Green Alternatives to Commercial Household Cleaners
Posted on February 5, 2010
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Do you wish you could pitch all those harsh commercial cleaning products and use something “greener”? Here is a video explaining how you can make your own cleaners out of ordinary things found in just about every typical home.
Recent studies have compared the incidence of asthma in homes where commercial household cleaners are used on a regular basis to homes where such cleaners are not used. In one study the researchers found the product users were up to twice as likely to develop asthma.
But then this is what we should expect isn’t it? Most household cleaners contain chemicals that are toxic to our bodies – as well as the environment. Isn’t it completely predictable that our bodies would react in a negative way to these chemicals?

Why Light Bulbs Burning Out
Posted on February 1, 2010
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
You may have heard of a situation like this. About ten years some major renovations were done in several rooms of a local Location 3 home. In one of the rooms none of the light bulbs in the pot lights have been changed since day 1. In another of the rooms they burn out regularly – some of them every few months. It doesn’t make sense, does it?
Have you ever wondered why some light bulbs keep burning out while others keep working for years? All bulbs have an average life expectancy, but there are factors that make it so that some bulbs never last as long as they are supposed to.
If you compute the average life of your bulbs and discover it’s clearly less than the manufacturer’s rated life, then you may have one of the problems outlined in this article called Why Light Bulbs Burn Out So Quickly.

Why Use a Real Estate Agent
Posted on February 1, 2010
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
It is not exaggerating to say that buying a Waterloo Region home is very complicated and very serious business. Most people don’t know where to begin.
The difficulties arise because a home purchase or sale is more than just your typical financial transaction. There are legal aspects that are unique to purchasing a home that require the assistance of professionals such as mortgage advisors and lawyers. A real estate agent’s job is to handle these complex matters and relieve you of the stress involved in dealing with these mysterious requirements.
But most Kitchener-Waterloo real estate agents do much more than deal with these complicated legal matters. Showing homes to prospective buyers is and important part or a real estate agent’s job. This goes well beyond simply showing homes. It involves asking the right questions, noticing potential hidden problems, and evaluating how different homes match the requirements of specific buyers.
A real estate agent brings buyers and sellers together and guides them through the transaction. When you hire an experienced Kitchener-Waterloo real estate agent you are hiring someone who knows the ins and outs of the process intimately. It is not an exaggeration to say that someone unfamiliar with the process can easily make mistakes or fail to notice something that can cost many thousands of dollars.

Stay Connected with Cheap PC-to-Phone Service
Posted on January 30, 2010
Filed Under Business News, Internet | Leave a Comment
If you make international business trips and carry a laptop computer than PC-to-Phone service is a great way to stay connected while on the road. As long as you have an INTERNET connection, you can make cheap international calls from any location to other computers or to any phone in the world. Calls to other computers using the same PC-to-Phone software are often Free while there is a charge for placing calls to phones (landlines or cell phones). The rates vary depending on the country and the type of phone called but rates are much lower than those charged by international hotels or long distance carriers. PC-to-Phone service is also popular with students, expats and people who operate small businesses with an international focus.
PC-to-Phone service providers continue to add new features that make their product more flexible and convenient to use. For example, Skype, one of the most popular PC-to-Phone service providers, offers free calls to other Skype users and the following added features.
- Low rates on calls to landlines and cell phones.
- An online phone number so people can reach you on Skype from any phone.
- The ability to send text messages from Skype.
- A built in Voice Mail feature so calls are never missed.
- Call forwarding that forwards incoming calls to a regular phone when the user is off-line.
- Mobile applications so Skype can be used from Mobile Phones.
Skype has continued to innovate and add features in order to broaden the appeal of their service.
We think Skype is a great option for people who want to make free calls to other Skype users. However, Skype’s international rates on calls to landlines and cell phones are not as low as other cheap international calling options. In addition to a per-minute charge for each call, Skype also charges a connection fee for each call made to a land-line or cell phone. In order to evaluate the relative cost of making international calls to landlines or cell phones with Skype, we compared the international rates charged by Skype to those charged by Tel3Advantage for the same call from the USA. Tel3Advantage was selected for this comparison since it is a high quality prepaid calling plan that can be used to make low cost domestic or international long distance calls from any phone without changing companies and it is very popular with those who make frequent international calls from the USA or Canada.
We compared Skype published rates (excluding their connection fee) to those charged by Tel3Advantage to the following popular destinations.
A Comparison of International Rates* (US cents per-minute)
| Destinations | Skype | Tel3Advantage |
| Afghanistan | 40.8 | 22 |
| Brazil | 6.4 | 3.6 |
| Mexico | 11.4 | 6 |
| Morocco | 29.6 | 17.5 |
| Nigeria | 18.5 | 13.5 |
| Philippines | 22.8 | 10.5 |
| Saudi Arabia | 28.2 | 10.5 |
| Thailand | 13 | 1.5 |
*For calls originating in the USA – Rates posted on the respective company websites on January 23, 2010.
In general, it seems that rates charged by Skype on calls to landlines and cell phones are higher than those charged by prepaid long distance providers. This makes sense since they do not make money of the free Skype-to-Skype calls they provide or the free software people can download from their website. They do provide a high quality niche service that is ideal for a segment of the market but it is not the best option for everyone.
How the Barcode Scanner System Was Invented
Posted on January 29, 2010
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Barcodes are everywhere today, but it hasn’t actually been that way for very long. Bernard Silver and Norman Woodland started working on the idea in the late 1940s. Previous attempts at developing a similar system using punch cards never caught on due to the prohibitive equipment costs and the Great Depression.
Silver had a fairly clear idea of what needed to be done and he was obsessed enough to use his own money to find a system that worked. The first system he and Woodland developed used ultraviolet ink, but it proved both too expensive and untrustworthy, as the ink faded. He was then inspired by Morse code and later claimed the first barcode design he created was in the Florida sand. He simply elongated the dots and dashes of Morse code to create what would later become the barcode design.
He then used technology developed for movie soundtracks to read it, but was moved to change the box design to a bullseye so it could be read in any direction. In 1949, the pair applied for a patent they received in 1952. By this time they had started working at IBM whose initial evaluation of the project concluded it was feasible but needed specific technological developments before it could be commercially viable.
It didn’t help that the prototype barcode scanner reading device set the paper ablaze either, but it did work. Still, IBM’s report proved accurate, as the 500-watt incandescent bulb was simply too much. The prototype was simply too large, and the technology for reducing it in size was unavailable in the 1950s. IBM attempted to buy the patents from Silver and Woodland, but they eventually got a better offer from Philco. Unfortunately Bernard Silver died in a car crash the following year.
Meanwhile it was becoming clear that barcode scanning technology could be used by grocery stores who were trying to maintain the right amount of inventory, and railroads struggling to keep track of their many cars. The railroad industry, still very strong in those days, adopted a system similar to the barcode
The system used for rail cars was the work of David Collins working along with the Sylvania company. Collins tried to interest Sylvania in a smaller version of the system which could be used on anything, but Sylvania turned him down. Shortly thereafter Collins left Sylvania and co-founded the Computer Identics Corporation. Around the same time Philco sold the barcode patent rights to RCA.
By the late 1960s we were beginning to see the forerunners of todays “big box stores” and they needed more convenient and reliable ways to control their inventory. Manufacturing companies also needed this type of technology.
The first installations made by Computer Identics were relatively crude systems placed in a Michigan General Motors plant and a warehouse in New Jersey owned by the General Trading Company. Meanwhile at RCA they were working on a laser-guided barcode system which was first installed at Kroger for testing. By the 1970s IBM became involved in barcode technology development again and put Norman Woodland in charge of their project. The rest, they say, is history.

Another means of pursuing compensation is by using wrongful death claims. With a Chicago personal injury lawyer or someone who is familiar with your state’s laws on wrongful death, you can often show that the accident did not CCCCCCC have to occur.
All in all, there are quite a few measures for going after compensation when someone passes away. The money won’t bring back your brother.
