Trust is so fragile that is hard to put back to its original state when broken. My simple tips how to build trust is dedicated to kids and their parents as well.
How To Build Trust:
- Never tell a lie, always tell the truth. And, say it kindly and tactfully.
- Be real, do not act like somebody you are not.
- Do not gossip about other people’s life. The one you are talking to may think you are gossiping her at her back. The worst scene is – if she pass what you said to other people too.
- Never betray a confidence. Do not tell the secrets confided to you.
- Keep all the promises you made. If you cannot keep a promise, better not to promise at all.
- When you borrow something, always return it as soon as possible.

The TCP/IP suite specification provides many tools to assist in testing and troubleshooting connectivity problems. You will need to use these tools often when dealing with an IP network.
The Ping Utility
Ping is probably the most used of the tools mentioned. Ping was named after the sound a sonar detection device makes on military submarines. The purpose of the sonar is to send a signal at a potential target and listen for the ping sound it makes upon its return after successfully bouncing off the target. You can use ping to see if another IP device on the network is active. For example, go to DOS prompt (Command Line) and type PING xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where the xxxs represent the IP address that you wish to test. If the device is active and reachable from your PC, the utility returns a message. The specific message varies depending on the version of the ping program you use. In addition to the confirmation message, the ping utility also returns the number of milliseconds it took to send and receive the ping from the target device. If the ping is unsuccessful, you will see a message saying that the request timed out, or that the destination host was unreachable.
You can also use ping command with the domain name. i.e., PING gmail.com
Following is an example of the output from the ping.exe program in Windows.
The Tracert Utility
Tracert goes a bit farther than ping in that it also tells you how many hops away the target device is. Remember that a hop is a router that forwards the request on to another segment, so four hops means that the tracert packet had to be forwarded by four routers in order to reach its destination.
Tracert is especially useful in troubleshooting router problems, because the results of a tracert show each router hop, you can quickly determine which router in a path has failed to forward the packet. Tracert also provides the response time; this helps you see how efficient a specific route is. If you notice that a particular router is slow, you can further diagnose why there is a hang up at this point.
The Ipconfig and Winipcfg Utility
The ipconfig utility quickly displays the current TCP/IP settings defined on your local PIC. Ipconfig.exe is a DOS based program. Under Windows, Microsoft also offers a graphical version called winipcfg.exe. These are especially useful utilities when you use DHCP to tell you what IP address and other ancillary information your network card obtained. These utilites not only return your IP address but also the subnet mask, default gateway addres and DNS server addresses for all network cards in your computer. The following is a sample output of the ipconfig utility run from the DOS prompt on a Window PC.

There was a lot of change and growth in 2009, but the recession prevented any major fireworks. Companies played conservatively to avoid mishaps and risks. On the flip side, the internet remained a good place for risks because the costs were cheap and the attention spans even shorter.
For 2010, expect to see an even more radical departure from traditional marketing tactics. Twitter is sure to play a big role, especially in the ‘was that even an ad?’ product category. Getting people to think about the product will be crucial as a way of cutting through the increasing noise of internet ads bombarding the public. Similar, small scaled really focused campaigns are bound to become popular in 2010. Amusingly, advertising through Facebook would stick to the ‘a tough nut to crack’ category. The most brooding question would be “How to exploit untapped markets wihtout upsetting users?” Concentrating on smaller, shorter and less obtrusive ads will likely be the key to success here.
Finally, mobile websites and advertisements operational on smart phones will be an important aspect of any company’s marketing plan for 2010. Today, consumers want instant gratification. This means that if they want to know about your product while driving around then they better be able to do so with their smart-phone.
It is safe to assume that 2010 will bring forward ideas and innovations that are unheard of but will change and shape the marketplace in new and exciting directions.

A collaborative tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that envisages provision of accumulated industrial expertise for the development of an intelligent ‘Clinical Decision Support System’ was signed on Friday.
The agreement was inked between the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES) research center nexGIN RC, CureMD and National ICT R&D Fund. Dr. Qasim Sheikh, CEO National ICT R& D Fund, Bilal Hashmat, CEO CureMD and Dr. Amir Muhammad, Rector NUCES signed the agreement in the presence of senior officials representing the three organizations.
According to the MoU, CureMD will offer the technical expertise for their developed Electronic Health Records System, providing de-identified medical records of patients without disclosing their personal information solely for research and development of Clinical Decision Support System.
National ICT R&D Fund (Ministry of IT & Telecom) will help this initiative by facilitating funding for the collaboration, once the proposal is approved through the evaluation process of ICTRDF, which might be jointly submitted by CureMD and nexGIN RC.
Correspondingly, NUCES Research Center will duly acknowledge CureMD as an organizational partner and National ICT R&D Fund for its support on its website.

Exercise is often a low priority and something we just never get around to. It is important to find time for a regular exercise routine to stay healthy, have more energy, and lose/maintain weight. To work it into your schedule, you first must commit to an exercise routine and think of it as something that must be done. Here are ways to make time in your schedule for exercise.
Step 1 – Experiment with your schedule to find out when you can get some exercise time in. Make it a routine. Once it becomes a priority and a habit, it will be easier to keep up with it.
Step 2 – Wake up earlier. Walk or jog outdoors. Or find a room in your home where you won’t wake everyone up to do aerobics or a treadmill routine.
Step 3 – Exercise on your lunch hour. Find a good place to walk or join a nearby gym. If you are home with young children all day, try to find a gym with a babysitting program or classes that the kids can attend while you are working out. Make sure the program is something that the kids will enjoy and look forward to.
Step 4 – Get some exercise while doing errands (short trips). Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park further away from stores so that you have a longer walk.
Step 5 – Walk whenever you can. Take a 15 minute break at work and walk. Walk around the field at your kids’ games. Walk your children to school or to errands instead of driving. You can do it easily during the lunch or in your religious activities.
Step 6 – Plan fitness activities for your family on evenings and weekends. Go for a walk, ride horse (if possible) or bikes, swim or play a sport. Join the local gym or community center.
Step 7 – Do yoga, sit-ups, resistance training or stretching while watching television or talking on the phone.
