If there was ever an industry to get into, Information Technology must be it. The opportunities abound for earning a lucrative living and now is the time to get on board.
But how? If you have computer skill but no experience (or qualifications), the employment agencies will tell you the same old line, "You need experience before anyone will look at you."
It's just plain old Catch-22. You need the work to get the experience but you can't get that first job to give you a track record and therefore verifiable exp
rience. With this logic, it amazes me that anyone actually gets into IT!
Qualifications help but even that is no guarantee nowadays of getting an IT job. And what do you do when you don't have qualifications but you want to start now? I mean right now, not 3 months later after you've paid a fortune for certification and given up your job to have enough study time.
All is not lost. You have two alternatives.
#1. Offer your services free of charge
For a company to take on - as an employee - someone with no experience is a risky proposition. But all companies need IT help. Therefore, do the following:
a) Make a list of 10 local small businesses with approximately 5 to 10 employees. This size of business is too small to have a permanent in-house IT manager yet big enough to have need for IT support.
b) Call each with the following script:
"I'm calling about the possibility of working for your company free of charge in exchange for work experience. So, I'd like to speak to the owner about this please. Could you see if they are available?"
This will get the attention of whoever answers the phone as they'll realise it's not just another sales call. You'll have a high chance of getting through to the boss.
c) If you get through to the boss, say…
"I'm approaching you because I want to work for your company free of charge in exchange for work experience and a good reference. My area of expertise is in IT. I'm an expert on computer systems and feel sure I can provide some valuable input to your company. And it won't cost you anything. Can we set up a meeting to explore this possibility?"
Get straight to the point as business owners are very busy creatures indeed. Go for a meeting where you have the opportunity to explain in detail how you can help them out. When you explain over the phone, it is much easier for them to terminate the call without hearing your full story.
d) If you fail to get through to the boss, say…
"Can I leave my number so he can call me if interested? The number is 123 456-7899. I am contacting a number of other companies today so the earlier he can contact me the better. Thanks."
Put the pressure on them to respond quickly or forever loose the chance of using you free of charge.
e) When you arrive for your interview, you would have already prepared your resume so the boss can see at a glance what your background is. In addition to that, outline your IT skills and where you think these skills would benefit a company. For example, if you were good at website design and promotion, say…
"I could improve the number of visitors to your website and get them to leave their email for you."
This may then lead into specifics on how you can help that company.
f) If you end up doing some work for that company, keep it to 2 to 4 weeks. You don't want a zero wage forever! After your no-charge stint, offer to provide future support at a reasonably competitive rate. They may be very pleased with what you did for them and there would be good will established because you did it all for free. When they need future IT support the chances of them choosing you are very high indeed. There you go, your first fee paying customer.
#2: Start up on your own
Yes, you heard me. Start your own computer consultancy - it's not as difficult as you might suspect. All you need is to know more than 90% of the population, which is quite easy when most have poor to mediocre computer literacy. In addition, if you have good skills in a specialist area, you are likely to know more than 99% of the population.
There is one factor working in your favour here: fear of computers. This illogical phobia will open doors for you because what is perceived to be extremely complicated may be a walk in the park for you.
While I'm talking about starting up on your own, this need not mean you will always work for yourself. You can do, but you don't have to. The primary aim here is to get a track record, first and foremost. Then you can decide what to do.
Starting up as an IT consultant is a sizeable topic in itself, but that doesn't mean to say it is not easy. You just need the right information.
The important thing to remember is this: don't listen to anyone (and I mean anyone) who says: you need qualifications; experience; capital; contacts or any of that rubbish. It's simply not true. Sure, all these things help but they are not pre-requisites for you to make a blazing success starting on your own. I started my own consultancy from scratch and I had no money, no contacts, no computer consultancy experience, and worse of all, I was heavily in debt.
Nowadays - after 5 years experience - I have contracts that pay me over $200 per hour. This is a far cry from the pitiful wage I used to earn before I got into IT.
What does it take to get into IT by starting up on your own?
Two things: Knowledge and Action.
Action
Action is the easy part. You just do it! Of course, you need the motivation to get going, to overcome your inertia. But once you start seeing the results, you get pulled along by it all. Your results give you the motivation to take action and the action brings more results. You get caught in an upward spiral.
Knowledge
Knowledge is more difficult. The reason is simple: everyone is full of good sounding advice and it's difficult to know who to listen to. After all, if you listened to most people they would put you off starting in the first place. That is self-defeating.
My recommendation is to only listen to those who have been where you want to go. Talking with someone who runs their own business will give you great insight into what it is really like. Talking with someone who has never run their own business will teach you nothing.
Best of all, speak to someone who is in the industry you want to get into. The information will be 100% relevant and therefore quite likely to be effective. Don't take everything they say as the gospel truth. They may want to help you out but will not divulge their closest kept competitive secrets for fear of losing business to you. This particularly applies if you are local to each other and may therefore cannibalise each others area.
How do you get this information? Again, there are many methods, some easier than others. You could phone up a small business (1 to 5 employees) outside of your locality and ask if you can take the boss out for lunch. Be up front that you want to get into the same industry and would like some advice. I had one guy ask if I would help him a few years back. I was happy to and took great pleasure in it. Now, he is earning a very healthy living doing what he enjoys.
The alternative is to buy related books and materials where you can get in-depth information "How to do it" style.
Conclusion
It does not matter whether you have experience or not. If you have some reasonable computer skills and you want to get into IT, you just have to decide to do it. There is so much opportunity in this rapidly changing industry that your chances of success are very high indeed.
Take those vital first steps now!

In accordance with Honda's recommendation, we are one of the few companies to make sure that their NEW Honda Generators are tested (PDI), before they are dispatched. Remove the NEW generator from the box, we start and test it. This is done to give you the confidence that, after receiving your order, you would not encounter any problems.
Control Panel: The NEW Honda Generators are equipped with a "Standard digital/LCD control panel. Included in this control panel are all the controls, safety devices and displays, which are
required for operating it safely. Also displayed on the control panel are certain values or indicators. Illumination of the control panel is provided on almost all models.
Enclosures: Steel panels and locking doors on a modular structural base frame are used to build weather and soundproof enclosures. A rock-wool layer of insulation included in sound enclosures, accomplishes with the sound attenuating elements, and also complies with the prevailing regulations. A hot ambient air extraction fan is an additional element in the enclosures.
Silencers: Industrial type silencers, which are shipped loose, have been included in Open set versions. Likewise, mounted critical type silencers, with a flexible connector, are included in Enclosed versions. The Silencer/Muffler Product Option window helps in selecting Critical silencers, which are optional on open sets and check out.
Fuel Tanks: An economical fuel use of 0.95 gallons at 1/2 load is another feature of the NEW model. On a full tank, the generator can run for over 105.3 hours. Product Options listed at hondageneratorstore also indicate the availability of single walled (non UL) and double walled (UL) tanks. The day tank, which is a normal provision, is removed in case base tanks have been added. To make the generator a complete operable unit, installation, fuel level gage and fuel line piping are included in tank prices. On special request, special tank versions, with stub up voids, can also be made available.
Transfer Switches: In these generator sets, it is the automatic transfer switch that effectively monitors utility and generator power. In the case of failure or unsatisfactory utility power, the generator set is started, the generator speed and voltage output are checked and the load is transferred to the generator set. As soon as utility power gets restored, the transfer switch automatically gets transferred back to utility power.
For optimum results, a transfer switch of either the same size, or a larger one, in amps than the building service or sub-panel should be selected. This has also to be borne in mind in the case of the relation between transfer switch and the maximum output of the generator that you have selected. Different types of fuel are required for running standby generators and portable generators. In some models, tri-fuel or dual-fuel configurations allow them to switch from natural gas or propane to gasoline, with the use of a hose. With this aspect in mind, a consumer should purchase a generator after determining the type of fuel that is available in his area.
There are no two ways about the fact that generator set is a piece of equipment that is worth every penny spent, and that it will easily run the whole house in case of utility power failure.

An article commenting on the technology of the Thirties and Forties as compared to that of the present as related by a person who has lived through both eras and watched technological development.
I continue to marvel at the latest technology: iPods, MP3s, DVDs, HDTV, GPS, Satellite Communications, etc., etc., etc. In the 1930s we were quite thrilled by a radio in a cabinet that might also be holding a clock. I can still see the one my folks bought. It sat on a table in the living room and was ab
e to receive 10 or 15 stations on AM. Radio was pretty new, but it was organized in Networks with names still known today NBC and CBS for example. The cartoon character, Dick Tracy, had a two-way wrist radio and was way ahead of his time. Programming was simple. News in the morning until nine; soap operas during the day; kids programs like Orphan Annie, Jack Armstrong the All-American Boy, and others that came on about 5:00 PM. In the evening we had news and commentary, but after 7: 00 PM came the shows: Kraft Music Hall with Bing Crosby, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Fibber McGee and Molly, and others. They came on weekly and most were a half-hour long. The best ones were programs like Lights Out, The Shadow, and The Lone Ranger. We were pretty happy with these and many others, for with the sound-effects used we could readily imagine locations and action. We participated in what was happening much as one does when reading a book.
Radio technology did advance from the living room eventually. One day 1936 my Mother picked me up at school, and as I got into our 1935 black Ford, 4 door convertible, with leather seats, running boards, white walls and wire wheels, and a spare tire mounted in back continental style, I heard something I'd never heard before. My Mother smiled at me as I realized we now had an after market radio in the car. This was very exciting and forward looking stuff in those days. (Sadly no heater yet). Between that and the new phone we had installed in our apartment, I felt like we were on what was later called, "the cutting edge."
My Dad liked to buy the latest thing including an electric clothes washer with a wringer that was installed in the kitchen. Of course, Mom had to take the wash up one floor to the roof to dry the clothes outside. But the item I remember well was a portable radio he got for Mom. It looked like a piece of tan luggage. It was about 14 inches tall and 12 inches wide and 4 inches deep. The top had a lid that, when opened, revealed a dial and two knobs for volume and station selection. We were pretty excited. It could play when plugged into the wall, but, remember, I said it was portable. The back opened up and revealed a wet cell batter system. Periodically we put distilled water into it and it hummed along. It had good range and played all the stations we liked. Yep, there we were: right at the "cutting edge."

Hey everyone, this is Icarus here with some thought on the new Intel X58 chipset.
The Intel X58 chipset was released during November of 2008, and was released as a successor of X48. Now, the importance here is not just the name itself; this is a direct challenge to all of the computer hardware companies out there that have been making large amounts of money off of nVidia chipset motherboards. Now, how does this effect you, the consumer who has sparked an interest in computer hardware?
Well, here's the thing: the
X58 chipset can run SLI. Yes, I just said that: it can run SLI. For those of you who don't know what SLI is, I will explain it in another article today. For now, I will just say that SLI is a program created by NVidia that allows the computer to run more than one video card at the same time.
Now, why does SLI in the X58 matter so much? Well here's the reason why: it takes away a valuable advantage NVidia chipsets had over Intel chipsets. Traditionally, Intel chipsets were only able to run Crossfire and CrossfireX, or just a single NVidia video card without SLI. NVidia chipsets, on the other hand, can only run NVidia Graphics cards(with the exception of patches for some ATI graphics cards) but can run two in SLI and even three in TriSLI. However, now that the X58 can run NVidia graphics cards(GPU's), more consumers will begin to turn to this chipset.
Now, NVidia loses more than one battle here. One of NVidia chipsets motherboards' main concerns for consumers was the price tag. The fact is, that many NVidia chipset motherboards are more expensive than the Intel chipset motherboards. However, this was justifiable because NVidia still had the SLI and TriSLI advantage over Intel chipsets. Now that the X58 chipset can run NVidia GPU's in SLI, NVidia has lost one advantage, and lots its justification for the price tags. And because most consumers only go as far as running two graphics cards in SLI, NVidia may lose a lot of loyal customers.
However, this does not mean that NVidia will fade away or go bankrupt. X58 chipset motherboards can run two graphics cards in SLI, but it cannot run three graphics cards in SLI. NVidia can; therefore, NVidia still gets to keep the enthusiast market under its arms. Another advantage NVidia still has is its apparent ability to overclock better than Intel chipsets. While this advantage may seem to be mysterious because most consumers do not know why this is so, this is still an advantage that NVidia will hold onto. Therefore, NVidia will still be able to keep most of the consumers who know how to overclock well.

The latest Windows operating systems from Microsoft have a time synchronization service installed by default called 'Windows Time'. The time service allows a Windows network to provide time synchronization of all machines within a domain. This article introduces how to set up the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003operating systems to operate as a NTP time server. The article describes how to modify registry entries to configure the Windows Time Service.
Before modifying any registry entries it is a good idea to backup the registry. In the even of any problems, the registry can then be restored to its former state.
Windows 2000Windows 2000 has an integrated network time synchronization service, installed by default, which can be configured to synchronize to a Time Server. In fact, by changing associated registry settings, the service can act as both a time client and a time server to synchronize other network time clients.
The Windows Time service should be present in the systems service list. The application executable is 'w32time.exe'. The parameter list for time service should be present in the in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersThe Windows 2000 operating system can operate as a time client and synchronize to a time server by setting the parameter 'NTP Server' to the IP address of a Time Server.
By default, the Windows 2000 machine will synchronize to the specified time server every 8 hours, or 3 times a day. This may not be enough to maintain accurate synchronization and can be easily increased. Setting the 'Period' parameter to how many times each day synchronization is required can reduce the period. Setting the 'Period' parameter to 48 will activate synchronization with the time server once every half hour.
The Windows 2000 operating system can also be configured to act as a time server by setting the 'Local NTP' registry setting to '1'.
After changing any of the registry settings for the windows time service, the service must be restarted for the settings to take effect. The time service can be started or stopped from the service control applet in the Administrative Tools menu. The service can also be controlled via the DOS net command using:
'net start w32time' and 'net stop w32time'Windows 2003With Windows 2003, Microsoft has reportedly expanded on the original Windows 2000 time service by providing a true NTP implementation. The Windows 2003 time service, installed by default, can synchronize to a NTP Server. Indeed, by changing registry settings, the time service can act as both a time server and client to synchronize other network clients in the domain.
The 'Windows Time' service should be present in the systems service list. The application executable is 'w32time.exe'. The parameter list for the Windows 2003 time service should be present in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTo configure the Windows 2003 operating system to synchronize to an external time server, edit the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersTypeSet the 'Type' registry entry to 'NTP', which specifies synchronization to a NTP time server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNTPClientSpecialPollIntervalThe 'Special Poll Interval' registry entry defines the period in seconds that the Windows 2003 operating system should poll the time server. A recommended value is 900, which equates to a polling period of every 15 minutes.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeConfigAnnounceFlagsSet the 'Announce Flags' registry entry to 5 indicating a reliable time reference.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeTimeProvidersNTPServerEnabledChanging the 'Enabled' flag to the value 1 enables the NTP Time Server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParametersNtpServerThe 'NTP Server' parameter is used to provide a list of DNS names or IP addresses, separated by a space, of time servers that the Windows 2003 operating system can synchronize to.
TroubleshootingA number of problems may be encountered when setting up the Windows Time Service. Network Time Protocol operates using the UDP protocol over TCP/IP. Therefore, the TCP/IP network protocol must be operational for NTP to operate successfully. Synchronization problems may also arise when NTP attempts to synchronize to an inaccurate timing reference or if network delays are overly excessive.
Synchronizing Network ComponentsIn addition to synchronizing Windows servers and workstations, time servers can also be used to synchronise network components, such as switches, routers and hubs. Any network components that can synchronise to a NTP time server can be pointed to the Windows server to achieve synchronization. In this way the whole network and accompanying components can be accurately synchronized.

On 28 of December a severe Windows security flaw was detected, in all Windows versions from Win98 to WinXP, no fixing patch exists yet. If your computer becomes infected, it can even erase all data on your computer. This letter will help you understand what it is and how YOU can fix it until Microsoft releases a patch.
On 28 of December a severe Windows security flaw, WMF Flaw, was detected, in all Windows versions from Win98 to WinXP, no fixing patch exists yet. Using it, anyone can do any malicious action with your computer,teal or even erase your data.
This article will help you understand what it is and how YOU can fix it until Microsoft releases a patch.
By Washington Post: "Computers can be infected simply by visiting one of the Web sites or viewing an infected image in an e-mail through the preview pane [...] even if users did not click on anything or open any files."
"Microsoft said in a statement yesterday that it is investigating the vulnerability and plans to issue a software patch to fix the problem. The company could not say how soon that patch would be available."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/29/AR2005122901456.htmlHow severe it is: "This vulnerability can be used to install any type of malicious code, not just Trojans and spyware, but also worms, bots or viruses that can cause irreparable damage to computers," said Luis Corrons of Panda Software.
In a security advisory posted on its Web site, Microsoft confirmed the vulnerability and the associated release of exploit code that could compromise PCs, and listed the operating systems at risk. Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, Windows Server 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium can be attacked using the newly-discovered vulnerability...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/912840.mspxBlogAutoPublisher support expert comments on the situation, advising a cure:
"The vulnerability is in the Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine, that is why the exploit affects Windows versions from Win98 to WinXP.
Unlike other security vulnerabilities, this one allows a _data file_ to execute arbitrary code upon it being viewed. In other words, a (picture) data file can contain executable code to "help" Windows display it, and Windows will execute it unquestionably.
Your computer can be infected whenever Windows uses its default image viewer to display certain image types. This means there is a long list of applications that are vulnerable that rely upon the image viewer code. Windows uses this code when previewing images, for example.
What YOU can do right NOW, to secure your computer until a patch from Microsoft is released:
Go to Start > Run, paste there the following line: regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll and press OK.
If everything goes right, you'll see the following message: "DllUnregisterServer in shimgvw.dll succeeded.
"It will disable the problematic dll, forcing all other programs to use their own engines, if exist. Keep in mind that this will disable thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer. One may experience problems with opening any image file after unregistering this dll.
(To reactivate this feature: Start > Run > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll)We will send another update, when the patch from Microsoft is released, with instructions how to apply the patch and re-activate the feature.
"And another important thing: since this is such a serious flaw, you may start getting phishing emails pretending to originate at Microsoft, urging you to do something with your computer, apply some "patches". Don't do it.

This is how I did it:
First of all I needed a Core Results Web Part. You can add a web part to your results page from the Web Parts Gallery or use the SharePoint web part that is automatically added to each search results page.
Next
I had to setup the fields (columns) I wanted to see in the search result. To do so - open the properties of the Core results web part and under the Results Query Options change the Selected Columns xml text. To add a new column you need add this text to the xml before </Columns> tag:
<Column Name="YourColumnName"/>
Save the changes and now you can start to redesign the look and feel of the search results. The fastest way to do this is to use the XML of the search results. To access the XML you need to add this code instead of the XSLT code of the web part in the XSL Editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Save your changes and do a test search. You will get an XML code of the search results. Copy this code and paste it to notepad. Save the file on your desktop and open SharePoint Designer. Connect to one of your SharePoint sites and create a new blank ASPX page. After this go in to the design mode of your page and add a new DataView Web Part. In the Data Source details choose the XML files and add a new XML file. In the new opened window browse to the file you saved before and import it to SharePoint Designer.
Once you perform this operation you'll see your file in the XML files section. Click on this file and press "Show Data".
Now you will be able to design your Data View Web Part however you want, using columns from the Search Results XML file. You will also be able to perform sorting/filtering/grouping on your search results but keep in mind that each function will create results only on the page you are currently using. In other words, if you sort your search results by site title the grouping will group the content of your current search results page.
After you finish designing your page you the only thing left you need to do is copy the entire code from your page, between the tags <XSL> and </XSL>, and paste it to the XSL Editor of the Core Results Web Part. Save your changes and verify that everything works by doing a test search. If you like the look of your search results page you can delete the temp ASPX page from your SharePoint site and delete the search results XML file.
If you would like more information on customizing a search results page I suggest this insightful article by Tobias Zimmergren:
SharePoint gives you many options for customizing your search results.
You can define different search results pages for each search scope you run.
You can set a specific search results page on the server level and redirect all search results to that page.
You can even define a search results page for a Search Box Web Part - it will redirect all search results (not including the Contextual Search Scope Search results) to the page you defined.
If you create a new Search Center you may want to redirect all search queries to the Search Center search results page.
You can setup this function on the scopes level or in the Search Settings of the root site in your Site Collection.
I hope this article (and the first two parts of this series) on SharePoint search results has been helpful to you. Please continue to visit the KWizCom blog for more helpful information, SharePoint tips and "how to" guides. We are here to help!

Trans-Pacific Express (TPE) Cable Network - The Ironic Truth by Tom Carter
In late December of last year, a 7.1 earthquake off the coast of Taiwan severely damaged Asia's undersea fiber-optic cables, disrupting telecommunication circuits across the continent.China and Southeast Asia saw their communications capacity fall to between 2 and 10 percent, and though a portion of service has since
een rerouted to alternative fixed lines and suicidally slow satellite transmissions, the P.R.C. has yet to fully recover from the technological aftershocks, what Mainlanders are now referring to as the "World Wide Wait.Repair status is conflicting, with Chinese telecom officials publicly alternating between evasive ("the work is slow because of complicated conditions"), blameful ("the repairs are done by other companies we commissioned") and unrealistically optimistic ("a few more days"), as quoted in the state-run media.International news sources cite a more likely and longer completion date of early-March for a return to full capacity, perhaps due to what global news service AFP disturbingly reports as China "relying on 19th century technology to fix a 21st century problem.In an effort to downplay the crisis, China precipitately announced that it expects to become the world's largest Internet user, overtaking the United States with an estimated 137 million users. That's quite a bullish forecast for a country that has suffered nationwide telecommunications outages since the new year.In fact, internet blackouts are nothing new to foreigners residing in the People's Republic, who are accustomed to limited access to overseas sites that have been blocked by the central government's web monitoring entity, commonly referred to as The Great Firewall of China.But the newest online paralysis resulting from the recent natural and technological calamity has most certainly affected international businesses in Mainland China, many whom rely on consistent online communications and B2B transactions to stay above international water. Even multinational conglomerates Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, who are already struggling in the Asian market, are now regularly met with "cannot display" time-out errors.Conversely, China's e-commerce giants just don't understand what all the fuss is about. China News Service reports that amidst the first several weeks of Internet outages, Chinese-based ISPs boasted a 99 percent uptime as the country's largest web corporations including Sina, Baidu, Alibaba, Tom and Tencent saw their site traffic, and earnings, multiply.But for China's Internet-deprived expat community from Beijing to the Bund, hope is literally on the Verizon. A consortium of international telecom providers including China Telecom, CNC and U.S. carrier Verizon have jointly invested $500 million in the construction of a new Trans-Pacific Express (TPE) Cable Network connecting Mainland China directly with the United States.The next-generation submarine optical cable system, expected to be completed in 2008, will span the Asia-Pacific at 60 times the present capacity, rendering obsolete the damaged FNAL cables beneath the Taiwan Strait.Indubitably, China's easily-crippled telecommunications infrastructure and the prolonged aftermath can be blamed on poor foresight and co-dependent technology and is both a devastating episode for foreign companies in China and a chin check for a nation striving to compete as a 21st century world player.But if the completion of a bigger and better trans-Pacific cable network has anything to do with the cause for the delay, then foreign and Chinese companies alike will just have to wait that much longer to resume to normal operating speeds.###

A lot of technology is going into our televisions and computers nowadays, but what we do not know is that a lot of technology and innovation went into the leads, cables and plugs on those items.
USB cables, SCART leads, SCART cables and AVI cables are among those little things that are so vital to those devices and enable them to work.
SCART leads are widely used throughout Europe and are actually the most common connection between audio visual equipments. SCART cables and connectors first appeared on televi
ion sets at the end of the seventies and first became compulsory in France a couple of years later. A SCART lead has twenty one pins which actually help improve the quality of the connection and sound or image coming out of the device. You can even get SCART cables with gold plated plugs for better sound and image quality.
However, SCART leads can not carry S-video and RGB signals at the same time which can be a problem on some devices. On top of that, the loss of connection due to a loose connector is something very common mainly because the cable used is very thick and heavy.
Another very common item is the USB cable and its port. This device created in the middle of the nineties is also very common on games consoles, computers, mp3 players and other devices. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) was first made to answer the need of having more than one peripheral connected and disconnected quickly without having for example to reboot your computer or to turn off the device each time you wanted to connect or disconnect it. Whereas the first USB cables were introduced as USB 1.0 in the nineties, you can now find USB 3.0 which was released at the end of two thousand and eight with new specification that allow the user to have a transfer rate of nearly ten times faster than the USB 2.0 version, which is quite amazing.
There are so many different types of cables though and USB cables and SCART cables are probably among the most commonly used.
In the end, there is so much technology in our different devices that we even forget that even the connectors used to plug those devices together also are full of technology as well. It is also very easy to buy those kinds of cables and leads online or in shops.

There are many traffic exchanges; TS25, Traffichits, Traffic Swarm, TrafficG, etc... If you can think of a subject there is probably a traffic exchange named after it - there's even Mafia Traffic and Dead hits. The basic idea is that you click on a website and watch it for 1-30 seconds and for every 1-3 sites you view 1 person will view your site. This can be quite tedious as to get a sizable amount of traffic you must view an awful lot of websites.
Most of these traffic exchanges have come up with an upsell from the free traffic exchange. For a set fee around $10-$30 per month you get 1,000 or so free credits and a quicker timer or a better conversion 1:2 instead of 1:3 or similar. The problem here is that most of this traffic is seen as robotic by the search engines so it will ot help much in your ranking. This traffic is also people just like you trying to get traffic. Very, very few will have any interest in your product or site and most will click right through to the next screen. So yours doesn't even fuully load - in other words they won't even see your site. Yes, there are sales made through the traffic exchanges, but it is so low of a conversion that you must really visit tens of thousands of pages for each conversion/sale.
Most traffic exchanges do have a virulence aspect built in which can help, but just like with Mary Kay and any MLM program, only the first program participants will reap much from this. You need a huge downline for it to be worth your time and this can take a long time to build. Just like Mary Kay, there are only 10 or so people per exchange getting most of the results. The rest are basically wasting their time and helping others (their sponsors) to get rich.
There are better ways to spend your time. Write articles and submit them to sites like ezinearticles for maximum readership. This will give you traffic that is virulent and long lasting. And it isn't a scam like MLM, its just you and your site links getting all the benefits. If you write interesting and helpful articles you will get great, targeted traffic. Ezinearticles even has numerous pages devoted to help you learn what to write and how to writ it to get maximum effect. You can also do press releases and word of mouth through forums and other free sites. In the long run you will do much better. Traffic exchanges are a waste of time. Don't take my word for it - try them and you'll see why I'm right.

Usually workflow & messaging is realized in CRM and then transactions are just logged into Accounting/ERP/MRP. In the case of Microsoft Business Solutions products: Microsoft Great Plains, Navision, Solomon, Axapta the natural CRM choice would be Microsoft CRM. However typical CRM application targets Sales automation, which is usually not applicable to government structure, non-profit or public company (community services, public utilities, churches, charities, etc.). Not-for-profit organization needs purchasing and
equisition workflow, payroll approval workflow, and in certain cases special General Ledger (GL) transactions workflow.
Microsoft CRM doesn't provide the functionality. Then how could this be realized? We'll provide two scenarios to realize this customization:
- Lotus Notes/Domino approach. In Great Plains you could realize either Great Plains Dexterity triggers or MS SQL database trigger on certain events (Purchase Order creation, Payroll Transaction, GL transaction). This event calls COM+ application and this one in turn creates Lotus objects via Java agent (Lotus Notes Domino should be version 6.0 or newer). This is basically the bridge. Then in Lotus you have to design workflow – but this is natural task for Lotus and it is not difficult. Users should work in Lotus to get transactions approved and when it should be posted in Great Plains – Lotus calls SQL script against Great Plains company database. Developer should know Microsoft Great Plains tables structure
- Microsoft Exchange/Outlook approach. This is the second way – when you do not want to deploy Lotus Domino, and would be OK with simple messaging and notification through Microsoft Exchange. The technical realization should either involve Dexterity or SQL trigger, calling COM object (Dexterity) or simply sending notification email from MS SQL Server. The scenario to post or take off hold from Great Plains transaction could be realized via MS Exchange event sink – this MS Exchange event handler will check all the messages and when the one has certain criteria – it calls MS SQL Server stored procedure in the Great Plains company database
- Programming Tools. Java agent to address Lotus – you need either Sun JDK or somewhat more advanced: VisualCafe or JBuilder. Great Plains Dexterity trigger should be done in Dexterity IDE – this language requires expertise and it is difficult to code without experience, Microsoft Exchange event sink should be programmed in Visual Studio as COM+ application, then you need to register COM+ application through Control Panel->System->Component Services
- Feasibility. To be honest and do not set unrealistic expectations – this Workflow implementation is pretty serious project and we do not recommend if for small non-profit organization – it is rather for large and mid-size-to-large structure.

A couple of months ago, I was browsing the web for reviews on the iPhone 3G, as I was looking at upgrading. I came across a few websites claiming that you could get a PAYG iPhone for free. Had I only seen one or two sites, I would have probably ignored them, but after coming across around a dozen of them, I thought I'd have a look.
The basis of the whole idea is affiliate marketing. I was still pretty sceptical about the concept, but thought I'd give it a go. I signed up to http://apple.freebiejeebies.co.uk/63977
/strong> and completed the Coral Bet offer. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the majority of the offers available to complete were from well known reputable companies (HSBC, Coral, LoveFilm, Gala Bingo and more). In order to complete the offer, I had to deposit and wager 5 in Coral bookmakers. I know this contradicts the idea of a 'free iPhone', but Coral match your first bet, and I was going to put an accumulator on the weekend football anyway. There are other offers which are free, such as a 2 week LoveFilm trial, but I am impatient, and wasn't happy with waiting 2 weeks to complete the offer!
Once I'd done this, I needed to refer some friends to sign up to http://apple.freebiejeebies.co.uk/63977 and do the same. I decided at that point to aim for an iPod nano 8GB for starters, as it was only 5 referrals. Within a few days I had got friends to complete the offers, and once the referrals were confirmed on http://apple.freebiejeebies.co.uk/63977, I waited for my iPod to arrive. Four days later, my iPod arrived from Amazon.co.uk, I was a believer! I showed the iPod to some friends and work colleagues, and they were keen to sign up.
From here, I decided that I wanted to go for some bigger gifts, and that I was beginning to exhaust my list of friends who would sign up. I decided a website would be the way to go, so I bought the domain http://freegiftfacts.com and set up a simple site. I've not had the site going for long now, but I have received a decent amount of traffic, and I'm looking into the world of SEO. Hopefully in a few weeks, when Google and other engines pick up the changes in the site, the hits should flow in. The site is a blog style website, and I keep it updated with my progress in the freebie world, in addition to hints, tips, new gifts and news.

Video cameras come also equipped with undetectable hidden cameras which allow 90 degree angle viewing. These are the perfect equipment to detect any objectionable activity that is a threat to the safety and security of the place of work to be checked. The cameras offer crisp resolution and sharp picture and the recorded footage could come in handy even to prove a person guilty in a court of law.
The best part of these hidden cameras and how they function is that they work in all kinds of light conditions to deliver a sharp p
cture. The electronic sensor fixed in a hidden video camera adjusts automatically the aperture for any change of light. Also known as spy cams, the hidden cameras are an ideal security alternative.
The technology that makes the hidden cameras work was originally developed for government agencies to put a check on spying especially in high security areas such as airports, embassies, hotels, conference centres, etc. Gradually, the technology found more takers for its utility in private players as well and in many a businesses huge scams were either unearthed or averted thanks to the results of the hidden cameras.
These spy cams are compact and discreet and it is possible to carry them in or hide them around everyday items like clocks, stuffed toys, plants, gym bags, shoes, or even buttons.
The crime graph has only risen over the years at an alarming pace and it is imperative to have a sound system of security. Cameras placed at vantage positions are often vandalized first by perpetrators of crime. More over, culprits are clever and must be caught unawares. Thus, the utility of hidden cameras comes into play.
Hidden spy cameras will assist you and take your worry away by keeping an eye on people and their activities in the place of work while you are not around.
The best of hidden spy cameras could be snapped up from the market at the most affordable prices. Stealth Cam is a hidden video camera equipped with built-in recorder that can be placed in a vault and even if valuables are lost, there would be the trail of the thief left behind to follow.

Since its inception, satellite TV programming service providers have strived to bring a higher quantity and quality of programming to televisions across America. There efforts have paid off well in the number of channels of fantastic programming that they now have for their viewers to choose from, when they make their selection of programming to have in their home and businesses.
Both Dish Network and DirecTV offer well over
ight hundred total channels each with their standard, high definition and Sirius satellite radio programming that they carry. Dish Network alone carries a full thirty-one channels of high definition programming witch makes them the unchallenged leader in high definition of all the programming service providers in satellite and cable TV.
DirecTV claims the top spot in spots programming, with a full twenty-five channels of sports that their viewing family can select from. DirecTV also has some channels of sports programming that they carry exclusively and they are something extra that the real sports aficionados in their family can add on to their programming packages to make sure that they always have something exciting to watch.
These exclusive channels carry NCAA Mega March Madness and NFL Sunday Ticket and both of these channels are chock full of exciting sports programming that can't be had from any other TV programming service provider.
Sirius satellite radio programming is free, with both DirecTV and Dish Network programming packages and if you aren't yet familiar with satellite radio, you are in for a big surprise. With satellite radio you select the channels you are going to listen to just like you would on a TV set and it's so much simpler and easier.
With standard radio you have to sort through all the radio channels that are designated digitally. That is, that the radio stations have numbers that you have to remember or be familiar with to find them and listen to them.
Satellite radio stations have channels just like stations on a TV set and you can go to a menu that lists them and has all the relevant information on each channels programming. So if you want to listen to smooth jazz, all you have to do is simply refer to the menu and click right to the channel.
There are no commercials on satellite radio and the music or provocative talk and news programming, goes on for twenty-four hours a day non stop. You can find virtually any type of music on satellite radio and each music channels is devoted entirely to its style of music, so you can have your favorite style of music non stop and uninterrupted all day long and entirely commercial free.
DirecTV and Dish Network have worked hard to achieve the goals that they have set for themselves and their higher level of success means that you now have a superior level of programming that is available for your home or business. Why settle for less when you can have more and better programming, at a far more competitive price.

During the years of our consulting practice, which comes back to East Europe in mid 1990th and then continues in the USA, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Oceania, Germany, Canada – we would like to orient you – business owner, IT director or software programmer.
Selection process can take several months and you may end up with non-Microsoft solution. We will give you our Microsoft Business Solutions products serving point of view.
- Small, midsize or large business. In our opi
ion – this was the to-be-or-not-to-be question of late 1990th when if you are public corporation you had to stick to rich functionality ERP: SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle Financials. When SQL database platforms dropped in the price and Microsoft SQL Server is available for all the budget options – you can stake on midmarket ERP solution to serve even large company - Great Plains, Navision or Axapta. Great Plains was purchased with the acquisition of Great Plains Software, Navision and Axapta were products of Navision Software and opened the European door for Microsoft. Again – this is what we see from our experience serving clients in these areas and this might not be official Microsoft positioning. We have no intention to do official product positioning here in this small article. Great Plains is popular in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Middle East, Pakistan, UK, Oceania, Latin America (in Brazil Navision seems to be officially promoted). Navision has very strong position in Europe, plus it has very matured market in the USA due to 1990th marketing efforts of Navision Software. We also see that Microsoft promotes Navision on the so-called emerging markets: Russia, Brazil (where it tries to compete with Microsiga and other local ERPs). Axapta is new ERP and it is targeted to large businesses and so we would say that it has rich functionality and can be considered as alternative bid to Oracle, SAP or PeopleSoft
- ERP Selection Advises. When you select corporate ERP you should think about product life cycle. If product is in the phase out mode – you definitely don't want to do new purchase and implementation. On the other hand – if product doesn't have reliable vendor behind and is very innovative – you should also apply portion of conservatism.
- Industries. We are confident in all the products: GP, Navision and Axapta to automate these industries: Aerospace & Defense, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare & Hospitals, Insurance, Textile, Apparels, Services, Placement & Recruiting, Apparels, Beverages, Logistics & Transportation, Food, Restaurants Supply Chain Management, Gold & Mining, Jewelry, Consignment, Wholesale & Retail, Advertising & Publishing
