Money Saving Tips For Buying Ink Cartridges

By Frank Bolsom

Printer ink is one of the most expensive things you'll have to buy for your computer on an ongoing basis, but fortunately there are ways to save both time and money.

The best choice for buying ink cartridges is to do so on the internet. This obviously save time compared to having to drive to your local computer or office supply store, but it's also often less expensive. You place your order online and they'll be delivered directly to your home or office.

Online ink suppliers offer considerable discounts on their cartridges. And if you buy in bulk you can often save even more money. They often have better selections than the average "brick & mortar" store as well.

Another way to save money on your printer ink is to buy refill kits or recycled cartridges. Most ink cartridges can be refilled at least once, and the cost is often less than half that of a new one.

When shopping for refurbished cartridges, be sure there is a warranty on the product. Some of these are not well made and can harm your printer. Be selective when buying.

If you are going to try to save money by purchasing in bulk it is important to remember that cartridges do not last forever. Be sure you only buy what you can use before the cartridges are no longer any good. You can check with the manufacturers to see how long the ink cartridges will last on the shelf.

In order to be sure you don't buy more ink than you can use you first need to know how quickly you are going through cartridges. Keep track of this for a while before you make your bulk purchase.

Don't buy bulk quantities until you know for sure you can use it all.

Nitnendo DS Lite - worth the money?

By John Davies

In 2004, Nintendo produced Nintendo DS, a handheld game console which most prominent feature is the two-tiered screens, the bottom half of which acts as a touch-screen. Other features include a built-in microphone, backward compatibility with the Game Boy Advance games and wifi-support system.

The system is outstanding, but with the appearance of other sleek and handy gadgets such as Sony's PSP and Apple's iPod, the defect in Nintendo DS has become more prominent: its unsightly bulky design.

When the re-modeled DS appeared in 2006, Nintendo has cleared out this fault. The Nintendo DS Lite was given a smooth and compact appearance, making it look more elegant than the original DS. It is 21% lighter at 218 g and has 42% less volume having dimensions of 133 mm 73.9 mm 21.5 mm. It kept the clam-shell form, and basically the same features, but there are more improvements done for the DS Lite.

The identical 3-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) screens have been outfitted with four brightness-level setting, the lowest setting of which is twice brighter than the original. The colors are much vivid and the images are sharper. Battery life has also been extended. A complete three-hour charged battery packs and brightness set at its lowest level, play time will last fifteen to nineteen hours. Set brightest level, the battery pack will last a fine five to eight hours. The stylus was made larger both in length and diameter, making it easier to hold. The stylus is found next to the power switch for trouble-free access.

The built-in microphone has been moved in the middle hinge, found between the top and bottom screens while the Start/Select buttons have been relocated under A/B/X/Y buttons. The other buttons have been made smaller too. The speakers, still found at the top half of the clam-shell figure, still produce the same quality audio and virtual surround sound (depending on the software) despite its size.

The backwards compatibility allows players to use Game Boy Advance cartridges on the DS Lite. The Game Boy Advance cartridge slot is now found at the bottom of the console, originally covered to avoid dirt and dusts from getting in. Because the DS Lite is much smaller, the game carts will be sticking out of the slot by about 1cm, but this will not affect your game in any way. This backward compatibility also means you practically have access to the vast library of games Nintendo had ever produced, including the classic Mario games, the Zelda series and even Donkey-Kong.

DS Lite also has wifi-capabilities as the original DS, enabling the users to connect online either through a wireless router or via free wifi-access zones. The wireless technology also allows users to connect and play with other players within a local network.

The wonderful thing is, despite the many improvements made, the price had barely changed from the older model, having the suggested retail price of US $129 and 99.99 in the UK.

With the fully re-designed DS Lite, Nintendo (known for constantly re-inventing its products) has done it again and impressively so, at that. From the huge array of game titles available, to the innovative, easy-to-use touch-screen technology, the Nintendo DS Lite is certainly worth buying.

The Popularity of the People Search Business

By Samantha Carterson

Just go over to Google or Yahoo and enter "people search" and you'll discover instantly why this is a highly attractive niche. People searching accounts for nearly a third of all the searches done on these two largest search engines. Whether looking for a missing classmate or just trying to get the lowdown on somebody, the activity is enormous and non-stop. And this particular niche is expected to continue to expand for a long time yet to come.

Exactly how do you get into this business? Well, you could certainly create your own website and then spend years and thousands of dollars to develop your search database, but that method would probably not be very practical for most people. A much easier way is to join an already existing business such as an affiliate program.

It's pretty easy to find these affiliate programs, but how do pick a good one? Well basically, it should contain three elements: easy navigation, easy setup, and great training material.

Don't forget to plan out your marketing strategy. Some training should have been given to you by the program owner, but just in case you didn't receive any, here is my basic marketing advice for promoting your people search engine.

To drive traffic to your site, you need back-links. There are many theories on how best to achieve that, but one effective method is article marketing, and it's free to do. It does require time on your part, but those articles you write can send a lot of traffic your way. Plus the search engines like Yahoo and Google pick them up pretty fast, so your articles appear on the search pages. What's so great about that? Well, your links are in your articles (in the resource box where you make a brief statement about yourself as the author). In addition your articles could very well be picked up and displayed on other people's websites that will generate even more traffic to your site.

Posting ads on free ad forums is another marketing method, at least for those who have the time to do it. It can be effective but it does require a lot of discipline to keep reposting ads all the time. And your ads won't stay on page one very long, so you definitely have to keep reposting them. But it is free to do.

Forums generally will not allow you to post advertising messages, unless it just happens to be an advertising forum. It's a great way to network with others, though, and you're usually allowed to post your link in your forum signature. And always, always, read the forum rules before you post anything.

Next is the topic of paid advertising. The most popular form of paid advertising is paid-to-click with Google and Yahoo being the biggest and most well-known. However, if you are a beginner at internet marketing, proceed with caution, because you can spend a lot of money doing this. And you might lose a lot. Get some help with this by reading some free online articles about Google Adwords. I would also suggest that you sign up for some free newsletters as well. In the meantime, it might be best to stick with free or low-cost advertising as described above.

A fool and his money are soon parted; that is my opinion about purchased traffic. Don't do it, and you won't get scammed. I know it seems like a quick way to get traffic, but these sites that sell their so-called traffic are unscrupulous. Real people will never visit your website, because the traffic is computer-generated by an autobot. Please take my advice on this and do not get suckered in.

Go slowly; take one step at a time, and you will surely achieve success. I wish you all the best.

Tips for Finding Stylish Ladies Clothing Online

By Amy Nutt

When was the last time you battled your way through department store crowds just to find a nice outfit? The noise, the unhelpful staff, searching through racks and racks of clothing to find the right color and size ...it can be a bit overwhelming. And then you have the change rooms, tiny cubicles with doors that rarely stay shut, where you struggle to turn around without knocking your outfits from the dinky hooks on the wall. Store change rooms are often badly lit, as well, so what looks decent in the store might look hideous in the light of day.

It`s a pain to go shopping in a store, which is why more and more women are opting for the online method, instead.

Online shopping makes it very easy to choose what you like. You can search by color, so only your favorites come up, select the style and choose your size from a drop down menu. It`s a far sight easier than searching fruitlessly through racks and racks of dresses only to discover they don`t have your size.

If looking for ladies clothing online seems a bit intimidating, don`t worry. It`s not difficult if you know how and there are some techniques that can actually help you find the right clothing faster.

- Know your style. Do you look better with fitted jeans or flared? Halter top dresses or A-line? Having a clear idea of what you look best in will help you find the right outfit. To help you out, some websites even offer a virtual model that you can customize to your body shape and size and even put your own face on. This can be helpful to see which styles look best on your body type.

- Search specifically for your size range. If you`re petite, look for dresses that are smaller and for plus sizes, be sure to add this to your search. It will eliminate the frustration of finding the perfect blouse, only to discover that it`s only available in sizes that wouldn`t fit you.

- Consider color matching. If you are on a budget or just don`t want the hassle of searching your closet for something to go with your plaid shirt, try choosing a handful of complimentary colors and a couple of accents and base your clothing searches and purchases on those.

- Look for coupon codes. When you find ladies clothing that you like, take a moment to do a coupon code search for that store. You can often save 10-15% simply by inputting a special code when you`re checking out.

- Opt for stores that let you return clothing. This way, you can receive the outfit, try it on in the comfort of your own home, get the opinions of friends and family, if you like and should things not work out . . . just send it back. It`s a hassle free way to check out your clothing and allows you to take your time trying on the clothing. There isn`t any line outside the door and you have plenty of space to change.

Online shopping for ladies clothing is easier these days than ever before. Nearly every store that you would normally shop at in the real world is available online and you`ll be able to take your time browsing, no commute to worry about! With all the advantages, it`s definitely worth doing your shopping online at home, any time of day or night and without all the crowds.

I found an great place for WordPress Themes!

By Russell M. Stewart

Have you decided you want to set up your very own WordPress blog site, but you haven't found a theme that suits you? Take a look at this website I discovered a few days ago that has loads of free WordPress themes to choose from. I was surprised by the themes they had available.

WordPress is very popular with both amateur and professional website designers. It allows a level of flexibility that can't be beat, a long list of plug in modules that change the site to fit your particular desires, and layouts to personalize each site. These layouts are called themes, as you probably guessed.

One of the themes I saw on the site was financial theme. It was designed to be completely business oriented, looking similar to a news service blog. And it was only one of the many themes the site had to offer, covering a wide range of designs.

Having a WordPress site is like having an online publication. You can provide both articles and web pages to visitors, and represent any types of products or services your company may have. By using themes, the site is customized to have the look and feel the owner wants it to have, making each site a unique experience for visitors.

Many people experiment with a few different themes before they are set on the one they like the most. Each theme provides a different appearance to the site, as well as providing different options to the webmaster or site owner. This allows every site to provide a unique experience, and offers many options in how information is displayed.

One feature of a professional WordPress theme is the ability to edit your meta tags, such as the page title and description. This is fantastic for enhancing your site ranking with search engines, and allows you to completely customize the basic definition of what your website provides to visitors.

Your visitors will appreciate a fresh WordPress template. after all, your site isn't just like all the others, so it shouldn't look like them either. Get a new theme, and customize it to suit your company's tastes. WordPress is very flexible, and can be manipulated to create a vast number of variations on any given theme.

By now, you can see how important it is to have a user friendly, customizable theme for your WordPress site. It allows you to present a fresh new look without completely starting over from scratch. You merely plug in a new theme, and your website is automatically updated.

This is mostly important for those who have just begun working as an affiliate for several companies and do not yet have any funding, yet need to built small niche websites to visitors to their site so that they can begin making revenue.

Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.

Problem #1 - Search Engines Search engines will only look down upon your site if it has the exact same duplicated content than other sites. The more sites that share your content, the less it will help you achieve good search engine rankings. Good search engine rankings are essential in getting visitors to your sit so that they have a chance to click on your affiliate links. If you cannot even get visitors, then will never make an revenue. Working on the search engine optimization of your site so that you will eventually be high enough in the results to get customers, should be priority one.

From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

There are numerous article directories out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit.

By Alastair Hayward

Online money making is the modern ultimate venture that is fetching huge profits. This contradicts Christopher Morley's description of worthy while life. He believed that the ingredients of a good life are learning, yearning, and learning. He thought money was a difficult commodity that must be worked for.

Since success is not a destiny but a rugged journey, making money online is a viable enterprise from all occupations. Though it is a preference for mothers, it is a worthy investment for quick bucks.

There are more than thousand ways to make money online. Either you choose full time or part time, working at home is more of an enjoyable and profitable business opportunity. Whenever in need of home business options, you need to think of the benefits and any risks associated with your investment.

Working at home still needs the legal requirements just like those in the office because it is a money generating entity as well. Working at home has difficulties especially when you are a mother because the household chores might disturb your work. You will need a fully functional office in order to separate your domestic work with your business work.

Besides, you need to incorporate legal terms, register your business and acquire necessary skills to manage your project. Understanding that what you sow is what you reap, this gives you morale for higher sales when managing an online business. Most of online money business revolves in provision of services and software-products like articles, computer software, computer designs, essays, mentoring services among others. Selling of domain and business ideas; hosting companies and individual businesses to promote their products and services are other online businesses.

Other services include selling of domains and promoting company products and businesses. Investors are advised to do vetting in order to determine profitable and genuine interests before commitment. Some of the associate programs might be dealing in gambling, gaming, and sale of different products.

Vetting and choice of online associate programs is done through visiting online associate program review sites that gives you the details of all programs.

Most programs official sites will preach their affiliate programs and offer quite competitive offers. However, others just do this as a marketing option. They have so much to tell but not show. Before signing up an online affiliate program, you had better know its benefits for your efforts and resources.

Making money online is now an easy task provided the investor have resources and the will to tackle various hurdles for financial success. Health, books, computer software, computer games, marketing strategies are just a few affiliate programs available.

Do you have limited time and need to learn the Cisco Router quickly? If you answered yes to any of these questions, now is your chance to get immediate access to a Cisco Router Basics Tutorial.

"Why would you want to learn the Cisco router? I'll tell you what happened to me... I went from making $8.00 an hour to $30.00 an hour just by having some basic Cisco Router knowledge!!

Actually, I got pretty lucky... Let me take you back to the early 90's. I had been doing very basic desktop support and some light Windows NT Administration and one day the main Network Engineer of the company I worked for got in a fight with the boss and he walked out!

My boss was desperate yet he knew that I had interest in learning Cisco Routers. He sent me to a 5 day Introduction to Cisco Routers course. I am so glad this company was willing to drop $2000 for this course, but I admit that is a HUGE price tag to learn the fundamentals of the Cisco Router. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining.

$30.00 per hour in the early to mid 90's was a great starting point. I didn't stop there... I kept learning and growing and ultimately started my own IT Consulting company and now charge at least $100 per hour for Cisco Router consulting.

The main point I want to make is this, not everyone has opporunities fall in their lap for a company to drop $2000 for a basic Cisco Router course. I realize that. So what I decided to do was put together the absolute fundamentals that any person needing to learn the Cisco Router needs into one easy to read package at a very affordable price.

Let's face it, knowledge is power! The choice is yours on what you do with valuable information as it becomes available to you. This is valuable information!

Another point I want to make and I'll be very blunt and upfront about it is that Network Engineers with Cisco Router experience make good money! Click here now!

I enjoy helping people grow and learn. I wrote another ebook called PIX/ASA Firewall Keys which has helped catapult many people into greater understanding of the PIX Firewall, and with that comes greater income.

One of the main things I kept hearing from those people who read PIX/ASA Firewall Keys was the request to come up with a very basic guide to the Cisco Router, taught in the same down to earth style. So here it is!

This tutorial is going to teach you the very foundation that you will need to know to make it with the Cisco Router. Once you understand and grasp these concepts you can go on to more advanced routing tutorials.

Of all the comments I get from the readers of my tutorials and ebooks there is one common thing that stands out and this is one that I take great pride in - it is that I break down these concepts in a very simple, down to earth and straightforward way."

10 Ways To Get Hungry Subscribers Reading Your Blog Content

By Yomi A

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers.

These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn''t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don''t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that''s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you''ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people''s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger''s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it''s sort of like your blog telling someone else''s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at http://blogcarnival.com/.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it''s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it''s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn''t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it''s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I''ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won''t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

Mechanical Engineering Design

By Ada Denis

Mechanical engineering designing is a part of the general domain of mechanical engineering. The advent of mechanical engineering and the intrusion of equipment have for the most part redefined human life styles. Mechanized equipment, from tractors and growers to a wide sort of industrial machinery, had determined an explosion in agricultural productivity during the early 20th century. In the process, this promoted a grand shifting from rural to urban life, resulting in the evolution of earlier equipment for the urban economy. Hence mechanistic engineering grown at an ever accelerating rate over the century.

In mechanical engineering, the development of any product necessitates some broad steps as observed below. Mechanical technology design is an entire part of this process and shapes the alternative of the product prepared to a large extent.

Step 1. Key the Idea and Concept

Step 2. Set the Requirements for having the concept.

Step 3. Gain applicable Info on similar productions.

Step 4. The Project Form.

Step 5. Prototypes.

Step 6. Production.

The mechanical technology design phase is perchance the about goodish and thrilling. There are two essential steps to a true design, as excused below. Design is a wise mix of science and art, of analysis and synthesis.

1. Macro level design (conceptual design)

Ever-present the remarkable and very base ideas are measured. Different possibilities of reaching a goal or serving a specific purpose, are evaluated through brainstorming sessions and a detailed but average list of demands, at this stage. Viability and feasibility of the widespread effort in conformity with the goal of the endeavor demand to be taken. As ideas are evaluated, several things should be considered. A clear interrogation of the impact on time and price goals for each conception is also done at this stage. In numerous cases technical innovation is required to accomplish a task. These are spheres of technical reach or PoP's (Proof of Principle).

2. Little level design (principal design or characterization)

This is where the details of the design are put to work out and are composed. This is the level of hard-core design. Most of the technical resourcefulnesses and pluses of the enterprise are best utilized in this stage so that the most-valuable engineering is done in best form. This present looks into -

Attachment to essentials.

Resolving of differences and issues

Review for making up feasibleness.

Build Up Survey

This stage also deals design optimization where every step of iteration of the design is well-tried out to reach the best effect.

One aspect that remains of high significance throughout the process of mechanical engineering design is 'Quality'. It is very grand to have set processes that check quality of the product from a view that can be most alien to the universal product development atmosphere. A complete unbiased and customer adjusted attempt to distinguish quality standards is grand in any engineering design.

Overview Of The Different SAP Modules & Solutions

By Zach Johnson

An ERP system is a real-time business supporting system that provides to the data wants of the whole organization using a sole repository of data (a database) and a very high-tech set of highly-customizable software modules which, together, facilitate decision-making and the activities based on these decisions. This invariably consequences in extremely competent operations and a resultant competitive advantage. SAP, prepared by SAP AG, situated in Walldorf, Germany, is 1 such proprietary ERP system.

The SAP system is organized into whatever sets of 'solutions' (essentially, modules) that speak the information demands of special regions of any corporation's operations. Set on top of these already-integrated personalized modules is the Cross-Application layer, components of which farther see that these different result 'talk' to each other in a cohesive manner.

There is a saying, "If you fail to plan, you are actually planning to fail". Hence, a well introductory point for visualizing SAP is its Project System which deals all activity within the company as division of some project. Placed on occurrent orders (or perceived demand), this module is practiced define projects that will accomplish these orders and start going after them from then on. A regular project would take on a mix of various manufacturing actions as well as whatever associated procurement (raw materials as well as bought-out items). Going After each of such project right from inception, through to its completion and beyond (post-project analysis) is capably addressed by this module.

For project actions that link to manufacturing, the Production Planning module treats the specifics of capacity planning, production scheduling down to the individual tasks on the store floor. This includes handling data on the availability and deployment of human resources, machinery, tools and fixtures, consumables and energy requirements to name a few.

With streamlined production occurs Plant Maintenance which handles preventive maintenance, breakdown maintenance along with the linked down-time of equipment and lost hours of the work-force as well as the time, material and labor necessary for such maintenance.

The Materials Management module interfaces with Production Planning and Plant Maintenance to check a) Timely delivery of materials and b) Reduced cost of inventory. Its range originates with material requisitions (based on Bills of Material emanating from production plans as well as for unintentional purchases) and leads them from placing orders to receipt of commodities, their receiving review (quality control), their being taken into stock and being subsequently supplied for production. This module also treats finished-goods inventory.

The Costing module interfaces with all entity that has a cash value associated with it. It requires into consideration the different cost-centers and all the linked costs : equipment, material, labor and services. The same holds true for the profit centers. This costing module has a provision for product-based costing (which could fail to care particular fixed costs accurately ) as well as activity-based costing which is interpreted more scientific and supplies for cross-functional apportioning of all the drivers of these prices.

The Sales and Distribution module tracks all proceedings from queries, requests for proposals/ quotations and pricing to interfacing with the finished-goods inventory (in factory and warehouses) to picking, packing, shipping and delivery.

The Financial Accounting module logs financial transactions in the electronic equivalent of essential books of accounts, keeps the General Ledger and every last defined sub-ledgers, consolidates all this into the ultimate books of accounts (essentially, Profit & Loss account and the Balance Sheet), addresses tax-related transactions/adjustments and interfaces with book closure. By The Way, most of this is of a statutory nature and has implemented with the country-specific options of SAP.

Asset Management is used for chasing assets from the time they are bought, right through their life-time with regard to their depreciation (and, therefore their current valuation) to the point they are either sold or wrote off.

The Quality Management module, along with the Project System, actually overlaps all another functions and interfaces with each one of them throughout the lifetime of the corporation. Quality, they say is never by chance; it is always by design. That is why this module is used to facilitate all activities that build quality into the organisation's products/services (preventing defects/errors taking place in the first place). This is complete by preparation (essentially, incorporating preventive steps in the organisation's work-flow), fulfilling these quality programs and leading periodic inspections to determine deviations, if several. Important to the company's image and credibility in the outside universe, are actions that leave to the several applicable certifications acquiring which is also managed in effect by this module

This was a simplex view of a very wide application called SAP.

You Have Been DataMined

By Ada Denis

It touches hundreds of millions of us all day while we are blissfully unsuspecting.

Today's advanced universe is overwhelming in data but is starving for knowledge. Data minelaying is the look for for significant designs and styles. It's also been ringed the hard stepchild to statistcial analysis.

To make you an exercise you go to your local supermarket to purchase food and you expend your store card for discounts and fast checkout. It make the store a record of how often you shop, what foods you like and at what prices in this instance it's a win-win place. This keeps thoughout your day as you bank go to the mall, gas station, and so on.

However information is progressively composed without your knowledge or go for. "Black Boxes" the size of cigarette packs have been installed in 40 million vehicles to supervise speed, seat belt use, and more. Only 5 states at the show time want that the purchaser be made aware of this fact.

The trade-off is person has a record of when and where you drive,what you eat, what over the counter medicines you purchase,whether you smoke or not,where you fell and with whom, what you like to read and find out and expend money on.

Any one particular is not offensive but when birth certificates, credit histories, real estate acts, military records, and insurance claims are drew together it paints a very inner picture. Add to the mix that the average person is seen by surveillence cameras 75X a day.

In the last decade an explosion of technology has taken place and the unsatisfied appetite of marketers for information about consumers has made data appeal less voulutary and more worrying.

Data mining is big business. Companies vacuum up data from unrestricted and personalised records, aggragate it examine it and betray it to buyers leading from personalised companies to the CIA. If an error endures there is no knowledge on your part thus it can't be fixed.

Data thieveries are on the uprise taken are banks, credit card companies, and the worst of the data brokers Choicepoint.
When their records were breach they left millions of people vunerable to identity theft.

In ending technology is here to stay and we love convience but we must be alert and stay vigilant. Also it's time for Congress to step up and do their job to make a basic bill of rights for all information. This will provide us with much involved protection.

VoIP Ratings: What They Can Tell You

By Torrie Cantor

VoIP ratings can tell you a lot. If you are looking for a provider, ratings should be one of the first things you should look up. Ratings are typically given from one to five with a full five being the highest. The best VoIP providers would naturally be those that fall within the 3.5-5 ratings.

You shouldn't rely on VoIP ratings only, though. If you are a careful subscriber, you would normally base your decision on more than just the numerical rating. VoIP rating sites should contain a couple of other pieces of information. Here are some things that you should look for in a VoIP rating site:

- Rating sites will not be complete without a review. Some people may not be comfortable about reading lots of text. Sometimes, it's tempting to just take a rating for what is. Then again, you should want to know why particular providers have such a rating. You can get the reasons from the review text.

- Sites for VoIP ratings should publicize reviewers and raters. This is important because you do not want to read reviews and ratings from ghost writers. Some sites could publish bogus reviews with the hidden intent of actually getting customers for a particular provider. Legitimate raters and reviewers may be real technology experts or actual VoIP users.

- VoIP ratings should also have basis. This is especially so if the ratings are provided by technology experts. How exactly do they rate providers? Are the providers actually tested or used? Do raters only base ratings based on what they read too about these providers. First hand information should always be preferred when referring to ratings and reviews.

- An honest reviews should contain disadvantages of a particular provider. You would want a fair and balanced view about providers. One that only praises a provider is of no practical use to you. You would want to know the pitfalls of signing up with a particular provider and what you should watch out for.

- Good rating sites are those that contain a list of provider services. Of course, you can always go to the provider's web page to check what they have to offer. It would be very convenient for you however if you happened upon a review site that has all the necessary details. This will make side by side provider comparison much easier for you.

- The price list is another thing you should look for in a ratings site. It is true that the price should never be your sole basis for deciding. The price still really matters though. It would help if expert raters and reviewers considered the price alongside the features in determining whether a provider can give a good deal.

Unbiased and Independent Ratings - You may not always be able to come across independent VoIP ratings. The ones that really are independent however can really offer you great help when deciding on a VoIP provider. Take some time to research on good independent raters before you sign up with a provider.

Get The Best Price For Your Old Lionel Train

By Philip Stein

It's human nature to want to know what something you have or have created would be worth if you wanted to sell it. Not that you would ever want to sell something that was dear to you of course, but it's still nice to know what you have is worth something to somebody and if god forbid that day came, at least you know you won't get ripped off because you will have all the knowledge you need to make an informed selling decision on the day.

Also, its good to know the value of these things for insurance purposes. I highly suggest that you insure your model trains against theft an fire and any sort of damage possible.

There are three major factors to appraising the worth of your model train collection. Of course the first thing, like any collectible is the rarity of the object in question. Production numbers can be used to do this quite well, but it's not the only way and probably not always the best way either.

A train is rare if only a few were ever produced, but the price also goes up on supply and demand. If there is no demand for this type of train, then it won't sell or fetch a high price. So you see, production numbers can be used, but it's not alway the best way to value you model train or model train collection.

Simple business principles apply here. If there is a high demand for a model train and there are only a few of them around and it's hard for people to find and buy one that they actually want, then this is where top dollar will be paid to you. It's only human to want something you can't have and want, and knowing someone else has that you want and cannot have!

The next factor to look at is the condition the model train is in. Bad condition trains rarely sell for a high price. This is probably not something you will be able to determine yourself especially if you are attached to the train. Try and get an objective opinion from someone you trust and get them to grade the train.
