Recycling has become part of our national consciousness, with most of us having a recycling bin which is collected every couple of weeks. Paper, cardboard, plastic and glass can all be recycled and as our awareness of the limits on our natural resources grow, so more and more of us realize the importance of recycling and reusing these precious commodities.
One relatively new area of recycling is that of mobile phones. As mobile technology continues to grow apace, it can feel as if we’re changing our phones frequently. With contracts reaching an end, upgrades on offer and a hankering for the latest handset, many of us can end up having a drawer full of unused handsets.
Although you may want to keep one handset as a spare, there isn’t any point hanging on to old products as it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be used again. By looking at mobile phone recycling online, you could make some money for your old handset and it could be put to far better use than being sat wasting away at the bottom of your drawer.
A New Lease of Life
There are plenty of websites around offering cash for mobiles, so check out a few and compare some prices as they may vary from place to place. You’ll be asked for the make and model, or the IMEI number (usually found on your battery), which will generate a quote. Although handsets are subject to wear and tear, it’s very unlikely that you will have used it so much that it’s in an unworkable condition. Once you have sent it for recycling, it will be stripped of all its data, restored to its original settings and shipped off to places all over the world to start a new life. Places like China, Africa, India and Pakistan are heavily reliant on mobile phones as there are few land-lines there, so your reconditioned handset will find a new home and you will be better off as a result.
Precious Parts
Occasionally, a mobile phone is so old that it can’t be reconditioned, but it’s still worth sending off for recycling as it’s packed with valuable parts and components which can be reused independently, such as flash memory, batteries, chargers and precious metals like gold, silver and titanium. Sometimes, it can even be possible to put several components together from lots of phones in order to make one good new one.
So, next time you are offered an upgrade or fancy taking the next step up the mobile phone ladder, pause to think about what is going to happen to your current handset. Rather than languishing forgotten somewhere, it could be winging its way across the world, giving someone a great new opportunity for communication or being combined with other similar phones to create a whole new handset. Don’t forget that you’ll have some extra cash in your pocket too, which you can put towards your shiny new phone… until the next one comes along.
As the technologies in mobile phone and smart phones are increasing day by day, the numbers of task and is increasing. Thus mobile companies are coming up with new hardware which directly affect to energy consumption. More energy consumption means more production of heat. Thus here we have a short suggestion on how to overcome or reduce the excessive heating issue of mobile phones.
Generally the heating issue is normal if you are using smart phones, because they are uses heavy-duty processors and big battery which causes for heat generation.
If the mobile phone or smart phone generating excessive heats then you need to care about certain things. Follow up below point which will help you in keeping your mobile phone cool always.
1. Be in Cool Places
Unlike you do not want to be in hot place same the mobile phone wants. Make sure that where you keep your mobile phones is cooler place. If you have Air Conditioner in home then it is good if not then place your mobile phone where air passes clearly. Proper ventilation in room makes the whole room cool even it is a summer season.
2. Turn off Background Running Services
In mobile phone there are dozens of background running services, we do not use them always so it is good idea to make them all off. Background running services are also a reason which will heat up your mobile phone especially when those services use internet.
3. Turn off Wireless Connections on Ideal Times
When we do not use any internet and any kind of wireless connection make sure that they are off. It saves battery and also keeps your mobile phone’s temperature lower.
4. Don’t Keep Your Mobile Phone Near Other Electronic Equipments
If you are keeping your mobile phone near television, fridge, and computer’s desktop and any other electronic equipment then change the location of keeping your mobile phone.
Because such devices emits radiation and when any device emits radiation the another device may get interrupted with high frequency. On the same time mobile forces device to cross that interruption and generated heat. So never keep your mobile phones near other electronic equipments.
5. Remove Back Cover While Charging
While charging mobile phone many times it happen that the battery heat up a lot. This only happens when you have a faulty battery or you have just covered your mobile phone. If you are using any protective cover then remove it, if possible then remove battery cover also while charging.
6. Restart Your Handset Once in Couple of Days
If you use any smart phone and multi functional mobile phone then restart it in between few days. You will feel that your performance is better and mobile stay cools.
7. Use Battery Saver Apps
In mobile phone the major part is covered by battery only rest others just uses the battery. In mobile phone hardware like processor generates heat when they are used extremely. Thus using a battery saver application here is important.
8. Dim Display Lights When Needed
Just like battery, display also emits heat when they are set to show brighter lights. When you are in low light places it is better to use dim lights in your mobile phone’s display. This will save battery also and emits no heat.
9. Make Use of 2G more Over 3G or 4G and High Speed Internet Services
We all like faster internet speed, but speed is required only when we are watching online videos and surfing websites. But when we do not need internet for more than receiving emails and messages it is good idea that you switch to 2G connection.
2G uses less battery, whereas 3G and 4G are uses more battery and heat up mobile phone.
10. Avoid Exposing the Handset to Direct Sunlight
We do not need to expose the mobile handsets to direct sunlight especially when you have a black mobile handset. As we all know black things are good source of reserving heat.
Keeping above all points in mind and following them will sure help you to overcome the overheating issue of your mobile phone.
If nothing we’ve suggested work, please contact your mobile phone service provider and report them the issue of excessive heating of your mobile phone. They will check the problem and give back a new life mobile phone.
Shilpa Shetty in the movie Dostana said it so right in the song– ‘Shut up & Bounce! Baby Bounce’.She has a baby, a cricket team and a husband too now (not necessarily in the same order). If people would have understood Shilpa’s message in that song; they would not be over doing their TALKING in their lives.
Do not we find such people almost everywhere around us? People who are self obsessed, people whose stories never seem to end, people who update & check their social media statuses more number of times than they change their underwear. There are two kinds of people who don’t say much:
1. Who remain silent. 2. Who talk non-stop.
Coming to the 7 habits:
1. Story Telling:
In 2004 my cousin used to work for a reputed Pharmaceutical company. He used to come home and complain of regular headaches. I asked him ‘If it was Migraine’. He said ‘No! It is VK’. VK was his boss in his office. VK had this VVS (very very special) knack of boring people with his stories. The funnier part here was that VK religiously believed that ‘people are interested in his stories and that he was impressing them with his knowledge etc.’ VK’s confidence about his story telling ability was such high that he used to kidnap people from office corridors, their cabins and from wherever, bring them to his room and then harass them with his nonstop, low intellect verbal masturbation. My cousin made a very important point about VK. He said- ‘VK could have been the most powerful guy in his team by keeping on silently working. People just do not expect silence. They expect words, discussions, motion, crap bitching, defense, offense’. He was right. A truly confident person has nothing to prove.
2. Gossiping:
Gossip is fun to do. Isn’t it? But did you ever realize that almost everyone around you is involved in petty gossips. Then how can you make a statement to the world if you also gossip. Leave gossip for weak people. Strong people do not say anything which they did not see it with their own eyes. People discuss / criticize / talk too much about other people; maybe because they just cannot be HEROES themselves – so they find / create VILLAINS around.
3.The OCD of snatching:
I find VKs everywhere. A few years back; in a flight from Chandigarh to Mumbai a middle aged man was sitting next to me. He asked me ‘Which place I belonged to’. My ‘hardly-a-monosyllable’ answer met with an unexpected hurricane for the next one hour. He told me 3 stories of ‘when he was posted at my hometown in 80’s. He reference checked the names of some 5 people from my hometown and asked me if I knew them. I knew a couple of them and that was enough for him to almost climax & torture me more. In between the conversations whenever I tried to speak anything; he had this compulsive tendency to snatch it from me and come up with a few more egotistic paragraphs from his life.
That uncle in that flight left me with a very important lesson in communication. I realized that unknowingly I was doing something similar to a few people around me. I also had this tendency to snatch it from others even before they completed. Whenever someone told me anything or shared his / her accomplishment with me, I found that I had this inadvertent habit to say something about myself in response. That day; I learnt the power of feeling powerful by letting others retain the glory by talking more.
Even in relationships I have found that couples are always talking and talking. Their relationship fatigues early.
A ‘Quiet’ kind of a confidence communicates the best and the most. Insecure people usually talk the maximum. They are always chasing the spotlight in some way or the other.
You think people are interested in your talks or stories but trust me –‘No one is’. Only you take yourself very seriously. If someone were to video record ‘what you talk’; will you be able to listen through the complete video?
Understand that people around are already a stressed and somewhat messed up lot. They already are handling emotions at their workplaces & in their lives. If you add your ‘Laughter & Fun’ to their lives they will just worship you. No one would want to come down to anyone else’s lower emotional competence levels. The onus is on us to raise our own ‘Emotional Quotient’. IQ helps a person to demonstrate intelligence. EQ is more important however. It tells a person when to ‘Shut up’. So! Ladies if you have a boyfriend who just does not get tired of listening to your stories – ‘Keep him in a closed container’. He is a collector’s item. They do not make such guys anymore.
4. Attention seeking:
Seek ‘Respect’ & not ‘Attention’. Trust me the former lasts longer. School kids are thirsty for attention. Grownups maintain standards. Remember, ‘Demand is always inversely proportional to Price’. What we actually are communicates much more than what we actually ‘say’ about ourselves. Everyone today is clever & discerning enough to know ‘how much water the other person holds’. So! Why waste your time and energy in impressing around.
When we speak a lot we increase our chances to make a social error. Just the way filtered water keeps us away from diseases; similarly filtered speech keeps us away from self created problems. Have not we v recently seen politicians & religious gurus digging up a hole for them by making sweeping statements which boomerang against them? It takes around 2 years to learn to speak, but it takes almost lifetime to learn what not to speak! Usually when we speak a lot we end up praising ourselves in between. What happens next- ‘We will spend next a lot of energy to live upto that reputation that we created’. The same energy could have been used to make SMART Progress in life.
5. Free consultancy services:
Another totally Junk habit is ‘Giving free and unnecessary advices’. You’ll find such people all around you. They will always have an opinion about you, about everyone and everything around you. They keep on evaluating and analyzing you. They will tell you that they are your well wishers and that’s why they tell you harsh words. Anything which is not sought but gets given will never be valued. Further anything which will not be valued can never be the change agent in anyone. Very soon such advice givers will begin to get perceived like ‘a night before the board exam’ kind of stressors.
6. 24*7 mother-in-laws:
The way you do not like being critiqued / receiving even a slightly negative opinion from people about you – the same way others also do not. So why waste your energy in trying to be a policeman especially when it is almost certain that your ‘words will get taken in the wrong way 9 out of 10 times’.
There are some people who are always picking on the mistakes of others and make them feel guilty. I call them 24*7 mother-in-laws. They have a permanent fault finding microscope in their eyes. Words will never change a person. Empathy, care and a right attitude possibly may.
7. CKBs (Credit-ke-bhuke):
You’ll also see around you a very peculiar category of people who are just so hungry to claim credit for anything and everything that they did or were a part of. They just need credit & recognition at any cost. Such kind of people when they become a dad; they might also claim that – ‘main HEE hoon iska baap ; aur koi nahin’.
I will keep writing for you; as more VKs happen to me. You keep on checking your VK quotient regularly before someone else like me does a Blog in your memory.
One thing more- ‘Your Relationships are so much about Communication’. So, why not make a special effort to get smarter at that. Thinko about this ji!!

Ecommerce has gained great popularity in the recent years due to the ease of use and profitability. The buyers visit the website and browse the items that they want to buy. After they have selected items for buying and clicked on the buying tab, they are asked to provide credit card details. The Software that controls the shopping cart then sends the vital information to the payment gateway.

The payment gateway then gets in touch with the bank of the buyer and confirms if the transaction has been made. The detail about the transaction comes back to the shopping cart tool.

You have always had an issue with me- ‘Why I do not respect you fully’. That’s because me and my friends do not respect teachers but respect ‘Good Teachers’ only.
The hardest job that my friends & I face today is to behave in a well mannered way without seeing ‘Good manners’ anywhere around us. Be it college or be it at home.
Dear Teacher- what YOU teach us is just NOT interesting. It is boring, uninspiring, repetitive, fuzzy and unpractical. It is not your mistake. You are just teaching us our course curriculums. We know this. Unfortunately these curriculums do not train us to have a personality of our own. They do not make us confident, fearless, better in communication and hardly fulfil our needs for skills which are required of us to ‘make a mark in this world’. You teach us ‘what is there in the course’ but dear teacher do not forget to do that extra bit for us.
We will love you and remember your contribution for our entire life should you go that extra bit to inspire us and show us the world.
Dear Teacher- How many hours do you put in to prepare the subject before you come for our class? You come to the class, take attendance, talk it out and we slowly realize that you yourself are time passing & are stressed in your own life. Trust me teacher- we are very clever. We evaluate ‘How good you are in 3 minutes maximum’. Many of you- dear teachers are not doing your jobs but SAVING your jobs. Dear Teachers- we see the permanent teachers in our colleges hardly innovating inside the classrooms. They are too busy telling their own stories of ‘How good & experienced they are’. We are NOT interested. We can easily differentiate the genuine teacher from a ‘GAS teacher’. We come to your classes for attendance most of the times and in return my friends and I are left with no other option but to tolerate you in barter. Sometimes we also respect you because you will mark us on our ‘internal assessment’.
Teacher may we give you a polite reminder that ‘what you wear to college’ may not remain remembered by us BUT ‘what you teach’ might remain with us even after years.
Dear Teacher- please do not major in minor things e.g. it does not look nice when you ego fight with your colleagues or wash your dirty linen in public. We get confused in life about ‘Is being an elder like THIS only’?
Dear teacher- please do not fool us if the classroom is NOT an extension of your personality. We are sincerely less focussed and need your severe attention. We will treat you like God if we see divinity in the way you teach your subject.
We sincerely hope that you are in this profession out of your own choice and no one brought you here on a gun point. Dear Teachers- we want to see you happy about your salaries, positions and TA / DA etc. Please be comfortable as only then you can contribute to us better. You are ONE but we are many who are being impacted inside your classroom.
Dear Teacher- Please see for yourself that we hardly are able to LEARN the way you are teaching us in? Why do not you then teach in a way – we will LEARN in? You are certainly more matured than us.
Dear Teacher- we need your motivation more than criticism. We want you to show us more elegant ways of living life and making careers. Yes! we are obsessed with our relationships, our mobile phones, our petty issues but then if YOU do not SHOW US HOW – then who will. Now imagine if you DO – every bone in our body will commit to respect you. We will throng for your sessions by bunking our youthful stuff. We will adore you for that ‘EXTRA’ that you will put in for us. You have seen more life than us. Definitely you can prevent us from doing more mistakes in our own lives.
Please do that dear teacher. We need YOU to stand tall in our lives. We already are a slightly stressed up, messed up and an over informed but under rested lot. Your genuine baby steps definitely CAN profoundly change our entire lives and careers.
In the past, the only things of value you’d really have to worry about having insurance or protection for when you left the house were perhaps some jewellery, watches, and things like bank and credit cards. When you went on holiday, it’d be these things, plus maybe a camera, some cash and your clothes that you would need to insure.
In the increasingly digital age, however, it is pretty normal to set out for work or a day out with thousands of pounds worth of gadgets on your person, including laptops, phones, tablets, cameras, MP3 players, sat nav devices and portable DVD players. It is also likely, if you live in a household with older children, that everyone in your family has some expensive kit that they are taking out with them on a regular basis. When you go overseas on holiday, chances are all of this stuff is coming with you, too.
If you add up how much you’ve spent on all of this equipment, then it is unlikely that it’s an amount you could comfortably fork out again in one hit to replace it all if the worst happened. So, is your family’s personal gadgetry covered by your insurance, or do you need separate policies?
Gadgets on Your Home Insurance
Your home insurance may offer some cover for these devices when they are outside of the house, and even abroad, but there are likely to be some complications to this. Firstly, you will probably need to maintain a list of named items, and this is something many families don’t stay on top of when they upgrade to new laptops or phones. You should also consider the effect of the excesses and the no claims bonus – if say, just your daughter’s tablet gets lost, damaged or stolen, would it be worth claiming, or would the amount you’d have to swallow in excesses or the hit to your no claims mean it’d be better just to buy a new one, or leave her without one?
Check that your policy includes all of your electronics, and that those that are portable are insured when you’re out, but also make sure the coverage you get would suit your financial needs if you had to replace any or all of these items.
Travel Insurance
Your travel insurance may offer protection for your gadgets when you go on holiday, but look out for caveats or limits. Some policies, for example, will only pay up to 100 pounds for a phone. Plenty of handsets like iPhones and Galaxy phones cost more than three times this to buy new.
Gadget Insurance
With some gadgets, especially phones and laptops, you can take out insurance when you buy them. However, if you own a lot of these things then this can mount up to a high monthly amount. You may also consider something like Protect Your Bubble Gadget Insurance, which allows you to insure all your tech gear for use outside the home and on holiday anywhere in the world. Specialty gadget insurance tends to offer better protection than general cover as part of your home insurance purely because it is designed specifically to work for these kinds of devices, and this means the excesses tend to be more in line with the price of the items in question and you can also expect services like fast repair or replacement

PC getting a bit long in the tooth? It’s okay, we’ve all been there: you see the spinning hour glass more often than not, you can get a cup of coffee by the time it boots, and occasionally it makes a noise like a dying yeti. There’s nothing to be ashamed about, even the best PC builds only last for so long.
The good news is that here we have one of the best-bang-for-the-buck PC deals that is available today. Not only is this a premium desktop loaded with the latest parts, but it includes a 1080p monitor too. You get everything needed to be up and running in a single order at hundreds off the normal price.
This Dell XPS 8700 starts with a piano black chassis and stuffs it full of technology. Intel’s new 4th gen Core i7 quad-core processor is backed up by 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and Nvidia GeForce GT 635 graphics. That’s more than enough performance to convert video files, watch a movie, browse the web, and still have enough left to leave you figuring out how else you can multi-task.
You get a plethora of convenient front ports, including USB 3.0, a 19-in-1 media card reader, and audio inputs. Unlike many budget desktops these days, this model comes with both 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 built-in. The rest of the machine has goodies like a half dozen more USB 3.0 ports, dual video outputs, gigabit ethernet, and more.
What makes this bundle deal so good, besides the price, is the monitor included with it: an UltraSharp U2312HM. This premium screen serves up 1080p resolution on its 23-inch IPS panel. It’s stand is fully adjustable and the monitor itself is backed by a 3 year advance exchange warranty. The PC only has a one year warranty, though that does include on-site service and accidental damage coverage.
Do the math: even if you built your own PC, you wouldn’t get close to this deal once you figure in things like the new Haswell platform, a premium chassis, premium monitor, Windows license, and let’s not forget the warranty coverage. Right now this beast has a massive 28% discount that brings the price down to $879.99. We haven’t seen many bundle deals so far this year, so jump on this if you need to replace almost any desktop.
