POPSHospital Cleaners More Valuable Than Bankers
Interesting article. More below: "The study, "A Bit Rich" from the New Economics Foundation looked at six different types of British employees in aggregate, and found that: For a salary of between ?50,000 and ?12 million, top advertising executives destroy ?11 of value for every pound in value they generate. # or every ?1 hospital cleaners are paid, over ?10 in social value is generated. # For a salary of between ?75,000 and ?200,000 tax accountants destroy ?47 of value for every pound in value they generate. # For every ?1 of spent on waste recycling workers' wages, ?12 of value will be generated. Contrary to what we might expect, given the vociferous defence of the importance of wholesale banking to the UK economy, the City of London contributes only around 3 per cent of value added every year. Claims have been made about the trickle down effects of wealthy City bankers' spending in the economy but there is little real evidence to back this up"

POPSGet A Free License For Registry First Aid, A Registry Cleaner
It scans 100% clean using AntiVir. Some points to note: 1. In German "Nachname" means surname while "Vorname" means first name. 2. After installing the program you can register it via the help menu. 3. There is always a risk with any registry cleaner that it may mess up your PC. That's why you should always do a backup before erasing "erroneous" registry entries. Registry First Aid offers you a backup option right at the start; make sure you take it. Gizmo PS. Many thanks to Rhiannon for alerting me to this offer. ADDENDUM: Looking at the various comments on registry cleaners below I figured I should add my two cents worth: Over the years I've seen registry cleaners create just about as many problems as I've seen them fix. That's not to say you shouldn't use them; the trick is to use them wisely. Using them wisely pretty much amounts to not using them all that often. The very worst way to use a registry cleaner is as part of your regular computer maintenance.

POPSThe Best Way To Effectively Clean LCD Monitor Screens
NO-NO’s: * Never use cleansing agents like window cleaners, soap solutions etc. These contain chemicals that can harm the screen. In particular you should avoid anything that contains the likes of ammonia, acetone, toluene or ethyl alcohol. * Don’t spray directly on the screen. If you can’t find an atomizer bottle, you can pour some liquid onto the cloth just make sure it is not soaking wet. Again do all this away from the laptop * Do not use tissue papers, newspaper or shower towels to clean the screen. You can easily scratch the screen with these. * Don’t use tap water, it always contains some dissolved salts that can harm the screen. * Don’t clean while the laptop/computer is powered on. Turning off not only gives you a nice black screen that lets you see the stains easily, you also avoid the risk of damaging your computer accidentally. * Don’t put too much pressure on the screen while cleaning. Doing so can permanently damage the screen.

POPSMichelle Obama in White House witchcraft shock
an old unicorn and a signed photograph of Mia Farrow from Polanski's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby. A frogskin diary, hidden inside an almanac of equinoxes and solstices reveals that Michelle Obama, the glamorous 5ft 11in Harvard-educated power behind the presidential throne - has been practising witchcraft for at least 5 years. Inside the front cover of the diary was discovered a photograph of Barack wearing a 'Horny President' T-shirt, taken years before he was even involved in mainstream politics. Also discovered by federal agents were recent scorch marks on the floor of the oval office and evidence of sacrificial rituals on the White House lawn. "I always said that Obama won the Presidency by unfair means", screamed wannabe boss Sarah Palin. "That Michelle bitch cast a spell on the whole planet and everyone's gone and fallen into her clever little cauldron", growled the aggrieved Republican glamour-girl.

POPSA New Push to Turn Off the Lights in 2009 When I lived in Alice Springs sky viewing was great, but it was better when camping out of town. Translate that to cities and you can't see a thing. I have always wondered about the tall buildings needing to have all those lights on at night for the cleaners. I'd been brought up to turn lights off when leaving a room.
