Preventing And Reversing Data Loss

One of the most stressful times that a simple student or employee may encounter is a loss of an important file on the computer. It can be a day of doom if you are due to submit your paper or make a presentation and at the worst possible moment your file is deleted. Thus, data recovery may be the answer you are looking for. Data recovery is technology that will help you to salvage lost data. First things first, you may want to take out your rolodex and try calling your tech-savvy friends to help you out. In case you have no more choice, you just might have to spend a little bit to get yourself a data recovery software or a specialist to help you out.



1. Determine What's Wrong: 

- your computer will not start at all

- blue screen of death

- your computer opens up but you cannot seem to find some of your other drives

2. Weird Sounds

Before doing anything, try to hear if there are any sounds coming from your hard drive like a weird scratching, scraping or ticking. If you do hear something like it, then it is enough to conclude that your hardware may be physically damaged. The only possibility for you is to take your computer to a data recovery service where experts might be able to get your data off for you. Of course, this would entail a lot of time and money, so you may want to weigh the value of the data you lost before going a step further.


3. Do-It-Yourself Data Recovery Tips: 

- Acquire and download software to help you out

- Not all software is free

- Attach your hard drive to another computer if your computer has only a single drive. This is to provide enough space to store all your data

- If your computer has a rollback safety feature, try and roll back to a previous saved state to restore damage


4. Possible Causes Of Damage: 

- Lightning strike

- Virus

- Hard drive failure

- Accidental deletion of data

5. Be Prepared - Make Backups

6. Back-Up Tips

- Try investing in backup software of good quality and performance. Products that leave you secured from data loss disaster or further computer file crashes are always a good investment.

- Double check the restore capability. The software should have features that guarantee that while the product is performing your back up it checks all the data down to the level of bits and bytes. 

- Double check the capability of your back up medium. Invest on the best back up software you can get and at the same time, for the purposes of prevention, start manually and diligently backing up your data regularly. 

- Do an inspection of your hard drives from time to time. Always be on guard of viruses and spywares that can possibly crash your hardware. Defrag your computer regularly to correct errors and check bad sectors as soon as they are detected.

- Be sure you conduct a proper documentation of what transpired during the data loss disaster, what you have observed, as it progresses and the things you attempted doing to give your files the first aid. This will help the data recovery expert to track the problem and recommend the best solution for your problem.

Navigating The Stock Trading Systems

Stock trading is the process of buying and selling shares of stock. Almost everybody has heard about the stock trading system, but not everybody knows how this trading system works. Most people wonder how it is possible to trade billions of shares everyday. It does not matter if you do not know the technical side of the system. However, if you are planning to engage in stock trading, you must have a basic understanding of how the stock trading system works. Stock exchanges use two basic methods to execute the trading. The first is on the exchange floor and the second is electronically. 

On the Exchange Floor
Hundreds of people rushing around, talking and shouting on phones, their eyes on computer monitors, and fingers on keyboards. This is the picture, which comes to our minds when we think about an exchange floor. Keeping in view this chaotic atmosphere, you might feel it a very complicated process to execute trading on the exchange floor. However, it is not as complicated as it seems at first. The following is a simple example that helps to understand the basics of how a trade is executed on the exchange floor. 

When you decide to buy a certain number of shares of a specific company in the market, you ask your broker to do it for you.

The broker passes your order to the order department, which then sends your order to the floor clerk working in the exchange. 

The floor clerk lets the floor trader of that specific firm know about your order. The trader finds another floor trader, who is willing to sell the number of shares you desire. This is where things look quite complicated, but it is not that difficult to comprehend. The floor trader has an idea, which floor trader will meet your requirement. The floor trader knows every detail about which floor traders trade in specific stocks. 

When the floor trader finds someone, who is willing to sell the shares, after a few negotiations, they finalize the price and complete the deal.

Depending upon the stock and the market, the complete process may take from a few minutes to a few hours. The broker then notifies you about the deal. 

Electronic Execution of Trading
The stock trading can also be executed through an electronic channel, where a firm does not need to deal with floor traders. It all works through a vast computer network that connects the buyers and the sellers. Indeed, it is more efficient and faster than the exchange floor. However, if you are looking to buy or sell shares individually, you still need to execute the process through a broker, as individuals do not get access to electronic markets. Your broker passes your order to the system, and the system in turn finds a buyer or seller for your order.

Customer Advice With Autoresponders

Ideally, when you carry out customer service, it is done on a one-on-one basis with each of your clients. That works very well in the offline arena but on the Internet, that simply will not do. Your clients are living all over the world, and there is no way that you can really deal with each one of them in person. That is where an autoresponder comes in.

Client assistance with autoresponders is quite simple. When an order is place, an autoresponder can send out the receipt for the sale, the information for accessing the product, and a thank you email. This happens whether you are logged in to your computer or on vacation in an exotic setting! But client assistance doesnt always end right there, and if you are absent from your computer, you may be letting your clients down!

For example, an older gentleman sees your product advertised and places an order. The purchase goes through just fine, and he receives the purchase details, the download information, and your thank you email. Your product is an ebook, compiled into a PDF file. This older gentleman doesnt understand what a PDF file is, and he has no idea what you have in mind by right click to download. He needs extra customer service for the product that he has purchased, and there is nobody available to help him. Nobody but an autoresponder.

Set up an autoresponder that will email out a roster of regularly asked questions or problems that deal with customer advice or how to access the 
purchase. Also set up a stand by autoresponder. If he sends a question to support, he must get an instant message by return letting him know that his message has been received, and how quickly it may be addressed. This will give him some measure of comfort, and in most cases, he may sit tight that agreed period of time for assistance. Nevertheless, if he doesnt know how to download the purchase, and he sends a message to support, and nothing happens, he could most likely become greatly dissatisfied in a very short length of time. The difference between a patient buyer and an furious customer is one simple autoresponder email that can and ought to be set up in less than five minutes.

In actuality think your order process carefully, and contemplate the potential problems that may occur for your clients. Get an autoresponder set up to address those problems, and you could discover that your customers are more likely to be more satisfied with your products, and extremely happy using your client assistance, or support, setup all because your autoresponders handle their problems immediately !

GPS In your Life

You may not realize it but it is getting harder and harder to live without GPS devices. Did you know that so many cell phones have GPS systems in them and so do cars and of course there are the GPS devices that you take camping and such. Every day a new form of GPS hits the market, in a few years we may have these systems implanted at birth!

Everyone can appreciate the ability to find their way around and find anything and anyone if they go missing and that is why these systems are getting to be so popular. I cannot imagine what I did before I had my GPS installed in my car. Now I can drive in any city anyplace in the world and never get lost. I do not even have to red the street signs the GPS will tell me where to turn and in which direction. 

When you have one of these systems in your car you will be able to track it when it gets stolen as well which is perfect with all of the cars getting stolen these days. Every year more car thieves are hitting the streets and now you can protect yourself by getting a GPS system installed in your car. Heck, some cars come with these systems already installed in them. These are just the thing to get in your next car.

GPS in phones are also great, they have actually been used to find people who were missing. You can track a person by the GPS in their phone just about anywhere. These are getting more and more common all of the time. 

Having a GPS system will save you an enormous amount of time and frustration, if you don’t have any GPS devices yet then you will want to hurry out and get one today. They will change your life forever.

Five Uses For GPS Systems

Perhaps you haven’t bought a Global Positioning System (GPS) yet because you don’t feel you need it. You can’t see going to the expense of buying one when you can get directions the old fashioned way – from other people or from a map. 

Many people are under the impression that the only benefit a GPS has for the average person is that it is a more convenient way to get driving directions. And while it is a very convenient way to map navigation, there is far more that the average person can do with a GPS than just use it for mapping.

Here are a few uses for a GPS that may get you thinking about purchasing one.

1.) A GPS can help you locate a lost child. There are several GPS devices on the market that are designed to be used for this purpose. Some look like watches that lock on a child’s wrist. Others look similar to cell phones. Some are even equipped with panic buttons that allow the user to press a button during times of distress, signaling that he needs help. The signals from these devices are often transmitted to a central location that will then call you on a predetermined phone with the location of your child. Of course, these devices can be used for other people besides children.

2.) A GPS can help you locate a lost pet. A tracking device is placed on your pet’s collar or in a special backpack that can be fitted to your pet. When your pet goes missing you can retrieve the information about its whereabouts through the type of transmitter that you have chosen. Two popular methods of retrieving the information are through a cell phone and the Internet. There are also software programs available that will alert you if your pet has gone out of boundaries that you have predetermined. 

3.) When working in conjunction with your cell phone, a GPS can allow you to call for assistance from anywhere, and your location can be tracked. This means that if you get into a car accident in a location that is difficult to identify, emergency vehicles can easily find where you are. Or, if you are hiking in the woods and become injured, help can track you down.

4.) You can use your GPS as an exercise monitor. If you walk, run or cycle regularly and like to change your route frequently, a GPS is a great tool to use. It can let you know how fast you are moving. It can also tell you how much distance you have covered. You can easily ensure that you get the exact number of miles in that you want, even when you are taking an unfamiliar route.

5.) A GPS device can help you create a high tech scavenger hunt. A GPS scavenger hunt is much like a traditional scavenger hunt. Teams of people have to hunt down clues which lead them to their final destinations, often collecting items along the way. However, the teams use GPS handheld receivers to get from clue to clue as opposed to traditionally written directions.

These are just a few of the things that the average person can use a GPS device for. There are hundreds of other uses for a GPS that don’t involve driving directions.
