Indepth Guide for Cloud Computing,its Working,Advantages and Disadvantages-
World is moving fast and now everyone is migrating their data online for better safety and quick access. Cloud Computing is a new computing service through which users can access shared resources, software and information over a network. Cloud Computing is a general term that delivers hosted services on the internet. It is a new technology where no installation of applications is required and users can access the files on any computer with internet access.
Yahoo, Gmail, Google Docs etc are the best real time examples of Cloud Computing where you don’t have to install any application on your system or server. Cloud Computing provides computation, data access, data management, storage resources to users and they can use it without having any knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
Types of Clouds
There are two types of clouds Public and Private.
Public Cloud: Public Cloud is open for all the users connected to the internet. Here everyone shares and uses the same information without interrupting other users using the same cloud. This type of cloud requires very high bandwidth.
Private Cloud: Private Cloud is only for the members or users of an organization which helps them to work use shared resources quickly and efficiently. This doesn’t require very high bandwidth.
How Does Cloud Computing Works
Before proceeding to concept of how it works first of all imagine a scenario in your mind. Suppose you are hosting a website on your machine or on local server then you have to install WAMP on windows or LAMP on Linux to keep your website live. However if you deploy your website on the cloud then you don’t have to think about your system configuration and operating system running on your machine or server. Now it the headache of the cloud service provider to give you require configuration and bandwidth on their server.
Now we will shift our focus How Does Cloud Computing Works? Cloud Computing is done through various layers known as Cloud Layers. There are five different layers used in Cloud Computing. Here is brief overview of each layer.
Cloud Application Layer:- This layer is also known as Software as a Service (SaaS). It is most utilized and visible (Front-end) layer to the end-users using the cloud. This layer is completely for the use of users. Sometimes you have to pay some fee to use SaaS applications.
Cloud Software Environment Layer: This is the second layer of Cloud Architecture and it is also known as Platform as a Service (PaaS). In this layer Application Developers role comes in play, Here developers develops and install new applications and deploys it on cloud to give more flexibility to cloud users.
Cloud Software Infrastructure Layer: this is a basic cloud service layer which is also known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It is a physical layer which manages the data, storage, firewalls etc on the cloud. This layer can be categorized into three parts: Computational resources, Data Storage and Communications.
Software Kernel: This layer is also known as Operating System (OS) layer which ensures the system is working correctly and all the required applications have installed on it. This layer basically provides the software management for the physical servers that compose the cloud.
Hardware and Firmware: This is the last and backbone layer of our Cloud which is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS) or Virtualization layer. This layer is the foundation of our cloud technology. In this layer, large number of virtual machines are connected and configured for the hosting of cloud.
Pros and Cons of Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing has following key characteristics:-
It is not much expensive software to setup a cloud server.
Applications can be easily migrated from one physical server to another.
It is most reliable service to store data and data can be recovered after any disaster.
Avoid Expense of updates and maintenance.
Access program and files from anywhere.
Run complicated programs without the technical experience.
Allows the experts to do updates and preventative maintenance quickly
It works smoothly and has high performance.
It provides high security to our data and can recover any time after any misshapen.
You don’t have to purchase licence copy of same software to run in an organization.
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
Nothing is perfect in this world. Everything has some drawbacks along with their benefits.
Security is the major advantage in Cloud Computing but you have to trust on the cloud service providers for that.
Whole our database is on third party’s hand and which again comes down to trust.
Cloud Computing has garnered so much popularity in short span of time and there are big named brands like Google, Yahoo, Amazon etc which are investing heavily in it.

Find out what is it that you want to achieve. Write a one-sentence definition of your goal. Work on this sentence until it is clear and to the point.
Read this sentence several times before falling asleep at night, and upon waking up in the morning.
Visualize your goal for some minutes, several times a day. In your mind's eye see your goal as achieved.
Keep an expectant mood and with an open mind. This will help you become more attentive and aware of ideas and opportunities that will come your way, and which will help you achieve your goal.
Exercise your will power and self-discipline to keep your focus on the goal, and to stick to your resolve to succeed. Do not let anything distract you or make you deviate from your goal.
Go on, even if there are obstacles on the way or you see no progress. Those who persevere succeed.
Silence is power. Do not talk too much on what you want to achieve. Concentrate on doing, not on talking. Too much talking with others about your desires and goals dissipate your inner powers. Learn to concentrate and channel your energy toward achieving your goal.
Achieving Your Dreams And Goals-
Achieving your dreams and goals depends on several factors:
1. You should have a specific goal.
2. You have to be sure that you really want to achieve your goal.
3. You need to have a clear mental image of your goal.
4. You need a strong desire.
5. You need to disregard and reject doubts and thoughts about failure.
6. Show confidence and faith and persevere until you gain success
How many people fulfill all the above-mentioned requirements? Just a few! Most people do not know that there are some laws governing success, which should be followed.
It is so easy and simple to daydream and then say, "Well it is just a daydream. It will never come true". It is so easy to give up due to lack of faith.
Achieving your goals shouldn't be a tough ordeal. In fact, it can be fun and pleasure, if you go in the right way. It is not hard physical work that brings success. Great success does not require hard physical labor. In fact, you need to do mental work.
Visualization and repeating affirmations make up this mental work, and are important stepping stones to achieving success. When you visualize and affirm you focus and channel your energies toward your goal. Your mind is geared toward finding solutions to bring your goal into manifestation.
By thinking in a positive manner on your goal, and not letting any doubts enter your mind, your intuition starts working, you see opportunities, and you have energy at your disposal to follow your goals and dreams.
Some people listen to subliminal messages, for programming their minds for success. There are many CD's available today, which implant subliminal messages into the mind, so as to activate its power. Some people prefer to use them, because this does not require any effort on their part. It is said that these subliminal messages, which go straight to the subconscious mind, bring faster results. Maybe they do, but then you have no control on what goes into your mind.
When you visualize and affirm your goals, you gain much more then just programming your mind passively with subliminal messages. The attention, intention and energy you channel toward visualizing and affirming, develop in you inner strength, concentration, willpower and self-discipline. You actively develop your inner powers.
One of the advantages of visualization and affirmations is that you can use them wherever you are, at any time, without the necessity of any external instruments. All you need is your mind.
Success appears in various ways, sometimes in a miraculous way, sometimes in an ordinary way, and sometimes through an opportunity that appears. A door opens, but you have to get in and take advantage of the opportunity.
Correctly following these methods will bring you more ambition, inspiration and motivation, which would enhance your chances of success.
Remember, there are big goals and there are many small daily goals, which visualization and affirmations can make them easier and faster to achieve. People often erroneously think that goals mean only big goals, such as:
becoming wealthy,
getting an expensive car,
possessing a big house with a swimming pool,
building a very successful business. The truth is that the following are no less important goals:
getting to work on time,
spending more time with the family,
reading a book,
going to see a movie,
eating less.
Wondering to know how to hack an email account? Well, before you can do that, you need to understand the real ways of hacking that actually work and also that are simply scam and do not work.
So, here in this post, I am going to discuss some of theReal and Working Ways to hack emails; along with that, I am also going to make you aware of the common myths and scams associated with email hacking.
On a regular basis, a lot of people contact me about suspecting their boyfriend or girlfriend of cheating, and ask me how to hack their email password so as to find out the truth. If you are in a similar situation where you want to hack into someone’s email account, then this post might help you!
With my experience of over 8 years in the field of ethical hacking and computer security, I can tell you that, there exists only 2 foolproof methods to hack emails. All the other methods are simply scam or don’t work.
Possible Ways to Hack an Email Account
1. Keylogging: The Easiest Way!
Keylogging simply refers to the process of recording each and every keystroke that a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. This can be done using a small software program called keylogger (also known as spy software). Once you install this program on the target computer, it will automatically load from the start-up and start capturing every keystroke typed on that computer including usernames and passwords. A keylogger software will operate in a complete stealth mode and thus remains undetected.
In order to use this software, you don’t need to have any special knowledge of hacking. Anyone with a basic knowledge of computer should be able to install and use this software with ease. I recommend the following keylogger as the best for your monitoring needs.
Here is a summary of benefits that you will receive with SniperSpy software:
1. You can ACCESS ANY PASSWORD
With SniperSpy, you can gain access to any password protected material such as Facebook, MySpace or any other email account.
2. REMOTE INSTALL Feature
SniperSpy has a Remote Install feature using which it makes it possible to install this software on a remote computer. This feature can be very handy when you do not have physical access to the target computer on which you want to install this software.
3. MONITOR EVERY ACTIVITY on the Target Computer
With SniperSpy, you can not only capture the passwords, but also spy on their IM conversations and take screenshots of the activities on the target computer.
4. NEVER GET CAUGHT
Since SniperSpy runs in a complete stealth mode, it’s presence on the target computer remains undetected. So you need not worry about being caught or traced back.
5. Extremely EASY TO USE
Since SniperSpy is designed for novice computer users, it requires no special skills to install and use.
6. Works on Both PC and MAC
SniperSpy is fully compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and Mac.
Can I Install SniperSpy on a Local Computer?
Yes, you can install SniperSpy on a Local or Remote computer. It supports both Remote and Local installations. So, you need not worry whether it is a local or a remote computer.
How Safe is to Use SniperSpy?
SniperSpy is completely safe and secure since it neither collects any information from your computer nor contact you in any way.
So, what are you waiting for? Go, grab it now and expose the truth!
2. Phishing: The Difficult Way
Phishing is the other most commonly used trick to hack email passwords. This method involves the use of Fake Login Pages whose look and feel are almost identical to that of legitimate websites. Fake login pages are created by many hackers which appear exactly as Gmail or Yahoo login pages.
Once you enter your login details on such a fake login page, they are actually stolen away by the hacker. However, creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack an email account is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc. Also, phishing is considered as a serious criminal offense and hence it is a risky job to attempt phishing attack. So, I recommend the usage of keyloggers as the best to hack email password.
Common Myths and Scams Associated with Email Hacking
Today, there are many scam websites out there on the Internet which often misguide users with false information. Some of them may even rip off your pockets with false promises. So, here are some of the things that you need to be aware of:
1. There is no readymade software program (except the keylogger) that can hack emails and get you the password instantly just with a click of a button. So, if you come across any website that claims to sell such softwares, I would advise you to stay away from them.
2. Never trust any hacking service that claims to hack any email for just $100 or $200. All I can tell you is that, most of them are no more than a scam.
3. I have seen many websites on the Internet that are distributing fake tutorials on email hacking. Most of these tutorials will tell you something like this: “you need to send an email to passwordrecovery@gmail.com along with your username and password” (or something similar). Beware! Never give away your password to anyone nor send it to any email address. If you do so, you will lose your password itself in attempt to hack somebody else’s password.

Achieving Sales Goals- Why Some Do and Some Don’t
As salespeople we were all taught to set sales goals, and told that by doing so we would sell more, make more money, and reach the top of our profession.
If you are reading this as a salesperson, past or present, I want to ask you- has that promise come true for you?
Yes? No?
For most people the answer is no, or at least not completely. I can say this with certainty because I know thousands of salespeople who have set sales goals and only a few who have consistently achieved all of their goals.
Please read on to discover why sales goals often fail to work, and keep reading for a method that can make anyone consistently achieve even the most difficult sales goals.
Let’s start by understanding why sales goals don’t work for most people.
On day one of any sales training class or in the first chapter of any sales book you read you are taught that in order to find success in sales you must set your goals. While this advice is correct, it is at the same time very incomplete and fails to reveal the the real reason that goals sometimes work, and why they often don’t.
An entire industry has been created around goal setting with the promise that salespeople can sell more by setting better goals using better methods. The problem is that none of these traditional methods address the reasons why goal setting just does not work for most people. While some of these traditional methods may work better than others, the truth is that goal setting works better for some people than for others, regardless of the method. It is the characteristics of the individual that cause goal setting to work or not, and that is the variable we need to consider.
To understand how to make goal setting an effective means to your success we need to take a close look at the relatively small group of people for whom goal setting works like magic in achieving their desired outcomes. From these people we can discover the missing secret to achieving sales goals by examining what certain characteristics they possess that others don’t. Once we know what those characteristics are we can begin to make the changes in ourselves that will cause us to achieve that same high level of sales success.
The Secret of People Who Achieve Their Sales Goals.
Their are two characteristics or abilities that those who consistently reach their sales goals have that most people do not:
The ability to convince themselves that their sales goals are a reality even before they are achieved.
The ability to maintain a laser-like focus on their sales goals until they are achieved, prioritizing their goals above all other things.
The reality is that a relatively small number of people have the natural ability to both.
Let’s look a little deeper into these characteristics.
For a goal to motivate its own achievement it must be believed to be a pending reality in the subconscious mind, and not just a possibility that may occur. If it is believed to be an absolute certainty, then the effort required to achieve it will be motivated by the certainty of the outcome. If the achievement of the goal is believed to be uncertain, then the effort applied to achieve it will reflect that uncertainty, and usually be insufficient.
The difference is exemplified in the following two patterns of thought:
“I am the top sales person in my organization, all I have to do is do the the right things every day.”
“If I do the right things every day I will become the top sales person in my organization.”
The first pattern is characteristic of goal achievers, and the second defines those who fail to reach their sales goals. The problem is, most people are naturally oriented or conditioned toward that second pattern where the achievement of the goal is uncertain- as embodied in the use of the word ‘if’. In this case, the outcome is seen as the product of, or dependent on, the effort. In contrast, the goal achiever expresses the outcome with certainty, and in the present tense as if it has already occurred. He has no doubt of the reality of the outcome, and the effort is the product of, or dependent on, the belief in that outcome.
The second characteristic of goal achievers is their ability to focus on the goal and prioritize it about all else. So often sales people set sales goals only to loose focus on those goals well before they are achieved. Perhaps this has been the case with you and your sales goals. The goal had your attention when it was first set, but soon became lost among other priorities. While it was still important, it was not your focus. For goal achievers the goal remains the number one priority and focus in their life until it is achieved, never falling our of focus despite all of the possible distractions that life can bring.
Now that you know the characteristics that separate goal achievers from those who set goals that they never achieve, lets take a look at a surprisingly simple technique that anyone can use to achieve all of their goals. If you weren’t born with the characteristics of the natural goal achievers, don’t worry, this technique will make you every bit as effect in achieving your sales goals. It just takes a little time and effort.
How Anyone Can Achieve Their Sales Goals
First, we are going to set a goal, but a little bit differently then you may be used to. For natural goal achievers the method is not very important, but for the vast majority of us setting goals in the way I’m going to teach you will allow you to gain the advantages of natural goal achievers.
For this goal setting exercise you will need a pen and paper.
1. Start with what you want to achieve.
I want to earn $200,000 in the next 12 months
2. Now imagine the moment that you achieve it. Close your eyes and see yourself at the very moment that it becomes a reality. Picture it like a movie scene complete with sights, sounds, and emotions. Really immerse yourself in the scene; see the people, notice how you feel, think the thoughts you would have in that moment about yourself and the people in your life.
We need to do this because your mind works in sensory impressions, not words. Just think of the last newspaper you read: You can remember the pictures, but can you see what the words are?
3. Write down that scene in 6 to 10 sentences. Keep in mind that your goal setting scene can be a little vague. This just allows room for your mind to fill in the details with an outcome even better than you imagined and doesn’t limit you to only one possible version of success.
I’m sitting at my desk at the end of June, 2012 looking at my commission statement for the last 12 months. At the bottom of the page is printed the figure $200,000 which represents my commissions over that period of time. I set the paper down, lean back in my chair, and reflect on all the hard work and smart decisions that brought me to this point. I smile and put my hands behind my head, allowing myself a well deserved moment of complete relaxation and enjoyment of my accomplishment. I think of my family and the opportunities and lifestyle I can now provide for them. I look forward being even more successful in the year to come.
Once you have written out the first draft continue to revise it until it sounds just right.
4. Now I’m going to ask you to do something with your written goal scene. But, before I do I want to ask you to pay careful attention to your reaction to what I am telling you.
Write out your goal scene 100 times.
What was your reaction?
If you are like most people, your reaction was something along the lines of, “One hundred times! That will take forever! Are you kidding me?”
That you had this reaction indicates to your subconscious mind that the effort required to realize the goal is not worth the effort, and that it is not really that important. This is the thinking that has likely held you back from achieving your sales goals in the past and the exact opposite of the thought characteristics of goal achievers.
This is not to say that if you have these though patterns you are not successful and have not achieved things in your life, just that those achievement came harder than they had to and fell short of what you could have made possible in your life without them. Fortunately you can reverse these patterns by writing your goals scene 100 times.
Why This Will Make Your Sales Goals a Reality
Writing out your sales goals scene 100 times will give you the advantages that natural goal achievers already have: The ability to convince their subconscious mind of the reality of the goal before it manifests, and the ability to prioritize the focus on the goal above all other things.
Because it is a scene rather than a traditional statement of intent your mind can see it happening and believe that it is real because it has all the details of something that really happens to you. When it is believed absolutely by the subconscious, your mind will generate the motivation and actions to make the belief a reality.
The repetition makes the goal a priority because each time you write your scene it creates an impression on your mind. After 100 repetitions it becomes the dominate impression, which tells your mind that it is more important than anything else. This gives your sales goals the primary focus and constant attention from your mind that is needed to achieve it.
If you are still thinking something like, will 50 repetitions work or maybe I can just read it 100 times, you have already limited your outcome. Fortunately you can turn yourself boldly in the direction of your goals by committing to this practice and sending a message of high achievement directly into you mind where it will fuel the achievements you always dreamed of.
