Domestic tourism has been steadily increasing in the UK in recent years, with UK holidaymakers turning their backs on foreign holidays for cheaper vacations at home in the UK. The increase in 2011 was great, with domestic holidays generating an extra £10 million of the UK tourism industry, as low disposable income led many Britons to stay at home in the summer and the figures on the behaviour of UK tourists are extremely interesting. In 2011 UK holidaymakers spent in excess of £54 billion during a total of 1.5 billion day trips as the UK tourism industry experienced one of its most successful years to date, with a total of £70 billion generated by the UK tourism industry. Tourism in Wales also increased significantly last year as the country experienced a record number of visitors, who made 9.7 million overnight trips to Wales last year and spent a total of £1.7 billion. Wales is extremely popular amongst UK tourists who travel to see the country’s coastlines and nature and this is reinforced by the fact that holidays account for 62% of all visits to Wales.

The Earth would be grateful if we use more solar panels. There are several key benefits of  Solar PV panels (photovoltaic solar panels) and they are quite important:

- they are harmless for the environment.

- they don’t generate pollution.

- they deliver clean energy.

- low cost.

- more self-sufficiency.

The main problem to implement this kind of energy is that you won’t be able to use as much energy as you are currently with electrical energy. So when this energy is used, it’s recommended to have an extra battery to feed the more potential appliances and use the solar generated energy for the illumination.

Will it blend?

Tom Dickson, CEO of Blendtec, has just one question on his mind: Will it blend?

That is the question. Youtube fans ask to Blendtec to blend different stuff voting through (by?) Facebook. Fans are wicked and they asked to blend an iPhone, an iPad, golf balls, diamons or even Justin Bieber in a figurative sense. And, of course, he did it. I leave you here a video demonstration where you can watch how he blend an iPhone.

Can you imagine the result? The iPhone will finish as if he had been inside in a concreting equipment! The iPad repair is going to be expensive as well…

Set Up and Use Windows Live SkyDrive? [Online Storage]

Posted by Iñigo | Posted in Business | Posted on 19-01-2012

You need a secure place in which to store important files? An easy way to provide file access to other users, no matter where they go? You need a way to access your documents, spreadsheets and photos from any location and from any computer, but you do not want to spend a ton of money?

If any or all of these scenarios sound familiar to you, then you need to check out Windows Live SkyDrive.

WHAT IS WINDOWS LIVE SKYDRIVE:

Wondering what exactly SkyDrive is?
It is a web-based application that enables you to upload, access and share all sorts of Microsoft Office files as well as photos, videos and other types of files –a whopping 25GB of space. Your files are password protected and secure, enabling you to completely control who can access them and even which files each user can retrieve.
Since it is a cloud application, you can free up your system files knowing that you can still use the files you need whenever you need them. Not only that, but the program is free of charge and easy to use.

How to Get SkyDrive:

Part of the beauty of Windows Live SkyDrive is that you do not need to download any software. Simply go to the login page at skydrive.live.com. If you already have a Windows Live ID that you use for a Hotmail or Windows Live Messenger account, simply sign in using that email address and password to begin setting up and using SkyDrive. If you do not yet have an ID, creating one is easy.
Click the Sign Up button on the login page. Choose a user name and password, enter the basic identifying information and accept the service agreement.  Once you log in or create a Windows Live ID, your SkyDrive account opens.

Setting Up SkyDrive:

Upon logging in to your SkyDrive account, you will see a toolbar with the options NewAdd FilesView Synced Folders and Options. Beneath the toolbar is a My Documents folder, which will initially be empty, a Favorites link, where you can add links to your favorite websites, and a Photos link that you can use to create a photo album.

Uploading Files To SkyDrive:

Begin setup by uploading files that you want to store or share with others. Click Add Files on the toolbar and then select the folder in which you want to store the files. You can use the standard My Documents folder or click on New Folder to create and name a unique folder. This enables you to create folders based on criteria such as file type, the job the files pertain to or any other specifications you might have.
Adding files to your SkyDrive account is easy, and there are a couple of ways to do so. You can simply drag and drop files from your computer to the SkyDrive folder or, if you prefer, you can utilize the standard upload method in which you browse your computer for files and upload them to SkyDrive. With either method, you can upload multiple files at one time. When the upload is complete, click Continue to add the files to the folder.

Sharing SkyDrive Files:

Once you have successfully uploaded files to your Windows Live SkyDrive account, you can start sharing them right away. Go to the folder containing files you would like to share and clickShare on the toolbar and select Edit Permissions.
Choose a permission level, from Everyone to Friends. You can also enter a name from your Windows Live contacts list or an email address to grant access to specific users. Choose whether those selected can simply view files or can edit, add and delete them as well. ClickSave to apply these changes.
To notify others that you have granted them permission to access these files, click Share on the toolbar and select Send a Link. SkyDrive will send them an email with a link to the files selected. You have the added option of requiring your recipients to use a Windows Live ID in order to access the files. If you do not choose this option, anyone who receives the link can access it, which could be problematic if, for example, someone forwarded the notification email to others.

Other Windows Live SkyDrive Features:

In addition to the large amount of secure storage and the ability to share and access files from any location with web access, SkyDrive offers some other beneficial features. From the main page of your SkyDrive account, click New on the toolbar.
You will see that you can create a Word document, Excel workbook, PowerPoint presentation or OneNote notebook, even if you do not have these programs installed on the computer that you are using. Microsoft Office Web Apps, available via SkyDrive, are scaled-down versions of these popular programs.
With this bonus feature, not only can you upload and share files on SkyDrive, but  you can create them there as well. What more could you ask for?

A Catholic Confession App?

Posted by Iñigo | Posted in Social Media | Posted on 09-02-2011

It’s pretty shocking when you read in a news article that there is now a Catholic confession app on the IPhone. I always thought there was a huge divide between the two; religion being more traditional and of course technology being incredibly dynamic. However, is this a sign that religion is now wanting to become ‘at one’ with technology to increase popularity?

“Our desire is to invite Catholics to engage in their faith through digital technology. Taking to heart Pope Benedict XVI’s message from last years’ World Communications Address, our goal with this project is to offer a digital application that is truly ‘new media at the service of the word. We hope many more will take advantage of this new confession resource”
Patrick Leinen

Although i can understand the diversity that Apple apps have, i still find this app a little silly. It’s description, to me, sounds as if it’s a tutorial on how to ‘confess’ at church. Afterall, the app can’t really give you it’s verdict so why not go to church and confess appropriately? And another problem, what if someone gets their hands on your phone and sees your so called ‘sins’. I personally think an app like this is just a waste of space. I would to love hear your opinion though. Feel free to drop a comment.

The Modern Industrial Scenario

In modern terms, heat is concisely defined as energy in transit. Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, in his 1871 classic Theory of Heat, was one of the first to enunciate a modern definition of “heat”. In short, Maxwell outlined four stipulations on the definition of heat. One, it is “something which may be transferred from one body to another”, as per the second law of thermodynamics. Two, it can be spoken of as a “measurable quantity”, and thus treated mathematically like other measurable quantities. Three, it “can not be treated as a substance”; for it may be transformed into something which is not a substance, e.g. mechanical work. Lastly, it is “one of the forms of energy”. Heat tends to be an important energy for people who reside in cold climatic conditions. They use marquee heating.
