			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays websites have become an essential part of not only business but every profession. Website makes strong impact on the image of profession. It becomes more important when you are concerned about exploring the opportunities worldwide. If you are into the business, an owner of small or medium or big company, or a professional or a free lancer you need to have your own website to explore the opportunities or to introduce yourself to your clients worldwide. 15% of world population i.e nearly 975 million people are internet users.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/importanceofweb.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-278 aligncenter" title="Web" src="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/importanceofweb-300x225.png" alt="webwww" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>If you have no existence on internet in the shape of a website, it becomes impossible to reach out to each one of them. Websites have no boundaries and need no visa to cross borders which they do instantly. If you have a website, you are &#8216;international&#8217; otherwise even your regional identity is in oblivion.<span id="more-296"></span></p>
<p>The website helps you to maintain global presence, resultantly its helps you to acquire business. Having a website means your business is open and reachable round the clock and throughout the year. When you enter WWW (World Wide Web) zone, you have a new horizon in front. Business without website means you are running your business without going out of your office.</p>
<p>The importance of website requires that it should be attractive, meaningful, easy to navigate and should have style and substance to attract the surfer. There are many ways to get your website noticed by the visitors:-</p>
<ol>
<li>Submit your site to the main search engines and wait for them to visit your site and add it to their index.</li>
<li>Write articles relating to the subject of your site and submit these to article directories.</li>
<li>Post to forums relating to the subject of your website and add a link to your site in your signature of all the emails you send out. Promoting your website so that enough targeted traffic visits your site. Interesting content, attractive layout and specific themes also help in getting some extra visitors.</li>
<li>And to get maximum benefit out of your website you need to contact  <a title="Quality Web Solutions " href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/" target="_blank">The FAS Solutions</a> Once you have a website you can list your website address on your business cards, flyers and pamphlets, bulletin boards and even the company sign that you have hanging on the side of your building. In fact, you can save money on these other marketing tools by having a website. For example, you can feature an electronic version of your catalog on your website, with no limit on size. You can describe all of your products and services in greater detail because space on your website is significantly less expensive than full color print. And what happens if you need to make a change, such as if you delete or add products or services? Are you going to reprint all of your printed marketing materials? On a website, you have the ability to make the necessary changes at no additional costs.</li>
</ol>
<p>The morale of the story is – whether you are a small business entrepreneur, inventor, artist, author or any other professional, you need a website. In the world we live in, increasingly people are turning to the virtual world to find information and business, and if you don’t have a presence on the Internet you will not only be making it more difficult for the people to find you, but you will be sending the wrong signals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this day and age most people are left wondering how to cope with the shortage of money and time.</p>
<p>Some say &#8216;time is money&#8217; and some say &#8216; money is time&#8217;. In fact both are losing both, time as well as money. If people start using some easy to learn tricks, they can save time and money both. So it&#8217;s &#8220;time&#8221; for you to learn some tricks that will help you save &#8220;money.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/article2header.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-125 aligncenter" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-width: 0px;" title="article2header" src="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/article2header-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="213" /></a></p>
<h2>Saving Money</h2>
<p>You can save money by turning off the lights when they are not in use. In a single house you can save up to two hundred and fifty dollars ($250/-) a year by just switching of the lights when not in use.</p>
<p>This is just the beginning, if you follow the following tricks you can add immensely to the saved money by the end of year.</p>
<p><span id="more-124"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Look for deals</strong>:  Search actively for deals. If you can buy something you like and at a cheaper rate, go for it. Always ask details of &#8216;discounted price&#8217;. You may get the same stuff you looked in the other shop for lesser amount. The internet is full of such great deals.</li>
<li><strong>Coupons:</strong>   Surely, you know all about coupons. Why would you want to pay the full price on something when so many coupons are available? For money saving tricks, so many people use coupons. You can now find coupons online and print them out.</li>
<li><strong>Buy quality products:</strong>   There are times where you should buy high quality products. Many times, when you buy cheap products, they are not going to last as long. Some examples of high quality products you should purchase include bulbs, television, sofa, couch, air conditioner, trolleys, refrigerator and television.  Many times, a high quality bulb and other electronic item will be energy efficient and last longer.</li>
<li><strong>Take care of your money:</strong>   By taking care of your money, you can guarantee it will last longer. Do not buy what you cannot afford – In other words, does not use credit cards! Credit cards will land you in debt faster than you can say “credit.” Do not buy the items you don&#8217;t need. Before you go shopping, sit down and make that list. Once you are in the store, stick to that list. Many times, stores put stuff in the main aisles to catch your attention – that is their trick; your trick should be saving your hard earned cash.</li>
<li><strong>While on vacations:</strong>   Everyone needs to go on a vacation from time to time. When you go on the vacation, make sure you keep these money saving tricks in mind! Don&#8217;t go beserk to buy unnecessary stuff. Plan your vacations out ahead of time – take advantage of those online savings.</li>
<li><strong>Carpool:</strong>   Whenever it is possible, carpool. Carpool will not only save money, but will help save the environment. Never hesitate; it’s an effective way of saving money which many people ignore.</li>
<li><strong>Establish a personal budget:</strong>    This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money. You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you create your budget. You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in, and how much money you have going out. Once you have prepared a budget of incoming money and outgoing money, you will be able to identify areas where you can save.</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t carry excessive debt:</strong>   Some debt in our lives may be essential. We may need a mortgage to purchase a home; we may need to use our credit card to make purchases until pay-day, but your aim to save money should be to have as little debt as possible. Credit Card debt is typically the most expensive debt we may carry. You will be able to save money every month if you make it an absolute rule to pay off your outstanding balance every month. If you can have the discipline to do this you will save money by effectively having no debt and thus no interest charge on your credit card.</li>
<li><strong>Eat in rather than out:</strong>   This is a huge area where you can save money. A cup of coffee taken out could easily cost you twenty times (or more) what it would cost you to make it at home. So think before you drink when you are out. Eating is the same. Fast food restaurants are counting on you eating food that you perhaps don&#8217;t really need at that time but buy just because it is quick. Why not wait until you get home and have a more nutritious meal and save money at the same time.</li>
<li><strong>Spending on Information technology:</strong>   You may avoid some commodities of household to save your money but in present era you cannot avoid IT sector. You need an impressive presence of your business on the web, so be a good chooser . . . The FAS Solutions provides you with quality software &amp; website development and amazingly at affording prices.</li>
</ol>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">Saving Time</span></p>
<p>Above 10 points essentially save time too but to be more precise in saving time we need to observe following.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Establish a routine:</strong>   Very important time saving ingredient. Don&#8217;t get stuck figuring out over and over again how to do the same task. Get used to and do your chores in a set pattern. Doing things in a routine will enable you save precious time.</li>
<li><strong>Plan your future:</strong>   Planning for future is essential to organize your coming days commitments. This will enable you to analyze the amount of time its going to consume. In the morning, your list will be ready and you won&#8217;t have to stress over what to do next.</li>
<li><strong>Set a deadline for decisions:</strong> It&#8217;s not wise to make decisions too quickly, but it&#8217;s just as detrimental to take too long. If you have all the information you&#8217;re going to get, allow yourself some time to ruminate over the pros and cons or come up with a creative solution, but waiting and hoping that something will magically come to you is not a good move. You&#8217;ll just end up reviewing what you&#8217;ve already gone through many times over. Decide on a deadline to make a decision and make it, so you can move forward.</li>
<li><strong>Be a good learner:</strong>   Know your job and know your sub-ordinates and their skill. If you are not aware of what you have assigned to your staff, you are likely to be cheated and this will result in lot of hassle and loss of precious time. Unless it&#8217;s something you are planning to outsource, there&#8217;s just no reason to continue to do something inefficiently if you can learn a valuable skill and save time in the future.</li>
<li><strong>Meal Planning:</strong>   Think of how many meals or breaks you and your staff really need. Do not let yourself and your staff waste time on entertain every visitor, mind you its business area.</li>
<li><strong>Get the important stuff done early:</strong>    Pick the top 2-3 things you need or want to accomplish today and get those done first. While on other days you might push these important things back (and possibly not get them done at all), if you do them first the rest of your day will be gravy.</li>
<li><strong>Choose punctual partners:</strong>   It is equally important to have partners who observe timings. If you do business with lazy partners it will have direct effect on your business.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you need to outsource IT related business, go for <a title="Quality Software Solutions" href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com" target="_blank">The FAS Solutions</a> and get the job done with quality and in-time completion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you connect your PC to the Internet, you open up a whole new world of adventure and information for you and your family. Unfortunately, you also open up a new world of potential dangers viruses, spam, computer attacks, and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/OnlineSecurity.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-145" title="Tips for being safe online" src="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/OnlineSecurity-300x198.jpg" alt="Header image: tips for being safe online" width="500" height="198" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately, it&#8217;s easy to protect your pc and your family from these dangers. All you need to do is to follow some techniques and a lot of common sense! And in fact, the use of common sense would greatly reduce the issues that we face online.  By following the tips below and becoming actively engaged in your own security, you&#8217;ll not only be protecting yourself, you&#8217;ll be contributing to the protection of society and betterment of the Internet as a whole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-141"></span></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Take the time to practice safe online behavior &#8211; be sure to end every online session by logging off your personal accounts when you’re done using them.</li>
<li>Don’t access personal documents or online bank accounts on public computers.</li>
<li>Only shop with reputable online companies and be sure to verify web sites for their authenticity before submitting credit card numbers or other personally identifiable information and also try to use one credit card for online purchases. This way, if your information is compromised, you know exactly which card is breached. If you are notified of a breach, get a new card. Although your credit card company might offer monitoring services, you will be safer getting a new card, especially if you only have one credit card.</li>
<li>Frequently change your passwords and ensure they’re complicated and hard to guess and by including a series of numbers, letters (uppercase, lowercase) and symbols but you can still remember it. Also make sure you use a password that is not intricately connected to information about you, such as your date of birth or your mother’s name, because thieves might be able to track down that information. “Just like you have a ring of keys, you have a key to your house and a key to your car, you need a different key for each site,” If one get your Facebook account, because your email account is your logon, then he / she probably also have your email account and then your email account and then probably can get your bank account and things like that. Many people simply change their passwords if they believe there accounts have been compromised. Make sure you also change the security question that many sites ask in conjunction with a password. Use common sense, if you talk about your current pet on social networks, it might not be best to use its name as the answer to your security questions and don’t send your passwords through email.</li>
<li>Use caution when clicking! On the internet, there are Rogue AntiVirus websites floating around that pop up and look almost identical to what you see when you go into “My Computer”. It also shows an apparent virus scan and then displays the results, indicating that you’re loaded with viruses. It then asks you to download something. If you know what you’re actually looking at, however, you can determine that this is fake. Also, NEVER download a .exe, .com, .bat, .vbs, .what, .ever unless you’ve specifically set out in search of this file and you’re downloading it from a trusted source. You can add .pdf to this list now, too, as .pdf’s are riddled with bugs.</li>
<li>Assess your social network “friends” to ensure you’re connected with only people you know and trust and consider creating separate lists or profiles for professional and personal networking.  Don’t randomly accept friend requests on social sites. I understand the idea is to be social and meet new people on these sites. However, if one can’t get information from your page anonymously, he/she will simply set up a fake Facebook account and send you a friend request. 9 times out of 10 it will get accepted and he/she will have all of the information that you spent the last 5 minutes trying to secure. Also make sure your social sites aren’t leaking information: As I’ve shown here many times now, social networking provides a wealth of information to someone interested. Whether it’s your location, family, friends, etc., it’s all available there for someone looking. You want to share this information with your friends, but not with people who just stumble across your Facebook page. Right now, go spend 5 minutes checking and double-checking your privacy settings. It’s under “Account” at the top right of your Facebook page. Don’t divulge your address/phone number when posting on someone’s wall or responding to someone posting on your wall. Email it to them, if necessary. Or, pick up the phone!</li>
<li>Pay attention to misspellings. If the site doesn’t look right, check your spelling. If you spell Google or Disney wrong, you might not be in the right place.</li>
<li>Every year complete a full analysis of your online persona. Use a search engine to gather and review all content associated with your identity. Be aware of the information about you that is available online. One of the ways in which individuals are compromised is when a hacker or con man uses information that they’ve found out about you through a simple search and manipulate it.</li>
<li>Take control of your email. Avoid opening email attachments received unexpectedly &#8212; no matter who appears to have sent it. Remember that most worms and trojan-laden spam try to spoof the sender&#8217;s name. And make sure your email client isn&#8217;t leaving you open to infection. Reading email in plain text offers important security benefits that more than offset the loss of pretty colored fonts.</li>
<li>Treat IM suspiciously. Instant Messaging is a frequent target of worms and trojans. Treat it just as you would email.</li>
<li>Avoid P2P and distributed filesharing. Torrent, Kazaa, Gnutella, Morpheus and at least a dozen other filesharing networks exist. Most are free. And all are rife with trojans, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, and every other form of malicious code imaginable. There&#8217;s no such thing as safe anonymous filesharing. Avoid it like the plague</li>
<li>Keep abreast of Internet scams. Criminals think of clever ways to separate you from your hard earned cash. Don&#8217;t get fooled by emails telling sad stories, or making unsolicited job offers, or promising lotto winnings. Likewise, beware of email masquerading as a security concern from your bank or other eCommerce site.</li>
<li>Be wary of “phishing” attacks. A good rule is: When in doubt, type it out. Although the URL may look trustworthy, con men hide bad links in hyperlinks. “If you type in the thing yourself, you’ll be able to see if that email was real or not,” In general, read the URL and use a common sense approach. If it says “.ru” instead of “.com,” ask yourself, “Does it make sense that my bank site is being hosted in Russia?” If you get an email from one of your contacts that seem out of character that has a link or attachment, don’t click on it. If a web site opens a window asking you to download something, don’t download it. If someone contacts you, asking for information that you normally wouldn’t give out, but this person is in need of some kind of help, don’t go against your better judgment. When posting stuff on the internet, don’t divulge personal information.  If I asked you. if some person in Romania emailed you, saying that they had $14.2 million dollars in an offshore account and just needed help getting it to a US account and were willing to give you half of it if you helped them.. Would you give them your account information? No? Why not? Don’t laugh. Hundreds of people have fallen victim to this scam. It exploits two human vulnerabilities: Kindness and greed. Again, common sense and intuition could prevent this from ever working.</li>
<li>Realize how your details are shared. Although you might have provided your contact information to your local supermarket, they might not be the ones storing that information. Many companies outsource that kind of storage to a third party. “The answer is not to say, ‘I will never use the Internet’. The answer is to say, ‘I’m going to hold the companies I do business with, both online and offline, accountable for their actions,”</li>
<li>Check your financial health annually by obtaining a copy of your credit report to look for false or fraudulent activity.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember, there&#8217;s far more good than bad on the Internet. The goal isn&#8217;t to be paranoid. The goal is to be cautious, aware, and even suspicious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people don’t really realize the risk of leaving their wireless network wide open. I think they understand that it means that anyone can use their internet connection, but I don’t think they understand the issues beyond that. Honestly, here’s what an open wireless network allows a hacker to do:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/wirelesssc.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-153" title="Why and How to Protect your wireless network" src="http://www.thefas-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/wirelesssc-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="199" /></a></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>One can sniff all of your information going out to the internet including credit card numbers, social security numbers, pictures, chats, everything.</li>
<li>One can browse through your files, email, etc. Let’s hope you don’t have any risqué pictures on your computer of yourself, because if you do, one can have them, too</li>
<li>One can take over your computer, your web cam, your mic. So, not only will one can see all of your communications, can also be able to listen to you and watch you when you’re not even ON the computer<span id="more-151"></span></li>
<li>And worst of all, one can commit crimes online and have you take the heat for them because your internet connection is being used.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Are you taking wireless security seriously yet? Apply the following simple steps to mitigate your exposure.</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Create a strong router administrator password – If a wireless router does not have a strong password and someone able to crack the password from the outside, the network security can be compromised. By letting the unauthorized outsider to have the authority to access the router administration settings, one can do so many things up to even take control of the entire network. As a result, it is not safe to use a weak password especially the default administrator credentials.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Turn of SSID  - When connecting to any wireless network, the operating system will load the entire list of SSID names which are within the range of the person who connects. look into how to turn off SSID broadcasting. If hacker war driving and your SSID doesn’t pop up, hacker won’t be targeting it.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Enable network encryption – Visit the website of the vendor of your wireless equipment and learn how to enable WPA level security. No, it’s not perfect, but if a hacker faced with a house that has a WEP secured wireless and one that’s using WPA, hacker will choose the WEP network every time. Every piece of data transferred around the network should be encrypted where it can be configured in the router settings. If the network is not encrypted, there is a possibility that someone will attempt a ‘Man in the Middle’ attack in the network. It is recommended to use Wireless Protect Access encryption or Wireless Protect Access II encryption.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Filter MAC address – Every electronic device comes with a unique MAC address. Filtering MAC address can ensure that only the specific device that the owner of a wireless network recognized is allowed to connect into the network.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Reduce wireless signal strength – There is no reason for wireless signal strength to be super strong unless the network is deployed in a mansion. Therefore it is advisable not to be so generous by offering free wireless network connection to all the people who do not live in your house. Routers today can come with very powerful signal strength and if the wireless network signal is just for a studio apartment size, you can reduce the strength by changing the mode from 802.11g to 802.11b.</li>
