Earn Money Internet

First of all there are lot of scam sites doing business in this field. They charge money from people who register with them and then they don't pay anything in return. BEAWARE, most of sites
you will encounter will be fake or scams. Most of popular sites specially survey sites provides options to mainly U.S residents for earning money. Being from India you will have very little scope of earning fast money.

How to know a site is genuine or not ?

Approach i usually take is, i put name of that site in google sometimes with keyword "review"
at end then in search result sites you will get feedback from lot of users who has been duped in past from that site. Go through those reviews and then decide which one is genuine.

Second if you generally search for sites for online earning you will get lot of links in
yahoo answers and other forums. In most of them you will find one ref id at end.
People just want to trap you for referral. They will give you assurance i had got money
from this site, click link to register, basically if you register using that link he/she will
get referral money. Thats why be aware of such people.

Third thing i follow i never register at site which charges you to become member. I will not suggest to opt for sites which ask you some registration fees/charges.

Hot List :

1. www.surveyhead.com
On sign up they had given around Rs200 then if u start taking their surveys then
before start actual survey they ask questions based on answers they judge you are qualified
for survey or not. Very rare chances to qualify. You can try your luck.

2. On article i found about sites based on PTC model(paid to click) :
http://www.himarticles.com/Articles/Affiliate/Onlinejobs.htm
here you will get list of sites with their clicks rates and minimum payout. Good comparison.

3. Blogs it explains everything about online sites from which you can earn money.
http://nocostcashfromhome.blogspot.com/

4. List of sites which are fake :
http://frinder.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/9/
http://ww2.yuwie.com/blog/entry.asp?id=662888&eid=413977

5. Survey Sites for Indians
http://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/international/survey-india.htm

6. Good site information about work at home jobs/freelance sites
http://www.a1newspapers.com/

7. Scam sites list specially for data entry
http://www.squidoo.com/typeathomescams

8.http://www.mydatateam.net
This seems to be only site on internet world which has positive feedbacks. It is not related to reading emails or sending emails or clicks it is simple Data Entry. Concept is you type and submit
data you will be paid. But twist is they charge registration fee : 50$. They claim to refund
money if you do not like site in 60 days. I recommend this site if you want to try.
Similar sites which are genuine but asks same registration fees of around 50$ :
http://www.webcolleagues.com/
http://www.work-from-home-data-entry.net/
generally it is not recommended to work on all three at same time as it becomes little diffcult to handle. So go for one and try it for few months then see how you perform.

9. http://hits4pay.com/
They give some 10$ signup bonus and regularly send paid emails to your inbox , each email have advertisment, on click of that you will get 0.02$. Good but slow way of earning money.

Unchecked checkbox problem value not submitted with form - Trick to get it done

Unselected checkbox value not submitted with form

Problem definition :

Today i encountered with one of rule of Html Specification :

unselected radio buttons and checkboxes are not submitted with form.

That means if you have a boolean property xyz in form that toggles checkbox, in that case
value for xyz will be submitted only if it is checked otherwise not.

So in case of updating existing record suppose your field xyz was set to true and now user unchecks that then on form submission value of xyz will remain true, it will not become false as expected.

Solution :

Use a hidden variable of same name and with value as false. Remember your hidden variable should come after the checkbox.

Example :

Your Old code :
<input name="xyz" type="checkbox"/>

Your New Code :
<input name="xyz" type="checkbox"/>
<input name="xyz" value="false" type="hidden"/>

This will give you correct behaviour which you expect. That is if user checks the box then xyz value should be true and if user unchecks then xyz value should be false.

Other approaches which people suggest is to write some javascript for
unchecked boxes to explictly submit them Or use radio button etc,
its upto you to choose whichever works for you.

If this does not work for some one please leave a comment on this post.

• you can also add more veggies like carrots(गाजर), peas(मटर) and beans(फलियां) to suit your taste.

Method of preparation:

• Soak the rice in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Next, heat the cooking oil in a pressure cooker and add the jeera; once it starts crackling(तीखी आवाज), add all the chopped vegetables.
• Also add all the spices -- red chillie powder, coriander powder(धनिया पाउडर), garam masala and salt.
• Next add the water (2 cups -- always remember, the quantity of water should be twice as much as the rice to be cooked).
• Finally, add the rice and close the pressure cooker, allowing it to cook till the first whistle goes off. Once that happens, turn off the gas and leave the rice inside for the next five minutes.
• Open up the cooker -- your Vegetable Pulao is now ready to eat. I prefer to eat with dahi best combination.
  
• Here's a tip -- you can substitute the rice with cracked wheat (dalia)

AMIE - equivalent to B.E or B.Tech - no need to attend college

In this week i was searching for information about AMIE. I found information in pieces from various sites then i thought i should write one post to help people to understand this concept.

What is AMIE?

AMIE stands for Associate Member of Institution of Engineers. Simply speaking, it is an engineering degree course recognized by all State Governments, Central Govt., UPSC etc as equivalent to B.E/B.Tech. That means, those who successfully complete AMIE will get equal opportunities for job as well as higher education, just like a B.E or B.Tech holder. The Institution of Engineers (India), the largest multidisciplinary body of engineers in the country is the body that prepares syllabus, conducts examination and issue certificates etc. of AMIE.

In short you become member of IE(Institution of Engineers) India and start reading books for syllabus given by them then appear for tests they conduct every year June,December. You just have to clear few subjects in 10-12 years time and you will become equivalent to B.E/B.tech sitting at home or parallely working with some company as you do not have to attend colleges.

This course is especially suitable for employed person, as they can study this course without being interfering their job, whether they are in India or abroad .

Who Can Study AMIE ?

His/her age shall be 18 years or above

Those who wish to do AMIE must passes any one of the following qualifications.

1. He /she shall have passed 3 year diploma in branch of engineering/technology
   or equivalent diploma / certificate like Polytechnic.
   (No marks restriction)

OR

2. +2/HSC/PDC with Physics, Chemistry& Maths with minimum 45% marks.

If you possess any qualification equivalent to the above, still then you are eligible to apply for AMIE.

Those who pursue AMIE after their Diploma course are usually known as Diploma Stream Students, and others are known as Non-Diploma Stream Students

SYLLABUS OF AMIE :

The syllabus of AMIE is more or less similar to B.E/B.Tech. But the number of subjects in AMIE is very less. The AMIE syllabus has two parts:- Section A and Section B (similar to First year , Second year etc. of any formal degree course). Those who join for AMIE should first study Section A subjects, and after passing Section B he should study Section B. In Section A we study some subjects which are fundamental to engineering. In section B, we make specialized study in our chosen branch of engineering. When a student clears all subjects in both sections A and B. he is said to have passed A.M.I.E examination and becomes a graduate engineer.

Based on ones qualification, the number of subjects that a student studies in Section A varies. A diploma holder need to study only 4 subjects in Section A, while a non-diploma/+2 holder studies 10 subjects in Section A.

Following are the subjects in Section A

1. Fundamentals of Design and Manufacturing

2. Material Science and Engineering

3. Computing and Informatics

4. Society and Environment

5. Mechanical science

6. Engineering Physics and Chemistry

7. Engineering Drawing and Graphics

8. Electronics and Instrumentation

9. Engineering Mathematics

10. Electrical Science.

On completion of section A, a student takes admission to Section B. In section B, student is asked to select a branch of engineering. Following are the engineering branches available.

1. Electronics and communication Engineering

2. Electrical Engineering

3. Computer Science and Engineering

4. Civil Engineering

5. Mechanical Engineering

6. Production Engineering

7. Chemical Engineering

8. Materials and Metallurgical Engineering

9. Mining Engineering

10. Production Engineering

11. Textile Engineering

12. Architectural Engineering.

Of the above engineering branches available, a student can choose ANY branch as he wishes, without any criteria. This is one of the attractions of AMIE. For example, a student studied Automobile engineering in Diploma level can choose Computer Science or Electronics etc in AMIE !!!!

Both Diploma and Non-diploma holders should study 9 subjects in Section B. In order to impart practical knowledge, the Institution of Engineers has included project work and lab experiments as part of section B syllabus.

In short, a +2 holder can complete AMIE by clearing just 10 + 9 = 19 subjects, whereas for a diploma holder, the total subject is 4 + 9 = 13 only.

The project work may be done in the same firm/company where the student is presently engaged in. For carrying out laboratory experiment, the Institution of Engineers will contact the authorities of some engineering college/similar technical institution nearest to the location of the student and make necessary arrangement. For this, a nominal fee of Rs 1000/- will be charged from the student.

DURATION of AMIE :

The attraction of AMIE is its flexibility in completion time. Apart from conventional courses, the AMIE doesn’t have a fixed ‘completion time’. Normally 6 years are available for clearing Section A subjects and another 6 years for completing Section B.

HOW TO JOIN AMIE :

For appearing AMIE examinations, one should get membership with Institution of Engineers. In order to get membership you should apply in the prescribed application form. Application form for membership registration can be had directly from any of the local centers of Institution of Engineers at a cost of 100/-.

Make Money from Twitter

I just want to share my expereince with a new concept i had found on Internet World.

How to start :
--------------

To start earning money you need to have twitter account.
If not go to this url for signup : https://twitter.com/signup.

Once that is done next register your self with TwtAd
using this url : http://twtad.com/?id=777

How TwtAd works :
----------------------

During registration they will ask you two things :

a) Your twitter account username and password
b) Paypal email id So if you have already paypal account then you can give that one otherwise
register yourself as individual on Paypal using this URL : http://tiny.cc/iTMIa. At paypal if you
want to give you account details or not its upto you. I had skipped that till i was about to
receive money from TwtAd.


After registration with TwtAd you can select ADS to be posted on your twitter account.
At first time i had selected 3 Ads which is max allowed in a day. Because of that my account was suspended by twitter considering as spamming. So be careful try with only one AD in start.

Once you select your AD then TwtAd guys will use paypal apis and will post tweet in your
account with URL mentioned for AD in it. If someody clicks it you will earn from it.
So in this way more clicks more earnings in your TwtAd account.

Each Ad has price with it for eample 0.1$, 0.7$, 0.8$...so choose max price AD.

You can withdraw amount from TwtAd only when it will reach to 20$ minimum balance.

One of the cool things is, you can have as many Twitter profiles as you want and post the ads on each one from the same TwtAd account.

Also TwtAd has a pretty referral concept as well - for each referral, you will receive 20% of their earnings for life.

So a simple, easy and fun way to earn money...

Enjoy....

An easy way to repay your home loan

Though it is advisable to increase your equated monthly installment to reduce your home loan tenure and help you repay your loan faster, you still need to keep it at comfortably manageable levels to be on the safer side.

Why is this the case you may wonder. A valid argument for you is, I would rather save on the huge interest cost by managing to pay a higher EMI, rather than pay a lesser EMI and face a long loan tenure.

There is a solution to get the best out of both the situations. The solution is to prepay.

You need not worry about the long tenure as you can prepay the amount that is around 3-4 times your EMI periodically like once a quarter or when your year end bonus comes through.

This will effectively help you manage your loan and consistently bring down the outstanding loan amount, as it will directly reduce the principal you owe the bank. Here the only thing you need to take into account is the prepayment fee, which some banks levy if your prepayment exceeds beyond a particular amount.

This could be anywhere between 1 per cent and 3 per cent of your outstanding loan amount. In this case, a handy strategy is to prepay within the limits specified by the bank periodically, which will significantly reduce your outstanding debt and help you close the loan early.

On the other hand, you can still consider prepaying in bulk if you wish to do so, in spite of the prepayment fee if the interest saved is significantly higher.

Here are some reasons that indicate why you should adopt this strategy.

a. Ideally banks offer loan amounts up to a limit of around 50 per cent of your income. This does not mean you should utilise the entire limit available.

Keeping EMI repayments within 30-40 per cent of your budget will help you save nearly 30-50 per cent of your income.

Money management experts recommend that you should try and save up to 60 per cent of your income to help you have enough funds to access, when in need. Though a home is an investment by itself in terms of a fixed asset, you would still need funds that can be liquidated at will, especially if you are a first time home buyer.

The right kind of investments will help you reap rich rewards long term and by saving in spite of EMI repayments will ensure that you start early to save more.

b. A long term loan like a home loan is a debt that is part of your budget every month. If you invest too much into it, there might not be adequate funds to manage a huge list of other expenses that will tend to accumulate with time. For example, you need to make allowances for future expenses like children's education, emergency funds for a job loss or the loss of one income in a situation where two people have taken a joint loan.

c. There might be spikes in interest rates. In such a scenario usually banks will increase the loan tenure in order not to put the borrower in a tight spot by increasing his EMI. In such a scenario if you can manage a slightly higher EMI you can request the bank to adjust the EMI, instead of extending your loan tenure.

d. On the positive side, when your income graph soars with time, as it is bound to under normal circumstances where promotions and job changes take place, you can always choose the prepayment route. It is best not to commit a higher sum that will burn a hole in your pocket, rather it should be the other way around where you can actually control the repayment pattern of your home loan.

e. A home loan may not be the only debt you incur. You might end up taking an education loan for your children or a personal loan for some other purpose. Your debt liability will be taken into account before banks sanction such loans. At such a juncture you will be in a position to leave enough room for one more loan, if need be. This could enable you to invest in a second home also in the long run.

f. Last but not the least, it is very easy to be stressed if some unexpected situation upsets the apple cart. You should have contingency plans in place to avoid your finances toppling like a house of cards leading to undue stress. Your life is something to be enjoyed and cherished, so don't entangle yourself in a web of debt and spoil the fun.

JMS : Java Messaging Service : HelloWorld / Sample Program!!

Recently i had learnt JMS and personally i have to do lot of google to write simple Hello World program. With all my learnings i want to save time of others who want to use JMS.

Basics :

You can read What is JMS ? Artchitecture of JMS ? from any site, some references :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Message_Service
Also can refer Tutorial pdf in zip JMSHelloWorld.zip


Hope after some reading u are familar with terms of JMS. Let me summarize.
Basically core of JMS is Queues and Topics. I will stick to just queues.
For Queue we have Sender, Receiver who push and pop messages from it.
Overall we will register queue with unique name at JMS server(through command).
Then in our java code we will create ONE sender to send messages in queue AND
ONE receiver which will receive messages from Queue.

We will need one third party JMS Provider(mq: Open Message Queue) which will allow us to register Queues and that will provide us one JMS broker with whom we will connect. JMS Broker will take care of routing messages between queue. JMS broker will maintain messages either on file system or JDBC.

Softwares required :

I have JDK 1.5 installed on my PC and i had downloaded standalone Open Message Queue 4.3 from sun site. https://mq.dev.java.net/

Otherwise u can also download j2eesdk1.4 which is Sun Application Server
and it has same message queue as one component.

Now installing these software is easy just doing next next wizard. I had installed Open Message Queue at D:\software\Sun\MessageQueue.

U will need jms.jar(download from sun site) and imq.jar(after installation of MQ find from there) for Java development. These jars are also part of JMSHelloWorld.zip.

How to use Open Message Queue(MQ) :

For reference and install guide check one of PDF in JMSHelloWorld.zip. After installing we will need to learn few command line utilites of it i.e D:\software\Sun\MessageQueue\mq\bin.

Basically it has imqbrokerd.exe which is JMS Broker mind it. This has to be always RUNNING.
This is default broker which MQ provides and we will use same in our sample program.
So this broker listens on TCP port 7676. So identity of broker is localhost:7676.

Let us register queues in this broker :

Create one file pass.txt with content as :
imq.imqcmd.password=admin

Run this command :

imqcmd create dst -u admin -passfile pass.txt -b localhost:7676 -t q -n TestQueue

Check help of these commands for details or if any error.

So till now we had started our JMS Provider imqbrokerd.exe AND through commands registered one queue TestQueue. Now let us write Java :

JMSSenderWithoutJNDI.java :

QueueConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new QueueConnectionFactory();
/*This line will by default will provide u connection to JMS broker running at ur local machine

if u have ur broker at remote PC then use
connectionFactory.setProperty(ConnectionConfiguration.imqAddressList, "pcnamexyz:7676");

if u have broker over Internet(on webserver) use
connectionFactory.setProperty(ConnectionConfiguration.imqAddressList, "http://domainxyz:8080/imqhttp/tunnel");
*/
QueueConnection conn = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();

QueueSession session = conn.createQueueSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
/* NOTE : in same session do not create sender and receiver of same queue
*/
Queue queue = new Queue("TestQueue"); // other way is session.createQueue("TestQueue")

QueueSender sender = session.createSender(queue);

TextMessage textMessage = session.createTextMessage();

textMessage.setText("hello world");

sender.send(textMessage);
It is very simple to understand. We got connectionfactory and then created connection to JMS broker and then created one session and on session u can create sender, receiver. On sender
simple use send method.

JMSReceiverWithoutJNDI.java :

QueueConnection conn = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();

QueueConnection conn = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();

QueueSession session = conn.createQueueSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

Queue queue = new Queue("TestQueue");
QueueReceiver receiver = session.createReceiver(queue);

conn.start(); // VERY critical step otherwise wont receive message

while(true) {
Message message = receiver.receive();
if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
TextMessage msg = (TextMessage) message;
System.out.println("Reading message: " + msg.getText());
} else {
// Means end of messages
break;
}
}

So our sample program is ready for run. Run sender and then run Receiver and see u got message printed at receiver or not. If yes then say thanks to me, if no try to resolve errors
or contact me on yahoo messenger for that go to link on right hand side.

Download JMSHelloWorld.zip which has sample programs, pdf tutorials, jars for reference.


Key Points for a decision whether to use JMS or not :

1. OpenMessageQueue supports peristence storage of queue messages means even if u restart
PC, messages will remain persisted. By default it uses File System to store messages at example
location : D:\software\Sun\MessageQueue\var\mq\instances\imqbroker\fs370.
U can also configure JDBC to store messages of queue.

2. OpenMessageQueue supports sending messages to a queue on local machine, remote machine or through internet. For internet/http they provide one war file imqhttp.war which needs to be deployed in Web Server(like Tomcat) and url of that can be used to send messages in Queue over internet. See pdf tutorials in zip for details.
