Bluetooth Security

These days, all communication technology faces the
issue of privacy and identity theft, with Bluetooth
being no exception.  Almost everyone knows that email
services and networks require security.  What users
of Bluetooth need to realize is that Bluetooth also
requires security measures as well.

The good news for Bluetooth users is that the
security scares, like most scares, are normally over
dramatized and blown entirely out of proportion.  The
truth being told, these issues are easy to manage,
with various measures already in place to provide
security for Bluetooth technology.

It’s true that there has been some Bluetooth phones
that have been hacked into.  Most devices that are
hacked into are normally those that don’t have any
type of security at all.

According to Bluetooth specialists, in order to hack
into a Bluetooth device, the hacker must:
1.  Force two paired devices to break their
connection.
2.  Steal the packets that are used to
resend the pin.
3.  Decode the pin.

Of course, the hacker must also be within range of
the device, and using very expensive developer type
equipment.  Most specialists recommend that you
have a longer pin, with 8 digits being recommended.

MakeUp Journal

Fundamentals of security
The “pairing process” is one of the most basic levels
of security for Bluetooth devices.  Pairing, is
two or more Bluetooth devices that recognize each
other by the profiles they share - in most cases
they both must enter the same pin.

The core specifications for Bluetooth use an
encryption algorithm, which is completely and entirely
secure.  Once the devices pair with each other,
they too become entirely secure.

Until they have successfully paired, the Bluetooth
devices won’t communicate with each other.  Due to
this pairing process and the fact that it is short
range - Bluetooth technology is considered to be
secure.

As the news has indicated, experienced hackers
have developed ways to get around this level of
basic security.  There are ways to get around this
threat, as you can install software to prevent
hackers from getting in.

With Bluetooth becoming more and more popular, it’s
really no wonder that security is always in
question.  As Bluetooth gets bigger and better,
security will always be something that no one
really takes lightly.

If you’ve been concerned about Bluetooth security
in the past, rest assured that newer devices will
offer bigger and better security.  Preventing
hackers from getting in is something every owner
is concerned about - and the manufacturer’s are
very aware.

Branding is more fundamental than ever for non-profit organisations

At the recent International Fundraising Congress in the Netherlands, Ingrid Srinath, secretary general of civil society network Civicus, warned that the fundraising climate would be hard-hitting in 2010, and even more so in 2011. Given the number of organisations and praiseworthy causes already battling for contributions and funding, along with the challenges already presented by the downturn, this is bad news for the non-profit sector.

nails art design picture

Non-profit organisations need to be proactive in adapting to endure and prosper in these harsh times. If they don’t they will be left behind by more switched-on competitors, and securing funding will soon become all but impossible. So, how can organisations stand out in a saturated marketplace? What makes individuals, and other organisations, decide to donate to or fund a certain cause? A strong brand has the answer. Think about some of the top UK charities for example: Cancer Research, Oxfam, British Heart Foundation, Barnardos. These are all key names with big notable brands that are easily recognised, and that are designed to clearly communicate the culture of each organisation in order to engage their audience. All of these brands possess significant positive brand equity. Brand equity is measured against factors such as brand loyalty, awareness, association, and perception of quality.

Today donors expect more. They want to interact with a brand and to feel that they belong to a ‘brand community’. Successful brands today are not merely lifeless ‘things’ but are thriving entities. They have identities and personalities that allow customers to express themselves through their engagement with that brand. In order to attract customers and encourage them to actively engage, brands must have and clearly communicate a strong story and/ or set of values which customers can easily identify and relate to.

The value of a superior brand to businesses should not be underestimated. Speaking also at the International Fundraising Congress recently Paul Farthing, high-value relationships director at Cancer Research UK, stated that research showed 83 per cent of consumers in the UK would prefer to purchase products that were associated with a charitable cause. “Companies spend millions persuading the public to switch brands, so charities need to be telling them that they are a way of achieving that,” he said. Needless to say there are huge partnership opportunities for strong non-profit brands.

Developing the right brand for an organisation is certainly no easy task and is usually achieved as the result of a rigorous and all-encompassing audit process. This process is made easier, however, if an organisation chooses to work with a branding specialist with experience in the non-profit sector. New Revolution is a young, dynamic creative studio with a passion for working with non-profit organisations. Over the past 5-years New Revolution has worked with organisations such as LifeLine and Taitt Dance Academy in Essex, and on projects like the Urban Arts initiative – an education programme intended to get young people back into education through offering a range of non-traditional courses, including street dance and graffiti art.

New Revolution has accumulated a wealth of experience over the years, combining graphic design and motion graphics to create striking and original solutions for various non-profit clients. Owner James Ratnarajah believes that New Revolution can help third sector organisations to find their voice in these difficult times; “We’re really passionate about this sector and we fully recognise that it’s not sufficient for a brand and marketing materials to just look ‘good’ anymore. We also understand the non-profit marketplace well. We can help our clients stand out and make the very best of the limited opportunities that are out there.”

The Budget – The Ultimate Financial Management Tool

A carpenter uses a set of house plans to build a house. If he didn’t the bathroom might get overlooked altogether.

Rocket Scientists would never begin construction on a new booster rocket without a detailed set of design specifications. Yet most of us go blindly out into the world without an inkling of an idea about finances and without any plan at all.
nails art design picture
Not very smart of us, is it?

A money plan is called a budget and it is crucial to get us to our desired financial goals.

Without a plan we will drift without direction and end up marooned on a distant financial reef.

If you have a spouse or a significant other, you should make this budget together. Sit down and figure out what your joint financial goals are…long term and short term.

Then plan your route to get to those goals. Every journey begins with one step and the first step to attaining your goals is to make a realistic budget that both of you can live with.

A budget should never be a financial starvation diet. That won’t work for the long haul. Make reasonable allocations for food, clothing, shelter, utilities and insurance and set aside a reasonable amount for entertainment and the occasional luxury item. Savings should always come first before any spending.

Even a small amount saved will help you reach your long term and short term financial goals. You can find many budget forms on the internet. Just use any search engine you choose and type in “free budget forms”.

You’ll get lots of hits. Print one out and work on it with your spouse or significant other. Both of you will need to be happy with the final result and feel like it’s something you can stick to.

Can You Create Your Own Wealth & Happiness with the Power of Your Mind?

Are we all able to take control of what happens in our lives? According to Law of Attraction we can all make good things happen using the power of our own minds! The Law of Attraction theory claims that thoughts have an energy, which attracts whatever it is we are thinking of, both good and bad. Remember the phrase ‘Be careful what you wish for’? Law of Attraction suggests that we are all responsible for the events that happen in our lives through our own thoughts. Using this theory to our advantage requires visualisation and positive thinking in order to manifest our hopes and dreams.

The theory of Law of Attraction is undoubtedly fascinating, and the concept of thoughts becoming reality. But does it really work? Do we really make our own luck? Jackie Frith has researched the subject at length since being told that she was creating bad events in her life through her own pessimistic thoughts. As a result she has turned her life around from its lowest point to achieve affluence and happiness by altering her thought process and using positivity. Needless to say here is a woman who is a firm believer.

Five years ago Jackie hit an all-time low point in her life; “At the time everything was going wrong. A relationship had ended and I’d written off my car. I didn’t know where to turn and felt as though I’d literally hit rock bottom”. Through widespread reading on several subjects, including spirituality and Law of Attraction, she began to identify ways that she felt might help her to achieve her life goals, and move on with her life. Jackie says, “I’ve already used the power of my own mind to manifest a number of things in just a short time, avoiding a speeding penalty and obtaining a new laptop along the way.”

Jackie wants others to recognise that they can make a legitimate difference to their own lives. She adds, “There’s a common belief that things like spirituality and the power of the mind are ‘weird’, and that those involved are merely ‘eccentrics’! It just isn’t true. These things can play a key part in improving mental and physical health, general well-being and overall quality of life. They can also help those that want to heal and can give real people hope.”

Soul Journeys delivers weekends and workshops across the UK that are designed to enhance the mind, body and soul. The first Soul Journeys event will be the Mind, Body Spirit Weekend. This will take place on 20-22nd November at the Orange Tree Relaxation Centre set in the Yorkshire Dales countryside. The weekend will embrace meditation, yoga, and holistic treatments including Reiki and Indian Head Massage. Jackie will also host a workshop, ‘Introducing the Power of the Mind’, intended to show her audience how to make their dreams reality.

One of the ways you can combine marketing and customer service is through opt-in marketing. With an opt-in list you get the opportunity to introduce your site and products on a good time basis.

It is essential that you present your promotional items in a manner that will catch the interest and the eye of your subscribers to keep them wanting for more.

When you have gained their trust, they will always come for you for their needs on that subject.

In connection, you must write articles or commission them to tackle subjects that are closely connected with your type of business. If you have a site for a medicine tackling a certain disease, your articles must be about the diseases. Or if you sell materials for home improvements provide articles with those themes. Most articles searched for are tips, guidelines, methods, manuals and such. If you provide these articles to your customers and you have their trust, they will always go to your site for help and advice as well as for your products.

If you are not interested in writing them or if you just don’t have the time, there are many available well experienced and knowledgeable writers available to help you out. This is an investment that will pay for itself in time.

Investing Basics – What Are Your Investment Goals

When it comes to investing, many first time investors want to jump right in with both feet. Unfortunately, very few of those investors are successful. Investing in anything requires some degree of skill. It is important to remember that few investments are a sure thing – there is the risk of losing your money!

Before you jump right in, it is better to not only find out more about investing and how it all works, but also to determine what your goals are. What do you hope to achieve with your investments? Will you be funding a college education? Buying a home? Retiring? Before you invest a single penny, really think about what you hope to achieve with that investment. Knowing what your goal is will help you make smarter investment decisions along the way!

Too often, people invest money with dreams of becoming rich overnight. This is possible – but it is also rare. It is usually a very bad idea to start investing with hopes of becoming rich overnight. It is safer to invest your money in such a way that it will grow slowly over time, and be used for retirement or a child’s education. However, if your investment goal is to get rich quick, you should learn as much about high-yield, short term investing as you possibly can before you invest.

You should strongly consider talking to a financial planner before making any investments. Your financial planner can help you determine what type of investing you must do to reach the financial goals that you have set. He or she can give you realistic information as to what kind of returns you can expect and how long it will take to reach your specific goals.

Again, remember that investing requires more than calling a broker and telling them that you want to buy stocks or bonds. It takes a certain amount of research and knowledge about the market if you hope to invest successfully.
