A couple of weeks ago there was an accident with my USB flash drive and it was in two pieces: the connector the metal pins still inside and the chip (still intact). I freaked out because I had LOT of files and documents that I needed.

Instead of calling someone to repair it, I did it myself (I am a trained and experience electronics technician and a part time instructor). With my skillset, time, a good soldering iron, and the right solder, the problem was solved and backed it up on my external hard drive.

With the right people and the skills to match, problems can be solved.

If you have ever downloaded and/or bought Trend Micro PC as an antivirus or firewall program, you are in trouble. My aunt had it and found something better but she could not uninstall it.

Unlike most programs, Trend Micro did not come with an uninstall feature and you must have an administrative password to access it at all and then there was all of its related popup messages. She called their tech support and they told her she had to update the software ($49.95) and then they could show her how to uninstall it. That is when she called me.

This removal was 45 minutes long due to researching other solutions and one registry change to completely remove and uninstall Trend Micro.

If you have software and/or programs that you cannot uninstall, contact me. I have better customer support, will explain every step to fix your problem and reasonable rates.

What Is Health Physics?

Health physics is the profession devoted to protecting people and their environment from potential radiation hazards, while making it possible to enjoy the benefits of the peaceful use of the atom.
Radiation control incorporates an understanding of many disciplines. It has common scientific interests with many areas of specialization: physics, biology, biophysics, engineering (nuclear, civil, mechanical, or electrical), chemistry, genetics, ecology, environmental sciences, metallurgy, medicine, physiology, and toxicology. The wide spectrum of knowledge required of the health physicist makes this profession both challenging and rewarding.

What Do Health Physicists Do?

Health physicists work in a variety of disciplines, including research, industry, education, environmental protection, and enforcement of government regulations. Although the health physicist usually concentrates in one of these disciplines, a professional health physicist typically performs duties in several areas.

In research, health physicists investigate principles by which radiation interacts with matter and living systems. Health physicists also study environmental levels of radioactivity and the effects of radiation on biological systems on earth and in space. This information is used in many ways, ranging from designing radiation-detection instrumentation to establishing radiation-protection standards.

Industrial or applied health physicists draw upon their technical knowledge and varied experience to advise and make recommendations to management regarding methods and equipment for use in radiation work. The health physicist also assists engineers and scientists in designing facilities and new radiation-control programs. As the primary consultant during any radiation emergency, a health physicist commonly has total control of the involved area.

Health physicists working in education develop and instruct training programs for future health physicists. They also provide any necessary training for radiation workers and the general public. These individuals instruct workers and other health physicists on the level of risk associated with particular radiation sources and methods used to reduce risk. One goal is to help individuals understand the relative degree of risk of radiation exposure. In most cases, the risk is no greater than that found in other industries.

Health physicists who work in regulatory enforcement must have knowledge and experience concerning all types of radiation hazards in order to establish guidelines for adequate radiation control. These guidelines help society receive the greatest benefits from radiation sources at the lowest possible exposure.

Backing up your computer(s). An investment in a good to great external hard drive is the way to go in this day and age. If you have a business (size does not matter) or your own personal computer, it is great because it will save and backup EVERYTHING!!!

Case in point, I had my laptop stolen in the beginning of March 2012 and was returned to me later that month by the Montgomery Police Department. Somehow the thieves set up a BIOS password prompt that only Toshiba can remove. The bad news was that they had to replace the motherboard and the HDD, which meant I lost everything on my system and I had start all over.

My external backup HDD saved the day for me and I reloaded everything. At the most, you need to a total backup of you system(s) monthly or weekly if you want to be really protected.

Here is a question: when filling out a job application, how many times you have to remember all of your relevant skills and training in those small boxes?

You sit there have to think about if for a while and may not have all the information. As part of my technical services, I can organize all of your relevant skills, training, certification, and/or licences in a neat and easy to read document(s). Message me if you are interested.

If you are a computer savvy person that likes to solve common-uncommom problems, then become your own tech support. With the big companies OUTSOURCING the support that a regular consumer needs overseas, become your local neighborhood tech support.

To do this, you must be well versed in your field, experience, and above all explain to them what is/are the problem(s) and solution(s) in Layman's Terms. Not everyone knows the difference between a malware and a trojan virus. Speak in terms that can help your customer understand you and their computer better.

If you do them a great service, word-of-mouth goes a long way.

If you have an HP Touchpad with webOS 3.0.4 and a Palm Pre/Pixi webOS 1.4.0 or higher both devices can communicate with each other through Bluetooth. Just be mindful that all calls will go to the Touchpad.

If you have both a phone and tablet with the same OS (webOS, Android, Apple, etc.) you can do the same thing as I did with the Touchpad and Pre Plus.
