Reasons why Harry Potter was the best.

5 Comments


In an interview J.K Rowling said that , before taking the first book to publishers she had checked and rechecked the whole book 10 times .After its birth, it faced a lot of denials from almost about 20 to 25 so called prestigious publishers. And ultimately J.K Rowling had no option other than to try her luck with the Bloomsbury , a not so famous publisher during that time.
                          And the book started to show its magic. It was such a book that it got the whole kids of the world into reading. Not just one or two pages, or a review, but a hefty huge novel.

Reasons :- 

1) Use of simple language -

The first book of Harry Potter uses the simplest language. It seems that our writer was clever enough so as not to choose to be some sort of professional writer and use the complex words which would just slip off head. Rather she used simple and understandable words which could be understood by the kids , and of course adults and the pros . In this way she targeted a huge section of people.

2) Main charachter defenition - 

Our Harry Potter from the begining was shown as a pathetic and miserable boy who used to live with a sort of family who treated him like a waste.He was a very simple child who had no other choice other to accept his miserable condition.All those hate by his uncle and aunt and being bullied by his brother you know.  His condition is further contrasted by the living condition of   his  , who was too much loved and cared by his parents. And the kids would defenitely loose their hearts to such a boy.

3) The excitement of magical elements - 


One reason why the kids would choose to read the book is the excitement to explore the magical world. J.K.Rowling uses the element of excitement after each two to three steps. She introduces a new object and totally new creatures ,with new charachteristics, which is defenitly enjoyable to explore and imagine. As much deep you go into the exlporing the more enjoyable it becomes.

4) Rythemic use of tension and relief - 


This is the same idea that you would get by seeing the movies of Martin Scsorce. He is the very famous director and uses the same style. And his movies too is one of the best selling. 

5) Rich use of food articles - 


If you have read the book  you might have come across many delicious food articles ,  few being chocolate drinks warm your body, candies, of course the brown cakes, cookies and  delicious beacons and hams. These have sublimal effect especially on kids , which positively conditions their brain makes them to read the book further.

20 Serious ways to earn money online.

1 Comment
 

               

Blogging

If you're a passionate closet writer who wants to be published but can't find a way to do so, make each keystroke your way to wealth by penning your own blog. Starting a blog doesn't require extensive technical skills but it's important that you have expertise in the field you are writing on. This will attract visitors to your site. Building a large following will enable you to earn profit by luring advertisers, writing paid reviews or getting commissions for promoting other people's products.
Paid Writing

If maintaining a blog is difficult for you but you still want to indulge your passion for writing, you can jot down articles for other blogs or sites such as Weblogs, Helium or PayPerPost. Writing an e-book can also be a good option. E-books are investment free, with no cost for printing and shipping. If you have a strong command over languages, you can become a copy editor, where Webmasters will pay you to read articles and correct grammatical errors, sentence fragments, etc.

e-tuitions/Webinars

The demand for tutors is high and growing. So, if you like helping others learn, e-teaching could be the earning ticket for you. All you need to become an online tutor is expertise in your subject and a few spare hours per week. TutorVista, e-tutor, SmartThinking and Tutor.com are some of the sites you can enroll with. If you gain a good reputation as a coach, you could even conduct Webinars-lectures or seminars transmitted over the Net. College and university students are willing to pay to gain entry to a well-respected Webinar.

Affilliate/Reseller

For those who have the knack of selling, one of the best ways to make money online is to become an affiliate/reseller. An affiliate is a person who gets a commission for selling every product that he promotes, whether on his Website or through any other avenue such as eBay. You don't have to own the product. You only need to sign up for an affiliate program with a company and start selling its products under your referral link. Firms such as Commission Junction or Click Bank have a large pool of products.

Buying/Selling domains

Buying and selling domain names is another way to make money from home and requires very little investment or time. You can buy domains at their registration prices or even cheaper and trade them at a profit. However, always research on sites such as sedo.co.uk, afternic.com, ebay.com or other domain auction sites to get an estimate of the hottest selling names. The best way to find good ones is to use terminated domain lists, which contain several expired names that are back in the pool.

Freelancing for Professionals

Freelancing is a great option for professionals who are experts in their respective trades and know how to ensure customer satisfaction. Various freelancing and project-oriented sites allow companies that need help to describe their projects. Freelancers and small businesses offer bids, ideas or proposals, from which the buyers can choose what they find most suitable. Websites such as Elance cover everything from programming and writing to data entry and design, while RentACoder focuses on software programming.

Advertising

You can sell space on your Website or blog for advertisements and you earn when these ads are clicked by visitors to your site. The sorting and placing of ads is free. The profitability of pay-per-click advertising depends on the traffic level of the Website and, most importantly, on the clickthrough rate and cost per click. Google AdSense is the most popular option, while others are BidVertiser, Text Link Ads and Blogads. Direct banner and RSS feed are some other forms of online advertising.

GPT Programme

GPT or Get-paid-to sites are becoming increasingly popular among teens. You get paid for signing up for free Websites, newsletters, playing games and filling out online surveys. These are suitable for people who don't have a skill set but want to earn extra money. Taking online surveys is simple- register with a few legitimate, paid survey sites and answer questions. The topics range from shopping to politics. This might not help you make a living, but you can earn good pocket money. Contests2win is one of the trusted GPT Websites.

Online Marketing

Once a Website is created and optimised for search engine (SEO), the SEM or Search Engine Marketing begins. A treasure trove lies hidden here. An SEO/SEM expert, who is responsible for marketing a Website, can promote it in various ways. These include article marketing, writing press releases, forum posting, blog posting, submitting your site to directories and search engines, social bookmarking, etc. Most companies don't do this in-house and pay you to conduct the SEM for them.

Making themes

As more and more people seek an online presence, the demand for Website templates and WordPress (Blog) themes will keep increasing. If you are good at Web designing and coding, you can earn a lot from designing Web themes. In this segment, there are mainstream Websites, such as TemplateMonster and ThemeForest, which act as a marketplace where you can sell your themes. Templates are sold and priced depending on the rights and features that are bundled with them.

Selling photos

If you enjoy photography and are good with a camera, you could be sitting on a huge reserve of revenue. There are people who will be interested in your collection of images. Nowadays, it's easy to take your photos to the public, providing a convenient way to build a secondary income stream. Many stock photo agencies, such as Fotolia, Dreamstime and Shutterstock, offer incentives for people to earn from their photos.

Support & service

Providing coding or fixing other Webmasters' issues is another great way to earn extra bucks. There are simple jobs ranging from adding a script to setting up sites, but knowledge of Web coding is essential. One can offer support for Web CMS (content management systems) like Drupal or Joomla. After you are comfortable with your own installation, you can help other people to set these up and configure them.

Stock/forex trading

Joining the stock/forex market may seem a bit risky. However, you can start small and continue researching till you gain experience in this area. Once you do, it will be easy to earn from exchanging foreign currencies and/or stocks. Their rates fluctuate depending on supply and demand, and economic and political influences in the world. The aim of any trader is to spot which currency/stock is likely to rise or fall in value against another. The more time you put in, the more you will earn.

Selling your own brand

If you have a flair for designing cool images, don't bother about creating your own inventory. As long as your design can be printed on a product, you can pocket some money. You can upload designs on various Websites such as CafePress, and if somebody orders these designs, the company will print them and distribute the products. It could be designs for T-shirts, hats, bags, books, posters, calendars, greeting cards, etc. You will receive a commission for each sale. Other such sites include Lulu and Zazzle.

Virtual Assistant

Small businesses always need help in running their processes, but may not be willing to hire a full-time employee. As a virtual assistant, you are expected to perform practically any administrative task that a traditional secretary or assistant would, such as make travel reservations, handle expense reimbursements or pay bills. You can do it from the comfort of your home, interacting with clients either online or by phone. Your expertise will decide how much moolah you rake in.


Inbound call centre

Many companies, who are facing space constraints, especially those in metro cities, prefer to hire workers outside their offices or outsource certain processes. You can set up an inbound call centre at home to handle such jobs. Research different companies that are outsourcing their work as they may have opportunities for inbound call centre agents. You can work for more than one company. This can be either a part-time or fulltime engagement, depending on your need.


You Tube

If there's a dramatic performer hidden inside you who craves applause and adulation, upload yourself on YouTube. You can be a filmmaker, musician or comedian who wants a wider audience. Your earnings will come from ads displayed on your video page. This process is similar to the pay-per-click advertising program common to other Websites and blogs. Sites such as Flixya and Mediaflix can be helpful in this regard.


Researching for others

Don't be morose if you can't write, design or code. Lack of talent cannot stop you from making money online. If you're willing to work hard for a few hours a week, you can take up simple research jobs for other people who don't have the time to do it themselves. You could search for opportunities in organisations that provide funding for research and offer to assist them through online investigation.

Building Applications

With smartphones gaining popularity, the demand for their applications, or apps as they are popularly known, has also shot up. There are over 3 million apps for the iPhone and over a million apps in Google's Android market. Most of these are selling like hot cakes. Developing and selling your own smartphone app is becoming a lucrative way to make money on the Internet. Apps cost virtually nothing to develop and entail no storage or shipping costs. So they enjoy the best profit margins.

Transcription

Medical transcription involves making written copies of oral material dictated by doctors or other medical experts. These may include history and physical reports, clinical notes, consultation notes, reports, letters, psychiatric evaluation and so on. The dictated material needs to be transcribed swiftly and accurately, which is the most challenging aspect of the job. To become a medical transcriptionist, you need to have a good knowledge of medical terminology and a high typing speed along with accuracy

"Alchemy" the so called science of GOD.

Be The First To Comment




Are you among those guys who have heard this word for first time ? If yes then you are mentally
asleep. Whatever ...! "Alchemy" can be considered as the science of GOD. How ? Let me explain it to you. The subject matter includes the reference from real old books like the Old Tesatement of Bible itself, and guess more - the very respected Vedas from India. For those who have never heard of veda, it is the real old book of India. The information containing in veda is considered to be directly revealed(there was no research done). So you might get the idea of its potential. And rest of the references is taken from the great peaple such as Plato, Aristotle , Jesus Christ, and Gautam Buddha.
             The references are used in these field to crystallize out some of the points which forms the basis of the Universe , its creation, spirit, and everything around us , from physical to spiritual.
So if you have some undigested questions regarding any matter, better do some research, and "Alchemy" is your keyword.
                                If you are considering this "Alchemy" thing as bullshit then for your information, the discoverer of gravity, and the three laws of motion Mr Issac Newton himself was once an Alchemist. And those 20 years work that his dog burnt, were the work of an "Alchemy".
It is said that he was working on "The philosopher's Stone" and "the elixir of life" .And have you ever heard the word "ether" from the mouth of Marconi. Well that's the same word we use in Alchemy to define the thing "which is present in empty space".
                                         So I hope you will get a lot of answers under this subject. If you want any of your questions answered by me, then post your questions below. And I will try to answer, or either give you the links.

Finally, YouTube Upgrades Its Comments

1 Comment










As we know that the Youtube is the World's no 1 video sharing paltfrom in which there are Lots of things to do. where we can generate money too...except uploading video and buffering video's.
The comments under YouTube videos are not exactly renowned as a location for rigorous intellectual debate, and chances are they never will be. But the Google-owned video service is now taking steps to bring more important and useful comments to the fore — and to let the channel owner automatically delete comments with certain words.
"There's a lot of room for improvement," said Nundu Janakiram, YouTube product manager, when asked about the current state of comments. "So comments will soon become conversations that matter to you." (Here's his official blog post on the changes.)
YouTube already offers a "top comments" section for the most upvoted comments, but they can still often be irrelevant to the video in question. Starting this week on channel pages, and rolling out slowly to video pages by the end of the year, reverse chronological comments will fall away entirely.
You'll start to see a new set of comments rise to the top: those by the video's creator, "popular personalities" (i.e., YouTube celebrities), "engaged discussions" with a long thread, and people you know and interact with — both on YouTube and Google+.
So no two users' YouTube comments section will look quite the same, and Google will be offering another reason for you to use its still-not-quite-popular social network. (You'll be able to post YouTube comments to Google+ automatically, along with the video, by checking a box.)
The Google+ integration also allows you to post a comment that will only appear within a given social circle. And if you're not keen on circles, you can select specific users who will be the only ones to see the comment. In other words, you and your friends can have your very own YouTube comments section, and make it as dumbed-down or intellectual as you like.
Finally, channel owners will get the ability to create a blacklist of certain words that they don't want to see appearing in the comments under those videos. Comments containing those words will be sent to purgatory, pending moderation.
Will this help improve the tenor of YouTube's community? Let us know what you think — in our comments section, of course.

Scientists discover ‘black holes’ at sea

1 Comment

Washington: Some of the largest ocean eddies on Earth are mathematically equivalent to the mysterious black holes of space, scientists say.
These eddies are so tightly shielded by circular water paths that nothing caught up in them escapes.

George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, and Francisco Beron-Vera, Research Professor of Oceanography at the University of Miami, have developed a new mathematical technique to find water-transporting eddies with coherent boundaries.
The challenge in finding such eddies is to pinpoint coherent water islands in a turbulent ocean. The rotating and drifting fluid motion appears chaotic to the observer both inside and outside an eddy.

Haller and Beron-Vera were able to restore order in this chaos by isolating coherent water islands from a sequence of satellite observations. To their surprise, such coherent eddies turned out to be mathematically equivalent to black holes.
Black holes are objects in space with a mass so great that they attract everything that comes within a certain distance of them. Nothing that comes too close can escape, not even light.

But at a critical distance, a light beam no longer spirals into the black hole. Rather, it dramatically bends and comes back to its original position, forming a circular orbit.
Haller and Beron-Vera discovered similar closed barriers around select ocean eddies. In these barriers, fluid particles move around in closed loops similar to the path of light in a photon sphere. And as in a black hole, nothing can escape from the inside of these loops, not even water.

It is these barriers that help to identify coherent ocean eddies in the vast amount of observational data available. The very fact that such coherent water orbits exist amidst complex ocean currents is surprising, researchers said.
Because black-hole-type ocean eddies are stable, they function in the same way as a transportation vehicle - not only for micro-organisms such as plankton or foreign bodies like plastic waste or oil, but also for water with a heat and salt content that can differ from the surrounding water.

Haller and Beron-Vera have verified this observation for the Agulhas Rings, a group of ocean eddies that emerge regularly in the Southern Ocean off the southern tip of Africa and transport warm, salty water northwest.
The researchers identified seven Agulhas Rings of the black-hole type, which transported the same body of water without leaking for almost a year.

Haller points out that similar coherent vortices exist in other complex flows outside of the ocean. In this sense, many whirlwinds are likely to be similar to black holes as well.
The study was published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

THE STORIES BEHIND THE PRODUCT IDEAS


“Inventing is a combination of brains & materials.
The more brains you use, the less material you need.”


- Charles Kettering:

American inventor, businessman, & the holder of 186 patents.

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes

Inventor – The Kellogg brothers, John & Will.
Inspiration – After a pot of boiled grain was accidentally left on the stove for several days, the mixture turned moldy but the product that emerged was dry & thick. The brothers eliminated the mold part, creating corn flakes.

Kleenex

Inventor – Kimberly-Clark Company
Inspiration – Developing creped wadding for its first ever consumer product, Kotex, the manufacturer changed the ingredient blends & using different pulps, were able to make a softer crepe. From this, the idea of Kleenex facial tissue was born.

Band-Aids

Inventor – Cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, Earle Dickson
Inspiration – His wife Josephine Dickson was always cutting her fingers in the kitchen while preparing food. Earle decided to invent something that would stay in place & protect small wounds better.

Frisbee

Inventor – Walter Frederick Morrison
Inspiration – He & his girlfriend tossed the circular lid of a popcorn tin around in the backyard to pass time before Thanksgiving dinner.

Velcro

Inventor – George de Mestral
Inspiration – Fed up with removing cocklebur seeds from his dog & jacket, he put one under a microscope to discover the secret of its stickiness. He found velours (French for loops, in clothing) & crochets (hooks) on the burs. Taking the first syllables of the words, he replicated the fastening phenomenon synthetically to create Velcro.

Slinky

Inventor – Naval engineer, Richard Jones.
Inspiration – He was working with tension springs when one fell to the ground. That spring kept bouncing from place to place after it hit the ground, & the slinky was born.

Post-It

Inventor – 3M designer,  Art Fry
Inspiration – Frustrated by errant hymnbook page markers at choir practice, he realized the need for a low-tack sticky note. Applying 3M’s weak glue invention to yellow paper, the Post-It was born.

Under Armour

Inventor: Kevin Plank, football player for U of Maryland
Inspiration: Noticing that the cotton T-shirts he & his teammates wore underneath their pads were always soaked & heavy with sweat, he felt that there must be some better material out there for their specific needs.

Spanx

Inventor: Sara Blakely
Inspiration: One night before going out, to eliminate “grid butt” created by regular underwear, she cut the feet off of her pantyhose to wear under tight fitting white slacks.

Crocs

Inventor – Scott Seamans, George B. Boedecker Jr., Lyndon “Duke” Hanson
Inspiration – Finproject N.A. created a waterproof & bacteria resistant, proprietary plastic known as “croslite”.  Made into clogs for use in European day spas, Seamans saw its potential for boating shoes.

iOS 7: Release date, new features.

1 Comment
 At their annual developers’ conference in June this year Apple finally unveiled iOS 7: the most dramatic visual overhaul of the company’s mobile operating system in its six year history.

Starting from tomorrow the new software will roll out onto Apple’s devices, though only from the latest models onwards, starting from the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and latest generation iPod (scroll down to the bottom of this article to see a chart of all compatible devices). In addition, iOS 7 will of course be available on the new iPhone models – the 5S and 5C – from their release date on 20 September.

The update is a big change for Apple; firstly in terms of design language (it’s ‘out with skeuomorphs’ and ‘in with flat design’, as the parlance goes) but also corporate responsibility (this is the first iOS overseen by Jony Ive, previously Apple’s lead industrial designer).

The update will be available to UK Apple users from 6pm this evening, with the download easily found under your iPhone or iPad's setting menus. Just navigate from 'General' to 'Software update' and you're all ready! Might be best to update over Wi-Fi to save on your data charges though.

It's also a smart idea to back-up your device just in case something goes wrong (small chance - but better safe than sorry). You can do this via iTunes or iCloud - head over to Apple's support site for more detailed instructions.

Meanwhile, let's have a look at what new functionality is being added with the update:

The new look

Although the new look of iOS has been covered pretty exhaustively (click here to read our own, pretty exhaustive, take on the flat 'movement') it’s safe to say that the design is a simpler iOS.

Versions 1 through 6 of the operating system embraced 3D effects from textures to drop shadows, and those inimitable skeuomorphs (‘metaphorical’ bits of design that refer back to older consumer products – think the leather stitching on Apple’s diary), but iOS 7 has dropped these in favour of flat, colourful icons and layered design.

The control center is key to introducing 'layers' to iOS 7; you can swipe it up at any time, with the 'frosted glass' effect reminding you you're only a step away from whatever you were previously doing.

Extra control



One of the most obvious new layers in navigating iOS 7 is the control center (accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen at any time) a long-needed addition to Apple’s smartphones. Android users have had quick access to toggled settings (Wi-Fi, Airplane mode and Bluetooth for example) for a while now, though Apple is expanding with sliders for volume and brightness, basic music controls and quick access to the camera.

Building on this greater sense of control is an improved approach to multi-tasking (again, some might note, a long-time Android strength) including the ability to double-click on the home button to bring up full-page previews of your currently running apps.

A subtler subtle change is how the new iOS will handle data downloads, with users now offered the option to trigger automatic data downloads from messages and emails instead of having to wait till the moment you load the relevant app. Downloads are also lumped together and only start when you’re in a good signal area – saving your phone’s battery by  having it fruitlessly searching for non-existent data connections.

The overhauled Photos app - with the new automatic albums on the left and the redesigned camera interface on the right.

Better photos, better photo albums


As with the overall look of iOS 7 the camera app has had a striking makeover, with a new minimalist black and white layout and its own all-caps font. Users can now take pics in a suspiciously Instagram-like manner, with filters built as well as a square-format offered (I would excuse Apple for this by saying that you can’t really patent a square – but Apple did try to patent a square with rounded corners).

Other software changes include the addition of Moments, Collections and Years for the Photo app – automatic groupings of your photos that will create albums that match, say, a day and a location so you get all the pics from your weekend trip to Brighton in one place.

The real changes to the camera though will take the latest iPhone to unlock. The 5S offers HD video recording at 120 frames per second and slow-mo playback; a burst capture mode that takes up to 10 frames a second; and True Tone flash – a dual amber and white LED flash that makes for more accurate colours and natural-looking skin tones.

The re-designed Safari includes better navigation through tabs and pages, as well as a new Smart Search field (to auto-complete search terms) and an iCloud Keychain, to store all your passwords in one place.

Going on a web Safari


Apple’s in-house browser Safari does pretty terribly in terms of market-share on desktops and laptops, but it’s always been one of the best – if not the best – mobile browser. Along with the rest of the OS it too gets a visual update, with new minimalist icons for navigation, but there are also changes to how you manage tabs and bookmarks.

In recognition of the complex multi-tasking users now demand from their mobiles the Safari browser is no longer limited to eight tabs, and switching between windows has been revamped with a 3D scrolling effect. Bookmarks get the best changes though; with a new function that collates updates from Twitter streams and the like, meaning you don’t have to keep switching about with your apps.

AirDrop shows contacts nearby - simply click their portrait and select a file to send (pictures or a phone number for example). Apple promise everything will automatically slot into the right place on your handset.

AirDrop's made for swapping


It's been around on MacBooks and iMacs for a while, but with iOS 7 AirDrop is finally going mobile. It's essentially a built-in app for swapping files with other nearby Apple users. The interface looks incredibly simple and easy to use, but we've yet to see how reliable the service is.

Files are shared via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and users can toggle their visibility on and off. You can automatically be seen by people in your contacts list but - if you want to live a little dangerously - you can opt in and be visible to anyone in the vicinity. Turning it on and off is easily done via the Control Center.

And of course, the update will also be coming to iPads and iPad minis.

Conclusion


This list is a pretty brief one but it does indicate that iOS 7 is more than just a visual makeover, it’s a fantastic update of the iOS system. And this is without even mentioning a wide array of other changes including Siri updates (male and female voices! Integrated Wikipedia and twitter results!); the introduction of iOS in the Car (though we’ll have to wait for manufacturers to really integrate this better); and the launch of iTunes radio (a free streaming music service to rival Spotify, Rdio and the like - only available in the US for now though)
