Upload large pdf files in your blog

Have you ever tried to post a pdf file in your blog? I don’t think it’s actually possible. Let me suggest some ways to solve this problem. I did use the help of the mighty Google Search to find a solution to my problem. I am sure you people must have heard sites like esnips, meagaupload, rapidshare etc...One solution is you can always upload your files there and provide a link in the desired post. Similarly SaveFile is a free file hosting website where you can upload your files. If the pdf file is a very small one there is a simple solution. All you have to do is just login to your gmail account compose a new mail, attach the pdf file and send it to yourself. Now, open the attached file in HTML and copy the content to your blog. But this is not recommended for large files. Scribd is another File Hosting Website that works for large files. You can upload any file type, upload multiple files at the same time, and convert to flash files which can then be embedded in your site.

How do banks make money?

Have you ever thought how banks generate revenue? This seems to be a very puzzling question. In simpler terms the banks make use of your money to make more money. The basic functions of a bank are to collect savings of individuals, firms etc and maintaining them safely and issuing loans to the public. When you deposit money in a bank the bank pays you interest for using your money. Let’s say you open a FD in a bank for a term of 5 years and let’s assume the bank pays you 6% interest. If you want to buy something and if you are running short of money you may have to secure a loan from a commercial bank. The interest rate for loans vary accordingly for the purpose they are issued and they are usually higher than the interest rate you get when you make a deposit in the bank. Let’s assume that the bank charges you 10% interest for the loan you have obtained. So a person who deposits money earns 6% interest while a person who borrows money will have to pay 10% interest. The extra 4% explains the earnings of the bank.Banks also charge customers for various facilities they provide such as electronic transaction, cash withdrawal, cash transfer etc.There is something called as fixed rate and floating rate interest that the bank charges while issuing a loan. The floating rate interest implies that the interest rate fluctuates depending upon the various economic factors and government policies. So people should be aware about the floating rate system before obtaining a loan.

Make cheap International calls

VOIP (Voice over internet protocol) is an emerging technology that is being preferred by most of the Internet users worldwide to save money on telephone bills. There has been an enormous growth in the VOIP market with the advent of a lot of providers and therefore it is difficult to compare all the existing VOIP services providers. Let me restrict myself to some of the popular providers; Vonage, Skype, Magic jack and VoIP Wise. The Vonage service is being provided in US, UK and Canada. I reside in India and I have been using this service for quite sometime. I found this product amazing with excellent clarity and there a lot of user friendly features which make it which make it easier to use. My cousin who lives in New Jersey got the service activated there. The service is really good and I have no issues about it. There is another service which I would like to bring to your attention.Magicjack has been giving tough competition to all the other providers for quite some time. This installation is quick and simple. This award winning service offers free calls with good call quality for less than $40 a year. Vonage is very expensive when compared to this service.
