  ONLINE SHOPPING SECURITY – TIPS

  
  Online shopping has become very popular to purchase all things without leaving your home, and it is a convenient way to buy things like electronic appliances, furniture, cosmetics, and many more. We can avoid the traffic and crowds. There is no particular time to buy things we can buy at any time instead of waiting for the store to open. Apart from all these advantages risks are involved and there are unique internet risks so it is very important to take some safety measures before you go for online shopping.
  Tips for safe online shopping :-

  
  1. Before you go for online shopping make sure your PC is secured with all core protections like an antivirus, anti spyware, firewall, system updated with all patches and web browser security with the trusted sites and security level at high..

  
  2. Before you buy things online research about the web site that you want to buy things from, since attackers try to trap with websites that appear to be legitimate, but they are not. So make a note of the telephone number?s physical address of the vendor and confirm that the website is a trusted site. Search for different web sites and compare the prices. Check the reviews of consumers and media of that particular web site or merchants..

  
  3. If you are ready to buy something online check, whether the site is secure like https or padlock on the browser address bar or at the status bar and then proceed with financial transactions.

  
  4. After finishing the transaction take a print or screenshot of the transaction records and details of product like price, confirmation receipt, terms and conditions of the sale..

  
  5. Immediately check the credit card statements as soon as you finish and get them to know about the charges you paid were same, and if you find any changes immediately report to concerned authorities.

  
  6. After finishing your online shopping clear all the web browser cookies and turn off your PC since spammers and phishers will be looking for the system connected to the internet and try to send spam e-Mails and try to install the malicious software that may collect your personal information.

  
  7. Beware of the e-Mails like “please confirm of your payment, purchase and account detail for the product.” Remember legitimate business people never send such e-mails. If you receive such e-mails immediately call the merchant and inform the same.

  Get A Cell Tower On Your Property

  HOW TO GET A CELL TOWER OR CELL SITE ON YOUR PROPERTY
  We get contacted on a daily basis from individuals like yourself who have heard from their neighbor, friend, or associate that they are getting $800 a month to lease their land to a wireless company or a tower company. Their immediate question is “How can I lease my property and receive ‘mailbox money’ every month?”

  Our unpopular, but accurate response is that the average landowner HAS LESS THAN A 5% CHANCE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL. Wireless carriers spend significant money and resources designing their systems around very specific radio frequency engineering standards and often target specific geographic locations. That being said, there are certain factors that may make your land more likely to be leased.

  Distance to Adjacent Towers. If there is an existing cellular tower within one mile of your location, chances are not good that another will be built. The local zoning jurisdiction will require use of existing towers first. If there are no towers nearby, then your property is more desirable if:
  Dense Population or High Traffic Counts. The location is surrounded by either an urban or suburban population or alternatively nearby roadways that have high traffic counts. If you are in a rural area and are not within 1/2 mile of a major highway or a town of 2,000 or more, chances are very slim that a tower will be located on your property.
  Zoning1. This is where zoning or land use comes in. Many jurisdictions (counties, towns, cities) have ordinances that allow communication towers. If you have an industrial parcel surrounded by residential property, the likelihood that a wireless carrier could use your property increases. Likewise, if you have a residentially zoned property surrounded by industrial property, the likelihood decreases. Contact your local jurisdiction’s planning or community development office to find out what the requirements are for towers and if one can even be placed on your property.
  Here are some scenarios that people send us often that are not likely to result in a tower:

  Farmland surrounded by other farmland unless you are within 1/4 mile of a 4 lane road.
  A rooftop that is not at least 30 feet taller than any building in one mile.
  Residentially zoned.
  Highest Point in the County.
  An area that does not have any cell phone coverage (The carriers choose not to cover areas that don’t meet certain business criteria).
  We can not evaluate your property for you.We provided a property analysis service previously, however people ignored the information above and then were disappointed when the analysis came back negative. So we have terminated that service.

  We don’t market your property to carriers.So please don’t ask, and don’t send us an email telling us why your think your property is different. If you haven’t been contacted by a carrier, then we can’t help.

  We can not provide carrier phone numbers or names of individuals to contact. For that you are on your own.

  Some of the carriers and tower companies do provide websites to submit your land for possible lease. See

  http://www.t-mobilerealestate.com/cell-sites

  http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/realestate/

  and http://www.crowncastle.com/contact-us/landowner-contact.aspx

  and http://www.americantower.com/atcweb/LandOwners/LandOwners.htm

  You can submit a site to Sprint/Nextel via email at:

  wirelesssitesfsdb@sprint.com

  US Cellular
  ATTN: Friendlies Administrator
  5117 W Terrace Drive
  Madison, WI 5317

  We are unaware of ways to submit sites to Cingular.

  What do we suggest? Either contact the carriers directly (which may be impossible to do) or simply wait. Place a sign on your property saying you have property for lease for a cell tower – AND THEN BE PATIENT. Don’t sign up for “property listing services” and don’t entertain site management services. You are wasting your money. None of them have the marketing staff necessary to be in every local market. Without local contacts, they are less effective at marketing your location than you are.

  News or Not – Illegal’s Boycott Arizona By Leaving

  Illegal’s Boycott Arizona By Leaving

  Phoenix, AZ – Thousands of illegal immigrants are showing their outrage with Arizona‘s controversial new SB-1070 law by boycotting the state and moving elsewhere. One example of those who are punishing the state by leaving is illegal immigrant Manuel Renaldo. As he loaded his stolen car with his family of twelve’s belongings, Renaldo told this reporter through an interpreter, “It’s a matter of principle, ‘homes.’ I refuse to be supported by someplace that treats me like a criminal.” The affects of the exodus are being felt by Arizona retailers, who report dwindling beer thefts and spray paint and ammunition sales dropping. Also hit hard are Arizona hospitals, who have reported a dramatic decline in births and emergency room visits by illegal aliens. “We’re ecstatic,” said one administrator for Banner Health in Phoenix. “At this rate we may see a profit one day.” The boycott/exodus of Arizona by illegals is expected to grow exponentially leading up to the law’s starting date.

  Simple computer program decodes lost Biblical language

  The new program was able to translate the 3,000-year-old language using the computing power of a laptop.

  A project led by professor Regina Barzilay of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may be the first to show how ancient, lost or unknown languages can be decoded using a computer program, according to National Geographic.
  Earn up to

  The MIT team was able to decode the “lost language” of Ugaritic, an ancient Semitic language used in Old Testament times, using no more computing power than that of a laptop. The program took no longer than a few hours to link most Ugaritic symbols to their Hebrew equivalents.

  Ugaritic text was nothing more than a series of dots and wedge-shaped marks to linguists and scholars when it was first discovered on clay tablets in 1928, excavated from the rubble of the ancient city of Ugarit by French archaeologists. Even though the language is closely related to Hebrew, experts did not decipher it until 1932.

  It took only hours to accomplish what took linguists years to complete, leading scholars to hope that the new computer program can be a prototype for a more powerful system to decode ancient languages that remain a mystery to scholars. In other words, it may not be long before computers become modern day versions of the Rosetta Stone.

  “Traditionally, decipherment has been viewed as a sort of scholarly detective game, and computers weren’t thought to be of much use,” Barzilay said. “Our aim is to bring to bear the full power of modern machine learning and statistics to this problem.”

  But some experts remain skeptical. Richard Sproat, an Oregon Health and Science University computational linguist, notes that “in the case [of Ugaritic], you’re dealing with a small and simple writing system, and there are closely related languages. It’s not always going to be the case that there are closely related languages that one can use.”

  For example, a language like Etruscan, which was used by ancient Italians around 700 B.C., is known today from scant written examples and shares no relation to any other known language, except for a few words adopted by the Latin language (e.g., the name of the city of Rome comes from Etruscan). Deciphering Etruscan symbols could potentially give historians invaluable contextual clues about the region before Latin superseded the earlier language.

  Barzilay thinks the MIT program can be upgraded to decode languages like Etruscan by scanning multiple languages at once and taking contextual information into account. At the very least, such a program could reveal new, obscure clues that scholars can use to learn more about ancient unknown languages.
