Acne in the Grown Ups

Acne is a problem that shows up on kids in their late teens. Most treat it well before they enter adulthood, but most bring it along with them whn they become adults. But adult acne is not something that can be treated with ways of treating acne in teens. There are specialized products for that.

Fancy Christmas Decorations

Christmas is high winter time in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet, and it is usually a time when no one goes for work, and would like to spend the entire week till the new year indoors. Christmas is never complete without a christmas tree and Christmas wreaths to decorate and give the right ambience for the kids at home and the grown ups alike.

The best ISP for a hosting company

You should be in India if you have got anything at all to do with hosting. There is not one single web hosting company in the US that doesnt have something to do with India. Be it backend support, server monitoring, billing assitance or anything at all, companies would have tied up with someone in India for help.

So, if you happen to be running such a company in India, what is most suitable for you for internet connectivity? One major problem in India are frequent powercuts. The Electricity department is not good anywhere throughout the country. Corruption, and non maintenance of cables are the only reason. But this situation is changing in several parts of the country. Then again you have got UPS systems installed, if you are in serious business. So power is not something that we  should be worrying about.

BSNL provides you with the worst of services Never go for them. Airtel has got their own trans oceanic cable laid from Chennai to Singapore, so their service is supposed to be very good. Tata Indicom, formerly VSNL too has a good line that is connecting directly somewhere, but there are disruptions in the service. Never make the mistake of getting a connection from Relianc, Hathway is good, but DNS problems occur often.

You need to choose between a leased line and a broad band connection and the data transfer volume that you would require, which would depend on the number of PCs that you might be having at your facility. Instead of getting 1 single 2 Mbps line, you could go for 10×256 kbps lines, which might cost you a bit more, but you will have consistency of data flow to systems without any breakage.

Remember that you would be using a lot of server software to connect to and to monitor remote servers. You need lots and lots of data transfer limit, and a limited 2 Mbps connection would never suffice.

Nasa’s Beds

Foam bounces back. We Indians sleep on cotton beds. But there are beds developed by NASA to help astronauts to withstand the G forces during lift offs. Apparently this material is used at the bottoms and backs of the seats, and is now being commercially manufactured as beds. The material completely absorbs the weight of the body and distributes it evenly to the whole of its structure, and therefore you will find that your whole body is supported and there is no force that is actually pushing you up. This clearly means that you will have a good night’s sleep.

Babies jump up and down on beds, twist and turn and abuse their beds as much as they can, and therefore I guess this material would serve best as baby bedding even if grown ups can compromise on this mateiral.
