Tips and tricks to repair phones and PCs

Five tricks that can bring products back to life - from an overheating PC to a mobile phone that's taken a dunk in the bath

By Jonathan Weinberg | Yahoo! News – Thu, May 9, 2013

Britain is broken - or at least, our mobile phones, laptops and PCs are.

Many of us limp around with half-broken gadgets - with insurer Protect Your Bubble claiming today that a third of us have attempted makeshift repairs using sticky tape, elastic bands and chewing gum.

But there are genuine tricks that can bring products back to life - from an overheating PC to a mobile phone that's taken a dunk in the bath.

You don't need to get out a soldering iron, either - you can often repair gadgets using home ingredients such as bowls of rice.

Here are a few tips that really work:

Frozen iPhone

It's a common issue and one that takes seconds to sort. If your Apple mobile freezes you can perform a soft refresh by holding down the centre button and the one on the top together until it switches off and turns back on. You'll know this has worked when the Apple logo appears. It's a cliche to say turn it off and turn it on again but it often does work. Similarly, a restart of your computer can cure many ills such as slowdowns and crashing.

Soaked phone

This trick doesn't always work - especially with iPhones - but if you act quickly you can sometimes save a phone even if it's taken a dunk in the bath. Quickly take the battery out, and attempt to mop up any fluid.

Place the phone in the bag and leave it for at least 48 hours, long enough for condensation to form on the bag and the silica gel or rice to draw whatever moisture is left out of the phone. If you can see water droplets or condensation on the screen, we’re afraid things just haven’t worked out.

Cracked/Broken Screens

Replacing a mobile or tablet display yourself is not for the faint-hearted. Although the parts are not expensive, you could invalidate any warranty you have by doing it yourself. There are videos on YouTube and DIY sites such as Instructables showing the steps to take but it is a fiddly process.

However, you do not always have to rely on having it fixed by the manufacturer. London firm fonedoctors are experts at mobile A&E and Carphone Warehouse also have their team of Geek Squad Agents who can carry out repairs at stores across the UK.

Stuck Buttons

Whether on a phone, a computer keyboard or any device where buttons have to be pressed, things do have a habit of getting stuck. Often the issue can be caused by a small bit of food or just a piece of dirt.

But a quick squirt from a can of compressed air can shift this easily and without causing damage. Often something soft like a cotton bud can release whatever has built up. Don't use sharp tools like a screwdriver or knife. It will only make things worse.

Overheating/Noisy Computers

Fans inside of computers can create a heck of a lot of noise if they aren't able to move around freely. And if they can't move around freely, they can't do their job of keeping the inside of your machine cool. Whether on a desktop or laptop, dust build up can cause a computer to overheat. This can cause the fan to work overtime and make noise.

But by simply removing the casing and blowing out the dust with a can of compressed air, you can solve this problem. Just don't get too close with the nozzle or squirt it for too long. Do it in short bursts with the machine on its side so the dust has room to escape.

Dropped or Slow Wi-Fi

There can be various reasons why your broadband suddenly slow down when used wirelessly. Often it can be caused by interference with your router. If it is on the floor, raise it up onto a table or a shelf. The higher it is, the easier the signal can move around.

Ensure it's not blocked by other objects or in a place where it is surrounded by lots of thick walls. Interference can also be caused by placing it next to other objects such as cordless home phones. It might also be affected by the Wi-Fi signal of neighbours or businesses nearby if they are working on the same channel as your router. To change this channel, consult your instructions and you will be able to log into the router's control panel through your computer and change this.

Mother Nature's Palette
Salt collectors gather salt from pools of mineral-colored water on the Senegalese coastline near the border with Gambia on June 12, 2006. Women collect salt by hand into 110-pound sacks, which sell for about just under $2. The sacks are then traded with neighboring Mauritania, where salt is mainly used for preserving fish and meat in areas that don't have access to electricity.

Soy Bean Farming Fallout

The Veu de Noiva waterfall is seen in Chapada dos Guimaraes national park, Mato Grosso state, western Brazil on January 30, 2011. The neighboring Pantanal area, a sanctuary of biodiversity, is presently at risk because of the intensive culture of soybean and the deforestation, local scientists said.

Spring Snow

A couple walks along a path bordered by three-meter-high snow drifts on Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 6, 2013. Though the lower mainland of British Columbia has been enjoying summer temperatures, the local mountains still have plenty of snow. If April showers bring May flowers, what do May snowstorms bring? Probably lots of flooding, unfortunately. Look out, Seattle.

Calved

Tourists stare at the Perito Moreno glacier after the rupture of a massive ice wall near the city of El Calafate, in southern Argentina, on March 4, 2012. The glacier, a massive tongue of ice in the Santa Cruz province, which covers 97 square miles, advances yearly into a lake, known as Lago Argentino. As Perito Moreno moves inland, it cuts off a river feeding the lake. Water builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until the ice eventually comes tumbling down. The phenomenon repeats itself at irregular intervals, with the last major ice falls occurring in 2008.

Dragon's Blood Tree

The island of Socotra, located some 220 miles southeast from Yemen, is home to some of the planet's most alien-looking plants and animals. Chief among these head-tilting natural wonders is the Dragon's Blood tree. The tree, which is only found on Socotra, produces a red sap, hence its name. For thousands of years, the sap has been used by locals as a dye and as a medicine. In 2008, Socotra was recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as a World Natural Heritage site because of its ecological diversity.

Algae Excavation
A fisherman uses a pitchfork to clean up green algae that covered a beach in Oingdao, China, on July 5, 2011. This particular bloom, also known as green tide, clogged nearly 7,700 square miles of China's Yellow Sea. While the algae is not poisonous—even with the unpleasant odor it leaves on the beaches—blooms can ravage underwater ecosystems because they consume large quantities of oxygen, creating "dead zones" and thereby suffocating marine life.

Palmed Off
A cleared forest area under development for palm oil plantations in Indonesia's central Kalimantan province is photographed from above on July 6, 2010. The aerial shot was taken as part of a media trip organized by Greenpeace, which has campaigned against palm oil expansion in forested areas in Indonesia. Almost 90 percent of the palm oil sold around the world comes from Indonesia and Malaysia. Since 1990, 6,200 square miles of rainforests and peat lands have been cleared to make way for palm oil plantations, a clear-cutting that has pushed Sumatran tigers and orangutans to the brink of extinction.

Operation Icebridge
Saunders Island and Wolstenholme Fjord are photographed during an Operation Icebridge survey flight in April 2013. IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever flown. It will yield an unprecedented three-dimensional view of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, ice shelves and sea ice, as they continue to vanish because of global warming.

Rainbow Eucalyptus Trees
Yeah, yeah—we know what you're thinking: This image of a rainbow eucalyptus tree, snapped in Maui, Hawaii, is a fake. A gem of a Photoshopped image. Thing is, though, it's real. The painted phenomenon occurs, simply, when patches of back peel off over time. Recently shed bark reveals bright green tree layers. Over time, the elements change these into blues and purples, and eventually into oranges and reds.

The Fox River, a tributary of the Illinois River, is expected to crest today, April 23, after heavy rains brought flooding to the area last week. The high water is being blamed for three deaths, including a 12-year-old boy.
Since the Great Flood of 1993, the Mississippi River's flood plains have been turned into green spaces as thousands of homes have been bought out and emptied in an attempt to mitigate loss of life and property damages.

RE: The Third Rock From the Sun
Seven million. That's the number of Earthlings added to our lovely planet each month, give or take. This staggering growth rate shines a very large, very bright spotlight on our spinning blue marble's very limited resources, namely food, water, and energy. For example, will there be enough to go around come 2100? Maybe, but only if we go all in right now on the renewable principles that will ensure a sustainable future. More solar panels and wind turbines, fewer oil derricks and coal plants. More rooftop gardens, less XL pipelines. More politicians willing to actually make an honest-to-goodness push for meaningful climate change legislation, fewer lawmakers who say they will, but probably don't really mean it. And, yes, that includes the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And so, on Earth Day 2013, ask yourself one question: What are you doing—or, more aptly, what should you be doing—to ensure that the only planet we're ever likely to call home will be inhabitable for your children and their children?

Suburban Waterfall
This winter 58-year-old Wen Hsu was worried the uninsulated water pipes running through his apartment building in Jilin Provice, China, would freeze. But instead of simply running the water once a day, or say, once every 12 hours, he went to the extreme—leaving his tap on for months and diverting the warm water flow down the side of the building. Eventually, the water froze during the region's recent cold spell.

Now the building is scheduled for demolition by a private developer who intends to use the land to build a shopping center. "They want me to move, but what they were offering was not enough for me to get another place so I'm refusing to leave," said Wen Hsu, to local media. There's no telling just how many gallons of water were wasted, but given the world water crisis—globally, 1.1 billion people don't have access to safe, clean drinking water—even a single drop is a liquid tragedy.

A Tree in the Tire Forest
In a picture taken on April 16, 2013, a tree grows among thousands of tons of used tires left in an abandoned ten-hectare recycling installation in Lachapelle-Auzac, France. The company recycling these used tires closed in 2004 after being placed in receivership. Nine years later, amid all this rubbery rubbish, life still finds a way.

Simply Splendid
After heavy rain in August 2011, a fresh-water stream flows into a waterfall that cascades over a cliff and into the North Sea at Crawton in Aberdeenshire, on the east coast of Scotland. Once a thriving fishing village, Crawton has been deserted since 1927 because of overfishing.

Double Trouble
A Chinese vessel sits stuck, having run aground on a protected coral reef on April 8 at the Tubbataha National Marine Park, a UNESCO-designated World Heritage sight southwest of the Philippines. When officials boarded the ship, they found 20,000 pounds of meat from a protected species—the pangolin, or scaly anteater. "It is bad enough that the Chinese have illegally entered our seas, navigated without boat papers and crashed recklessly into a national marine park and World Heritage Site," said WWF-Philippines chief executive officer Jose Ma. Lorenzo Tan, to Yahoo News. "It is simply deplorable that they appear to be posing as fishermen to trade in illegal wildlife."

Emperor Bomb
On August 23, 2012, large chunks of ice and debris calve off of the Moshniy Glacier located on Novaya Zemlya, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean located north of Russia. During the height of the Cold War, Novaya Zemlya was known as a secret military area where the most powerful nuclear device in history, a 50 megaton Soviet hydrogen bomb named "Emperor Bomb," was detonated. Now glaciers in the area are being studied because the duration of open water has increased annually due to the decrease in sea ice because of global warming.

The Inevitability of Solar Power
A boy witnesses a solar eclipse as the sun sets over Albuquerque, New Mexico, on May 20, 2012. Only one percent of the total U.S. electricity output is solar, despite two head-scratching facts—one, solar energy is free; and two, enough sunlight hits the Earth in 40 minutes (that’s an episode of Lost, minus commercials) to power us for an entire year. If recent polls are to be believed, it looks as if more and more Americans are finally warming up to the fact that the sun is an inexhaustible fuel source that should be powering their iPads, their Walkmen, and their George Foreman grills. What's more, solar companies are now a fixture at home improvement shows. Another recent report shows that rooftop solar is already cheaper than grid power in over ten percent of the market in five states—California, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and New Jersey. That trend is projected to spread among 49 states by 2022.

Bone-fied Cyclist
A skeleton riding a bicycle is displayed to demand more safety to users of the individual transport system Ecobici at the Alameda Ecobici station along Juarez Avenue, in Mexico City, on April 5, 2013. According to the Ministry of Environment of the Federal District, more than 45,000 people are using the bike-sharing system, which looks for an alternative to reduce the pollution in one of the more crowded cities around the world. Launched in 2010, Ecobici will soon be available to tourists, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which reported: "Once considered a crime-ridden, polluted and congested city that tourists loved to miss, it has become one of the country's safer and more tourist-friendly destinations, reporting a 9 percent increase in North American tourists in 2012."

Gone Forever
Some of the hundreds of totally destroyed homes are seen in the aftermath of the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on June 28, 2012. Cooler temperatures and lighter winds helped firefighters battle the fire, which had destroyed hundreds of homes and forced more than 35,000 people to flee.

No Mas Smog
Pollution hovers over the eastern sector of Santiago, Chile, on July 30, 1999. The pollution hangs in striking contrast to the snowcapped Andes Mountains in the background. Local authorities have long battled high levels of pollution in the Chilean capital, home to 5.5 million people.

The Light is Always Revealed

When you are trying to reveal Light, it’s not about the immediate effect that you have with your actions, whether it is with your children, your family, with your friends, career and certainly in your spiritual work. You don’t stay focused on the immediate result of your actions. You know clearly that if you’re investing energy, if you’re investing Light and if your desire is to bring good and share, the Light will be revealed. It might not be today. It might be in five years. It might be in ten years, but that Light will be revealed.

As the kabbalists teach, often the reality of our lives is not that we don’t know, it’s that we sometimes know too much and knowing often does not lead to action or change in our lives.

The founder of The Kabbalah Centre, Rav Yehuda Ashlag, revealed many great secrets, but when he writes about the core of the revelation of his teachings and therefore the core of what Kabbalah is about, the core of what the Kabbalah Centre is about, he boils it down to what he calls in his language ‘One Mitzvah and One Averah’: one positive action or focus that should lead our lives and one negative action to avoid. These are very simple words, but they have within them the secret of life and even the secret of immortality.

The Light of the Creator is a Desire to Share. Sometimes we get confused. We think about God and it means all kinds of different things to different people. What are we talking about? We’re talking about a simple energy that we call a Desire to Share.

Life is also very simple. If we can connect to that Light and energy we bring an endless amount of blessings into our lives. How do we connect to that Light? How do we connect to that simple Desire to Share? Rav Ashlag says you have to follow these two simple rules in life.

The one positive action or focus of our lives is to transform into a person whose singular desire from the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we go to sleep and in each moment we think about our lives and our purpose in this world is a Desire to Share.

If the focus of my life is to become a person whose desire is consistently growing in the way of a Desire to Share, meaning that wherever I am today in my desire to do good for others and create good in this world, I am on a path to connect with that simple Light and reveal greater and greater blessings in my life. This might sound simple, but this is the most difficult thing in the world to do because we are not simply talking about doing nice actions and being kind with others. We’re talking about a change that occurs within us.

We have to be very careful that we don’t confuse doing actions that are kind with this internal transformation. The simple question is:

How much have I become a person who in my essence is has a greater Desire to Share with others and to share with the world? Is that my singular life focus?

The negative action we work to transform is what the kabbalists call the Desire to Receive for the Self Alone.

Every single one of us has these two sides, the Desire to Share, which is usually smaller and the Desire to Receive for the Self Alone, which is usually larger. If we want to receive the blessings that are meant for us, we have to go through a process of transformation. The beauty of this process is that when we have achieved this complete transformation where the Desire to Share in our essence is great and our Desire to Receive for the Self Alone is greatly diminished, we are completely connected to the Light of the Creator and the blessings that that Light can bring into our life.

This teaching is not only a path towards blessings in our lives, but is also a path towards immortality. What is death? If we understand that the Light of the Creator is simply a Desire to Share – it is also a source of Light, a source of blessing – if we can connect completely to that light, we can connect completely to life, but when we do actions of selfishness or actions springing from a Desire to Receive for the Self Alone, we are taking a step away from that Light of the Creator, from that Light of life.

Unfortunately what happens in most of our lives is that day after day we do enough actions of Desire to Receive for the Self Alone that we are slowly severing our tie to the source of life. When a person has brought about enough of that disconnection they leave the physical world. The body loses its ability to be sustained.

Therefore when we talk about this concept of “One Positive Action and One Negative Action,” it isn’t just a nice spiritual concept. This is at the core of our lives. On the positive side there have been people who have done the very difficult work of transformation and achieved immortality because they have removed every aspect of death from their lives, completely attaching themselves to the Light of the Creator, which is the endless light of life.

The very practical question we should ask ourselves if we understand these concepts the next time we want to act in a selfish way is:

Do I want to cut away one more element of my connection to the Light of the Creator and the Light of life?

Blessings & Light,

When You Believe

Years ago two great artists Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey sang a powerful song together entitled “When You Believe”. I often remembered the words to that song when I felt I had lost my way or began to feel overwhemed with chllaenges I was facing. Whenever I questioned if what we were doing could be making a difference those words would come into my consciousness.

I share the words, as this seemed to be the reason we had found ourselves here in Tibet at the time of the WESAK Full Moon.

Many nights we prayed 
with no proof anyone could hear.


In our hearts a hopeful song 
we barely understood.


Although we know there’s much to fear, 
we were moving mountains 
long before we knew we could.



There can be miracles, 
when you believe.


Though hope is frail 
it’s hard to kill.


Who knows what miracles you can achieve
 when you believe.

They don't always happen when you ask, 
and it’s easy to give in to your fear. 
But when you’re blinded by your faith, 
can't see your way clear through the rain,
 a small but still resilient voice
says hope is very near.

Who knows what miracles you can achieve when you believe.


I knew we each played a role in making a difference. None of us could do it alone, we needed each other. It would not be a grand event it would be small acts of kindness. It would be continuous prayer by thousands. Each person doing the best they could each day. I believed with all of my heart that if just one light continued to light the heart of another, we would fulfill the dream of creating a new world together. Even though the prophecized 12:21:12 had come and gone, and it may appear nothing has changed externally in our world, we are really just beginning. China and Tibet were holding ancient wisdom, not just within the temples, but within the land and in the nature. With prayer, focused intention and love, we were being embraced and allowed into sacred places to anchor this light. Miracles were occurring.

On this very special day, the holy day that belonged to all faiths and all religions, WESAK, our group journeyed to the Potala Palace in Lhasa and was escorted through by the leading government official. To me we were somehow bridging politics and religion; we were bridging the East and the West.

It didn’t matter that MingZi needed to translate because we came from different cultures and spoke different languages; a miracle was taking place this day. We were speaking the universal language of love.

We were walking the same steps that the Dalai Llamas of the past had walked. Another door had opened with the golden keys that MingZi’s father held and we were allowed private access on to the palace roof for ceremony. As we each envisioned light replacing the darkness that still moved across the earth we joined hands and prayed.

We passed the andara crystal and each of us held it over our hearts as MingZi explained to the government official that this was a stone of unconditional love that had been held over the hearts of thousands all over the world in countless ceremonies to pray for peace, pray for forgiveness and to send love into the dragon lines.

My heart was filled with such joy as I saw the government official place the andara crystal over his heart and pray with us. It was true, no matter where we had journeyed we all wanted the same thing. We wanted peace, we wanted to heal the mistakes of the past and to create a new dream.

We sent our prayers through the sound of the singing bowls. They seemed to vibrate at a higher frequency than I had every felt before. I knew we were truly sending the sound of love through the cosmic spider web

Later that day we returned to Jokhang Temple, considered to be the ultimate pilgrimage destination for Tibetan Pilgrims. The High Llama had invited our group of spiritual pilgrims to attend the fire ceremony that occurred only at this time of the WESAK Full Moon.

As we entered the Temple, the ceremony was just beginning. After the ceremony we would collect our sacred artifacts that had been with the Buddha and the praying llamas for the last 24 hours.

The Statue of Sakyamuni, the first Buddha,
 is considered a rare treasure. When Sakyamuni was alive, he disagreed with the idea of 'personal worship' and did not allow likenesses of himself to be created. Only three statues were permitted to be sculpted during his lifetime. The first is a likeness of him at age eight; the second shows him at age twelve when he was still a prince of India; and the third is of him as an adult. The statue kept in the Jokhang Temple is the statue of Sakyamuni at the age of twelve. There is an energy of love, compassion, and strength that one can receive if they stand within this sacred place with an open heart.

When the fire ceremony was over I took the andara crystal from its pouch and shared it with the High Llama as well as the obsidian stone being.

Both the government official and the high ranking religious leader would hold the andara crystal over their heart and the obsidian stone being as we prayed to heal the lands and bring love into the dragon lines.

Under the brilliant full moon we came together once more to receive the blessings offered this very special night from the Buddha and all Master teachers of all faiths through the celestial waters. I could feel thousands of lights join us as those all over the world sent their prayers.

Just after midnight I would collapse into bed, knowing in my heart something grand had occurred. In our small way we had anchored the prayers of thousands into the lands of Tibet. It is with heartfelt gratitude I acknowledge each of you who joined with us in prayer and ceremony to anchor the light and activate the dragon line.

Join us tomorrow for our final day in this magickal land as we journey to the sacred lake where the Dragon Spirit lives and the message of the Masters was revealed.

Love and rainbows, Robbyne

I have been introduced to a very powerful energy, known to many as Deeksha or the Oneness Blessing.

It can be described as a fire from Heaven.

The Deeksha blessing literally flips a switch in your mind causing a neuro-biological shift in the brain turning off the feed from the ancient mind.

The Oneness blessing has to offer to many, something they may have never experienced before...silence within the mind!

While receiving the energy, allow it to come in through the crown flooding the entire chakra system with a golden fire.

Many experience a Kundalini Awakening, VERY POWERFUL.

This is a time to connect with your Divine and let go of your suffering.

I am more than willing to offer you my brothers and sisters of light this Divine gift!

This has helped kick start my Awakening!

Asteroid 1998 QE2: Giant Rock Passes Earth
Sky News – 4 hours ago

Watch Video :
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/video/asteroid-1998-qe2-keeping-safe-102505957.html

An asteroid that is capable of wiping out life across the globe is hurtling towards a close encounter with the planet.

The giant rock, named Asteroid 1998 QE2, will make its closest approach to Earth later tonight.

Although it will keep a safe distance of 3.6 million miles - roughly 15 times the distance between Earth and the Moon - the 1.7-mile long object is of great interest to astronomers.

Using powerful telescopes, they should be able to glimpse the asteroid's very own moon and observe some of the space rock's surface features.

Martin Archer, a space plasma physicist, warned that if the asteroid were to strike, "it would certainly have implications for life on Earth on a global scale".

"It would flatten everything within 200 miles and cause damage within 1,000 miles but a lot of dust would be released into the atmosphere, blocking the Sun," he said.

"It could certainly cause extinction for certain species.

"However, this is by no means the closest near-Earth object we've seen. We had one a couple of months ago that was well within our geostationary satellites.

"We certainly don't have to worry about this one at all."

Radar astronomer Lance Benner, who is based at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said scientists expect to obtain a series of high-resolution images of the asteroid as it skims past Earth.

He said: "Whenever an asteroid approaches this closely, it provides an important scientific opportunity to study it in detail to understand its size, shape, rotation, surface features, and what they can tell us about its origin.

"We will also use new radar measurements of the asteroid's distance and velocity to improve our calculation of its orbit and compute its motion farther into the future than we could otherwise."

Mr Archer said scientists are yet to discover every object that could one day pose a risk to life on Earth.

However, Alan Fitzsimmons, of the Astrophysics Research Centre at Queen's University Belfast, told Sky News that asteroid strikes are rare.

"Luckily objects of this size or larger only hit us about once every four million years," he said.

"Radar observations of 1998 QE2 will let us check it's not coming near us for a long time to come."

To transmute your physical form, it is best that you release your attachment to human individuality and think of yourself as a Planetary Being. For humans to ascend via their physical bodies transmuting into the fifth dimension rather than “dying” as was normal before this great era, you will need the assistance of Earth. At the same time, in order for Earth to ascend without the extinction of Her physical form, She needs human assistance.

Hence dear humans and Galactics/Celestials in human form, you will need to expand your personal consciousness into planetary consciousness. In this manner, there is no sense of personal sacrifice or fear. There is only the great unity of person and planet ascending as ONE Being. Furthermore, we request that those of you who have awakened to your Multidimensional SELF no longer hold back your process. Others have chosen the Mission of working with the beginners.

Those of you who are merged with your Multidimensional SELF are more ready than you may think. Additionally, the higher Light is allowing you to expand your consciousness into higher and higher expression of SELF. At the same time, your consciousness is expanding deeper and deeper into your atomic, subatomic and quantum levels of consciousness. In other words, you are not just raising your consciousness. You are expanding your consciousness far beyond physical Earth, as well as deep into the matrix of Earth.

As your consciousness expands, so do your perceptions. Also, when you expand your perceptions, you can change your gene activity. When you choose to believe that your higher perceptions are “real” you increase your perceptual field to the frequencies the fourth and fifth dimensions. This extended perceptual field activates the neural activity of your 97% multidimensional DNA. This multidimensional DNA is linked to your higher expressions of SELF, as well as to each cell of your body.

Your Earth vessel is an intelligent biological Earth ship, just as our Starships are biological. The current container for your consciousness is just one of myriad containers on myriad dimensions and parallel and/or alternate realities. You have decided to take command of your current personal Earth ship, which becomes a fourth-dimensional etheric ship when you are “sleeping” and can expand into the higher dimensions during meditation.

Your “dominant state of consciousness” is the state of consciousness that directs your daily life and constant perceptions. This state of consciousness is usually somewhere between your highest frequency consciousness achievable during deepest meditation and the frequency of consciousness that is responsible for directing you to react, rather than interact. In other words, it is midway between your highest and lowest states of consciousness.

Once you realize that the act of reaction determines the point of perception that identifies your dominant state of consciousness, you will become conscious of that to which you choose to react. In other words, the perception to which you choose to react creates your dominant point of perception within that NOW. You have many different dominant states of consciousness throughout your day, depending upon the perceptions to which you react, respond, interact, or ignore.

Just as your chakras are aligned to different frequencies, every state of consciousness has a frequency of perception. These perceptions are the sum-total of the frequency of reality you have chosen by your placing your attention on, reacting, responding or interacting with that specific version/frequency of reality. Every reality has many versions, and each version is different because it resonates to a higher or lower frequency.

There are myriad channels on your “TV of 3D Life.” The channel on which you choose to place your attention determines your state of consciousness within that NOW. We say “that NOW” as to us all reality exists within the HERE of the NOW. There is no coming or going in the HERE NOW. We ARE. We resonate, we fluctuate, and most wonderfully we create.
We Arcturians are here to assist you in our co-creation of the Arcturian Corridor. We have spoken often of this Corridor. However, since you, our Ascending Ones, are now moving into a higher state of consciousness you can perceive higher frequency components of our message that were once beyond your power of perception. Hence, our (human and Arcturian) Corridor is expanding along with your perceptions: http://www.multidimensions.com/TheVision/books.html (Journey Through the Arcturian Corridor 1 through 4)

To further assist Gaia we Arcturians are in direct communication with many multidimensional beings presently wearing an Earth vessel. When we communicate we speak in Light Language. Light Language resonates beyond time, polarity, limitation, separation or fear. Since you must be free of fear in order to receive our messages, some are unable to perceive us. However, the higher Light is continually expanding your perceptions and filling you with Unconditional Love (the antidote for fear). Hence, more and more of those wearing Earth vessels are able to receive Light Language messages from the higher dimensions.

You can receive these messages through your fourth dimensional night body, or more consciously via meditations, channeling, or other creative endeavors. You are able to receive these higher dimensional messages because your consciousness is expanding into the consciousness of your higher expressions of SELF, as well as into your cellular consciousness. Through your cellular consciousness you will begin to consciously experience the cellular, atomic and sub-atomic level of your grounded Earth vessel.

At this point, you will begin to commune with your molecular Self by exploring and healing old issues and situations from your past that tell you that you are NOT the Captain of your Earth vessel. These limiting messages are at the core of third dimensional thinking. When you enter your unconscious to allow your past to heal your present, you confuse your third dimensional thinking.

Third dimensional thinking is also based on the present that appears to be outside of you. Therefore, whenever you go inside to ponder that past, which is hidden deep inside your subconscious, it further confuses your third dimensional thinking. Then, as you give credence to the lessons to be found within your past, a door opens to your past lives. These past lives are introductions to your perceiving yourself from beyond the barrier of time. Hence, your attachment to third dimensional thinking is further loosened.

The first “past lives” you choose to ponder will likely be those with unfinished business that you brought into this incarnation to finish. Hence, even your human history is beyond time, as it is stored in your unconscious mind. Once you release time to heal and complete unfinished lives, you gain the courage and wisdom to remember the past lives in which you completed you’re chosen mission and gained great insight and enlightenment.

The acknowledgement of these lives activates the memory of your Multidimensional SELF. Very often your unconscious mind is the archive for old memories that you could not resolve when they occurred in that timeline. However, with the wisdom, power and love of your Multidimensional SELF you have the ability to bring that experience into its conclusion. We refer to your unconscious mind as the archive for experiences from your past that you are too immature to process.

On the other hand, we refer to your subconscious mind as a composite of everything you have ever perceived, as well as any information your mind collects that cannot be consciously processed or acknowledged. Your conscious mind cannot always absorb all available information, as it would create an information overload. Therefore, the subconscious mind stores this information where it can be retrieved by the conscious mind when it needs to defend itself for survival or for higher cognitive purposes.

However, hidden deep inside your unconscious and subconscious is your Divine Child who carries the “instruction manual” for your current embodiment. These instructions are in Light Language sent only to you. Hence, the process of deciphering this Light Language requires that you first connect with higher expressions of your SELF before you look deep into your unconscious and subconscious to find your Divine Child who remembers everything!

When you look HIGH UP into your higher SELF while you simultaneously look DEEP DOWN into your unconscious and subconscious mind you can experience Unconditional Love and human emotion within the NOW. When you can close these polarities of spirit and matter with the power of your multidimensional perception, you enter the NOW of the ONE as you merge your Divine Child with your Higher Expression of SELF.

Experiencing your Alpha – Divine Child, and Omega – Higher SELF, confuses your 3D consciousness enough that you can jump out of time. Then the past of your unconscious and subconscious can no longer interfere with your present on 3D Earth. When you are fully merged with your NOW, you are able to perceive any third-dimensional thought-forms from your past as lessons that have guided you into your present. From this point of perception, you can easily liberate these injuries from your past with the power of Unconditional Love and by perceiving them as cherished teachers.

We see that all of you, our Multidimensional Masters, are preparing to expand your consciousness into the next frequency of reality. Before this NOW, you did not have that option, as the frequency of your reality was too low and infiltrated with fear. Because of the darkness of that reality and the restrictions that it placed on your consciousness, you could not believe that your higher perceptions were “real”.

Furthermore, you could not perceive your highest and lowest resonance of your Multidimensional SELF, as this process can only occur within the safety of Unconditional Love, which was rarely present on your reality within the last 2000 years. Thus, Unconditional Love was forgotten and re-written into a 3D format of conditional love. In this manner, the concept of love lost its true meaning.

However, now with your 97% DNA coming on line you are able to preview you highest Self and your super-subconscious at the same time. This expansion of perception is possible because of your expansion of consciousness. Simultaneously, your expansion of consciousness is possible because of your expanded perception. Also, the activation of your multidimensional DNA allows you to believe it is possible to perceive higher dimensions of reality.

It may appear that many humans are still asleep. However, they are beginning to consistently awaken due to the activation of the 97%DNA. This DNA expands your perceptions beyond the confines of time, space, separation and limitation. Simultaneously, as you expand your consciousness beyond the 3D matrix of time, space, polarity, separation and limitation this DNA is activated.

Once your multidimensional DNA is fully activated the process of transmutation of matter advances exponentially. The feedback loop of the higher Light having a frequency of matter that can contain it, while multidimensional DNA goes about the process of creating a vessel that can contain even higher frequencies of Light, begins a process of transmutations of third dimensional matter into multidimensional matter.

Of course, the multidimensional DNA was always within your Earth vessel as a latent reminder of your potential to return to your true multidimensional nature. However, this potential needed to be activated by the higher frequencies such as photons charged with particles of infrared, ultraviolet and gamma rays. These frequencies of Light, as well as frequencies still unknown or named to your world, make up the higher Light that is streaming into your world.

Humans have been doing some important research about the role of DNA on the evolution of the human species. Below is a short summary of this research:
In 1990, a group of Russian physicists, molecular biologists, biophysicists, geneticists, embryologists and linguists began a study of this “junk” DNA. Dr. Peter Gariaev PhD, who is a Biophysicist and Molecular Biologist, directed this research project. These scientists irradiated DNA samples with laser light. On screen, a typical wave pattern was formed. When they removed the DNA sample, the wave pattern did not disappear, it remained.

Many controlled experiments showed that the pattern continued to come from the removed sample, whose energy field apparently remained by itself. This effect is now called the phantom DNA effect. It is surmised that energy from outside of space and time still flows through the activated wormholes after the DNA was removed.

They determined that this DNA is also a complex, biological, micro-computer chip that communicates with its environment. Dr. Gariaev found that the basic structure of these DNA alkaline pairs is the same as that of human language. Thus, they can be influenced and reprogrammed solely by the thought waves in our environment. Dr. Gariaev and Dr. Poponin also discovered that there is a multidimensional field structure which surrounds our DNA chain.

Other studies were done by Dr. Bruce Lipton PhD who is an internationally recognized Cellular Biologist and a pioneer in a new field called Epigenics. In his book titled The Biology of Belief Dr. Lipton writes about his discovery that evolution is, in fact, driven by consciousness. The caterpillar and the butterfly have the exact same DNA. They are the exact same organism. But they are responding to a different frequency.

Dr. Lipton has discovered that it is not genes that control life at the cellular level. It is the mind’s perception of its environment. He coined the term “Spontaneous Evolution” because he has discovered that our DNA scans our environment for frequencies that are relevant to our existence, changes its structure, and then sends messages to reshape itself accordingly.
As we stated earlier in our message, many of you are ready to be co-creators of “our” Arcturian Corridor. The Corridor is not a place – it is an inter-dimensional corridor in which beings, as they are not all human, on the verge of Ascension can gather to connect, learn and remember the process of transmutation.

All of you who are on the cusp of this Ascension wave have had at least one experience of Ascension. However, in most of these experiences you released your consciousness from your third-dimensional form and soared into higher dimensions. These Ascensions were transmutations of consciousness. In this Ascension, you are not only transmuting your consciousness, but your physical AND your planetary body as well.

Thus, it is vital that you merge with your planetary consciousness so that you and Gaia can act as a team. Many of you have already gathered within the Arcturian Corridor to learn about inter-dimensional travel. Now, you will be learning about transmutation of your personal and planetary body. As you awaken your cellular consciousness, you will be able to deeply merge with Gaia, as well as assist us to implant our Corridor into the body of ascending Earth.

Your great, Multidimensional SELF is about to make a full appearance in your daily life. As you begin to perceive life from a higher perspective, you will send signals to your DNA that it is “time to enter your cocoon” and begin your transmutation. However, you, the Ascending Ones on Earth, will not be able to ONLY focus totally on your process of transmutation.

In fact, you will, and are now, called upon to perform your daily tasks while you are in the process of totally restructuring your thoughts, emotions, consciousness, DNA and Earth vessel. Fortunately, you will be able to call upon us, as well as your own higher expressions of SELF.

We shall return with more information,

Timelapse Video Shows Changing Face Of Planet
Sky News – Fri, May 10, 2013

http://youtu.be/vSxgoFMTucI

New timelapse video from space has been released showing how much places like Dubai, Shanghai and the Brazilian rainforest have changed over the last 30 years.

Satellites have captured how Dubai has risen from the sand, with its skyscrapers, vast hotel complexes, and shopping centres, and even extended into the sea with the world-famous Palm resort.

The 'Sin City' of Las Vegas has also expanded, as a bigger population moves further out into the desert, shrinking the nearby Lake Mead.

The rainforest in Brazil's Rondonia is pictured shrinking as trees are cut down by loggers and in China's Shanghai there are skyscrapers where there were once farming villages.

The video has been created from million of images taken by eight satellites dating all the way back to 1984.

It has been put together by Nasa and the US Geological Survey with help from Google.

The growing trend for cheese wedding cakes

Fruit cakes at weddings are being replaced with cheese variations, according to expert food blogger Jo Romero

The many-tiered, lavishly decorated fruit cake has been a feature of wedding celebrations for years. But suppliers are now reporting a trend for a different kind of wedding cake, made entirely out of cheese...

Want something classic? Opt for the Simply Traditional cheese cake [Yorkshire Dales Cheese Company]It’s an image that graces many a wedding album: the happy couple, poised and smiling, cutting into the first slice of a richly-iced, towering wedding cake.

But more couples are opting for cheese wedding cakes - whole cheeses piled on top of one another - for their ‘cake’.

Cheese wedding cakes are fairly new: the first ones sold in 2004. But the British Cheese Board says there’s been a steady growth in demand for the cheesy centerpiece, as many couples now choose it over the traditional sweet cake.

Cheese wedding cakes: what’s the attraction?

Cheese experts aren’t surprised. They say that there are many bonuses to having a cheese wedding cake.

Nigel White, secretary of the British Cheese Board told us, ‘Cheese wedding cakes offer a delicious, novel and cost effective alternative to the traditional fruit or sponge based cake which is not everyone’s cup of tea.’

And although a cheese centerpiece will set you back about the same amount as a traditional cake, they’re still frugal: ‘If the cutting of the cake comes straight after the wedding breakfast’, Nigel explains, ‘you can then serve it up as the cheese course – that’s two ticks on your wedding planner for the price of one’.

That's obviously important at a time when many wedding budgets are squeezed.

He also mentions that any leftover cheese can be taken home and frozen, presenting a ‘zero waste option’ for the big day.

Cheeses can also be chosen to represent important regions to the couple - for example where they met or were born, giving a personal touch.

Not just a lump of cheese

Why not try a Hearts Desire cheese wedding cake? [Yorkshire Dales Cheese Company]But if you’re imagining an unattractive pile of cheeses then you’d be wrong. Cheeses can be decorated with figs, grapes, ribbons, flowers, leaves and even feathers. And there are a huge number of colour combinations to choose from as well.

Josette Hill, founder of HRH Big Cheese Cake Company told Yahoo! that part of its success comes from couples wanting something ‘unique’ for their big day.

‘With a cheese wedding cake,’ she says, ‘you can create this by decorating the cake to their personal colour scheme - adding to the décor of the room while being a scrumptious delight.’ And cheeses are naturally colourful.

Take a nutty and vibrantly-coloured Red Leicester, or a bloomy green and white nettle-wrapped Cornish Yarg.

A speckled Blacksticks Blue would also add colour - and you could top the cake with a small white goat’s cheese or - perfect for the day - a heart-shaped, red-waxed Godminster Cheddar.

Could it ever fully replace the traditional sweet wedding cake?

Purely Wensleydale cheese wedding cake [Yorkshire Dales Cheese Company]But is all this excitement over cheese cakes here to stay? It would seem that it is.

In an age where newlyweds cut gothic, Halloween-inspired cakes, bite into a pile of doughnuts or even take a slicer into a pizza to mark their big day, tradition isn’t so widely observed as it once was.

Thanks to the human inclination for a sweet tooth, there will always be a place at weddings for the traditional fruit or sponge cake, but if people want to celebrate the start of their marriage with some fine, thoughtfully-chosen cheeses, then why not?

And why stop at weddings? Birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, housewarmings... you heard it here first.

Would you, or did you, choose a cheese wedding cake for your big day? Or do you prefer to stick with tradition and go for the sweet option? Let us know over on Twitter now.

What your sleeping style says about your relationship

Are you and your partner in sync? Just look at the way you sleep.......How do you tend to lie when you fall asleep?
Tonight, pay attention to the position you naturally adopt as you drift off - and take a look at your partner, too. According to a new study, your sleeping positions offer insights into your true personalities.

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service at the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, analysed six common sleeping positions and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.

Of course, we don't stay in one sleeping position all night. We move around two to four times an hour while we sleep. However, the researchers found that people generally spent the most time in the position they fell asleep in.
So the position that matters (your "preferred sleep position") is the one that you adopt spontaneously for comfort when falling asleep.

It seems that even when you're unconscious, your body language is busy sending out signals that may surprise you.
"The profile behind the posture is often very different from what we would expect," said Professor Idzikowski.

1. The Foetus (preferred sleeping position for 41% of the 1,000 people surveyed)
This is the characteristic womb position, where you lie curled on your side with your knees bent. Sleep researchers reckon that more than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position, and it is thought to be the optimal posture for a good night's sleep.

But what about those personality traits? Foetal sleepers tended to be tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. In dating, they're likely to be far more shy than their confident exterior suggests (sound familiar?), but they soon relax when they're in a relationship.

2. The Log (15%)
These are the sleepers who lie on their side without curling up into the fetal position. Personality links between this sleeping position, tend to be of an easy-going, sociable nature. Log sleepers enjoy being part of the in-crowd, and they mingle easily with new people.

They can make great partners because they don't bottle up their feelings and they get on well with your family and friends. However, their ability to socialise with anyone and everyone could leave you feeling a bit insecure at times.

3. The Yearner (13%)
Sleepers who lie on their side with their arms out in front are apparently most likely to have thoughtful, committed personalities. Yearners may seem noncommittal at first, which can make them infuriating to date.

But they're not sending mixed signals - they're simply wary of rushing into anything. They make excellent long-term partners, because once they've made a commitment they stick to it. It just takes them a while to get there!

4. The Soldier (8%)
Lying on your back with your arms by your side is a far less common sleeping position than you might expect. Good thing too."Those who lie on their back may end up snoring and breathing less well during the night," he said.

"It may not necessarily awaken the sleeper, but could cause a less refreshing night's sleep." And if it doesn't wake up the sleeper, it may well wake up whoever has to sleep next to them. When they're awake, however, people who sleep on their backs tend to be quiet and reserved, according to the researchers. It was also found that they set high standards for themselves and others. So if you sleep with a soldier and they snore, take some comfort from knowing that they're likely to be conscientious partners who treat you and the relationship with respect.

5. Freefall (7%)
These sleepers lie on their front with their head turned to the side and their hands round the pillow. The researchers found a link with a gregarious and even brash personality - at least outwardly.

Scratch the surface and you'll find someone who's nervy and thin-skinned, and who doesn't take well to criticism. Writer Janet Kinosian, author of The Well-Rested Woman (www.wellrestedwoman.com ), claims that Madonna sleeps in this position, and that it indicates "strong compulsive tendencies and stubbornness".

All of which points to someone who's charismatic, a bit of a handful and possibly the dominant partner in your relationship. Life with a freefall sleeper is unlikely to be boring.

6. Starfish (5%)
People who sleep on their backs with their arms up around the pillow were found to be unselfish and good at listening, though, as with soldier-sleepers, they were more likely to snore (well, nobody's perfect). Snoring aside, their supposed traits mark them out as excellent partners: attentive, intuitive and always ready to offer help when needed. If you sleep with a starfish, count your blessings and buy some earplugs.

Friends,
Please Go with the Link .......which is given below....

http://www.light-weaver.com/slide2/a.html

Dear Friends ~

Lately I have been trusting my guidance when I open a book to share something that may be of use to anyone here. I open at any page, and tonight I have opened Wayne Dyer's book - THERE'S A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM - on page 112 - Decontaminating Your Mind Fields of Energy. This excerpt is a few pages into the chapter ~

Dr. Valerie Hunt further describes it in her book, Infinite Mind: " Thoughts are events in the mind field that are available not only to the consciousness of the creator, but also to other minds. " She explains that our thoughts are not private but rather "field-public." This means that you do not think in a vacuum, but that your thoughts are created from transactions with other fields. Thoughts can be passed on from generation to generation not just by photographs, print, or the spoken word, but also by the strength of thoughts remaining in your mind fields.

The more dynamic your field of energy, the more capable you are of communicating and impacting your thoughts to others, and in being impacted yourself. How do you go about making your thoughts so dynamic and creative? I quote Dr. Valerie Hunt again. "One does not dwell upon the process nor does one struggle to get answers. One trusts the process of higher creative thought ... Such is the capacity of great healers, lecturers, clairvoyants, physicians and spiritual leaders when they enter expanded consciousness states." You can do this. You have the potential to keep your field of energy uncontaminated, and the potential to radiate a dynamic spiritual energy. Simply by your presence alone, vibrating in this mind field of creativity and peace, you can impact others.

Your intellect might protest and attempt to convince you that mind fields and silent communication of energy are nonsense. But once you see this at work you'll know. The intellect itself is too disconnected from etheric energy forces to readily accept such possibilities, but I have seen it work over and over in my own life. When I am able to consciously project love, understanding, and compassion to those in my immediate life space, I feel the shift in energy. I surrender my judgment or my desire to make my point and the mind field energy changes. Gradually I watch that difference in energy affect the other and enjoy the change within myself. My wife, Marceline, is a master at this.

DO NO HARM!

We seem to be living in a world that is getting less hospitable every day. Look closely at any endeavor our species has engaged in and it appears we are unaware of the harm we do, we ignore the harm we do, we intentionally do harm for our own gain, or sadly in some cases we do harm for our own pleasure and enjoyment.

Has no one taught us to do no harm?

If we haven't been taught to do no harm, we see no harm in doing harm. We cause harm and shrug it off. We cause harm and laugh about it. We cause harm and brag about it.

Sadder still, our children bear witness to our actions and never learn to do no harm themselves. Above all else we must teach our children, by example and instruction, this basic moral principle of life.

We must begin to make better choices and treat each other, the other creatures who share this planet with us, and this planet we call home with greater respect and compassion.

We believe that the first and most basic moral law is, "Do no harm." Because we can feel pain and suffering, we can imagine the pain and suffering of others, and we can act accordingly to minimize the harm we cause.

What does "do no harm" mean? Ultimately it means to give thoughtful consideration to our actions. “Do no harm” simply means to consider how our actions may affect the world we all share, to be compassionate in our dealings with all creatures, and not to thoughtlessly despoil our planet.

Doctors are asked to “first do no harm,” why not lawyers, businessmen, religious leaders and politicians? Why not us? Why not now?

It sounds like a simple idea because it is a simple idea, but it may be effective over the long run. Will “do no harm” solve all the problems in our world? Perhaps not, but this is an effort to decrease the suffering in the world and to increase the kindness.

We hope that “do no harm” becomes that little voice that guides our actions.

And we hope you will join us and spread the message "Do no harm."

Show everyone you care and use “Do no harm” to sign-off in your correspondence in place of "Best Wishes", "Yours" or "Regards."

If you have a web site, be proud of your support and add the words “Do No Harm” to the top of your home page where everyone will see it.

Be bold and creative in thinking of ways to expose as many as possible to the “Do No Harm” message, but please, do no harm in doing so.

It is not necessary to mention the source of the message. This is certainly a case where the message is far more important than the messengers. All we ask is that you practice do no harm and take every opportunity to share the words "do no harm" with others.

If you wish to include this essay or link to the “Do No Harm” web page, please do; or if you wish to change the wording or write your own, that's equally OK with us. If we are to change our world for the better, we simply must share the “Do No Harm” message with family and friends, with neighbors and our community.

                                                 Sometimes, all you really need to do is ask:
                                                               Please . . . do no harm!

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** o O o ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Members, 

I wish my cerebral concussion healed. 

I've had a concussion for 45 years ago. Right after that accident, I came to awake after 1 hour. 

Now I am almost 50  years old.  I do not know what I had done 

during my past life. In this life, I had many accident including 2 time travel accident, hit by the truck causing my 

body raised in the air for a few seconds,  When 22 years old, some guy mistakenly hit  right side of the brain with his 

badminton racket while while I walked on the street. After that, I could not hear the sound clearly and concentrate on 

listening, especially cognition loss. 

I had a lot of accident or hit on my head. I do not know why it happens to me. 

Please pray for me,

How to find free Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK

Finding free Wi-Fi hotspots can save you money on your monthly phone bills - as well as providing a useful way to get online on a laptop if you need to work on the go.

Recombu – 4 hours ago

Finding free Wi-Fi hotspots can save you money on your monthly phone bills - as well as providing a useful way to get online on a laptop if you need to work on the go.

There are lots of ways to get your hands on free Wi-Fi - ranging from using an Apple Store's free network, to sitting at a bus stop and hooking up to a BT Wi-Fi hotspot.

There are over 4.5 million public Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK and Ireland, all waiting for you to get connected. Here’s how to do it.

Use an app

The quickest way to find yourself a hotspot is to use an app. For iOS, a safe bet is Wifi@, which we particularly like due to the fact it has an offline database, so you don’t need to be connected to the web to find Wi-Fi.

Android users should fire up Wi-Fi Finder , a clever app that can use a phone call, rather than data, to show you nearby Wi-Fi hotspot locations. Both are iOS and Android versions are free.

Alternatively you can search for hotspots via your phone’s browser at myhotspots.co.uk. This website lists hotspots via town and city, making searching even easier.

Find free Wi-Fi on the High Street

Pretty much any major high street franchise has free Wi-Fi on offer. Right now, McDonalds, Starbucks, Pret a Manger, Costs and plenty of others, all will give you free internet while you eat.

If you don’t fancy eating, then hotel chains like Premier Inn offer 30 mins of free Wi-Fi to guests. Or if you are really in the mood for saving cash, you can always use any Apple store’s Wi-Fi connection.

Use your phone contract’s Wi-Fi allowance

O2 includes unlimited BT Wi-Fi access with most of monthly contracts. This means you can take advantage of its 4 million plus network of Wi-Fi hotspots across the UK for free. Vodafone also uses BT’s network and includes 2GB of usage with most pay monthly contracts.

BT Wi-Fi is particularly good for those living outside major cities, as a lot of its hotspots are based at bus stops, where you might not have any 3G reception on your phone.

Virgin is offering free internet access on London underground to Virgin Mobile, Virgin Media, EE and Vodafone customers, but will also let non subscribers join for a small fee. The Cloud is another favourite, which will give you 30 minutes of free connectivity in most restaurants and public places. O2 customers get unlimited Cloud usage.

Sign up for a Wi-Fi subscription service

Even subscription services such as Boingo offer freebies - if you sign up to a Boingo hotspot in airports such as Gatwick, Heathrow, Edinburgh and Glasgow, you get 15 minutes free.

Failing that, you can, of course, cough up - it's far cheaper going with a large worldwide service such as Boingo, than paying a lot of smaller companies. Boingo offers up Wi-Fi worldwide from over 600,000 hotspots. Pricing starts at around £1.50 for Pay as You Go internet minutes and go up to around £40 monthly for unlimited global access. It even includes a Wi-Fi finder app to help you locate Boingo hotspots.

BT Wi-Fi also allows non O2 and Vodafone customers to use its hotspots. Handy if you are in the UK as its network is extensive. 90 minutes is £5.99 or you can pay 18p per minute.

How to get your money back after a scam

If you have been scammed, you haven't received goods you ordered, or a product isn't as it was described to you, you could easily get your money back.

The police and Financial Services Authority admit that they're usually powerless to get your money back after you've been scammed. However, there's a way to do so yourself in many cases, and with relative ease.

If you make any purchases of between £100 and £30,000 and pay for it, or even just part of it, using your credit card, your card provider should pay you back for the entire loss in the event of scam.

It isn't just obliged to do this for scams either. Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act ensures that the card provider must reimburse you if a retailer doesn't deliver the goods or service, or if the product is not as described.

How customers are getting their money back

Credit card companies don't always agree when a customer makes a section 75 request to be reimbursed. Often, customers then complain to the free Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). It's these borderline cases that give us the most insight into when and where this legal right can be used.

The Ombudsman has just published some recent examples of its decisions relating to section 75. Here are some of the customers who succeeded in getting their money back.

Broken promises
Mrs S paid £3,500 for a holiday club on her credit card on the assurance that she would get the whole membership fee back after five years. On receiving the paperwork, however, she realised she'd been tricked.

She complained to the FOS when her lender didn't believe her “recollection of events”. The FOS found public accounts of others taking legal action against the holiday club, so it considered there to be enough evidence and justification for the card provider to reimburse Mrs S, and ordered it to do so.

Ill-fitting suits
Mr C paid £800 for a tailor-made suit on his credit card. When the finished suit was delivered to him, it didn't fit properly. He asked the tailors to make alterations, but they didn't show up for the appointment and Mr C had no luck when he complained further.

The lender refused to reimburse Mr C, but the FOS saw evidence from both sides, including photos of Mr C wearing the badly fitting suit. It decided that Mr C had done everything he could to get the tailors to correct their mistakes, and so it ordered the lender to reimburse him.

Paying a deposit below the £100 limit
Miss N paid a £99 deposit on her credit card for a £1,000 sofa but, before delivery, the retailer went out of business. Her lender refused to compensate her under section 75, saying she had spent less than £100, so she complained to the FOS.

Although Miss N had only lost £99, the purchase price was £1,000, which means she is covered by section 75. The FOS ordered the card provider to reimburse Miss N.

Make sure you understand section 75

Not everyone is successful when they claim under section 75, even if they take a complaint to the FOS. Indeed, Phillipa Cook, spokeswoman for the Ombudsman, told me that probably a little under half of the section 75 complaints the Ombudsman hears are successful.

We can learn from other customers' mistakes.

Paying a deposit below the £30,000 limit
Mrs T used her credit card to pay a deposit of £3,000 to a building company for an overseas property that was going to cost £162,000. The property was never completed and the building company didn't return her calls. Her lender refused to reimburse her and she complained to the FOS.

Unfortunately, it's not the size of the deposit that counts for section 75, but the value of the entire purchase. Since that was over the £30,000 limit, the FOS rejected Mrs T's complaint.

Changing your mind
Mr W joined a holiday club, but later changed his mind when he realised he could pay less by shopping around for holidays by himself. He asked his card provider to reimburse him. When it refused, he complained to the FOS.

The FOS decided that the holiday club had not given false or misleading information to Mr W, nor had it breached the contract. Finding that there are better deals elsewhere is not grounds for section 75, so it rejected Mr W's complaint.
