A Smartphone That Can Truly Do It All
Impressive features are a constant for many of the new phones being released. Touch screens are pretty standard, as well as cameras. There are also phones that can do even more like being a music player or video camera. Yet if you want a phone that can do all of this and more better than most do, you will need to look at Nokia. The N8 from Nokia is a phone that can eliminate your camera and ipod.
The quality of the camera on this phone is better than what most digital cameras can offer. The lens is made by Carl Zeiss, one of the leaders in lens technology. It also can take pictures of up to 12 mega pixels in quality. A feature that is also valuable is the ability to take high definition videos in 720p. Usually a digital camera will not have this ability and a phone that does is diamond in the rough. The phone comes with a standard 16 giga bytes of internal memory in order to store all of your files. The phone also includes the ability to grow this memory to 32 giga bytes with a micro sd slot. This means that you will have no trouble storing all of the information you need to on this phone. 16GB will be enough for most users, but the ability to expand two times that is great for those with a lot of music. The phone comes unlocked by Nokia when sold. This is great since you can use the phone on different carriers, giving you lots of flexibility to choose. This way you do not have to sign any service contracts to get a phone and you can avoid early termination fees. This phone is used on 3G GSM networks so it won’t work on Verizon or on Sprint. It can really stink being stuck with the same phone for many years so don’t let it happen. The ability to get phone upgrades is being cut off by many different carriers. Instead get a phone that is already farther ahead in technology than most of the phones carried by the main carriers. This will allow you to avoid a contract and save you upgrade costs for many years to come.Will Vitamin C Supplements Improve Your Health?
Vitamin C supplements have been trendy for a while, but doctors are changing their tune on why and how you should take them. The most current findings may change why and how you take vitamin C.
Why do you need vitamin C? For years vitamin C has been touted as the cold prevention and cold remedy solution, but the latest findings tell us vitamin C doesn’t help us fight or recover from colds. It does, however, lower your vulnerability to heart diease and cancer, which are much more significant than a cold, and it also is hoped to slow eyesight degeneration associated with age. What are the best natural sources of vitamin C? If you eat plenty of citrus fruits, and a generous amount of supplemental fruits and vegetables, you’ll get a lot of vitamin C. You can also carefully select beverages and foods that are fortified with vitamin C. Take this into consideration when determining supplemental dosages. How much is enough? Healthy adults should get a minimum of 75 mg and a maximum of 2000 mg a day. Anytime you take over 2000 mg, you will risk unpleasant side effects. Children should be dosed per age; check with your doctor regarding your child’s weight and age to determine the proper dosing. Pregnant women should show extra caution not to exceed recommended amounts, since mega-dosing has been loosely linked with preterm birth and scurvy in newborns. Should you take vitamin C supplements? Doctors are questioning the value of vitamin C supplements when compared to the benefits of eating a diet rich in vitamin C. It appears that the best benefits come from natural sources of vitamin C, but it can be difficult to get enough vitamin C just through diet. It may be best to take a vitamin C supplement with food for optimal effects. Vitamin C supplements are currently still considered a good idea, but you should still try to eat as much vitamin C as possible through your meal plan choices and use supplements to close the gap.Making Sure People Know About Your Book
One of the most important things for you to realize if you have written a book – and especially if you have self-published a book, or have been published by a small press – is that you are going to have to do a lot of the promotional work on your own; this is not necessarily a bad thing, however, as you can do a lot more on your own than a publishing house could ever hope to do – and when you do these things, you will be able to create a significant spike in sales.
Creating a strong web presence so that people know you are around is the first thing you will want to do (which you will want to be working on even before your book is published – but it is never too late to start, if you have pushed off doing this!); you can do this by running a good website, and you can add to this web presence of yours by mining such sites as facebook, goodreads, and twitter. After your website (and the rest of your web presence) is up and running – where you are using it a means by which to interact with others and make sure they know that your book exists – you will want to start using these contacts to do some giveaways; you can do giveaways of your book, or even of another item you have purchased, as such giveaways will give others a chance to help you spread the word about your book, which will help you quite a bit in the long run. And when you are trying to make sure people know about your book, one of the biggest things you will need is patience; it is natural that you will want to see huge sales numbers right away, but the longer a book is out there, the more people will know about it – and the more people who know about it, the more your success will grow. Continue to do whatever you can to get the word out there, and eventually you will start experiencing that success you long to achieve.A Look At The Kindle Fire Versus The Kindle
If you have been thinking of getting an ebook reader, or if you have been thinking of picking up a tablet, you may have noticed a lot of buzz lately about the Kindle Fire (you will especially have noticed buzz on this device on Amazon itself, as they created the Kindle Fire, and as they have been pushing it vigorously) – and with all this buzz surrounding this device, you may have been wondering whether you shouldn’t scrap the Kindle from your shopping list and pick up a Kindle Fire instead; in order to answer this question, of course, the first thing you will need to understand is exactly what each device is used for.
The Amazon Kindle is primarily a device that is intended to be used for reading ebooks, as well as newspapers and magazines, and is truly an “ebook reader,” and while this device is certainly the leader in the field of available ebook readers, it is limited to doing exactly this – allowing you to read ebooks and other print material right there in your hand, on demand. The Amazon Fire, on the other hand, is still an ebook reader (just like the Kindle), but it is much more akin to devices such as the iPad than to other ebook readers; in addition to allowing you to read books, the Fire will enable you to play games, download apps, surf the Internet, and even watch movies – all in a stunning, full-color picture (and none of which you could do on a basic Kindle!). If you are trying to decide which of these two devices you should pick up for yourself, you should not ask which is better, but should instead ask which is better for you, as some people will get plenty of use out of the Kindle Fire, while others really need nothing more than exactly what the basic Kindle provides. No matter which option you end up choosing, you will have a great deal on a great product (the Kindle is only $80, and the Kindle Fire is only $200 – far less expensive than other tablets on the market!), and you will know that you have the quality that comes from purchasing a product from Amazon’s Kindle line!Answering The Question: Why Should I Buy A Kindle?
The Amazon Kindle is one of the most popular items these days, and if you are into books (or really, if you are into reading of any sort!), you may have had friends who tried to talk you into buying one, and in fact, you may have even been tempted to purchase one – but for many people who have been tempted to purchase a Kindle and have not yet done so, one of the big reasons why is because no one has answered the question for them: Why should I buy a Kindle?
The fact that many people feel reading a book on the Kindle will feel a lot more like reading a computer screen than like reading a book is one of the big things that causes people to shy away from the Kindle, but while holding a screen in your hand, instead of holding a book, is certainly different, you should realize that the screen is designed in such a way that looking at it is like looking at a book, rather than looking at a computer screen, and the Kindle also gives you the ability to highlight text, place bookmarks, and even write notes! Once you have come to realize that the “negatives” you may have perceived about the Kindle are actually fallacies, you will also want to know what the positives are about the Kindle, and the biggest positive of all is the ability the Kindle gives you to carry around hundreds of books at once. When you travel, you will no longer have to try to decide which books you can bring, and no longer must you hold something bulky and unwieldy when you want to relax at night, but instead, you can now carry one small device around and choose from any book you want! And of course, the fact that purchasing books on the Kindle will cost you a lot less money than purchasing books from a bookstore would does not hurt – as this means that, over time, the Kindle will actually pay for itself; when you combine this with the facts that there is no computer glare to deal with and that you can carry around hundreds of books at once, this makes it pretty obvious why it would be beneficial for you to own a Kindle!How To Get Sleep On A Plane
You probably do not have much trouble sleeping on a plane if you fly all the time (or if you are the sort of person who can sleep just about anywhere) – but sleeping on a plane can be a challenge if you only travel every once in a while, or if you have a hard time sleeping in unfamiliar (and uncomfortable!) places; of course, a plane would be a great place for sleeping if you were able to doze off, because sleeping on a plane would enable you to fall asleep in one place and wake up in another, feeling rested and ready to keep going with your day – and if you take just a few simple steps, you will be able to make sleeping on a plane much easier for you!
One reason lots of people experience difficulty falling asleep on a plane is that they are unable to get comfortable, and while you will probably not be able to get as comfortable on a plane as you would be able to get in your own bed, you can increase your comfort with a good pillow; with a U-shaped pillow that you can fit around your neck, you will be able to lean back comfortably, thereby edging your body and mind closer to that greatly-desired sleep. The fact that there is more light and noise than people are used to is another thing that tends to give them problems on a plane; many people who have long thought it was impossible for them to sleep on a plane have found that all they needed was to insert some ear plugs and put a sleeping mask over their face, and this was enough to help them doze off for the duration of the flight. And if you are going to be taking a long plane ride – one on which being able to sleep will be a necessity, instead of just a luxury – you will want to go overboard in trying to make yourself tired before the plane is set to leave. Try to limit your sleep the night before you board the plane, and skip your morning coffee (or anything else you typically consume to help you stay awake), and this will make it much easier for you to drift away as the plane takes off, and to make the long flight pass much more quickly.Tips For Training Your Puppy Not To Whine
One thing that is especially great about having a puppy is how cute they can be – and in fact, puppies can sometimes be so cute that it is easy for you to overlook those times when they are doing things that they should not be doing – but one problem with having a cute puppy that gets away with doing things it should not be doing is that it will eventually become an adult dog, and these bad habits will carry over; one of the worst “bad habits” a puppy can get into – and that can become permanent behavior if you are not careful – is whining, which can become especially annoying what it continues to happen all the time, even as your puppy grows into an adult.
You should be aware of the fact that your puppy is usually trying to tell you something if it is whining – but while this message it is trying to tell you will sometimes be important (for instance, “I need to go to the bathroom,” or “I don’t feel very good”), there will be lots of other times when your puppy is whining because they simply want attention; learn to discern why your puppy is whining, and if they are whining because they simply want attention, you will need to learn to not reward them for this behavior! Your puppy will usually stop whining for attention once you stop giving them attention as a reward for whining, but if you are unable to solve the problem this way, another thing you can do is find something your puppy dislikes – such as being sprayed with water from a spray bottle, or having a noise-maker shaken around them – and when they start to whine for attention, counteract their whining with this thing they do not like. When you consistently respond to their whining with this spray bottle, or with this noise-maker, they will no longer equate “whining” with “a means to getting attention,” but will instead begin to equate whining with whatever this thing is they do not like. And of course, you will not just want to repay bad behavior with a negative response, but will also want to repay good behavior with a positive response; when your puppy does good things, make sure you are rewarding them – and in this way, you will constantly reinforce positive behavior, while getting rid of the negative!Keeping Distractions Away When Working From Home
If you have ever worked from home, you have certainly come to understand and appreciate just how wonderful working from home can be; at the same time, however, you have certainly come to understand how difficult it can be at times to focus when you are working from home, and for this reason, it will be quite valuable if you are able to figure out a way to ensure that you are keeping distractions away when you are working from home.
One key to working from home without getting distracted is for you to have a “work spot” that you regularly use; it is easy to get in the (often bad) habit of moving around your house to whatever spot is most comfortable, but it is much better to pick a spot that is designated as your work spot – and to use this spot for work, and for nothing else – as this will put you in the proper mind for accomplishing work when you sit down in this spot. You should also realize that you will usually take breaks from work when you are working in an office – either to get up and walk around, or to chat with someone else, or to get coffee, or to simply give your mind a break – and when you are working from home, you should make sure you are still doing this; if you do not give yourself breaks from work, it will be easy for you to get burned out and start to lose focus, but with regular breaks, you will be able to work much harder during your work time. And sometimes, when you are working from home, it will be impossible for you to fully focus, no matter what you try doing; when this is the case, it is often helpful to get out of the house for a bit – either for a break, or to work from some place else! By keeping these tips in mind as you work from home, you will not only be able to enjoy all the benefits of working from home, but will be able to do so while also getting good work accomplished.Tips For Buying Used Electronics That Are In Great Shape
If you are the kind of person who cares nothing for electronics, you might be a bit “behind on the times,” but your wallet will probably thank you in the long run, as electronics are not only expensive, but they are also constantly progressing, and because of this, it can cost you a lot of money to keep up with the changing times; of course, one great way to save some money on electronics is to purchase used electronics, as this will enable you to get electronics that are practically new, for a fraction of the price – but of course, one issue with purchasing used electronics is that you could risk spending money on something that no longer works as well as it should.
Whether you are shopping on eBay or Amazon for used electronics, you should pay close attention to the descriptions that the person selling the product provides; you will notice that some people provide very detailed descriptions, while others have hardly any details in their descriptions at all – and if you want to make sure you are getting a product that is worth owning, you will want to stick with those who provide thorough descriptions. Pictures are another thing that will make it easier for you to determine whether a product is in great shape or not; just because a person does not include pictures of the product they are selling does not necessarily mean that the product is defective, but if you are able to find someone who includes pictures of what they are selling, this will certainly make it a whole lot easier for you to buy with confidence. And it will also be good to make sure that you are buying from people who have good seller ratings, as this will be a clear indication that the person from whom you are making the purchase has a track record of selling products that are in great shape. Of course, sometimes you will not be able to find a person with great ratings, or with lots of pictures, or with a detailed description of the product; if this is the case, check to see if they have a return policy – and if they do not, and you still want to purchase the product, you will just have to cross your fingers and hope!Examining The Coleman SunDome Tent
If you have been on the lookout for a new tent for camping or backpacking, you have probably started out by taking a look at tents from companies you already know and trust – and if this is the case, there is a good chance you have spotted the SunDome tent that Coleman makes; the SunDome tent comes in sizes ranging from one person to four people, and with a name like Coleman stamped onto the tent, you will certainly feel good about it at first – but one thing that may make you shy away from the Coleman SunDome is the price, as you might wonder if a tent that is so inexpensive could actually be any good!
One thing you will want to look at when shopping for a tent is how easy the setup of the tent will be, as you will not want to get out to your campsite and find that setting up your tent is a huge hassle; the Coleman is great as far as setup goes, as you can easily set it up in ten minutes on your own – and if you have someone else with you, you should be able to set up the tent in under five minutes! Another thing that will be important is finding a tent that will protect you from water, that will keep in heat, and that will effectively fit as many people as it claims to fit; the SunDome scores high on all these areas, as the rain fly helps to keep water out of your tent with no problem, as the tent does a moderately good job trapping heat, and as you can comfortably fit as many people in the tent as it is designed to fit. And if you plan to go backpacking with your tent (instead of just driving to a campsite and setting up your tent right there), another big deal will be the weight and ease of transport; the SunDome is extremely easy to transport, but the weight is one area where it is not quite as great as you might like. As long as you don’t plan to travel long distances, however, these couple extra pounds will be no problem – and you will have a tent that did not cost you much money at all, and that is extremely easy to set up and tear down each time you camp!
