Prior to understanding how web traffic works, you must know what web traffic is. Basically web traffic is the information that is sent by the online users or ‘Netizens’ on any website. It is dependent on the amount of netizens visiting the website. So, the more they visit that website, the more the web traffic would be. Web traffic entails looking at the popular pages of a website in a particular region. Enhanced number of visitors to a webpage would lead to web traffic. In other words, the popularity of a website can be measured by tracking the web traffic.
‘Hits’ is the term that is associated with web traffic. When a user searches for a popular keyword and hits your website or views its page, as a consequence the web traffic increases.
If you want to analyze web traffic, you must look at the traffic in the web server that is hosting the website.

When I Started Photography
When I started photography, I just saw it as a medium to capture moments which I liked the most. I never thought of looking at the greater scenario of background images or good lighting. But one thing I knew that if the scenery was good, the picture will definitely turn good. However, in this venture I lost many a good moments in illegible prints. No matter what your camera's brand is, it is important to look at other factors too. You must look at the background; how it will look and how much light is there. The intensity of light can make or mar your photograph. If there is too much light, your object may appear too bright. As a matter of fact the colors of the subject will appear brighter. The grass will appear light green and the water may appear more blue than required.
Then I just put my camera on a different mode, and took pictures. Then somebody told me that when you take the pictures, you should imagine the entire frame and focus on the subject you want to highlight. I am not a technical person but this has improved my photography a lot.

Make Money With Your Photos
Making money by selling your photos even before you pick up your digital camera. You have to look for what sells. You have to know what is it that the buyers are looking at. Buyers are looking at photos of architecture, art, asian, black, blue, summer, sun, sea, people, face, fashion, woman, youth, green etc. The wesite fotolia has some great tags for you to start on.
When you take a photograph, think as to who will be interested in them. Most of the images are used for advertising purposes or for illustrating them in magazines. For example Xmas is coming, so the advertising agencies will be looking for photos related to that. Indian Festival "Diwali" is also coming, so some companies may be looking for the Indian touch. Sometimes the photographers miss the event. But don't worry as your photos will be used anyways. Just keep uploading them in the relevant sites.
Pile up your photos in the micro stock agencies. They will give you less money but your photos will get sold in bulk. So, for 200 photos you might get $100 only. But then it is worth it!

How to Predict A COMPUTER FREEZE?
Computer freeze ups are such an annoyance, but they can be prevented. Here are a few ways of how to prevent a computer freeze up:
1. Most of the computer slow happens due to lack of RAM. Whenever you operate on the computer you use some of the available memory. So if you have opened many applications, all your memory is used and your computer freezes. So when your computer slows, try stopping these programs and use only a few at a time. In case you have less RAM, you can predict that with many applications on, your computer will freeze.
2. Go for routine maintenance. Your computer will work just like your car if it is maintained on a regular basis. Try to defragment your computer to gather all the data files which have moved away from each other over time. Additionally if your registry has many files which are not supposed to be included, it will take more time than usual for the requests to get fulfilled by the computer. This will surely lead to Computer Freeze ups. So, go for registry cleaning.
3. How about scanning for spyware and viruses? The spyware sucks away your RAM and even modifies your registry. Install an anti virus, which keeps updating on its own.
These simple warnings can predict that your computer will freeze up. If taken care of, your computer freeze will be a distant nightmare.

Top 4 Reasons Of Computer Crashes
One of the most common and annoying problems for the people who use PC is computer crashes. The issue is extremely frustrating mostly because of the fact that the programs which were running well have now stopped. Did you know that Window's Vista happens to be Microsoft's most stable OS? But alas, even it has some bugs. However computer crashes are not solely related to your operating system. It is you, the user who has to share the blame. There are several reasons for your computer crashes:
1. First reason can be attributed to your computer being too hot. This means that one of the hardware pieces inside your computer has been producing enormous amounts of heat. But your computer can manage heat pretty well. It is the dust that will form a layer around your hardware which will then insulate it. The heat will not be able to escape resulting in a computer crash.
2. It could be possible that your system drive is malfunctioning.
3. The computer has an internal power supply. In case you have a bad power supply, the RAM and the graphic card inside begin to malfunction.
4. If your computer has corrupt files, then you are gone! Sometimes you download some programs from the net which are categorized as malware. They are badly coded and once they are removed from the computer, they error filled tags which are also called corrupt files. If such a program damages your registry file, your computer crashes.

Product sourcing for ebay
Product sourcing means ‘finding products to sell through your business’. The product is bought at a wholesale price and then sold while keeping a profit margin. For an internet marketer it is a significant issue since most of his success depends on good product sourcing. There are many other aspects that a marketer has to keep in mind and product sourcing is one of them. Product sourcing increases profit margins, allows you to have flexibility in offering discounts to your customers and you can give tough competition to your peer sellers.
There are a few steps you must take to ensure effective product sourcing for eBay.
• You must do a lot of research and be the first one to find the products. You should sell those products to the customers that they wish for. On eBay you will find ‘Hot items by category’. There will be Super Hot, Very Hot and Hot items based on the demands that customers make. Under the category of ‘What’s Hot’ there is a section called ‘eBay Pulse’ which lists out the words that have been used maximum number of times. You can specifically target the products on knowing these words.
• There is an ‘In Demand’ link that points out the top-selling products and you can make your decision based on these stats.

eBay Coupons
When a customer buys products from eBay, at times he or she is offered a coupon by the participating merchant or the customer service. This activity is done for promotional purposes. It is mandatory to have an account with eBay and you also have to choose to pay via Paypal, if you want to receive the coupons.
In case you are one of those lucky ones who have been chosen to receive coupons, then you will get them via e-mail, an onsite offer, a mailed catalog or a postcard. The only thing you have to ensure is that the e-mail address for your eBay user ID on the coupon is also on your Paypal account. There are a few simple steps to use your coupons:
- After logging in the eBay account (using the same user ID as on the coupon), seek for those merchants who accept Paypal. Or simply look for Paypal logo.
- Many a time people use expired coupons. These do not work. Therefore you must make certain that the coupon is valid.
- Always select Paypal as your payment method before checking out.
- Double check that the e-mail addresses of the Paypal account and that of the eBay account is same.
- Next, enter the redemption code on the face of your coupon.
eBay is starting a new program called eBay Bucks. To test the program, eBay sent e-mails to selected few users. These users were using eBay from a long time and to appreciate this, eBay Bucks was started. An average rebate of around 3-4% was given. Once the purchases have been made and the points are credited to the eBay Bucks account, those eBay Bucks can be used in a similar fashion as the eBay coupon or Paypal coupon. The program is at a very early stage and it will be some before we will be hearing any reports about its efficiency.
eBay and Paypal coupons are hard to find. It is like finding needle in haystack. There are several reasons attached to it. When eBay issues a coupon, there is none or very little benefit involved. This is because even though eBay has given you a discount, it still has to pay the seller. For example if you get a $20 coupon and you use it, eBay still has to give that money to the seller. This cuts down on the profit margins. Same is for the Paypal coupons.

How To Be Debt Free
With the recent financial crisis hitting the United States, prices and interest rates have been on a rise. More and more people have found themselves accumulating huge debts to pay that many times it can be extremely overwhelming. This has resulted to a number of different strategies and methods now offered to help people get out of debt. The methods and strategies offered ranged from investing in stocks to industries that have been considered as safe from any possibility of recession.
Despite the number of different suggestions, advices and methods offered, all of these have failed to hit the target and that is, how to help people become debt-free without having to incur more expense. In today’s financial condition, incurring additional expenses is the last thing on the minds of business owners.
There is no method that can guarantee your debt would be erased overnight. But there are ways that you can make this happen at a sooner possible time than you have projected. One way you can achieve this is through increase your net worth.
Your net worth is basically everything that your business owns minus any payables that it currently has. The best way you can increase your net worth is to settle your outstanding bills and other payables at the soonest possible time. You do not have to do this all at once. Start with one and then slowly work your way up. With each payable settled, you gradually increase your net worth. Before you know it, you have paid out all your bills, increase your net worth and have a peace of mind.

How to Make Easy Money
Make money selling advertising space. The idea behind it is to offer free information from your web site to pull in high volumes of traffic. Once you've achieved that, advertisers would pay you to display their advertisements on your site. This is probably one of the oldest and most hyped ways to make money without money.
It worked really well until the end of 2000. It's how Yahoo became big. With the dotcom bust in 2000, even Yahoo was forced to look to alternative revenue streams. Advertisers began to realize that, in most cases, web advertising is just not cost effective.
Make money doing what you already do. This is not for you if you're looking to build a serious small business on the Net. It's the easiest of the ways to make money without money, but because it's easy, it doesn't pay much.
It mostly involves getting paid to surf the Internet and getting paid to take surveys. It's like stuffing envelopes for money. If that blows your hair back, type "getting paid to do surveys" into the search box at Google and hit "Enter". Take your pick. Don't expect to get rich though.
Make money by writing Wacky blogs. You can write on wacky topics, like polyphasic sleep, astral projection and psychic development. Your blog doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be interesting.
Making money online is not easy. If it was, you'd be out there making it, not over here reading about it.
Easy Way to Get Money
Make money by selling your own products. You can do it without spending your money. This is one path that most of the small businesses take and profit a lot. It is also the most difficult way to make money without money since it is time consuming. In case you don't have a budget, it is all the more time consuming and product development is also difficult. So the big question is what is it that you can make without spending a single penny and people will still buy from you. The answer lies in information products. We all have marketable skills. You're an expert in something.
Do you know about cars? Then write a small book or a guide on engine maintenance.
Do kids love you and you know about them. Then write a book on how to manage kids and you will gets lots of buyers.
You can even make money by selling other's products. Sign up as being an affiliate member of a website that sells something. As an affiliate you refer the people to the "supplier site" and you get a commission each time your referred person makes a purchase. It is the most simple approach. And also the most doable of all the ways to mint money without money. However, if you do not find a good supplier, you will not be able to make money. Your supplier should be honest enough to track your sales and also pay you in time. You don't believe everything that the affiliate websites tell about but you can get good income from these programs.

Ways to invest $1,000 - Second Approach
Investing in Stocks
If you feel you have a good understanding of the stock market and want to pick your own stocks, there are a couple ways to go about doing it. You can either invest in them by buying DSP's or by opening a low-cost online investing account.
A Direct Stock Plan (DSP) allows you to invest in a stock with very little commission. They're good for people who have little money but I don't recommend them for someone who doesn't plan to own the stock for at least a year. The reason is because you have to fill out the paperwork for each stock you buy and they are slightly less liquid than a regular stock is.
The alternative to a DSP is finding a low-cost online investing account. Finding a low cost online broker is very important when you don't have a lot of money to invest because higher commissions can eat away at your savings. Some online brokers that allow you to start with $1000 or less and have cheap commissions are Scottrade, Ameritrade, and Sharebuilder.
Once you've found the broker and have filled out the necessary forms, you'll be able to invest online. But before you make that first trade, you have to research some stocks and decide which one you want to buy. I personally recommend you invest in companies you know about rather than some strange company that you had never heard of before. Once you've picked the stock, just enter the trade and it should be promptly executed.
Whether you decide to invest in a mutual fund or in individual stocks, the odds are in your favor that, over a period of time, you will earn a positive return greater than the traditional savings account or CD.

Ways to invest $1,000 - First Approach
There are two approaches to investing $1000 or less: the mutual fund route or the stock route.
Investing In Mutual Funds
The first step to investing in mutual funds is to research and find a mutual fund that suits your interests. It also has to have a minimum investment which you can afford. Most mutual funds have $2500 minimum investments for regular accounts but some funds let you start with $1000 or less like Invesco funds ($1000) or the Pax World Fund ($250).
The next step is to decide what kind of account you want to open up. The options usually include custodial, joint, IRA, and regular accounts. Custodial accounts are what you would open up if you are a kid and want to invest or if you are a parent who wants to open up an account for their child. You might consider a joint account if you want the account in both you and your spouse's name. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) are excellent ways to save for retirement with tax benefits but you should only open up one of these if you plan on using the money for retirement. Regular accounts are the standard type of account.
Once you have decided what fund you want to invest in and what type of account you want to open, all you have to do is fill out the forms and mail them in and relax as your money grows. Since your money is managed by professionals, you probably won't have to worry about it as much if the market takes a little dip. You can also check how your mutual fund is doing online by entering in its ticker symbol.

Ways people get rich
Before you can start selling online, you need to find something you can sell! Clearing out your unwanted items could be a starting point - but it won't last forever.
The ideal thing to do is to choose a product you yourself feel passionate about, because you'll find such a product easier to sell, but you can (and should) teach yourself to sell any product.
At this stage it's important that you don't put limits on yourself, so keep an open mind.
When searching for products to sell - keep asking yourself "Who would want to buy this product - and what would they be willing to pay for it?" This is crucial - because you want to make a profit - so if you can't get a product cheap enough to put on a markup, it's best left alone!
This leaves you with another decision to make: "Where can I get hold of my product?"
If you have your own product - fine, but most people will have to go looking, so where can you go? There's lots of places! Car boot sales or garage sales are good places to go when you start out. Arriving early will more often than not help you find some excellent bargains. Other options could be to go to wholesalers or stores who buy products in bulk to sell them on for a low price. Or - you could look out for items for sale in retail shops. Buy them, and wait for the price to go back up, and you could sell them on for a tidy profit.
A relatively new thing that many online sellers have started doing - something that is increasing in popularity - is dropshipping. This is a convenient way to start up, because you will never have to handle products, and take care of customer service. All you do is selling a product to a customer online, take payment from the customer, and order the product with the dropshipper - who will then send the product to the customer directly.
What ever way you decide to start selling products online - the opportunities are endless - both when it comes to choosing your product and selling it.
The ideal thing to do is to choose a product you yourself feel passionate about, because you'll find such a product easier to sell, but you can (and should) teach yourself to sell any product.
At this stage it's important that you don't put limits on yourself, so keep an open mind.
When searching for products to sell - keep asking yourself "Who would want to buy this product - and what would they be willing to pay for it?" This is crucial - because you want to make a profit - so if you can't get a product cheap enough to put on a markup, it's best left alone!
This leaves you with another decision to make: "Where can I get hold of my product?"
If you have your own product - fine, but most people will have to go looking, so where can you go? There's lots of places! Car boot sales or garage sales are good places to go when you start out. Arriving early will more often than not help you find some excellent bargains. Other options could be to go to wholesalers or stores who buy products in bulk to sell them on for a low price. Or - you could look out for items for sale in retail shops. Buy them, and wait for the price to go back up, and you could sell them on for a tidy profit.
A relatively new thing that many online sellers have started doing - something that is increasing in popularity - is dropshipping. This is a convenient way to start up, because you will never have to handle products, and take care of customer service. All you do is selling a product to a customer online, take payment from the customer, and order the product with the dropshipper - who will then send the product to the customer directly.
What ever way you decide to start selling products online - the opportunities are endless - both when it comes to choosing your product and selling it.

Is There An ebay Alternative?
eBay is the biggest online store for buying things. It has a user count of over 99 million! There are approximately 48 million active users. This success is due to its good policies. But of lately many active sellers are leaving eBay and finding alternatives. Is there an eBay alternative? Is is as stable and as reliable as eBay is? Here we will discuss a few such alternatives and also dig into the problem as to why eBay is loosing its sellers.
At eBay a seller is allowed to give only positive feedback about their buyers. This is done in order to get more sales resulting in higher fees. A major chunk is cut from their commission. Especially if international products are shipped, you are in for a major fee cut. This fee becomes a disincentive for any new comer. Why is a seller on eBay? To make money, to have fair dealings and to get popularity. eBay doesn’t allow the sellers to include their website links. (There goes your popularity). There are many other sites that allow Affiliate trading, but eBay beats them due to its shear traffic.
Sellers feel at a loss and are now looking for eBay alternatives. Some alternative are Amazon, eBid, My auction planet, Online auction.com, BiddersnSellers and Cozybug amongst others. Amazon is giving good competition to eBay and is emerging out to be more popular. There is an extra advantage in selling books or CDs on Amazon. Along with the regular listings, your items will also appear. Moreover Amazon also gives a part of the postage price. This can help you in gaining some more commission, howsoever small it may be.
eBid is having a number of websites around the world and it is very easy to join it.
Although sellers are finding alternatives but sometimes they have to wait longer (while dust is collecting on their inventory). On eBay your product is sold quickly because there are millions of users who are seeking it. So even in case as a seller you are tired of eBay’s policies and fees, do not quit it altogether. Wait patiently and surely a solution will come up fast. May be the people at eBay change some rules and give more leverage to the sellers.
Even if you are listed with other small online stores, eventually you may be sitting on most of the inventory while only a fraction of it is getting sold.

Compare Google Analytics, WebTrends and XConversions
The Web Analytics world is full of different types of soft wares which claim to be the best. It is up to you to find the one which suits your need and of course the one which fits your budget.
Web Analytics uses web logs to analyze the data whereas Google analytics uses Javascript which is embedded into a web page. That is why Google analytics cannot track JPEG, GIF, PDF and FLASH files. It cannot capture the spiders. X Conversions new PRO version is equipped with Javascript tracking and PHP tracking. Web analytics is used by many corps and corps do not want to share the data with Google.
Web analytics provides customized options to its customers whereas Google has limited number of customized options. Google collects the data and host it for you but Web analytics can host data on your server also. X Conversion can host data in as many number of servers as you want. Google and X Conversions are easy to implement and consume less time whereas Web analytics consumes a lot of time.
According to a survey done in 2007:
- The number of visitors at Google analytics was 521 and in Web analytics, it was 2132.
- There were 2638 page view in Google analytics and 16287 in Web analytics.
- But 84.9% visitors returned to Google analytics as compared 67% at Web analytics.
It is good to use Google analytics as a tool to track user behavior but Web analytics and X Conversions as a tool for facts and figures.
Your data is secure with Web analytics and X Conversions but you don’t know if Google are looking at your data.
Web analytics has a support of 9 languages whereas Google analytics has a support of 8 languages.
Google is free software but both the Web analytics and Xtreme Conversions come for a price.

Efficient PPC
PPC or Pay-per-click campaigns have always been a tedious task and involve a lot of time and energy. Web Monsters have found solution to build up the speed of PPC campaigns. It is called Efficient PPC, the latest tool developed by Felix Leshno. He has developed an innovative way to do affiliate marketing better and faster. And as the name suggests the software not only delivers quality, it efficiently manages the PPCs. With this you can build high-relevance, high Quality Score Google AdWords within a few seconds resulting in the generation of huge and relevant traffic.
Efficient PPC has an advantage over Speed PPC. Efficient PPC can create multiple campaigns at once, automatically splits large ad groups and large campaigns, has a keyword editor, duplicates the campaigns fast and has automatic campaign error detection. There is an option of automatically dividing the campaign into unlimited Ad groups and eight built in keyword lists.
However Efficient PPC has some drawbacks. In this the campaigns have to be saved first and then uploaded one at a time. Hence the uploading process is rather slow and wearying and cumbersome. It cannot export the saved campaigns to MSN adcenter. Also the Efficient PPC cannot be used with Yahoo Overture and other PPCs like ask.com, Looksmart and Miva.
Felix Leshno, the software developer has to work on the problem of reducing the uploading process.
The Efficient PPC software is priced at US $347 or US $99+$19 (monthly) which makes it competitive in the business, since its equals are more expensive. Some people are of the viewpoint that it is very cheap and a hike in prices would do no harm. In my opinion, Efficient PPC is worth a try since you are getting more advanced features at a low price. This is truly called tech oriented.

Compare Aweber, and Icontact
The soft wares Aweber and IContact deal with e-mail marketing campaigns. But there are some differences in their features. Aweber comes with around 50 HTML e-mail templates whereas in IContact you can find around 300 HTML templates. You can create and customize mail merge fields in IContact. This option helps you in targeting and personalizing your messages to each individual on your list. There is an Integrated What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) HTML editor which Aweber lacks. You can publish a sign-up form to your own page with Aweber. This means that once a visitor your website the program creates a sign-up form so that the turns into a subscriber for you. The visitor can be directed to any page of your web site once they fill up the form. A similar feature is found in IContact. IContact provides you with RSS feeds but with Aweber you can turn your RSS feeds into an e-mail newsletter. There is an advanced feature of 500kb of image hosting included for storing of commonly used images in IContact but Aweber lacks this feature.
IContact has white list agreements with national ISPs to make sure your message makes it to your contact's inbox. Both the servers provide the marketers with a standard spam check feature but personally I think Aweber’s anti spam policy is better. IContact has a feature where small target oriented segments are created based on the criteria set by you. You can then send personalized e-mails to these segments.
There is a live chat option in IContact website but this option is not available to an Aweber subscriber.
AWeber is priced at US $19 for a month if you have a 500 subscriber base whereas IContact is priced at a mere US $9.95 for a monthly subscription with same subscriber base.

Understanding Paypal
PayPal today is not a payment system: it's a suite of many different payment systems. Paypal is located in San Jose, California. It was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002.
Paypal is one of the most popular trade name in ecommerce. There are over 50 million users who utilize the services of Paypal. Here the payment transfers are done via e-mail payments. The parties between whom the payment is exchanged cannot see each others credit card or bank information.

Online Poker Fiasco – Gaining Momentum
The US lawmakers are once again disturbed by the online gambling issues after seizing $30 million in the online poker player winnings. The issue has gained momentum in the nation and the online gambling community wants obvious answers.
Some people, who do not play gamble online, are least bothered about the fact. But, people who have been playing online poker for years have not been able to find anything illegal about playing poker on the Internet, in any of the law books. So why is the US government springing up the matter once again? The online gambling industry has asked for clear definitions about the legal aspects time and again, but has failed to get any comprehensible response from the lawmakers.
With the onset of global economical crunch, people are finding alternative means to survive – and playing online poker is helping them. However, the US government has decided to interfere with their money further adding to their financial problems. This has sparked a row and some groups are planning to bring forth their protests in front of the government.
Representative Barney Frank had crafted a Bill to legalize online gambling. This fiasco will bring this Bill into the limelight.
European Union has further aggravated the situation by informing the US government of taking a legal action against their decision and approaching the World Trade Organization if they do not bring positive changes to their Internet gambling laws.
This problem will definitely spark a series of arguments in the near future.

GOLF NEWS
Callaway Big Bertha 08 Individual Iron (5-Iron)
I was struggling with shots that would land in the woods or out-of-bounds, most of the time. I knew there was something wrong with my stance and the swing I produced. My coach gave his golden tips about the stance and my shots improved a little bit. Then he pointed out that if I change my set or a few clubs in my set, my shots could become more accurate. I just mentioned it to my husband, who then decided to buy Big Bertha 08 irons for me.
The irons not only improved my distance, I was missing less number of shots. I was able to chip the ball accurately! The Callaway engineers have done some fantastic job in designing this set of irons. It is a bore-through design that enhances the control of the club. Basically, this design allows maximum impact of the center of the clubface with the ball. With this kind of impact the ball will never lose its target if you know how much to swing!
Thanks to this technology, which my husband really researched about, I am able to get accuracy in almost all my games and I am looking at a lower handicap now. The larger hitting area coupled with a constant width sole for maximum forgiveness, is the secret of my improved game.
So, if you want to improve that lousy golfing day, just go for this set. It is value for money.
If only I get that elusive diamond pendant now!!

Installing drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden
Do you want to make gardening easier and have improved plants? Then install a drip irrigation system. Originally developed by Simcha Blass, in Israel, this technology was used to irrigate the vast desert lands for effective farming. The drip irrigation systems spread out the water supply enabling more water to reach to the roots of the plants. This system is 90% more efficient than the sprinkler systems whose efficiency lies at a mere 50%-60%.
Types of irrigation systems
Compliance of drip irrigation system
Enhanced water absorption by the plant roots
The water supplied by a proper drip irrigation system, is maintained at a low flow. This ensures that a correct volume of water runs in the rows of the plants and garden. The system works very well with the vegetable gardens where optimal water flow and optimal air conditions are essential components in the development of healthy plants. The controlled flow of water prevents erosion to a great extent thereby automatically controlling the exposure of roots to the air. Moreover since the water is running slowly, the air does not get displaced, keeping the balance of air and water intact, in soil.
Efficient in watering hilly areas
Gardener’s best friend
The drip irrigation system is the gardener’s best friend because the water flow is guided and doesn’t spray as it does in case of water sprinklers. The concrete areas in the garden do not get water. This helps in prevention of growth of green algae on the driveways and walkways. The green algae are very slippery and can cause accidents.

HEAT STROKES
Heat Stroke
Every year numerous cases of heat stroke are reported across the globe. Heat stroke is caused due to hyperthermia or excessive heating of body. The body temperature rise to an abnormally high level and is accompanied by physical and neurological symptoms. Each individual will have different symptoms of heat stroke. The physical symptoms include body ache, head ache, nausea, exhaustion and giddiness. The neurological symptoms include confusion, hallucination and sometimes a bizarre conduct. People, who are dehydrated, and who are exposed to sun for a prolonged period of time, can develop heat stroke. Athletes, travelers, elderly people and children are the most common victims of this condition. If not taken seriously, heat stroke may prove to be fatal.
Heat stroke not only affects Homo sapiens, it affects animals too. As a matter of fact, the animal can be in a near death condition, within a span of ten minutes. At times, the pet owners leave their pets in the vehicles, just to return in a minute or two. But this short while can make your pet salivate or pant excessively, even leading to a collapse. Don’t let this happen to your pet. On a sunny day if you park your car out under sun, the inside temperature of the car can climb up to 120 degrees F within 30 minutes! This high heat can influence the normal body functioning of the pets leading to intravascular clotting, hemorrhaging, cerebral edema and kidney failure.
It is best to prevent yourself from such a situation. Replenish your body by having lots of fluids if you are on a workout regime or traveling in a hot and humid weather. Wear hats and loose clothes. Take rest at short intervals.
Never leave your pets unattended in the car. Ensure that you are carrying enough water for them while taking them out in sun.

Wedding Anniversaries-A Special Day For every Wife
Wedding anniversaries are special, as they bring back sweet memories of the happiest day of couples’ lives. Each year couples begin to feel the same excitement and joy that they experienced all those years ago on their wedding day. Reliving that experience on one’s wedding anniversary can be done either by taking a private romantic holiday shared by just husband and wife, or by making it a family occasion and hosting a party for friends and family. Both require meticulous and detailed planning, and it is one time when no one wants to see things go wrong. A big party becomes a great celebration and the wife feels the same fervor and wants to do things in quite the same way as her wedding day, except for the fact that she is not the blushing bride at this time, but the gracious hostess. Parties are a great way of socializing and extending friendships.
Wedding Anniversary parties require a lot of preparation and planning. While most of the finer details of the party have to be kept for the days closest to the big day, there are many things that can be finished weeks in advance and kept aside so that there is time to spare for more pressing matters and details. The dress for the wife is something that is important but can be selected well in advance. Going about buying a dress for one’s wedding anniversary is not as simple as it seems. One needs to be clear in one’s mind about what one wants before setting out. The design the cut and style would help in deciding whether to go to a shopping mall or a specialist store or a designer outlet to buy the dress.
Many women prefer wearing a traditional long dress in silk, complete with a veil or similar headgear for the party. Others look for more practical options buying a trendy dress suit made out of blended fabric but fits perfectly. Such outfits can be worn for other occasions and are therefore good value for money. Many factors have to be borne in mind before setting out on a dress buying expedition:
Ø The design, style and cut of the dress;
Ø Should it be traditional or contemporary;
Ø The budget kept aside for it;
Ø To buy from a large mall or an exclusive outlet;
Ø The color and fabric of the outfit;
Ø Whether to buy one of the machine mass produced dresses or an exclusive one of a kind dress;
Ø Can it picked up off the rack or does the shop give the facility of alterations and modifications;
Ø Does the shop offer matching accessories within the budget;
Ø Practical aspects like long term maintenance of the dress;
The most important factor is that the spouse should like to see his wife in that outfit. It is not a bad idea to discuss with the husband what kind of dress he considers appropriate. If he can spare the time he can even help in finally selecting one out of two or three short-listed ones. This takes away the anxiety linked to doubts whether or not he would approve of the dress purchased. To be on the safe side, it is always preferable to find out the rule for exchanging a dress, and refund policies of the store, before the dress is sent for alteration.
Wedding anniversaries are also a time for men to pamper their wives and make them feel special. A perfect dress chosen for her for the special day would really prove to be a delight for her, much more than what she selects and buys herself.
