The Benefits of An Ergonomic Split Keyboard

When it comes to working on the computer and typing, there’s no other tedious task that can be as strenuous as typing.

Many people experience pain in the hands or wrist after years of typing on the keyboard.

Why?This is because before ergonomic keyboards came into existence, traditional keyboards cause an unnatural position of the wrists when typing.This causes a compression of a nerve in the wrist, which induces a tingling or even painful sensation near the thumb and other areas of the hand and wrist after a long period of time. This strain leads to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) such as carpal tunnel.

Sufferers of carpal tunnel goes through injections, wear wrists guards and they will no longer have the ability to type as they once did!

Thankfully, none of us have to get to that stage because manufacturers are increasing aware of Ergonomics and have incorporated them into their designs. One of them is the Ergonomic Split keyboard.

Features of the Ergonomic Split Keyboard

Ergonomic split keyboards are designed to specificity to fit the position of the wrist and hands while typing. Instead of conforming your hands to the keyboard, the keyboard is conformed to the natural way your hands, fingers and wrist are positioned when typing.

An ergonomic split keyboard has “split” or divided one group of keys on one side of the keyboard and a second group on the other.

Usually ergonomic split keyboards come in two types. The “split” or the divide of the two parts of the keyboard can either be altered in angles or the split angle is fixed.

A fixed-split ergonomic split keyboard uses a single board just as any other inline keyboard that a PC or laptop may use, but the manufacturer will probably curve the layout slightly. The other type of ergonomic split keyboard is the adjustable split keyboard. Manufacturers of this keyboard split the keyboard into several independent pieces, allowing you to increase or decrease the space between the groups of keys, ultimately making it more personalized to your wrists and hands.

Benefits of Ergonomic Split Keyboards

The major benefit to using an ergonomic split keyboard is the fact that you don’t have to strain your wrist or hands when typing any long. You can keep them in neutral position (or natural position).

Instead of positioning your hands inwards when typing, your middle finger is almost forced to be in-line with the wrist and forearm, preventing an unnatural strain from the regular keyboard. When using an ergonomic split keyboard, you also won’t be unnaturally holding your thumbs rigid or keeping your pinkies extended up or outwards.

Many people who use ergonomic split keyboards find the positioning of the keys to be natural as well. Instead of forcefully pressing the keyboard keys, an ergonomic keyboard is designed so that you only have to use a light touch in order to type. Two-and-three-key combinations also come easier when using this special keyboard. For example, you can use both hands to comfortably make complex key combinations like the “Alt,” “Shift,” “Ctrl” and “Delete” buttons.

Overall, ergonomic split keyboards are not only easier, more comfortable and more ‘natural’ to use, you may find your typing speed increasing. Since you’re not straining your wrists or finger positions and holding them in awkward contortions, you can more easily relax your wrist and entire hand. However, don’t beat yourself up if you find your usual typing speed is not up to par, it will take time for your body to adjust and undo all the bad wrist straining habits. Remember it is for long term health!

Why To buy Ergonomic Split Keyboard

Microsoft has produced several ergonomic split keyboards over the years, a recent one being the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000. This keyboard is a fixed-split ergonomic keyboard that’s professional in appearance and pretty easy to use; it contains a 12-degree split between the two groups of keys that allows for reduced key reach. This Microsoft keyboard also has a 7-degree reverse slope to fit your wrist more comfortably.

Alternatively, the Comfort Keyboard Company makes the Black Comfort Keyboard USB, which is an adjustable ergonomic split keyboard. With this keyboard, you can rotate and tilt the three sections in any direction you choose, giving you utmost control over wrist and hand comfort.

Passion Versus Desire

Finding your passion is about more than just fulfilling your cravings or desires. There is a difference between passion and desire. Passion that comes from your natural tendencies, or what can be called “purpose,” is not dependent on your circumstances. You can tell the difference between the two because of how you feel when you do the activity. Doing activities inline with your passion that comes from purpose will make you feel energized, alive and make you want to continue the activity even more. You can lose track of time, become obsessed and maybe even have to give yourself time limits on how much you engage in the activity. You are like an addict.

On the other hand, doing activities that fulfill desires that are circumstantial can make you feel satisfied and content. The more you do the activity, the more satisfied you become and less interested in continuing the activity. One example of this is the love of babies or small children. Someone whose passion is to be around them might want to run a daycare center or be school teacher, whereas, someone who wants to be a parent will feel that deep desire fulfilled by birth or adoption.

Your true passion is like a soul-mate activity. It is the thing that makes you feel alive when you do it. Recognizing your passion that comes from purpose, or your natural tendencies, can often happen if you think about what you would want to do if you had all of your needs and desires met. If you had all of the money in the world, finished traveling and had all of your wishes and desires fulfilled, what would you want to do with your time?

Some people say they have a dream or passion about something at which they are not very good. Just look at the American Idol tryouts. Everyone thinks they are the best. But they often have not taken any time to learn or train to be the best. They have a desire but not a real passion. People who find their true passion often want to be good at what they love. Wanting to learn more and putting forth the effort to do so is a natural part of pursuing your passion.

This is why passion is such a crucial part of success. It is like a natural river of drive and energy you can ride toward your goal of success. One way to ride that river is to find a way to be successful with the passion itself. If you love to paint, learn to be the best you can be and find a way to make money painting. You would have a better chance of finding success than if you love painting and you become a waiter.

Another way to ride that river is to find a way for success in one area to allow you to engage in your passion. If you love to travel, but cannot find a way to make money from it, find another way to make money and then use it to travel. Either way, finding your passion is the best and strongest motivation to find success. Any successful person you meet can tell you in a heartbeat what their passion is and how that helped them find success. Find your passion, and let your passion drive you to success.

CO2 for ‘Free’

We’ve all heard that there is no such thing as a ‘free lunch’; well the process described in this article may be as close to one as you get. Most of us already know the benefits of CO2 enrichment for photosynthesis. To maximize indoor growing and greenhouse potential, CO2 is supplemented to maintain an approximate level of 1500 ppm, this can require frequent trips to an industrial gas supplier and/or a lot of propane or natural gas use, and related costs. It is ironic that many indoor farmers are exhausting CO2 to the outdoors from home heaters and hot water heaters while simultaneously releasing or generating CO2 for an indoor grow room or a greenhouse.

Propane and Natural gas burn clean enough that small non-vented gas devices have been approved for indoor use. These gas burning devices all use oxygen (in the air) to burn the gas, resulting in the by-products of CO2, H20 (humidity), and heat (Reusch). Exhaust from gas appliances can provide 3 essential conditions for maximized growth: humidity, temperature, and CO2 level. Most heat from the exhaust is removed by the heat exchanger of the furnace or water heater; resulting in mildly warm exhaust. Photosynthesis for many plants, including marijuana, in a CO2 enriched environment,is most efficient around 85 degrees F.

If a large gas heater’s exhaust is diverted into the grow area, there is great potential for all the oxygen to be burned up or displaced, as well as CO (carbon monoxide accumulation), resulting in toxic air conditions. With proper equipment, the CO2 from your gas furnace and/or water heater’s exhaust can be safely used to supplement the CO2 used in your grow room. This will save time and money, make the plants grow great, reduce fuel use, and dramatically reduce the amount of ‘Greenhouse’ gasses released into the environment. Using this technique, you will help prevent global warming while optimizing growing conditions. The key to doing this safely and effectively is to divert enough exhaust from your gas appliance into your grow area to maintain a CO2 level of 1500 ppm, and have additional exhaust directed outside.

“The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) have set workplace safety standards of 5,000 ppm” and very high CO2 levels can cause undetectable asphyxiation when O2 in the blood is replaced by the CO2 (Minnesota Department of Health). Keep a CO (carbon monoxide) detector in the grow room for safety in case equipment malfunctions! Do not attempt this project if you use oil or kerosene heat, which do not burn cleanly!

The trick to tapping into this source of unused CO2 from gas furnace and water heaters is power dampers. A power damper is a duct section with a flap that opens and closes the flow through the duct and is powered by electricity. Some dampers close with current applied and others are designed to open. Most dampers are low voltage so the right size transformer must be wired inline to the damper; there are some 110volt dampers. Quality dampers will seal much better than cheap dampers. This simple addition to a CO2 enrichment system will pay for itself many times over (especially with today’s fuel prices) and reduce house or business emissions into the environment, making your project ‘greener’. It is necessary to have a CO2 levels monitor hooked to a controller (sequencer) to tell the dampers (by applying power) when CO2 is needed and when the threshold has been reached. You can still use your controller to run your CO2 generator and or regulator.

Find the exhaust pipe of your gas furnace or hot water heater. These devices should already be properly vented. Turn off your gas appliance while working on this. Disconnect (or cut open) a section of duct where it will be closest, with least bends, to tap in and route a new duct to the grow area. The few items needed can be found at most heating supply stores. If you can not find matching dampers for the size and type of duct that you have, you may have to convert the duct to a size or type that you can find dampers for. Using a “Y” connector and a power damper that closes when power is added, hook up inline with the duct running to the outside. For smooth flow, install “Y” so exhaust comes in the ‘bottom’ of the “Y” duct section. Now take the damper that opens when power is applied, attach it to the other “Y” opening. Run a duct from this ‘power open’ damper into the grow area above the plants, since CO2 is heavier than air; but you probably already know this. Now all you have to do is either wire the dampers together or use a multi-outlet adapter and plug them into your CO2 sequencer along with your CO2 generator or CO2 tank regulator using a 3 outlet adapter.

If the pipes are far from the outside wall or roof there may be inline duct booster fans. If the grow room is not getting flow through the new duct, a inline duct booster fan may be needed, especially if there is one used on the original duct that exhausts to the outside past the new “Y” section from the appliance. If you add a duct booster fan, wire it or plug it in together with the dampers, they will then power on and off together. Many furnaces will have an adequate exhaust blower so an additional duct booster fan will not be necessary. Keep an eye on any booster fans (if any) on the original duct between the “Y” junction and the outside, there is a chance they could overheat if running when the damper to the outside is closed.

Once this is setup, when your CO2 sequencer determines it’s time to add CO2 to the room and switches power on, the exhaust damper to the outside will close and the damper to the grow room will open; resulting in the furnace’s or hot water heater’s exhaust being diverted into the grow room. The CO2 generator or release regulator will be working also, this way the room is guaranteed to always have just the right amount of CO2 even if the furnace or water heater is not currently in use. When the proper level is reached and the sequencer powers off, the damper leading into the grow room will close and the damper in the duct leading to the outside will reopen. All exhaust at this point will vent outside until the room needs more CO2.

For safety, be sure all circuits and/or outlets are supplying no more than 80% of their rated load in watts, and are properly wired. Also, be sure to secure duct well. The 200°F rated duct tape holds up better than the regular (for connecting duct sections).

If you are diverting the hot water heater exhaust for this CO2 enrichment supplement, you can further take advantage of this setup by timing showers, dishes and laundry, as the lights come on (time that enrichment equipment runs the most) and during the light cycle in general.

Using this system, farmers will find they make less trips to get propane or CO2 tanks filled, and are spending less money, while the levels in the grow room remain the same.

This addition to an enrichment system will also reduce the volume of CO2 released into the environment from the house or business. The CO2 diverted to the room is used by the plants during photosynthesis, further reduces the gas appliance’s CO2 release into the environment. Using this system, the room will reach the desired CO2 level quicker, and fluctuate less, further enhancing growth.

This page, located on the Minnesota Department of Health’s website, is a good source to show the adverse health effects high levels of C02 will cause. As best as I can tell, this site is run by the State government. The information on this page is consistent with other sources also describing the harmful health effects caused by too much CO2 in air. This page, while short, clearly presents figures and dangers, agreed upon by government scientist, that are associated with high CO2 levels. The statement, “At very high levels, 30,000 ppm and above, CO2 can cause asphyxiation as it replaces oxygen in our blood.” clearly demonstrates the potentially fatal condition that elevated CO2 levels can cause.

This page clearly describes the physical process of propane combustion. After reviewing a dozen sources of propane and natural gas combustion, I found this page to have most precise, in-depth yet understandable descriptions of the potential reactions of propane combustion. Although the article cites no references for the information it contains, the information is consistent with common knowledge and other reference materials and is on the Chemistry Department’s web site of the Michigan State University. By showing the structural formulas for the reactions mentioned along with clear reasoning demonstrating why the reactions may differ, this source will allow a reader of my essay to understand what products can be created by propane combustion. This article shows how CO2 and H2O are the direct products obtained by the burning of propane when sufficient O2 present.

Choosing Your Power Cable Accessories

There is a wide array of power cable accessories available in the market and if one has to name a few of them then heat shrink tubing, PVC caps, insulation tape, inline transition joints etc get included in the list. However, while choosing the right set of accessories, it is wiser to follow the checklist given below:

• Voltage: Buy an accessory whose voltage is similar to that of your application.

• Raw materials: Ensure that the raw materials used are of top quality. This can be checked from the package of the item you buy.

• Usage: Ensure that the accessory you buy really fulfils your requirement.

• Price: Remember that price is not directly proportional to quality and this means that a higher price necessarily need not mean top quality of the item.

• Certification: Ensure that the item you buy is licensed and fulfils the regulatory requirements as to the quality standards.

• Certified manufacturer: Ensure that the manufacturer of the item has the ISO certification.

The items that you buy have to be used in the suggested manner. If you buy good quality accessories but use them in the wrong way then they will not give the desired results. It is also better to buy the latest versions of the model as they offer better capacity than the earlier versions. As for the price, it can differ between different manufacturers. Hence, the price has to be viewed in conjunction with the manufacturer of the item so as to know the true quality of the item.

It is highly important that you choose the right set of power cable accessories so as to avert any potential risks or major electrical faults. It is best to obtain the products from a reputed power cable accessories manufacturer. Following are some criteria of a reputed cable accessories manufacturer:

• Experience: A reputed manufacturer builds his reputation from the length of his stay in the market. An experienced manufacturer has dealt with customers for many years and this has resulted into a trustworthy relationship with them. He will therefore offer only quality products.

• Reliability: This attribute comes from experience. A manufacturer who has gained experience in the market offers reliable products. Reliability of products ensures its long life.

• Tested: A reliable manufacturer releases only tested products into the market. Tested products offer guarantee that they can handle electrical stress and function effectively.

• Professionalism: A reputed manufacturer’s company has professionalism ingrained into its working. The company possesses all the documents and has the necessary license to conduct its business. The employees of the manufacturer are all trained in customer service and are experts in their field of product knowledge. The manufacturer has open lines of communication which helps to resolve customer queries and doubts effectively.

The wide variety of cable accessories available in the market makes it difficult to choose the best among them. However, if you keep the above guidelines in mind then this task can be definitely made much easier!

The Art of Achievement

Ever wondered how some people have everything that the dream of and for many it just remains a dream? Here are some tips on how to help turn your dreams into reality. Fortunately, it’s not a question of genetics or luck; it’s down to the thinking strategies that we use.

Understanding what is important to us. Craft goals in line with our values.

If a goal is in line with our values we get energy and motivation that lead us toward the goal. Most of us have experienced this type of energy and motivation at some time in our lives; maybe Birthdays and Christmas as Children and as Adults buying a house, getting married or looking forward to a holiday in the sun.

The curious thing is how little we target the use of this behaviour towards things that we want in life. It’s because we spend little time working on making our goals fit that we have such a high failure rate at achieving them.

I’m sure you’ve set New Years resolutions. How many of those did you achieve? What was different, I wonder, between those that you did achieve and those that you didn’t? I suspect that for those that you did not achieve, beneath the reason for not doing so, the cost in terms of time, money or loss of something else was too high.

If we have a greater understanding of our values, craft our goals in line with them, and address some the other key areas listed here, we are rewarded with the energy and motivation to make them happen – with ease.

Optimise the use of our time.

To optimise our time on and towards what we want we must first gain a greater insight into what is important to us, and having done so we must then distinguish between the activities that we do that are important and urgent.

In my experience this is not a regularly practiced technique; too many people are reacting, reacting to activities that are asked of them or are left to the point of being urgent. Examples of this are leaving the utilities bills to the last minute or working under a demanding boss or chaotic organisation.

Once understood this essential time management technique is easy to master and is commonly taught in time management programmes. Understanding it within a great context of achievement makes it that much more relevant to learning and putting into practice.

Start with what you have now, with the end in mind

Having both established goals that are in line with your and optimised your time, you need to make a start. It’s important that the start is made with the goal in mind and with a degree of realism on the resources that are available now. Delusion is the result of setting off without a realistic view of what the present situation is. And Delusion soon turns to disappointment which in turn turns to frustration and ultimately little or no significant progress.

At the end of the day we only have 3 resources: Physical and mental energy, time and money. It’s key that we learn how to make optimal use of these resources.

Meeting challenges

No amount of planning is going to cater for every eventuality. Many people consider these unplanned events to be problems that prevent progress and give up at that point. People that achieve are not put off by these events and are more energised by the richness of the opportunities that are enveloped in these events.

With the right mindset the journey to achievement can be viewed as one opportunity after another to reinforce the ability to succeed.

How we use our imaginations

All human beings are blessed with incredibly powerful imaginations. However many imagine outcomes of the future that are not going to be to their advantage. Imagining negative outcomes leads to worry, stress and fear and drains our energy and motivation.

Imagining a positive outcome of the future releases more of the energy and motivation that we need to succeed at our goals.

Fortunately the structure that we use in our minds is the same for both negative and positive imaginations. And with the right know how one can use the skill that generates fear into one that generates excitement and anticipation.

Forming our goals well

When forming our goals it is essential that we consider a number of factors; a compelling view of how things will be when we have the goal is as important as a clear understanding of what we will lose when we have it. Many times the likely loss prevents us from achieving what we want because we have not adapted our thinking around the loss.

A prime example of this is giving us smoking – many people fail to give up because having a cigarette provides them with a valuable 5 minute break. When the break is factored into the future along with the goal the chances of success are considerably increased.

Believing that it is possible that that it is for us

It is important that we hold certain helpful beliefs about the goal. Many people hold negative beliefs about whether the goal is achievable, whether they will ever achieve it and even whether it is really for them.

It is important to overcome these beliefs or sabotage will result.

Fortunately we are not born with our beliefs and the ones that we develop through childhood and in to the present moment can be changed.

What Is FBML?

FBML is Facebook’s mark-up language but these elements will take any HTML as well. So you have the ability to add newsletter sign-up forms, e-book downloads, and other HTML based elements. It is shown as easy to pick up. You certainly should be already familiar with HTML. It is a great solution for a complicated problem, and continues to be useful.

It is like HTML, but it lets you include social content inline in your markup. It is Facebook’s version of HTML, the language that web pages are written in. For the most part, knowledge of HTML is all that is needed to utilize the functionality of the Static FBML application.

It is a modified version of HTML with some features discarded and other, Facebook-specific attributes added. Some CSS attributes are deleted for security reasons, and it has a set of unique tags you will be required to learn to create apps properly. It isn’t a “proprietary language,” it’s a set of tags added to HTML that make it easier to write social apps. With it, I can show or hide elements of the page based on whether two users are friends – it’s a simple tag that Facebook handles on their side. It is amazing; it’s so great to be able to have YouTube videos on your Facebook page. I have been doing a lot of research recently.

It is an evolved subset of HTML with some elements removed, and others which have been added that are specific to Facebook. You set the FBML for a profile box by calling profile.setFBML through the API. It is a coding language that lets you custom builds these Facebook Platform apps. So if you know HTML, FBML is not too far off.

It is where the new version of the Facebook platform gets interesting and begins to separate itself from other simple widget platforms. It is great, and for some parts of your app you will want to use it, but the fact you can’t debug it makes life extremely difficult. If you can get all your code working with iframes first, then it will be relatively easy to switch some bits to it when the time comes. It is a way for computer programmers to develop advanced pages and applications within a Fan Page. This is what you will be using to display you custom landing page.

It is not a completely new language. It allows the use of regular HTML tags making it extremely flexible for the programmer building the application or feature. It is a superset of HTML and ads on to HTML’s features, basically letting you easily add Facebook specific details. The example application is immensely simple, but it gives you a quick look at it, giving you an idea of what it can do and how it does it. It is only used in profile boxes and Facebook-rendered canvas pages – developers can also use iframe canvas pages or non-Facebook sites/applications. Pretty much everything else client-side for a Facebook application is HTML, CSS, etc.

It is like HTML with certain restrictions and added features specific to Facebook. The theme is included with the module, but it has to be moved to a themes folder. It is called again through a canvas page. For a high-level technical specification for FBML, provisions have been given. It is another XML variant, a proprietary Facebook tag system to pass information from a database to the Facebook interface.

How to Read a Girl’s Mind by Observing Her Body Language – Interesting Tactics You Just Can’t Miss

A lot of men are unaware of this, but you can actually find out what is on a girl’s mind by simply reading and observing her body language. Yes, you heard that right; this is the plain truth!

You see, there are a couple of things that women do when they are thinking of certain things and you can use this to your advantage (well, only if you read it properly) so you can plan and prepare your move. Want to learn what they are? Well, read further so you can discover them.

Watch Her Body – Look at her body – is it facing your way or not? If her body is inline or facing your direction, then she is surely interested (or even attracted) in you. Another thing is if she is leaning towards you whenever you are talking – that is a clear sign of interest.

On the other hand, she is more likely trying to steer away from you and is simply not into you if it is the opposite.

Watch What She is Doing – Observe her while you talk to her and if she keeps on playing with something like her hair, chain, necklace, bracelet, etc., then it only means that she fancies you and is more than willing to continue with the conversation.

If she also smiles more frequently and gives out sweet giggles, then she is definitely into you.

Does She Make Eye Contact – Girls will look at you directly in the eye only if they are interested in you. Try to see if she maintains constant eye contact. If so, then this indicates that she is deeply attracted to you.

What is She Wearing – If you ask her to go out on a date and she wears a seductive dress, then what more could you ask for? This is a sure sign that she wants you! She would not go all out on dressing and prepping herself up if she does not like you, right?

Analysis of Shakespeare’s Sonnet # 10

This is a very interesting sonnet regarding love, hate, and the continuation of life with one’s name. This sonnet has a pro-life theme, which is articulated in the ending couplet, with the rhyming pair of me and thee.

The sonnet is articulated on the subject of having a family and the continuation of the family’s name. Line # 1 addressed the essence of the sonnet regarding love. The speaker has expressed shame of the person in question who refused to love, which is thus written, “For shame! deny that thou bear’st love to any.” The lack of expressing love is further addressed in line # 2 as “improvident.” It is cemented in line # 4 with the words, “But that thou none lov’st is most evident.”

The copulation of murder and hate are joined in line # 5 as follows, “For thou art so possess’d with murderous hate.” This plea for the person to love is very near and dear to the heart of the writer. Apparently, there is a conspiracy in process to overturn the state of love to its opposite by the subject as stated in line # 6. This action is visualized as one that will lead to the ruination of love and it is professed in line # 7, as thus, “Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate.” The beauteous roof is that of the cover of love or being wrapped in the cloak of love.

Narcissism is evident in this poem also self-love is obvious. The author believed that such actions will lead to lack of productivity. The lack of bearing children as a result of male friendship is not productive, and as such, is a desire which should be corrected as stated in line # 8 of the sonnet.

Line # 9 put forth the epiphany of the sonnet. It’s a request for a change of action, state of reference, state of mind, and/or belief system. It is stated as follows: O! change thy thought, that I may change my mind.” The writer has attested that love is better than hate and is the path to follow.

At the end of the sonnet in line # 14, a last-ditch effort is made of the subject to show love and to allow beauty to live instead of hate. The words are as follows, “That beauty still may live in thine or thee.”

Obviously, this sonnet addressed the issue of love. Additionally, it has placed love above all other for the subject in question to follow, and has attested to as the essence of life over death and love over hate.
