History of Lorem Ipsum

After you know what is "Lorem Ipsum" from my last post, now I want to share with you the history of "Lorem Ipsum". Check this out!

The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC

"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?"

1914 translation by H. Rackham

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"

Section 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC

"At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis dolor repellendus. Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat."

1914 translation by H. Rackham

"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

What is "Lorem Ipsum"?

We have seen lot of dummy website use "Lorem Ipsum" sentences but oftenly we don't know what is exactly "Lorem Ipsum" mean? In this post, I will try tell you what is this...

"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..."

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Where can I get some?

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Trusted Company Provide Anti Oxidant Drugs

My friend who was a doctor from respiratory department in one Hospital, have many patients who have certain disease called IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis).

He usually prescribe acetylcysteine (kind of antioxidant drug) to patients, for the main reason for IPF is oxidation. As a doctor, he knew oxidation is happened in all part of human body, no matter in patients or healthy people.

The most obvious thing and have strong relationship of oxidation is aging. Thus, antioxidant drugs is so important for anti aging. And just like acetylcysteine, the structure of the antioxidant drugs include glutathione, it’s penny stocks and free radical. That’s why it could be used in antioxidant way and finally have anti aging function.

Then he asked me to help him to search on the internet which companies provide these drugs that are so important for health and beauty. Because based on his story, there are few reliable and trusted companies that provide these drugs. They just want to take huge profit from their consumers.

Soon I found Oxis International website at http://www.oxis.com. I told him that OXIS International, Inc. is engaged in the research, development and sale of products that counteract the harmful effects of "oxidative stress". After he learned the website, he sure Oxis is the company that he looking for.

If you also need more informations about this drugs, you can see their page. Or, you can see Oxis on facebook and follow Oxis on Twitter .

Hope this can help you too :)

Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.

Search Engine Optimization: Top Fallacies And Misconceptions

Search Engine Optimization service providers help businesses appear in the top of search list and get good rankings in the search results. The techniques used by SEO firms are not very openly discussed or described. SEO firms believe in maintaining some level of secrecy due to the stiff competition amongst various SEO firms. This secrecy and anonymity leads to misconceptions about SEO and it appears like some mystical phenomena.

To clear the clouds surrounding SEO, here are some of the SEO related myths. This will give a better understanding of what Search Engine Optimization is:

1. SEO firms that rank high in the search are the best
As a norm, people tend to judge the efficiency and performance of a SEO firm from the internet search results. The ones appearing higher in the search list may be considered the better ones. That may always not be true. A cautious approach is to go through client referrals. These are the SEO firms that would value the work of their clients higher than their own publicity and ranking.

Do a proper research of the methods used by SEO firms in case the choice is made based on the search results. This is of prime importance, as many SEO firms would use a fixed set of methodologies, which may and may not work in the best of ways for you.

2. SEO alone can guarantee a good ranking for the website
As with any business model, the basic need for any business to do well is to have a viable product and service. The content of the website also has to be unique and fresh. A business with an unattractive product or service is likely to be doomed, irrespective of the quality of search engine optimization done. A good product along with efficient SEO augments the business prospects many folds.

3. SEO firm in the neighborhood is better that remote ones
There is a general perception that a SEO firm in the vicinity would be easier to communicate with. This may not always be the case. Many successful deals and ventures have blossomed out of remote association between SEO firms and the client companies. Plans, ideas and other essentials can be communicated over phone, emails, instant messaging etc. The SEO personnel can travel down to client location if physical presence is needed.

4. Any reputed SEO firm would be good for you
Yes, a good SEO firm would be good for your business. But it's always better to interview a few. Look out for SEO companies that would serve your present and future goals. SEO firms that have experience in your industry would certainly be an added advantage.

5. SEO firms need to optimize for Google only
Google is the main player in the search market. It owns the largest percentage of the search market share. Nonetheless, there are other very popular search engines like Yahoo and MSN. They are used by a large number of people who could be future clients. Search engine optimization should be performed for these along with other popular search engines.

6. SEO firms use mysterious methods
There is a lot of secrecy maintained in the SEO world. This is mainly because of tough competition arising out of undisclosed changes done constantly by search engines etc. Yet, SEO is all about hard work, methodologies and skills acquired over years of experience.

Search Engine Optimization is a continuous process. Good SEO firms can help businesses do well. Companies should be very selective when hiring an SEO firm and should look out for client referrals whenever possible.

How To Intensify Internet Marketing For Your Website

The web is a very competitive place and there are many online businesses trying to intensify their internet marketing. Survival for the fittest is the order of the day. Over the years I have heard all kinds of advice from gurus, parents, friends, and definitely from teachers, but my favorite comes from the movie Gladiator when Russell Crowe says: "On my mark, unleash hell."

If you've been working around internet marketing for awhile, chances are someone else has quoted this same line. The truth is I don't blame them. After all, it epitomizes the very core of what marketing programs teach you. Here is how it works:

You find a target and pick a market which is favorable for approach. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be a perfect idea, but if it sounds good on paper then you should take a deeper look. Just remember that you need to maintain interest throughout.

Once you come across something (product) you should mark out the main spots. What sort of advertising mediums can you use? What kind of budget is available? Do you have a strategy for each point? Okay, the more detailed you get the more excruciating everything becomes. In the beginning though you should allocate a monthly budget so that you can use a pay per click campaign and in order to figure out your targeted keywords. This will allow you to monitor your advertising and fine tune any mistakes to make it successful.

There are two different kinds of approaches to intensify your internet marketing. If you have a wide open budget and can afford to spend money on traffic then use the first approach. Then again, if your business pays for your advertising budget (or most of it), use the second option.

The first approach is all-out marketing. This is where you go crazy with your strategies. You're basically bringing everything out at once. It allows you to blanket your target market, have a slow build-up, tackling different advertising mediums and building a crescendo effect so that you replicate your all-out marketing technique over and over again.

The second approach is for you to take the term "unleash hell" and understand another valuable online business lesson. All you have to do is figure out your product or business idea and GET IT OUT THERE! Don't worry about refining and managing right now, because you will have plenty of time to do that later. Just take your business to the market and let everything else fall into place.

Another thing to consider is that you don't want to wait months to find the perfect idea. If you just pick an idea that is "good enough" you will be able to launch your business. Take for example a resume writer who wants to sell his services online. What this individual needs to do is to build a website and place the basic contact information and payment options.

When you wait too long to promote your product, service or website, tons of money will be passed by. So don't wait until you have a "finished" product before you start your campaign. If you promote during the development process you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. When you become successful and your marketing methods are a success, you can take the time to finish it later on down the road.

Internet Marketing Strategy Tips

Why do so many people who try their hand at Internet marketing give up after experiencing initial frustrations and failure?

One answer may be that they do not have a viable Internet marketing strategy and cannot see the "trees" for the "wood".

And the wood seems so big that it's more like a huge impenetrable forest full of dangerous swamps and wild beasts lurking in the darkness waiting to tear them apart.

Like the character Pliable in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, they set out with high hopes, but on their first slip they fall into the Slough of Despond and don't go any further.

They didn't know it would be so difficult. They didn't know the forest was so big and dangerous.

They look around in the darkness, feel overawed, and retreat back out onto familiar ground.

Pretty soon they have forgotten about Internet marketing and have taken up the latest Internet game or some other beguiling distraction.

Then there are those who, like Dante, go wandering along without noticing where they are going until suddenly they find themselves in the middle of the forest but with no idea which way to turn because they have come thus far without a map or a compass.

If you want to succeed with Internet marketing, don't give up like Pliable at the first mishap, and don't end up lost in the middle like Dante. Instead, right from the outset, stop focusing on the forest and start focusing on the trees. More precisely focus on one tree at a time, the one that is right in front of you.

If you think about the size of the forest and the number of wild beasts inside it you will never get through it.

But if you just focus on getting past the next tree in your path you will slowly but surely make progress and that progress will bring you through the forest. In short, you will succeed in your mission to become a successful Internet marketer.

So don't worry if you cannot see the wood for the trees. Just aim to get past the tree immediately in front of you.

Once you've done that, look for the very next tree in your path and concentrate completely on getting past that one. And so on and so on, one step at a time one step at a time.

If you want some help getting through the forest, find somebody who has been through it already and borrow their map and compass before you set out. Planning with a sense of direction will greatly help your ability to find a route through the trees - one tree at a time.

It's just the same when planning to succeed on the Internet. Find a mentor, follow the path he or she lays out, and concentrate on the immediate task in hand. This will provide you with an Internet marketing strategy that will help you get through the "virtual forest" one step at a time.

Starting A Home Business

You will enjoy this article if you are on the fence right now about starting a home business.

In it we will go over six reasons having a home business of your own can be good for you!

The summary this is six reasons starting a home business makes sense. Some or all of these reasons may appeal to you!

1. Earn money to pay off your bills. Everyone can use more money with the unemployment rate as high as it is.
   In your case you may have bills right now that you are behind on. Starting and running a successful home business of your own will help you create more income which you can use to get rid of some of those bills you are lagging on.
   
2. Use the extra money to purchase your own home. There certainly are a large number of people renting and developers are continuing to build more rental properties.
   However many people who do rent either an apartment or a home would love to purchase their own home. Having extra money to cover a monthly mortgage payment, or save for the down payment, is really possible when you have your own home business.
   
3. Use it to promote family time together. This is a good strategy because you'll never get that time with your kids back.
   You will be amazed at how much more fun it is when you have the money to do extra things such as participating in kids sports, go to movies, give your kids music lessons, and so on.
   
4. Increase your savings account so you can live more comfortably later in your life. Having a nest egg is one thing that many people dream about.
   Although there are no guarantees in life if you are cautious about how you save your money you can financially set yourself up much better than if you don't.
   
5. Money does not mean everything to everybody, but what you do with your money can mean a lot to the people. Having extra money to donate to charities or worthy causes is a tremendously good feeling.
   If you are not a materialistic person you can surely find reasons to run a home business and take your profits to help other people. Once you have a charitable organization you are involved with you might be amazed at how much harder you are willing to work.
   
6. Get out and see a little bit more of the world. Depending on the type of home business you have you could run it right from your computer anywhere that you have Internet access.
   Traveling can be a lot of fun and mixing in business with pleasure with your own Internet home business certainly makes that more possible.

So, how do you think?

Help Your Business Succeed Using Video Marketing

As of now, there are many experienced marketers who are taking advantage of video marketing, while video sharing sites like Youtube keep growing and enhancing their technology. What is the meaning behind this? All it means is that people can make videos on their own, put them online, and reap the attention and benefits it gains them. Video marketing is an online marketing method that can let you put a little personality into your marketing campaign and lets potential customers build trust.

You should definitely consider video marketing if you are in search of a very effective marketing campaign for your business. With just one high quality video produced, you can deliver your message and/or information about your product while simultaneously building a trusting relationship between you and your current as well as potential customers/clients. Using video as your marketing medium is equally as good as dialing your target market personally. Video is a strong way to deeply connect with your clients. This article will delve into a variety of video techniques you could use to help boost your company's profits.

Give Your Videos Proper Tags
Once you've figured out your target audience for the video, start to figure out how long you want it to be. For instance, if you only want to create a short video clip, make sure it doesn't go any longer than two minutes. If you are making an advertisement, then your video shouldn't be more than 30 or 60 seconds long. Whatever type of video you're producing, you should make your main point within the first 6 to 8 seconds. Don't dance around it; come out and say exactly what you need to say. Make sure your video is simple, strong, and short. If you don't have the required video editing skills, you can hire someone who can do the job for you or simply outsource it a freelancer.

Know Your Target Market
Don't let yourself confuse your target market with something else or vice versa. When choosing a target market, make sure you understand who they are, what their needs are, and what else they are looking for. Video marketing like any other marketing depends on how well you cater to the specific needs of your potential customers/prospects. You will need to understand market demographics at a deeper level if you aim to market a service or some kind of merchandise online, and this will provide you with a greater awareness on what does and doesn't work for boosting profits. In thinking about what is going to be in your video, keep your target market in mind, you want to make sure every video is addressing a current demand or need.

What Rfid Is Doing For Warehouses

Recent advancements in RFID technology have made it a useful and affordable part of warehouse management software. With the introduction of tags that can be mounted on metal in 2008, one of the final barriers was overcome. It seems that the "next generation" is here.

The term "smart stores" is used to describe next generation retail establishments. There are already several of these stores in operation. In order for your wholesale products to be sold in these establishments, the items must have a radio frequency identification tag.

The stores are set up to monitor every item that comes into the receiving dock and every item that goes out of the store. With the appropriate security system in place, employees are alerted when an item has not been paid for. This should virtually eliminate shoplifting.

They are called smart stores because they require fewer employees. The customer is the cashier. But, instead of scanning barcodes as they do at a self-checkout in other establishments, the radio frequency ID tags are read. The readers are more accurate at longer distances. They are also much easier to use than barcode scanners.

If you own a wholesale business, your warehouse management software must be ready for the future. It is "truly" just around the corner. Some retailers have already notified their vendors that they must switch to RFID tags if they want to keep their contracts.

The US government has contacted their vendors about making the change. Extensions were granted as companies like ODIN worked to improve the technology. You can expect that the extensions will expire very soon now.

You might be concerned that the cost of the latest warehouse management software will be too high or that RFID tags cost too much. There is really no need to worry.

The cost of the tags has come down as the technology has improved and their popularity has increased. Programs compatible with the technology cost no more than older systems.

In the long run, your company cannot afford to be without the technology. It will eventually become a requirement for doing business around the world.

Warehouses find that the costs of the programs are quickly recovered by reduced losses and improvements in efficiency. Inventory tracking and recording becomes easier. There are fewer "out-of-stock" items, because the scanners accurately record outgoing items. The systems can even be designed to automatically reorder popular products.

In other words, the latest warehouse management software will help increase your profits. RFID tagging is just one of the new developments. Consult your designer about others.
