Another Google Innovation – Google Wave!!!!

Google has always come up with innovative products. Here is a new one - Google Wave.

What is Google Wave?

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration between people from various platforms. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Learn more at http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html#video

When can I use Google Wave?

Although Google Wave can be used in lot of ways, here are few examples to demonstrate it.
1. Organising Events: Keep a single copy of your ideas, and items to discuss, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.
2. Group Projects: Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.
3. Photo Sharing: Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.
4. Meeting Notes: Prepare a meeting agenda together; share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page. Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback.
5. Brainstorming: Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm - live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discuss and then work together to distil down to the good ideas.
6. Interactive Games: Add a gadget to a wave to play live interactive games with your friends (we're hooked on Sudoku!). See everyone's moves as they make them in a fast-paced game or take a break and come back later.

What is the difference between target=_new and target=_blank in HTML Code?

Although target=_new and target=_blank seem to work in same manner, there is a big difference between them.

How to check expiry date of a LPG Gas cylinder?

We should take utmost care for safety while dealing with LPG Gas Cylinder. While receiving a LPG Gas Cylinder, we must verify if it is expired or not. In case it is expired, we must reject it and demand a new one.

Here are the steps to find out the expiry date of a LPG Gas cylinder:

--> On one of the three side stems of the LPG gas Cylinder, the expiry date is written alpha numerically. e.g. There will be an alphabet like A, B, C or D and a two digit number like 09, 11, or 12. An example of code is B10
--> The alphabets stand for quarters -
A for March (First Qtr),
B for June (Second Qtr),
C for Sept (Third Qtr), &
D for December (Fourth Qtr).
--> The two digits tell us the expiry year of the LPG Gas Cylinder.

Ex: Here B10 means the LPG Gas Cylinder is expired after June 2010.

Please understand that Safety is first priority. Everytime you receive a new LPG Gas Cylinder, first check the expiry date and take necessary action.

What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height and indicates the fat percentage in one's body.

As it is easy to calculate, it's usually used to determine whether individuals are normal weight, underweight, overweight or obese.

Body mass index is defined as the individual's body weight divided by the square of his or her height. Unit: kg/m^2

Formula:


Here is a list of BMI and what they indicate:

BMI range – kg/m2    Category
less than 16. 5               Severely underweight
from 16.5 to 18.4           Underweight
from 18.5 to 24.9      Normal
from 25 to 30                Overweight
from 30.1 to 34.9           Obese Class I
from 35 to 40                Obese Class II
over 40                      Obese Class III

So, if your BMI doesn't come in the range of 18.5 to 24.9, then you must take action to keep yourself fit.

What are SQM files? Can I delete them from C drive?

What are SQM files? Can I delete them from C drive?

Put the following code in the batch file:

@ECHO OFF
@ECHO Fast SQM File Seek and Destroy

DEL C:\*.SQM
@ECHO Done!
