When IR-ISO Created / required

Same LE, Same OU, 2 Inv Orgs:

Sub-inventory transfer/Inter-Org transfer should be sufficient (though you can still create IR-ISO provided the pre-requisite setups are done in Shippng Networks (Invnetory super user -->Set up -->Organzation -->Shipping networks and Internal order Flag is enabled )

Same LE, Different OU, 2 Inv Orgs:

Sub-inventory transfer/Inter-Org transfer should be sufficient (though you can still create IR-ISO provided the pre-requisite setups are done in Shippng Networks (Invnetory super user -->Set up -->Organzation -->Shipping networks and Internal order Flag is enabled )

Different LE (OU and Inv Orgs will always be different):

IR-ISO has to be created since goods have to be sent out of the country.

BartPE and UBCD4WIN are bootable CD’s that will let you gain access to your system in the event of windows not booting up. You will need an XP CD to create these discs. Even if you don’t think You’ll ever use these, they are fascinating from the geek tool standpoint and are fun to fool around with.

Quick Notes On Getting Bart's PE/Ultimate Boot CD For Windows To Boot From A Thumb Drive

  The utility I use to put UBCD4Win on a UFD is called ubcd4winToUSB, which comes with the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows distribution and can be found in C:\UBCD4Win\plugin\!Critical\ubcd4winToUSB . It does not seem to work in Vista, so do your build from a Windows XP SP2/SP3 box. After installing it to my 4GB thumbdrive it kept giving me a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) with the error code 0x0000007B whenever I tried to boot it. I found someone provided a patched version of ntdetect.com (http://www.msfn.org/board/0x0000007B-Blue-Screen-Error-During-Text-t112630.html&p=738009#entry738009 ) that solved my problem and now it boots fine on all my boxes.

BARTPE

Is a lightweight variant of the 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, similar to Windows Preinstallation Environment, which can be run from a Live CD or Live USB drive.

A BartPE system image is created using PE Builder, a freeware program created by Bart Lagerweij. It requires a legal copy of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Additional applications can be included in the image using plugins.

BartPE cannot create Windows Vista^[2] or Windows 7 Live DVDs.

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows or UBCD4Win is a bootable recovery CD (live CD) that contains software used for repairing, restoring, and diagnosing many computer problems. It is based on BartPE

Unless you can borrow a XP CD you can't make a BartPE or UBCD4Win ISO (CD/DVD or USB )

 XP-Iso-Builder to try and make an XP cd. 

Problems with DELL Laptops

When the Builder is looking to validate the source files.. it only checks for a few files... it doesn't validate the complete set of files. Since your i386 directory isn't setup like a true CD... it fails on the files that it can't find that you've listed.

Instead of using specific letters such as .sy_ etc... lets use the letter "x" to indicate any other letter since there can be different various files not just .sys etc. A file that ends with .xx_ is a compressed version of the original file. So myfile.xx_ is simply a compressed version of myfile.xxx . The builder is looking for the .xx_ file to uncompress when you get the error because Dell had chosen to use the non-standard method of keeping the files uncompressed.

You may be able to recreate the compressed files using the MS Makecab util available from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310618 ... If you try this for each missing file error... I would suggest that you also leave the original file where it is also so it won't affect anything else that Dell may have done in this area. Of course then you still won't be assured of a build that goes without other errors that won't need corrected but it would be a step in that direction.

White balance

White balance

Where, with film you either shot print film in daylight or with flash indoors, and with slide film, you used daylight or tungsten film, or used compensating filters with these. White balance is Digital’s version-you select a white balance based on the condition of the light you are using, so the camera’s meter allows for white to photograph as white
Auto white balance does a reasonable job most of the time, but it cannot cope in some situations-especially when subject is in deep shadow. You need to know when to use the white balance settings for all situations, and this table will help you understand: ( degrees Kelvin is a means of determining colour temperature)

Sunrise/sunset 2400-3000 Kelvin……………………Use Auto white balance
Tungsten lighting 3200-3500 Kelvin ……………………Use tungsten/Incandescent white balance
Fluorescent lighting 4000 Kelvin …………… Use fluorescent White balance
Early morning/afternoon sun 4000 Kelvin…….Use auto white balance/ --fluorescent white balance
(Magenta filter) to counter greenish cast on skin from foliage if under trees or on really green grass
Noon sun/Sun overhead…5000-6500 Kelvin…………………….use Cloudy White balance 
Flash photography in daylight 5500 Kelvin ………………………Use Flash White balance
Deep shade………………….6500 Kelvin…………………………Use cloudy/shade white balance
Shade in daylight 7500 Kelvin ………………………………......Use shade white balance
Heavy overcast, very dark shade 8000 to 10000 Kelvin………Use shade white balance plus 81a-85c glass filter

To set custom White balance: (Nikon)

Select a neutral coloured object to set your white balance
It’s best to avoid using a white target. The camera prefers grey. If you use white in direct sunlight you'll always get a "No Gd" response from the camera because the Matrix meter is rendering it white instead of grey. Thus the trick is to select the centre-weighted meter when using a white reference in bright light and you'll get "Good" from a camera. Remember to set back to Matrix metering as soon as you're done.


-------------------------------------------
TRICK
WhiteBalance : Tungsten
Set -1 or -2 exposure compensation and use this setting in daylight to simulate night!
Cloudy : best for most shots outdoors in direct sunlight
Custom White Balance :
Set it pointed at something colored or through a colored filter
and your resulting photos will have a color cast opposite the color to which you set it!
Set it on something blue and photos come out yellow,
set it on something purple and the photos come out green.
Point it at something warm and you get cool and vice versa.

Term insurance policy riders

Choosing Term Insurance -- Good

Insurance Companies Claim/Settlement Ratio

1. Accidental Death Riders- This means you will get additional life cover but only if you get death from accident

2. Critical Illness Rider- This will help you to get additional life cover if you die due to the illness mentioned in the policy while buying it

3. Disability Rider- This rider covers you for disability and pays you life cover in some predefined installments in the case where you become permanent disable

4. Waiver of Premium- In case you become permanently disable due to some accident, you would be waived off for the future premium payments while your term insurance policy will remain in continuation

Finally while choosing the term insurance plan, one can recommend choosing HDFC Life Insurance which has high claim settlement ratio though it has high premium, this option may be one of the best term insurance policies in India.

What are Riders in Term Insurance?




Riders are the extra benefits that can be purchased and covered for under the life insurance policy. Apart from the basic Life insurance cover, you can choose to add some extra benefits to the life insurance cover, but you will have to pay extra premium to get such add-on benefits. The basic premiums will then increase. Note that the base policy features are always there and you get the base Sum Assured in case of death. Addition of these riders has nothing to do with the original rules of the policy. Let us see all the riders one by one.

1. Accidental Death Rider

In this rider, you get additional sum assured if the death occurs due to an accident. The biggest myth which investors have is that they will get the money if death is due to accident only if this rider is added, else not. This is not true. If you don’t take this rider, still the base Sum assured will be paid to you. This rider is only for the extra sum assured in case of death due to accident at additional cost, nothing else. So if you take a policy of 50 lacs sum assured with accidental rider of 25 lacs. You will get 50 lacs in case of death other than accident and 75 lacs in case of death in accident. A lot of policies cover you from disabilities which arise out of accidents. See Accidental Insurance Policies

2. Permanent & Partial Disability

This rider is helpful in case you are disabled permanently or temporarily due to accident. In that case most of the policies pay periodically for next 5-10 yrs a certain percentage of Sum Assured. For example, 10% of Sum Assured per year for next 10 yrs. This way this rider acts like an income generation insurance most of the times. However note that the rider is helpful only incase the disability happens due to accident only. Read the policy document of the company for exact wordings. Most of the times, this rider is combined with Accident Death rider.

3. Critical Illness

This rider gives you a lump sum amount if you are diagnosed with an illness which is pre-specified and is mentioned in the policy. Generally all the major illnesses are covered in Critical Illness cover. Some of the examples of critical illness mentioned are Heart Attack, Cancer, Stroke, Coronary artery by-pass graft surgery (CABG), Kidney failure and Paralysis for example. After the critical illness is detected, the policy might continue or terminate as per the policy document. At times, the policy coverage reduces by the amount paid to you. So better read the policy document to know exactly what will happen in this rider.

4. Waiver of Premium

This rider makes sure that in case you are not able to pay future premium due to disability or income loss, the future premiums are waived off but your policy is still in force like always. This is in a way insurance of the premium payment till your policy expiry date. In case this rider is not present and you are disabled and not able to pay the premiums, then the policy will expire and you will not get any benefit later when you die because due to non-payment of premium the policy expires and the cover stops.

5. Income Benefit Rider

This rider is present in some policies and it’s mainly for the income generation after the death of the policyholder. If this rider is present, the policy holder’s family will get additional income per year for 5-10 yrs along with regular Sum Assured. For example, 10% of Sum Assured for next 10 yrs will be received by the policy holder’s family.

Riders come with cost and exclusions



Note that riders come with cost, so just because they are present in the policy as add-ons, don’t jump and include every kind of rider possible. Ask yourself why you need a rider and if there is really a need for it. Read about the rider rules in details and read what is not included in that rider. Also compare the cost of riders from different companies to take a better decision.

Bija Mantras

Sounds Of The Chakras

Within each human being lies the power to affect change through the power of a chant, the spoken words, or even a gentle whisper. The body's chakras or energy centers, so closely intertwined with their corresponding regions of the body, can be represented in sound, which parallels the energy pattern of the chakras and is symbolic of their essences. These unique sounds are the bija, or seed, mantras. The mantras are the one-syllable seed sounds that, when said aloud, activate the energy of the chakras in order to purify and balance the mind and body. When you speak the bija mantras, you resonate with the energy of the associated chakra, helping you focus upon your own instinctive awareness of your body and its needs.




OM is the most renowned and expansive of the bija mantras. It is the mantra of assent and the form of creation, causing energy to surge upward and outward.



KRIM (pronounced as 'kreem') stimulates and transforms the lower chakras, awakening and purifying the body.



SHRIM (pronounced 'shreem') is associated with the head and third eye and, while promoting health, can be used to flood the senses with delight and beauty.



HRIM (pronounced 'hreem') holds creativity and healing powers. Speaking it has the power to awaken and purify the heart.



HUM (pronounced 'hoom') destroys negativity and inspires vitality throughout the body.



In traditional Hatha Yoga, the seven cleansing bija mantras associated with the chakras are:



LAM for the earth chakra (1)

VAM for the water chakra (2)

RAM for the fire chakra (3)

YAM for the heart chakra (4)

HAM for the throat chakra (5)

AUM for the third eye (6)

AH for the crown chakra (7)



But the seed mantras, which are vessels of a self-generating power, are by no means truly rigid. The meaning of each seed mantra can be subtly changed through their intonation and the intention of those who speak them. When you chant the bija mantras, either one at a time or in sequences most often beginning with OM, your mind will be gradually become attuned to the mantras' finer frequencies until the source energy is reached and the mantra becomes the seed of spiritual energy of the chakras
