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
10. Check for termite infestation, as an humid atmosphere will
only boost the growth of termites. Make sure that wooden floors and furniture
are properly polished to prevent moisture from building up. Cupboards and desks
are easy target for infestation. Use camphor, neem leaves or cloves between
clothes to keep away insects.</div>
<div>
</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">These home protection tips also come in handy for those who
are under the process of constructing their dream house, as prevention is a
better option. So go ahead and enjoy a great monsoon shower – only outside your
home!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-33473385104896088282011-06-09T22:02:00.000+05:302011-06-09T22:02:56.444+05:30Best solutions for real life problems<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">1.</span><span style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"> If your throat tickles, scratch your ea</span><span style="color: blue;">r!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">When
you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you
can still
appreciate a good body-based feat, especially if it serves as a health
remedy. Take that tickle in your throat; it's not worth gagging over.
Here's a better way to scratch your itch: "When the nerves in the ear
are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a
muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and
throat specialty center
in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #007f40;"><b>Experience supersonic hearing!</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">If
you're stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with
your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid
rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen
School of Medicine. If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify
that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the
sound. The left ear is better at picking up music
tones.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">
<span>3. </span>
<span style="color: #b27c51;">Overcome your most primal urge!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Need
to pee? No bathroom nearby? Fantasize about Katy Perry. Thinking about
sex preoccupies your brain, so you won't feel as much discomfort, says
Larry Lipshultz, M.D., chief of male reproductive medicine at the Baylor
College of Medicine. For best results, try Perry's "California Gurls"
video.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">
<span>4. </span>
<span style="color: #668f5a;">Feel no pain!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">German
researchers have discovered that coughing during an
injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick. According to Taras
Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, the
trick causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and
spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal
cord.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">Clear your stuffed nose!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Forget
Sudafed. Here's an easier, quicker, and cheaper remedy to relieve sinus
pressure is by alternately thrusting your tongue against the roof of
your mouth, then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. This
causes the vomer bone, which runs through the nasal passages to the
mouth, to rock back and forth, says Lisa DeStefano, D.O., an assistant
professor at the Michigan State University college of
osteopathic medicine. The motion loosens congestion; after 20 seconds,
you'll feel your sinuses start to drain.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">6.
<span style="color: #aa4d4e;">Fight fire without water! Acid Reflux</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Worried
those wings will repeat on you
tonight? Try this preventive remedy: "Sleep on your left side," says
Anthony A. Starpoli, M.D., a New York City gastroenterologist and
assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Studies
have shown that patients who sleep on their left sides are less likely
to suffer from acid reflux. The esophagus and stomach connect at an
angle. When you sleep on your right, the stomach is higher than the
esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. When
you're on your left, the stomach is lower than the esophagus, so
gravity's in your favor.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">7.
<span style="color: #ff7f00;">Cure your toothache without opening your mouth!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Just
rub ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped webbed area between
your thumb and index finger. A Canadian study found
that this technique reduces toothache pain by as much as 50 percent
compared with using no ice. The nerve pathways at the base of that V
stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face
and hands.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">8.
<span style="color: #0000bf;">Make burns disappear!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">When
you accidentally singe your finger on the stove, clean the skin and
apply light pressure with the finger pads of your unmarred hand. Ice
will relieve your pain more quickly, Dr. DeStefano says, but since the
natual method brings the burned skin back to a normal temperature, the
skin is less likely to blister.</span></span><br />
<br /><br />
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px;">9.
<span style="color: #007f40;">Stop the world from spinning!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">One
too many drinks left you dizzy? Ah, luckily there's a remedy. Put your
hand on something stable. The part of your ear responsible for
balance—the cupula—floats in a fluid of the same density as blood. "As
alcohol dilutes blood in the cupula, the cupula becomes less dense and
rises," says Dr. Schaffer. This confuses your brain. The tactile input
from a stable object gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more
in balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive, this works
better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor wisdom.</span></strong><br />
<br /><br />
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">10. </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px;">
<b><span style="color: #ff7f00;">Unstitch your side!</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">If
you're like most people, when you run, you exhale as your right foot
hits the ground. This puts downward pressure on your liver (which lives
on
your right side), which then tugs at the diaphragm and creates a side
stitch, according to <em style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px;">The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Men</em>. The fix: Exhale as your left foot strikes the ground.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">11.
<span style="color: #b27c51;">Stanch blood with a single finger!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Pinching
your nose and leaning back is a great way to stop a nosebleed—if you
don't mind choking on your own O positive. A more civil approach: Put
some cotton on your
upper gums—just behind that small dent below your nose—and press against
it, hard. "Most bleeds come from the front of the septum, the cartilage
wall that divides the nose," says Peter Desmarais, M.D., an ear, nose,
and throat specialist at Entabeni Hospital, in Durban, South Africa.
"Pressing here helps stop them."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">12.
<span style="color: #668f5a;">Make your heart stand still!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Trying
to quell first-date jitters? Blow on your thumb. The vagus nerve, which
governs heart rate, can be controlled through breathing, says Ben Abo,
an emergency medical-services specialist at the University of
Pittsburgh. It'll get your heart rate back to normal.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">13.
<span style="color: #bfbf00;">Thaw your brain!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Too
much Chipwich too fast will freeze the brains of lesser men. As for
you, press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as
much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get
extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says Abo.
"In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache." The
more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your
headache will subside.</span></span><br />
<br /><br />
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px;">14.
<span style="color: #ff7f00;">Prevent near-sightedness!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Poor
distance vision is rarely caused by genetics, says Anne Barber, O.D.,
an optometrist in Tacoma, Washington. "It's usually caused by near-point
stress." In other words, staring at your computer screen for too long.
So flex your way to 20/20 vision. Every few hours during the day, close
your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath, and, after a few
seconds, release your breath and muscles at the same time. Tightening
and
releasing muscles such as the biceps and glutes can trick involuntary
muscles—like the eyes—into relaxing as well.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">15.
<span style="color: magenta;">Wake the dead!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">If
your hand falls asleep while you're driving or sitting in an odd
position, rock your head from side to side. It'll painlessly banish your
pins and needles in less than a minute, says Dr. DeStefano. A tingly
hand
or arm is often the result of compression in the bundle of nerves in
your neck; loosening your neck muscles releases the pressure. Compressed
nerves lower in the body govern the feet, so don't let your sleeping
dogs lie. Stand up and walk around.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">16.<span style="color: #007f40;"> Impress your friends!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Next
time you're at a party, try this trick: Have a person hold one arm
straight out to the side, palm down, and instruct him to maintain this
position. Then place two fingers on his wrist and push down. He'll
resist. Now have him put one foot on a surface that's a half inch higher
(a few magazines) and repeat. This time his arm will cave like the
French. By misaligning his hips, you've offset his spine, says Rachel
Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., co-owner of Results Fitness, in
Santa Clarita, California. Your brain senses that the spine is
vulnerable, so it shuts down the body's ability to resist.</span></span><br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px;">17.
<span style="color: #007f40;">Breathe underwater!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">If
you're dying to retrieve that quarter from the bottom of the pool, take
several short breaths first—essentially, hyperventilate. When you're
underwater, it's not a lack of oxygen that makes you desperate for a
breath; it's the buildup of carbon dioxide, which makes your blood
acidic, which signals your brain that somethin' ain't right. "When you
hyperventilate, the influx of oxygen lowers blood acidity," says
Jonathan Armbruster, Ph.D.,
an associate professor of biology at Auburn University. "This tricks
your brain into thinking it has more oxygen." It'll buy you up to 10
seconds.</span></strong><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; font-weight: bold;">18.
<span style="color: #ff7f00;">Read minds!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; font-weight: normal;">Your
own! "If you're giving a speech the next day, review it before falling
asleep," says Candi Heimgartner, an instructor of biological sciences at
the University of Idaho. Since most memory consolidation happens during
sleep, anything you read right before bed is more likely to be encoded
as long-term memory.</span></span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-26474197655381614572011-06-09T21:55:00.000+05:302011-06-09T21:55:19.658+05:30Useful household tips<b>Ants Problem:</b><br />Ants hate cucumbers.<br />Keep the skin of cucumbers near the place or ant hole.<br /><br /><b>To get pure and clean ice :</b><br />Boil water first before freezing.<br /><br /><b>To make the mirror shine:</b><br />Clean with spirit<br /><b><br />To remove chewing gum from clothes: </b><br />Keep the cloth in the freezer for an hour.<br /><br /><b>To whiten white clothes:</b><br />Soak white clothes in hot water with a slice of lemon for 10 minutes<br /><br /><b>To give a shine to hair :</b><br />Add one teaspoon of vinegar to hair, then wash hair.<br /><br /><b>To get maximum juice out of lemons :</b><br />Soak lemons in hot water for one hour, and then juice them.<br /><br /><b>To avoid smell of cabbage while cooking:</b><br />Keep a piece of bread on the cabbage in the vessel while cooking.<br /><br /><b>To avoid tears while cutting onions:</b><br />Chew gum.<br /><br /><b>To boil potatoes quickly:</b><br />Skin one potato from one side only before boiling.<br /><br /><b>To remove ink from clothes :</b><br />Put toothpaste on the ink spots generously and let it dry completely, then wash.<br /><br /><b>To skin sweet potatoes quickly :</b><br />Soak in cold water immediately after boiling.<br /><br /><b>To get rid of mice or rats :</b><br />sprinkle black pepper in places where you find mice or rats.<br />They will run away.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-90018206283530501232011-06-08T21:12:00.000+05:302011-06-08T21:12:14.342+05:30How to reset your iPod [ All versions:- iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod classic 160 GB (Late 2009) ]<div class="attr INTRODUCTION" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">How to make curry powder house</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The first thing we do to make our own homemade curry powder, is <b>acquire the different seeds</b>. Today it is fairly easy, and easily found in health food shops and Asian food stores. Good to know the different names of the seeds. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The <b>coriander </b>seeds, sometimes we find it under the name of <i>Coriander</i>Or in English, <i>coriander</i>. Seeds <b>fennel</b>, Sometimes appearing under the name<i> Fennel </i>and <b>turmeric</b>, Which is what gives curry its yellow traditional, sometimes comes with the name of <i>Turmeric</i>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Once we have located all the ingredients, we began <b>dry roasting </b>in
a frying pan different seeds. We must not use any oil or other liquid,
only the seeds and fire softly. We must move continuously to prevent
burning. But it will begin to enjoy a great aroma, which extends
throughout the kitchen.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Once they have been about 7 or 8 minutes, stirring continuously,
turn off the heat and let our seeds to cool. If, after five minutes, we
can crush a <b>coffee mill</b>Or alternatively, in a mortar
that will be used for this function. Then, without difficulty, we have
an aromatic blend of ground spices.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To finish our mix, add the chile powder, ginger and turmeric
finally, and re-mixed with the mill, or otherwise giving few bumps and
turns in the mortar. We have ready our homemade curry powder, which <b>beautifully preserved aroma</b> In an airtight spice for a couple of months.</span></div>

we should not be a condition or emotional illness to undergo a process
of psychotherapy, it would be healthy for almost everyone, to initiate a
process of self-evaluative and self with an experienced
psychotherapist.</span></span></span> <span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="color: black;">Psychiatrists,

are several kinds of psychotherapy, which require different approaches

there are different types of psychotherapy, they all rely on
communication to achieve changes in emotions and behavior of the
individual.</span></span></span> <span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="color: black;">Psychotherapy can be provided individual, group or family.</span></span></span> <span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="color: black;">In

As one of the flagship titles of bel canto, paves the way for
comparisons between singers from a purely technical point of view, a
horrible pastime of many operófilos that sometimes borders on
perversion.</span> <span>
Right after Saturday's representation was who said that Damrau is not a
true bel canto as Gruberova, Fabiano boasts an imperfect technique to
José Carreras or Tezier's voice is too colorful to pass from one record
to another.</span> <span> Forget it.</span> <span>
A "Lucia" as they are listening to these days in Bilbo, with a cast of
singers that performs as well and given the current shortage of bel
canto voice and the extreme difficulty of this opera, is a luxury Asia.</span> <span>
Because we are not in New York or Milan, we Bilbo, and what the Met or
La Scala had been very remarkable, Bilbo is simply extraordinary.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span> Diana Damrau only thing missing was able to take more projection and brightness in the treble.</span> <span>
Otherwise, you can not sing much better than she did at the scene of
madness, and certainly can not do more and with greater intensity.</span> <span>
Hypnotics were a few minutes, and that almost ruined by your mobile
phone should be captured and hanged by the thumbs on the stage during
the following representations.</span> <span>
The tenor Michael Fabiano debut in ABAO and was greatly surprised:
beautiful voice and snatched actor, with a sharp a tad tense, but in the
tragic "Tu che a Dio spiegasti l'ali", sung on the floor beside the
body Lucia, gave even more excitement to the scene.</span> <span> It was a standing ovation from the ever hear in Bilbo.</span> <span>
Ludovic Tezier, in a voice that ran perfectly throughout the
Euskalduna, sang with distinction, but, above all, it was a terrible and
inhuman Enrico to give rabies.</span> <span>
And Orfila, as Raimondo, despite some oddities in his song, also signed
a performance full of intensity, especially towards the end.</span> <span>
The choir was good, the Orchestre de Navarra very well and the
director, Carlo Montanaro, very efficient with the needs of this bel
canto.</span> <span> The Sagi staging was simple, elegant and effective.</span> <span> Anyway, it was a "Lucia" a high general level.</span> <span> And those "Lucias" is not readily available, either in Milan or New York.</span></span> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138855673652777881.post-34796771360368815212011-06-07T12:03:00.000+05:302011-06-07T12:03:51.783+05:30How to identify the customer type and needs?<br />

For there to be communication is necessary, when speaking, the issuer

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
If, for example, a foreign person talks, issuing a message in their
language, and do not understand not knowing the language, in this case,
if the issuer has spoken, there is no <b><i>oral communication.</i></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><i> </i></b> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> There are a number of standards to be met by both the sender and the receiver so that <b><i>oral communication</i></b> is correct and leaving no room for doubt in this way, the message is understood as intended by the sender. Some of these rules are: <br /> <b><br /></b></span></div>
<blockquote style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> <b>- The language should be known by the sender and receiver.</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The issuer must give short, concise messages.</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The receiver must listen carefully without distractions.</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The sender must clearly express</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The receiver must not get carried away by feelings they have toward the transmitter.</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The issuer must accompany the message, if possible, with gestures that reinforce it (nonverbal).</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- The issuer must ensure that the receiver is understanding the message.</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>-
The recipient must show interest and inspiration to the sender if it is
covered or not it wishes to transmit (you can also use non-verbal
language).</b> <b></b><br /><b></b> <b>- Asking the word before you use it (do not interrupt each other).</b></span></blockquote>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
Non-verbal language, also known as body language, is one that
strengthens through gestures or movements that the message is playing. Examples of non-verbal language are :-</span></div>

<span>Companies often use a <strong>very technical terms and nice to sell the bike.</strong></span> <span> That if Vodafone has coverage HSUPA, 3.5G Movistar offers but really <strong>what is and to serve all those buzzwords?</strong></span> </div>
<span> Currently <strong>there are four operators in Spain that are</strong> licensed for <strong>3G or UMTS:</strong> Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Telstra. <strong>From that 3G technologies have been developed that enable ever faster browsing</strong> from your mobile or from a computer connected Through a modem.</span> </blockquote>

<blockquote style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Right now the <strong>best rate offered is Vodafone HSPA +</strong> coverage areas. <strong>This technology,</strong> with the appropriate phone modem or, <strong>in theory allows browsing to 21.6 Mbps downstream and upstream 5.76.</strong></span> <span>
This rate is available for various mobile Internet products while

<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> For most of the <strong>Orange</strong> mobile internet rates operate on <strong>HSDPA</strong> so <strong>the</strong> download <strong>speed is 7.2 Mbps.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span>
Knowing the speed offered by each operator (MVNO will always depend on
the operator to provide them with coverage) the question <strong>is how fast I need to surf the Internet and</strong> the answer is not simple, since it depends on how it is used to connection.</span> </div>

<blockquote style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="background-color: white;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> To navigate <strong>from the phone</strong> with a theoretical speed of <strong>3.2 Mbps</strong> HSDPA gives <strong>it would be more than enough</strong> but to travel through a computer would recommend a higher speed, at least for the 7.2 Mbps offered by three major operators.</span> </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="background-color: white;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Especially because <strong>of the theory to reality is a long way</strong> and as Telstra said in its website with its 3.2 Mbps <strong>"normal average speed of such connections is 0.8 - 1.5 Mbps.</strong> This information is not I usually give the operators but we are well Clarita.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span>If you have a kidney stone, also called kidney stone, you probably already know how painful it can be.</span> <span> Most stones pass out of the body without having to consult a physician.</span> <span> But sometimes a stone will not be removed alone.</span> <span> You can even become larger.</span> <span> Your doctor can help.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> You should call the doctor when</span> </div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> <span> severe pain in the back or side that will not go away</span> </li>
<li> <span> blood in urine</span> </li>
<li> <span> fever and chills</span> </li>
<li> <span> vomiting</span> </li>
<li> <span> urine that smells bad or looks cloudy, not clear</span> </li>
<li> <span> a burning sensation when urinating</span> </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> These may be signs of a kidney stone that required a doctor's care.</span> </div>
<span></span><a href="" id="kidfunction" name="kidfunction"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> What do the kidneys?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs.</span> <span> Everyone has more or less, the size of your fist.</span> <span> They are located near the middle of the back, just below the ribs, one on each side of the column.</span> <span> The kidneys are complex waste collectors.</span> <span> Each day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 liters of excess water and waste.</span> <span> Excess water and waste becomes urine, which flows to the bladder through tubes called ureters.</span> <span> The bladder stores urine until you go to the bathroom.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Drawing of the urinary tract in an adult male. We focus on the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. An inset shows an enlarged making a kidney. It identifies the arteries that carry blood to the kidney waste, the vein that carries blood to the kidney clean, and the urethra, which carries waste and extra water into the bladder as urine." height="290" src="http://www.kidney.niddk.nih.gov/spanish/pubs/stones_ez/images/KidneyWaste_SP.jpg" width="436" /><br /> <span> <i><span class="caption">Wastes removed from the blood pass into the bladder.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span><i><span class="caption"> </span></i></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Waste found in the blood are normal wear and active muscle foods you eat.</span> <span> The body uses food for energy and to repair itself.</span> <span> Once the body has taken what it needs from food, wastes enter the blood.</span> <span> If the kidneys did not remove these wastes, they accumulate in the blood and would harm the body.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> In addition to removing wastes, your kidneys help control blood pressure.</span> <span> They also help make red blood cells of the blood and bones to remain strong.</span> </div>
<span></span><a href="" id="stone" name="stone"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> What is a kidney stone?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in the kidney by substances in the urine.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> A stone may stay in the kidney or break loose and travel down the urinary tract.</span> <span> A small stone may pass outside the body without causing too much pain.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> A larger stone may get stuck in a ureter, bladder, or urethra.</span> <span> A problem stone can block the flow of urine and cause great pain.</span> </div>
<span></span><a href="" id="alike" name="alike"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Are all types of stones?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> No. Doctors have found four main types of kidney stones.</span> </div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> <span> The most common type of stone contains <strong>calcium.</strong> Calcium is a mineral that is part of a healthy diet.</span> <br /><br /> <span> Calcium is not used for bones and muscles goes to the kidneys.</span> <span> In most people, the kidneys remove excess calcium with the rest of the urine.</span> <span> People who have calcium stones keep the calcium in the kidneys.</span> <br /><br /> <span> Calcium is not removed joins with other waste products to form a stone.</span> <span> The most common combination is the calcium oxalate stones.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> A <strong>struvite</strong> stone may form after an infection of the urinary system.</span> <span> These stones contain the mineral magnesium and the waste product, ammonia.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> A <strong>uric acid</strong> stone may form when there is too much acid in the urine.</span> <span> If you have the tendency to form uric acid stones, you may have to reduce the amount of meat you eat.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> <strong>Cystine</strong> stones are rare.</span> <span> Cystine is one of the basic components that make up muscles, nerves and other body parts.</span> <span> Cystine can build up in the urine to form a stone.</span> <span> The disease that causes cystine stone formation is inherited, which means "runs in the family."</span> </li>
</ul>
<span></span><a href="" id="look" name="look"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> What is the appearance of kidney stones?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Kidney stones may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pearl.</span> <span> Even some stones can be the size of a golf ball.</span> <span> The stone surface can be smooth or jagged.</span> <span> They are usually yellow or brown.</span> </div>

<span> What can my doctor if I have a problem stone?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> If you have a stone that can not eliminate from the body, your doctor may need to take remedial steps.</span> <span> In the past, the only way to remove a problem stone was through a medical operation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Currently, doctors have new ways to remove problem stones.</span> <span> The following sections describe some of these methods.</span> </div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> <u>Shock waves</u></span> </h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Your doctor can use a machine to send shock waves directly on the kidney stone.</span> <span> The waves break a large stone into smaller stones that can pass through the urinary system with your urine.</span> <span> The technical name for this method is lithotripsy extracorporeal shock wave (also known by its initials in English as ESWL).</span> <span> Doctors often call it ESWL for short.</span> <span> Lithotripsy word comes from Greek and means grinding stone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> There are two types of machines that produce shock waves.</span> <span> In one of the machines, the patient sits in a tub or vat of water.</span> <span> In the majority of new machines, you lie on a stretcher.</span> <span> A health technician will use ultrasound or x-ray images to direct the shock waves at the stone.</span> </div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> <u>Tunnel surgery</u></span> </h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span>
In this method, the doctor makes a small cut in the patient's back,
forming a narrow tunnel through the skin to the stone inside the kidney.</span> <span> With a special instrument that fits inside the tunnel, the doctor can find the stone and remove it.</span> <span> The technical name for this method is percutaneous nephrolithotomy.</span> </div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> <u>The ureteroscope</u></span> </h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> At A ureteroscope looks like a long wire.</span> <span>
The doctor inserts it into the patient's urethra, passes it through the
bladder and above, directs it to the ureter where the stone is located.</span> <span> The ureteroscope has a camera that can see where the stone.</span> <span>
Through a small cage, catch the stone and pull it out of the body, or
the doctor may remove the stone with a device inserted through the
ureteroscope.</span></div>
<span></span><a href="" id="kind" name="kind"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> How will my doctor find out what kind of stone I have?</span> </h3>
<div style="float: right; text-align: justify; width: 216px;">
<img alt="Drawing of an adult woman who is to use the toilet." height="210" src="http://www.kidney.niddk.nih.gov/spanish/pubs/stones_ez/images/ladytoil.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="216" /><br /> <span> <i><span class="caption">Try to catch a stone in a strainer.</span></i></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> The best way to determine the type of stone you have is that your doctor examine the stone itself.</span> <span> If you know you're passing a stone, try to catch it in a colander.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Chances are your doctor will ask for a sample of urine or blood test to find out what is causing the stones.</span> <span> You may need to collect your urine for 24 hours.</span> <span> These tests will help the doctor determine what you should do is not to re-form stones in the future.</span> </div>
<span></span><a href="" id="why" name="why"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Why do I need to know what kind of stone I have?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> The therapy your doctor gives you depends on what type of stone you have.</span> <span> For example, a drug that prevents the formation of calcium stones will not work if you have a struvite stone.</span> <span> Dietary changes that help in preventing the formation of uric acid stones have no effect on calcium stones.</span> <span> Therefore, careful analysis of the stone will help guide treatment.</span> </div>
<span></span><a href="" id="avoid" name="avoid"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> What I can do to avoid more stones?</span> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Drink more water.</span> <span> Try to drink every day, 12 full glasses of water.</span> <span> Drink lots of water helps to flush away the substances that form kidney stones.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Woman drinking glass of water" height="206" src="http://www.kidney.niddk.nih.gov/spanish/pubs/stones_ez/images/drinking.jpg" width="238" /><br /> <span> <i><span class="caption">Try to take all of 12 full glasses of water.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span><span class="caption"> </span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> You can also make soft drinks like ginger ale, lemon-lime soft drinks and fruit juices.</span> <span> But water is best.</span> <span> Limit your coffee, tea and soft drinks 1 to 2 cups a day because the caffeine can do to remove the liquid too quickly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Your doctor may tell you to eat more of certain foods and less of others.</span> <span>
For example, if you have a uric acid stone, your doctor may ask you to
eat less meat, because meat to digest in the body decomposes and
produces uric acid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> If you are prone to forming calcium oxalate stones, you might need to limit foods that are high in oxalate content.</span> <span> These foods include rhubarb, beets, spinach and chocolate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span> The doctor may prescribe medication to prevent or avoid the formation of calcium stones and uric acid.</span> </div>
<a href="" id="points" name="points"></a><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span> Points to remember</span> </h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> <span> Most stones pass out of the body without having to consult a physician.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> Ask your doctor if you have severe pain in the back or side that will not go away.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> Go to your doctor if you have blood in the urine, the urine will appear pink.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> When you pass a stone, try to catch it in a strainer to show your doctor.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> Drink lots of water to prevent or avoid more stones.</span> <br /></li>
<li> <span> Talk to your doctor about ways to prevent more stones.</span> </li>

Agency has to study the planet's mysterious piece and found it a huge
magnetic force equivalent to what was done to the sun and therefore Gedo
and that there are many risks if approached from the path of the earth

<br />
<i>ATMs,
originally called ATM (Automatic Teller Machine or ATM machine) are
electronic devices that enable bank customers to make cash withdrawals
and check your account statements, deposit cash or checks, transfer
money between different accounts banks, using smart card or even buy
time for your phone at any time of day, 365 days a year, without having
to go to the bank.</i><br />
<br />
<b>History of ATM?<i> </i></b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first ATM in the world was produced by the firm <a href="http://www.ncr.com/about_ncr/index.jsp">NCR</a> and installed in London on June 27, 1967, by <a href="http://www.barclays.com/">Barclays Bank</a> . The invention is credited to John <a href="http://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml%3Fcid%3D1217981">Shepherd Barron</a> , but no record that <a href="http://inza.wordpress.com/2007/07/08/el-primer-cajero-automatico/">George Simchi</a> handled the patent in New Yok from the 1930's. At first the process was taking too long and did not require a special key, which lent itself to fraud, so the current ATM customers to authenticate using a numerical code called a PIN. </div>

<b>How it works?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A card reader captures the credit or debit card and read the customer
information contained in the magnetic stripe is on the back. The data is sent to a central computer.</div>

With the receipt slot has the option to print or not the receipt of the transaction. The screen shows each step of the process: ATM Some monitors use CRT, others screen LCD. Some do the talking. Repeat instructions when a key is pressed and also gives information concerning the bank. Screen buttons are those who say the bank transaction type is required.</div>

Electronic Eye. Is the mechanism that gives cash. Incorporates a sensor that counts each bill once the desired amount requested. Another sensor evaluates the thickness of each paper money: if the tickets are glued or torn, are retained. This count and transaction data are stored in an electronic diary. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
