Web design involves numerous skilled disciplines from type to layout & colour. Colour is especially important because it provides the first impression to the user. The correct colours can create a good user experience, whereas inappropriate colours can have a negative impact.
To make a good website, the web designer needs to know how colours affect people. Subconsciously, people react to colours and associate them with different feelings and emotions.
Colours do not only bring up emotions and feelings that could influence how a site is received but they can also be cleverly used to direct users to specific bits of your web site.
Each colour imaginable can be used on the web now, so picking the correct colours can be a huge task. Here’s a swift summary of how some colours can evoke certain reactions.
Red is associated with strength, fire, blood & lust. If it is used sparingly on a light background, it can be used to make the most of & highlight certain points.
Blue is the most frequently used colour for websites & it can denote confidence, loyalty & royalty. The darker shades of blue often mean strength whilst the lighter end can be used to express fantasy & dream. Blue is a very popular corporate colour, so it is often used on business websites.
The colour green can be used to represent feelings of durability, safety & harmony. It is also a striking colour to use to emphasise calm & relaxation.
Standing for joy, happiness, warning and energy, yellow has a similar effect to red, although it's not as popular. It can be used to emphasise areas of a site. However, if it's used too much, it can be overpowering.
Brown can express honesty and trust in a design. It can be linked to ageing, warmth & comfort.
Orange is associated with enthusiasm, creativity & stimulation. It is used in designing for the web to portray friendliness.
Purple's darker shades can be truly deep & luscious. It is associated with royalty, spirituality, arrogance & luxury. The lighter end of the purple spectrum can stand for romance & delicacy. However, it's a colour that is not used very often on sites.

Pyramid Scheme
What is Pyramid Scheme? Pyramid scheme or comission for a distribution or sales of commodities where an individual receives gratuity, or an opportunity to receive an interest in money in which does not depend on the total or quantity of products, nor the services sold or distributed, but which is based on sponsorship or introduction of an individual or a participant in the scheme.
The features of this scheme :
The features of this scheme :
- to set the number of sponsorship
- commission or bonus paid based on the sponsorship of fixed number of members, not based on the total sales made
- the promise of high income in the shortest time based on the number of sponsored members
- sponsored training or seminarswhich do not emphasise on the quality of products or how to market the product, but more on the way of recruitingnew members in this scheme
- the price of product or the service which is expensive and does not reflect the realvalue of the product or service mentioned
The government banned this scheme because it leans towards the get-rich quick scheme that offers returns only to the very few participants who belong to the top level, and not to the large number of participants who are still at the base level.
This pyramid scheme give negative aspects to the participants. There is only the first few participants or top level will get big commissions or great returns, and a large number of participants at the bottom level are made contributors so that the top level participants will enjoy the benefits.
What should we do if a scheme sponsor approaches us? First, we should check if the company they represent has a legal license that has been issued by any of the authorized government bodies. If the company turns out to be a direct selling company, please refer to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Condumer Affairs to check if the company owns an authorized direct selling license. An authorized license number start with AJL 93xxxxx. Thorough checks can also be made through the government's homepage : http://www.kpdnhep.gov.my
Article ~ Get-Rich Quick Schemes
If you're trying to earn money online, you may be tempted by opportunities that promise quick payouts and huge returns. Like most things in life, things don't usually happen that easy. If you see opportunities like this, they may use unethical methods of making money...or worse yet, be completely illegal.
In many of these schemes, only a few people make money and everyone else loses their entire investment. Getting involved in these schemes is never a long-term plan for financial success online.
There is one simple rule to spotting get rich quick scams, no matter whether they are sales oriented, money investing, or other things. That is, the proposal seems too good to be real. Believe your instincts, because they are right.
Pyramid schemes first appeared in the latter half of the twentieth century, starting with chain letters. Basically, a pyramid scheme involves the selling of the possibility to earn money, and does not usually involve any tangible goods.
Probably the oldest, and most familiar pyramid scheme, is the chain mail. This is seldom seen today, mostly because there are cheaper ways to bilk people than using the U.S. mail, and it's also illegal.
The first schemes were pitched in terms of receiving an impossible sum of thousands of dollars, all from sending X dollars to the first person on the list included with the letter. You would then remove that person's name, add yours to the bottom, and send out ten (or more) copies to people who also wanted to become rich.
Naturally, not everyone who got one of these letters, participated. But the success rate was big enough to make it worth the effort, because the more letters sent out, the bigger the returns, even if your success rate was only 2-3%. Depending on how long the chain had been going, there could be several hundred or thousands of letters out there with the same list of people you got, and the first person on that list was going to make out like a bandit.
As a money making scheme, it's pretty much a dinosaur these days. Chain mails do still make the rounds occasionally, usually amongst friends, but for the purpose of sharing things like recipes, or gathering squares of material to make pillows.

Comparison of NOKIA N90 and NOKIA N93
We might think that choosing between the N90 and the brand new N93 is a no-brainer - but a careful study of the attributes above should reveal that they are slightly different beasts and each have their strongpoints. Nokia N90 has pretty good 2mp focussed images, perhaps a little lacking in colour and with only average handling of extremes of light and dark while N93 has better 3mp focussed and optically zoomed image, though still arguably lacking a little in terms of colour and automatic exposure.Beside that, N90 has the biggest free RAM for application that is 20MB than N93 only has 18MB. In comms, N93 is better than N90 because it has many functions. Furthermore, N93 has Wi-Fi and UPnP make it something of a cosummate communicator. How about their video photography? N90 has a reasonably sharp VideoCD resolution (352 by 288 pixel) video at 15 frames per second, working out to around 4MB of disk space needed per minute of footage while N93 has a superior video capture at 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, with optional image stabilisation, working out to around 20MB of disk space needed per minute of footage. N90 has 173g in weigs but N93 has 180g, so, N90 has the smallest weight than other one. However, each of them have their own advantages and scarcities. Although they have many difference in functions and features, they still have the similarity in on-device video editing of video editor, integrated into Gallery, with cut, colour effect and slow motion.
Article ~ NOKIA N90 versus NOKIA N93
The N90 scores with its smaller size, the more flexible cover display, the more flexible camera module, greater free RAM and better third party application compatibility.
The N93 mainly scores with its VGA video recording facility and slightly superior optics, with higher resolution, better hardware camera controls and flexible, brighter display with UPnP or direct cable piping to a TV or similar if needed. Plus Wi-Fi, of course. There's far more of a focus on the camera with the N93 though - the high-spec video recording and its playback is the whole point of the device.
The typical buyer of the N93 won't be that interested in running games or web browsing or listening to music. He or she will buy it to split duties between phone, camera and camcorder, and I'd expect them to use a 2GB card for maximum recording time, with no other files on the card. The N90 buyer, on the other hand, wants a good camera, it's true, but knows there's more to a smartphone than being a makeshift digital camera, and will be using office and PIM applications, games, music players and so on. It's a very different scenario for a very different device.
More thoughts on the N93 in full review, coming shortly.

What is anemia?
Anemia is a condition characterized by a reduction in the red blood cell count or a reduction in the concentration of hemoglobin.Anemia is not a diseases but it is a manifestation of various diseases and pathologic condition.
The symptoms if we had anemia are extreme weakness and tiredness, confusion or loss of concentration, rapid pulse, headache, lack of attention and so on.

Article ~ Anemia
Anemia (AmE) or anæmia/anaemia (BrE) (from the Ancient Greek Ἀναιμία anaîmia, meaning “without blood”) is defined as a qualitative or quantitative deficiency of hemoglobin, a molecule found inside red blood cells (RBCs). Since hemoglobin normally carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, anemia leads to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in organs. Since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences.
The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production (ineffective hematopoiesis).
Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. There are several kinds of anemia, produced by a variety of underlying causes. Anemia can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, and discernible clinical spectra, to mention a few.
There are two major approaches of classifying anemias, the "kinetic" approach which involves evaluating production, destruction and loss, and the "morphologic" approach which groups anemia by red blood cell size. The morphologic approach uses a quickly available and cheap lab test as its starting point (the MCV). On the other hand, focusing early on the question of production may allow the clinician more rapidly to expose cases where multiple causes of anemia coexist.
