I've seen companies spend thousands of dollars on cool-looking websites, yet people dread calling them because it's next to impossible to get through to a live person. And I'm not just talking about companies with heavy-duty eCommerce sites who do the bulk of their business online. No, I'm talking about your typical professional services firms (accountants, lawyers, advertising agencies, real estate brokers, etc) who survive-or don't-based on their interactions with clients. More often than not, these interactions are taking place over the phone. While it's great to make sure your business has a strong web-presence, let's not overlook the tried and true phone call as another place to "wow" your...

This may seems strange to you at first, but today I got an email from our support engineer that reads: Hi, When doing spell checking on a list form with the cascading field type, we are getting this error: Please assist Well... I know what you were thinking... this guy has some serious spelling mistakes, right? Thing is, this text wasn’t actually a user input text – it was a hidden text box. You see, for debugging purposes we sometimes use textboxes with style=”display:none” instead of input type:”hidden” fields. While SharePoint Spell Check skips hidden inputs, it does not skip hidden text boxes, so our textbox gets the same treatment as all other user inputs on the page. In our...

Just about any developer working long enough with SharePoint will, at some point, wake up in the middle of the night with the words "Memory Leak" echoing in through their head... No - it is not the cat's fault, and no it does not mean you forgot to take out the trash again... What did happen? You came across one of Microsoft's "best practices" articles regarding disposing of SPWeb and SPSite objects in SharePoint... According to the original MS guidance, every SPWeb or SPSite object you create (or get) that was not initiated within the page's context (i.e. not SPContext.Current.Web and not SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context) ) must be disposed of. It used to be that the "using" statement construct was...

The ever increasing energy greed/need has forced the scientists to look beyond the conventional sources of energy and innovate something which may prove as the Energy Nirvana. The spiraling consumption of conventional energy has resulted in the gradual degradation of quality of air & water which may prove life threatening for future generations. The solution is to focus on the renewable sources of energy i.e. Green Technologies. There are indeed a few commendable progresses during the past 2/3 years in this direction. Most prominent & innovative among them are: - Bloom Box - Wireless Electricity Bloom Box: It is considered as a magical box of the size of a small bread-loaf which will generate enough...

Google AdSense is undoubtedly the easiest way to make money online. Most of the times new bloggers/website owners are not sure as when is the right time to apply for an AdSense account. What is the minimum traffic requirement? How many articles should be there? Is there a six month ownership criteria for the website? Does PageRank play any role? Unfortunately, there's more myth than fact circulating in public domain about Google AdSense account approval. I would like to share my experience for the benefit of website & blog owners who wish to apply for AdSense account. I am a technology blogger from India & received my AdSense approval in less than 3 months of owning my blog. No need to...

If you look around, you will find that more and more people are making their living online. Every single day I get emails about one opportunity or another. Many of the opportunities have to do with health and fitness, dieting, losing fat, fat loss schemes, or cures for pretty much anything you can think of. Over the years I have been involved in a few business ventures. It is hard not to get caught up in the hype and 'shock and awe' of a new product. But in the end, most ventures depend on one thing - your ability to motivate your friends and relatives. Anyone who's been there is nodding their heads in agreement right now. Some people call it the N.F.L. (No Friends Left) club! Some companies even...

One of the most powerful social changes wrought by the ongoing "technological revolution" is the broad distribution of knowledge across the Internet and the proliferation of speedy, low-cost computers and digital devices. These advances have changed the face of education quite drastically, empowering more people in more places than any other form of information delivery. On the other side of the coin is the employment market, which has seen a dramatic surge in "high-tech" careers over the past several decades. What's more, computer technology has invaded every area of life, and even fast-food restaurant employees need some familiarity with computers to hold their jobs. At every level and in most...

Background (General Facts from Case Study) Dell is a computer corporation recognized for manufacturing computer systems through parts assemble. In 1983, Michael Dell saw an opportunity in using IBM compatible computers for a new assembly line that can be sold to local businesses. The idea as explained by Michael Dell, in an interview with Joan Magretta[1], is that in the early days of computers' manufacturing, companies had to be able to produce every part of the system. As the industry matured, companies started to focus on single parts and to become specialized in creating items that can be assembled with other parts to prepare a computer. As a result, Dell understood that to have a competitive...

HR Managers as Boss An HR manager reaches this designation by understanding the human nature and ways to handle situations of discomfort. This knowledge can be acquired either by education or through experience. Understanding of Human behaviour maybe a characteristic of HR managers but how many actually perceive this vision? What every manager expects from his juniors is performance leading to growth. Hence certain targets are notified by the managers for fast progression. The over ambitious HR burdens his employees and their shoulders are not capable of this heavy weight so they are not able to meet the expectations of their manager. Even though the managers have learnt about the human nature but...

You know, I've been writing a fair bit lately about disease. Ever since I started researching alkaline diets and the power of alkaline water on disease prevention, I've been interested in the world of disease. I have a very powerful little application that is able to tunnel into one of the major search engines and find data. So today I decided to just play around a bit with searching the keywords relating to disease. I was shocked by the number of keywords that the application returned to me. There were over 1200 different keywords or keyword phrases related to disease. What is even more shocking is the number of people performing daily searches for disease related information. I imported the...

Earlier this week I spoke about getting into your own online business. I talked about all of the benefits associated with running your own business in this way. I had planed to talk about the speed of technological change - and how that affects us - in a future article. However, on the cusp of the 2010 Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas, I think it would be better to open up that dialog right now. This week some of the worlds most renowned Internet marketers announced the "death of affiliate marketing". You may have stumbled into some of the information if you have been researching online marketing. In this sense, I think there are some things you should factor into your decision-making process at a very...

We have been talking about the "fight against cancer" since the mid 1950s. Every year since the mid 1950s big pharma has increased their advertising for the drugs they sell. Last year big pharma spent nearly $30 billion advertising why you should ask your doctor about their drugs. Given what you now know, are you surprised by any assertion that no one has a real interest in finding a 'cure for cancer'? If you were an economist, you would very quickly understand that it is not in anyone's best interest, other than the person suffering from cancer, for cancer to become obsolete. If everyone in America learns the few tricks it might take to prevent themselves from ever getting cancer in the first place...

Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the woods - WHAM! I had my suspicions, and I had it on my list of things to research, but Dr. Magda Havas beat me to it. What Dr. Magda Havas has found I suspect will change the health care landscape significantly in the next decade. Her revelations are shocking to say the least! Although I have broadly researched and covered the issues with regard to systemic acidity, and explored the health benefits one experiences when they begin to alkalize, this new report by Dr. Magda Havas is quite concerning. It represents an issue that will not be easy to fix or to clean up. Of course, I am talking about 'dirty power' or electro magnetic radiation. But before...

People with water ionizers often ask me how and why they should use pH Drops. One of the biggest concerns for those lucky folks with water ionizers is that they are pretty much stuck with bad water when they travel a lot or when they go on holidays. To get around this problem, a large number of them are now using certain brands of pH drops in order to achieve as close to ionized water quality as they can get. I know that busy office workers can't always be lugging around a 2 liter container of water! Let's face it. That option is just not practical. So while you have a perfect water solution while you are at home, you can often find yourself ruining all that good effort by drinking tap water, or...

If you found this article, chances are your are at least a bit familiar with the concept of alkalinity. For those who may have just surfed into this subject area, allow me to give you a very brief overview of just what is driving everyone crazy in the diet world these days. Way back in the early 1900's a fellow by the name of Otto Warburg won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the study of alkalinity as it relates to cancer. He was among the first scientists who understood that cancer is not a disease. It is not a noun - as Dr. Robert O. Young describes. Cancer is an adjective. That is - cancer is a behavior. If your child jumps up and down and screams his head off in the supermarket, his doesn't...

This short exercise is about something called 'Zeta Potential'. It is important that you understand the basics of zeta potential so that you can fully appreciate what people are talking about when the talk about water and micro-clustering. According to colloidal chemistry, zeta potential is where particulate matter that is suspended in a colloidal solution carries a series of charges that cause that matter to clump together into what are called 'flocs'. Floccation is used in drinking water purification to remove turbidity. Negative charged particles repel each other so that may be more easily filtered out of the water. What happens is that low zeta potentials, which are synonymous with low ORP...

I converted from PC to my Macbook Pro about four months ago. Since I do a lot of Internet marketing, I was a bit concerned about over-working the CPU on my Macbook. I was also quite concerned as to whether or not I would be able to do all of the work I was able to do on my PC. Would I find replacements for all of my programs? One of the first things that I noticed - apart from just being able to open the box and go - was the fact that my Macbook was so quiet. I spent the first three days just installing all the programs I needed to do my business. I managed to replace pretty much everything - with the one exception being XSite Pro. Xsite absolutely rocks for creating high quality websites fast. So...

me point of time in your life you will find yourself in an interview. If you are a highly sought after individual, you may find yourself in several interviews in a very short time frame. Whatever the case may be there are certain rules when you schedule an interview that should be followed for the best results. You should always schedule you interviews between Tuesday and Thursday. If you schedule an interview on Friday you are getting someone at the end of the work week when all that is on their mind is the upcoming weekend. If you schedule an interview on Monday, you are getting the beginning of the work week and an individual who is not happy that their weekend just flew by so fast. In either...

p>I recently began reading a book called "Journeys Out of The Body" by Bob Monroe. I was about half way into the book when I read new scientific reports about dirty power and a potential link to a third form of diabetes called "Type 3 Diabetes." It occurred to me that so much of our world appears to be connected in a special way. Bob Monroe talks about his out of body experiences that began back in the late 1950s. In those days it wasn't fashionable to have all these fancy terms for things. Astral projection is what it was, but there was no way a group of conservative scientists would be caught dead talking about astral projection. So they just called it an out of body experience. When I look at...

These days the multi-touch technology is rapidly expanding and the consumers are enjoying the great achievements made by engineers working in this field.

In order to better picture the future of multi-touch technology, it is important to acknowledge its true meaning and assess its evolution until today. These things being said, the multi-touch system enables people to interact with a computer screen...

The majority of people surveyed in North America said that they drank bottled water because they believed they were getting better water that was both cleaner and safer than water from other sources. Interestingly, there are approximately 2.5 million bottles per hour going into landfills in North America. As far as I am concerned, this is completely unacceptable. So lets examine what you get with bottled water. There are two major factors that put me off bottled water right away. First, most bottled water is acidic. Secondly, all bottled water has a very high ORP (oxidation reduction potential) value. For the ordinary citizen, what does this mean? Lets look at ORP first. North American Standards for...

Finding a suitable role in the sales job market can be a challenging task for most graduates. The main reason for this is because employers prefer to hire seasoned sales professionals who have years of sales training and experience under their belt. Moreover, there are very few sales recruitment consultancies and commercial establishments who are prepared to invest the required time and money into training graduates and graduate calibre people. Over the last decade, sales recruitment firms and agencies have been providing an invaluable service to their graduate recruits and corporate clients. These companies believe that with the right attitude for sales, there is nothing that cannot be achieved...

Even with America's health care system in crisis, there's still a silver lining for some health care professions. Topping the list is nursing, says the U.S. Department of Labor, which projects that registered nurses will outstrip all but one other profession as the fastest growing segment of the U.S. job market through the year 2020. However, many employers are already projecting a shortage of qualified RNs that are needed to fill the many new positions the economy is likely to create. Getting in on the expected nursing boom requires a learn-to-earn mentality. Those interested in nursing as a career can take one of several educational paths on their way to becoming a registered nurse. These include...
