how to write a perfect personal CV

Writing the perfect CV

Employers sift through dozens of job applications when looking for the right candidate and only the best CVs get to the interview stage. So how do you get it right?

What is a CV?

A Curriculum Vitae (or resume as they're sometimes called) is a written record of your education, qualifications and employment. Most job advertisements will ask you to send a CV and covering letter so the employer can quickly sort the potential candidates from the less-suited applicants. The CV is therefore not just a documentary record of your career to date but also a chance to sell yourself. Consequently, spending a little time getting your CV right is well worth the effort involved.

How do I write a CV?

First of all, have a think about what attributes you have which make you well suited to the job. Take a few minutes to plan what you want to write before typing it up. Start by jotting down an outline of the CV by hand. Don't sit straight down in front of a typewriter or word processor until you understand clearly what skills you intend to 'sell' with the CV. Different positions may require different versions of your CV. Keep the job in mind when you're writing your CV.

What should I include?

The CV should be divided into specific sections covering personal details, educational background, employment history and interests and achievements.

Personal details

Always include:

• your name
• address (or where you can be easily contacted)
• telephone number
• date of birth

Sometimes you may also be asked to include:

• driving licence details
• marital status
• health

Education background

You should list all schools, colleges and specialist courses attended together with the relevant dates and grades. If you leave the grades off, the worst is usually assumed and potential employers will think that you are trying to hide something.

Employment History

Finding the balance between writing too much or too little is the key here. Getting this right can be hard but recruiters hate wading through pages of paper no matter how interesting and vital you think the information is. Equally, they don't want to have to second-guess what you have been up to for the past few years simply because you have not included enough information.

Show your employment history in reverse chronological order and your most recent position should be the one that is covered in most detail. Outline your main responsibilities and try and show progression and achievements.

How should it look?

Your CV should look clean and sharp. Ideally, use black ink on white (A4) paper. Clearly mark each section with a section heading and ask a friend to check the grammar and spelling before you send the CV. Avoid fancy fonts, decorations, photographs or presentation folders - it is the content that is really important.

Does length matter

Absolutely. Keep it brief - but not too brief. Two to three A4 sides are usually best.

What writing style should I use?

You should write in the first person. Stick to the point. An employer wants to identify your key skills and experiences by glancing at your CV. If it is hard work to get this information you will be passed over.

What else?

When you think you have finished, turn the tables on yourself. Pretend the CV belongs to someone else and you are the employer reviewing it. Be critical.

valentine history

Valentine's Day History

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.

In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's and now the date is very commercialised. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

valentine history (st val day)

The History of Saint Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.

Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god. On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed.

The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavoured to do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feaSt. So it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines, or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.

valentine history (st valentine story)

St. Valentine's Story

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!

Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.

One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.

I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.

One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."

I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!

valentine history (traditons)

Valentine Traditions

Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home. One verse they sang was:

Good morning to you, valentine;
Curl your locks as I do mine ---
Two before and three behind.
Good morning to you, valentine.

In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!

Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.

Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.

If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.

6 steps to teach ur dog how to stay

How to Clicker Train a Stay

Introduction:

Clicker training a dog to stay will make this behavior more reliable off leash and at a distance than using leash corrections or constantly repeating the word "Stay".

Things You'll Need

• Clicker savvy dog
• Clicker
• Treats

Steps:

Step One

Ask your dog to sit or lay down close to you. You may want to have them on a leash or tether to minimize the possibility of mistakes.

Step Two

Give the hand signal for stay. This is usually done by holding your hand in the same way a traffic cop orders traffic to halt--with your arm extended in front of you with your wrist bent so that your palm is facing your dog and the back of your hand is facing you. You may also use the word "stay" but use it once and do not chant stay, stay, stay...

Step Three

Count to three. If your dog does not move, click and treat. If he moves try having him stay for only 1 second at first. Do this step a few times, increasing the amount of time you wait to click by 2 seconds on each repetition.

Step Four

When your dog will hold the stay position for ten seconds, give the hand signal and take a step to the side. Click and treat him if he does not move. Continue adding steps until you can get about six feet from him. Reward his behavior for staying still when you step away by clicking and treating.

Step Five

Increase the duration of the stay behavior gradually by delaying the click. When your dog has a solid stay for a two minutes add distractions such as people walking by or staying in another location. If your dog will not stay with a new distraction, try something less stimulating for a little while until the behavior is more reliable.

Step Six

Your dog should not get up without hearing a release word once he has learned to stay. Select a release word that you will use every time it is okay for him to move from the stay position. Pair it with the clicker for a few training sessions until he knows that the word means he is released.

5 steps to teach ur dog hot to stand

How to Clicker Train a Stand

Introduction:

Using clicker training to teach your dog to stand can be useful during vet visits, for dog shows, and when you are in a busy environment with your dog. Clicker training a dog to stand will make this behavior more reliable off leash and at a distance than using leash corrections or pulling him up by his collar.

Things You'll Need

• Clicker savvy dog
• Clicker
• Treats

Steps:

Step One

Clicker train your dog to stand using a food lure. With your dog in the sitting position in front of you, hold a treats just in front of his nose.

Step Two

Move your hand away from his nose slowly. As he comes to a standing position, click and give him the treat. Ask him for a sit and you can do another repetition.

Step Three

If his stay behavior is very strong and he is hesitant to stand, click and treat him for moving his head toward the treat.

Step Four

When he has successfully stood 3 times, do the same steps without a treat in your hand. Have the treat on a table, or in your pocket. Place your hand above in front of his nose, move it away from him, click and treat when he stands.

Step Five

To add a verbal cue for this behavior, say the word "stand" wait three seconds, give the hand signal you have been using. Click and treat when he stands. Do this three times. Wait longer between the verbal cue and the hand signal. Say "stand" one time, and wait. If you do not get a response in ten seconds, give the hand signal, click and treat. Eventually your dog will grow impatient of waiting for the hand signal and will respond to the verbal cue.

7 steps to teach ur dog how to sit

How to Clicker Train a Sit

Introduction:

Clicker training a dog to sit will make this behavior more reliable off leash and at a distance than using leash corrections or pushing his back end down with your hand to get him to sit. Clicker training a dog to sit can also be done using more than one approach.

Things You'll Need

• Clicker savvy dog
• Clicker
• treats

Steps:

Step One

The first way to use a clicker to train your dog to sit uses a food lure. With your dog in the standing position, hold a treats just above his nose. Move your hand back between his ears. His nose will go up, his bottom will go down. When his backside touches the floor, click and toss the treat to the side. He will go get it and you can do another repetition.

Step Two

When he has successfully sat 3 times, do the same steps without a treat in your hand. Have the treat on a table, or in your pocket. Motion your hand above his nose, move it back towards his ears, click and treat when he sits.

Step Three

To add a verbal cue for this behavior, say the word "sit" wait three seconds, give the hand signal you have been using. Click and treat when he sits. Do this three times. Wait longer between the verbal cue and the hand signal. Say "sit" one time, and wait. If you do not get a response in ten seconds, give the hand signal, click and treat. Eventually your dog will grow impatient of waiting for the hand signal and will respond to the verbal cue.

Step Four

The lazy trainer way of clicker training your dog to sit is really easy and very effective. Grab your clicker, prepare a bowl or bag of treats or kibble, and find a place to sit. Wait for your dog to sit. When he sits, click and toss a treat so that he has to get up to go get it. Repeat this process several times.

Step Five

Once your dog is sitting every time he looks at you, add the verbal cue "sit" as soon as he begins to sit. Click and treat.

Step Six

For a nervous dog, you may want to try shaping the behavior. This is done by clicking and treating the beginning of a sit. Do not talk to the dog. Smile at him, watch closely without staring at him. Click any behavior relating to sit such as lowering his bottom, raising his head, lowering his tail, or dropping his ears. Repeat this a few times.

Step Seven

Raise the bar in the next training session by only clicking actions that are closer to the sitting position. Within a few short sessions your dog will be sitting each time he sees the clicker. That is when it is time to add the verbal cue in the same way described in step 5.

4 steps to teach ur dog high five action

How to Clicker Train a High Five

Introduction:

Teaching your dog to do tricks reinforces obedience and strengthens your bond with your dog. Clicker training a high five is fun and easy. This behavior can also be varied to become a "shake" and a "wave".

Things You'll Need

• Clicker savvy dog
• Clicker
• Treats

Steps:

Step One

Begin clicker training a high five by selecting which paw you would like him to lift and click and treat the movement of that paw only. Do this for a few minutes and take a break.

Step Two

Click and treat only paw lifting. Once he seems to understand that lifting his paw is the correct behavior, you may now place your hand near his paw, and wait for him to touch it.

Step Three

Click and treat your dog for lifting his paw while you have your hand near him.

Step Four

High five Cooper!

Click and treat only when your dog's paw touches your hand. Once he does this consistently, you may add the verbal cue "high five". Say the cue as you click the behavior.

6 steps to calm down a dog

How to Calm Down a Dog

Introduction:

Some dogs are excessively hyper. This could be because of their age, their breed or their individual personality traits. But all dogs, even the calmest of breeds, occasionally will have times when you need to help them to calm down. Read on to learn how to calm down a dog.

Steps:

Step One

Get exercise. It could be that one of the reasons your dog will not calm down is simply because he has too much unused energy. Many dogs today are lavished with love and affection but are lacking in play and exercise. Take your dog for a walk or go outside and play in the yard for awhile. When you come back in the dog might be able to calm down.

Step Two

Set the tone. Dogs take their cue from the environment and others around them. If the children are running around and the television is playing loudly the dog might not want to calm down for fear of missing out on the fun. Settle down yourself and make the house quiet to see if the dog will calm down.

Step Three

Teach the "Calm" command if your dog often has trouble calming down. Hold the dog still while saying the word "Calm" or "Calm down." If the dog stays still, reward her for her behavior. Continue practicing the calm command until she can calm herself when the command is given.

Step Four

Yawn at the dog. A dog will yawn to calm himself if he is feeling stressed. When he is having a hard time settling down, try yawning yourself for a few minutes. The dog might settle down when he sees you yawn or he might start yawning himself and then eventually settle down.

Step Five

Massage the dog. It is not necessary to do deep muscle massage. Starting at the dog's head and working your way towards the tail, gently rub the dog's skin in circular motions. Eventually the dog will lay down to enjoy the massage.

Step Six

Give her a Kong. The Kong is quickly becoming known as a doggy pacifier. Fill the hollow Kong with peanut butter or put in some of your dog's favorite food and freeze it. It will keep the dog busy for awhile getting the food out. The Kong also provides mental stimulation, helping them to relax and calm down.

4 steps to use an external mouse with ur laptop

How to Use an External Mouse with a Laptop

Introduction:

Though a laptop computer gives you the option of using a built-in mouse, you should carry an external mouse as well, especially if you use the laptop for long hours. Having an external mouse makes navigation more convenient. Here’s how to use an external mouse with a laptop:

Steps:

Step One

Determine the type of port your laptop has. Most old laptops have a round port, called a PS/2. If your laptop doesn’t have a PS/2 port, it will have a USB port; this is the type found in most new models.

Step Two

Buy a mouse that is compatible with your laptop's port.

Step Three

Connect your PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 port. Alternatively, connect your USB mouse to the USB port. Configure the device using the setup wizard.

Step Four

Another option would be a wireless mouse. Be sure your laptop and the wireless mouse are compatible. For instance, if your laptop is Bluetooth enabled, you can easily connect a Bluetooth wireless mouse. Insert batteries into the mouse, connect the wireless receiver to your computer and install the software.

15 steps to extend ur laptop's battery life

How to Extend Your Laptop's Battery Life

Introduction:

Laptop's these days have an annoying habit of running out of juice right when you need them.
Follow these tips to get the most out of your Laptop's battery.

Things You'll Need

• Time
• A Laptop

Steps:

Step One

Defragmet your hard drive regularly - The less your hard drive spins - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly.

Step Two

Dim your screen - Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra battery juice.

Step Three

Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn’t crucial when you’re on battery.

Step Four

Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.

Step Five

Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.

Step Six

Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming.

You can even use programs like Microsoft's Virtual CD ROM program to make a file to use like a virtual CD.
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.html

Step Seven

Keep the battery contacts clean: Clean your battery’s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.

Step Eight

Take care of your battery - Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects)

Step Nine

Hibernate not standby - Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn’t save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC’s state as it is, and completely shut itself down.

Step Ten

Keep operating temperature down - Your laptop operates more efficiently when it’s cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner.

Step Eleven

Set up and optimize your power options - Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect).

Step Twelve

Don’t multitask - Do one thing at a time when you’re on battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3’s, set your mind to one thing only. If you don’t you’ll only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed!

Step Thirteen

Go easy on the PC demands - The more you demand from your PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you’re got a single battery charge - pick your priorities wisely.

Step Fourteen

Get yourself a more efficient laptop - Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix

Step Fifteen

Turn off the autosave function. MS-Word or Excel’s autosave functions are great but because they keep saving regular intervals, they work your hard driver harder than it may have to. If you plan to do this, you may want to turn it back on as the battery runs low. While it saves battery life in the beginning, you will want to make sure your work is saved when your battery dies.

7 steps to choose the right laptop

How to Choose a Laptop

Introduction:

The size and portability of a laptop is the most popular reason that people choose to purchase one. Like its desktop counterpart, a laptop computer has many possibilities in terms of price and performance. Here is your guide to choosing the laptop that is right for your needs.

Steps:

Step One

Think about how you want to use your laptop in order to decide on performance specifications. If you enjoy making home movies, for example, you should select a laptop that comes with a recordable DVD drive and a large memory to hold your films. But if you travel frequently, it is worthwhile to choose a laptop that comes with a built-in wireless Internet card.

Step Two

Decide on the screen size you prefer based on your usage. Gamers should choose a screen that's wide enough to capture all the exciting graphics while students should opt for something smaller and easier on the eyes. There are many sizes out there so pay close attention to what works for you.

Step Three

Visit an electronics store that carries a wide range of laptops. Take some time to get familiar with the size, price and weight of several different models. Just because an expensive laptop is smaller than the cheaper ones does not necessarily mean it is lighter or better.

Step Four

Inquire with the manufacturer or salesperson about upgrade options. Technology changes rapidly and your laptop should be able to last many years if you have the option to upgrade memory or disk drives.

Step Five

Ask about about details that are often overlooked such as battery life, connectivity ports and networking capabilities. These factors can seriously impact the way you use your machine, so choose a laptop with a nice balance of all three.

Step Six

Go online to check if any competitors are offering the same computer for a discount. If so, you may be able to bargain with another retailer and get the price you want.

step seven
Consider an extended warranty. Due to their size, laptops contain parts that are crammed into a tight space with many complex connections and, unlike desktop computers, their delicate parts do not come apart easily. If something goes wrong, you can look to your extended warranty to cover unexpected costs.

Tips & Warnings:

• A salesperson will invariably try to make you purchase a laptop that is loaded with extra features you will never use. Stay conscious of your needs and be firm about the price you are willing to pay.

11 steps to protect ur apple laptop

How to Protect an Apple Laptop

Introduction:

The moment you buy your new, sleek, shiny Apple Laptop, make sure you take the precautions necessary to protect your investment. There are a number of factors you’ll have to consider, including theft, data protections and maintenance. However, all the equipment, systems and services you need are at your fingertips. Here are some ideas.

Things You'll Need

• Apple laptop

Steps:

Step One

Don't let this be you while traveling.Use common sense. When carrying your laptop, don’t leave it lying in the front seat of your car when you park, and when traveling, be vigilant at airport security checkpoints where you’re going to be flustered dealing with the TSA. Thieves love it when you’re flustered.

Step Two
Hang on to your laptop by all means necessary Even if you're careful, you still might lose your laptop, so make sure you’ve secured your personal or financial information. Check through your Apple operating system and enable security and encryption applications, such as FileVault and Keychain.

Step Three

Secure your laptop with a strong password. It should be at least 8 or more characters in length, but if you have the patience and the paranoia, 14 characters or longer is not a bad idea. One easy way to create a long password is to come up with a full sentence, with both words and letters, you can remember easily.

Step Four

It’s the advice everyone gets, but rarely takes, and that is to back up your data regularly, especially before you take your laptop on a trip. Invest in an external hard drive, such as a Lacie Drive, and use the appropriate software to set up a regularly scheduled back up appointment.

Step Five
Watch out for spysTake advantage of all the other basic security precautions available on your operating system, including the anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Make sure you install operating system updates, too, whenever they announce their arrival on your screen.

Step Six

Be aware of the heat your laptop generates. Never use a soft surface when using or recharging your laptop as it creates a fire hazard.

Step Seven

Don't let the battery get too hot. Lift it off your desk so air can circulate around it. And don’t ever leave it in you car in the hot sun. Overheating will degrade the laptop’s battery and shorten its life.

Step Eight
be careful eating around your laptop

Again, it’s obvious, but do watch out when drinking soda or coffee near your laptop. A mishap with the double espresso that’s powering your brain to write your eHow article “How to Type Faster” will have you in a bad mood for days. Think about buying a keyboard protector from Zcover.com, to protect against such accidents.

Step Nine

A hard knock can mean an expensive repair so invest in a good carrying case that suits your needs. There’s a wide range of sleeves, briefcases and backpack designs to choose from in stores and on the Internet. Check out what’s available at the Apple Web site (see Resources) or do a search and browse until you find what’s right for you.

Step Ten

Think about investing in a computer tracking system like Mac PhoneHome, if you travel a lot and are the type of person who’s in the habit of losing your valuables. Computer tracking systems help recover stolen laptops by having the computer periodically report its location. When the laptop is stolen, you contact the security company that operates the message sending software. The company determines the location of the laptop and works with the law to recover it.

Step Eleven

Invest in an AppleCare Protection Plan. This is a service and support solution that extends the basic coverage on your Mac to 3 years and offers a range of services including telephone technical support, global repair coverage and onsite repair.

Tips & Warnings

• Don’t be left closing the barn door when the horse has bolted. It’s all too common to meet people in computer stores buying an external hard drive and complaining that the reason they’re doing this is their computer crashed and they lost everything. Lesson learned–but the hard way. Don’t let you be one of those buyers. Stop what you’re doing and back up your data right now.
• It’s estimated that about 600,000 laptops are stolen every year. That means the chances of having you laptop stolen are about 1 in 10.

4 steps to treat acne

How to Treat Acne!

Introduction:

Acne can damage self-image to a degree that a person never recovers. The myths about acne causes are many, but examining the real cause behind acne will help to heal the problem.

Steps:

Step One

Hormones, especially testosterone, progesterone are very powerful stimulators that stimulate acne. Certain birth control pills have a lot of progesterone, but Estrogen actually makes acne better. Make sure you ask your doctor which pill they are prescribing if you have skin problems.

Step Two

Sweating:
Areas of the skin that sweat more profusely than average is more likely to develop acne. Hot and humid weather can make acne worse, especially in the tropic. Acne is more common and very severe in most cases for people living in the tropics.
Although inefficient face washing does not cause acne, soap and water will reduce the number of bacteria getting into the whiteheads and turning them black. Some evidence suggests that the lightly abrasive buffing pads may help.

Step Three

Medications: There are a few, very few, medications that make acne worse. If your acne gets worse when you start a new medications consult your doctor for a substitute medication if at all possible. It can take months to recover from a full blown acne flair up.
Benzyl peroxide is an ingredient in most acne medicines that has been proven to help with mild to moderate cases of acne. The cheap ones are just as good as the expensive ones as long as they have benzyl peroxide in them.

Step Four

The pustule that gets bigger and bigger with no head in sight may require a prescription strength antibiotic lotion like clindamycin or erythromycin. If cysts and scars begin to form then you may need to take antibiotics by mouth. They must be taken everyday and exactly as prescribed

eat like a model !!

How to Eat Like a Model

Introduction:

Magazines crammed with supernaturally skinny men and women give the impression that those good looking bodies are gifts from above. However, if you take a peek into the daily life and eating of a model you'll see that their days are dominated by strict diets. The result of all the dieting, carb-less food and macro-nutrients is a great looking, toned body. Follow these steps to eat like a model.

Steps:

Step One

Weigh, measure and record. Models know exactly what, how much and when they eat. This is a skill that models develop by obsessing over the nutrition labels on food, weighing and measuring portions and keeping track of daily carb and calorie intake. If you want to eat like a model, start to measure and record everything you eat.

Step Two

Get rid of carbs and sugar. Carbs and sugar are two of the food compounds that get most easily converted into fat. Further, they do very little in the way of improving health and nutrition. So, cut carbs and sugar out of your diet entirely, including the carbs and sugars found in drinks, in order to eat like a model.

Step Three

Stop eating at night. Because energy becomes fat during the night, as you sleep and are not burning calories, most models stop eating at least three hours before bedtime. When they have a show or photo shoot, models will extend this time to four or sometimes five hours before sleeping. So, find a substitute, such as tea or club soda, to substitute for food before you go to sleep.

Step Four

Stick to macro-nutrients. If you have trouble understanding how to eat like a model, just stick to the basic rule of macro-nutrients. A macro-nutrient is a nutrient that an organism needs in large quantities in order to survive. Proteins, minerals and certain kinds of fatty acids are good examples of macro-nutrients. Things like sugar and trans fats are not macro-nutrients and shouldn't be eaten if you want to eat like a model.

5 steps to loose 10 pounds in 2 weeks

How to lose 10 pounds in two weeks

Introduction:

Nothing is more motivating to lose 10 pounds than a wedding, class reunion, fantastic vacation in Hawaii or a recent unflattering photo in your swimsuit. This summer all of these things are happening to me, so I had to figure out how to lose ten pounds and fast. Here's what worked for me...

Things You'll Need:

• Will power, determination, discipline, a good place to work out and an honest look in the mirror.

Steps:

Step One

Empty out the refrigerator and cupboards of bad food. You won't be cheating, so no need to keep the cookies, candy, soda, chips, etc. It's hard to throw 'em out, but you'll know you're committed once you do.

Step Two

Plan out your diet. Stay away from carbs, which is the common trend now. I try to stay under 28 grams per day, which is basically a sandwich at lunch with some vegetables. Eat eggs, chicken, steak, pork chops and vegetables. I got so tired of chicken that i found ways to cook steak and pork chops for dinner. And that salad you eat, no salad dressing!!! Use lemon juice instead, it tastes fine and is much healthier for you.

Step Three

Be disciplined with your daily routines. Work out and eat at normal times so you're sure to get in what you need every day. Don't eat late, over eat or make too much food. Walk when you can, walk to the bank, the grocery store, your friends house, video store, etc. There's no reason to waste good weather anyway!!!

Step Four

The workout. If you don't work out, you'll just be kidding yourself. Do good cardio, meaning aerobics classes, bicycling, running, etc. Personally, I think those elliptical machines are a waste of time, but that's just my opinion. Go to the gym and make sure your diligent with your workouts.

Step Five

This last one is too easy... Drink water! Stay away from the sodas, including diet soda. Juices are good but have lots of sugar and carbs in them. Eventually, your mouth will crave water and it will taste the best for you.
