Everything relies on transport. The cup of tea you may be drinking has tea that had travelled from long distance from farm to factory and then from factory to shops. Transport business is huge and it hardly ever saturates, lots of people are into it and still the demand is more. Apart from making money from internet, which requires special skills and not everyone succeed, transport business just need some initial cash which you put into buying trucks and then these trucks pay you a lot more in return. All you need to do is keep them in good condition by getting it serviced regularly and appoint only skilled drivers who not only know how to drive safely but also know little about mechanics of trucks. To save on initial investment in this business you can go for second hand trucks, which will cost much less than new ones. Daycab Trucks can also be bought and built according to your transportation requirements. In these you can fix required size of trailer which is also sold separately. Once set properly, it’s a worry free business that grows on itself. If you do not have time to manage transport business then sometimes what people do in this case that they buy trucks and handover it to another party on a contract basis. Roughly the contract says that the original owner of truck gets some percentage of profit while the working party takes share of profit but also takes care of servicing and other wear and tear and / consumables of truck.

How to type in Hindi? Or any other regional language? I faced this problem when I was working on a project (www.amarprakashnews.co.in) which needed some text in Hindi language. I used Google Translate to get Hindi version of words like Home, About Us, Contact Us etc but when I copied it, it displayed in browser as ????. So here is the solution step by step to get your regional language like Hindi or any other language up and running smoothly on your web pages.

1. How to type in your language?

If you are using windows, just go to Control Panel and double click the icon which says “Regional and Language options”. Now select the language in which you want to type from the drop down menu. When you will click ok, a language toolbar will appear in your taskbar. If it doesn’t then just right click on the taskbar and in Toolbars option select Language bar. Now your Language bar will display EN and on clicking on it once, it will show the second language which you selected. Select your preferred language from this language bar to type in that language. If your desired language is not in the list then you may need to install that from the Windows installation disk.

2. I can type now but its displaying as square boxes or question marks

Install font! If the language in which you are typing need special font and your computer does not have it then it will display as square box. For example if you want to type in Hindi, then you should have Hindi font like Kruti Dev installed.

3. I have fonts but web page show it as ?????

Due to some reason if you place a regional language text inside script pages (like index.php of wordpress), it will show as ????. Proper way to fix it to have full language file built for your regional language but if you need only few text to show in your language then here is the workaround which always works. Get help of any online Unicode code converter. There are many but [www.rishida.net/tools/conversion/] is a good one. In this converter, put your regional language text in “Mixed input” field and click on the convert button. Now copy whatever you get in the “Hexadecimal NCRs” field and paste that in your web page or script page. Now you will not see those ???? anymore but your regional language text in proper way.

Oilfields are places which have oil wells to extract crude oil. This crude oil is like a life line for the whole world. Without this oil life on earth will come to halt. Since from this crude oil only we get petrol , diesel and hundreds of other products, imagine everyone riding bicycle and using bullock carts to carry things around. It will be like going several hundred years back.  Going from one country to another will take a lifetime because then there will be no aeroplanes. Because of so much use and extraction of oil, these oil wells go dry and new oil wells are drilled after some time. Oilfield Equipments that are used to drill and setup extraction system are not one of those things that you can just go and buy from nearby market. These are extreme machines! These machines are very costly and often people buy used machines that are in perfect working order. Used Oilfield Equipment Sale is done by auction in many parts of the world. These machines are built strong and do not show age even after several years of use, therefore buying a used machine means saving a lot of money initially that one would have spent in buying new machine.

Everyone has been unfortunate enough to have a laptop lose its battery life and crash on us. Losing the availability of a laptop always seems to happen when we are about to send an important email, get to a good part of a movie, or when taking an exam for an online college course. By keeping your laptop plugged in all of the time, you are spending more money on electricity and increasing your carbon footprint. However, there are several ways to reduce the amount of energy you use while staying productive:

Change the Power Saver Mode

Most people don’t realize they can change their computer’s settings depending on the situation they’re in. Microsoft Windows users can click on the battery icon in the bottom right portion of their screen. There are several different ways to use the power saver features: you can change how quickly your laptop goes into hibernation, you can decrease the brightness of the screen, and you can also change what the power button does when you press it.

Harness the Power of the Sun

By using sunlight as a natural power resource, you can charge your battery throughout the day and not have to worry about losing your work. Most batteries run for $45 so you can purchase a solar power charger and store several at the same time. By using these batteries for work, you won’t have the need to plug in to a power source unless it is a rainy day.

Proper Battery Maintenance

By taking proper care of your battery, you are not only increasing the amount of power you get with each charge, you can also cut back on the amount of batteries you need to purchase over the lifespan of your computer. By using an air duster to clean out your battery and wiping it with a dry towel, you can optimize performance and ensure longevity. For Windows users, the Microsoft website gives official instructions on how to care for your battery.

Close Unused Applications

Tabbed browsing can be a great way to discover the best things on the Internet in a short period of time. While you’re running two browsers at the same time with ten tabs each, you’re probably going to want some music playing in iTunes. You also might still have Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office open from your day at work. While it is great that these applications can run on your laptop at the same time, they also use a lot of memory and battery life.

Unplug Accessories

When you plug in devices like removable USB drives and iPods, you’re battery is essentially using its power stores to run them. By removing a USB drive after you have saved or gathered the files necessary and taking out your iPod when it is fully charged or synced, you can save battery life. If kept in the drive, external software like CD’s use battery life even when you are not using them.

By taking some considerations you can reduce your carbon footprint, become more productive, and use your laptop to its best capabilities.

It’s a nice plugin allowing you to show featured post in a nice box with some effects. However most people can’t make it work in their blog. I have successfully used it in some of my own and clients blog (e.g.: www.gadget5.com) and experienced problem too and I found some solutions that work.First thing to do is download the latest version of the plugin and extract it in your plugin folder. Delete and deactivate older version. Now reactivate the plugin. If everything is fine, it should work but if it doesn’t, here are some troubleshooting tips:

Problem: No featured content gallery box at all.
Solution: 1. Check that you have placed the code <?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php’); ?>In the template file like header.php, index.php, sidebar.php etc. One must not place this code in widget box from dashboard as it will not work. Get hold of a HTML editor and open up template file and place this code where the box fits and suits your blog look. You may want to alter some CSS settings but that’s a different story. Tweaking with CSS is only for fine touching the layout.
2.  In the wordpress admin dashboard, go to settings and click on “Featured Content Gallery” link. Now check that you have assigned category or post ID (any one of either) which you want to display as featured content. Also make sure that post ID or category you have assigned have some post with images in it.
3. In “Slide Transition Times” option if you are unsure of duration time, leave them blank. It works fine.
4. If you are doing all this on localhost (wamp / xampp) then try uploading your theme on some webhost and try it with latest version of wordpress. Sometimes it just not works with localhost.

Problem: Box appears but there is no image and only text or none.
Solution: 1. In the admin dashboard of wordpress, go to All post and edit the featured post. In the option below look for “Add New Custom Field:”. If you can’t find it please click on the “Screen Options” button and enable Custom Fields option. In the box below “Name” of custom fields option put “articleimg” and in value box put the path to image. You can copy and paste the image path from the post (check HTML view). The path will be something like this:  http://your-blog-domain/wp-content/uploads/year/month/image.jpg If the text is missing from featured box, again go to custom field’s option and in name put “featuredtext” and in value put the text you want to display in featured box.

Problem: It works now but box color, border color and text color is not right.
Solution: In admin dashboard of wordpress, go to settings and click on the Featured content gallery link. Now in the boxes below “Gallery Style” make sure that you have put proper hex code of color you want. Hex code is in this format: #FFFFFFF for white, #000000 for black and so on. Don’t forget to prefix hash symbol “#” before every code. To know exact hex code for your desired color you can use this useful small tool called ColorPix which can be downloaded free from: www.colorschemer.com/colorpix_info.php

When using digital equipments which are sensitive to surge it’s strongly recommended to use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). These UPS are of many grades. You must have bought UPS for your desktop PC and know how many brands are there each claiming to be the best. When it comes to medical instruments, we need something more advanced and reliable UPS that would not breakdown in normal conditions. Patient’s life depend on these machines when they are operated using them and one would never want them to stop working in critical time just because of an electrical surge. Therefore it becomes a standard to use only medical grade ups in medical equipments and not just any other UPS available in the market.

Medical equipments like heart lung machine, CT scanners, diathermy not only do life saving job but are also very costly, it would cost a lot if these machines breakdown frequently. Repairing of these equipments is also very costly and even not possible in some parts of the world due to unavailability of parts and engineers who can repair it. For longer life of these machines proper maintenance is required. Operating condition is equally important and apart from well trained staff, a clean power supply without any interruption will increase the life of equipment and lower the cost of maintenance. Powervar UPS are available from 78 VA to 300 kVA which is quite a good range. Their UPS come with full five year warranty which is itself a proof of reliability and has many patented technology built in to provide the cleanest power output possible.

Using low quality UPS can also be hazardous, there are many threats like loss of life due to total shut down of a critical life support system running thru poor quality UPS, wrong diagnosis because of false reading from a malfunctioning machine or other health issues arising from fumes of low standard battery.
