Americans spend more than 5 hours a day using their computers. This is a reason enough for them to complain of headaches, blurry vision, backaches, dry and sore eyes and strain.
Apart from prolonged usage of the computer there are also other factors that contribute to eyestrain, such as – improper lighting, glare, dirty screen, bad viewing angle and improper workstation.
Reduce Glare – If you place your computer in front of a window or a light source, the difference in the brightness of the source and your monitor can strain your eyes. Also avoid placing your monitors exactly opposite to a light source. Its reflection on your screen can be really annoying and straining. Try using a good Anti Glare screen over your monitor. Avoid cheap quality Anti Glare screens. They may worsen your eye strain.
Blink – All of us tend to blink about thrice less frequently when we are using the computer or even watching TV. This may cause the eyes to dry more than it dries otherwise. While you are using the computer take a 5 minutes break every half an hour. And blink your eyes slowly for a few minutes. This will help you re-wet your eyes and moisturize them. If you use contact lenses you should consult an Optometrist who will prescribe you re-wetting drops.
Adjust Your Monitor – Place your monitor about 5-9 inches below your level of vision. You should be able to peer on the roof of your monitor at your normal vision level. This would reduce the damage on your eyes.
Visit the Doctor regularly – It is very important to keep visiting a doctor and get your eyes checked regularly. Especially if you wear contact lenses or eyeglasses you should visit your doctor at least twice a year.

Designed by the structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one mast's summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft) — slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 38 m (125 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004, it was inaugurated the day after and opened to traffic two days later.
There are many graduates year after year, they come from different fields of specialization, and are all looking for jobs. If you are among this crowd of applicants, are you sure, that you will stand out and immediately catch the employer's attention?
Every time you apply for a job, you need to submit a resume. But your resume alone is not enough; it is a must that you have a cover letter. By now, you should be familiar with this type of letter. Cover letters introduces you and plainly explains your extreme desire for a certain position or job, and that you can make yourself available when the need arises. A few of your key points are typically highlighted in a cover letter, and it is a way to effectively present your resume.
Your cover letter will speak for you, and spell out to the employer the reason why you sent the resume. Also included in the letter are your qualifications. If the letter is made in an appealing format, it is much easier to make the necessary impression with the right hiring authority.
If you send your resume without the proper cover letter, it will likely end on the trash. The letter itself is some sort of introduction; it entices the receiver, making him/her want to read more. Once you make a good impression, then you can expect to get an interview.
You can find many examples of cover letters in the net. All you have to do is find the right search engine and you can have access to many different examples of cover letter.
All of the cover letter examples are written in a specific format. It usually starts with your address (street address, city, and zip code), phone number, and your email address. After that, leave a space and write the date: month first, the day and year. You have to leave another space then write the name of the addressee (first name, last name), his or her title, the organization's name, and the address. After leaving another space, you have to make the salutation. Use only the last name of the addressee.
In your opening paragraph, you have to write why you wrote the letter, how you came to know the position or organization, and your primary information. On the next paragraph, you can now state why you're interested in the job or the employer. You have to effectively demonstrate that you possess the needed knowledge about the job, your qualifications, and work background. Here you can explain related items contained in the resume in detail.
On the last paragraph, you can ask for an interview, how you will follow-up your application, and that you're willing to provide other required information. Then you have to thank the employer.
You can close the letter with a simple 'sincerely yours' or 'very truly yours' and you have to sign above your printed name. You also have to indicate that you have enclosures.
If you are serious in applying for a particular job, make sure that you impart that intention through your cover letter. Now is the time to brag about the skills that you have, and all your accomplishments. Make your letter the best among the best, and you can be sure that your prospective employer will notice you among the many applicants.

How to Convince People Effectively
The ability make others believe what you believe is important for success in many fields. There is often a fine line between convincing somebody your views are valid and annoying them. In this article we’ll look at some of the techniques you can use if you want to convince another individual to believe what you believe.
Steps
* Do the homework. Make sure you understand your own viewpoint. If you are going to try to convince somebody that the Eiffel Tower is taller than the Statue of Liberty, find out the facts first, don’t make assumptions.
* Learn the field. For certain areas you will need to know more than just the facts, as some subjects are subjective. For example, if you wanted to convince somebody that the Statue of Liberty was prettier than the Eiffel Tower you will need to know enough about architecture and aesthetics to argue about that subject, as well as the facts, like how tall they are. If you are selling something, like a car, you will need to know all there is to know about the car you are selling. Likewise, you will need to know all about the other cars that are in competition with your vehicle.
* Engage the person politely. Maintain eye contact where possible, but don’t be annoying about it.
* Establish mutual respect. You will never convince anybody of anything if they believe you do not respect them, so show the person you respect them and be good enough to gain their respect.
* Gain trust. To convince people of most things you will need their trust. They don’t have to trust you as a person, but they do need to trust that what you are saying makes sense, that you know your “stuff”. The best way to do this is to do your homework and fieldwork, that way you know a lot about the subject.
* Listen carefully to what your debate partner has to say. Respond thoughtfully to their point of view.
* When you can, back up what you say with real facts. Lying will only convince somebody until they find out about the lie, then you will never be able to convince them of anything again.
* Be willing to be convinced. Sometimes accepting one point from the other person and showing that you can change your mind when you are wrong will help them to be the same, and change their mind about the subject you care about.
* Practice active listening. Active listening helps you control a conversation and keeps it on track. Active listening techniques include:
o Non-verbal feedback. Nodding your head as the other talks etc.o Paraphrase what the other person has said to make sure you understand it.
* Make sure you understand the other person’s objections and respond to them in an intelligent manner.
* Keep vigilant about your belief, but always respectful of the beliefs of others. Explain why your belief is important to you.
* Understand the other person’s motivations. If you know what another person wants, you are more likely to be able to give it to them.
* Rephrase your beliefs in a way that the other person is better able to understand.
* Follow up. Ask questions to make sure the other person understands their new views completely.
Tips
* To hold the eye of a crowd select individuals in the crowd and hold their eyes on-and-off through your presentation.
* Never lose your cool. Nothing lacks conviction more than a raving idiot.
* Always be friendly and respectful even if the other person does not change their mind.
* Beliefs fade. You may think you have changed somebodies mind but find that in a day or two, perhaps a week, they are right back to where they were before.
* Buy and read some books on sales techniques.
Now you don't need to seek the weather department information to know about your surrounding. Your mobile phone is now your weather station. It tells you about the weather not only showing the weather parameters numerically but also illustrate the weather effect by changing is shape.
Now I Can Say
I don’t know about your city, but the weather bureau of my hometown is often sniggered at, for their in-accurate predictions. When they say it will rain (like they predicted a couple of days ago) you can be sure it will be bright and sunny. I would like to gift them this “Window Phone”, that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors. Maybe I should keep the phone for myself and bug the bureau with my updates.
Bottling Water With A Surprise
Did you know 77% of the world’s plastic bottles end up in landfills? That amounts to tens of metric tons of waste every year. If recycling isn’t the only answer, maybe we need to think of new ways to extend the lives of these bottles. Seeds in the Bottle is a project by designer Yun Hwan Sung with a little surprise in each package. Tiny herb seeds are stored inside a pocket you release into the bottle when you’re done with it. Invert the bottle, fill with potting mix, water and instead of filling up landfills, you have an herb garden.
Designer: Yun Hwan Sung
