Disk types for Virtual Environments In Virtuozzo

2010-06-19T05:03:00.001-07:00

Parallels Virtuozzo Technology which is used to create Virtual Environments or Containers for both Windows and Linux Based Servers. Each Virtual Environments has it’s own CPU, RAM and Disk Space in which OS is installed. Virtuozzo for Windows allows user to use VE Disks of Two types; they are 1) Plain : This is a default Disk type for VE’s in Virtuozzo. In this type at the time of VE creation all nominal disk size is being allocated or assigned to the VE’s at once. For Example, if you have assigned Disk Space of 100 GB; 100 GB out of available Disk Space will be assigned to the VE. The biggest disadvantage Plain Disk Type is it consumes heavy disk space of Host server even if the VE is not using that much of Disk. http://htxt.it/byFw

Nokia unleashes N900 on Indian geeks for Rs. 30,639

2010-06-04T06:23:00.000-07:00

In an event for tech-bloggers and reviewers, today Nokia officially launched the Nokia N900 in India. The dream geek device will finally be available, but at a steep price of Rs. 30,639.

After the announcement, all the bloggers, reviewers and geeks present there were taken for a spin on four-wheeled rally cars, an effort by Nokia representatives to show us the errors of our literary ways -- we should have become rally-drivers instead. No really, Nokia compared the experience to the speed and thrill of owning an N900 device.

The Nokia N900 with Linux-based Maemo software with usable terminal takes us into a new era of mobile computing. Also it's a device (mobile) which actually has a swap partition which can run nearly any open source software, since it has a proper Linux distro, unlike Android. You can install deb packages from a repository, and there is no dearth of free software for Maemo -- the version of Linux which runs on the N900.

You can run a virtualization application to actually emulate and run PC operating systems on it, and this is the famous phone that actually managed to boot an older version of Mac OS for PPC using the PearPC emulator !

Following are some more of the N900 specifications:

3.5-inch screen 800x480 16 million colour resistive touch-screen
ARM Cortex-A8 600MHz
Up to 1GB of memory with 256MB RAM and 768MB virtual memory
Up to 48GB storage,
Full browser (with an Acid3 score of 94), with full Flash support (v 9.4 not 10.1)
5MP camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with up to 800x480 video recording at 25fps
Integrated GPS with A-GPS
Integrated FM transmitter (will work in India)
Composite AV connector for TV-out
All the other usual wireless connectivity options

On an unfortunate side-note, Skype for the N900 will not be available on the device due to some government restrictions, although the FM transmitter will.
After putting so much into one little device, unfortunately Nokia decided to give it a resistive screen, which does not do justice to its capabilities. The price too, at around 30,000 is much higher than what it sells for across the sea.

YouTube XL Optimises Online Video For TV

2009-06-04T00:46:00.000-07:00

YouTube (Famous website for watching videos online) has taken its first steps to ensure that the online video has a place in living rooms around the globe, by making browser-based version of the site that's made especially for viewing online videos on big-screen TVs.

Last January, YouTube launched a version of the site for viewing through a PS3 or Wii, which was fine but the navigation left lot to be desired.

YouTube XL fixes this by adding large text and simplified navigation and offers continuous playback.

Also, if you have a Bluetooth enabled remote, you will be able to flick through the site as you would a TV channel.

The new layout of YouTube XL is impressive. The main box is made up of an easily scrolled list of videos, with big-button categories on left-hand side for easier navigation.

Thankfully, the likes of suggested videos and comments have also been stripped from the site, which makes for much cleaner interface.

If it wasn't for the fact that some videos aren't available due to rights restrictions, we might even want to use YouTube XL as main way into YouTube on our computer, let alone for viewing on a big-screen TV.

Try it for yourself, by pointing your browser to www.youtube.com/xl.

Awesome Quotes about a Genius "Sachin Tendulkar"

2009-05-03T23:17:00.000-07:00

@Hashim Amla
"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it."
Hashim Amla, the South African batsman, reassures himself as he boards a flight

@Yaseer Hameed
"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job."

"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
- What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin

@BBC on Sachin
Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their lives "

@Brian Charles Lara again
Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.

@Mark Taylor
"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin" - Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)

"The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his best knock."

@Shahrukh Khan
Que: Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh Bachhan. Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!!

@Navjot Singh Sidhu
"India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain.. Par Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte.." (In India, you can make Prime Minister stand in the witness box, but you can't raise finger on Sachin Tendulkar...)

@Waqar Younis
He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also .

A banner once said-' I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE SACHIN '
that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest.

@Allan Donald
Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world

@Allan Donald's interview. This interview was in Cricket Talk and 7-8 yrs ago.

I was bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from point and the other in between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the over after that we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting i told Jonty (Rhodes) to be alert and i know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ball of my next over and it was a fuller length delevery outside offstump. And i shouted catch. To my astonishment the ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin. His reflex time is the best i have ever seen. Its
like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicket better not prepare. Atleast u wont regret if he hits you for boundaries.

@Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century.
This Genius can stop time in India!!

@NKP Salve, former Union Minister
This was when he was accused of ball tempering
"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to politics. It's clear discrimination. "

@Andy Flower
There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others.

Silence of a genius is more dangerous than weapons with great noise..
Patience of a good person is powerful than anger of thousands fools.

A Careless word may kindle Strife; A Cruel word may wreck A life;
A Timely word may level Stress; A Loving word may Heal and Bless..

If u want to be a better friend , spouse, parent Or leader,Try listening..
It is guaranteed to take you a few notches in the way people perceive U..

The real art of conversation is not to say the right thing at the right time...
but also to leave the wrong thing unsaid at the most tempting moment..

Precious moments are like a drop of dew,
Cherish them before they disappear with the Morning sun..

Trust is like a crystal vase...
Once it is shattered it is broken forever..

Success is like a Beautiful Lover, It will leave us at any time....!
But failure is like a Mother it will teach us some important Lessons of Life....!!

The quickest way to acquire self confidence is
try to do exactly what you are afraid to do.. Just do it...

All the love U give comes back to U.
It may not happen right away..But in the end U will find its true

No one wins by strolling along...
Winners win by pushing their limits until their limits become the norm..

This is how Champions are made...

Getting Prognosis on Battery Life

2009-04-11T00:51:00.000-07:00

Rechargeable Batteries are given a certain number of "Charge Cycles" Before they wear out, but what exactly is a charge cycle and how can you findout how long your battery will last?

Many laptops, pocket media players, mobile phones and some digital cameras use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can be recharges a certain number of times before they wear out. Most of the companies define battery life by its number of "Charge Cycle" which generally refferes to the process of using up all the battery's power and fully recharging it, not the number of times you happen to plug ge battery into a power source to recharge it.

For example, say you play your fully charged iPod for several hours and run the battery down half way. At night, you recharge it all the way, and next day you run the battery down to half its powr again before fully recharging it. Because you drained only half the juice twice, that counts as one charge cycle instead of two.

Batteries on different devices have their own estimated life spans based on specific amount of charge cycles and use, and factors like very high or very low external temperature can also decrease the battery life. you can usually find information in the technical specifications for the battery or device, either in its manual OR on the manufacturer's Website.

Dell, for instance, keep electronic copies of its product manuals online at support.dell.com. In the section describesing its Latitude CPt CSeries laptop battery, Dell states that the battery has a life span of 500 full charge cycles or 2000 partial charge cycles at normal room temperature.

If you click on Apple's Website for more information about iPod batteries, you will find that properly used iPod's battery is intended to hold 80% of it's original capacity by the time it gets to 400 charge cycles. the site also has general tips on battery care.

The Church and it's Powers

2009-04-07T18:11:00.001-07:00

In a small town in America, a person decided to open up his bar business, which was right opposite to a church. The church and its congregation started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the bar and it was burnt to the ground.

The church folk were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the bar owner sued the church authorities for $ 2million on the grounds that the church through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the church denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar shop's demise. In support of their claim they referred to the Benson study at Harvard that inter-cessionary prayer had no impact !

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork and at the hearing and commented:

"I don't know how I am going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church and it's devotees that doesn't."

How does the Conficker worm work?

2009-03-24T19:08:00.000-07:00

The Conficker worm is a computer worm that can infect your computer and spread itself to other computers across a network automatically, without human interaction.

WORM: Win32/Conflicker attempts to make numerous connections to the computers across the network finding new hosts (systems) that have weak passwords, shared files on network, removable disks, outdated Security updates.

Computers on the network without latest Security updates OR outdated updates may get infected with the worm.

Computers with open shares and Shared network files on network can easily targeted by this worm.

Removable devices like USB Pen drives, Flash Drives, USB sticks, External Hard Drives may get infected with this worm and infect other computers where these media will be used for data transmission.

Shared Computer with weak password may get infected. So, make sure to keep strong password. Also use Numbers and Special Characters while setting Passwords.

Computers with a proper Password Policy, current Security Updates, Antivirus OR Security Software and Secured Network Share are protected from Conflicker Worm.

Here’s an illustration of how the Conficker worm works.

Never ignore complaint

2009-03-18T17:07:00.000-07:00

Never underestimate your Clients' complaints, no matter how funny
they might seem!

This is a real story that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive. Pls read on.....

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors.

"This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of having ice-cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies. Every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice-cream we should have, and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then mytrips to the store have created a problem.

You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice-cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds. What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice-cream and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"

The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but sent an Engineer to check it out anyway.

The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well-educated man in a fine neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice-cream store. It was vanilla ice-cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start. The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.

Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice-cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes: He jotted down all sorts of data: Time of day, type of gas used, time to drive back and forth etc.

In a short time, he had a clue: The man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.

Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time. Eureka - Time was now the problem - not the vanilla ice-cream!!!!

The engineer quickly came up with the answer: "Vapor Lock".

It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the Vapor Lock to dissipate.

Even crazy-looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution, with cool thinking.

Decorating your home

2009-01-31T17:33:00.000-08:00

Do you Dream of Adding Style to your Home but don't have a lot of money? Following are 5 things you can do that will help your house look Beautiful without spending much money.

1) Declutter your Home: Nothing kills a great look like clutter. Look around you. Do you have paper piles or mail stacks? Do you just add to your knickknack collection rather than rotate your select favourites? When was the last time you swaw the front of your refrigerator? Simple solutions that cost very little money are to invest in nice office trays, pretty bulletin boards and frames for your child's artwork. Make the trash can handy to immediately toss unwanted mail. Taking away the clutter will make your space appear larger and help you treasured objects be emphasised rather than lost.

2) Make display surfaces pretty: Flat surfaces such as mantels, bookcases, and coffee tables are the perfect places to restyle for less. The one imporatant point here is to keep it simple. Bookcases should only e 2/3 full. A mantle should not have mirror above it (a very dated look) - choose artwork instead. Place no more than three items on an end tabke - cluster these varied but related items together for more impact.

3) Paint to Impress: Paint, as you know, makes the most dramatic change for the money. Be bold, be daring and most importantly - don't do white! Choose a complex colour. This simply means if you would use several different words to describe the colour that it is probably complex. For Example; if you said it was a kind of "Gold, strawish colour" than it is probably a complex colour. If you said "just yellow" - it probably is not a very inspiring lok. A beautiful colour on the walls can make the room go from ordinary to extraordinary.

4) Make it Personal: Decorating your house is a job but styling your home is fun. Personalisation is putting your interests, hobbies or values into your decor to really make it your own. Buy simple - read inexpensive - curtains at your local big-box store and then buy exquisite wide ribbon to hot glue on the edge.

5)Change with the Seasons: You know the drill - lighter brighter for summer and darker richer for winter. This easy task of changing the fabric items around the home can help you make it seasonal. Change out placements, bath towels, and accent pillows. The final touch is to purchase a seasonal bouquet of flowers. Decorate your bye spending time not money.

By following these tips, you can make a huge impact by bringing your home from average to spectacular for very little money.

One Glass of Milk

2009-01-27T11:33:00.000-08:00

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed)

Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."
Now you have two choices.

You can send this page on and spread a positive message.
Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

A dash of Lime

2009-01-23T06:23:00.000-08:00

Morphogenic field at work

2008-12-02T06:38:00.000-08:00

Very Often, Information is passed on from mind to mind without any physical contact through invisible Morphogenic Fields.

How many times have you come across situations where you are thinking just the very same thing that the other person is your family is, of that your friend, colleague, etc is thinking of? How many times have it been that you and your friend or anybody literally speak the same words on a situation or you spell it out and the friend says, “Hey those are my words”. All this happens due to communications – not through the usual media of telephone, television etc. The information is passed on from mind-to-mind without any physical contact through Morphogenic field?

An example of this phenomenon at work is when somebody is humming a song in his/her mind and you ‘pick up’ the same tune almost inadvertently without that person telling you anything about it. Or when entire communities – linguistic, religious, and behavioral – function and think the same way without anyone having necessarily taught them to do so. That’s Morphogenic at work.

Morphogenic fields are basically non physical blueprints that give birth to forms. According to its founder, the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, a Morphogenic field is like an electromagnetic field that carries information only, not energy, and it is available through out time and space without any loss of intensity after it has been created. Simply put, he postulates that there is something like a group mind, or species mind, for each type of organism, and that each individual is connected to that shared mind or memory. Such invisible group mind can account for the spontaneous eruption of behaviors throughout entire populations of animals or entire human societies. Morphogenic fields can be used to describe how the human consciousness is shared. They therefore play the main role in the idea that humanity at one point in time will go through a dramatic collective shift in consciousness. A shift that will happen when the critical mass of a shift is reached, or in other words, when a certain number of spiritually awakened individuals are reached.

This is best explained by Sheldrake in his ‘Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon’ where he says when a certain critical number achieves and awareness; this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Translated into simple lingo, it means we have to consciously connect the goodness of one person with the goodness of another, so that a band of positivity spreads across the world. And it is the collective positivity that will achieve the critical mass that Sheldrake talks about, and bring about positive changes that will counter the negative influences that the world is seeing today.

The Popular Peanut

2008-10-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

Interestingly, not many of us are aware that the legume family, it is in fact more closely related to the pea, thus the name peanut.

Peanuts grow under the ground hence; the term groundnut is used for the unshelled variety. While groundnuts are widely available in India, they are believed to have originated in South America. Portuguese traders were the first to take peanuts to Europe, Asia and Africa.

Grown extensively in many rural areas of India, guests are served peanuts that are freshly roasted along with hot snacks and freshly brewed tea. The peanut is not a glamorous ingredient, but it is certainly the most versatile. Here are some ways in which peanuts are used as food.

Indian cooking: most Indian regional cooking is not complete without peanuts. It finds use across the country in various cuisines, ranging from the simple to the exotic. The south Indians combine peanuts with other spices t create basic masalas. Maharashtrians include peanuts in their chutney and various spice powders. Throughout the nation, peanuts are added to green chutneys for the extra flavor. Many households prepare singhdana subzis to be relished with rotis. Boiled or roasted peanuts are used as garnishes. Indian peanuts are fondly called ‘chakhna’ meaning cocktail snacks. Groundnut oil is also used for daily cooking.

Chikkis: the first chikki was made using the cheapest nut available; that is peanut. Though today chikkis are available in many varieties and made with various and made with various nuts, nothing can beat a chikki.

Peanut butter: peanut butter is a paste made from well-roasted peanuts that are ground along with some oil or butter. Peanut butter is very popular in the US and in the same manner that the Indians are fond of bread and jam; the Americans live on peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter at times is also used to make some desserts of salad dressings. Though the process of making peanut butter seems easy, the difficult part is storing it. It is quite likely for the peanut solids and the fat to separate of prepared at home. Thus, if the intention is to store peanut butter for long, it’s advisable to opt for a commercially available one.

Why peanuts are good?

Well, most won’t agree that peanuts are beneficial health wise due to various s reasons; however, peanuts do have some good things in store. Peanuts are a good source of antioxidants, niacin, vitamin E, unsaturated fat, bioflavins, and proteins. Peanuts are also believed to lower the risk of heart disease and provide protection from several types of cancer. However, many people are prone to peanut allergies.

It is the protein found in peanuts that react in the body to develop allergies. Peanut allergies are the most common causes of death h by food in US. Some people can even have reaction just from inhaling the aroma of peanuts.

Drive off, have a Happy Holiday

2008-10-02T21:48:00.000-07:00

Those who haven’t had the time for a vacation can still drive down to somewhere close

It’s almost the end of the holiday season and for those who haven’t had the time for a vacation, it is ideal to drive down somewhere close like a beach or a hill station for a quick break. Here are some pointers to keep in mind before you start off on that drive.

Make sure your car is served before you begin your journey. Lay emphasis on properly working headlights, wipers, the horn and seat belts.
Ensure that you have essential items like a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, tool kit and a spare tire in the car.
Before starting off, double check that you have all the necessary documents like your registration papers, insurance documents, drivers license. It would do well if you could also include a driving map.
If you are driving with a baby, ensure that you have a baby seat fitted in the car.
Last but not the least, driving long distances can be quite boring so make sure your music system is all spruced up to provide the necessary entertainment.

The good, the bad and the (green-eyed) ugly

2008-10-01T07:39:00.000-07:00

Trust is the most essential ingredient in a good relationship. You can have matching libidos. You can have the same goals, dreams and desires. For some people, trust comes easily. They work on the assumption that someone will be faithful until they’re proven wrong. If this is you, count yourself as one of the lucky ones. Sure, you might get a nasty surprise now and again, but at least you’re giving relationships the best chance they’ve got to succeed.

WHY IT’S GOOD…: Everyone gets jealous occasionally. If you love your partner and you feel someone is coming strong on your man, it’s normal to feel a sharp pang of jealousy-something that’s usually sorted out in a jiffy with a bit of reassurance. Match a regular person up with someone, who presses all the wrong buttons and just watch that entire normalcy go right out the window as he or she become outrageously jealous. If your partner has a history if playing around or if he’s cheated on you or has a history of cheating, you’re wise to keep your eyes open.

WHY IT’S BAD…: The difference between normal jealousy and abnormal jealousy is this: Truly jealous people experience it with practically every person they date. The trouble is, when you’re in the middle of a jealous rage, you lose all sense of perspective. Jealousy is an incredibly powerful emotion. You can’t control it because it’s being fed by one continuous thought. If you’re happy yourself, you’re much more likely to think ‘Why would my love want anyone else when he’s got me?’

To feel refreshed, try some Acupressure

2008-09-27T19:33:00.000-07:00

Your switch can’t always be turned to “On”. But when it isn’t, and needs to be, try a little top to bottom pressure. Stimulating certain acupressure points on your body-starting with the top of your head and moving down to the soles of your feet - is a quick and coffee-free way to jazz yourself up. Here’s how to do the wake-up rubs.

Try this acupressure sequence that recently proved very effective in a study.

Lightly tap the top of your head several times.

Use a thumb to massage the back of your other hand; rub the fleshy spot where the thumb joins the hand.
Massage the front of your legs, just below the knee.
Rub the soles of your feet, just below the ball.
Rub these points clockwise and then counterclockwise for 3 minutes. After that – presto! You’re awake.

Brighten up. Bright lights will make you more awake and alert.
Grab yourself a cuppa – tea that is as it has mind-grabbing ingredients.

Blog Professionally

2008-09-24T18:39:00.000-07:00

Blog is turning into business as bloggers are getting professional and giving out much more quality content

Internationally, online marketing is very recent. You might be familiar with shopping and banking online, but a major part of online economy you are not aware of is, Internet Advertising. Advertises are basically content-related and blogs have rich content to embed such advertisements.

Blogging has a considerable share in this online business. From last 5-6 years, bloggers are turning as professional bloggers to make money from this new online trend.

So, what is the basic difference anyway?

The bloggers work content only. The professional bloggers work content as well as spend some bucks on promoting their blog. To earn money from blog they need potential visitors, which can be achieved from promoting their blogs.

Professional bloggers design their blog related to content and also make it user friendly. For e.g. if you have a technology blog you use a sci-fi design for your blog. Also rather than using sub-domain name for their blog as www.example.blogspot.com they buy a related domain name as www.example.com so as to make their blog easily reachable for surfers.

The basic investment in this business is promoting your blog, and the earning source is also advertising. Also having a quality blog, good design and little bit of reputation matters.

To spend and earn money from advertising websites like Google Adsense, Adwords and Adbrite are preferred.

The websites like Alexa.com and Technorati.com gives you worldwide rankings which calculate your reputations based on web-traffic and readers appreciation.

Basic blogging targets are getting maximum blog readers and high rakings than competitors. But if you can manage these things the other ways of earning are giving paid reviews. For e.g. I have Internet security blog; anti-virus and security companies pays me to write review on their products.

Ways of earning are many, but if you are turning your blog into a business it should be your primary consideration and you have to work hard on it. You’ll find yourself blogging all the day and so it is called as a professional blogging.

Despite of all business considerations if you enjoy your blogging things like getting professional is not hard task. And the funny thing is you’ll find many blogs teaching you ‘Hoe to Blog Professionally’.

Don’t Worry, Eat Happy!

2008-09-21T19:11:00.000-07:00

Ever wish there were a happy pill to pep up your spirits when you’re out of sorts? To make you laugh when you’re feeling down? Or to calm your nerves when you’re about to bite someone’s head off? Well, get this: there are several things in your kitchen that might just do the trick, and they taste a lot better than a pill.

A little dessert: Sugar soothes us when we’re stressed – or at least it soothes stressed-out rats – which are remarkably good models for stress in people. But before you race to the vending machine with a license to binge, know that while a little sugar may soothe rattled nerves, too much will re-rattle them by causing havoc with your blood sugar.

Toast and Jam: “Carbs raise levels of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, which lifts our spirits,” says Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of Food and Mood. That’s why we crave bread and other carbohydrates when we’re down. Opt for whole-wheat bread and other stabilize blood sugar levels – unlike refined grains (white bread, pasta, rice) which send blood sugar on a roller-coaster ride, leaving you jittery, grumpy, and hungry. Get a happy serotonin boost from snacks like a bowl of oatmeal or sandwich.
Yogurt and Eggs: Numerous studies show that getting more of the omega-3 fatty acid called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in your diet may boost your mood and your brainpower. Even people battling tough-to-treat depression may feel as much as 50 percent better when they get lots of DHA. To keep your chin cheerfully up, aim for 200 milligrams (mg) of DHA a day.
Spinach: It gets you in a high-energy mood. Spinach is full of folate, a B vitamin that’s a must for making feel-good serotonin. Like DHA, folate may help ease depression, according to researchers. So, if you’re trying to stay on the sunny side of life, make eating spinach a habit.
Black Bean Dip: Black beans, like most legumes, ae a nifty source of iron. And if you’re low on iron – as many active women might feel constantly tried, both of which can turn you into a major grouch. Here’s how to help keep your iron levels – and your mood –up:

Mix black beans with chopped spinach and roasted red peppers as a dip for toasted whole-wheat tortilla.
Heat black beans with onions, garlic, and cumin and serve over brown rice.
Add black beans to chili and soups.

Two quick tips: To help your body absorb optimal amounts of iron, combine iron-rich foods with foods that are high n vitamin C- like tomatoes, broccoli and red peppers. But don’t wash them down with coffee, tea, or milk; all three can block iron absorption.

Bubblegum, Bubblegum in a dish…

2008-09-19T18:24:00.000-07:00

From clubs to bubble blowing competitions that have been cited in the Guinness Book of World Records, bubblegum has seen as interesting tale.

All of us at some point have chewed on bubblegum. We have even played that game as children, “Bubblegum, bubblegum, in a dish. How many bubblegum do you wish?” In addition, we have participated in bubble blowing competitions and today, there is also a bubblegum club! WOW! That’s so much of bubblegum in our lives! So where did so much bubblegum come from? Who invented it? These are some of the interesting things that we’re going to find out.

The first bubblegum, which was developed by Peter Meijer in 1906, was sticky and broke too easily, so it was quickly abandoned. Accompanied by his assistant, Meijer strove to create a stronger, less sticky type of gum, but was forced to give up in 1908 and declare bankruptcy.

Bubblegum was first introduced to the American public in 1911, although it was nor commercially successful.

The Fleer company developed an improved bubblegum, which they marketed under the name Dubble Bubble. The reason bubblegum is traditionally pink is that it was the original color used by Frank H. Fleer, as it was the only one stock when he made it.

Up to the 1970s, bubblegum had a tendency to stick to one’s face, if given the opportunity. But with the advent of super-soft, non-stick gum, bubble blowing became a less dangerous sport. In the years that followed, the fear of gum sticking to one’s face actually ceased to be a cultural phenomenon, despite having been a common humorous reference in entertainment.

Indeed, with the introduction of non-stick gum, bubblegum became one of the best- selling sweets in the

and soon outpaced several other sweets in the

United States

The current Guinness World Record Holder for blowing the largest bubble is Susan Montgomery Williams, from Fresno, California with a 23 inch bubble. Susan has held her record since 1979. Joyce Samuels of Louisville, Kentucky is the current GWRH for blowing the largest bubblegum from the nose, 16 inches. At the time this was written, Joyce is the only person to ever hold this record.

Are you hot-headed?

2008-09-14T20:00:00.000-07:00

Here are some ways to keep you from reaching a boiling point

Anger is one emotion that comes most easily to us. So, it’s perfectly normal when it is within control. Problems arise when it becomes uncontrollable and destructive, affecting your relationships at work and home.

What is anger?

It is felt at an emotional plane in life, either as a mild irritation to an intense fury or rage, and is accompanied by discomforting physical sensations. Anger could be caused by external events (delay in public transports, waiting in long queues, corruption, etc) or internal events (constantly perceiving insults or brooding over problems, ‘my way or the highway attitude in life). Thus, anger becomes a natural and adaptive response to a threat where a certain amount of anger becomes necessary to our survival, but when it takes over our lives on a day to day basis it threatens our very existence! Some people choose to express their anger aggressively by screaming, shouting, hitting and lashing out, whereas others suppress their anger by directing it inwards. Unexpressed anger can create other problems. Both physical (high blood pressure, migraines, acidity etc) and behavioral symptoms can develop. The healthiest way to express your anger is in an assertive and not aggressive way.

Why are you hot-headed?

Low tolerance levels of frustration and inconvenience.
Extremely sensitive to being corrected.
For some people, it all begins from childhood. They are irritable and touchy from an early age.
Family background and upbringing. (Some families are not skilled at emotional communication).

Manage your anger

Reduce your sensitivity to the emotional experience of anger. Become aware of your sensitivities that trigger anger. You can’t get rid of things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them so what do you do? The only viable solution for you is to manage your emotions and channelise your anger constructively. Easier said that done? Here’s how:

Respond, don’t react

In a heated argument, don’t say the first thing that comes to your head. Slow down, ask yourself to relax, breathe deeply, count 1 to 50 if required. Now carefully think about what you want to say, at the same time listen to what the opposite person is saying and take your time before answering.

Logic overshadows anger

Even though sometimes anger may feel justified it can be proved irrational only by logic.

Script your anger

Re-script your daily language. It is healthier to say, “I would like to have…”, rather than, “I must have…”People who use words like ‘never’ or ‘always’. This does not give the opposite person time to change the problem, and moreover in your head the experience is that there is no hope. Use of foul language…is a strict no-no, because it will make the opposite person angrier.

Humor your anger. If you are upset with a co-worker and you think he’s a blockhead, every time you are upset with him think of him as a block of wood, incapable of acting appropriately, this takes the fury out of your anger and enables you to take responsibility of the situation.

Learn to chill out

Problems and responsibilities tend to weigh down on you making you feel trapped and angry. In your schedule for the day, always take out time for ‘yourself’ and reflect on the day and the situations that have triggered anger.

Use deep breathing exercises and ask yourself to relax as your exhale. Breathe deep from the diaphragm and not just from the chest. Exhale your anger out.

Use visualization and relaxing imagery. Whichever scenery in nature resonated within you, must be used by you to relax.

The Image of Ganesha and It’s Meaning

2008-09-08T18:43:00.000-07:00

An elephant’s trunk has the strength to uproot a tree as well as the finesse to pick up a needle. Ganesha’s trunk symbolizes the fact that the wise person has both immense strength and fine discrimination.

Ganesha has large ears. The wise person hears all. He has four hands. In one hand he holds a lotus, the symbol of enlightenment. In the other hand he holds a hatchet. That is, the old karma – all your sanskars, the accumulated good and bad of past deeds – get cut when enlightenment comes.

The third hand holds laddus, the round sweet meats. They are the rewards of a wise life. Ganesha is never shown eating the laddus. The wise man never partakes of the rewards of his deeds. He is not attached to them. The fourth hand is shown blessing the people. The wise man wises the best for everyone.

Ganesha has only one tusk; the other is shown broken. There is an interesting story as to how Ganesh happened to get an elephant’s head and how one tusk got broken. The symbolism of the broken tusk is that the wise person is beyond duality.

We trend to think that we end when our bodies end in the material world. We are the first person. All else is different. This duality is created by the mind which creates the ego to help us to survive in this world. This is ‘me-other’ duality is the screen keeping us realizing our real Self, which is beyond body and mind.

Once we transcend this duality, we see the entire Universe as a single whole and we became aware of our true Selves. The single tusk of Ganesha symbolizes this non-duality. Wisdom allows us to see all as one and ourselves an internal part of the whole.

Ganesha is shown sitting with one foot on the ground and other resting on his knee, above the ground. The wise person is of this earth, yet not entirely of this earth.

Ganesha is shown seated on a rat. The reason for saying that Ganesha ‘rides’ on the rat is that the rat is among the greediest of all animals. It will keep nibbling at whatever is available, eating everything is can.

Scientifically too, the rat’s teeth keep growing and it has to keep chewing on something to keep these within limits. The rat is a symbol of our senses, which are never satisfied. They crave new experiences, new tastes. Left uncontrolled, they keep growing forever. The wise person rides on his senses. He keeps them under control.

Ganesha is often shown seated in front of a tray of sweets. In these images the rat is shown sitting in front of Ganesha, perhaps a bit to one side, looking up at him. The senses of the wise person are under his control and the rat dares not to eat the sweets without the permissions of Ganesha.

Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati, the God governing the life-force and the earth-mother. This symbolizes the spirit and body of the wise person. Finally, the wise person has the dignity of an elephant.

When we say “Aum Ganeshaya Namah” before starting anything what we are saying is that “In what we are about to do let wisdom be our guide”. In a sense, Ganesha is our most powerful god, and he is usually remembered before starting any rituals for other deities.

Everyone is Scared of Something

2008-09-03T06:23:00.000-07:00

All of us are afraid of something. I will get you acquainted with various types of PHOBIAS that are there today.

In the Asterix comics that were a huge hit. Asterix the Gaul and his friends didn’t know the meaning of fear. They were, however afraid that one day, the sky might fall on their head. So yes, even the bravest people are afraid.

There are different types of fears. The fear of something, as we all know it, is termed as phobia. Phobia is derived from the Greek word Phobos, which means fear; various phobia is derived from the Latin or Greek words, and the first part of the word is the representation of the fear itself. For example: arachnophobia, which is the fear o spiders, is derived from the Greek words arachne which is spider and phobos which is fear.

There are three main categories of phobias. The first case is agoraphobia, which is the fear of open spaces. The second class is social phobias and the third is specific phobia, which vary in different individuals and has a number of subclasses.

The specific phobias are categorized into the following:

Animal Phobias:

Animal phobias, be they fear of dogs (cynophobia), cats (elurophobia or ailurophobia, among other names), spiders (arachnophobia), reptiles or insets (herpetophobia) or any other animals, are instigated by the presence of or the fear that animals or insects will be present in the sufferer’s immediate environment.

Environmental Phobias of Nature:

Environmental phobias are brought on by anything pertaining to the environment that is ‘natural’ in origin. Some examples of these include fear of heights (as of a precipice, specifically known as cremnophobia), fear of thunderstorms (brontophobia), fear of waves (can also be fear of wave like motion; cymophobia or kymphobia), or fear of thunder and lightning (astraphobia), or the fear of rain or f being rained on (ombrophobia).

Situational Phobias:

Situational phobias are perhaps the most command in modern society. Situational phobias include claustrophobia (fear if enclosed spaces), fear of home surrounding (eicophobia or oikophobia,), or the fear of cars (motorphobia).

Of course the list if phobia names gets added to frequently as new situations, substances, and environments come into play. People can also overcome their phobias and work on it. After all, it’s only when you know the meaning of fear and overcome it is when you are totally brave.

Communication & Relationship

2008-08-28T13:55:00.000-07:00

The quality of your relationships is directly related to what you think. Thinking is how your mind interprets what happens around you.

The information you receive is determined by how you interpret incidents. The quality of your information is dependent on the struggle between your ego and your wisdom. Whoever has the dominant position influences your thinking towards one of the poles.

Relationships are about communication. You are conveying a message to someone or you are interpreting their message.

You think in concepts and pictures. The pictures that you formulate are then turned into words. This is where you encounter difficulties.

“A picture tells a thousand words.”

Why Communication breaks down?

Your words don’t describe your picture because you focus on your own emotional needs. Emotion is what drags an interpretation towards one of the poles. When you communicate, this prevents you from focusing on your delivery and the feedback you receive from the other person that is essential to effective communication.

There are only two types of relationships. The relationship you have with yourself and the relationship you have with the outside world.

1. The relationship you have with yourself is based upon how you interpret what happens around you at any given time.

This means that every event is interpreted by you, based on the state of your mind in the past when you interpreted the last event. You are heavily influenced by your past and all of your thinking is biased towards one of the poles.

To improve the relationship with yourself you need to communicate your concepts to your ego in a positive way. You need to train your mind to do this.

Use positive affirmations to redraw your pictures. It’s that simple but it requires constant effort.

2. The relationship you have with the outside world is identical. What happens to you is based on how you interpret the event, not what the event is.

The difference is what you focus on and how you interpret the event. Beware that each event is a new opportunity and you can interpret and respond as you wish. Your relationships with the outside world are just a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself.

If you are angry, you will find that your are surrounded by other angry people. What happens if you are happy? Yes, you will find yourself surrounded by other happy people.

What you can do is simply is simply look around and determine the quality of your existing relationships. This is the indicator of what is happening internally with you.

This will improve all your relationships dramatically. You have the ability and the opportunity to recreate you and your relationship to yourself every moment of everyday.

Speed Up Your System

2008-08-24T19:41:00.000-07:00

‘BOX’ – Many prefer to call their PC by that name, or the frequent hang-ups that your computer experiences. Some chose to bang their hand hard, against the CPU whereas some just adjust. Just relax! I have the solution for you.

There are a zillion reasons for that but the most common are virus, spyware, malware, and worm. Another very command reason is that your PC may be low on RAM. So comparing these to aspects make sure that you have installed an anti-virus that does not occupy your entire RAM. Norton for example, gives you good results but makes your PC slow. Well in that case McAfee, Kaspersky, Avast etc. is one of the best options. If you are planning to increase your RAM, for optimum results don’t plan to settle under 1 GB. No matter what RAM you have do install a good anti-virus for your PC. Make sure that it gives you protection from not just viruses but also spywares, Trojans, malware etc.

Many a times there are unwanted and unnecessary processes running under the covers, which you are not aware of. You can find them and terminate them forever. Just type ‘msconfig’ command in ‘Run’ and select ‘start-up’ tab. There you’ll find all the processes, which start automatically when you start your PC. Deselect the processes which you KNOW are unnecessary example: GoogleToolbarnotifier and click ‘Apply’. Now select the ‘Services’ tab in ‘msconfig’. Select the option ‘Hide All Microsoft Services’ now deselect all the services. Which you KNOW are unnecessary, and then click on ‘Apply’. Another thing you can follow to increase your PC speed is – Keep your desktop as clean as possible. Say only seven to eight shortcut icons. It helps a bit here and there.

When your PC snoozes to a slow mode we can see a rise in the ‘PF Usage’ in ‘Task Manager’. As it soars towards its maximum, your PC gets slower and slower. In your ‘Control Panel’ double click on ‘Systems’, select ‘Advanced’ tab, and then click on ‘Settings’ button and then again ‘Advance’ button. In there you will find ‘Virtual Memory’ option with a ‘Change’ button. Generally it is set to 1.5 times your RAM, your can take it a bit higher to times. Try it out.

How to Overcome Your Negativity

2008-08-21T13:43:00.000-07:00

Negativity is not a major problem that cannot be cured

Negativity is a negative way of thinking or looking at things. A negative thought is a result of your negativity. Negative thoughts can only produce negative results, and this is surely not something that you want. Possibly you might have started looking upon things negatively due to your past experience, where you might have come across failure.

A person might think negatively due to his/her attitude, that is fear of losing something, low self-confidence, unwillingness or low self-motivation. These are some primary human behavior that adds to a person’s negative way of thinking. Your negative thoughts have to be eradicated, if at all you want to reach your goals (destination).

A negative person is loved by none as anything and everything that he perceives has a devil’s thought in it. Everyone comes across negativity in their lives which can be a very small phase, unless one has stuck to it. Negativity is not a major problem that can’t be cured or dealt with, but it can act be very devastating for a person if help is not received. Negativity thinking can get you nothing more than worry and this will lead to failure.

The problem of your repeat negative thinking is caused due to your attitude where you looked at things negatively; in this process your mind was guided to a place where it was forced to think negatively. In order to get your mind back under control you have to seek help.

Talking to a friend is the best treatment as far as curing a mind is concerned; this allows your mind to relax Once your mind is relaxed it is then taken to subconscious state, this is where friendly discussion plays a major role. A mind that is intuitive can be taken off the wrong path and put you back on right track. All this means that your negative thoughts can easily replaced with the all-important positive ones. This is possible for you to do it all by yourself. Yes, this is a treatment that you can conduct for your cause. You can discuss yourself without even bothering about the negative results.

So if you are looking for this amazing treatment, then all you are required to do is listen to light music, read jokes or visit a garden. After few minutes re-think about your task, you won’t be negative about it. This way your life will be made normal but you will reap more and more though those positive thoughts.

Mental Flexibility

2008-08-12T17:59:00.000-07:00

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be out of shape

Their rigidity of thought doesn’t tolerate freedom of expression. It is a reaction instead of a solution. Do we have the ability to handle different situations in different ways? If so, why adopt hard ways to make others believe in our ideology? This is nothing more than an expression of intolerance, narrow-mindedness.

Openness to new or different ideas, mental flexibility allows us to adjust to a changing environment. The stress we experience in life is due to the inability to accept change. People are criticized for changing their minds. “They lack consistency. They have no strength of conviction”. But what are minds for, if not for changing? Changing one’s mind is not a sign of weakness, but of flexibility and growth.

Here are some steps to cultivate mental flexibility:

When you’re listening to the viewpoint of another and are tempted to disagree with it, remember that you will be changing your own opinion in the future. So, remain open. The more ideas you have to draw upon, the more creative and solution-oriented you will become.
Did you ever notice that the only people we consider intelligent are those who share our opinions?
Don’t cling to your opinions, for they are nothing more than knowledge.
To benefit from the wisdom of others, didn’t get turned off by how they present their opinions. Focus on the substance.
Whenever the opinions of others make you feel uncomfortable, don’t run and hide. Whenever we are forced to step outside of our comfort zone, we grow.
To be flexible, we must be willing to break from tradition and habit. We must be willing to question everything.
Increase your use of the right hemisphere, which is the seat of intuition and creativity. Become more attuned to the arts, nature, and the wisdom of your inner voice.
Learn from any source you can. Friends and co-workers, books, new information is the sources of new options, which can offer greater flexibility.
Adjust your attitude and perspective. When you begin to view the strangers as friends, instead of potential threats, you’ll become more flexible.
Learn to view the world through the eyes of another. Use the power of your imagination to place you into as many as roles possible, for flexibility consists of understanding the viewpoints of others and learning from them.

Different opinions are not the enemy. But that power would be denied to us unless we have an open mind.

Let’s unravel the mystery of the origin of Chess, a game that is Ruled by India even Today

The Origin of chess is as mysterious as the game. While we can only assume its origin, there are several places across the world that claim to have invented the game. However, according to Sir William Jones (1746-1794), one of the earliest chess historians, the game originated in

India

around 600 AD. From here, it went to

Persia

in 700 AD and was then adopted by the Arans in 800 AD. Historians believe that the game was spread across the workd through the Arab influence as they were primarily nomadic in nature.

India

– Chaturanga:

The game in Ancient India was known as Chaturanga. As the name suggests, instead of the two players modern chess has, the ancient version had four players (Chaturanga, means ‘quadripartite’ in Sanskrit).

Persia

– Chatrang:

The period of the Persian Empire relevant to the origin of chess, was known as the Sassanid Empire and ruled

Iran

for over four centuries. One chapter of the book of Kings describes how the Raja of Hind (

India

) sent game via an emissary to King Nushirwan. The same chapter relates the legend of the invention of chess following a civil war between the two sons of a Queen. The game is also mentioned in the ‘Karnamak’ (‘Book of Deeds’).

Arabia – Shatranj:

After the death of Prophet Muhammad, one of the world’s great conquests spread out from Arabia. By 656, the Persian Empire had been conquered and although the status of chess was uncertain in the codes established be the Koran [Quran], the game flourished. The great culture of early Islam gave us the first works first chess literature, first recorded the names of early chess player, and spread the game as far as

The Mysteries of Stonehenge

2008-08-07T13:39:00.000-07:00

Get Acquainted with Stonehenge – A Monument, which is considered as on of the World’s Biggest Enigmas

Stonehenge is probably the world’s best-known megalithic site. A megalith is a standing stone monument. Stonehenge, which is situated on Salisbury Plain in southern

England

, has been associated with all sort astronomical and religious myths. Every year, on June 21, which is the longest day, thousands of visitors collect for a festival to mark the summer solstice.

There have been many theories over the years as to who built the site and why. Probably the most famous is that the Druids (ancient magicians) built it as a place of worship. The problem with this theory is that there were no Druids in

England

at the time it was built, and the Druids preferred places with trees for their worship.

Another theory is that it was some sort of religious site where human sacrifices were made, but this theory is the weakest of all, since no human remains have been found there.

Another, and the best theory, is that it was some sort of astronomical observatory. The sun rises directly over the heel stone on midsummer’s day. It is not very likely that this is coincidence. The problem with this theory is that over the 5000 years that it has stood, mid summer’s day has changed and so has the position of the sun. However, people have estimated that 5000 years ago, midsummer’s day was June24, and that the sun would have risen over the heel stone then. Other calculations show that it could have been used to predict solar and lunar eclipses, and perhaps even as a daily calendar.

We will never know exactly why the site was built. One thing is certain, though. It was built for an important purpose, since no one would have gone to so much effort just for fun.

Ethical Hacker’s Test’

2008-07-31T18:45:00.000-07:00

Wanna know what exactly Ethical Hackers Do to Secure Networks? Just Check this out

Securing any network (or system) consists of several tests. Based on the results of these tests, ethical hackers secure the weakness of that network. Depending on such tests ethical hacking is classified as following:

White Box Testing: Ethical Hacker, who is performing this test have fill knowledge of the network. He knows the basic hierarchy of the network. Also he knows which operating systems are running, what the security measures are taken, which software company uses for their work and every single detail of it.

And then he plans how to find the system’s vulnerabilities and attack it. But this type of test is not effective, as he already knows where weakness is in the system. He can directly intrude there and perform the task. So such tests are preferred in low priority sections of network.

Black Box Testing: From the above explanation you might have guessed that how black box is performed. In this test ethical hacker has no knowledge of the network, not even the infrastructure of the company. He doesn’t know how network is classified and what is going on ‘in there’. This is where the skill of every ethical hacker is waiting for. So what he will do now?

He tries to get information from the outside. Every detail of the company, its history, or from some past employees of the company is helpful for him. From all information he gathered, he makes fingerprint of the company network. Fingerprint diagram is made on a paper with details he received. He fails to get access to some details obviously, so he assumes them and prepares a fingerprint of the same. (Not one, two or three – if one fails he uses the other)

Then he attacks from the network from outside. (By using the internet)

And then he finds vulnerabilities of the network as criminal hacker do. This is where network is actually subjected to its security test. This is best for securing network and every company prefers it.

Now again, the above test consists of two parts named vulnerability and penetration testing. The vulnerability assessment is done by automated tolls and hackers just checks the results and secures weakness. For penetration test, hacker actually finds vulnerabilities, tries to exploit every single of it, and then determines how this would affect the network. Based on result he eliminates some of them whichever possible and remaining are secured one bye one.

Some prefer either the black box or the white box test, and others prefer both. Doesn’t matter what kind of test you are performing, aim is only one- “Security”.

The fruit that fights wrinkles

2008-07-26T04:26:00.000-07:00

You really can fight wrinkles from the inside you. And there’s a fruit that can lead the charge. It’s papaya. What makes papaya so perfect? Easy, Vitamin C. Papaya has loads of it, and getting lots of vitamin C may mean more youthful skin – fewer wrinkles and less thinning and dryness.

The mysteries of C
Vitamin C is a natural friend to skin. The nutrient is essentials for making collagen, the protein fibres that give skin its strength and resiliency. And being a powerful antioxidants, C also disarms free radicals that would otherwise chip away and weaken collagen. Vitamin C helps protects skin from this sun scourge too.

More food for your Face
A little extra vitamin C isn’t all it takes to plump your complexion. Here are a few more tips that can help keep your face fresh:

Munch on walnuts. In the Vitamin C study, researchers also noted that diets rich in linoleic acid – as essentials fatty acid in walnuts – meant moister; plumper skin.

Ease up on fats and refined carbs. Scientists found both were linked to aging skin. Think whole grains. The magnesium and B vitamins you get from them help with the regeneration of skin cells.

Cyber Criminals

2008-07-23T06:08:00.000-07:00

With the technology evolving continuously, activities of cyber criminals are also increasing. Taking advantage of inadequate enterprise security cyber crooks are spreading the wings of this low-risk criminal business. Criminal gangs are targeting top students from leading academic institutions to enrich their resources for committing hi-tech crimes. To ensure the next generation of malicious coders and hackers they are sponsoring young graduates everywhere.

The gangs with criminal intentions have formed an online cult, which gives them status of celebrities within online communities. And they also spread ‘black-hat’ hacking tricks in this cult.

Cyber criminals basically targeting social networking and community sites and spread ad ware, mal wares and viruses through these media. And the authors of such viruses are cashing in depending on their popularity.

They are developing new tricks daily, which make them harder to detect. Following are the basic things they use.

Phishing attack:
Hackers design fake emails same as your banks have and forward that email asking your passwords for some security reasons. If you fall in their trap you can lose your all money.

Botnets:
These are the robot networks of illegally linked computers, which can be operated remotely and one of the preferred methods of performing attacks.

Trojans:
With the help of Trojan hacker can control a computer in many ways and can destroy data to great extent too. Hackers can send Trojan to you by mails, chat rooms, or files you download from internet.

I guess if you are aware of these you can at least try to stay away from hackers.

Cyber criminals have psychological warfare to try an attack and to succeed. They keep on practicing things to increase their knowledge. There hard work makes them masterminds of the dark world. But all they have is used for organized crimes. They explore the databases, breakdown networks, crack bank accounts or play mind games. Everything they do to make fast money with minimum risk. This new formatted structure is becoming more professional and strategic in its working, which is one of the recent alarming threats.

Evolving technologies in smart-phones and mobiles like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS and VoIP they are getting new challenges and it is again increasing the number of criminals in the cyber world. Cyber crime is longer in its infancy it’s a big business with vast opportunities.

This disease of technology does not have and one-time medicine or vaccine. It is something to be continuously worked at rather than complete cure and ‘Ethical Hackers’ can be the only way.

Attitude is Everything – II

2008-07-20T03:51:00.000-07:00

If Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention,
Discontent Is The Father Of Progress

You say you are not satisfied? Great! You’re well on the way road to moving forward. If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. The let there be ideas, and hard work.

Each step we take forward is accompanied by new problems. And it is in solving these new problems that further progress is made. In other words, problems are the price of and key to progress.

“All right, I agree. Progress is desirable. I want to improve but how do I begin?” Well, we can start by changing our attitude r the way we view the world. Some tips follow

a) Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Remember, if each mistakes is a new one, you are making progress.

b) Get into the habit of using the magic word, YET. Don’t say, “I can’t do it. I don’t know how to you to do it.” Say,”I can’t do it YET. I don’t know how to do it YET.” That simple three letter word has the power to change your negative thinking into possibility thinking.

c) If you have a setback, you don’t have to take a step back. On the contrary, prepare for a comeback. Learn from your setbacks and discover the opportunities they conceal.

d) Don’t afraid of taking risks. Few years from now you may be more disappointment by the things you didn’t do than b7 the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

e) Don’t ask, “Do I have what it takes to succeed?” Of course, you do. Rather ask,” Am I willing to pay the price to succeed?” What is the price of success? The four D’s: Desire, Discipline, Determination, and Dedication. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet avoid confrontation are people who want crops without plowing up; they want rain without thunder.

f) Our goal is not to go all year without ever losing a game. Our goal is to win more than we loose, and if we can do that consistently enough, then when the end comes, we will have won it all.

g) Make the right choices. There is a choice you have to make, in everything you do. And you must always keep in mind. The choice you make makes you.

h) Don’t make excuses; make progress. When the archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bull’s eye is never the fault of target. To improve your aim – improve yourself.

i) Accept Responsibility; when a teacher was asked by a student which was the worst, to be blind, deaf, or limbless, he replied, “None of these things! Lethargy, irresponsibility, lack of ambition or desire: They are the real handicaps. So as we accept this fact we must accept responsibility for our actions.

j) Don’t be ungrateful. After all, discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present. It is unawareness of the beauty, unconcern for the needs of our fellow man.

k) Finally, if we wish to lift ourselves up, we need to avoid getting stuck up. And if we wish to make ourselves better, we need to avoid believing we’re better than others.

Attitude is Everything – 1

2008-07-19T15:33:00.000-07:00

We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future

The process of the human change begins within us. We all have tremendous potentials. We all desire good results from our efforts. Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and happiness demand.

Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines our potential that produces the intensity of our activity, and that predicts the quality of the results.

Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determinations when we are faced with new challenges. No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.

No one else “makes us angry”. We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. If we select a volatile attitude be becoming hostile, angry, that we are unworthy, then again we have failed the test.

If we care all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings that have the capacity to lead us confidently into a better future.

If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining members of the human race by maintaining total domination over our attitude. Our attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value, which must be protected accordingly. Beware of the vandals and thieves among us who would injure our positive attitude or seek to steal it away. Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve that influences all the other areas of our existence.
