5 ways to protect your Credit Card from being stolen

noreply@blogger.com (Tipslife) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:28:00 +0000

Credit Cards are as sensitive as a tip of a sharp needle. Regardless to it's sensitiveness, many people neglect to take precautions from being victimized by the invisible criminals who exploit and steal your CC details and your precious money. It is either because you don't realize the danger and risk of identity theft.

Or maybe you never faced a such scenario. Here are 5 ways that you can protect your Credit Card from being misused or stolen.

1 Never leave your card unattended:

Whether you’re at work or in hotel, never let your card being lost from your sight. Smart robbers would either note down your card details or swipe it on a data compromising device, so that they’ll be able to use your card details or the compromised data to reproduce skim-cards later on without your knowledge.

2 Never give your Credit Card details to anyone:

Your wife may be frequently using your card to do her online shopping. This could be in your presence or vice versa. And it may not be an object for you. But the danger in third-party usage of Credit Cards is when he/she using the card submits the card details to a fraudulent website erroneously. In such case, neither you nor your wife would recognize that the card is being exploited. Whenever you go through your bank statements, you may not be able to track a suspicious transaction on it. So it is always advised not to give your card details even for your loved ones.

3 Never give your Card details to unreliable websites:

While browsing the web, you may come across several offers and many irresistible websites which you cannot hold yourself from registering or buying a certain product or service from that website. It may be an extremely cheap bargain. Or it could be the perfect source of entertainment you need. But always beware that submitting your card details has got no difference than giving your card physically for an anonymous person! Sometimes you may also receive phone calls to grab your card details while you’re registering. If the website you registering is a devil in disguise, they’ll squeeze every cent available in your card. Always register on websites which are well recognized and authentic. And always use a reliable paying service such as Paypal while shopping online. Most of the established and reliable websites are affiliated with such services. And never give your card details for a phone call from the website you just registered in.

4 Beware of Double swipes of your card:

While shopping on retail stores or anywhere else, assure that you see each and every action of the storekeeper while handling your card. Counterfeiters used to do just one more excessive swipe of your card to hijack it! And therefore, always question him/her if he does an excessive try. Sometimes due to a transaction being declined, another swipe may also be required. And make sure he/she returns the same card you gave. The masterminds used to swap your card and give you a similar card if they sense you’d have a fair amount of cash in your card.

5 Monitor your card transactions on daily basis:

Just like the way you check your inbox or facebook page, adopt a habit of checking your e-banking statement regularly. You might not track any suspicious transaction in next three years. But the day you stop checking your online banking can be a nightmare for you. People and websites who used to fraud are faster than cunning foxes. Their automated systems usually charge a smaller amount such as U$0.99 or sometimes $0.00 just to verify that the card is active and accessible. Once the first transaction is being through, repetitive large amounts will be stolen until you’re out of limit. So always be on track with e-banking, and as soon as you find any suspicious fraud transaction being tried from your card, immediately call your card Issuer and block your card.

How to keep your teeth white and healthy without using Whitners

noreply@blogger.com (Tipslife) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:59:00 +0000

Brush regularly:
The ADA has recommended us to brush our teeth minimum twice a day. But the more you brush your teeth, the more your teeth stay clean. If you’re a smoker or a wine addict, then you should increase the amount of times you brush your teeth everyday.

Use a mouth wash fluid:
Use mouthwash regularly, and as you go to bed. Mouthwash is an antiseptic, antibacterial agent helps to kill micro bacterias in your mouth, and helps sustaining good oral hygiene .
If a good quality mouthwash such as Listerine is used regularly, it helps you to removing the uncleaned plaque which is left on your teeth after brushing.Plus it helps to protect your teeth from cavity.

Prefer a good toothbrush:

Never use ‘Hard’ or ‘Medium’ tooth brush. You cannot clean every bit of plaque on your teeth over night! Instead it damages your gum, leading to many oral diseases. It is always recommedned by dentists to use a Soft range of toothbrushes. One of the best toothbrush out there is the Sonicare electric toothbrush by Phillips. Lab results prove that It helps to remove everyday stains and naturally whiten teeth by up to 2 shades in 2 weeks.

Eliminate food & drinks which stains your teeth:
Coffee, tea and red-wine stains your teeth immensely if not maintained. And candies, lollipops and other sugar contained food items such as pastries stains your teeth very much. Reduce consumption of alkalic or acidic food items and drinks.And reduce fizzy drinks. They makes your teeth weaker. The best thing to do is to eliminate such habits, if you wish for a naturally whither and healthier teeth.
Also you should reduce smoking if you’re a heavy smoker. Smoking has got a rapid rate of staining your teeth.

Eat more fruits & Vegetables:
Chewing more fruits and vegetables make your teeth clean and white naturally. So make a habit of eating fruits and vegetables everyday.They’re also protects you from many diseases, delivering many essential vitamins and minerals required for your body and keeping you healthier. And drink a glass of milk regularly. It gives you more calcium, making your bones and teeth stronger.

Floss your teeth:
Always floss your teeth regularly everyday. It helps to remove food debris and plaque in between your teeth, which is left unreached after you brushing your teeth.If flossing leads to bleeding gums, then you should try using other type of dental floss. There are variety of types in dental floss. If the bleeding problem exists, you should consult a doctor.

Visit your dentist regularly:
Always consult your dentist in every 4-6 months minimum. You’ll need an oral checkup twice a year, to make sure your teeth and gums are well protected and to see whether it requires a dental cleanup.

10 ways to prevent your luggage from being lost while traveling

noreply@blogger.com (Tipslife) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:21:00 +0000

Many of us have faced the problem of luggage being lost on arrival, while traveling. It could even be your honeymoon trip! But most of the people do not know further steps to take to prevent our suite cases being lost in the future.I’ll tell you 10 simple ways that you could prevent your luggage from being misplaced.

1 Choose an authentic and a unique suitcase:

If you are willing to protect your bag, first of all the bag it self should belong to be a quality and reliable luggage family. Try to choose a well recognized brand such as Samsonite, Delsey or Travelpro. So that you make sure that it it wont wear and tear easily unless and other than being handled very carelessly. Make sure you get warranty for the bag you buy. Remember the characteristics including brand-mark, color, the weight of each bag and any other unique characteristics which makes your bag distinctive of everyone else luggage. And make a list of the contents inside each of your bag before you start your journey.If possible take some pictures of each bag of you.

2 Attach a durable name tag & a luggage strap:

Remember to attach a durable name tag including your name, home address, contact numbers and your email address. There are plenty of good quality name tags out there. I personally recommend a leather one. Also write these information on your luggage using a marker. The purpose of this is in case your name tag is being removed from your bag, to let everyone know that the bag belongs to you. If you’ve got your Frequent Flyer Card or any such privilege card, attach them as well. And make sure a luggage strap is attached on your bag. Select a distinctive color like yellow so that its easy to recognize your bag at your arrival and you can assure that someone else will not take your luggage confusing that your bag belongs to him/her.

3 Choose a quality key/combination lock:

Choose a quality lock for your bag. Many of the times, bags are being pilfered by the luggage handlers at airports due to lame supervision. I recommend you to have a TSA combination lock. The reason is TSA locks are locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks may not have to be cut. It is specially designed for travelers.

4 Fly from Business/Prestige (J) class:

Flying from Business Class can cost you a bit more. And you may wonder how does it protect your luggage from being lost when you’re flying from Business Cass. The reason is even the most low quality airline in the world do give consideration for the luggage of its Business Class passengers. A “Priority” tag is being attached on your every luggage piece while you check-in.

And these Priority Labeled bags are the first to be loaded while loading the bags to the airplane, and the first to be offloaded immediately as the flight lands. So even if you’re late to catch a flight, there is less chance that the flight could take off without a Business Class Passenger's bag. Also in case you’re bag is being misplaced, almost any airline in generally gives a better compensation for the temporary loss, and gives priority to trace your bag.

5 Do not carry unnecessary stuff inside your bag:

Don’t carry things which are irrelevant for your travel. For example you may want to take a vintage souvenir gun which you got on your birthday. But carrying varieties of stuff inside our luggage makes the security officers suspicious about your luggage. And most of the times they’d open your luggage and check every little piece inside your luggage. And sometimes if you’re bit late for your check-in, the flight would be getting ready to takeoff. And if the bag is being suspicious or further security investigations are required, your bag would be dumped.So be careful of what you carry inside your luggage.

6 Do not carry valuables:

None of the airlines would reimburse you 100% loss if your bag is being totally lost along with valuables.

If you look into most of the flight tickets, it’d be mentioned and advised not to carry valuables inside your checked-in luggage. It’s not a safe thing to do even when you think a bit logical. If you’re carrying your very personal jewelry box inside your bag, how many security officers and screening machines would have known that you carry this? So never carry valuables inside your checked-in bag to make sure that people doesn’t get excited about the stuff inside your bag.

7 Don’t make your suitcase too heavy:

Most of the airlines give a maximum baggage allowance of 20KG per piece of luggage, while fewer airlines allow 22KG per piece.And the domestic airlines in US allow to carry 45.4KG weight in total, maximum of 22.7 kg per piece. If a single suitcase of yours weighs too heavy, you’ll have to face the trouble of taking some of the items inside that bag and put it into another bag which weighs less. And the worst case scenario is your being dumped off once again. So always remember to see the baggage allowance in your flight ticket and weigh your luggage accordingly.

8 Always be on time for your flight check-in where ever possible:
Fashionably, most of us are who goes for the check-in at the last minute. It’s due to the boring time we’ll have to spend inside the terminal. And most of the times departure time gets delayed making you more nervous. But remember that the more you get late for your check-in, the more chance for your luggage being left behind for the next flight. If you arrive the terminal on final call, be prepared that you may not receive your suitcase on your next arrival.

9 Never misplace the “Baggage Tag Potion” given to you at the time of your flight check-in:

When you’re at the check-in counter, each of your luggage is being tagged with a unique non-identical number. And you get the “Baggage Tag Potion” of each bag which includes that unique number. This is the most important thing which you’ll require to claim for your luggage if your luggage did not arrive along with you on your arrivals. And if you tend to claim for a lost bag without a tag potion, you have a little hope that you’ll find your bag. Even if the bag is totally lost, you cannot even claim your airline for the loss.

10 Always claim a “Property Irregularity Report (PIR) ” on arrival if your bag is lost:

In any of the airport you arrive, if you did not receive your checked-in luggage, remember to report the Lost&Found (Baggage Tracing Department) immediately on arrival. If you go outside the terminal or noticed that one of your bag has been lost after going home, then you’ll have to face many troubles to claim it and difficulties in getting a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) .

If you have followed above mentioned steps, and if you still lost your bag, i can assure you that you’ll be able to locate and track your bag very soon! And keep in mind that its not your luggage being lost. Its your luggage being left behind in the airport where you depart.

Bon voyage!

The tech-savvy era has kept us away from the beauty of nature. sleep, eat, office, facebook, tweet and again sleep yeah? Well thats not what i mean of socializing. Try to head outside the walls of your room. Maybe a serene environment of nature or a beach. Take your life partner along with you even if he/she is not willing to. Feel the sunrise and the melody of the waves. Nature relaxes your mind in several ways. Or maybe go for a picnic with your friends for somewhere which comforts you.

How to find your birth number

noreply@blogger.com (Tipslife) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:36:00 +0000

Millions of people are obsessed in Astrology and Zodiac. Well, I’m not much of a fan of Horoscope. But I’ve seen how numbers and numerology has changed the history of science.And how it is applied on Physics. Many of the scientists believe that numbers are everything, and anything in this universe can be described by numbers. Since math has been one of my favourite subject while i studied, I’ve always done some research with it. And i tried to find my birth number, since i felt that scientifically there could be a correlation with me. And I came to know that there is a correlation between my birth number and my luck. I’ve seen a bit of how numbers are being applied in our lives.

How do you find your birth number? It’s just simple math.Sum up all the digits in your birth day, month and year. And if the result comes in two digits, again you add the two digits until you get a single digit. Suppose your birth date is 11-28-1979. And so you’ll have to 11+28+1979, which is 11. So once again add the two digits, 1+1 which results 2. And therefore your birth number is 2.

I think even if you don’t want to experiment anything from your birth number, knowing your birth number can be something beautiful. Perhaps learning something which you don’t know about yourself.

Steve jobs is my Inspiration. I want to be like him!

noreply@blogger.com (Tipslife) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:06:00 +0000

When you look into the top of Forbes or any top successful people’s list, you may notice plenty of drop-outs being the pulp of many businesses/industries. And you may wonder how is it possible? Or even you may be inspired and impressed of many of those people.

The fact is, they all have few things in common, regardless of what they do. They all follow the universal law of the “3Ps” of success. Either if you’re new into a certain career in life or already doing a good business, this is something which you should be aware of. They’re Passion, Persistence and Perspiration. Sounds simple yeah? Yes they are not difficult once the theory in conceived in your mind.Lets have a look on the no. 1 factor, Passion.

Passion:
Steve Jobs have never been a money oriented person in his life. His life has always been about to make a change by converting his dreams into reality. He has ad viced us to “Do what you love to do and make a difference”. You don’t need to follow someones footstep or portray someone else image. Just like your fingerprint is unique and nonidentical from anyone else, you choose what you desire and what you’re passionate with. So if you still don’t know your passion, try to find it, develop it by all means.

Persistence:
Being persistence can be the biggest challenge for many of you. How does Gates head on top of the rich list for ages? Thats the result of being persistence. Maybe he knows everything about Monopolism. No wonder why he has been a genius for playing monopoly while he was a kid, while others played toys. To be persistent, you need to do get stick on what you’re doing with confidence. Be positive of what you do, and to think positive of it. Do all what you’re obliged to do to make things go under control, and to resist from critics which interrupts what you’re doing! And you need to be strong in every obstacle which you come across. There are ups and downs in everything which everyone do. It doesn’t mean that its time for you to give up.

Perspiration:
Thomas Edison has been one of the most successful Inventors and entrepreneurs in history.One of his most inspiring quotations say that “ I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. And that literally means that if you’ve failed several times it’s not failure and you need to try another experiment or a method. And you keep on doing it until you see the light!Success cannot be reached without hard work and continuous effort. Napoleon has been a great conqueror, but did you know that he used to be awake for more than 72 hours in his uniform?

So there you go. If you want to be like Steve Jobs you need to be yourself. And as many of the successful people have said, follow your heart and your instincts. Find your passion, be innovative and change the world! And thats what makes you someone like Steve Jobs.
