What is Investments, Wealth Management, Asset management and Capital trading

Prior to one understanding how Investments, Wealth Management, Asset management and Capital trading works, it is best that one understands what these terms mean. In business, investment is the action of funding a project with one’s own money or any type of loan with a sole purpose of acquiring either profit or material. Wealth management is putting together personal investment management, preparing disciplines and financial advisory for the main aim of increasing high-net-worth clients. On the hand, asset management is an organized process of establishing, utilizing, preserving, improving, and disposing of assets profitably. Finally, capital trading is the general amount a trader puts aside for trading.
There are countries that highly recognize and utilize these functions, these countries include the Unites States and Japan. Japan has a very strong and developed market compared to other countries, due to this fact, there are great benefits in one investing in Japan. Besides that, the property value and the mortgage rate are quite accommodating. For instance, a first-time investor cannot be put out of the property market because of the government initiatives. This means that one can acquire a 35-year mortgage loan at an interest of 1.5% for the first ten years and drops to 0.6% for the rest of the 25 remaining years.
Wealth management in Japan and the United States have always been carried out by wealth managers. This means that one may need to be contacted by a wealth manager for financial planning. Other than wealth managers banks such as the Nomura and Mizuho in japan offer the same services. Even though the wealth management industries are still in their early stages in japan the wealth managers are trying to reach out the market shares to the cash-rich japans. It is harder for a United States citizen to outsource wealth managers, this is because ones can still be subjected to the US. Tax conditions, even in when they reside out of the country.

LIVING WITH ARTHRITIS

IN by ON 06:26 No Comments

Arthritis

Arthritis, a word that originated from the Greek meaning joint inflammation. This is a disease that causes a joint disorder leading to inflammation of one or more joints. They are over 80 types of arthritis, but the most common one is Osteoarthritis. This type of arthritis has affected more than 17 million people in the United States and the rest of the world. This type of arthritis is known for breaking down cartilage that is in between the joints. Cartilages prevent bones from grinding together and when they are worn out the bones grind together so very painfully. The most affecting joint include the knee joint.

Symptoms of arthritis in knees

A Slow increase in pain in the knee are- arthritis in most cases occur suddenly, but sometimes develop slowly in your body. When it develops slowly you may start experiencing some unusual pain, mostly when you wake up in the morning, when you kneel, when climbing stairs or when you wake up from a sitting position. You may also start finding it hard to go for either short or long walks because of the discomfort you have in your knee.  

Swelling of the knee joint- when you start experiencing pains in your knee joint that means that the cartilages protecting the bones has started wearing out. After a while inflammation of the tissues will begin due to the development of bone spurs otherwise known as osteophytes this will cause swelling when you stay inactive for long periods of time.

Popping sounds from your knee joint- as I mentioned earlier arthritis wears out the cartilages connecting the bones. When these cartilages are totally damaged the bones will grind together and when walking you will experience a grinding sensational around your knee joint.

Awful range of motion- over a period of time the knee joints will be increasingly affected by arthritis, and it will make it hard for the joints to glide together properly. This will affect your movements, if you were moving swift and simple you will start using a cane to move.

Finally, knee deformities- as the days go by, you may start noticing some changes to your knee area. The knee will start pointing to each other because the muscles surrounding the knee will be weakened and become thin giving a sunken appearance to your knees.
 Arthritis knee exercises

The leg risen while lying- while lying flat on your back (it can be a bed or on the floor) put your arms aside and toes up. While keeping your legs straight, stiffen up your leg muscles and gradually lift your legs several inches making sure you have also tightened up your stomach muscles to help you push your lower back down. While counting to five keep raising your legs up and down slowly.

The hamstring stretch while lying down- just as before lie on your bed. Slowly lifting one leg be still bent, then bring your knee back toward your chest. Put your hands together behind your thigh and stiffen your leg. Start pulling your straight leg backing up toward your head up until you start feeling a stretch sensational. Hold for 40 to 60 seconds, then slowly bend back your leg back to the floor.


Walking- sometimes walking is the best exercise we can do. What makes it special is that it is not hard and strenuous like exercises. While walking you will not have the feeling that you are exercising so you won’t be in a rush to stop. This helps in blood circulation in the body works well when blood flows well and also it prevents swelling of the knee joint. This is recommended while experiencing symptoms of arthritis in the knees.

WHAT IS CAPITAL INVESTMENT?

IN by ON 06:13 No Comments

METHODS TO ACHIEVE CORPORATE GROWTH

Introduction
Capital investment is referred to as the financial resources invested in a business or firm with an aim of furthering its objectives. Capital can also be a business’ acquisition of fixed assets and capital assets which it expects to use to attain its objectives over a long period of time. In the modern business world, there are many sources of capital investment they include angel investors, equity investors, venture capital, financial institutions and banks. In most cases, investment capital is used to ensure long term survival of the business through acquiring long term assets. However, a part of capital investment can be used as working capital.
Due to the presence of vast sources of capital investment, companies have access to a huge amount of capital investment. However, whether or not the amount of capital acquired by a business will foster corporate growth depends on a number of aspects. While capital investment ensures that the business has adequate resources for growth. There are those issues that the relevant corporate leaders must keep in consideration in order to ensure that the financial resources are put to good use. Such aspects include accountability and making viable investment that will see to it that the company achieves its goals.
Capital investment and business failure
As stated earlier, capital investment refers to the resources that an entity put to use to ensure it attains its objectives. There are many ways in which businesses utilized capital investments. Whether or not the business will be successful depends on how company leaders put the resources to use. In this business environment, good companies get access to a huge amount of capital investment due to the presence of many investors willing to put their money to companies which have a future since it is expected that such companies will succeed. However, it is important to consider the fact that capital investment is a two way traffic concept where the company receives financial resources and how the company uses these resources to attain its goals. Therefore, whether or not the business will grow does not only depend on the financial resources available at the company’s disposal but also how the company utilizes those resources.
However, the corporate world has witnessed companies that had access to huge amounts of capital investment but still failed to meet its long term and short term maturing objectives due to poor resource management and accountability. Such organizations also failed to attain corporate growth due to lack of resources. Therefore, apart from ensuring that the company has capital investments, there are other aspects that have to be considered for the company to attain corporate growth. While stakeholders ensure that the company has access to all financial resources necessary or growth, they should also strive to ensure that the management is accountable and that it makes investments in line with the company’s objectives. Business failure can also result to lack of proper measures when it comes to measuring performance.
Decision making and capital investment
If there is something that will remain in play in the modern business world is change. The world keeps witnessing changes in technology, markets and products. Therefore, a company whose management is quick in adapting to such changes will be able to survive and attain competitive advantage. Ensuring that the company has a flexible annual budget is important in attaining success. This is because, the management does not know when there will be changes in the business world and having a rigid budget will make it hard for the business to adapt to such changes. The management should come with a budgeting system that accommodates certain changes in the market and financial environment. This will the company cope up with situations such as financial recessions and changes in market trends.
Therefore, when it comes to making capital investments such as acquitting assets and markets, the company must act fast and in line with prevailing conditions in the business world. This will see to it that the company seizes opportunities available before the competitor does. Competitive advantage is a very important aspect considering the nature of competition in the current business environment. Being in a good competitive position and proper capital investment plays an important role when it comes to ensuring corporate growth. Therefore, capital investment alone is not the proper ingredient when it comes to fostering corporate growth. There is also need to ensure that there is flexibility and speed in decision making.
It is also important to look at the concept of viable decisions. A company always has a wide range of investment alternatives. However, whether or not the company will profit of grow from a given investment always depends on the viability of the investment opportunity taken. It is important to make investments that are in line with the company’s capabilities and goals. Most businesses fail to grow due to poor investment decisions made by management. Therefore, even if the company has adequate financial resources to help it pursue its goals, it is always vital to make the right capital investment choice if indeed the company wishes to grow.

Corporate governance, capital investment and corporate growth


Corporate governance refers to the act of ensuring that everything being done at the company is done in line with set rules and regulations. Proper corporate governance also ensures that stakeholder needs are taken care of from time to time. It also ensures that the management does not benefit themselves at the expense of shareholders. Therefore, it is safe to say that proper corporate governance is essential when it comes to business success. This is because, it is through proper corporate governance that a company is able to operate according to the set rules and regulations hence attracting investors and other stakeholders. This increases the amount of capital that the company has access to from investor and lenders. This aspect contributes to company growth if the right investments are made by executive directors.

 

This ensures that the company has access to the required financial resources as a result of good reputation. Therefore, there is a relationship between corporate governance and the amount of capital investment that a company receives from investors and lenders. It is also through proper corporate governance that the company is able to ensure that investment from shareholders is put to good use hence ensuring company growth. Improper governance can result to misuse of such resources hence barring corporate growth development due to poor leadership. As it was the case with Enron. Corporate governance is also an important aspect when it comes to ensuring accountability at organizational level. Non-executive directors should be given full autonomy and ensure that executive directors work in line with company objectives.

 

Maximized return on capital

 

This is a very important aspect when it comes when it comes to ensuring that the business grows. Maximizing return on capital means the company has to put resources received from shareholders and other sources to use in order to make profits. As stated earlier, the amount of capital investment has increased in the modern business world both by the companies and investors. However, there are many aspects that have to be considered in order to ensure that the company gets return for capital therefore fostering growth and ensuring that shareholders get a profit for their investment.

 

The first aspect is accountability, financial managers and other executives are responsible for controlling resources received from lenders and shareholders. Accountability at corporate level can take many dimensions. First, the financial managers and the accounting team have to make sure that whatever they are reporting is right and reflect the true and fair position of the organization. Executive managers also have to ensure that the internal controls set up at the organization do not give room for fraud and errors. Another important aspect of accountability that has to be taken care of is to ensure that everything at the company is done as per the outlined guidelines both corporate and legal. 

 

Such measures in place do not only ensure that all amounts received from investors and lenders are accounted for but also ensure that all investments made by the company are accounted for. Apart from just looking at the way resources are utilized, it is also important to look at the return on investment. Therefore, when it comes to investments when by the company it is not important to look at the amount of capital invested but the returns realized on the invested capital. It is through the return on investment that stakeholders will be able to determine whether or not the company is performing well or not. Therefore, as apart from ensuring accountability in expenditure and reporting, investors and lenders should ensure that executives report on Returns on Investment each time they make a capital investment.  

 

It is very hard for those companies that do not report their returns on investment to succeed. This is because such information is important when it comes to corporate growth. It is essential for a business to know its current position so that it can determine measures to be taken to ensure success in the future. Therefore, accountability is all business aspects are important when it comes to utilizing capital investment and ensuring corporate growth. The success of the Organization greatly depends on the information available to stakeholders and executive directors on performance since it helps in making decisions that will take the company to the next level. Inadequate accountability and controls in presenting such information could greatly hinder corporate growth and can lead to failure. This was the case with Enron and New Century Corporation where wrong information on returns was presented to stakeholders due to lack of adequate controls to ensure accountability in reporting.

Conclusion
Capital investment is a very important aspect that contributes to corporate growth. Capital investment can take two dimensions. One, financial resources available to the business from shareholders and lenders that the business utilizes to help attain its goals and two, assets acquired by the business to help attain its long term goals. Such assets include manufacturing plants and vehicles used for delivery. Though it can be viewed that a company with a vast capital investment base is likely to grow, there are those aspects that executive directors, stakeholders and non executive directors have to consider in order to ensure corporate growth because capital alone is not enough. This is because; the corporate world has seen companies with huge capital investments fail due to one reason or another.

The organization has to ensure that there is adequate accountability in all operations. Other than the normal internal controls and reporting controls, the company has to ensure that directors report on return on investments. This is because this is the ultimate measure of performance and will help chant the direction forward for the company hence contributing to growth. On the other hand, the company has to ensure that adequate corporate governance controls are set up to ensure that the company follows all legal and corporate regulations. This is an important aspect when it comes to building accountability at company level. The management team also has to make sure that investment decisions are made quickly and in line with prevailing business and market conditions hence boosting competitive advantage which is a very important aspect of business growth. Competitive advantage, proper corporate governance, accountability and proper decision making alongside with adequate capital investment contribute to organizational growth.

EFFECTIVE WAYS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE CISSP EXAM.

IN by ON 15:18 No Comments

The (CISSP) certificate information systems security professional is a program handled by the international information systems security certification consortium. This is arguably one of the most recommended and widely accepted certificates in the field of information security. This certificate was chosen as a c.a.t point for demonstrating understanding and giving expertise in this world.
What makes this certification exam special is the fact that, it is one of the longest exam being done? Succeeding in this test requires more than just knowledge to answer the questions correctly. CISSP will need your, your physical and mental abilities to see you through the six-hour, two hundred and fifty questions paper-based exam. When preparing, you will need to put in all your efforts so as to pass the test.

How to prepare for the CISSP Exam.


Gaining some experience- the best way to obtain information and let it stick into your brains is by actual having some hands-on experience in the field. Working 2-4 years in this area will help you understand the basics. Not having the experience does not mean that you will not be ready for the exam; No! You will but when you have experience it will put you a bit higher, and you will be able to tackle the questions more comfortable and relaxed. It has been proven that many people learn and retain information easily when they do it instead of just reading about it.

Study in advance- the certificate information systems security professional test helps to indicate that you know more about different types of information on the safety topic. Experience alone will not be enough to make you successful; you will have to do more than just that. Advance reading will help you understand more information about the field. Like I said working and gaining experience will not be enough to see you through, this is because while working you will probably not focus on all the 10 essential bodies of knowledge that CISSP will test on. More reading and research will equip you with the relevant knowledge that you had left out while working.

Study guidelines- there are a couple of good books that one can use to prepare better for the CISSP exam. Setting your study guidelines will help you narrow down to your weak points. While reading, there are odds that we are bound to repeat what we had gone over and actually not touching on the relevant information. Setting up your guidelines we help you read faster, better and also help you cover many details without breaking a sweat.


Cool calm and collective- when approaching the paper, most of us tend to be worried and have doubts in our minds. That is is not healthy, doubt will lead to panic and panic will result in failure. Always be cool calm and collective.

COMPLETE GUIDE ON BUILDING A PC

IN by ON 02:09 1 Comment

Preparing the work station

Before beginning your build, clear a large clean working area, preferably devoid of era shag carpet and anything else that may induce a static charge. Gather a few q-tips, some rubbing alcohol, a fistful of zip ties and a Philips head screwdriver (the few screws you will encounter during the build will be relatively small, so it helps to have a screwdriver with a magnetic tip). Ground yourself before doing anything else, you can easily discharge any static by touching a large metal object like a filing cabinet, a frame of a desk or simply wearing an antistatic grounding bracelet. It is important to Note that: you need to ground yourself frequently if you are in a carpet room or wearing a static prone fabric like polyester because just moving around may be enough to generate a static charge.

Checking if your parts match.

Before you begin building you Pc, it is very vital to check if your parts match even though PC components are largely interchangeable you cannot combine just anything. Specific parts such as CPU’s coolers and motherboards are designed around specific sockets (like for this build we are going to us a motherboard with a 1366 CPU socket) beside that you need to make sure that the motherboard form factor matches the case. After making sure all parts match, you can begin building your PC.

Step 1: Installing the CPU.

Most people prefer installing first the motherboard into the case before installing the CPU and the memory, it is not wrong to do that but, the best and the easiest way is to first install the CPU onto the motherboard. This process is often recommended because you will have enough space and clearance to properly position you CPU in the CPU socket with ease.
Start by putting the motherboard on a flat inflated surface.
·         Ready the Socket by matching the metal lever away from the side and then swing it all way back.
·         Pick up the CPU by carefully pinching it between your thumbs and forefinger, (some CPUs contain pins underneath so be careful not to bend them).
·         Line up the CPU onto the socket, one corner of the CPU will have a small triangular marker, line it up with the corresponding mark on the socket and lower the CPU slowly into place.
·         When the CPU is correctly seated in its socket there will be no gap between the room in the package and the surface of the socket.
·         Gently swing the lever back to its original position tucked under the plastic tab on the side of the socket.

Step 2: Preparing the CPU and Installing the cooler.

 After you have carefully and correctly installed your CPU you need to prepare it before installing the cooler.

Preparing the CPU

Using the alcohol and q-tip mentioned earlier clean the CPU heat sink/spreader (this is the metal cap covering the processor). You can do this by dipping the q-tip in the alcohol and gently rub it on the heat processor spreader. This process is necessary because it removes any oil or dust residue on the heat spreader that can compromise the cooling process.

Installing the cooler.

The CPU cooler is ready to be installed.
·         The stock cooler bundled with the retail box CPU’s typically have a thermal interface material so you will not need a third party thermal interface.
·         Place the cooler on the CPU landing up the ends of the being with plastic tabs.
·         Hook the beam up to the tab starting with the side opposite the lever and the flip the lever don to lock the cooler onto the socket.
·         Ones the cooler is secure plug the fan into the corresponding header on the motherboard, use the three pin or the four pin header marked CPU near the socket. The motherboard manual will indicate its precise location.

Step 3: Installing the memory sticks (RAM)

Most desktop systems use dual channel memory for optimal performance, one DIMM per channel is required. Motherboards typically come with four slots or two per channel, if you are installing only two dims check the motherboard manual for guidance on which slots to use.
·         Before installing the memory make sure the plastic retention tabs at the end the DIMM slots are open. Check your motherboard carefully because some have retention tabs on one end of the dims.
·         Memory sticks are keyed to fit only one way, making the installation simple, line up the notch at the bottom edge of the memory module with the separator near the middle of the slots, then slide the module into place.
·         Apply even downward pressure on both sides at the top edge to the module to see that it is fully in the slot.
·         Sinking the memory should cause a retention taps to swing up but if they don’t push the tabs with your finger so they hook into the notches in the memory dims.

Step 4: Preparing the case

Every case is different but there are two but there are two predominately out to the world; PC towers traditional designs that put the power supply on top of the case and an upside down ones that do the opposite. The case comes with a couple of features that helps during the build plus actual peripherals to plugging along the way.
·         To get access of the interior part of the case you will have to remove the side panels and set them aside. Depending with the type of case you have you will need a screwdriver.
·         There are two panels the right and the left panel, the right panel provides access to the back of side of the motherboard tray (this side is mainly used to hide the cables) while the left panel provides the front side of the motherboard and exposes the main compartments.
·         Before installing the motherboard, you first need to install the i/o shield that comes with your motherboard. The i/o shield can be installed by pressing it into the rectangular cut-out next to the motherboard tray
·         Make sure the i/o shield is the right way around, there should be around half-dozen or so circular holes for the audio jack on the left side towards the expansion slot covers.

Step 5: Installing the motherboard.

Motherboard are always mounted into the tray using a series embrace posts that lineup with holes in the circuit board (check in your case to make sure the embrace posts are available, if your case doesn’t, screw in the post tightly by hand, they should be included in a bag with all the other screws.)
·         Make sure the case post-match the whole pattern to the motherboard otherwise they can short expose solder points and damage the system.
·         After you have prepped you case it's time you install your motherboard.
·         Lay the case on its side so the board can be lowered in to the tray. Depending on how much room there is the motherboard may need to be inserted at an angle but put the port side first.
·         Lineup the ports with the holes in the i/o shield and let the board rest on the posts. The board may need to be nudged towards the rear of the case to line up the screw holes.
·         At this point, a magnet tip screwdriver is recommended when guiding the tiny screws into the posts.
·         Tighten the screws on opposing corners first, this will keep the motherboard centered over the posts.
·         Circuit boards are more fragile than the cases metal panels, tighten the screws until they are snug but do not give them an extra twist after that.
·         After the motherboard is secured in the case start wiring the motherboard but before wiring the motherboard first install the hard drives, optical drive, and the power supply.

Step 6: Installing the hard drive.

Depending on the type of case you have, it should be easy to install a hard drive.
·         First, remove one of the sleds, simply stretch the walls away from each other and then place the hard drive between them, the metal knobs on the walls will line up with the screw holes on the side of the drive.
·         If you case does not have tool free sleds use the screw holes to affix the drive to the cage.
·         In cases with removable right panels try to point the drives connectors to the right side, there is where you will be hiding the cabling.
·         If you can’t get the right side of the cage orient the drives so that the connectors are accessible.

Step 7 installing the optical drive.

Optical drives haven’t gone away like the floppies just yet. Blu-ray and DVD drive slip and external 5.25-inch base, which typically have covers that need to be removed.
·         Before getting access to optical drive bay, you first have to remove the front dazzle.
·         With the front dazzle removed you can pop out the cover associated with the bay you want to use. Note: choose the bay that is easier to reach depending on whether your case you will place your PC.
·         Light up the dazzle plastic tabs before snapping it back into place.
·         Slide in the optical drive until its flush with the dazzle and the flip the tool-free latching mechanism to lock things in place
·         If you don’t have a tool free bay, secure the drive with screws. Optical drives have four screws holes per side use attest one at the front and back up each side at the drive

Step 8: wiring the motherboard.

For the cleanest layout run the cables along the right side of the case, behind the drive cage and the motherboard tray. Depending on the case, you should have enough routing holes to keep the cable hidden until they need to poke out to make the connection to the motherboard.
·         First start by tackling the front panel connectors, find the connectors labeled power sw, rest sw, power LED and HDD LED, these control the power and reset switches plus the LED’s at the front of the case. Note all motherboards are not the same, consult your manual for proper instructions on how to plug into a single block of pins on the board.
·         Plug in the remaining front panel connectors such as the firewire, an audio port, and the USB hubs in the respective slots on the motherboard.
·         Next connect the system fans, most case fans use DC plug similar to those employed by CPU coolers. Motherboards have dedicated ports for system fans typically labeled CH a or s YS, they manual map out the location of these headers.

Step 9 installing the graphics cards  

Installing the graphics card is one of the easiest installations, although the card plugs into only one PCI Express expansion slot, the cards cooler takes up to two slots.
·         First remove the two expansion slot covers at the back of the case to make room for the graphics. To determine which slot you need, locate the primary PCI Express x16 slot which is usually one of the top slots on the motherboard. NOTE how the PCI-E slots have notches in different position to prevent cards from being inserted the wrong way
·         Lower the card into the appropriate slot and make sure the display outputs are facing the back in the case.
·         Apply even pressure along the top edge to sink the card fully.
·         Secure the card to the case with the screw from the expansion slot covers
·         If you need to remove the graphics card be sure to release the retention tab located at the bottom end of the slot. Motherboards use different mechanisms and you might need to use a poking tool to reach the tab.

Step 10 Installing the power supply.

At this point, your PC is nearly complete but we still need to add the power supply or PSU for short. Traditional PSU have all their cabling attached but modular ones allow users to connect only the power leaves they need. A modular PSU is always recommended as it will allow a clean build and ease the cable management process.
·         PSU attach via four main holes on the rear panel, the screw holes in the PSU have a symmetrical pattern which is why some cases will work with only one orientation.
·         Light up the holes and attach the PSU using the 632 screws include with the case.
Most systems will need 24-pin primary connectors and ford a pen auxiliary 12-volt connectors for the motherboard and graphics cards require one or two six to eight-pin PCI Express leads. You also need as many SATA connectors as the number of your drives.

Final stage wiring the build and cable management.

Now that all the components are installed it time out complete the wiring process connecting the power supply to the respective components.
·         Attach all drives using the Serial ATA (SATA) data cable included in your motherboard. SATA cables are key to connecting only one orientation, use the L-shaped socket as a guide for the tip at the cable. If one of your tips is at a right angle connect that to the drive rather than to the motherboard.
·         Connect devices one at a time to keep track of what is plugged in where you will want to make sure if you installed any SSD’s are connected to the motherboard 6 gigabits per second SATA port.
·         After connecting the data cables, you need to make sure that every component draws power from the PSU. If you are using a modular power supply, connect cable first to the PSU and then to the appropriate components one at a time, the power supply should be key to accept only the right leads.
·         Start with the motherboard power connector, line up the clip on the plug with the tab on the outside at the motherboard socket. If the connector doesn’t slip in smoothly try flipping it around.
·         Next attach the auxiliary 12-volt connector which uses four or eight pins depending on the motherboard.
·         Now connect the graphics card. Most graphics cards require external power in form of one or two PCIe connectors, this connector vary from 6-8 pin
·         Finally attach the power cables to the hard drives and the optical drive.
With everything connected you will need to tie up loose ends. Use the zip ties to neatly arrange the cables, it best to bundle adjacent cables rather than dealing with all individually. Keep low profile behind the motherboard tray otherwise, the side panel might bulge out when it’s replaced. Also, avoid blocking the cut out that provide access to the underside of the CPU socket.
At this point the build is complete, connect the power cord and other peripherals like monitor, mouse and keyboard and fire up your PC. If everything was done properly the PC fans should run smooth and you should get a display in you monitor screen.

Configuring your Bios and installing windows 7.

Otherwise known as bios or UEFI, motherboard bios control numerous system variables. Getting into the interface typically requires hitting a specific key often it's delete or f2 during the first few seconds after powering on the system. The flash screen that pops up on boot will indicate which key needs to be pressed. The new generation and firmware implementation have rich graphical interfaces complete with support. The Interface will differ depending on the manufacturer of your motherboard.
·         First you will need to update the motherboard firmware, most firmware’s have an integrated flash utility you can download the latest release from the manufacturers website.
·         Put the firmware in a USB thumb drive connect it to the system and boot into the firmware interface. From there you should be able to launch the flashing utility and select the firmware file on the thumb drive. Be careful at this point and make sure the system does not lose power during the flashing process otherwise, your motherboard might get hosed.
·         With the firmware up to date, you can move on and start tweaking few settings
·         Change the power management of the system and enable certain features such as turbo mode, you can decide to change the memory frequency or leave it as it is.
·         Next navigate to the storage interface and make sure that the SATA mode selection is set to AHCI
·         Take a moment and arrange the boot order if you will be installing windows from DvD set optical drive to be the first in order.
·         Save and restart your PC.
The last step is installing windows.

Insert the windows DVD into the optical drive and wai
t for it to boot up, follow the instruction carefully. After about ten minutes the windows finish up and your computer will ready for use.

These conditions include Osteoarthritis, Neck pains, labor pains, Fibromyalgia, Dental pains, Chemotherapy, Menstrual cramps, migraine and Headaches. People with serious back disease such as spinal infection and cancer, are not advised to use this method
Risk and side effects
The risk involved are low if only a professional administers acupuncture, the possible side effects include:
Organ injury; sometimes the needle might be pushed too deep in the body, puncturing the internal organs such as the liver. This side effect is extremely rare when an experienced practitioner administers acupuncture.
Soreness, when the skin is punctured it will have soreness and minor bleeding, this is not a serious effect because it can be easily treated.
Infections; a side-effects only happens if the practitioner fails to use clean tools. This may expose you to infection such as hepatitis.
Safety.
Acupuncture is one of the safest way of treating pain, but if not administered by an experienced and trained practitioner it can cause potentially harmful effects.
