			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cloud computing refers to computers and applications that run remotely and are accessed over the Internet. In cloud computing, virtual machines run in large data centers and replace physical PCs and servers. By aggregating the computing needs of many users within a single center, economies of scale are achieved that result in significant benefits such as lower power utilization, simpler setup and maintenance, and easier upgrades to capacity and performance. Many applications can run unchanged as you redeploy them from local desktops or servers to the cloud</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ETL is abbreviation of extract, transform, and load. ETL is software that enables businesses to consolidate their disparate data<br />
while moving it from place to place, and it doesn’t really matter that that data is in different forms or formats.<br />
The data can come from any source.ETL is powerful enough to handle such data disparities. First, the extract function reads data<br />
from a specified source database and extracts a desired subset of data. Next, the transform function works with the acquired<br />
data – using rules orlookup tables, or creating combinations with other data – to convert it to the desired state. Finally,<br />
the load function is used to write the resulting data to a target database.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px} --><strong>Marriage</strong>! Your life is getting transformed into another world. The days prior to marriage will be filled with anticipation, pleasurable excitement and many dreams. For those couples whose love is turning into a legal bond there will be a blissful feeling. However for the prospective couple in arranged marriages the premarital days will be filled with many doubts. Here comes the major need for courtship.</p>
<p>Courtship period is the time when the would be couple get a chance to be with each other prior to their marriage. Those in arranged marriages must have overcome their initial tensions of bride viewing during these meetings. The courtship period may initiate with the formal meetings arranged by friends or relatives moving on to the couple plan to take their own private times.</p>
<p>Courtship plays an important role in the marital life that has to be followed. In an arranged marriage, the boy and the girl get a first chance to know each other during this period. They may develop their relationship from that of strangers to companionship during this period. At the same time they will get time to dicuss the manners, likes or dislikes, family, friends and future life during this time. The so far used &#8216;I&#8217; will slowly get shifted to &#8216;We&#8217; during this time.</p>
<p>The initial confusion during the courtship period is how to call the partner for a first date. Many prospective couple hesitate to take the initiation thinking that their partner or family may have misconceptions regarding the invitation. It is better to consider that the marital life will not be same as your love life. If a guy has called you for a date during your teenage days; this may not happen in a marital relationship. The calls for meetings can happen from both sides.</p>
<p>As you set out for a courtship with your fiancee or spouse, you may have a list of &#8220;Do not&#8221;s than &#8220;Do&#8221;s. There are some essential factors that you have to do in the courtship period. As a first factor, dress elegantly without showing much of your skin. You have to tell your negative and positive characters to the other person. You can ask him/her the personal likes and dislikes and express yours to your fiancee/spouse. You can even plan or arrange the future house, introduce friends or relatives and go for a pre marital counselling during this time.</p>
<p>Now, comes the golden &#8220;Do not&#8221;s in a courtship period. Never open up your mind until you understand the partner. You should not hesitate to think over the relationship if you get any negative signals from your partner. You do not have to confess the past crushes to the prospective partner as it may lead to jealousy in marriage. At the same time never try to dig into your partner&#8217;s past relationships; since you have much time to build up trust to each other after marriage. Above all these never indulge in any kind of physical relationship during the courtship period. This has to be waited till you get the legal and social approval on your wedding night.</p>
<p>Build up your emotional bond and keep the physical attraction lively during the courtship period. Get ready for a wonderful marriage and a passionate marital life after this courtship period.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those of us who are busy all the time can experience burnout, exhaustion, and fatigue from spending long periods of time in focused concentration. I call this syndrome &#8220;Brain Drain.&#8221; I used to call it &#8220;SAT head&#8221; because many students report that after taking the SAT tests, they feel an odd mental exhaustion caused by too much focused thinking. Brain drain, if gone unchecked, can result in depression, stress, and even anger if you push after the drain has set in. So even though you need to keep your project going nonstop, you would be much more productive if at the first sign of brain drain, you took a break and did something about it.</p>
<p>Here are some of the signs you might be suffering from brain drain.</p>
<ol>
<li>Mental exhaustion.</li>
<li>Irritation or drowsiness when thinking about what you have to do.</li>
<li>Putting off certain tasks because they are &#8220;too hard to think about.&#8221;</li>
<li>Snipping at others who are not moving fast enough.</li>
<li>Feeling as if the harder you work, the farther behind you get.</li>
<li>Feeling depressed, stressed out, or as if you can&#8217;t keep up mentally with your task list.</li>
</ol>
<p>Here are 10 ways you can beat brain drain.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Meditate</strong> By meditate, I mean sitting and closing your eyes for 20 minutes or so. Sit still and simply observe the thoughts that come into your mind. Don&#8217;t try to solve any problems. Just watch and let go.</li>
<li><strong>Take A Walk</strong> A brisk walk outdoors—especially in a park or someplace you are not familiar with will take your mind off your main task so it can relax. Pay attention to the scenes as you travel. Stop and smell the roses, as the cliche goes. Take a minute to see the beauty of panoramas.</li>
<li><strong>Listen to classical music</strong> Sitting still with relaxing Mozart or Bach playing through headphones can transcend the brain drain. It will relax you while coaxing your mind to think about other things. (Editor: Here are some free<a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/music/free-classical-music-downloads-205978.php">classical music downloads</a>.)</li>
<li><strong>Read something entertaining</strong> There is nothing like a chapter of your favorite book to take your mind off the causes of your brain drain. Reading is an interactive action, so you keep your mind active, while relaxing at the same time. Tip: Use reading for 10-20 minutes as a reward for 30 minutes of focused work. Use an egg timer to keep track.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/sleep/reboot-your-brain-with-a-caffeine-nap-306029.php">Reboot your brain with a caffeine nap.</a></strong> University studies show that drinking a cup of coffee and then immediately taking a 10-15 minute catnap gives you an energy boost. This is called a caffeine nap. I&#8217;ve found it works equally well for brain drain. (Just make sure you have something to do when you wake up, because you are going to be ready to rock and roll.)</li>
<li><strong>Go to a movie.</strong> If you can fit in a two hour movie, at the theater, it is worth the time and money just so you can get away mentally and physically. Sitting in front of the big screen is a great way to take your mind off everything.</li>
<li><strong>Listen to motivational CDs</strong> This is a tip I picked up from Steve Pavlina. When he&#8217;s tired from intense thinking, he pops in a motivational CD. Although it might seem like this would be more work, it isn&#8217;t. By listening, you can relax, and become almost passive, as the ideas and strategies gradually break the drain.</li>
<li><strong>Play a sport</strong> Studies show that people who do a competitive sport such as tennis, basketball, golf, martial arts, or football are happier overall. To compete in the sport may make you tired physically, but will wake you up mentally. When you wake up mentally, brain drain stops being as big a problem.</li>
<li><strong>Break down your project into bite-sized chunks</strong> Rome wasn&#8217;t built in a day. Maybe you are trying to move your mountain in a day too. Take a half hour or an hour to take a close look at your projects. Are you trying to write a novel in one day, when it would be more practical to shoot for three pages of a novel a day? You might be in brain drain because you simply don&#8217;t have sensible objectives.</li>
<li><strong>Play a game</strong> Halo 3 players rejoice! Playing a game that gets you away from your draining thoughts is an excellent way to get past the sluggishness. You might prefer crossword puzzles or sudokus if you don&#8217;t like video games. Either way, playing a game lets you know life doesn&#8217;t always have to be so serious and focused. Make time for play too!</li>
</ol>
<p>Remember, the good news is brain drain means you are using your brain at maximum capacity. The bad news is you are not giving your brain needed periods of rest. Rest is important for creative thinking and problem solving. Thus a series of short breaks between your work is necessary for you to work at a high level. So in planning your next intense project, be sure to scatter in several scheduled periods where you can take a break and give your brain some time to incubate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; line-height: 28.0px; font: 20.0px Palatino} --></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Brainstorming is a valuable method for rediscovering your creativity. Some days, you are drowning in an ocean of ideas. Others, you are looking at the desert and hoping for an oasis. You are creative, your brain just needs a bit of priming. Here are ten methods for brainstorming to get the idea river gushing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>1. Free Writing</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Stream of consciousness writing is one of the most unpredictable forms of writing. You do not know where your brain will lead you, but you can be assured that it will be interesting. There is no special preparation for this method. Open a new Notepad window or pick up a sheet of paper and start writing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>2. Wordplay</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Start writing poetry about your favorite topic. Use words that rhyme. Write the song that is going through your head. Pick your favorite prefix or suffix and start listing all of the words within which that fragment resides. Attempt to be as silly as possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>3. What If?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Most novels are written on the premise of ‘what if?’ What if there were no water on our planet? What if there were too much water on the planet? What would happen if our feet were digitigrade instead of plantigrade? Ask some what if questions and see where the answers take you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>4. Mind Map</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Mind mapping is an exciting method of generating ideas because you are building on the idea of ‘and then?’ You are mapping out those tangents that your mind takes. Take a concept or idea and write it in the center of your page. Write concepts and ideas around that idea until something interests you. When you exhaust the options for one of the topic, elaborate on one of the subtopics.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>5. Analogy</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Take two unrelated topics and attempt to connect them. Start with the question ‘How is _____ like a ______?’ and see what happens. Your brain is geared toward answering questions, so you will immediately start finding answers. Write down your list and see where it leads.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>6. Role Playing</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">How would someone else handle the situation that you are in? What would someone else have for dinner? This exercise is all about looking at the alternative perspective to a problem. How would the person that you dislike the most care for their pets?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>7. Escapism</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Start with a common problem or situation that everybody has. Write a list of surreal solutions. There can be no reasonable or completely feasible answers on this list. Once you have your list, search for items which can be altered to become viable.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>8. Outlining</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">This brainstorming technique is perfect for analytical people. This is like the mind map method. You are using writing instead of drawing to convey your ideas. Start with a broad subject and break it into subtopics. The outline method is very useful for writing non fiction.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>9. 77 Storms</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">When you are brainstorming, aim for a specific number and do not stop until you have reached the number. Do not judge the ideas, merely fill the page. This will give you ideas and directions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>10. Questions</strong></span></p>
