How Your Computer Can Save The World In Its Spare Time

Those of us that have been watching the development of the computer industry for some years may remember that one of the alternatives to massive supercomputers developed ten or fifteen years ago was the use of large numbers of smaller computers working in tandem. The concept involves using a “massively parallel server” that can scale hundreds, even thousands of CPUs to function in cooperation while executing a project that requires enormous computing power. The server essentially allocates tasks, or portions of tasks to different low-level machines and gathers the resultant data for a completed project.

Distributed computing projects are the contemporary version of massively parallel computing. The advent of broadband technology has allowed the usage of machines that are remotely located and that need not be hard wired to the “mother ship,” so to speak. The result has been some fascinating projects that combine digital cooperation in social, cultural and medical endeavors that include any interested party who has the right equipment and wants to participate.

One of the recent projects to make news is an ongoing Stanford University project called Folding@Home (FAH). Stanford researchers are trying to understand a “folding” process that occurs in proteins before they move on to become enzymes or antibodies. The scientists hope that understanding the folding process will enable them to understand why some proteins go awry and lead to afflictions such as Alzheimer’s and cystic fibrosis.

The project requires massive repetitions of the folding process simulations and, therefore, enormous amounts of computing power. Stanford has set up a computer network to perform the repetitious folding and invited participation from interested parties with the communications bandwidth and the computer power to perform properly. Sony has recently announced that its latest Playstation 3 platform will have sufficient power to allow gamers in possession of the new box to participate in the Stanford program. Kudos to Sony for a great marketing ploy and to Stanford for recognizing an unusual and untapped source of distributed computing power.

Another of the more interesting distributed computer projects is being operated by SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It is headquartered at UC Berkeley and is basically engaged in analyzing billions of bits of data provided by radio telescopes operated by the University and NASA. The massive amounts of data requires massive computer power, so the SETI program recruits volunteers with computers to connect with the SETI project and allow the SETI servers to put those PCs to use.

When a volunteer is online, SETI takes control of the computer and uses it to perform analytical functions with the software that has been provided. They also warn that participating in SETI’s distributed computer project has been known to become a serious resource hog - so limit your machine’s participation, if necessary.

The software for SETI and many other distributed computer projects is BOINC, the Berkeley Infrastructure for Network Computing. This operating program basically provides the platform for remote participation in parallel computing projects, and many scientific efforts have put it to work.

If you are so inclined, a few you can choose from include the BBC Climate Change Experiment (global warming); United Devices Cancer Research (screening molecules against cancer protein targets); and Fight Aids@Home (identifying drug characteristics that are resistant to mutations). This last project had a web site in Chinese for its first phase, and completed 9 million tasks using about 1,400 years of computing time on over 60,000 computers.

Mangosteen - The New Wonder Juice That Performs Miracles

I first heard about Mangosteen from my grandmother the last time I went for a visit. I rummaged through her refrigerator and found an odd tall bottle of purple liquid. When I asked her what it was she explained that she had been using the juice from a recommendation given to her from a friend. I warned her not to get her hopes up but she told me not to worry. Let me explain to you something about my grandmother before I continue. She broke her back in her mid 40’s has Multiple Sclerosis that caused her back not to heal properly and scar tissue to set on her disks and spine. She has also recently developed arthritis in her right hand on the index finger and middle finger. Five months have past since that visit and guess what? The pain in her back has shot way down to where she can now walk up right. Not only that but her arthritis in her hands no longer feels as if her fingers are being ripped from the sockets every second of every day. I followed in her foot steps and am now drinking three shot glasses full a day as advised by the instructions.

Mangosteen is a new miracle juice that helps with diseases, pain management, and weight loss. If you’re not familiar with it I will explain what it is, what it does, and how it works.

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that grows in the humid weather of Asia. It can also be found in Canada and Hawaii. It’s about the size of a small apple. In order to open the mangosteen fruit you twist the outside until it breaks apart.

In Asia, people use the rind for medicinal purposes. You can make a tea from the rind that could help with stomach conditions. You can also you the rind as an ointment for skin irritations, such as eczema. Some people have found that by drinking the Mangosteen juice as part of their daily diet can help with arthritis, as in my grandmother who has been drinking the juice for many months. She can finally unlock her hands and is able to straighten them out. She has very little pain now little swelling.

Mangosteen contains natural chemical compounds called Xanthones. Xanthones are powerful healing agents that can only be found in fruits and vegetables, and have been widely studied for their medicinal value. A fair amount of the science said to be associated with Xango is on the benefits of antioxidants which have been well-studied in the past and known to be good for overall health. Nothing wrong with good sources of antioxidants. Most people don’t get enough of them or of nutritious whole foods. So if you are on a poor diet to begin with, taking this product will likely produce some benefits in overall health.

How much does Mangosteen cost? It’s not expensive but it’s also not cheap. Each bottle sales on average from 25-30 dollars plus whatever shipping and handling unless waved. However, I highly recommend anyone looking for an alternative from the day to day over priced medications to give Mangosteen a chance. Your energy levels will pick up, your body will suffer from less pain, and your attitude towards life will change. As you can see, Mangosteen is not just for the elderly but can also be used by younger people for the same or different results.

How to Subscribe to a Podcast

Podcasts have become audio and video versions of blogging. They are delivered by all manner of amateurs and professional organizations (usually news services) and are delivered through a multiplicity of channels. Podcasts are audio or video “bites” that address a particular topic or provide a small segment of entertainment or information.

YouTube and MySpace are loaded with millions of podcasts. Outside the adolescent networking space, there are scores of podcast feeds that put out new “bites” on a regular basis. If you are interested in exploring this new wrinkle in the broadband universe, there are a couple of tools you’ll need to make it all work and several tools to help you find podcast feeds that might interest you.

The principal tool for subscribing to a podcast feed is a podcast or news aggregator. There are dozens of them; many are freeware. Generally a “newsfeed” is provided in either RSS or Atom format; the podcasts that are syndicated are usually uploaded to a web server for delivery. Any web server will do, and there are many services that are dedicated to hosting podcasts exclusively. An RSS or Atom feed provides a URL for subscription, and new content is downloaded whenever the aggregator reads the feed and finds it has been updated.

This is how new content from the feed is delivered to your computer automatically, or at least at the intervals your aggregator is set to check the feed. An aggregator will automatically deliver a podcast from a subscription feed that you have signed up for - generally it will be saved to your local machine and play in the default media player on your PC.

You can find a list of aggregators and where to find them at: www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcast_Software.html. Once you’ve got an aggregator in place, you can go in search of podcast services that might interest you on a regular basis. Like many computer subscription services, you might find yourself dumping a podcast on a particular day because the topic doesn’t interest you or you don’t have time. But the idea is to find a collection of regular podcast feeds that provide information on topics that interest you and to absorb that information in audio or video format.

Once you have located a website offering a podcast service, you’ll generally find a button that will make you a subscriber. Click it, and you’ll find regular downloads appearing in your aggregator, generally found on your desktop by its icon or by an RSS orange button. You can organize your podcasts into folders and either view or listen to them at will. If you are go on a subscription binge and then neglect the daily aggregate of material that’s being automatically downloaded, you’ll be piling up megabytes in a hurry if many of those podcasts are of the video variety.

As with websites, podcast directories began appearing the moment podcasts took hold as a mainstream Internet communications device. One of the oldest, largest and best organized podcast directories can be found at www.ipodder.org/. The site breaks out podcast feeds by category and provides folders for you to browse. Ipodder is a commercial product - an aggregator - but its website can be highly informative. If you want to review the A-to-Z podcast material from the site, you can find it in an online article at www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1817856,00.asp.

Podcast Alley has a directory that provides good detail on each podcast it lists. It also provides a section on podcast software and some recent high profile podcasts for a casual click. Visit the site at podcastalley.com/. Other directories include www.podcast.net/ and, of course, the dynamic duo: www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Podcasts/Directories/; and podcasts.yahoo.com/.

How To Give Great Mothers Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is a holiday in which we all celebrate the one who gave birth to us. Each of our mothers has given so much of herself in terms of time, work, effort and love to make sure that we grew up safe and sound. This is one day of the year that is special because we get to pay honor to our mothers, and remember all that they have done for us. In light of this, you will want to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift for this special lady in your life. Great Mother’s Day gifts that are sure to please her are Mother’s day gift baskets. These sorts of gifts can be suited to her specific likes, and they make for a beautiful presentation that she is sure to like.

Since you know your mother so well, you are in a perfect position to create a gift basket that includes all the things she likes. If your mother enjoys sweets, your basket could be brimming full of gourmet chocolates, candies and gorgeously decorated cookies.

Perhaps your mother lives for that first cup of coffee. You could arrange a basket for a coffee lover, including several types of great-tasting coffees, a beautiful new coffee mug and even a book of crossword puzzles for something to do while she drinks her coffee.

If you really want to pamper your mother, you could craft a basket that is full of luxury spa items. Gifts such as great smelling shampoos and conditioners, bath gels and soaps, facials and body sponges would all be appreciated, and will last long after the one-day celebration is over.

Another gift idea is to plan a gift basket around a particular theme, something that your mother enjoys doing perhaps. If she likes to play golf or tennis, for example, you could fill a basket with the appropriate gloves, tees, balls, and all manner of accessories that will delight her. If she is a gardener, you could do a basket with gardening supplies, such as small hand tools, seeds, a colorful flower pot, even a gardening book. If she loves to read mysteries, you could include several volumes, along with small food items mentioned in the writing for a glorious basket. Any sort of activity in which your mother enjoys participating is fair game for a great themed basket.

One of the joyous aspects of a gift basket is its presentation. If you select colors that your mother likes, you can not only fill the basket with gifts in these hues, but then also wrap and ribbon it in those shades. These little touches let her know that you put thought into her gift, and it shows that you care.

Pay-Per-Click - Formula For Success

Is There Really A Pay-Per-Click Formula For Success?

Affiliate marketers are keen at finding ways to get merchants in front of potential customers. There’s article marketing, building niche websites, forum marketing, social network marketing, and pay-per-click, to name a few.

Which Formula Is Right For You?

Each of these marketing strategies varies widely in the amount of time and money invested to capture targeted traffic to merchant goods and services. For instance, forum marketing and social network marketing require very little time or money. Article marketing requires no investment of capital, but can take a great deal of time depending on how efficient you are as a writer. Building niche websites is even more time-consuming, plus you have to shell out funds to purchase a domain name and cover hosting fees. All of these methods are great ways to earn income by driving targeted traffic to merchants who pay a commission on each sale you generate for them.

But there is another highly lucrative business model that you might want to consider. Now be warned, perfecting this method is not easy. Simple mistakes in your execution could cost you hundreds of dollars. But if you can decipher the formula, pay-per-click advertising, or can pay off handsomely.

More specifically, we’re talking about the pay-per-click to cost-per-acquisition business model, also known as PPC to CPA or traffic brokering. If you have been in the internet marketing arena for any length of time, you have at least a general idea about the marketing methods discussed above, but very little is talked about or even known about using PPC to drive laser-targeted traffic to lead offers. Now generally, CPA offers pay less than a few dollars for each lead generated, but if you know the formula for capturing pay-per-click traffic that converts, there is the potential to make hundreds and even thousands of dollars a day.

The method behind using PPC to drive traffic to high-converting CPA offers is to get your pay-per-click ad in front of as many qualified visitors as possible. There are many different underground techniques to do this (they are “underground” because a very large majority of PPC marketers do not use or even know about these strategies). Now, you shouldn’t be buying ads targeting general keywords and phrases, that would be silly. Not only will you get tons of untargeted traffic, your ad costs would be astronomical. What you want to do is target some of the lesser-known search terms – terms that even the most savvy PPC marketer wouldn’t think of bidding on. You essentially want to cast a wide net which targets as much traffic as possible, while keeping your costs as low as possible. This is the key to creating the perfect pay-per-click formula.

Why Is Pay-Per-Click to CPA Info Hard-To-Find?

There is very little information on the Internet about PPC to CPA marketing. Maybe it’s because this method is so new and smart PPC marketers are still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Or maybe it’s so obtuse that there is no one right way to do it. The most likely reason is this – the guys making the big bucks have secretly discovered the ideal pay-per-click formula and are keeping it all to themselves.

How To Select The Perfect Wedding Photographer

If you’re getting married then first of all, we want to say Congratulations to you and your future spouse. We think it is absolutely wonderful that the two of you have found your soul mate and that you’re now ready to begin your lives as a couple. Although you’re probably looking forward to the big day with much anticipation and excitement, you need to put much thought into selecting your wedding photographer. In fact, hiring a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you have. After all, once the wedding is over and everyone has gone home, the only tangible thing you will have to represent your wedding day are your wedding photographs. So, doesn’t it make sense that you will take much effort in selecting your wedding photographer? We certainly think so. In this article, we’ll teach you how to select a wedding photographer.

1. Evaluate the Photographers Portfolio: Every photographer has their own unique style of picture taking. Some are more traditional and others are more modern and edgy. Choose a photographer that matches your unique style. Chances are if you do not see anything in the photographer’s portfolio that really grabs you, this is not the photographer for you.

2. Watch your Budget. Develop your budget and stick to it but don’t forget to consider such hidden costs such as location fees, overtime, extra print charges and package inclusions. Discuss all hidden fees before you sign on the dotted line. Also, make sure that you compare rates in order to get the best value for your money.

3. Ask for referrals. Photographers develop a reputation, good or bad so it is important to ask around and see which photographer is well known for professionalism and quality of work. Ask friends, family and acquaintances who they would recommend.

4. Check for Compatibility. It may seem like a minor detail when you are looking for a photographer but on your wedding day with all the stress and nerves, it will be very important that you choose a photographer that you are compatible with. Choose a photographer that is easy to get along with, will deal with your wedding guests in a professional and friendly manner. Part of the job of the wedding photographer is to make you at ease on your wedding day so that the photographs are as perfect as possible. If you don’t like your wedding photographer during the planning stages and his/her personality bothers you, that feeling will magnify on your wedding day.

5. Know their skills and check equipment. Inquire about the type of equipment your photographer will be using and who will be doing the photofinishing. You want to make sure you select a wedding photographer that uses modern and reliable equipment which will insure that your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Also, some photographers do their own photo development while many send your film out to a professional photo developer. Either can be fine as long as whoever is taking care of your wedding photographs is a professional and has the skill to develop high quality wedding pictures.

In conclusion, you can select the perfect wedding photographer if you evaluate the photographer’s portfolio, watch your budget, ask for referrals, and make sure that they have a complimentary personality, and that they have the right equipment and technical skills. Once you do this, you can hire them and enjoy the moment.

How To Start A Free Home Based Business

There are thousands of people that get into internet marketing every year and many of them just don’t have the sufficient funds to start their own business. Because of the many opportunities that the internet provides, it is very possible to start a free home based business. It will require extra work to get it up and running, but it is possible.

One of the easiest ways to make money from a home based business without spending a penny is through article writing. There is a plethora of websites on the internet that need content to sell their product. You would be surprised by how many people are willing to pay for quality content. If you can produce the content they are looking for, you can generate the business.

The best way to approach article writing is to post in forums as much as possible. Let people know that you exist and have articles ready to send to them if they ask for article examples. You can also become known by submitting as many of your own articles as possible. Then, place your website address or email address in the resource box so people have a way to contact you.

Another home based business that you can make money off for free is through affiliate programs. There are literally thousands of affiliate programs to choose from that you can potentially make a large income from. Once you make enough money, you can invest that into other internet marketing methods. The more paths you have money coming from, the better off you will be.

Lastly, one of the oldest internet marketing methods for setting up a free home based business is the selling of advertising space. All you have to do is put company ads on your website and you make money from people clicking on the ads. There are several sources that you can contact to make money from this, but Google Adsense is by far the most recognizable.

There is no question that it is much easier to get rich from internet marketing when you can invest money into your business from the start. However, this is not to say that you have no hope if you can’t invest any money in the beginning. Article writing is by far the most effective method to making money from a free home based business, but selling ad space and promoting affiliate programs have their advantages as well. As long as you have the determination and are willing to put in the effort, you can make it in internet marketing without spending a penny.

Flash In The Platter - Hybrid Hard Drives

A hybrid hard drive (HHD) is a standard hard drive fitted with a large buffer or memory cache that does not require a spinning disk to record data. This “non volatile” form of flash memory is included in the HHD in increments of up to one gigabyte, resulting in a hard drive that basically functions to back up the memory cache.

The “platters,” or discs in a hybrid hard drive are thus required to crank up and spin only when the buffer memory is filled or when the computer operator is moving extremely large files around. The result is that for normal computer operators, the hard drive is actually spinning a fraction of the time that the computer is in operation, compared with one hundred percent of the time for a standard hard drive.

The advantages of this format are several. Because the HHD is actually turning only ten percent of the time or less, the computer consumes far less power and generates far less heat. These features are particularly valuable in a laptop that is operating on battery power. It is also true that laptops have been somewhat limited in the video horsepower they can handle due to heat generation. Any reduction in heat for a laptop is going to allow for the expansion of available features.

When the computer operator is working only off the buffer memory, the result is also increased speed. The reverse is true, however, when it is necessary to search and retrieve files stored on the hard drive itself. That requires the discs to get up to speed and the search software to execute its function, a process that is somewhat slower than with a computer equipped with a standard drive.

Proponents also note that a motionless hard drive is a silent hard drive, thus reducing the noise output of the computer. Wear and tear on the hard drive is also greatly reduced by this engineering concept, resulting in longer life for the hard drive - and, in all likelihood, its computer. One of the potential downsides for HHDs, however, is the fact that most of the wear on a hard drive and the majority of its power consumption occurs during “spin up.” That means the constant starting and stopping could create power usage and wear that is not currently part of a standard computer’s function.

There is also the possibility of data loss in the event that the computer crashes. A flash memory device loses all data when it goes down. A hard drive, on the other hand, can often be coaxed to produce “lost” data from a crash - a process that usually requires an expert, but that is a possibility nonetheless.

Samsung and Microsoft have collaborated on a hybrid due for introduction in 2007. While Samsung is the world leader in the production of flash memory devices, it is unclear what role Microsoft is playing in the product rollout - other than nosing its way into yet another market segment.

Hiring Online - How to Have Your Own Pet Monster

Internet usage for employee recruitment has come about through a few channels. In an effort to retain customer (and advertiser) loyalty, newspapers have developed online versions that include the “help wanted” ads which have long been their bread and butter. At the same time, sites like Monster and Career Builder have become major resources for both employees and employers, each site warehousing millions of resumes and tens of thousands of job listings. Finally, companies have made it a practice of posting available jobs on their web sites, for their own human resources staff to use.

Executive search firms are also an established web presence, advertising positions that they have been hired to fill. Theirs is perhaps the most targeted approach, as they have the luxury of being well paid to fill a relatively small number of positions. Monster and Career Builder both have templates for both applicants and employers to fill out, in order to match needs with skills. This electronic process is a beginning, but because of the size of the employment marketplace on these sites and the web in general, sorting by keyword and phrase is really just a rough beginning.

Perhaps the latest development in online recruiting is the development of software designed to provide HR support for corporations. Taleo (www.taleo.com) is one such firm: a subscription-based service that allows an employer to “build a custom career site and manage applicants, résumés and requisitions quickly and easily.” Their service provides online automation and analysis of a company’s recruiting and hiring processes, promising to improve “workforce visibility and insights.”

Their services are a sophisticated software-driven process of matching skills with job requirements prior to the introduction of HR staff resources to the process. The argument is that personnel costs are always a company’s major cost, and that the recruitment process is a significant portion of that expense. Their service thus not only improves the process but makes it cheaper.

Fasthealth Corporation (www.fasthealth.com) is an example of an automated HR system devoted to a single market segment. This service provides an “online Human Resources Center” for healthcare professionals. Fasthealth has a testing and questionnaire procedure that allows applicants for any job through any healthcare facility using the service to be processed through their servers and ranked accordingly. It also provides an online resource for health care HR offices that can be accessed from any desktop computer.

Fasthealth calls their service “paperless hiring.” Their system is designed to be sufficiently thorough that much of the guesswork involved in HR decision making is eliminated before candidates reach the interview stage. Because it is an industry-wide, specialized service they are in a position to develop a resume database that can be available to multiple facilities. Just as job seekers are given handfuls of tips on how to make their talents visible, this service notes that “you must have a marketing angle to get your job postings high traffic.” They make the point that quality healthcare workers are in high demand and that use of their software will not only provide exposure, but ensure quality hires.

These are two examples of variations on the use of “customer relations management” software in the personnel field. It’s a form of data mining, in that the programs provide sufficient variables for both applicant and job description that quality matches are possible. And they are only two examples; many more are in the marketplace or soon to appear. Resumes and cover letters seem to be going the route of the daily newspaper: according to Monster.com online recruiting accounted for less than one percent of hiring in 1996 and 22 percent in 2004. It’s a function that is only going to grow.

Picking The Perfect Wedding Favors

Having wedding favors at your wedding will be expected by most of your guests, and although you do not have to have them, they are a great gesture. Finding the perfect wedding favors can be a bit harrying, since you will no doubt be trying to find favors that are within your budget. While you will probably want to be sure that you give your guests a great favor to remember you day by, you also want to make sure that you do not overextend your budget. The following are some tips that will help you end your search for the perfect wedding favors.

Avoid Last Minute Purchases

If you decide to wait until the last minute to start thinking about your wedding favors, more than likely you are going to end up paying far more than you want to. Starting to look for favors months before your wedding can help you make sure that you find the favors you really like for a great price as well. You also want to order your favors early so you are sure that they arrive on time for your wedding.

Themed Favors

If you are having a themed wedding, one very obvious choice is to look for wedding favors that will go along with your wedding. For beach weddings, you may want to use favors that include sea shells, star fish, or maybe even a sandal shaped candle. If your wedding is being held in the winter, you may be able to use small Christmas ornaments or decorations as favors, which will look beautiful while being fairly inexpensive as well.

Broaden Your Horizons

Many brides get bogged down trying to find favors that go along with their specific wedding them. Unfortunately, you may be missing some great favors by not broadening your horizons. Take the time to look at favors that do not necessarily go with your theme, and you may be surprised what you can find.

Consider Making Your Own

One way that you can save money while still giving your guests great favors is to make them yourself. If you have a particular craft that you are great at, or even if you are just good at following directions, there are a variety of different wedding favors that you can make yourself. If you are afraid that the task may be too big for you, get your bridesmaids and family members involved and have a girls night making favors for your wedding.

The most important thing to remember about your wedding favors is that you want them to be remembered by your guests. Years from now when they stumble upon your favor tucked away in a box or drawer, you want them to remember you and your wedding day. Use these tips, and you are sure to find wedding favors that will make you and your day unforgettable.
