Study Habits
The earlier on children establish good study habits, the better their chances of academic success. Achievement in the classroom is only partly dependent upon natural ability. Like a highly skilled basketball player whos never been adequately coached, a gifted child without the proper academic guidance can fail to live up to his or her promise.
Theres no need to wait until middle or high school to start teaching good study habits. Even toddlers can understand that theres a time for work and a time for play, in whatever rudimentary form that understanding takes. This will be the basis for the distinction between classroom or homework time and play time once he or she enters first grade. Comprehensive study skills training at an early age can be highly beneficial, as can taking such a course at any time in life.
One of the first principles that parents and teachers must explain is that their kids are ultimately responsible for their own education. As such, they must be active learners, not passive recipients. Once a child is shown that he or she can own his or her education, the rewards of hard work and practice will become more selfevident. No longer will these children work to please mommy and daddy or teacher, but to better understand the world, its history, its culture, and its problems. Only then can students begin to work on solving those problems.
Setting priorities is a skill that functions hand in hand with owning ones education. Prioritizing means learning when and how to say no to invitations from friends and temptations such as TV, video games, and sports. Naturally, theres a time for each of these things as well, but good study habits include knowing when to sit down and do the work.

Sectional Sofas in Modern Living Room Design
Sectional Sofas in Modern Living Room Design
Modern living room furniture, as well as traditional living room furniture usually represents separate pieces of furniture placed throughout the room to create a certain design. The most common selection, used successfully for years, was a combination of the sofa, loveseat and/or one or two armchairs. Today, the new invention came into the picture: sectional sofa.
Modern sectional sofa quickly became one of the very popular selections in the modern living room furniture design. In comparison to the traditionally shaped modern sofa, modern sectional sofa gives you more positioning possibilities. You can customize your sofa by picking and choosing sections of it. You can create our own silhouette by moving the pieces around and redesign your living room at your will and not get stuck with the boring rectangularshaped form of the regular sofa, which can only be fitted at one place of the living room. The invention of the sectional sofa was especially useful for the smallsize apartments or condos, where the traditional sofa would not sometimes even make it through the entrance door. Besides, a sectional sofa can give use to one of the corners of the living room, which is usually abandoned or not fully utilized. Last, but not least, it is a lot easier to match the price of the sofa with your budget it you choose to go sectional.
Modern sectional sofas usually come in either leather or fabric, or a combination of both, though the last one is rare and mostly custommade. There are certain advantages and disadvantages of both leather and fabric.
Fabric sofa is usually selected by those who do not like that sticky feeling of the leather on their skin after sitting on it for a long time, especially during summer. Another reason to choose a fabric sofa over a leather sofa is that leather sofa does not get cleaned so easily despite of the guarantee from a salesperson offering easy leather treatment and/or cleaning supplies. At the same time fabric is easier to clean at home, without resorting to a professional cleaning service. And if you choose a removable cover, the cleaning problem only depends on a quality of the laundry detergent you use as practically all of the removable covers are washable. Finally, fabric sofa has been traditionally considered cheaper than its leather opponent.
The last statement was true until new, less expensive technology in leather processing was discovered. Also, furniture manufacturers started to combine natural and faux leather in a piece of furniture, putting the faux one in the back of it. As a result, leather furnitures average selling price dropped significantly, therefore becoming affordable to more people. This had a great impact on a furniture industry. Modern leather sofa is becoming a best seller to a lowtoaverageincome shopper over the past years, turning out to be a strong alternative to a fabric sofa. And using leather in your living room furniture design will certainly give your place more respectable and upscale appearance..

Almost overnight, scenes of customers crowding across teller counters and agitated employees vanished from the banks branches. Customers were no longer anxious about their turn and the branch became a more stress free environment. Existing customers of the bank were given higher priority in the Queue resulting in better customer retention. Having tasted success in its first phase, the bank decided to overhaul its entire operations and logistics across the branches. The Second Phase of OptiQ commenced in 2006 whereby data from individual systems was pooled into a central server.
OptiQs data provided an incisive insight into the working of a branch from average footfalls in a day to service bottlenecks, gaps in staff training and other operational issues. This data was then used by the analytics team in ICICI Bank to restructure its entire operations.

Partial Breastfeeding
Partial Breastfeeding
For some women, feeding a baby with breastmilk alone is not possible. The reasons for this vary. For instance, some Moms have had previous breast surgery and have damage to their milk producing glands and ducts. Other choose to mix formula and breastmilk feeding because they are working outside the home and cannot pump enough milk for baby needs. Still other Moms are adoptive nursing and are unable to bring in a full supply. These Moms may wonder if their baby is benefitting at all from the partial breastfeeding or if they should just quit nursing altogether.
To that, I resolutely say no. Breastfeeding does not have to be an all or nothing proposition! Every drop of mother milk a baby gets is a gift. Of course, the ideal situation is for Mom to exclusively breastfeed, but this isn possible for all Moms, and they should not stop nursing if this ideal can be reached. Your baby gains from the immunological, nutritional and other health benefits of breastmilk in any size World Health Organization defines partial breastfeeding as: giving a baby some breastfeeds, and some artificial feeds, either milk or cereal, or other food. So by definition, a Mother who exclusively breastfed her infant for some time but who is now offering solid foods is also partially breastfeeding.
If you are working outside the home and find that you cannot pump enough to meet baby needs, don give up nursing. If measures to increase your supply or pumping output have failed, continue to breastfeed your baby as much as you can when you with him, including at night. Don fall prey to feelings of guilt or inadequacy either, they won do you or baby any good. Applaud your efforts to continue giving your baby the best.
Your baby also enjoys the aspects of nursing that have nothing to do with the milk: the pleasure of skin to skin contact, increased bonding, and the stimulation of your hormones such as oxytocin and prolaction that make you feel happier and reduce feelings of stress. The baby also will benefit from better jaw and facial development and the comfort that sucking at the breast provides.
This is in no way belittles the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, but in cases where it impossible to do so, any amount of breastfeeding is a good thing. Read our full Terms of Service.

How To Strengthen Thigh Muscles
How To Strengthen Thigh Muscles
People can have long or short thighs, thin or round. Whatever lengths and sizes your thighs are, you should do your best to strengthen your thigh muscles while you are young. This way when you get older, you can still do the things that you love such as walking, running, swimming or even dancing. No need to fret, you do not have to spend lots of money to attend the gym, or buy an exercise equipment. Just read and follow the following steps below to find out how to strengthen your thigh muscles.
Use the stairs. If you need to go down or up for just a couple of floors, use the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator. Here is a tip: it is easier to go down than up the stairs. So you can try using the stairs to go down even if it is more than a couple of flights. To pass the time, try counting the number of steps per flight of stairs.
Take your dog out for a walk. Some people take solitary walks or leisurely strolls to have some peace and quiet. But if you do not like walking by yourself, why not take your best animal friend with you? By walking around the block or at the park with your dog, your thigh muscles and your dogs muscles too get some much needed exercise from just sitting in front of your desk the whole day. You also get to save some money from not hiring someone to walk your dog for you.
Go to the pool. Swimming a few laps around the pool would strengthen your thigh muscles due to the leg kicking action of propelling yourself forward. Interchange your swimming styles among a crawl, backstroke or butterfly to use different parts of your thigh muscles. If you are a beginner in swimming, you can try holding on to the sides of the pool while practicing the different leg kicks.
Dont become a couch potato. This does not mean that you have to avoid watching TV or movies altogether. But instead of just sitting down, or lying on the bed, do some leg stretching. If you are sitting down, lift your legs up until it is parallel to the floor or your chair. Alternately raise your two legs. You can also do this leg lift while lying down on your back, or on your side. A variation for the leg lift in a lying down position is to bend your knees toward your head, and then straighten your legs again.
Eat your meats. Well, not just meats, but you must eat a complete balanced meal. Your body needs protein to maintain and repair any damaged cell or tissue in your body. The most common source of protein is meat. If you do not like eating meat, fish or soy products are also a good source of protein.
Take the bike. When going to school, office or other nearby destinations, use a bike instead of a car. The pedaling action strengthens your thigh muscles due to the contraction and expansion of your muscles. Using a bike is also environmentally friendly and helps to reduce the harmful gases in the atmosphere.

No need to fret, you do not have to spend lots of money to attend the gym, or buy an exercise equipment. Just read and follow the following steps below to find out how to strengthen your thigh muscles.
Use the stairs. If you need to go down or up for just a couple of floors, use the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator. Here is a tip: it is easier to go down than up the stairs. So you can try using the stairs to go down even if it is more than a couple of flights. To pass the time, try counting the number of steps per flight of stairs.
Take your dog out for a walk. Some people take solitary walks or leisurely strolls to have some peace and quiet. But if you do not like walking by yourself, why not take your best animal friend with you? By walking around the block or at the park with your dog, your thigh muscles and your dogs muscles too get some much needed exercise from just sitting in front of your desk the whole day. You also get to save some money from not hiring someone to walk your dog for you.
Go to the pool. Swimming a few laps around the pool would strengthen your thigh muscles due to the leg kicking action of propelling yourself forward. Interchange your swimming styles among a crawl, backstroke or butterfly to use different parts of your thigh muscles. If you are a beginner in swimming, you can try holding on to the sides of the pool while practicing the different leg kicks.
Dont become a couch potato. This does not mean that you have to avoid watching TV or movies altogether. But instead of just sitting down, or lying on the bed, do some leg stretching. If you are sitting down, lift your legs up until it is parallel to the floor or your chair. Alternately raise your two legs. You can also do this leg lift while lying down on your back, or on your side. A variation for the leg lift in a lying down position is to bend your knees toward your head, and then straighten your legs again.
Eat your meats. Well, not just meats, but you must eat a complete balanced meal. Your body needs protein to maintain and repair any damaged cell or tissue in your body. The most common source of protein is meat. If you do not like eating meat, fish or soy products are also a good source of protein.
Take the bike. When going to school, office or other nearby destinations, use a bike instead of a car. The pedaling action strengthens your thigh muscles due to the contraction and expansion of your muscles. Using a bike is also environmentally friendly and helps to reduce the harmful gases in the atmosphere.

Possibly the Best Lasagna Recipe in the Entire World
Possibly the Best Lasagna Recipe in the Entire World
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes over mediumlow heat, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the sausage and cook over mediumlow heat, breaking it up with a fork, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over mediumlow heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan, the egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
Ladle 1/3 of the sauce into a 9 by 13inch baking dish, spreading the sauce over the bottom of the dish. Then add the layers as follows: half the pasta, half the mozzarella, half the ricotta, and one 1/3 of the sauce. Add the rest of the pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, and finally, sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 3045 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling.
The word lasagna comes from the Greek word lasanon, which means chamber pot. The word eventually evolved to mean cooking pot I dont know that I really want to explore that particular evolution. The Italians originally used the word to mean the dish in which the food was cooked.
Lasagna now refers to both the flat sheets of pasta as well as the yummy, cheesy dish made with those pasta sheets.
Many lasagna recipes can be made without precooking the noodles. The moisture and heat from the other ingredients will cook the noodles as the dish bakes.

How To Keep Bats Out of Your House
How To Keep Bats Out of Your House
Live near a wetland or river? Then chances are your home will attract bats, particularly if the home is older, has an open chimney or attic vents. Now bats in your yard are a wonderful thing: A single bat will eat her entire weight in insects in one evening. Bats are a safe, natural environmentally friendly insecticide. We live on a river, yet we enjoy bugfree evenings all summer long.
Bats in your home present a problem, however. While bats do not often bite and are rarely rabid, they are carriers of rabies. Pets, cats in particular, are in special danger from bats; your pets will chase the bats and naturally the bat will bite. One of our cats once caught a bat in midair. He scooped the bat out of the air and put the bat in his mouth, all in one incredibly fast movement. Thankfully, he was not bitten, but he easily could have been. Also, bat feces or guano is quite toxic.
To prevent bats from roosting in your attic, you need to check several things. Bats are a species protected by the Environmental Protection Agency EPA so an exterminator will not put down any form of chemical to prevent bats from roosting. When we discovered that a roost of bats were tenanting our attic, we made calls to several exterminators and environmental and wildlife organizations. We were given this advice.
Stake out the perimeter of your house.
Sit outside, one person on each side of the house in the evening before dusk. Being nocturnal, bats go out in the evening, just before dark.
Watch when dusk falls to see if bats are exiting your house and identify where they exit your house.
Place screens over attic vents. Dont not seal them completely; attic vents are necessary to keep the attic from accumulating toxic furnace gases such as carbon monoxide.
Place a screen over the chimney, especially if it unused. Newer homes have narrow PVC tubes to vent the furnace; if your furnace has been replaced, your unused chimney will be a perfect access way for bats.
Seal up any gaps in windows, siding, ceiling tiles or walls. Use caulk or silicone to seal up cracks in walls. Bats can enter and exit through cracks no wider than one half an inch.
Place a substance with an unpleasant fragrance in your attic. Choose something nontoxic. Strong mint, menthol or eucalyptus is a scent many animals do not like. Dont use sugary mint or youll have ants next. We prefer to use Vicks VapoRub. These smells are entirely harmless to bats and pets, but they are very annoying and effective in keeping them away.
Some people recommend placing mothballs in the attic, but mothballs are really a very strong smelling toxin. Mothballs are made either from naphthalene, more commonly known as naphtha, and the other is paraDichlorobenzene, which is a form of benzene a poison that was used for removing stains. Do not use mothballs to prevent bats from nesting. The fumes cause breathing problems and are particularly harmful for children and pets.
If you have bats in your area, let them do their job and keep the insect population down. But be sure to keep them out of the house. For more information on what to do should a bat make it into your house, read How To Get a Bat Out of Your House.

Organization Design Models
Organization Design Models
Deming advocates the use of statistics to control quality by measuring waste and defects in manufacturing. The maintenance of formal procedures is a prerequisite to certification under various quality codes. It goes further than Taylor because computing power simplifies the gathering and processing of data to measure performance against predetermined standards and against a workers peers. As systems become quicker, cleverer and cheaper the use of computing for this area of control must increase Drucker also suggests that it is only Taylorism that has consistently raised the real level of manual workers wages. Superior service requires all employees to be mindful of customer needs, to bring them to the attention of management and be encouraged to suggest improvements.
This alters the premise that managers think and workers do. The creation of learning organizations recognizes this and Argyris cites a number of examples where bad practices were allowed to perpetuate because old barriers were difficult to break down. Peters and Waterman urge organizations to become smaller and innovate to achieve excellence and survive. Innovation requires organizations to become less risk adverse. Kotter seizes upon this point and believes that managers need to become leaders.
Organizations should become nurseries for potential leaders. While both Peters and Kotter advocate this change neither deny the need to fulfill Fayols eight functions nor suggest how an organization may survive without them.
One effect of globalization is the creation of multinational organizations, which operate through numbers of subsidiaries in different countries. This process is assisted by the use of IT, which creates a virtual supply chain stimulating innovative activity in smaller companies. However, these conglomerates still need to plan, forecast, direct, procure and allocate resources and especially master the difficulties of control, raising the perennial difficulties of centralization and decentralization. In turn, this suggests bureaucracy will not wither away. The practices of quality, organizational learning and the encouragement of leadership are based upon the empowerment of employees. Empowerment requires employees to continually develop and train themselves, with and without the help, of their employers. He should lead to the self actualized individuals envisaged by Maslow.

Iceberg Lake Topo Map
Iceberg Lake Topo Map
A beautiful lake in a spectacular settings with mountain goats, grizzly bears, and lots of humans. More people see grizzly bears along the Iceberg Lake Trail than any other hiking route in this book, partially due to the high concentration of relatively unafraid grizzlies in the Many Glacier Valley. Be extra careful to make noise and stay on the trail. Because of the high bear population, no overnight camping is allowed at Iceberg Lake. Technically, Iceberg Lake does not have icebergs, but it comes as close as any place in Montana. Chunks of ice float around in the lake, usually until September, but the icebergs are larger and more scenic in July and August. Except for a short section at the very beginning, this trail climbs only 200 feet per mile, a rate most people find comfortable. Wide and relatively smooth, the trail leads through fields of wildflowers. Large flickers with pronounced reddish coloring and swooping flight patterns nest in the ghost trees along the trail. On the last segment of this hike, mountain goats and bighorn sheep are commonly seen on the grassy slopes above and to the right.
St. One of Montanas best hikes, Iceberg Lake is located near St. Mary, MT. Trails printable online topo maps offer shaded and unshaded reliefs, and aerial photos too! Use topographic map functionality to find elevation, print high resolution maps, save a PNG, or just learn the topography around Iceberg Lake. You can also get free latitude and longitude coordinates from the topographical map and set your GPS. Subscribers with access to our maps can download or print any topo, and cover more terrain when you map your Iceberg Lake route ahead of time.

How To Write Wedding Thank You Cards
How To Write Wedding Thank You Cards
Admit it. One of the best parts about getting marriedbesides making an official, lifelong commitment to your soul mateis racking in the wedding gifts. Even better, if youve opened a bridal registry online or at your local department store, youre receiving items youve specifically chosen for yourself. Score!
Of course, for every wedding present that lands on your doorstop, you need to send a handwritten note of thanks to the generous giftgiver. For wedding presents, a quick email, a phone call or computergenerated letter is not going to cut it. Your best friend, your coworker and your Great Aunt Edna took the time to purchase a giftor give you cashto mark your nuptials, so the least you can do is handwrite a thankyou note, address an envelope, stick a stamp on it and send it on its merry way.
Keep track of all gifts received. Theres so much to remember in the weeks prior to a wedding ceremony, celebratory reception and honeymoon. Did you write your vows? Whos picking up the flowers? Wheres our hotel confirmation? With all the thoughts cluttering your brain, its extra important to keep a written record of gifts youve received. Whether its by notebook and pen, a Microsoft Word list or an Excel spreadsheet, take the time to jot down who sent what and when. As you write a thankyou note, youll mark that next to each entry to keep track of whom youve already thanked.
When I got married, I used an Excel spreadsheet to record the proper names and addresses for all the people I invited to my wedding. I added a column for yay or nay once I received their RSVP cards to mark whether or not they were attending. Then I added a column to list any gift they sent, and another for whether or not Id sent a thankyou note. Each persons mailing address was already on my master list, so addressing an envelope for a thankyou card was easy.
Invest in some nice stationery. Sure, you could go down to the dollar store and pick up some cheap wedding thank you cards, but since youre only getting married once you hope!, why not purchase some quality cards to do the job? Classy note cards and the perfect, highquality pen might even make the task more inviting. You may be able to order matching thankyou cards when you purchase wedding invitations. This is a nice touch, but not necessary. Thank you cards can look expensive, without costing you very much. Consider shopping at places such as Target, Walmart, Costco, Shutterfly, Snapfish, or other online thank you card retailers. If you purchase a large quantity, the price will generally be less expensive.
Keep it brief. You dont need to write an epic letter espousing the virtues of the gorgeous glass vase your cousin sent you. In fact, each thankyou note only needs to be a few lines. If you make each note longer than it has to be, youll quickly run out of enthusiasm for the task.
Try to write notes as the packages come in. If you have the time, write a note and mail it soon after you receive a gift. Facing dozens of blank thankyou cards after you come home from your honeymoon can be daunting.
Start each note with a heartfelt thank you, mentioning the gift by name. For example: Dear Aunt Mary, Thank you so much for the blender.
Follow this with an explanation of how you will use the gift. We cant wait to use it for our breakfast smoothies!
End with a mention of their attending or not your wedding. It was such a treat to visit with you at our wedding reception. Were so glad you were able to make the drive from California. Or, if the gift was received before your wedding date: We look forward to seeing you at our wedding celebration next month. Or, if she couldnt attend: Were sorry you werent able to attend our wedding ceremony; Sarah said shed share some photos she snapped when she sees you next month. You can also view them online at http://www.
Wrap up with another thank you. Again, we really appreciate your thoughtful gift. Love, John and Sue.
If the gift is money, let the giftgiver know what you might do with the cash. Dear Grandpa, Thank you so much for the generous gift of money you sent us for our wedding. It will certainly come in handy as we renovate our new house. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness. Love, John and Sue.
If youre not sure what the gift is, its okay to be vaguebut only as a last resort. Maybe you received a decorative object that might be a fruit bowl? A wall hanging? An ancient African artifact? Seek advice from others as to what the gifts purpose ismaybe even search the Internet if you have any clues from the packaging. But if youre really not sure what the item is, I think it would be insulting to ask the giftgiver directly for an explanation. In that case, the cards wording could be on the generic side: Dear Uncle Bill, Thank you so much for the wedding present. We really appreciate your generosity. It was wonderful to see you at the wedding receptionwe look forward to visiting with you again at the family reunion this summer. Love, John and Sue.
Split the duties. Finally, to keep the notewriting task from becoming overwhelming, split the job between you and your new spouse. If you take turns writing, your thankyou notes will be mailed in no time!
Writing thank you notes for your wedding gifts may seem daunting, but just remember how thoughtful it was of your family member or friend to make this purchase in celebration of your marriage. Since gifts arent generally opened at the reception, this is also a nice gesture to acknowledge that you received the present. Its time to get motivated! Pull out your list of gifts and your stationary. Start recalling the happy memories you have of that person and your wedding day. Feel thankful as you write your cards. Your sincerity will come through when the recipient reads your heartfelt comments.

Since gifts arent generally opened at the reception, this is also a nice gesture to acknowledge that you received the present. Its time to get motivated! Pull out your list of gifts and your stationary. Start recalling the happy memories you have of that person and your wedding day. Feel thankful as you write your cards. Your sincerity will come through when the recipient reads your heartfelt comments.

htaccess For Beginners and Non
htaccess For Beginners and Non
If you anything like me, code is a scary thing. I not a tech type person, and it not because I can do it. I just don have the time and opportunity at the same time to learn it as thoroughly as many others.
That doesn mean I smart enough to leave it alone, however. Nope. Not me. I dig right in, and if I screw it up which happens more often than not, I fix it and eventually figure out what I doing. Along the way, I managed to learn a bunch of interesting tidbits that will make this tech stuff easier for anyone else just starting out.
Yes, this is a beginner post, but I think fear is the biggest reason why so many people avoid it. They different from country to country, and simply don allow people to just do what they want. With the right code, you can do neat things like redirect from one address to another, ensure that the www portion of a URL is used instead of the nonwww address, and even prevent people from accessing the information on your server.
It found in the root of your server and looks really scary once you get it opened up, but notepad or text editor makes it much more manageable. There a few things you need to know before you start monkeying with things, however:
It ok to screw things up and play with things you know nothing about, but be smart about it. Don use them unless you bored and can find any other solutions ie the plugin conflicts with something else, there is no other way around it for your CMS
This stuff works only in Apache Web Server on Linux/Unix and Window OS. Use them with the wrong software, and you figure it out pretty quickly. Code looks strange, but the code you add will look REALLY strange and cause all sorts of bad things to happen.
Contrary to what many of us nontechs believe when we get started, code isn exactly copy and paste. And so on let you figure out the rest. We make it a game. It be fun!
Once you get good at playing with this stuff, you can tweak the code to cloak pages and do all sorts of cool stuff.
Don be afraid to try different things.
When you done playing with it, show it to someone you can trust who knows what they doing. If that you, try code like this below:Redirect All Except Specific IPs
Cloaking and other techniques usually work via IPs. If you want to serve up different pages for different people ex. People in your company see a different page than people outside your company., try:If you like to allow everyone except certain people, switch deny and allow. This works great for creating a list when you getting a large number of spam hits from a specific IP range. Oh, and speaking from experience: DON put your own IP in that list! Don ask on a Screw Up, You Missed a Redirect, Or Someone Did Something They Weren Supposed To
We all try really hard not to make mistakes, but it happens. If we going to make a mistake, however, we may as well do it with style. Customer error pages, that is. Here how to serve up:
And yes, you need to make the page and name it the right thing, or change the filename in the code.
When All Else Fails I want to do something and just can seem find it hidden in this creative brain of mine, I use someone else That right ask someone, or I go digging. Here some links to some great code samples I sure you use at one point or another:

Mahogany Vs Teak Wood
Mahogany Vs Teak Wood
2 Consistency / Grain Mahogany and Teak wood have a alike texture. Teak wood is irregular with prosperous figuring whereas mahogany has a crude texture with strip figuring. Teak in general has a straight grain, but is wavy infrequently. Mahogany has straight or interlocked grain.
3 Robustness / Strength The durability of teak is unquestioned for its resistance to any ambiance and antitermite. It is more hardwearing for furniture both in indoor and outdoor while mahogany has its lack for outdoor furniture as it has twisting strength, low rigidity and shock confrontation.
4 Maintenance / Upkeep Teak is quiet uncomplicated to uphold because its weather and termite resistant. If using it indoors you might choose to simply dust it or even oil it to give it a spanking new look. Mahogany can be more monotonous to care for depending on whether it is indoors or outdoors.
5 Usage Teak is for high eminence indoor and outdoor furniture. It is even used for building ships, deck railing and bridge manufacture. Mahogany with its silky grain composition is much enhanced suited for indoor furniture. It has been a wellknown material for aural instrumental.
To conclude, Teak is not an particularly eyecatching timber but it offers very fine weather resistance both in indoors and outdoors. On the converse Mahogany is good for indoors on the whole.

Impression Fraud
Impression Fraud
Impression fraud is a special case of click fraud. The prototypical impression fraudster is the competitor who resorts to unfair means to gain an advantage. His primary motivation is to reduce the ranking of his competitor, and then save himself money by inserting his own ad at a lower rate. Another possible motivation may be a hitandrun operationrandom act of violence. Given the potentially devastating consequences it could have on a persons web site return on marketing investment, it could even be a disgruntled employee.
To illustrate the mechanics and motivation of Lets call this individual Grinch. Assume that Cindy Louour protagonist has an advertisement for Christmas trees running on google ad words. Cindy Lous Pay Per Clickadvertisement has been doing rather well, getting a lot of click throughs. She doesnt have to bid a whole bunch to rank high on the sponsored links because the position is a function of bid price and Click Through Ratio. She is getting decent traffic through her PPC campaign. The traffic is very focused, a large number of visitors end up converting. The trees are moving off the lot and things are shaping up rather fine. Grinch too has an advertisement running. Unfortunately for Grinch, his advertisement is not getting a lot of clicks. In fact, his CTR is so dismal that he has to pay ever increasing sums just to keep it displayed. His ROI is not that great given his higher cost base for the PPC bid. He does not like the fact that Cindys campaign is doing rather well. Not one bit! So he does something devious.
Grinch toggles off his own PPC ads and then does a lot of searches for keywords appropriate to Christmas trees. He searches on google, and asks his friends to search too. Only he never clicks on Cindy Lous ad. He runs his campaign for a few days, and Cindy sees her CTR go down and she is at the bottom of the heap. Its now down to a level where Grinch sees a level playing field and steps in toggling his PPC ad back on. Grinch is suddenly back in business, while Cindy has to keep up somehow. Remember, its almost November and she has to sell off her trees rather soon. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the loss from this activity may well run into thousands of dollars for larger advertisersmaybe when Cindy Lou Trees Inc. goes nationwide.
For impression fraud to be effective it has to happen at relatively high volumesusually accompanied by a traffic spike . The result will be lots and lots of impressions and a very low CTR. Also if its done for competitive reason, Grinch may identify himself if you are really keeping tabs on things because he has to switch his ads on and off. Reporting it to Google immediately will help but will not get you any compensation. Google will still charge you more money for ad placement in a certain position. The impression fraud attack is extremely insidious, because even though the consequences can severely affect the return on investment ROI, Googles policies dont allow refunds to take place. The take home point is that you have to keep tabs on the traffic, including traffic that is not getting to your site. If you are using a web metrics product, ask your vendor if they have the ability to upload your Ad words data into your web metrics account. You have to reconcile the data from what your historical CTR has been to your current CTR, and your costs. If you are inclined to do nothing with this knowledge, do me a favor do not buy this book. On the other hand, if you are ready to take control of your affiliate marketing future, do yourself a favor Buy it Now!

Peachtree Rock Topo Map
Peachtree Rock Topo Map
A visit to a prehistoric rock formations along two short loop trails through varied vegetation. Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve is a 306acre refuge dedicated to the protection of a number of unique sandstone formations and the flora and fauna surrounding them. Peachtree Rock, Little Peachtree Rock, and other interesting formations are the main attractions. However, the flora and fauna are also unique and worth taking time to view. Even though the preserve lies in central South Carolina, many miles from the mountains, mountain laurel flourishes here. Moreover, one plant, the blueberry vine called Rayners blueberry, is found nowhere else but here in Lexington County. The trees are mostly turkey oak and longleaf pine, but others such as mockernut hickory dot the forest. A variety of lizards, including eastern fence lizards, Carolina anoles, and various skinks, scramble underfoot. Birds are somewhat scarce, but pileated woodpeckers, tufted titmice, summer tanagers, and whiteeyed and redeyed vireos can usually be found. One of South Carolinas best hikes, Peachtree Rock is located near Columbia, SC. Trails printable online topo maps offer shaded and unshaded reliefs, and aerial photos too! Use topographic map functionality to find elevation, print high resolution maps, save a PNG, or just learn the topography around Peachtree Rock. You can also get free latitude and longitude coordinates from the topographical map and set your GPS. Subscribers with access to our maps can download or print any topo, and cover more terrain when you map your Peachtree Rock route ahead of time.

Limiting Energy Waste
Limiting Energy Waste
There are so many differing views on the Global Warming cause that after trawling around the Internet in an effort to find an understandable solution, instead of becoming easier it has become even more difficult to understand exactly what is right or wrong. Even eminent scientists appear to be at odds with one another as to what is correct. So what chance does Joe Public stand? Who can we trust?
There is an excellent article on the Hole in Ozone Layer? which questions just that. Again it begs the question who do we trust?
Waste of any kind, particularly waste of energy and food energy seem to be a sensible way of reigning in some of the various theories. This way we will save ourselves money and save some of our planet for future generations.
On the subject of waste, how can any Government that continues to jet around the world, accompanied by numerous members of staff, justify their actions when Video Conferencing exists? At the recent Copenhagen Conference, in addition a total of 1,200 limousines were used by delegates.
When a huge and beautiful conifer tree is felled, transported hundreds of miles to be erected outside the official residence in Downing Street and festooned with hundreds of electric lights consuming power, plus one policeman to guard it how is this justified? After all the tax payer us is paying for this waste.
This same Government then tells the voter to economise by switching off pilot lights and standby lights. Please, where is the intelligence in all of this?
It would seem we are still dwelling under the age old dogma of Dont do as I do, do as I say!
Why does an apparently intelligent BBC presenter on Farming Today refer to farmers as EcoSystem managers? This is education gone mad they really are just the Farmers they have always been.
Said presenter then made reference to the fact that cows pass wind and farmers use water on their crops etc. How does anyone involved in producing food for the nation avoid these events?
Our farmers are engaged in producing food for the people of this country, saving millions of miles in freighting in food from abroad yet the BBC, on the very programme that should be encouraging farmers, is belittling them.

My freelance writing work at Helium covers a broad spectrum, but my concentration is on business, technology, education, computer ethics, and travel, with a strong interest in societal affects of technology and how it touches all facets of life. More recently, I slowly waded into the creative writing waters.
In June 2010 after a long, but terrific journey, I completed my MBA degree with a concentration in technology/information security. Previously I worked in a variety of administrative support roles in the university setting.
Being a member of Helium has given me the opportunity to expand my portfolio and further develop my ability to write for the web. Helium is a great opportunity to grow and Ive learned so much, and still learning every day. There is a lot of wisdom and support shared in the community.
Currently I hail from the Washington DC area with my wonderful family and also love to write about whats to be found in this incredible area. If I dont know the answer, Ill do my best to find out!

Intercept Text Messages
Intercept Text Messages
By nature, suspicious people are the ones that usually want to intercept text messages. There are a couple different ways that they work on doing this as well. One of the most effective ways to do this is with software downloaded right onto the phone. These are designed to work with smart phones because they need the internet connection to work the way they are supposed to. You cannot send data over the web into a separate account if there is no connection available on the phone you are trying to use the software with. There are also different models of phones that some of the programs are most compatible with so you should make sure that everything matches before you pick one.
The reason why the smart phone software works so well is because they have the constant internet connection so that the program can record and send the messages as soon as they are received or sent by the phone they are installed onto. Some of these programs are also designed to record and send all the pictures sent and received by the phone. Some will do the same with videos as well. You will have to search through the different versions of this type of program to find the ones that will work with the phones you have compatible. You will also have to decide which features you want the program to perform and make sure you get the software that allows those functions to happen. You can also choose some that run silently on the phone so that they kids dont know that they are there at all. This is great if you dont want them to be aware of it, and if they dont know its there they cant change the settings or turn it off on you either.
One of the most common types of people that want to intercept text messages is parents. Cell phones have become huge and most kids already have one, or are nagging to get one. Since most of these cellular phones have different ways of communicating, phone calls are not the only thing that you need to worry about. Texting has become huge, and in some instances it has also become a problem. In most cases, once the message has been deleted off the phone it is gone forever.
More parents are looking at intercepting text messages because they want to be aware of exactly what their kids are doing with the phones that they have..
By nature, suspicious people are the ones that usually want to intercept text messages. There are a couple different ways that they work on doing this as well. One of the most effective ways to do this is with software downloaded right onto the phone. These are designed to work with smart phones because they need the internet connection to work the way they are supposed to. You cannot send data over the web into a separate account if there is no connection available on the phone you are trying to use the software with. There are also different models of phones that some of the programs are most compatible with so you should make sure that everything matches before you pick one.
The reason why the smart phone software works so well is because they have the constant internet connection so that the program can record and send the messages as soon as they are received or sent by the phone they are installed onto. Some of these programs are also designed to record and send all the pictures sent and received by the phone. Some will do the same with videos as well. You will have to search through the different versions of this type of program to find the ones that will work with the phones you have compatible. You will also have to decide which features you want the program to perform and make sure you get the software that allows those functions to happen. You can also choose some that run silently on the phone so that they kids dont know that they are there at all. This is great if you dont want them to be aware of it, and if they dont know its there they cant change the settings or turn it off on you either.
One of the most common types of people that want to intercept text messages is parents. Cell phones have become huge and most kids already have one, or are nagging to get one. Since most of these cellular phones have different ways of communicating, phone calls are not the only thing that you need to worry about. Texting has become huge, and in some instances it has also become a problem. In most cases, once the message has been deleted off the phone it is gone forever.

Mowing Safety
Mowing Safety
When mowing your lawn, there are several important safety precautions to keep in mind at all times. Lawn mowers make lawn and garden maintenance worlds easier, and it is often easy to forget that there are sharp, whirling blades underneath them. There are a significant number of mowing accidents each year, but with a little care, they can be easily avoided.
Safety Tips for Lawn Mowers
The first thing to remember is never to remove or modify the guards in place on your mower. The guards are there for your protection, and removing them is very illadvised. Being able to mow four inches closer to your house is not worth sacrificing your safety, and the blades can damage your property, too.
The second thing to remember is that you should only attempt to service a lawn mower when it is off. Never reach beneath a running mower for any reason, and only perform minor servicing by yourself. If your lawn mower blades need tightening, sharpening, or other repairs, consult a professional to make sure that everything is repaired properly and replaced safely.
Finally, check your lawn for debris before you mow. This might seem unnecessary, but if a mower blade hits a rock, it can send the item flying. The same is true for gravel, glass, and anything else that might be out in the yard. Objects ejected from lawn mowers in this fashion can easily break windows, puncture skin, and cause serious eye or face injury. It is often wise to rake your lawn lightly before mowing to avoid these kinds of accidents.

Interesting seiyuu choices for the lead girls. Azunyans seiyuu. Riko is voiced by Yuiko Tatsumi, who has done basically jack squat outside of this. Her only only roles have been a random student in KOn, some presumably minor character I dont remember from SoreKake Girl, and a few incidental roles in ChuBra. Oh, and they both played the same characters in the OVA version of this, which appears to have been the debut role for both of them, assuming they hadnt done some other earlier roles under different names.
I dont remember Mikazyuki, the blond twintailed girl from the OVAs, or any of the other girls from Keitas school, but thats to be expected, since the OVAs, with their much more limited time and limited scope, would have to cut most of the side characters. While my memory of the OVAs are vague, this episode was pretty much what I was expecting, aside from a few new characters and the stuff at the school happening in the field. I think they actually went into his classroom in the OVA and something else happened there; but since that might happen in another episode, I probably shouldnt say what it was at this point.
Im partial to Riko the quieter one with the bandaid on her face, for those having trouble remembering which is which, but I like them both. You gotta love how their parents are basically telling them its okay to go ahead and fuck like rabbits since they arent blood related. I hate, hate, hate the not blood related copout, but pseudoincest is the next best thing to actual sibling incest and the way this show treats it makes it more bearable.

Interesting facts about Chlorine
Interesting facts about Chlorine
Chlorine is a toxic, corrosive, greenish yellow gas that is irritating to the eyes and respiratory system; it is two and a half times heavier than air. It becomes a liquid at 34 C 29 F. First prepared from hydrochloric acid and manganese dioxide in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, it was considered a compound until Sir Humphry Davy showed 1810 that it cannot be decomposed and that muriatic hydrochloric acid consists of hydrogen and another true element that he named chlorine.
Chlorine constitutes about 0.013 percent of the Earths crust. Chlorine, as the chloride ion Cl, is the main negative ion in ocean water 1.9 percent by weight and in inland seas such as the Caspian Sea, the Dead Sea, and the Great Salt Lake of Utah; it is found in evaporite minerals, for example, combined with sodium, as rock salt halite and in the minerals chlorapatite and sodalite. Natural chlorine is a mixture of two stable isotopes: chlorine35 75.53 percent and chlorine37 24.47 percent. The Chloride ion is present in the body fluids of higher animals and as hydrochloric acid in the digestive secretions of the stomach.
Chlorine gas, a poison, was the first gas used in chemical warfare in World War I. It causes suffocation, constriction of the chest, tightness in the throat, and edema of the lungs. As little as 2.5 mg per litre approximately 0.085 percent by volume in the atmosphere causes death in minutes, but less than 0.0001 percent by volume may be tolerated for several hours. Its strong odour gives warning of its presence at much lower concentrations than are dangerous.
Most chlorine is industrially produced by the electrolysis of brine; some is also obtained as a byproduct in the manufacture of sodium metal by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. Chlorine and its compounds are used extensively for bleaching in the paper and textile industries, for disinfecting municipal water supplies, for household bleaches and germicides, and for the production of many organic and inorganic chemicals.

Nonstick Scanpan Cookware
Nonstick Scanpan Cookware
Nonstick Scanpan cookware has a reputation for producing great food, in addition to being durable and easy to use. It is the choice of many professional chefs, and for good reasona lot of thought goes into the design and production of all nonstick Scanpan cookware. Lets take a look at what makes this line of products so unique as compared to other brands of cookware.
How Nonstick Scanpan Cookware Is Made
Nonstick Scanpan cookware is produced using a patented process involving pressurized titaniumceramic compounds. This might sound complex, but the result of the process is a pan with few imperfections. Because of the advanced production process, these pans are easier to cook with, more durable, and easier to clean.
Scanpan cookware boasts a permanent nonstick layer that is not sprayed on. When the pan is forged, it is left with a craggy surface that is then filled with a patented nonstick material. The nonstick coating falls into the microscopic divots, so when you clean the pan with a brush it is protected from being scraped off.
The intense pressure and temperature used in making Scanpan pots and pans results in a denser, tougher piece of metal that heats evenly and will not warp. In addition, Scanpan cookware is safe to use in up to 500 degrees. This means you can put your pans in the oven without having to worry about ruining them.

Ingalls Creek Topo Map
Ingalls Creek Topo Map
A long backpack up Ingalls Creek to Stuart Pass. Ingalls Creek Trail is one of the longest and loneliest trails in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Few hikers complete the entire trail. Early season hikers go 5 or 6 miles before they are turned back by snow. Late season hikers usually bypass the first dozen miles of the trail, favoring a shortcut into the upper canyon via BeverlyTurnpike or Ingalls Way Trails, which allow quicker access to the best part of the hike. But the lower portion of the trail, though lacking in sublime views, has its own rewards. Wildflowers are everywhere along the trail in early season; fall colors are spectacular. Throw in a few waterfalls and some impressive mountain views, and you have a hike that deserves your attention. One of Washingtons best hikes, Ingalls Creek is located near Cle Elum, WA. Trails printable online topo maps offer shaded and unshaded reliefs, and aerial photos too! Use topographic map functionality to find elevation, print high resolution maps, save a PNG, or just learn the topography around Ingalls Creek. You can also get free latitude and longitude coordinates from the topographical map and set your GPS. Subscribers with access to our maps can download or print any topo, and cover more terrain when you map your Ingalls Creek route ahead of time.

iPod Click Wheel
iPod Click Wheel
The Click Wheel is a touchsensitive ring that you use to navigate through all of iPods menus and control all of its features. It provides two ways to input commands: by sliding your finger around the wheel and by pressing buttons located under and in the middle of the wheel.
Under the plastic surface of the Click Wheel, there are four mechanical buttons Menu, back, forward, play/pause, and theres one button in the center select.
Youve got five buttons and five corresponding contacts on the motherboard. When you press, say, the right side of the wheel while youre listening to a song, the wheel pushes down the forward button. The underside of each rubber button is metal, so pressing it completes the corresponding circuit on the motherboard. The motherboard tells the processor this circuit is complete, and the processor tells the operating system to fastforward through the song.
The Click Wheels touchsensitive function lets you move through lists, adjust volume and fast forward through a song by moving your finger around the stationary wheel. It works a lot like a laptop touchpad. In fact, the company that supplied the Click Wheel for the 4G iPod was Synaptics, most widely known for making laptop touchpads. For the 5G, Apple created its own proprietary Click Wheel design based on the same capacitive sensing principle as the previous Synapticsdesigned Click Wheel.
Under the plastic cover of the Click Wheel, there is a membrane embedded with metallic channels. Where the channels intersect, a positional address is created, like coordinates on a graph.
At its most basic, a capacitivesensing system works like this: The system controller supplies an electrical current to the grid. The metal channels that form the grid are conductors they conduct electricity. When another conductor say, your finger gets close to the grid, the current wants to flow to your finger to complete the circuit. But theres a piece of nonconductive plastic in the way the Click Wheel cover. So the charge builds up at the point of the grid thats closest to your finger. This buildup of an electrical charge between two conductors is called capacitance. The closer the two conductors are without touching, the greater the capacitance.
The sensing part of the system comes in with the controller. The Click Wheel controller see above is programmed to measure changes in capacitance. The greater the change in capacitance at any given point, the closer your finger must be to that point. When the controller detects a certain change in capacitance, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. As you move your finger around the wheel, the charge buildup moves around the wheel with it. Every time the controller senses capacitance at a given point, it sends a signal. Thats how the Click Wheel can detect speed of motion the faster you move your finger around the wheel, the more compacted the stream of signals it sends out. And as the microprocessor receives the signals, it performs the corresponding action increasing the volume, for instance. When your finger stops moving around the wheel, the controller stops detecting changes in capacitance and stops sending signals, and the microprocessor stops increasing the volume.
Now, in discussing the workings of the Click Wheel, a particularly curious HowStuffWorks staffer raised the following question: If your finger controls the Click Wheel because your finger is a conductor, why cant you control the Click Wheel with a paper clip?
While we scratched our heads, we embarked on a experiment.
Now that weve checked out the iPod hardware, lets take a look at the software its supporting.
Experiment: How About an Apple?
What can you use to control the touchsensitive Click Wheel? Heres an abbreviated list of what we tested:
Finger: YesOrange: YesApple: YesPlastic pen cap: NoSilly Putty: NoPaper clip: NoTip of Cold Heat soldering tool: NoProngs from iPod charger: NoThe yesses are easily explainable fruit and flesh can conduct electricity. The nos, however, are a bit more mysterious. The pen cap and the Silly Putty are not conductors, end of story. But what about the tip of the soldering tool, the paper clip and the charger prongs? Those are conductors! To solve this riddle, we contacted an expert in the electronics field, who recommended the following action: Wrap your finger in aluminum foil and try to work the Scroll Wheel. Our expert was thinking surface area. This fingerwrappedinfoil input worked perfectly.
Can it be that the surface area of the paper clip is not enough to trigger the conductive grid? To investigate this hypothesis, we tried to work the Scroll Wheel using the blunt end of a dinner knife approx. 0.75 in x 0.5 in. It worked. We concluded thatsurface area matters.
But theres another factor, too, because holding the dinner knife between two plastic pens and moving it around the Scroll Wheeldoesnt work. Same with the apple and the orange. You need to be touching the knife or the orange in order for the Scroll Wheel to detect it. The determining factor, then, is you the human body is a very big conductor, providing a very big neutral area for a charge to jump to. The charge difference between your body and the Click Wheels electrodes provides the voltage or electrical pressure that activates the Click Wheel system.
The Click Wheel is a touchsensitive ring that you use to navigate through all of iPods menus and control all of its features. It provides two ways to input commands: by sliding your finger around the wheel and by pressing buttons located under and in the middle of the wheel.
Under the plastic surface of the Click Wheel, there are four mechanical buttons Menu, back, forward, play/pause, and theres one button in the center select.
Youve got five buttons and five corresponding contacts on the motherboard. When you press, say, the right side of the wheel while youre listening to a song, the wheel pushes down the forward button. The underside of each rubber button is metal, so pressing it completes the corresponding circuit on the motherboard. The motherboard tells the processor this circuit is complete, and the processor tells the operating system to fastforward through the song.

Judging People From Appearance
Judging People From Appearance
The amount of clothes people have does not matter in the slightest. However, it is easy to judge a woman based on the amount of quality clothes in her wardrobe. Linen clothes do not make an exception as linen is one of the most ecological of all existing materials.
Lithuania has a very old flax cultivation tradition. Flax is closely associated with women here, to the extent that flax used to be called the womens plant and womens existence was closely related to that of flax. Women used to spin flax, weave linen and use it for a good many household chores. They used to die linen with all sorts of natural colours using cherry leaves to produce blue, flax flowers to produce red and apple tree skin to produce green.
The role of women as artists should not be underestimated either. They all wore self made linen clothes that reflected their spiritual and creative visions. The bed covers, table cloths, and towels exhibited at contemporary ethnographical museums continue to fascinate us by the impressive techniques used to make them as well as artistic qualities such as the subtle harmony of ornaments and colours.
One should not believe that linen clothes are worn only where the material itself is produced. Having long spread all over the world and valued for its hygienic qualities, linen is more and more widely used by clothes producers. Today one has a choice between original designer models and mass produced trousers, skirts and tunics. Many think that linen clothes can only be worn in summer. Contemporary technologies allow for the production of mixed materials, such as especially highly valued combination of wool and linen. Linen makes it resistant and wool makes it warm. Trousers or suits made of this material are perfectly suitable to wear in winter too.
Every time you think of treating yourself to a new piece of clothing, remember that it is not the quantity, but the quality that matters. Dont forget, you are first judged by your appearance

Japanese Kanji Tattoos
Japanese Kanji Tattoos
Kanji This is the alphabet which we commonly think of when looking for Japanese Kanji Tattoos. A Kanji, is typically a symbol for something either a whole object or an entire meaning. In some cases Kanji cannot always be read directly as a symbol and sometimes has to be combined with other Kanji to make a sentence.
Hiragana This is the second alphabet commonly used for Japanese. A Hiragana symbol represents a sound, much like the English alphabet. So for example, the word mountain may be 4 hiragana symbols, however it may be only 1 Kanji symbol. Basically, you can join Hiragana characters to make a word.
Katakana This is a similar alphabet to Hiragana. It has the same sounds as Hiragana but has different symbols. This alphabet is used for foreign words that were not originally part of the Japanese language. Typically western style names are written in katakana.
T he most important part of the process is choosing the right symbol or phrase. Kanji symbols are ideographic characters, which means each Kanji symbol commonly represents an ENTIRE object, idea or meaning. With Kanji style characters, it is very easy to create and express any meaning you desire!
You will see many tattoo shops offering Japanese Kanji tattoos, unfortunately many of these characters have been altered and are written incorrectly. Unless you have a native Japanese person with you on your visit to the

Ipod gb
Ipod 8gb
Apples iPod forever changed the world of music. It solidified the MP3s triumph over compact discs and set the style trend for all portable music players. The scroll wheel, for instance, is becoming an acrosstheboard standard. Part of the excitement comes from never knowing what to expect next. Apple continuously reinvents the iPod, offering it in different shapes, sizes and colours.
Of the iPods many incarnations, the iPod 8gb nano has remained one of the most popular. In designing the nano, Apple took the classic iPod and shrunk it down until it was a mere 1.41 ounces and 0.26 of an inch thin. The nanos slight size is deceptive. At 8gb, it can hold around 2000 songs. Its a fullyfeatured iPod, just in a much smaller package. The price tag is also smaller, with the nano being one of the most affordable iPods on the market.
Since its release in 2005, the nano has undergone numerous changes. The third generation iPod was given a very different shape, with a body that is shorter and wider than the original. The change in shape was made to accommodate a new 2.5 inch screen for games and videos.
The nanochromatic is the latest version of Apples iPod nano. Made from aluminum and glass, the nanochromatic has an allnew curved design. It comes in nine colours, including pink, blue, green, yellow and orange. The nanochromatic marks a return to the long and skinny shape of the first generation nanos.
This latest addition to the iPod 8gb family is packed with new features. The Genius feature, for example, creates playlists for you by selecting songs from your library that go well together. With the shake to shuffle mode, your iPod will choose a song for you each time you give it a little shake. This motionsensitive technology is also incorporated into some of the games available for the iPod nano. Tilt the nano to its side and you can look at your pictures in landscape view.
The Apple iPod touch is another member of the iPod 8gb family. The iPod touch features the same touch screen interface as the iPhone. Apple gave it a 3.5 inch screen to complement its WiFi capabilities and make surfing the web via the iPod touch easier on the eyes. In addition to downloading and listening to music, users can check their email and watch videos on the iPod touch.

work compensation
work compensation
Our incentive program for hourly employees is graduated. If they hit X production, they receive $.50 per hour, up to $2.00 an hour for the best performance. This works great for us, as the employees bought in to the whole process and were able to very specifically relate their performance to their bonus amounts. I would suggest the concept of a graduated system, which seemed to better motivate them to improve their performance and reach the highest amounts.
The payroll part is fairly straightforward. Incentives are given on a quarterly basis. Its pretty simple to total their hours for 12 weeks, and figure the amounts they are due.
The only advice I can give you is that you need to keep making the presentation of the incentives a big deal every quarter. After a few years, its become kind of hohum around here when they just get $1.00 for every hour they worked.

I understand wanting to reward attendance, but to you really want to incentive it? If youd got a super sick person who definitely shouldnt be at work, but knows that if he doesnt come in not only does he lose his days pay but $0.35 for every hour hes already worked assuming perfect attendance already, hes going to come in, make everyone else sick, and really reduce production.
I wouldnt make it an allornothing thing. For example, if they hit 97.5% attendance averaging 1 sick day per 2 months, they get rewarded at the max level. If they hit 95%, they get rewarded at a lower level. That sort of thing.
posted by cgg at 7:50 AM on February 24, 2009
I dont see why you have to make it affect their hourly pay. Why not make it a bonus amount paid at the end of each quarter or whenever, and the bonus is $x hours_worked? Then its just a variable amount bonus, which is pretty common.

Wicker Furniture For Sunrooms
Wicker Furniture For Sunrooms
Wicker sunroom furniture can help to enhance the beauty and relaxation of your sunroom. There are many different pieces that you can choose from to create the feel that you want.
Sunrooms just seem to call for wicker sunroom furniture. This room has been the ideal setting for wicker furniture for many years, due to its durability and wide range of colors available. Wicker sunroom furniture helps to add to that feeling of openness and airiness that a sunroom has and it can make your room feel more tropical and beachy. You can imagine that you are in a tropical location when you are relaxing in your wicker sunroom furniture. The good news is that there are more furniture options than the ordinary wicker loveseat and chair set. From furniture to accessories, you will be amazed at what you can find to use in your sunroom.
Even during Biblical times, wicker was a material that was used for tools and other creations. Wicker was first used to make tools that were used in daily tasks, such as building shelter and/or fishing. As trading became more widespread, more and more people began building things with it, including furniture and other accessories. It was popular to build with, because it was inexpensive, but able to hold up well to wear and tear. Wicker can describe many different materials now, including bamboo, reads, willow, rattan, and peelcane. These materials are woven into strong shapes and patterns to make furniture and other items.
When searching for wicker sunroom furniture, you will find that there are many different pieces that you can choose from. Sets are the most common wicker sunroom furniture that is sold and these sets include a sofa or loveseat, along with lone or more chairs and maybe even a table. There are other pieces that you can choose from, too, including loungers, rockers, wing chairs, swings, and ottomans. All of these pieces can help to make your sunroom more relaxing to be in. There are accessories that you can purchase, as well, that are made of wicker. These include baskets, wall hangings, pot stands, end tables, mats, and fans. All of these items will help to enhance your tropical or beachy feel.

What causes different sweet smelling urine
What causes different sweet smelling urine
Answer Causes of Sweet Smell in Urine
There are various causes of sweet smell in the urine. Most are transient and due to metabolizing various foods. Sometimes strong odor is due to highly concentrated urine when one hasnt consumed enough water, easily fixed. Another cause is sweet smell due to uncontrolled diabetes melitus, which can be determined through urinalysis evaluated by a physician.
There is a rare metabolic disease called Mapple Syrup Urine Disease , as the smell is like slightly burnt sugar or for people who have actually smelt mapple syrup, that is apparently what the urine smell is similar to. The incidence of this illness is around one in 200.000 births, with the exception of a small intermarrying community of Northern European descent in the USA where the incidence is much higher. This neurological condition effects infants and children and would not present in adults.
MSUD, as it is known, is a condition where the body cant deal with substances called branched aminoacids. One of these, called leucine is toxic, in particular to the brain. There are various types of the disease, symptoms range from brain disfunction and death in the newborn period to very mild indeed. Many children will have mental retardation, even if their MSUD is discovered early and the metabolic doctors that care for them put them on the special protective diet at a very young age.
Some very fortunate children are known to have normal intelligence, this requires very good metabolic control throughout their lifetime.
Other causes of sweet smell in the urine are very rare indeed. One should have a talk with a doctor who specialises in metabolic medicine if one is concerned that urine smells very different to the usual. The tests to find out what is wrong and the methods to fix the problem are very complex.

Sometimes strong odor is due to highly concentrated urine when one hasnt consumed enough water, easily fixed. Another cause is sweet smell due to uncontrolled diabetes melitus, which can be determined through urinalysis evaluated by a physician.
There is a rare metabolic disease called Mapple Syrup Urine Disease , as the smell is like slightly burnt sugar or for people who have actually smelt mapple syrup, that is apparently what the urine smell is similar to. The incidence of this illness is around one in 200.000 births, with the exception of a small intermarrying community of Northern European descent in the USA where the incidence is much higher. This neurological condition effects infants and children and would not present in adults.
MSUD, as it is known, is a condition where the body cant deal with substances called branched aminoacids. One of these, called leucine is toxic, in particular to the brain. There are various types of the disease, symptoms range from brain disfunction and death in the newborn period to very mild indeed. Many children will have mental retardation, even if their MSUD is discovered early and the metabolic doctors that care for them put them on the special protective diet at a very young age.
Some very fortunate children are known to have normal intelligence, this requires very good metabolic control throughout their lifetime.
Other causes of sweet smell in the urine are very rare indeed. One should have a talk with a doctor who specialises in metabolic medicine if one is concerned that urine smells very different to the usual. The tests to find out what is wrong and the methods to fix the problem are very complex.
