Improve your reading skills

Many people have trouble with reading. Reading is hard for some people and it can take time. Reading is a process of the brain where you look at symbols on a page, and your mind sees the patterns of characters and understands the meaning in them. If you develop good reading skills, it'll be very helpful to your future. Aren't your school teachers always saying 'Read more books!'? Here are a few steps and tips to get started. 
 Steps 

1.Find something to read.Examples include a children's book, a newspaper article, a short story, or something on Wikipedia.

2.Sound out each letter as best you can and you will notice they form some sort of word.Some letters fit together. For example, "th" is not pronounced as t + h, but rather as one unit. This is called a 'phoneme'.

3.Find a place to read where you can concentrate.This may be someplace secret where no one will bother you, or simply your home at a time when it is quiet. 

4.Begin your reading by looking at the pictures, or listening to the music to get a feel for what you are going to be reading about.

 5.Start with titles, names, or other larger print items that you may know or ever thought about. 

6.Read as much as you are able.When you start getting bored or need a break, take one. Reading should be fun and enjoyable, don't force it. After your break, return to where you were, and continue.

7.Reread the material.It is okay to reread something if you do not understand it fully the first time. 

8.Go to the library and pick up lots of books.Pick books depending on your readinglevel, no matter what your age.

Upgrade SSD

QUICK BOOTING

with a small SSD

1.
PREPARE TO reinstall THe OS: To take advantage of the SSD's
speed, you will ideally need to reinstall your operating
system. Make sure you back up all your data and settings
before doing so. If you must avoid reinstalling at all costs,
software such as O&O SSD Migration Kit (www.oo-
software.com) will let you replicate your existing drive to an
SSD via a USB adapter.

2.
UsInG a UsB cAsInG: Some SSDs are sold with external
casings  that you can put your old hard drive into after the
replacement operation. Alternatively, you can buy one online
or at a local computer market. Use it to perform the
migration or copy data to another partition.

3.
INStAlLiNg THe SSD: Older notebooks usually have an
accessible flap or panel to allow easy hard drive
replacements. Newer ones might require you to pop off the
entire rear shell or the keyboard, in which case you will have
to follow the service manual's instructions very carefully.
SSDs usually come with a bracket that fits into desktop
3.5-inch hard drive bays.

Basic upgrades for more speed

MORE SPEED

with basic upgrades

A RAM upgrade is one of the easiest
and least expensive ways to boost
performance. CPUs are tougher to replace,
but there's nothing more effective.

1.SyStEm EvAlUaTiOn: When upgrading RAM, keep in mind that
every computer with a 64-bit operating system will
benefit from 4 or better 8 GB of RAM but the maximum for
32-bit OSes is 4 GB. The tool CPU-Z (www.cpuid.com)
shows the type of RAM and the amount already in your PC.

2.InStAlLiNg RAm mOdUlEs: Get hold of RAM modules of the
appropriate DDR standard (DDR2 or DDR3) for your PC,
making sure that their frequencies match your existing
modules. Dual-channel mode is more effective, and requires
two or four modules of equal specifications. Consider
whether it would be better replacing your existing RAM
altogether, especially if RAM slots are limited.

3 .UpGrAdInG NoTeBoOk: RaM  Notebooks have small SODIMM
modules. In most cases, there are only two slots and
both are occupied. To remove a module, gently pull the
holders outward till it springs out. A new one will snap in.

4 .SeLeCtInG a CpU: Depending on the age of the CPU and
motherboard, you might have to check second-hand
markets or websites such as eBay to find a suitable
replacement. You might be able to use an Intel Core 2 Quad
instead of a Core 2 Duo, or an AMD Phenom instead of an
Athlon. For notebooks and compact PCs, if the CPU is
upgradeable at all, custom motherboards and coolers make
it difficult to identify exactly which replacements might
work. In CPU-Z, check 'CPU | Max TDP' and 'Mainboard |
Chipset'. For Intel chipsets, go to ark.intel.com. Click
'Desktop Products' (PC) or 'Mobile Products' (Notebook),
click on 'Chipsets' and then the name of your chipset. All
supported CPUs are listed under 'Compatible products'.
Select a CPU and check that its 'Max TDP' does not exceed
that of your current CPU. In case of AMD CPUs, you need to
research online which CPU is right for your socket, chipset
and cooling system (TDP), since there are many options.

5.
InStAlLiNg a nEw CpU: For desktop PCs, first unplug the CPU
cooler. Remove the holder on one side of the cooler and
then the other to lift it off. Use a piece of cloth and spirit to
clean traces of the old thermal compound off the cooler.
Open the locking lever and replace the CPU in the socket,
ensuring it is seated flat, not one corner first. Ensure that the
markings on the CPU and socket line up, and don't use too
much pressure. Squeeze a pea-sized drop of thermal
compound on the new CPU and flatten it with the cooler
base before securing the cooler and plugging it in again. For
notebooks, you will have to consult the manufacturer's
service manual or schmatics, which are often available on
their websites.

Problems with apps

Despite constant talk about revolutionary
new devices and services that improve
the quality of our lives, we’ve really got
the basics wrong. Today’s mobile products, for
example, really don't handle communication
very well. The one saving grace is that we can,
at least in theory, dial any phone number in the
world from any other phone and get through.
Imagine if some phones could only place calls
to other phones sold by the same company,
or if one exchange suddenly cut off a new
competitor. While some operators have tried
to stiļ¬‚  e cheap VoIP services (and our own WLL
debacle of a decade ago isn’t entirely forgotten),
the telephone is still a common utility and a
phone company’s duty is to connect you to a
global backbone, not just its own network. You
make phone calls, not Tata or Verizon calls. Your
provider might promise better rates for calls
within its own network, but it cannot restrict
you to it. We’d never accept anything less.
SMS is part of the core of cellular networks
so it’s there whether you use it or not. It's a
standard users can rely on, and it works the
same everywhere. Messaging apps, on the other
hand, are branded commercial products and are
thus free to do whatever they please. WhatsApp,
Kik, Facebook, ChatOn, iMessage, Line, WeChat,
BBM, Hangouts, MessageMe and Skype are just
some of the better known ones. Very few of
them let you message people who don't have
the same app. Not one of them works on all the
platforms and in all the places you’d like. Some
are exclusive to certain brands or platforms.
Barely any have clear-cut privacy and security
policies in place. None of them can guarantee
that everyone you need to talk to can be
reached. Some of them display ads or require you
to use services that create detailed profiles of
your behaviour and preferences. Messaging is a
mess, and no matter how vehemently BlackBerry
and Google claim they will solve everyone’s
problems, they’ve just made things worse.
BBM is coming to Android and iOS later
this year. Tough luck if any of your friends use
Windows Phone—BlackBerry needs to ride the
success of iOS and Android, but has no interest
in strengthening its primary competitor for the
third-place slot. Google’s new Hangouts tool
promises to unify communication across Android
and iOS devices, and PCs running Windows,
OSX and Linux (with vague allusions to wider
platform support in the future—including Glass).
Still, Google won’t let you have it easily. You
have to be running Chrome if you want to use
it on a PC and you have to sign up for Google+,
an incredibly self-serving move. Plus, there’s the
constant fear of Google monitoring conversations
to learn what ads you’ll click on. Photos are
automatically saved to Google+ and chats can’t
be “off the record” by default. Google wants
to create as detailed a log of your life as it can.
Privacy and openness? Relics of the past.
None of the existing services are any better.
Some work fine
if you and your
friends use the same
platform (and only
that platform) for all
your fixed and mobile
devices—hardly likely
to happen in the real world. They all make you
pick and choose one of them depending on who
you need to talk to and what you need to send.
No one has bothered creating a chat app or
service that’s actually designed around how we
live our lives. Maybe such a thing can't be done
on a software level alone—it would have to
be baked into hardware to let us switch focus
from one device to another—and none of the
parties concerned seem interested in working
with each other towards a larger common goal.
BBM and Hangouts aren’t going to change
anything because they’re still arrogantly trying
to make people choose one messaging service
over all others and stay dependent on it all the
time—which is exactly the opposite of how open
communication needs to work.
