The Computer Trend - A Brief History

The last two decades have marked an enormous increase in the number of home computers. With it, computer owners have invariably taken to entrepreneurship in many varied fields. Thanks to the growth of technology, computers and the Internet, new methods have been developed for processing everyday business activities easily. Without the advent of technology, routine tasks would otherwise have taken and enormous amount of time and specialization. Undoubtedly, the computer represents the top technology development in the last century as it relates to businesses today, both large and small. Advances in the field of technology have created a vast number of business opportunities.

Some Statistics

In 2003, the U.S. Small Business Administration produced a report/survey that established conclusively that more than 75% of small businesses owned computers and had heavily invested in new technology. Let us try to understand what the computers mean to businesses and how they contribute to increase their productivity.

USE OF COMPUTERS IN BUSINESSES

The fundamental reasons for the popularity of computers with small businesses are their efficiency, speed, low procurement cost and more than anything else, capability to handle multiple tasks with little chance for error.

Office Routines: Almost invariably, businesses loaded with the burden of increasing workloads and the pressures of being lean and mean, fall back upon technology for most of their administrative tasks. This work includes, among others, bookkeeping, inventory managing and email. The advent of the Internet has also substantially contributed in bringing down the costs of communication and marketing. In a nutshell, technology has reduced the overall cost of business operations.

New Business Opportunities: The explosion of Internet and e-commerce has opened up a plethora of opportunities for all types of businesses. New management methodologies, such as Six Sigma are easier to implement due to statistical software. Also, companies are able to train their own employees using in-house Six Sigma software programs, and as a result, save money on labor costs.

It is now possible to have many business functions operate on autopilot. This has opened up new opportunities for software development companies and business consultants. Another business trend that has opened up as a result of advancing technology is outsourcing. It is now possible for a company in America to have its data entry and customer service centers in overseas countries such as the UK. In this way, companies can service their customers 24/7.

Indispensable Components of Small Businesses

It is difficult to think of a situation where businesses can do without technology and computers today. It is extremely difficult to say whether businesses depend on computers or computers created business opportunities.

Software Specific To Small Businesses

Certain powerful, yet simple software has come to the rescue of small businesses in reducing their tasks and opening up new channels. Simple applications like spreadsheets and word processing helps them maintain accounts, finances and keep track of correspondence. These applications allow the users to customize reports and other functions to suit their particular business.

Drawbacks

Both men and women in business have adapted successfully to new technology. But the SBA report cites the general decline in skill levels of people, which may eventually result in an overall reduction of income levels. It seems that people get used to technology doing all the work and tend to neglect their skill development. It is up to individual companies to make sure that their employees are still able to do crucial tasks without the assistance of computers, if necessary.

Among this 3men who is the most foolish one?

 

 

Step 1 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

Don't take anything your Ex ever said or did personally, because nothing your Ex ever said or did was about you. Even if your Ex downright blames you for everything that went wrong in your relationship, realize their statement is only coming from who they are, which has absolutely nothing to do with the person you are.

Step 2 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

However, not taking your Ex personally is a two sided coin. If during the heat of an argument you react and tell your Ex what an idiot THEY are, and how everything is THEIR fault, then it has nothing to do with them. Your statements only reflect the kind of person you are, which is a person who likes to blame and judge. This has nothing to do with your Ex. Therefore, consciously make an effort to be the person you are, regardless of how your Ex is behaving. Make a list of all the qualities you admire in others, for example: kindness, confidence, compassion, and respect. Chances are you already possess the qualities within yourself. Be very careful not to make statements that don't reflect who you are, even when you may be tempted to give into the hurt and anger you feel.

Step 3 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On

Release your judgments and opinions by becoming friends with Death. As morbid as this sounds, realize that in 100 years, you and your Ex will likely be dead, and nothing you ever fought about will be remembered. If your Ex has the obsessive need to be right and argue with you about everything, give in to their whim and say, "You are absolutely right." Not only will this reinforce your relationship with Death and save you a tremendous amount of personal power, your Ex will find it impossible to argue with you because you are giving the non-verbal message that it really doesn't matter. As one my favorite authors Wayne Dyer once said, "Have you ever noticed how hard it is to argue with someone who isn't obsessed with being right?"

Step 4 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

If the hurt and anger is overwhelming, distance yourself from your Ex completely. And no matter what, get on your knees and pray for your Ex every morning. Pray that your Ex will be granted all of the health, wealth and happiness you wish for yourself. Even if you are not a religious person, or you don't believe in God, the act itself is liberating.

In twelve step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, they are taught to pray for people they have a deep resentment towards. At first, you will not mean a word of the prayer. But if you say the prayer consistently for two weeks, you will come to genuinely mean it, and find that there is a part of you that realizes your Ex is just a human being, with their own imperfections, weaknesses and short comings. If you go deeper, you will realize your Ex may also be a very hurt and scared person - even if they outwardly seem very hostile, aggressive and manipulative. Of course, no matter what happened to your Ex in their childhood or even in their day to day life - it does not give them a reason to mistreat you. But by being aware of the fact that your Ex has a certain set of issues to deal with on their own time, it will help you replace the hurt and anger you feel with compassion and understanding.

Step 5 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

Own your personal power. Because when you are who you are, regardless of the situation or circumstance that comes your way, then this transforms you into a very powerful person. This is the step that absolutely baffles your Ex, because by you being who you are, and not letting them get you down - it sends your Ex the non-verbal message that you are who you are and they are who they are. But most importantly, it tells your Ex that you are not going to take any of their crap! When you respond to your Ex's hostility with kindness, and your Ex's blame with compassion, it frustrates them to no end, because your Ex cannot get you to play their game.

Step 6 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

Come to understand that you are doing all of this work for no other reason than to realize who you are, restore your sense of balance, and reclaim your personal power. If you do all of this work in order to manipulate your Ex, and make them want you back, your Ex will subconsciously sense your intentions, because at one point or another, you will slip and let your intentions be known without realizing it. When this happens, you will give all of your power back to your Ex, and will have to start all over again with Step 1.

Step 6 is often tricky, because if you master each step up to this point, your Ex may very well want to reconcile. At the very least, your Ex will begin responding to the kindness you send their way in a positive fashion. But regardless if you want to get back together with your Ex, just be friends, or just get over the obsessive thinking - remember your sole purpose is to realize who you are, restore your sense of balance, and reclaim your personal power. If you do all of this work just to manipulate your Ex into responding the way you want them to, it may work for a very short period of time. But I guarantee your Ex will pick up on the fact that your intentions are not genuine, and you will lose your personal power. Not only that, but when you genuinely become who you are, you attract the right kind of people to your life. And maybe your Ex is not the person you are meant to be with! And the only way you will know if you are meant to be with your Ex or anyone else is if you are genuinely who you are.

Step 7 To Get Over Your Ex And Move On:

Forgive your Ex, no matter what they did or didn't do. Unfortunately, it may not be enough at this point to say, "I forgive my ex." And leave it at that. Forgiveness has little to do with words, and more to do with action. Before proceeding with this step, I recommend reading up on the topic of forgiveness, and reading heroic stories about the power of forgiveness. I once read a story about a woman whose daughter was brutally raped and murdered by a man that was eventually caught and sent to prison. As anyone can imagine, the woman spent years of her life in rage and obsession over what this man had done to her daughter. I am sure there are no words to express how much pain this woman was feeling. However, she somehow stumbled on a book entitled, The Course of Miracles and began reading about what the power of forgiveness could do for her. She started to pray for the man, and eventually sent him a letter, letting him know she had forgiven him for the actions he took against her daughter, even though she didn't condone his behavior. To make a long story short, the man wrote the woman back and apologized profusely. The woman felt compelled to see this young man in prison, and she held him as he cried during their first visit. To make a long story short, they became friends, and she became his number one advocate in attempts to release him from prison.

There are not a lot of people walking on the planet as courageous as this woman, but it is an extreme example of what is possible within each one of us. I thought about this woman before I reached out to my Ex with forgiveness in my heart. I sent a gift to my Ex and the woman my Ex left me for, which seemed to pale in comparison to this woman's story. Of course, it took me a little over a year to reach that point, and a lot of soul searching. To this day, I love my Ex with all of my heart on a platonic level. We live in two totally different cities, but still call and send each other emails on occasion as good friends.

I am also in a healthy relationship with someone I am deeply in love with. Next week will be our two year anniversary. I do not think I would be as happy and as deeply in love with this new person as I am now, had I not let go of the anger, bitterness, and resentment I once felt towards my Ex, which is another reason why forgiveness is so important.

A lot of people believe turning off your feelings for a person you once were in a romantic relationship with, or even hating them is a way to show that they are "over" the person. But I believe the exact opposite is true. When you are completely "over" a person, you really wish them nothing but the best - and you are totally detached emotionally from how they act or react. Another point to consider is the fact that love isn't real unless you loved your Ex for the person they are, not the person you wanted them to be. And just because the romantic relationship didn't work out, doesn't mean your Ex isn't a lovable person.


 

 

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heartto Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she criedloudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorceconditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requestedthat every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried herout on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddyis holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted muchmore easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had takenits toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dressesbut could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. Iheld her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears.

I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart. That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me fromthe whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the moneyin the bank. These create an environmentconducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up

Calories are a necessary part of our existence because they provide energy to our cells to perform their functions. One cannot survive without calories because it serves as the body's fuel in order to perform its work. Without calories, our body will not be able to move.

However, too much calories are unwanted because if it is not used up, they are stored and converted to body fats. Body fats are necessary to provide insulation and protection to the body but too much fat causes acute diseases. Thus, we must only take in a certain amount of calories and store enough body fats for us to be healthy. If you think you have too much body fats, then it is time to cut down the extra calories. The question: "How to lose calories?" is then the main concern to maintain a physically fit body.

You may already be aware of the fact that eating the right kinds of food helps in burning calories:

•    One way to lose calories is by taking in caffeine. Caffeine stimulates thermogenesis - the process of releasing heat and energy from digested foods. With plain coffee and tea, the energy in your body is boosted and the calories you take in will not be stored as fats.

•    Eating fruit and vegetables also let you burn more calories when digesting food because of the presence of fiber. Fiber makes fruits and vegetable more difficult to digest than meat, and so you burn more calories when you eat fiber-rich meals.

•    To burn even more calories, make it a habit to eat spicy foods. Capsaicin, the component which makes chilies hot, increases the body's metabolism by 12-20% for 2 hours. All of these would not take effect, however, if you eat too much. You must still watch out for the portion size of your food to regulate your

The process on how to lose calories is also affected by your daily exercise routine. It is better to do cardio training rather than strength training especially when you want to lose those extra pounds. You can do jogging or walking for at least 30 minutes every morning to speed up your metabolism. When at the office, you can also walk around during your break. You should also prefer walking up and down the stairs rather than using the elevator. You can park your car somewhere far from the office so that you will be forced to walk to and from your workplace. All of these small work outs will help you burn more calories in a day.

The place you hang out and the things you normally do also affect calorie burning. Make it a habit to hang out in cold places. Your body will use up calories to produce body heat to equilibrate with the outside temperature. A 3-7% calorie burn increase may be achieved simply by spending some time in the cold. Also, when talking to others, try to be more enthusiastic and make more body or facial movements.

You can burn up to 350 calories a day with these small movements. Some studies also show that people with high metabolism rate are fidgety. So if you want to increase your metabolism, move your body more. All of the above-mentioned things on how to lose calories will certainly be effective if done regularly. And to do so, one must have enough passion and discipline to lose fats.

You cannot blame nature alone for wrinkles and fine lines. Although aging process is natural, you, knowingly or unknowingly, trigger it. Those prolonged sun exposures, cola diets, late nights, smoking moments, and the pressure to meet deadlines are just a few examples from a long list of actions that our lifestyle compels us to do. This, in turn, makes us look older than our age.

When creams work and when they don't  
If you think you can slather large amounts of anti aging wrinkle creams on your face, but continue to lead your unhealthy lifestyle, you are mistaken. This will not work at all. Even the best cream fails to work, if you drink more cola than water, love cigarettes more than your skin, sleep in the morning and remain awake the whole night, and if you find yourself worrying more than enjoying.

Maintaining a youthful face requires more than just a cream. Apparently, when you got no option left and wrinkles have started rummaging your face, you need to apply a cream to bring your skin back to its normal self. This alone will not work though. You need to introduce certain healthy things in your life. Some of them include more water, more sleep at night, and more happiness.

Cream that makes you happy
Well, if you truly wish a smile on your face, you must use top creams, such as the Hydroxatone cream. Many a times, the ineffectiveness of anti-aging formulas available at beauty stores gives women more stress than other things in their lives. This is the reason why you must not always believe what commercials say. Besides, you must avoid mindless use of over-the-counter creams to liven up your face. They may do just the opposite.

Only the top anti wrinkle creams can help you achieve the skin of your dreams that is youthful, glowing, and beautiful. These creams contain potent ingredients needed to repair the skin and boost collagen production. Ingredients like Argireline, Matrixyl 3000, and Hyaluronic Acid are natural-based and scientifically proven to work with the skin's natural mechanism. They help slow down aging without altering the skin's structure.

The best thing about these creams is that they contain moisturizing agents and sun protection factor (SPF). This keeps your skin hydrated, which is crucial for its suppleness and smoothness. SPF shields your skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays and prevents further sun damage to your skin.

It is vital that you stop further formation of aging signs, along with treating the existing ones. This means you need a cream that repairs your skin's fumbled functioning and protects it all the while. A simple, over-the-counter cream can hardly do this. You need some powerful formula, such as Hydroxatone, that repairs, nourishes, protects, and beautifies the skin. Get top anti wrinkle creams and see the difference in your skin.

Keeping up with Olympic events and your favorite athletes has never been easier. Even in the past four years since the Beijing summer games, technology has expanded tremendously. We can follow live events from virtually anywhere.

While we can’t catch each and every live event, we can tune into our favorites with the help of several recently launched apps. NBC released mobile apps for smartphones and tablets in the U.S. this week. The Buddy TV Guide allows you to easily search and find what you’d like to watch. Unfortunately, the availability of some applications depends on a user’s location; for example, the BBC application is not available in the U.S.

Picture the scenario- you are driving along in the lap of luxury, the satellite radio blaring and the heated seats on. You have become accustomed to the comfort level and great driving experience brought to you by BMW.

You decide to stop at the local convenience store on your way home to grab some ice cream for the kids and a bottle of water for yourself. Upon returning to your car, you start it up, check your rear view mirror, put the shifter in reverse and then the unthinkable happens- the engine just revs as if it is in neutral and the car goes nowhere!

This article deals with the reasons behind an unexpected loss of reverse in certain BMW automatic transmission equipped vehicles, specifically the 3 series and 5 series vehicles that use the ZF5HP19 or steptronic transmission. This includes the popular 323i, 323ci, 325i, 328i, 330i, 525i, 528i, 530i, X3 and X5 models well as some others built in the 1999 to present model years.

To eliminate confusion, this does not apply to vehicles equipped with the GM 5L40 E transmission, just the ones with the sometimes problematic ZF5HP19. The 5L40 E has some issues of its own that are beyond the scope of this article but are certainly going to be the subject of another.

The failure rate for these transmissions seems to be very high and is expected to become much more of a problem as time goes by.

Typically, the vehicle is working perfectly while driving forward but when it is put in reverse there is a complete and permanent loss of movement to back up.

Reverse is typically a major feat for any transmission to accomplish- imagine the demands that are placed on a gearbox as it is asked to reverse the torque of your engine so that you can back up your nearly 4000 pound vehicle.

By far, the most common cause of the reverse problem in BMW's is the failure of the D-G clutch drum. Specifically, the snap ring that retains the D or reverse clutch breaks out of the clutch drum resulting in an inability for the clutch pack to apply.

The good news is that there is hope in regards to a proper repair. The factory has released an updated part that so far appears to be a permanent fix for this problem.

In our testing and in conjunction with several hundred successful repairs at our facilities, the new part seems to be metallurgically superior in several ways.

We have found that there is an improved radius area as well as slightly thicker casting. In addition to this, the grove that retains the snap ring is also relocated further away from the edge of the drum.

With this issue addressed and attention to detail in several other areas of the ZF5HP19 unit, the transmission can be repaired to "better than new" condition by a competent transmission rebuilder / remanufacturer. In fact, when properly repaired, the ZF gearbox becomes quite robust and can provide an almost indefinite service life.

In the book of Genesis God created Adam, after creating all living things He found no compatible partner for him buta woman. I beginto wonder why the woman was soon forgotten after she had been created. The bible referred to her as mankind alongside man.
When Adam was to give names to living things created by God he named a fruit "MANGO" but nofruit has ever been named synonymous with a woman. God fed the isrealites in the wilderness with "MANNA" which was also eaten by woman, why was it not called "WOMANNA"? Ever in industries, all we hear is word like "MANPOWER" and woman are also involed in doing the wprk, why is it not called "WOMANPOWER"?. In companies where women control, they called "MANAGING DIRECTOR" why not "WOMANAGING DIRECTOR"?
At the roadside where men and women are working together, you will see on the signboard "MEN AT WORK" and not "WOMEN AT WORK"?
Our Blitez arenot exempted where man have failed us many time you will hear "MANIFESTO" and not " WOMANIFESTO". This is one of the reasons why women are not recognized in politics. We continue to hear "MANGEMENT" of so and so company even when women are thier players; you'll hear "CHAIRMAN" of occasions and not "CHAIRWOMAN" but instead "CHAIRLADY" or "CHAIRPERSON". I visited a hairdressing saloon and what did I hear again? "MANICURE" (treatment of nails) which a man does not do as much as a women does, so I wonder why is it not "WOMANICURE".
In court a personwho kills illeglly is charged for "MANSLAUGHTER" and not "WOMANSLAUGHTER". In zoo, animals like lion and tiger are refered to as "MAN-EATING ANIMAL" whilethey also eat women and it is not referred "WOMAN-EATING ANIMAL".
And if you ask what the concerned people like myself who wonders about the negelect of women in our community, they would describe me as "WOMANIZER"
