Steps to maximize the life of your HP battery

There are actions you can take to make your battery last longer during each charge cycle and live longer over many cycles. HP always recommends following the instructions for charging and storage that came with the battery or notebook. On this page USA quality battery supplier: g-batteryshop.com offer additional suggestions to help you get the most from your portable power supply.

Manage battery power more effectively in Windows

Make sure your battery gives the power you need, when you need it. Power Options in your Control Panel allow you to adjust the power management features of your notebook PC.

Tips for conserving battery power on laptop

You can manually change the power consumption of your notebook PC and conserve battery power.
  • Reduce the brightness of the screen to the minimum readable level. Use the function keys on the top of your keyboard to adjust the brightness.
  • Remove peripherals when not in use. External hard drives, CD-ROMs, Zip drives, PC cards, and other peripheral devices can draw power from your battery even when they are not in active use.  Disconnect them when you have finished using them.
  • Turn off the Wireless On-Off button when it is not in use. If your notebook has one, press the Wireless On-Off button so that the light turns off.

Laptop Battery care practices

Battery cells suffer gradual, irreversible capacity loss over time. Such aging occurs more rapidly as temperature and discharge loads increase. Here are some suggested ways to minimize the capacity loss for your battery.
  • Store Li-Ion batteries between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F) with 30% to 50% charge.
  • Do not leave batteries exposed to high temperatures for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to heat (for example, inside a hot car) will accelerate the deterioration of Li-Ion cells.
  • Remove the battery if the notebook will be stored (turned off and not plugged into AC power) for more than 2 weeks.
  • Remove the battery if the notebook will be plugged into AC power continuously (via a wall adapter or docking station) for more than 2 weeks.

Calibrate the laptop battery

Short discharges and recharges do not fully synchronize the battery’s fuel gauge with the battery’s state-of-charge. This can result in the amount of power available in one cycle being less than expected or the battery meter being inaccurate.

Laptop Battery News – Victory of IE 8:Improve Your Battery Life with the Proper Browser

IE 8 Improve Your Laptop Battery Life

browser-battery-life-explored

Usually, when it comes to benchmarking browsers, private browsing mode, speed, memory usage may be considered by most people. But do you have heared of something about battery life? It is strange indeed. However, tech blog AnandTech now made a study which browser is best to use if you’re trying to conserve battery life on your laptop computer. And, It is surprised that IE 8 wins with the longest web surfing time, which is amazing indeed for IE 8 often leave us a bad performance in most levels.

AnandTech tested IE 8, Firefox 3.5(+ Firefox Extension AdBlock), Chrome 2, Opera 9 and 10, and Safari 4 on three different machines environment: an AMD laptop and an Intel laptop, both with Vista installed, and an Intel Atom-powered netbook with Windows XP. IE8 lead the pack on both Vista-powered machines, beating the second-place Firefox with Ad-Block by seven minutes on the AMD PC, and by five minutes on the Intel machine. Safari 4 came in dead last on both Vista laptops, trailing IE8 by over 40 minutes.

Here’s the conclusion in detail of the report:

Overall, Internet Explorer and Firefox + AdBlock consistently place near the top, with Chrome following closely behind. Opera 10 Beta 3 didn’t do as well as Opera 9.6.4, and in a couple quick tests, it doesn’t appear that the final release of Opera 10 changes the situation at all. Opera in general — version 9 or 10 — looks like it doesn’t do as well as the other major browsers. Safari is at the back, by a large margin, on all three test notebooks. We suspect that Safari 4 does better under OS X, however, so the poor Windows result probably won’t matter to most Safari users.

As a conclusion, there are many skirmishes–like those over add-ons–of which Firefox is the clear victor; When it comes loading speed, Google Chrome will win the game. But based on these results from AnandTech, Internet Explorer is really the way to go if your own concern is squeezing the most life out of your laptop battery, instead of private browsing mode or others. So, do you have a crush on Microsoft IE if you always get bored with it.

12 Things to Do with Coca Cola – Life Tips by g-batteryshop.com

12 Things to Do with Coca Cola

Coca Cola (the real one) is not only great to drink, it also has many uses around the home.

This list of uses was tested on ordinary, original Coca Cola, not the diet kind, or any of the variations there are available.

1. Cleaned a burned saucepan by pouring Coke into it and boiling. This takes out all the staining.
2. It’s easy to make a modern photograph look like an old sepia one. Just lightly brush the photograph with Coca Cola and dry quickly. Don’t wet it too much or it will buckle. Photocopied black and white pictures make great looking “antique” prints, if you treat them in the same way. Maps photocopied and treated this way, look fantastic in antique style frames.
3. If you dye your hair and the result is too intense, flat Coca Cola will help to lighten it.
4. Give old coins a soak in Coke. This gives a brilliant shine for collections and decorative items.
5. Pour Coca Cola into your kettle and leave all day. This will remove limescale and leaves it clean inside.
6. A can of Coke poured into the toilet will clean it. The acid in the drink gets to work right away.
7. Make an excellent barbecue sauce by mixing Coke and Ketchup , half and half. Coat chicken, meat, etc with this before cooking. It’s mouthwatering.

All laptop batteries are USA Stock, Manufacturer Warranty.
8. Flat Coke makes a good hair conditioner. Pour it over your hair, rinse and dry.
9. Put Coke into flat wide dishes in the garden and it will help to rid your plants of slugs. They are attracted by the sweet smell and once they fall in, they can’t get out.
10. Rusty bolts can be loosened by soaking a rag in Coca Cola, and wrapping it around the bolt. Leave for a few hours and it will be easier to move.
11. Clean your jewelery in a glass of Coke. Brush with a toothbrush and rinse well. (Not recommended for valuable items, or those with gem stones in them.)

20 Ways To Increase Laptop’s Battery Life

20 Ways To Increase Laptop Battery Life

increase laptop battery lifeMobile computing has got better with lighter components, better chips and faster processors. But the Achilles heel of a laptop has remained its battery. So here are we are going to look at ways to increase laptop battery life.

Modern graphic intensive operating systems and resource hungry applications are cutting down the life of your laptop’s battery every day. The average battery life per continuous use still stands at a maximum of three to four hours. So, a fast depleting battery could very swiftly put the crutches on your ‘mobile’ road trip.

Falling just short of carrying an extra pack of batteries in the back-pack, are several ways to keep the juice flowing through the batteries.

1. Ship shape with a defrag

Regular defragmentation helps to arrange data more efficiently thus making the hard drive work less to access the data. The quicker the moving hard drive works lesser is the load placed on the battery. Thus, your batter can last longer. The effect is minimal, but this efficiency goes hand in glove with hard drive maintenance.

2. Kill the resource gobblers

End the background processes that are not vital. Monitor the resource usage through a ‘Ctrl-Alt-Del’ which brings up the Windows Task Manager (in Windows). If you’re not on the internet, it is safe to shut down the immediate non-essential programs running in the taskbar like the antivirus and the firewall. Weed out unnecessary programs running as start-ups by launching the System Configuration Utility from Run – Msconfig – Tab: Startup. Uncheck the programs which you don’t want to launch and reboot the computer once.

3. Pause the scheduled tasks

It may be a defrag or a virus scan, but make sure it is scheduled for a time when you are near a power outlet. If not then nix them for the moment.

4. Unplug external devices

USB devices are the biggest drainers of battery power. Unplug all external devices like an external mouse, PC cards, Wi-Fi, external speakers, Bluetooth and even an attached iPod.

5. Empty the CD/DVD Drives

Even if you don’t intend to use it, don’t leave any CD/DVDs as leftovers in the drives. A spinning drive sucks battery power like a sponge.

6. Go local

Desist using the DVD/external drives while running on batteries. Shift the content to the hard drive or run using (free) virtual drives like Pismo File Mount or even Microsoft’s Virtual CD ROM Control Panel.

7. Lower the lights

The LCD screen of a laptop is another huge power sink. Calibrate the brightness to the lowest level you can tolerate using the Function key toggles or using the Display Settings applet in the Control Panel.

8. Kill the sounds

Mute the speakers and try avoiding the use of multimedia software to maximize the battery life. Installed sound schemes also drain a battery perceptibly.

9. Rid the screensaver

To maximize battery life by a little, switch off the screensaver.

10. Visit Power Options

Get familiar with power management through the ‘Power Options’ applet in the Control Panel. Both XP and Vista come with advanced power management features which shut off components like the monitor and/or the hard drive after specified intervals. This again depends on the chosen ‘Power Schemes’ (for XP) in the same applet. For instance in XP, ‘Max Battery’ under Power Schemes can be selected for maximum battery optimization.

Similar settings can be found under ‘Mobile PC’ in the Control Panel of Vista.

11. Turn off the looks

Today’s OS’s like Windows Vista come with features like ‘Aero Glass’ which are resource guzzlers. One can turn it off and go for the ‘Classic’ appearance which consumes less power. In Vista, click on Desktop – Preferences – View Colour – Appearance – Classic Appearance and Windows Basic graphical interface. In XP it’s – Display Properties – Theme – Windows Classic.

Linux and even Macintosh are better optimized for longer battery life.

12. Hibernate is better than Sleep

In the Stand By mode (or sleep mode), the computer turns of the hard drive and the display but memory remains active while the CPU slows down. This draws on the battery. In contrast, hibernation mode is better because the computer saves the current state and shuts itself down completely thus saving power.

13. Get the most…work on the least

Working on too many programs while on the battery is a sure fire power drainer. Keep use of graphic intensive applications to a minimum. Working on a spreadsheet consumes much less than playing your favourite game. To increase the life of the battery open just one or two programs concurrently.

14. Ram in more RAM

Adequate RAM reduces the load on Virtual memory which by default resides on the hard drive. Though every extra bit of RAM uses up more power, it increases overall savings by short cutting access to the power hungry hard drive.

15. Keep it clean

A laptop with blocked air vents will generate more heat thus reducing the life of the battery. Clean the air vents regularly to keep operating temperatures low. Allow for open space around the vents for air to circulate freely. Keep the area around the laptop clean to avoid entry of dust.

16. Temperature is a silent killer

Undue heat kills off a battery slowly but surely. Avoid leaving the laptop under direct sunlight or inside a closed car.

17. Avoid the memory effect

A problem more for the older Ni-MH batteries than for Li-Ion batteries on which most modern laptops run. Memory effect relates to the loss of battery charge when they are repeatedly recharged after being only partially discharged. It can be prevented by discharging the notebook battery fully and then completely recharging it. Li-Ion batteries on the other hand have no problems with partial discharges and re-charges and complete discharge is never recommended for this type.

18. Update software and drivers

This sounds a bit incongruous but then newer drivers and software are often designed to be more efficient (and hopefully less resource hungry).

19. Use the right adapter

Ensure that the adapter you use to charge the laptop battery is an original one or one with the correct specifications. A mismatch in the wattage could cause an overload thus damaging the laptop and the battery.

20. Pack it up

If you don’t plan to use the laptop on batteries for quite some time, ensure that the charge is nearly 40 percent – remove the laptop batteries and store it in a cool place.

A typical lithium ion battery has an overall average life of 2-3 years. With some care and caution, its mortality can be delayed.

Show You Why Laptop Battery Won’t Charge Or Short Power Life In Notebook

Warning! Before Disassembling Laptop always remove notebook battery. This draft troubleshooting procedure is intended for people who know what they are doing around electricity. It’s offered “as is”, not as professional advice

laptop battery tips
Note that these steps correspond with decision points on the flowchart and are reached directly by clicking on the diamond symbols. The text below cannot be read sequentially.

Needs AC Adapter to boot? The first step in troubleshooting your laptop battery is determining whether it can hold enough charge to boot the notebook. Will the laptop power up and run on the battery, or does the AC adapter which doubles as the laptop battery charger need to be plugged in? Modern notebooks usually have a whole array of status LEDs that will tell you if the laptop senses good power coming from the battery charger and whether or not the battery is charging. Unfortunately, there’s no universal standard for these LEDs, their colors or their actions. Note also that we’re using the term “boot” rather loosely here. If the laptop powers up on battery, you can hear the fans and the drives, your troubleshooting problem lies elsewhere.

All laptop batteries are USA Stock, Manufacturer Warranty.

Life Of Battery Too Short? This is the main problem laptop owners complain about, and often for good cause. Older laptops using Ni-Cad and early Ni-MH batteries often ran for 2.5 to 3.5 hours when brand new, but within a month or so, would barely keep the notebook powered up for an hour. Newer laptops using Ni-MH and Li-ION batteries are much better, often holding onto a three hour life through hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. The first line of defense against complaints about battery life by the manufacturers is always, “Did you charge and operate the battery according to the manual?” Unfortunately, different laptop manufacturers seem to disagree over how to best treat batteries of the same technology, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the differences extend to different models from the same manufacturer.

If the laptop’s battery life has been slowly degrading over time, it’s probably operating more or less in accordance with plan, but if you find the operating life shortened by more than 15% or 20% within the first few months, there’s probably something wrong. Batteries of all technologies can be “trained” to perform poorly through non-ideal usage patterns, but the Li-ION battery technology is pretty resistant, and as long as you run them all the way down once a month or so, you can probably prevent any serious charging memory issues.

Is Battery New? Purchasers of brand-new laptops are often surprised to find the battery is dead, or runs down very quickly. Even if the battery was fully charged when the laptop was boxed for shipment, that box may have been sitting in a warehouse for six months or a year before you purchased it in a store, more than enough time for a notebook battery to self discharge to an appreciable degree, even if it’s not being drawn upon. If the battery isn’t new, and you just received the laptop as a hand-me-down or purchased it second hand, there’s no reason to expect that a short battery life is due to anything other than an aged battery. You can try to recondition the battery (see the laptop manufacturer website for for software that may be available), but odds are the battery simply can’t hold a charge the way it did when it was new.

User Condition Battery? Some manufacturers may condition the battery before installation in the laptop, others expect you to read the owners manual instructions and do it yourself in the first few days you own the laptop. The most general procedure is to charge the battery fully before use (leaving it on the AC battery charger overnight is best), and then to run exclusively on battery until the battery is discharged. Some brands suggest you run until the operating system warns of low battery life remaining, which could be anywhere from 10% to 3% remaining on standard settings. Others recommend that you run the laptop until it shuts itself down. This doesn’t mean that you have to sit there working for three or four hours, you can run the battery down over multiple sessions over multiple days. The important thing is not to plug the AC power adapter back in and start recharging the battery until it is completely run down. The condition process generally requires you to go through this cycle three times in a row.

Runs Always With Battery? If the owners manual for your notebook suggests removing the battery when plugged in for prolonged periods, doing so may greatly prolong the battery life in terms of both charge cycles and years. Personally, I tend to be lazy and just leave the battery in all the time, despite the fact I almost always work plugged in. The battery life on the first couple Toshiba’s I owned dropped down to a half hour or so of running time within a few months my buying them, so it may have been my fault. Li-ION batteries are much more friendly to poor power management habits, but you should run them down to empty once a month to keep them from developing a memory.

Battery conditioning means training the individual battery cells into a pattern of giving as much power as they can and accepting the largest charge that they can. It would take an advanced chemistry text and a person much smarter than I to describe the underlying reasons for battery memory, and the techniques for best charging and storing batteries sometimes contradict one another. Once a laptop battery pack is conditioned, you may still need to run it all the way down once a month for best performance, especially if you normally work with the laptop plugged in. It’s important to read the owners manual section on battery life, because different models ship with different battery technologies, and the best practices to extend the battery life may not be the same.

Lives Longer In BIOS? – This is one of the few troubleshooting diagnostic tests you can do at home to find out if your battery life problem is due to a hardware flaw or to the way the laptop is being operated. Enter the BIOS setup immediately after turning on the notebook on with a fully charged battery, usually by hitting the Dell key, the F1 or F2 key immediately after you power on. Some laptops display a text message telling you what key you need to hit to enter the BIOS setup, on others the message is suppressed by a BIOS setting, but you can always go online and Google the right key combination if it’s not in your manual. Once you bring up any BIOS screen, measure the time it takes the laptop battery to run down. If it doesn’t outlast the battery life under regular usage by a good margin, the short battery life is probably due to a faulty battery or a hardware failure that causes the laptop to continually suck power when it shouldn’t.

Laptop AC Adapter Noisy? For starters, this is one of those problems that tends to bother more women than men, because men lose their high frequency hearing at a much earlier age than women. Battery chargers typically include a transformer and some power IC’s, at least a bridge rectifier. There’s a lot of potential for humming and whistling with transformers, but they can go on operating that way for years without failing. If the battery charger gets very hot, then it’s time to check the manufacturer specs for temperature and see if it needs replacement, and check the battery temperature as well. In all cases, the acoustic behavior of your AC power adapter and charger may naturally vary with the quality of the power from the utility, and the feed voltage if you are traveling. Anytime you can avoid running a computer on poorly regulated or intermittent utility power you should do so, but at least with a laptop you’re better off than with a desktop.

OS Battery Management Active? Older notebooks were equipped with hardware only battery management schemes that controlled both charging and battery operation. All new laptops ship with ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) which is a marriage between BIOS routines that monitor board level charging and device activity, and the operating system. The operating system power management comes equipped with a number of default profiles that instruct the laptop if and how to nurse the battery. There’s usually a power user profile that just runs full out with no consideration of battery life, a number of special purpose profiles, such as running a DVD movie for a sole task, and a miserly setting that cuts performance to a minimum and puts devices like the hard drive to sleep when not in frequent use.

You can micro-manage these profiles to suit your needs, and you can always go into the settings and override them or change the profile at any time. The most useful trick to remember for running on battery is how to brighten or dim the LCD screen using the the function screen. Screen brightness is a serious power drain (you’re essentially powering a small fluorescent lightbulb) and in most indoor usages, strategic choice of where you sit can add time to your battery life. When troubleshooting battery life issues, you may want to run a power management profile that doesn’t come up to your expectations for performance for a few battery cycles just to help diagnose the problem.

DC Voltage Good? Check the voltage at the output of your AC adapter with a DC voltmeter, right on the barrel connector that gets plugged into the laptop. The rule of thumb for acceptable readings on power adapter output is usually a 5% variation either way of the faceplate voltage, and in terms of charging a battery, a high reading is better than a low reading. If you’ve purchased a lightweight battery charger for travel, don’t assume that it’s putting out the correct voltage just because there’s a connector that fit your notebook. Check your owners manual or the label on the original battery charger that came with the notebook.

LED For Charging Blink? While there’s no universal standard, a blinking LED on the battery charge indicator is probably not good news. It often indicates a battery that has been over-discharged, the voltage is so low that it’s confusing the charging circuitry into thinking the battery has a dead cell and would just overheat if a charge is pushed into it. The newer the laptop, the smarter the charging logic, and it won’t want to try putting a charge into a battery that may damage either the battery or the notebook itself. In some cases, you’ll be able to recharge an over depleted battery if you wait until the notebook is shut down, install the battery, and then plug in the the battery charger, but I’d keep a close eye (and occasional finger) on it for overheating. There are also fuel gauges built into some newer batteries that simply disable the battery when it reaches it’s planned cycle life.

Does Battery Get Hot? Recently there have been a spate of high profile stories in the media about laptop batteries catching fire. This wasn’t caused by normal heating due to charging. The problem was in the manufacturing process of the individual cells, where apparently some contamination led to internal short circuits that could cause the battery to overheat even if it wasn’t in use. Laptop batteries normally heat up a little on charging, and they heat up even more when discharging under heavy demand. Battery packs usually include a temperature cut-off circuit, that will halt battery charging or discharging if it really overheats. In some cases, the battery will not be usable afterwards because the cut-off acts like a circuit breaker that can’t be easily reset.

It certainly doesn’t do your laptop battery any good to get very hot, even if it’s within the toleration of the protective circuitry, so if it’s overheating on discharge, consider running on AC power instead. Just remember you have to shut down before removing the battery unless it’s specified as being hot-swapable:-) You can also try decreasing the performance settings to lower the power drain. If the battery is overheating on charging, you can try charging when the laptop is turned off since the laptop is generating heat as well. Also, pay attention to the ambient air temperature. All notebook computers depend on the ambient air for cooling, so unless you are running the computer on a special cooling pad, think twice about using it on those 110 degree days!

Latch Locks Tight? It’s impossible to see what’s going on with the connector contact inside the battery compartment once the battery is installed, so the only indicator you have to proper installation (aside from normal operation) is the condition of the latch. If the latching mechanism doesn’t show a positive close by clicking back to the relaxed position, try reinstalling the battery. Some laptops have a manual battery lock that is operating separately from the latches, and which will not lock unless the battery is installed properly. If the latches refuse to click closed on their own, remove the battery again, visually inspect for any bulging or distortions in the package, and check the connector for damage.

How to Search Twitter List Archives

NsyghtLogoTwitter lists are a beautiful thing, a great way to gather together expert opinion on any topic. If you thought Twitter’s own search was bad at retrieving archival conversations, though, is archival search of Twitter lists too much to dream of?

It may not be anymore, thanks to a startup called Nsyght. Nsyght has been around for a few years now, and it does a whole lot of things for and beyond Twitter, but the service’s newest feature is what really moves the needle for me: The ability to filter and search the archives of the lists of people I’m following. I can see what Chris Grayson’s Augmented Reality Peeps list has said about Google over the past few months, or what the members of the Enterprise Irregulars said about the much-tweeted #Workday analyst demo event earlier this week. Hello, useful!

Nsyghtstream

Above: What the Facebook community has Tweeted about Twitter of late.The service isn’t perfect, and founder Geoffrey McCaleb says it takes a few minutes after a user creates an account on it for his work-around of the Twitter API to archive a backlog of all your followed accounts.

It appears the archives are going back about two months right now, and it sure would be nice to see them go back further. Google’s new Realtime search today went back to February of this year. Times prior to that may forever be known as the Dark Era, before anyone other than Twitter was caching the firehose so that it could be searched.

For a bootstrapping team that says it can’t afford the price Twitter charges for its Firehose, this is pretty good. I was unsatisfied last night, but woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to search the archives of the lists I was subscribed to. The system is far from perfect, but it’s also far better than anything else I’ve found to fulfill this function. Thanks Nsyght!

How to Fix an 18V Power Tools Battery – drill battery tips by g-batteryshop.com

How to Fix an 18V Cordless Power Tools Battery

Instead of scrapping it, fix your 18-volt drill battery pack. New battery packs are a costly investment, particularly for heavy users of cordless drills. Fixing your 18-v drill battery pack is similar to jump-starting a dead battery on your car. This method works for nickel cadmium and nickel hydride battery packs.

Instructions:
  1. Determine the positive and negative leads on your battery case using the volt meter. To make it easier to reassemble your battery drill pack, mark the positive lead on your case.
  2. Open the battery case using a small screwdriver.
  3. Catch the small inside spring as you open the case. It tends to pop up when the case is opened.
  4. Save these easily lost pieces by placing the screws and spring in a small container.
  5. Pull out the internal battery pack.
  6. Note the point at which the wires from the top terminal lead go through the silver cardboard insulation piece. Mark this point so it is easier to reassemble. For photo, see Reference 1.
  7. Lift off the black terminal piece with a pair of needle nose pliers. Do not let the wires cross or touch during removal.

  8. Note the exposed metal tab on the remaining battery pack. It is important to insulate this piece with tape as it will be “hot” during the jump-start process.
  9. Remove the silver cardboard insulation piece and set aside.
  10. Expose the tops and bottoms of the battery cells by cutting off enough shrink wrap to expose them.
  11. Determine which battery cells will need jump-starting. It is likely that only a few of the cells are bad. Working on each individual cell, set the volt meter to 2. Any batteries with a reading of negative will need to be reconditioned.
  12. Mark each battery that needs to be reconditioned with a black marker. Once all batteries have been tested, begin the reconditioning process.
  13. Determine the polarity of the battery cells. The flat end is negative and the raised end is positive.
  14. Place the black alligator clamp from the 12 volt batter charger on the negative end of the battery.
  15. Use the red clamp to tap the positive, or raised end of the cell two or three times. Then hold the red clamp down for six seconds.
  16. Remove all clamps and retest that battery cell with the volt meter. If it reads 1 volt, it has been successful. If it reads less than 1 volt, then repeat the process on that battery cell. This process can be repeated up to 10 times.
  17. Continue the reconditioning process on each battery cell that you marked for reconditioning.
  18. Once completed, reassemble the battery pack.
  19. Place the reassembled 18-v battery pack back onto the drill and set on the charger to fully recharge batteries.

Tips & Warnings:

  • Put on gear to protect your hands, eyes and skin during this potentially hazardous process.
  • This process should not be performed on lithium ion batteries.
  • The cells within the cordless drill pack are wired together. They most often resemble C-size battery cells, with both a positive and a negative side of the battery. There is no need to separate these connections during the “zapping” process.
  • Don’t get your wires crossed or you may be in for an explosion.
  • This article serves as a guideline and does not take responsibility for injury to self, others, property or tools.

    5 Fundamentals for Success in Life

    success-in-life

    What can we do to become more successful? How can we excel in all areas of life, whether professional or personal? A vast body of literature has been written on this subject over the decades, but here are five points which I regard as being fundamental.

    5 Fundamentals for Success in Life

    1. Be Proactive

    Viktor Frankl said that between stimulus and response there is a gap, and within this gap lies all our freedom. Even as he was suffering immense privations in a Nazi concentration camp, he realized that he was responsible for his thoughts and actions and was not simply a bundle of conditioned responses.

    Like Frankl, we should strive to be the creators of our own destiny, orchestrating our experience of life. Everything starts in the mind and ripples out, so what happens around us is a reflection of our own inner world. Whether we allow our inner world to grow wild, whether we let weeds spring up and take hold or whether we cultivate a green and pleasant garden – it is all our choice: this is what it means to be proactive.

    2. Take Responsibility

    Since we have the power to choose our experience, we also need to accept responsibility for this. Perhaps not that everything that comes our way is a direct result of our own thinking (though some might say it is) but what we attract into our life is, largely, a reflection of our thinking. Much of this occurs on a subconscious level, but the subconscious takes its lead from the thinking mind, so changing our thoughts will change our world, and we are responsible for this.

    Our behavior is a natural outcome of our mental images, and so we are responsible for our behavior too, and also for the behavior we tolerate in others. If we allow others to ride roughshod over us, then we have ourselves to blame.

    3. Be a Good Leader

    We cannot be effective in any area of life unless we have good leadership skills. Leadership is an art and each of us needs to find our own approach to it. Primarily, we need to understand how to lead ourselves, and this means having a compass, a direction which guides all our actions. This compass often takes the form of a personal mission statement, a document spelling out the values we live by.

    As we lead others, whether as parents, bosses, in families or organizations of which we are a part, we need first and foremost to lead by example, making it clear what our values are and that we live by them. Any inconsistency in our professed values and our behavior will be spotted, seen through and will ruin our effectiveness. Personal complicity and double standards are the nails in the coffin of our ability to lead.

    A good leader will lead quietly and subtly, from the rear, without fuss, without fanfare. In the words of the Tao Te Ching,

    ‘A good soldier does not inspire fear;
    A good fighter does not display aggression;
    A good conqueror does not engage in battle;
    A good leader does not exercise authority.

    This is the value of unimportance;
    This is how to win the cooperation of others;
    This to how to build the same harmony that is in nature.’

    4. Don’t Let Fear Stop YouI love the movies of M Night Shyamalan. My favorite is The Village. The film is about facing the fears that haunt us and realizing that, when we do so, they disappear – nothing is as it seems. I heard once (though I can’t remember where) that the most commonly given command in the Bible is ‘do not be afraid.’

    Whenever we grow, there is fear. Whenever we do something new, there is fear. Whenever we push ourselves to new heights or expand our comfort zone, there is fear. This is the nature of life. Life is always moving – either we are moving forward, growing, or we are moving back, dying. We have a choice – we can either grow or we can die. Growth and fear go hand in hand. It’s part of a package, and if we fail to embrace the whole package, we will die.

    Don’t fear failure – failure is inevitable and necessary. Look at the life of any successful person and you will see a litany of failure. This failure is the foundation of success, so long as we learn from it.

    Don’t fear other people. They are as vulnerable and as beautiful as you are – only sometimes they lash out in various ways to protect themselves. Everyone is doing their best, so be gentle on other people and don’t be scared of them.

    When you face your fears, they will vanish like smoke.

    5. Never Stop Learning

    I have come to the conclusion that learning is the fundamental activity in a successful and purposeful life. If we fail to learn, we fail to grow, and this means that we die. Life gives us endless opportunities to learn, and the more difficult the situation, the more we are likely to learn.

    We can learn from other people, especially difficult ones – they are like angels sent from heaven to teach us about ourselves. We can learn from the things happening around us. And most of all, we can learn by watching ourselves, seeing how we react and reflecting deeply on what moves us.

    These five activities, if they can become habits, will lead to success in all areas of life. They are not a quick fix, but are the foundation of a life lived well.

    How To Get Your Website Backlinks Indexed Within Minutes

    Laptop Battery, Power Tools Battery Service

    Battery Service for quality battery shop: www.g-batteryshop.com

    Hey guys, it’s certainly been awhile. It seems as if I’ve been enjoying by summer too much and have been neglecting all of you. How terrible of me! Anyway, school is catching up, and I don’t know how frequently I will be able to post here, but we’ll see what happens. This post is the first of [hopefully] many “premium posts”. Basically, you guys should have been prompted with a gateway asking for you to complete a survey or pay a small fee. What this does it restrict the number of people who read certain methods, so that it doesn’t become over-saturated. I hope you guys don’t mind. It’s more of an experimental thing, so just roll with it.

    Note: Decided to ditch the whole premium thing. Enjoy this nice and long post!

    With my aggressive backlinking campaign for SEOCopter, I have begun to notice an annoying trend – Google just doesn’t want to pick up my backlinks! It’s gotten to the point where I check my Webmasters login to see whether or not I received any more backlinks. I know they are all out there, but Google doesn’t seem to pick them up.

    Of course, the primary reason why this is happening to me is because recently I have begun working with profile links. And as many of you already know, profile links can sometimes be very difficult to get indexed naturally because sites don’t typically link to someone’s profile. However, most other types of backlinks such as web 2.0, ezinearticles, blog comments, etc. are very easy for search engines to pick up because something on the site already links to the page with your backlink (usually in the “recent” or “newest” part of the site).

    Anywho, the fact is, getting these indexed is a pin in the arse. But I’ve found a way of speeding things up a bit. Quite a bit, actually.

    It’s all part of a process really. The more steps you complete, the faster the indexing will occur. But sometimes doing just one step is not enough, so prepare to do a little bit of work!

    The first, and most basic thing you should do is ping all of the profiles. I find that sometimes they get picked up immediately, and sometimes they don’t. I recommend PingDevice, as they accept multiple URLs (hundreds at a time) and ping them all through the ping-o-matic  service. It’s blazing fast and easy to do. If you have Bookmarking Demon or SeNuke, then the built-in pinging tools can come quite in handy.

    Next up, you’re going to create an XML feed list containing all your links. This way they are all in one handy-dandy place and search engines can rip right through the links you’ve placed. Creating one is rather easy. Just go to links2RSS and copy/paste all your links into the large box. Change the maximum number of links to 100. In theory, you should only put 100 links into a feed at a time. If you need more, just create more feeds. You want to do this because search engines won’t pick up every link if you put in too many. They get lazy and leave some behind if you put in too many

    Then, make the RSS feed title something relevant to your niches. Don’t just name it “links”. You want to make it less generic and more specific. Next, put in any link for the URL. Generally, I upload my XML links to the root of my domain and name it backlinks or something. So, if you want to do that, then just enter in http://www.g-batteryshop.com/sitemap.xml. Otherwise, you can always use the link that links2RSS provides for you.

    As for the link titles and description, spin them heavily, but put something generic. In fact, they don’t even have to make sense. Just make sure you spin them a lot (use lots of synonyms) because search engines tend to like that.

    Now hit convert, and copy the link that the page provides, and don’t forget to download the XML file as well. Now you have to decide whether or not you want to host the XML file on your domain, like I mentioned earlier. This is recommended, because if you can get spiders visiting that part of your site everyday, then your backlinks will get indexed pretty much on a daily basis, which is awesome.

    Anyway, upload the XML file where you want, and get that link. With whichever link you have (the link2RSS one or your own), we’re going to need spiders crawling through them. Here, I will order things out:

    1. Ping the XML link – This one is simple. Just go to Ping-O-Matic or the previously mentioned PingDevice and ping away!

    2. If you have Scrapebox, use the Rapid Indexer and RSS Submission/Pinger components. Just load up the link and submit away. This usually takes care of things nicely. Also, you can use the Rapid Indexer add-on directly on the backliniks you are trying to index as well (but this isn’t enough on its own).

    3. Use software like RSS Bot or RSSSubmit to submit your XML feed containing the links to various feed directories.

    4. Go to Feedlisting and submit your feed there. Google loves this site, and will find your XML feed with ease. Make sure to pick a unique title!

    5. Open an account at identi.ca and make a few non-spammy updates. Then, simple make an update containing the link to your XML feed. It will appear on the homepage of the site and spiders will visit your feed in no time!

    Personally, numbers 4 and 5 are my favorite, since they are free and easy (as well as effective).

    Now the final step in all of this is optional, but nice in any case. You can convert your XML feed into an HTML page (using various converters online) and then bookmark the HTML page. I mostly use Digg for this, since it works like magic.

    In any case, you will soon see your backlinks getting picked up in no time. But of course, sometimes it’s best to just let search engines find them naturally. But for those nasty profile links, these will do just the trick!
