Defining the soul mate relationship as opposed to any other kind of relationship is not so hard once you understand what soul mates are all about. So few people really know how to go about doing this, but it’s not as difficult as it seems.

I had a client not too long ago tell me that she had been with a man for a long time and that she was positive she was totally in love with him—and not lust love—and that she didn’t know how to tell if he was her soul mate and if he felt the same. She wanted to know how she could tell, which is one of the more common questions I hear.

“I’m in love, but is it the real thing?”

The real thing. Just what is the real thing and how can you tell?

First of all, if you are in love with someone, he/she is your soul mate, but just as there are varying degrees of love, there are varying kinds of soul mates. It sounded to me like in this woman’s case, it was the companion soul mate to whom she was referring.

All companion soul mates, unless they choose not to for various reasons, involve intimacy on different levels. The other two kinds of soul mates—karmic soul mates and twin souls—rarely involve sexual relations. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

As with all companion soul mates, these people come into your life for a particular reason. Is it for marriage? Is it to produce offspring?

Only you can determine that as the relationship gets further along, but one thing is for sure: he or she is meant to be a part of your life. No two soul mates come together without a purpose. That is how you can differentiate acquaintances you meet in your daily life from people with whom you share a soul mate bond.

If you are in love, you are in love. You feel it, it makes you happy and fulfilled and you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. A natural thing to happen to two people who are soul mates.

However, if further down the road, the two soul mates should part because of differences, that soul mate was still meant to come into your life.

When two people come together as soul mates, there is a purpose for them to do so; but when that purpose has been realized as well as finalized, the two may part but that is not because they weren’t meant to be a part of each other’s lives.

It is because their mission together on earth has been accomplished.

When this happens, the two begin to feel as if they are drifting apart and they have no idea what is going on. Their inner self is trying to tell them that there are other soul mates out there that they need in their life in order to be complete.

Yes, it may be sad for one or even both partners, but this is the nature of things, especially if you are just starting out in life.

You need to go through necessary steps in order to be complete and it may take one, or it may take several, soul mates to help you with this, but every last one of them that comes into your life are important, and necessary.

My advice is to: live, love, learn. Live to your highest expectations, love like there is no tomorrow and learn what each soul mate that enters into your life is meant to teach you about life, about yourself, and about why the two of you were brought together in the first place.

Once we learn to do this, we are that much closer to finding our higher self and on the road toward a productive and happy life.

The Nokia outfit is a worldwide telecoms corporation, engaged on the key advancing fields of wired & wireless telecommunications. Nokia is today the planet’s largest maker of mobile telephones, with a universal hand set market share of almost 38%. Nokia creates cellular phones for each sizable market segment & protocol. The company moreover creates telecoms network equipment for applications such as mobile & fixed-line voice telephony, ISDN, broadband access, voice over internet protocol & wireless LAN.

Nokia plays an inordinately ample role in the economy of Finland. Nokia is indubitably the greatest Finnish company, comprising around 1/3 of the market capitalization of the Helsinki Stock; an unusual status in a first-world country. It is an important Finnish employer and a few spin-off businesses have matured into ample businesses as Nokia’s subcontractors.

Nokia expanded the Gross Domestic Product of Finland in excess of one and a half per cent in ninety nine alone. In 04 the Nokia share of the the Gross Domestic Product of Finland was 3.5 per cent and accounted for just about 25 percent of Finnish exports in 2003. In 2007, Nokia created turn over that out stripped the state budget of Finland. This has led some to refer to Finland as “Nokialand.”

The people of Finland have named Nokia many times as the best Finnish brand and employer. Nokia is the 5 th most valuable brand in the world in BusinessWeek’s Best Global Brands list of the 20 most admirable firms world wide in Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies.

Nokia’s mobile phones sector serves the general public with mobile voice and data products around a huge assortment of mobile devices. The sector endeavours to home in on overall large volume type sales of mobile phones and devices, with people being the most decisive customer segment.

Nokia reckons that price, design, brand, and ease of use are mainstream mobile telephones’ most important contemplations for customers. Nokia’s product portfolio includes camera mobiles with features, for example, mega-pixel cameras and MP3 players that please the mass market.

During the 1st quarter of ‘07 it sold over 15000000 mp3 mobile phones, which means it is not only the earth’s foremost supplier of cellular phones and digital cameras (as the majority of Nokia’s mobiles have digital cameras, it is also thought that it has recently beaten Kodak in camera fabrication, making it the biggest in the world), it is presently also the foremost supplier of digital audio. It aspires to sell 80000000 music enabled phones by the end of 2007, overtaking sales of devices such as the iPod from Apple.

Who do you know that reflects a “Magnificent Self?” We all know
someone. Oprah is a prime example of someone who embraces her
Magnificent Self. She uses her passions and multitude of
resources to motivate and inspire others. She shines her light
brightly into places of darkness to wake-up the world, call
together other bright lights and beckon us all into oneness. It
is important to know that we each have a Magnificent Self
waiting to be expressed and shared with the world. It is a Self
that comes from within. You can’t stand in the bright light of
another Magnificent Self and become Magnificent, it doesn’t work
that way. People of Magnificence ask you to cultivate and
develop the qualities of greatness within so that you can become
your own Magnificent Self!

Where do you begin? Here are just a few qualities that define a
Magnificent Self:

1. Take 100% responsibility for yourself and your actions: You
are 100% responsible for your perceptions, reactions and your
responses to life. You are 100% responsible for how you
experience the events of your life. When you are willing to take
full responsibility for life, you no longer blame or accuse
others for things not working in your life. You are empowered to
make apologies, clear up misspoken conversations and make amends
quickly. You commit your energy to bringing life together in a
healthy, loving flow.

2. Live in the Spirit of Abundance Being in the flow of
abundance is key to knowing there is always enough. “Enough” is
measured in terms of ideas, creativity, time, money,
opportunities, and of course love. Letting go of a belief in
“lack” or “not enough” is paramount to being a Magnificent Self.
It also supports you in letting go of having the desire to
compete or have more. As you claim your plenty, you are able to
take all you need and give back more knowing there is always
enough.

3. Gratitude is a Magic Key Living with an “attitude of
gratitude” gives you an open perspective of life. Gratitude
keeps the energy of life flowing. Gratitude is the key that
helps you breathe in life more fully and allow its experiences
to expand both your inner self and your vision of possibilities.

4. Know the Divine Paradox of Life Understanding this concept
plays a tremendous role in how you navigate life’s speed bumps.
Situations that appear to “get in your way” are the very
experiences you need to “overcome” in order to get where you are
going. The journey to expressing your Magnificent Self happens
one-step-at-a-time. When you become sidetracked, discouraged or
stuck and begin to spin your wheels, step back and be 100%
responsible for your perception. As you change the energy of the
little things that “get in your way,” you are actually taking
the next step forward.

5. Live by a Higher Wisdom Living by a higher wisdom lets you
know you are an intricate part of life’s complex puzzle. When
you connect to your higher wisdom, you are linked to your
Magnificent Self. Living in this consciousness supports you in
thinking “outside the box” and in creating habits that support
life, not take it away.

6. Your Life is Your Message Knowing that entire your life’s
purpose is to deliver a message, you are committed to giving
your Magnificent Self back to the world as a gift. Your life has
a higher purpose and meaning. You are authentic. You walk your
talk. You practice what you preach and you know you are making a
difference in the world; shining your light on others so they
too have the opportunity to experience living as their
Magnificent Self!

Take a moment and remember, you cannot be an audience member to
become your magnificent self. Being on Oprah or simply listening
to her messages isn’t the answer. Thinking like Oprah is. You
must be a participant in your own life’s story, deliver your own
messages and generate your own light. Only then can you truly
reflect your Magnificent Self.

Photographs are a way of preserving a moment in our lives for the rest of our lives. Many of us have at least been tempted at the flashy array of photo printers which seemingly leap off the shelves at even the least tech-savvy. It surely seems old fashioned to talk about 35mm film and non-digital cameras in today’s day and age. To our children, cameras not so feature rich with LCD screens and built in Wi-Fi is as foreign as Atari. However, the innovation of home photo printing is bringing about a new way of preserving our most precious memories. Not only do we have digital copies to keep with us for the rest of our days across hundreds of different archives, thanks to printer manufacturers such as Epson, Hewlett Packard, and Canon, we now have the ability to fill our photo albums, right from the comfort of our living rooms.

Whether it is Hewlett Packard with the award winning Photosmart 8250, Canon, with the sleek and stylish Selphy DS810, or Epson’s PictureMate Express Edition, it seems everyone wants a slice of the home photo printing pie. Behind the looks, style, and hype of these printers are the facts. For example, Hewlett Packard’s Photosmart 8250 has become a legend in its own right for its amazing ability to print a 4” x 6” photograph in only 14 seconds. The Canon Selphy falls far short of Hewlett Packard’s mark, ringing in at 63 seconds for a 4” x 6” print. Falling even farther behind the pack is the Epson PictureMate Express Edition, although stylish, and easy to carry with convenient handle, there is nothing so convenient about having to wait a whopping 1 minute and 20 seconds to get a single 4” x 6” print.

The Canon and Epson models don’t fall completely short of Hewlett Packard’s newest pride and joy, however. Both the Canon Selphy DS810 and Epson’s PictureMate Express Edition trounce the Hewlett Packard in portability. The Selphy 810 is the smallest form factor, measuring in at only 8.7″ (W) x 3.9″(H) x 8.7″ (D). The PictureMate Express Edition is portable enough to be designed with a sleek handle to care with while taking those long road trips or a simple picnic in the park. For added portability, the PictureMate Express Edition even has a car adapter so the printer can be used virtually anywhere. These features veritably slaughter Hewlett Packard’s Photosmart 8250 where portability is an issue.

All ringing in around the same price, (Hewlett Packard Photosmart 8250 $179.99 MSRP, Canon Selphy DS810 $149.99 MSRP, and Epson PictureMate Express Edition $149.99) Hewlett Packard’s leadership and innovation in the field has brought them to the top of the list. Having won several awards over the span of many years, including an Editor’s Choice award in PC Magazine for the Photosmart 8250 model, Hewlett Packard seems to be the name to beat and the way to go for any photographic entrepreneur who wants the most bang for his or her buck.

Life usually seems to me to be a series of Rorschach tests. We each interpret events and patterns through the filter of our personal history, and no two people experience the same stimulus in the exact same way.

RFID means “cutting-edge technology” to one and “the end of personal freedom” to another. “Big Brother” to one and “transportation efficiency” to another. “Professional development opportunity” to an RFID software engineer and “layoff” to a no-longer-necessary inventory clerk.

But now and then the ink blot is so obvious that it transcends individual interpretation. Or in the case of Canadian technology firm Creo, it is the absence of the ink blot that is so clear.

Creo has developed Traceless technology, an RFID tagging system which is described on their website as “visually and chemically undetectable, even by forensic trace methods”.

On the same website, Creo details potential applications for Traceless as “Traceless taggant can be applied to the surface of articles during manufacturing. Or, more commonly, it can be mixed in paper or ink during the production of packaging, envelopes, and labels.”

What?!

Do you want visually and chemically undetectable track-and-trace technology mixed into paper or ink during production? Paper and ink… that’s magazines, personal letterhead, business cards, maps, loan applications, medical information forms, social security cards, coupons, prescriptions… U.S. currency. (Ironically, even Rorschach tests.)

Before you write and tell me that I’m overreacting, integrate the fact that Creo has already signed an agreement with label manufacturer Acucote to incorporate Traceless technology into Acucote labels. This is not a boardroom Development Objective, folks. This is a stealth tracking reality.

EPCglobal’s Guidelines on EPC for Consumer Products establish the need for Consumer Notice and Consumer Choice. The guidelines are published on the EPCglobal website, and include:

1. Consumer Notice

Consumers will be given clear notice of the presence of EPC on products or their packaging. This notice will be given through the use of an EPC logo or identifier on the products or packaging.

2. Consumer Choice

Consumers will be informed of the choices that are available to discard or remove or in the future disable EPC tags from the products they acquire.”

By design, Creo’s Traceless taggant clearly circumvents both consumer notice and consumer choice.

I appreciate our general need for increased security and anti-counterfeiting measures. I am as concerned about the purity of my prescription and the safety of this country as any other reasonable person is. I have consistently supported the strengths of RFID technology in appropriate applications, and I will continue to do so.

But I can not interpret this particular picture with anything but alarm.

Plain, “old-fashioned” RFID tags — visible and detectable — offer a more sophisticated level of security than we have ever had before. They are unobtrusive, customizable, incorruptible and virtually impossible to counterfeit.

Creo’s Traceless powder is not only unnerving and completely unnecessary, it is decidely counterproductive.

The nature of RFID technology inevitably raises public and personal sensitivity. In order for the collective “us” to gain from RFID, we must be partners in pursuit of transparent truth.

No matter how you look at it, transparent tags and transparent truth are mutually exclusive.

As broadband Internet becomes more mainstream, one of the most common questions we get is: which is better, cable or dsl?

The answer to that question is not so definite. Many factors come into play when deciding which high-speed connection to choose. Regardless of which you choose (DSL, Cable, or even Satellite) it’s going to be a ton better (and faster) than that ancient dialup modem you’ve been using. Not to mention, your Internet experience will be much more enjoyable.

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)

Just like your existing dialup modem, DSL uses your existing copper wire phone line to deliver data at high speed. To qualify for DSL, you need the following:

- a phone line

- a DSL modem (which normally comes with the service)

- an Ethernet card or an available USB port ( most DSL modems allow both connections, but Ethernet is recommended).

- a phone company (ISP) that is offering DSL service (e.g., Verizon)

One important factor that will influence your DSL connection is the distance between your home or office and the phone company’s central office. The farther away you are from the central office, the signal becomes weaker, thus a slower connection. With that said, DSL is not as available widespread compared to cable. You’ll need to contact your local phone provider to check availability.

Speed wise, depending on the package you choose, DSL can range from 128 kbps to 3 Mbps. Generally, the faster your connection the more expensive your service will be. You can expect to pay around $25-$30 a month for a 768 kbps connection, which is roughly 13 times faster than a 56k dialup modem.

::Pros::
- Relatively cheaper than cable
- Dedicated line, so speeds are almost guaranteed
- You can talk on the phone at the same time while surfing the net

::Cons::
- Slower speeds compared to cable
- Speeds drop the farther away your home/office is from the central office
- Not available in all areas

Cable Internet

Cable Internet gets our recommendation. Cable, which you can probably already tell, uses the coaxial cable that your television uses. To qualify for cable internet, you need the following:

- a cable modem ( which normally comes with the service)

- an Ethernet card or an available USB port (most cable modems allow both connections, but Ethernet is recommended)

- a cable company offering cable Internet (e.g., Adelphia)

Unlike DSL, cable Internet does not depend on the distance between your home or office and the central office. However, unlike DSL, cable connections are typically shared among your neighbors. Although, most cable companies provide pipelines with huge bandwidth that this rarely becomes an issue.

Speed wise, cable Internet typically ranges from 3 Mbps to 10 Mbps, up to 3-4 times faster than DSL. However, expect to pay more for the service - $40-$50 per month.

::Pros::
- Faster speeds than DSL
- More widespread than DSL
- Distance does not affect speed

::Cons::
- More expensive than DSL
- Line is shared with other users


With all that said, you need to think about what type of user you are. If you are a heavy Internet user and downloader, you would highly benefit from a broadband connection. For the light users who use the Internet just to check emails, are probably better off with a dialup. However, if you are willing to splurge some cash on a broadband connection, then by all means, upgrade!

I run a blog where I discuss the topic of the many games people
play in the dating arena. I’ve posted hundreds of articles, many
of which point out many of these troubles. Even if you haven’t
read the blog, you probably are aware of some of these schemes.
While I wish it were easy to sum everything up into one neat,
overlying problem, it’s not that simple. Let me point out just a
few of the issues.

For one, there’s a definite lack of respect in dating nowadays.
People don’t even care about their partners enough to treat them
as they deserve to be treated. Gossip, ridiculously high
expectations, and rejections by ignorance are only some of the
examples in this area. Grandparents are always carrying on about
how today’s generation has such a lack of respect. They talk
about how, in their day, people cared about others and banded
together through difficult problems. Why do they talk about
these things? Because they’re right! Through every activity in
which I’ve been involved, I’ve encountered this problem. I’m
tired of working for a hundred hours on a video project when the
president of the organization receives but doesn’t bother to
even reply to your E-Mails asking him to review it. I’m sick of
being ostracized from groups because I don’t care to participate
in their petty disagreements. And I’m exhausted after people
expect me to work to death in volunteer organizations!

There are always exceptions to this rule, and I’m sure that
there are many people who do have a great deal of respect for
both their peers and their elders. Unfortunately, the majority,
or at least the majority with the most influence, simply don’t
care.

Second, nobody is honest with themselves, let alone anyone else.
Dating has turned into a torrent of backstabbing of which even
Mark Burnett would be proud. Asking someone out is nearly
impossible, because the gossip about it has already spread to a
thousand people before you make the move. Then, when a rejection
occurs (even if it’s not rude), the rejector spreads rumors
around to all his/her friends that cause them to completely
ignore you, refusing to invite you to parties or even to
initiate conversations with you. The biggest insult is that even
if you asked point-blank, you’d still never get a truthful
answer as to why such harm was directed towards you.

As if what occurs after a rejection isn’t enough, people attempt
to steal others’ girl/boyfriends. One day, things are going
well, and the next you find yourself wondering what happened to
the relationship that was forming - that is, until you notice
that person spending a lot of time with who you thought was your
best friend. No explanation is offered, not even a “good-bye.”

Third, people are not looking for someone who spends his or her
time working to get ahead instead of getting flat-out drunk, who
doesn’t curse at or ignore his or her mate, and who actually
makes time for whatever is occurring between them (whether it be
a full-fledged relationship or just plain sex). They say they’re
looking for these things, but in reality, they’re attracted to
people with the attributes described above. “Confidence” is not
the answer to the equation. Assuming they both possess the same
level of “confidence,” the above-described person would win
every time over the “warm, caring, and intelligent” (wo)man that
people claim is the ideal mate.

The list of problems goes on. You might be intrigued to hear
that while the problems seem innumerable, I propose they can all
be rectified with the simplest of solutions. There’s no danger
involved, nobody has to lead radical changes, and it doesn’t
involve an “impossible” fight against biology.

I simply propose for men to stop asking women out.

Not for the rest of your life, but for just a short time, say, a
month. It’s not impossible, and you won’t have to do it as much
after the month passes. While there are a few (rare) exceptions,
the vast majority of women don’t ask out men 50% of the time.
Women do have the advantage in dating, and it’s time to level
the playing field. Sure, talk with women as friends, and if
someone initiates a conversation with you, then definitely
reciprocate. However, let the woman ask you out if she’s
interested, no matter how attractive she is to you.

Some women have never asked anyone out in their lives. It’s no
wonder why these women continually treat men like they’re lower
beings. If they had to put up with the rejections that most men
do all the time, I guarantee that they would have more respect
for men. Women would no longer put up with moving from guy to
guy based on who was interested in her at the moment. And
spreading gossip about potential romantic interests certainly
isn’t going to help one’s prospects.

People need to realize that humans, for all their ancestry, are
not monkeys or horses or rabbits. They’re humans, who can think
and act for themselves.

Men have so much more capacity in the dating arena than
constantly looking for sex at all costs, if they would only
exercise it. It’s time to stop being prisoners to so-called
“biology.” Women have the same urges men do, and they should do
half the work, not 10% or 20%.

There are a lot of “seduction communities” on the Internet that
teach men how to “seduce” women. I don’t know of any similar
organization that teaches women how to impress men with the same
fervor.

There’s my proposal. I don’t think it’s hard to implement.
Imagine if all the men even at one corporation or university
decided to ban together. Laziness won’t be a problem,
becausenobody even has to do anything. It’s time to change our
distorted culture. All I’m suggesting is to promote equality. Is
that such a bad thing?

With the Internet entering our lives in such an explosive manner, it was inevitable that Internet security issues would follow as well. While credit card frauds are an offline security problem that has been carried over to the Internet as well, spamming and phishing are uniquely Internet security hazards.

Spammers are an Internet phenomenon that have been given great encouragement by the distribution of free scripts. Free scripts and free downloadable software are one of the greatest attractions of the web. Unfortunately, they are also one of the biggest security risks the Internet offers.

Spammers use free scripts to their advantage very ingenuously. Refer-a-Friend scripts are a great asset on any site. They allow visitors to recommend a site to their friends. And, by simply a Refer-a-Friend script, a Webmaster can increase traffic on his website at zero cost!

Unfortunately, Refer-a-Friend scripts that don’t have built-in security features are a popular tool with spammers as well. When your site visitor enters friends’ e-mails, the insecure Refer-a-Friend scripts capture those e-mails and collates them into a Spam database.

The spammers then use the e-mails to create illegal lists and sell them for a profit or send large quantities of Spam. This can result in major damage for your website from loss of consumer loyalty and trust to deactivation of your e-mail privileges by your hosting company to even disbarment from your web server.

It thus becomes vital that any Refer-a-Friend script that you choose to install on your website must have a security feature. The scripts should limit how many people can be e-mailed at one time and how many e-mails can be sent within a limited period. It can also set a delay before the form can be used again. One of the most effective security features is to get visitors to enter a randomly generated visual code, which is not readable by Spam software. Forewarned is forearmed.

As home computers become more advanced, and our uses for them become more complex, the need for higher performance and capacity hard drives increases. It is now possible to choose hard drives with vastly different capacities and rotational speeds, making things more confusing for the consumer.

Thankfully for consumers the hard drive market is extremely competitive and the price at which a high capacity hard drive can be bought is quite astounding. Now that broadband internet is common place, with more and more people downloading music and movies, the need for high specification hard drives has never been greater.

When choosing a new hard drive it is important to consider What you use your computer for. Those who just use their home pc for basic requirements such as word processing and surfing the internet will not need to spend as much on their hard drive as someone who may use music applications or lots of games. When buying a hard drive also try and anticipate any future requirements also.

Lets consider the following hard drive specifications:

1)Capacity

2)Rotational speed

3)Buffer size and transfer rates

In terms of capacity, hard drives can range from 30 - 300 GB. 40 GB hard drives are fairly standard these days. If all you will be using your PC for is to run a few basic software applications and games then this will provide you with plenty of space. But as most people these days are generally also using their home computer to store lots of music, videos and photos, I would strongly recomend buying something between 60 - 120 GB capacity. With hard drives being relatively cheap these days it is better to buy something that will continue to provide storage in the future, than go for a smaller option now and have to upgrade sooner.

The second factor we really need to consider is the rotational speed of the hard drives. This has become a big selling point for manufacturers. The speed is measured in revolutions per minute and you will find figures such as 5400RPM, 7200RPM, 10000RPM, 15000RPM quoted by the hard drive manufacturers. Hard drives work by reading information from rotating magnetic platters as they rotate, hence the faster the rotating speed, the quicker the information is read. There is a down side to faster rotating speeds though, and that is wear and tear. The faster a hard drive spins the quicker it will wear out and it will also be more vulnerable to crashes. Rotational speed is really important, so if your going to be using your PC for music or gaming then you need to buy a 7200RPM drive. If its just for basic usage then a 5400RPM drive will suffice. Again as the price difference between 7200RPM and 540RPM drives is minimal, you may consider opting for the faster speed as this will not need upgrading as soon.

The buffer size and transfer rates will not be of importance to many people, and only need to be considerd by people building
dedicated games machines or for high end music applications. The buffer is used as a temporary store for data and the larger the buffer size the better your pc will operate. It is possible to buy hard drives with a buffer size of 8MB. Its best to buy a drive with as large a buffer as you can afford. The same is true for transfer rates, buy the drive with the highest transfer rate that you can afford.

This buyers guide should have covered all the points you need to consider when purchasing your new hard drive, but if you want more information then plenty is avaiable on the internet. For further information please visit our site.

There are a lot of hacking websites who are fooling you into this stuff. Yeah it is possible that Google may pick up some trashed passwords that never work. The passwords found are from some lame websites which don’t have any levels of security applied to the data. There are many other simple ways to hack such sites.

Google caching - The pages that are picked up by Google for caching are simple pages. Google spider can not even find what’s present inside dynamically placed content. The passwords are always stored in the database, which in no case can be crawled by Google spider. Google search engine always crawls through these cached pages to get the desired searched content. And every webmaster is aware how difficult it is to get a site crawled by Google or any other search engine. Even some innovative stuff used for the sites optimization can disrupt the crawling of your website. So there is no possibility that a crawler will enter the logs or database of a website and pick up the treasure of passwords.

These clever website publishers use such stuff to get more and more traffic. If they were so good in hacking why do they publish such stuff? Suppose, if I find such a stuff, why would I publish this stuff? And then get listed in Google. After looking at my stuff they will get alert and configure the search engine accordingly.

So please stop wasting time on such destructive ideas. Use your mind to construct something useful. Don’t let anybody use you for just earning good traffic.
