All in one printers integrate all the important machines that a modern office needs, a printer, a copier, a fax machine and a scanner. It can even includ some Internet capabilities and email service. They come as a great substite for all the various gadgets that were used in the past. Working places in the past decades were full to the ceiling with various types of machines and technological devices: printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, computers all were huddled together to form the mess in the working place, so stressful for everyone.But now things have changed: now we have those lovely all in one printers whose only purpose is to alleviate the stress and make the team work easier. But do they succeed in doing this? Imagine what happens in an office where ten people are striving to get some operation done from a single machine. Some of your colleagues want to make copies of a document, others want to send a fax, others to scan something…The needs of working people has surrounded the all in one printer, and really makes it hard to feel the team work in action. When everyone wants to use the same machine, stress in work is the logical consequence. People start to fight over the machine. Everything is a mess. Imagine what would happen if this superior all in one printer broke up for a while? No-one in the office would be able to do their job. What's more, the repair would really cost a fortune.So, as you may already have noticed, all-in-one printers are not that grand. They have their strong points , as they really free some space in the working office. They make things easier to control. They put an order to the whole working process. But in the same time, these machines create other forms of chaos, even more difficult to overcome. They make people fight over stupid things such as who to be the next to use the all in one printer. Thus they create instability in the team working process. Another negative effect is that once they break, the whole work will be forced to cease until repair of the printer is done.Thanks to the modern technology, people can now avail of the wonderful opportunity of having everything in one place. The all in one printer has put everything in order. But it has also created another order, which can be really stressful for the working people. That's why we should be careful when praising the technological advancements: they have done great job, but missed some important details as well.Morgan Hamilton offers expert advice and great tips regarding all aspects concerning computers.

Bird Flu Hits Close To Home. What then?
Author : Paul Madrid
When the first outbreak of H5N1 was found on the tourist island of R?gen in Germany the country took action. Here's a look at how Germany reacted.January 2006: more and more carcasses from birds were being found in Eastern Germany. The Parks Board reckoned that was normal during a long and relatively hard winter.14 February: a tourist reported finding four dead swans on the east coast island of R?gen. A quick test indicated this could be H5N1, Avian Influenza (Bird Flu). Later that was confirmed.15 February: More dead birds were found. All domestic birds were immediately required to be in stalls. Government officials called an emergency meeting.16 February: It?s official! H5N1 is the cause of death of more and more birds on the island of R?gen.17 February: Country-wide birds are required to be in stalls or under protective cover. All hens, ducks, geese and turkeys must be in stalls. Politicians discuss ways to better or refine their action plan.18 February: The Island of R?gen is placed under alarm. That means a security zone of 3 kilometers (2 miles) around the dead birds is in place and 10 km (6 miles) zone of observation is put in place. All cars, trucks and buses are disinfected and the selling of birds is stopped. All birds within the 3 km security zone are disinfected. Locals are asked to immediately report to the police, fire or veterinarian clinics any dead animals. They are told not to touch any bird, just to report it.19 February: Dead birds are now found on the German mainland.20 February: The whole east-coast of Germany is put under alarm and all counties of Germany were getting themselves prepared.In the mean time, fire-fighters, soldiers, experts and even volunteers are on the island of R?gen. Some are in masks, some are in full-protective suits to disinfect while others simply are there to watch and report on birds and answer questions of the locals. 1,280 protective masks were brought in, 1,550 disposable protective suits and 150 non-disposable suits, 1,200 safety glasses, 1,150 pair of rubber boots, 1,700 pair protective gloves and 1000 liters of disinfectant. Around the zone a further 11,780 masks, 11,560 disposable suits, 10,072 protective goggles, 9,140 pairs of boots and another 5,000 liters of disinfectant were brought into reserve not to mention 39 special epidemic cots. By now there were 370 people there to help.The moral of this story? First, don?t panic. When H5N1 Avian Influenza breaks out, there is much which can be done. Tests are getting better and faster for dead animals and as more and more countries are affected, so too is the reaction process checked and re-checked. Note at the beginning it was a tourist who reported the dead swans. Your responsibility is to keep a watch out and report anything strange ? such as four or five dead birds together. Also noteworthy is the reaction of the people in Germany. There was no panic ? remember that this is an ongoing battle ? and there was lots of help. Although the Minister of Agriculture Dr. Till Backhaus had hoped for even a faster response time, there is no doubt that this was well handled. It was also an excellent example for other countries when Bird flu hits close to home. Paul Madrid is a minister, author of several Avian Bird Flu publications and web host at ?H5N1, avian (bird) influenza and you."

Government will reverse mesothelioma ruling
Author : Michael Hanna
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer has announced changes to compensation laws which will mean victims of asbestos-related cancer will receive full compensation. The announcement follows the House of Lords ruling in Barker v Corus in May this year that prevented thousands of mesothelioma victims from receiving a full payout . The decision reduced the amount of compensation to which they were entitled when employers and their insurers were unavailable to be sued, as well as making the whole process of claiming compensation longer and more costly. In response The Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer and John Hutton, the Work and Pensions Secretary, will amend the Compensation Bill - currently going through Parliament - to reverse the ruling. The amendment will mean that negligent employers will be jointly and severally liable and that claimants will be able to recover full compensation from any one employer. Peter Williams, a partner in the Asbestos Claims Department at Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, said: "I am delighted the government has promptly indicated their intention to restore the rights of those suffering from mesothelioma to claim full compensation from any one employer. "Whilst we do need to look at the detail and timing of the legislation we hope to be able to tell our clients and their families we can deal with their cases speedily and that they no longer face the prospect of losing large amounts of compensation through no fault of their own." About 1,900 people die in the UK each year from mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs or abdomen, which is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP is one of the countrys leading asbestos disease claims firms.

5 Reasons Why Participating in Forums can Benefit Your Business
Author : Rebecca Gilbert
Did you know that by simply participating in various forums and posting your various views and ideas, can potentially bring new growth and life to your online business?Let’s look at some of the positive aspects that forum participation can bring to your business.1. We are all looking for traffic to our websites and if we can get it for free with little effort, that’s even better. Did you know that when you sign up as a new member at a forum, you can usually create a “signature†line that will be attached to every post that you make in a forum? This signature line can contain your website address, and as other members read your post, this will provide another route for potential customers to find your website.2. One of the worst things about trying to advertise on the Internet is the lack of trust between website owners and customers. Everyone is afraid of being scammed. A good way of building trust with potential prospects is by giving them a chance to get to know you, and by letting some of your knowledge, honesty and integrity show in the post that you make at a forum.3. Most webmasters on the Internet exchange links with other like sites, because exchanging links will boost your link popularity. It’s a proven fact that you get higher search engine rankings when your site has a high PR due to your link popularity. But did you know it’s even better if you have a link pointing to your site that isn’t reciprocated? Every post that you make in a forum will create a one way link pointing to your website. If you make 1000 post in a year, you have potentially created 1000 back links pointing to your site. As the search engines crawl the Internet and detect all these links pointing to your site, your website is going to move toward the top of the search engine listings.4. Running a business on the Internet can be a very lonely occupation. There is very little interaction with other people and this can be devastating to some. By participating in forums, you will meet other people who have online businesses and who have a lot in common with you. It’s sometimes comforting to know that there are others who share your occupational frustrations, and will be there to support you if you need them.5. It’s a proven fact that two minds are better than one. Everyone goes through learning curves on the Internet. Whether that learning curve involves starting out, building websites, search engine optimization, or the millions of other things that you must be prepared to do on the Internet to establish your business, there is someone in your favorite forum that has been there and done that. These people will be more than happy to give you free consultations.Best wishes to you,About The AuthorRebecca Gilbert is a successful business owner and webmaster who has provided free consultation to hundreds of people who were getting started on a home business.

Easy Navigation in the Woods or on the Water with the Garmin eTrex GPS Handheld
Author : NS Kennedy
I am an expert navigator with a map & compass but neither is as effective or as easy as the eTrex.I highly recommend the Gramin eTrex as a basic navigational aide. It's also a great starter for learning about GPS systems. It does everything it's meant to and does it very well.Garmin's claims of one handed usage are for real, it is easy to navigate the interface with the solid buttons on the unit."The Garmin eTrex GPS has one of the longest battery lives on the market, another major influence to purchase, and because it is only powered by two AA batteries, the maintenance costs are minimal. I highly recommend the Garmin eTrex GPS to users of any skill looking for a quick, reliable and inexpensive GPS fix.Nothing fancy about this unit -- other than the remarkably easy to use interface. Its not possible to do better in this price range.The Garmin eTrex GPS works well (superbly well) for the sea kayaker. It's waterproof. You can pre-plot a destination if you know the coordinates. You simply utilize the "go to" feature and the eTrex points the way.Like most modern hand-held units, the eTrex generates its own map of your movements as a visual tracklog or 'breadcrumb trail'. For retracing your steps ('Trackback' mode) you will see all the detail you will ever need.
