Keyboard Shortcuts You Must Know !

Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

Windows key + R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:
cmd = Command Prompt
iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer
compmgmt.msc = Computer Management
dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management
dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management
services.msc = Services
eventvwr = Event Viewer
dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers
dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services
Windows key + E = Explorer

CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

Windows key + Break = System properties

Windows key + F = Search

Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

CTRL + C = copy

CTRL + X = cut

CTRL + V = paste

Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.

Some tips for your cute eyes---


FADE THOSE DARK CIRCLES AWAY

A common beauty and dermatological complaint, dark circles make you look much older than your age. Here are some tips to cure dark circles effectively.


What Causes Dark Circles
In medical terms, it is called ‘oxidizing haemoglobin’ where tiny blood vessels spread around the delicate skin around the eyes. Since the capillaries are too small, the red blood cells clog up in a single line in order to pass through. As a result the enzymes present in your body break down the red blood cells, including the haemoglobin. This leaves a dark blue-black colour around the skin area. Since the skin around the eye area is thin and the capillaries are closer to the skin, dark circles are more visible around the eye area


Home Remedies For Dark Circles
o
Place used and refrigerated tea bags on your eyes for about 15 min.

o
Before going out, apply concealer, foundation cream and powder to cover up those dark circles.

o
Get into the healthy habit of eating well, sleeping at least 6-8 hours and drinking lots of water.

o
Practice yoga exercises such as palming. Rub the palms of your hands together till you find them warm. Then gently place them on your eyes for about 2-3 minutes. Repeat this exercise as often as you want.

o Place a metal spoon under cold running water for a few minutes, dry off the water and hold the spoons gently to your eyes for at least 60 seconds.


Beauty Remedies For Dark Circles
o
Cool half a cucumber’s juice in the refrigerator. Apply a few drops of lemon juice and gently apply around the eye for about 10 minutes and rinse.

o
Apply thin slices of cucumber on your eyes for about 5-10 minutes to soothe and cool your eyes.

o
Make a paste of turmeric powder, tomato juice and lemon juice, apply it around the eye area and wash off 10 minutes later.



Medical Remedies For Dark Circles
o
If the dark circles persist for a long time, it’s time to visit an ophthalmologist or dermatologist.

o You could use certain medicated Vitamin E creams meant for treatment of dark circles around the eye area


EYE CARE AT WORK


Here’s some exercise to completely relax the eyes and the surrounding muscles:
• Close your eyes and think of something that is pleasant or soothing and at a distance (like the horizon over a stretch of green, a sail in the midst of a huge water mass).
• Now gently open your eyes and look into the distance.
• Now shift your focus on an object that is at arm's length.
• Do this extremely relaxing exercise four to five times a day.
You will literally feel that fatigue oozing out of your eyes.




GET THAT BEAUTY SLEEP



Make-up can camouflage your dark circles but can it make you look as ravishing as after you’ve had your beauty sleep? In case of severe insomnia, be sure to consult a doctor.

DO…

• Keep regular hours for sleeping and waking.
• Try conscious relaxation or meditation before bedtime. It helps to calm the mind.
• Add a tablespoon of honey to a glass of warm milk and drink it before bedtime.
• Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
• Try reading a book.
• Have a bed switch, so you don’t have to get up to turn out the lights.

DON’T…

• Exercise just before bedtime.
• Try to sleep immediately after a meal.
• Have stimulants like coffee before bedtime.
• Keep your TV set in the bedroom.
• Force yourself to sleep. It’s a sure way of keeping awake!
 

Chemical Love Letter- Must Read

CHEMICAL LOVE LETTER

Hydrogen Tetraborate,
Carboxyl Road,
Propane

Dearest Alkali,
The day I saw you, there were sudden Chemical reactions within me involving phenolic and benzoic rings of love. Chemically, it was found that you were the reagent for the reaction. I wanted to convey my feeling that very day but since Aldehyde, Ketone and Ether were with you, I realized that the reaction conditions are unsuitable & you would show Chemical Inertness. So, I had to control the nuclear reactions of my mind using Cadmium rods.If according to first law of Love Dynamics, the following reaction: Heart(Miss Alkali in absolute privacy), Affection can be propagated, then meet me at Ammonium Restaurant, Butyl Road at 5 PM failing which I shall consume a mixture of H2SO4 + HNO3 + CH3COOH + C4H5ClNO3 +(C2H5)4Pb.

Yours Chemically,
Methanoic Acid
