Info | Compact Disk Made
CDs consist of 99% clear polycarbonate plastic. The reflective layer, protective layer and screen print comprise the remaining 1% of the disc.
- A disc is created from molten polycarbonate and digital information is stamped on the top of the disc, while it is still near melting point, using a die with microscopic bumps. These bumps are known as “pits and lands”.
- After the information is molded into the poly- carbonate, a reflective foil layer is applied using a process called sputtering or wet silvering. This layer reflects the laser back to the player, so it’s integrity is extremely important. The layer is usually silver, but can be made of gold or platinum.
- A clear lacquer coating is applied to seal the reflective layer and prevent oxidation. This layer is very thin and offers little protection from top side scratches.
- Finally the artwork is screen-printed on the top of the disc.
Pits and Lands are imprinted into the disc to indicate a one or a zero. A laser beam is sent from the player to the disc and the reflective layer reflects it back to the reader and the ones and zeros are translated by the player.
Recordable discs have a photosensitive dye type layer instead of the stamped information layer. This layer, when exposed to a certain light, will make an impression of a pit into the layer.
Re-recordable discs use a layer that allows the laser to polarize the photosensitive layer back and forth between a visible pit to an invisible pit.
How a Blu-ray is Made
Unlike current DVDs, which use a red laser to read and write data, Blu-ray uses a blue laser (which is where the format gets its name). A blue laser has a shorter wavelength (405 nanometers) than a red laser (650 nanometers). The smaller beam focuses more precisely, enabling it to read information recorded in pits that are only 0.15 microns (µm) (1 micron = 10-6 meters) long — this is more than twice as small as the pits on a DVD. Plus, Blu-ray has reduced the track pitch from 0.74 microns to 0.32 microns. The smaller pits, smaller beam and shorter track pitch together enable a single-layer Blu-ray disc to hold more than 25 GB of information — about five times the amount of information that can be stored on a DVD.
lu-ray discs not only have more storage capacity than traditional DVDs, but they also offer a new level of interactivity. Users will be able to connect to the Internet and instantly download subtitles and other interactive movie features. With Blu-ray, you can:
• record high-definition television (HDTV) without any quality loss
• instantly skip to any spot on the disc
• record one program while watching another on the disc
• create playlists
• edit or reorder programs recorded on the disc
• automatically search for an empty space on the disc to avoid recording over a program
• access the Web to download subtitles and other extra features
Each Blu-ray disc is about the same thickness (1.2 millimeters) as a DVD. But the two types of discs store data differently. In a DVD, the data is sandwiched between two polycarbonate layers, each 0.6-mm thick. Having a polycarbonate layer on top of the data can cause a problem called birefringence, in which the substrate layer refracts the laser light into two separate beams. If the beam is split too widely, the disc cannot be read. Also, if the DVD surface is not exactly flat, and is therefore not exactly perpendicular to the beam, it can lead to a problem known as disc tilt, in which the laser beam is distorted. All of these issues lead to a very involved manufacturing process.
How a DVD is Made
DVDs are made in different ways depending on the amount of information that is recorded on the disc. DVDs may be single or double layered and single or double layered double sided.
Single Layer DVDs (DVD-5 – 4.7GB)
These DVDs are made the same way as a CD with one additional polycarbonate layer added between the label and the pits and lands.
Double Layered DVDs (DVD-9 – 8.5GB)
Double layered DVDs have a semi reflective layer and a reflective layer giving two layers to store information.
Double Sided DVDs (DVD-10 – 9.4GB)
Double sided DVDs consist of two discs bonded back to back with the reflective layers in the middle and both sides are repairable. Double sided DVDs use a different size of micro-abrasive polishing papers to prevent the manufacturer’s label area from being removed during the repair process.
Double Sided/Double Layered DVDs (DVD-18 – 17.1GB)
Double sided/double layered DVDs are simply two double layered discs bonded back to back.
All about Infinity Pools
What is it that makes your home sit notches above the regular neighborhood homes? What is it that can cause a stir among your social group? What is it that is the ideal retreat after a sultry long summer day? Definitely the answer to these questions is a swimming pool. It becomes even better if you plan to get an infinity pool. Getting an infinity pool adds an entirely different look to your backyard. Although it takes a lot of effort to get your landscape done up to accommodate an infinity pool, after the project is done, it’s totally worth it.
Infinity pool – What is it?
Infinity pools are pools where the water seems to be falling off like a sheet, just like natural waterfalls. They are also known as zero-edge pools, vanishing edge pools, and disappearing edge pools. The beauty of infinity pools is the fact that they look so good that they can give even a modest space a total face-lift Most world class hotels and spas are opting for this type of pools. Origination of such pools can be traced back to Paris. The mechanism behind these pools is such that although the cost of these pools is a bit more people seem to preferring it a lot.
How does it work?
An infinity pool might look like the water is falling off an invisible edge, but you won’t be able to listen to the sound of the falling water. This is so because the water in reality does not fall anywhere. The water which spills out is collected in a basin, also called a catch pool. This basin or catch pool is located a few feet below the edge of the pool so that it is not view.
The water collected here is then recycled and sent back into the pool. The mechanism behind this has to be solid and reliable to make the pool functional. The water level is always to be maintained at the calculated capacity and the construction support of the infinity pool has to be strong as well. Finally the construction of the edges need to flawless.
Highlights of infinity pools
The main USP of infinity pools is no doubt the stunning looks. The concept of introducing swimming pools to enhance the ambiance of a place has got a whole new meaning with the advent of these zero edge pools. They look great and are the best option if your home is surrounded by great scenic views. It is not a run of mill, kidney-bean shaped pool placed right in the middle of the backyard. Infinity pools combine style, status, and modernity to be irresistible to all the people planning to get a pool for their homes.
Info | The Bombproof Wrist Watch
Okay now here is something really interesting, how about a watch that can withstand up to 10 pounds of C4 in one piece! Amazing isn’t it? It can also resist 300 bar pressure (that is 3000 meters of water pressure). This ultra durable watch is entitled to be the world’s toughest watch.
To tell you something interesting, there is no big company involved in the creation of this tough time ticker. Its just a one man show by Michael Barahona Fernandez who creates all of the watch case parts in his Berlin workshop. Since its a time consuming job so he is able to produce just few of these watches every month.
For the Triggerfish Bronze A2 model, the watchmaker used shock-resistant CuSn8 phosphor-bronze, yes the very same material that is used in bridge load bearing plates. Moreover, it has a 10 mm domed polycarbonate crystal and stainless steel for the detachable back cap. The watch is 45 mm wide and 20 mm thick. And yes, its a bit heavier than usual watches but its extreme durability explains the additional weight. Fernandez arranged some tests with the help of U.S military.
The marines installed a 10 pounds C4 explosive on a bombing range and then placed the Triggerfish Bronze A2 just 1 meter away from it. After the successful detonation, it was found that the watch just had a few scratches and a missing leather strap. In short, the watch survived the blast.It was also observed that the timing mechanism was disturbed from its position but the maker says that he has developed a new holder that will not let this happen in future.
In case you are interested in one of these, the price tag is 2000$.

Info | Rapture Career Advise
If you are reading this post right now I guess, like me, you are still here on Earth… unless of course there is Wi-Fi in heaven.
For some of the more devout, the letdown of not ascending into heaven must be great, and for that I do sympathize. Especially when I read an article yesterday in the International Business Times that explained how devastating the non-Rapture really was for some believers:
“There were people who sold their entire savings to live up the last days on earth and then rapture to heaven. Now, they will have to take care of rather more mundane realities — like finding a house to stay and paying bills.”
Source:
Inner circle member of Family Radio says Camping owes apology to public; preacher ‘mystified’: wife.
There are other reports of Harold Camping’s more devout followers spending their life savings, selling their homes and even quitting their jobs. Although things may seem bleak for them right now, it’s not the end of the world.
Much like the Washington Post’s article discussing what we can learn from Harold Camping’s failed May 21, 2011 prediction, We also like to offer a few pieces of advice for those followers who now have to put their careers and financial lives back together.
1) Update Your Resume – When embarking on a job search you will need to update your resume. It’s probably a good idea to remove all the ‘End-of-world / Rapture’ references, because realistically an employer may be hesitant to hire you if there is any chance that you may suddenly disappear one day. A professional resume writer can help to update your resume and get you an interview.
2) Keep Your Skill Set Current – Consider how a major disappointment can teach you to be prepared the next time. By keeping your skill set updated you will not only be more employable should you choose to change careers, but you will also be in a better position for when it comes time for promotional decisions.
3) Expand Your Job Search – As we mentioned in a previous post about finding a job, it is a good idea to not limit yourself to job boards alone. Networking, whether real life networking or social networking on the Internet, remains one of the best ways to hear about job opportunities. You can also seek out a recruiter who can help you to find a job.
4) Brush Up On Your Interview Skills – In previous posts we talked about the importance of being prepared for the interview. Getting a feel for what kind of interview questions you may be asked and learning how to properly answer them will go a long way to securing you a new job in the post-rapture world.
We understand that times are tough, so we would like to offer you a chance to win a professionally written resume for free. All you need to do is fill out the short survey and supply us with your email.
Info | Install And Run Android OS On Windows
Do you want to try Android on your Windows device, get a taste of the latest Android release for testing or fun, or even for developing Android apps? Whatever your needs may be, here is how you can try the latest Android on Windows.
As Android is an open source mobile technology and platform, that means, anyone can access its code or system images from the AOSP (Android Open Source Project). And that’s what you need to have for running Android virtually on Windows.
Android can be easily virtualized on a Windows PC. It’s as easy as downloading some tools, installing, configuring and running them. What you need is the right procedures which we are going to show you here, plus some solutions to troubleshoot common problems.
Note: This tutorial was written to virtualize Android 4.2.2 JellyBean using 64-bit Android SDK Bundle running on Windows 8, but steps will be similar for any other Android release, or Windows architecture or release.
Prerequisites
Let’s start by looking over the requirements for running Android in a virtual environment.
(1)
Windows PC: A computer running XP or any later version of Windows operating system will do fine, i.e., XP, Vista, 7, 8, or any later version.
(2)
Java: Java 6 or later must be installed on your computer, because it’s required by the Android SDK Bundle. Install the latest available Java version for your platform.
(3)
Android SDK Bundle: The latest version of Android SDK bundle is required. Download and extract the file into a directory. You will see a folder named "adt-bundle-windows-…" This folder is referred to as the “Android SDK Folder" for the remainder of this tutorial. It contains two folders named “eclipse" and “sdk", and one file named “SDK Manager.exe".
(4)
Android SDK packages: Open “SDK Manager.exe" from the Android SDK Folder. Check “Android 4.2.2 (API 17)" in the SDK Manager. This gives you the necessary SDK packages for running Android in a virtualized environment.
Note: You can decrease the download size by unchecking unnecessary sub-packages of the Android release. Click on the extend button (>) beside the Android release. Check only these sub-packages:
- SDK Platform
- ARM EABI v7a System Image
- Google APIs.
Then, click on Install packages… to download and install the required packages.
Create And Run Android Virtual Device
Time to create your first Android Virtual Device.
(1)
Open “SDK Manager.exe" from the Android SDK Folder. Browse to Tools > Manage AVDs. The Android Virtual Device Manager will open.
(2)
Click on the New… button (top right) and you will see the Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD) window appear. Configure the new AVD as per the following configurations:
AVD Name: Any name
Device: Galaxy Nexus (4.65", 720 x 1280: xhdpi)
Target: Android 4.2.2 – API Level 17
CPU/ABI: ARM (armeabi-v7a)
Keyboard: Checked
Skin: Checked
Front Camera: None
Back Camera: None
Memory Options – RAM: 768
Memory Options – VM Heap: 32
Internal Storage: 200 MiB
SD Card – Size: 500 MiB
Emulation Options- Snapshot: Unchecked
Emulation Options – Use Host GPU: Unchecked
(3)
You can now view it in the list of existing AVDs in the AVD Manager. Congratulations on creating your first Android Virtual Device!
To start this up, select the AVD in the AVD Manager. Click on Start, then Launch. Wait for it to boot up then enjoy.
And there you have it, Android running on your Windows PC. Click around and get a feel of the Android interface (if this is your first time) before we get to the next section: trying out Android apps.
App Installation In AVD
While Google Play Store is the primary source of Android apps, unfortunately it is not present in the Android Virtual Device (AVD). However, there is a method to install apps in the AVD using Android Debug Bridge (ADB). We’ll also show you how to uninstall unwanted apps.
Installing An App
We’re going to run by you the steps required to install an app. We’re using the UC Browser Mini as an example.
(1)
With AVD running, download the apk file for UC Browser Mini from AppsZoom (search for your app, open the page for your app from the search results, click on Download tab in the opened page, and click on the option to direct download APK file).
(2)
Copy the downloaded file to "Android SDK Folder\sdk\platform-tools".
(3)
Open the command prompt from the Start menu or screen then type:
cd <Android SDK Folder file path>\sdk\platform-tools
For example, Android SDK Folder on our test computer was located at “D:\And\adt-bundle", so the command changes to “cd D:\And\adt-bundle\sdk\platform-tools".
(4)
Type “adb start-server" at the prompt. It should report that the daemon started successfully.
(5)
Type “adb devices" at the prompt. It should report a connected device with “emulator". If no device is reported, then you may not have started the AVD. Restart, wait for the android’s home screen, and re-type “adb-devices" at the prompt.
(6)
Type “adb install <APK File>" at the prompt, after changing <APK File> with the name of the .apk file (of the android app) you want to install in the AVD. For example, the .apk file on our test sytem was named “ucb-mini.apk", so the command changes to adb install ucb-mini.apk.
(7)
Wait while ADB pushes the APK file into the AVD and installs it. It might take some time depending on the size of the app which you’re installing. When the installation is complete, It should report success.
Uninstalling An App
Inside the AVD, Go to Settings from the app launcher, then to Applications > Downloaded. Click on the app you want to remove, then click Uninstall. Click OK to confirm then wait. That’s it.
Troubleshooting
Lastly, here are some of the problems you might encounter and the suggested solutions.
Internet not working in the AVD.
Please check if your firewall or internet security program is blocking Internet access for the program named “emulator-arm.exe".
Can’t set the RAM greater than 768MiB for the AVD.
Setting the RAM for AVD greater than 768MiB on Windows will cause the AVD to crash because of non-allocation of required memory due to platform restrictions. Please choose a maximum of 768MiB if you are experiencing crashes or errors.
AVD running too slow or hangs
Running the latest releases of Android on 768MiB of RAM can make it slow. Additionally, it will become slower if you’ve installed many apps in the AVD. If you need a fast and responsive AVD, then create a new AVD with an older release of Android (Android 4.0 ICS or older versions will run better).
Info | Why Water make Unhealthy
Water is one of those things just assumed to be good for you at all times, in all quantities. It's up there on the list of quintessentially nutritious foods and drinks with apples and broccoli and oatmeal. Water is so important and awesome, Michelle Obama wants you to drink more of it and she has created a whole new campaignaround encouraging you to do so.
While most people in developed countries are lucky enough not to have to worry about where to find clean, safe drinking water, H2O isn't taken for granted everywhere. Each year, more than 3.4 million people die worldwide because of water supply, sanitation and hygiene issues that lead to diseases, infections and malnutrition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Life-threatening illnesses aside, there are still a handful of issues with your everyday water. Here are a few of those troublemakers, plus how to avoid them.
Bisphenol A
There's some research to suggest that this chemical, commonly known as BPA, found in some plastic water bottles, can leach into food and drinks, and may pose health risks especially to infants and children, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Luckily, more and more BPA-free bottles are available now. (However, some caution that even BPA-free plastics may still leach unwanted chemicals into your water when exposed to sunlight or microwaves or dishwashers, NPR reported.)
Not Washing Your Bottle
A reusable bottle -- stainless steel, perhaps? -- is a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to one-time-use bottles or cups, but you've got to keep it clean. Bacteria like to hang out in warm, wet places, after all, so screwing the lid on the mostly-empty bottle in your office, then refilling it the next morning is basically laying out the "Welcome" mat. Luckily, all it takes to stay safe is a regular wash with hot, soapy water -- and be sure to leave it open to dry, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Drinking From The Shower Head
Speaking of warm and wet, it's time to clean your shower head. Yep, the spout is prime breeding ground for bacteria that go flying into the air when you turn on the shower. Luckily for most healthy bathers, this is less dangerous than it is merely gross, but people with compromised immune systems could be at risk, Health.com reported. Do yourself a favor and fight the temptation to sip from that fountain.
Crystal Light
We count 12 ingredients on the label of this "natural" flavoring. Twelve. Ditch theartificial sweeteners and other additives for a slice of fresh lemon.
Drinking Way Too Much
It's relatively difficult to do, but it is possible to drink too much water. Seriously overhydrating leads to what's called hyponatremia, when sodium levels in the body drop so low, cells begin to swell, according to the Mayo Clinic. Untreated, hyponatremia could result in seizures and coma. But it takes truly overcompensatory gulping to reach that point, which is why refueling marathon runners are among the more common hyponatremia sufferers. Keep this rule of thumb in mind: Don't drink to the point where you feel full from water alone, Shape.com reported.
Caffeine
In and of itself, caffeine may actually do you some good, including improving memory and concentration. But when you add a jolt to something as harmless as a bottle of water, which is what companies like Avitae and Water Joe have done, it's easy to overdo it -- and fast. Where you might sensibly stop after a couple of cups of coffee, you might absent-mindedly continue to sip at your caffeinated H2O to quench your thirst, and before you know it, find yourself in the irritable, sleepless, restless realm of heavy caffeine use.
Info | Removed The Google Plus Comment System
The truth is, some friends who come to my blog and reading my blog posts frequently, wants to know the simple reason why I removed the Google plus commenting system on my blog. Hey! I only removed the G+ comment system because of one little problem, yes! Just one little problem and as I proceed, I’ll explain for your better understanding…
 |
Some weeks back, I talked about the G+ commenting system, how to integrate it and the benefits it holds. I even installed it on my blog as a tester to see how it goes because I don’t want to know what other bloggers think or has been saying about the plug-in, rather I want to test it myself and see how it goes. Truth be told, after trying it out, I did enjoyed every moment using that little but yet powerful comment box (system) because it did do things unimaginable 
If it does things I like then why did I removed it?
You know, before I tested it out I saw different bloggers from different blogs that gave their own opinions and most of these opinions are as follows;
-The comments made by your commentators will not be yours
-You will be giving Google more members 
-Your precious comments will be lost when you remove the comment system on your blog.
While all this are true, I still did go ahead and use the comment box on this blog to see what i’ll personally find. After my weeks of testing, I did love it but every good thing must always have a downside right? The only drawback was the “lack of comment moderation”.
I am getting some good returns of traffic and if you are getting some good amount of traffic, bulk of spammers will surely visits you from time to time and if your comment system is not moderated, you will be bombarded with spam comments.
The main reason why I remove the Google comment system on my blog:
I was doing my regular weekly cleanup you know, repairing my databases, deleting broken links found on my blog. As I was cleaning the pages, I accidentally entered one of my earlier blog post and found out that my G+ comment system has been bombarded with spam comments by spammers 
. I decided to check some more blog post and then I realized that my blog is being spammerlize (brought the English up ). If you have a blog with more than 50 or 150 pages you will know that it is almost impossible moderating each of your blog post. Instead of wasting my precious time removing those spam comments, I removed the comment system to stop the spamming because if I don’t remove it, it’ll still happen over and over again.

Main Point:
I did not remove the comment system because it was not performing its task, I simply removed it because of the lack of comment moderation it possess.
I need something that I can be able to control (moderation wise). I don’t care if I bring more member to Google plus, I don’t care about who owns the comment, but if they can build a moderation system like the native WordPress comment box, I will definitely love the G+ commenting system even more because “to me” they have all the SEO benefits.

This article is going to help you on that i.e. how to make use of YouTube for promoting your business. Below are mentioned top 10 ways by which you can use Youtube in your marketing campaign.
1. Come up with your own channel on YouTube
Creating an own channel for your business is the first and basic thing that you have to do after entering into the YouTube and before posting your videos on the website. Generally, a channel will be automatically created when you sign up with YouTube. The thing is you have to maintain it properly. Within the channel, you can create your own profile, organize contents and create playlists.
2. Choose perfect account type suitable to your Marketing Campaign
You will be given an option during the sign up process of YouTube to select an account type for your YouTube account. Different account types will be there and the basic type is standard. Each type has its specific role on the website. For example, ‘a director account’ lets you produce your own web videos and allows adding custom logo to your profile. Similarly, each account type has its unique feature and you should select the one based on your business needs.
3. Create short videos
The best way to make your users to watch your video is to make it short and sweet. The running time of video should be 5 minutes or less than that. If you have long videos to play, then break them into different segments and attach them in the playlist.
4. Tag videos properly
After creating your video or uploading from any sources, just make sure that you have organized your video under perfect category and tagged it. You can always check with other videos about how they are tagged and categorized, which will finally pay off. It may not be possible to fit your content exactly under one category, but still a related category will work when doing a similar search through keywords option.
5. Create playlists

It makes the user experience great and easy in searching for your channel videos and they will sure express their gratitude for it.
6. Use YouTube promotion facilities
You do not have to wait to see who has visited your profile and watched your videos. YouTubeoffers you some self-promotion facilities. Make use of that to promote your videos. Such a facility is sending emails to the users. Similarly, you can create bulletins from your profile or from other people’s channels. Bulletins are nothing but short messages to the users.
7. Create video responses for other user’s videos
It is so simple to create video responses. Instead of commenting on a video of other users, you can create video responses right below the main video player. You can even record your video using your webcam or upload from your previous videos. However, make sure that your response is related to the content of the main video.
8. Join Groups
YouTube has a great community groups online. You can search in YouTube for different groups and you can join a category that is related to your marketing campaign. You will get more audience in a group. People joining your group will view your content and it directly increases your traffic.

10. Active sharing
It is a latest feature that lets you drive more traffic to your content. This feature will make your name visible on the side of the video that you are watching. If another user who is watching the same video gets curious about your detail, then he will visit your profile page to see your videos. This is another way of attracting users and drying traffic to your content.

Info | The Best Time To Write Blog Posts
Happy new week to you my valued reader and, I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I’m happy I’m back again for us to continue where we stopped, the ailment that caught me recently really took me away for a bit long but, thank God it’s all over now.
Now, based on the question I asked on the title of this post, I know the answer will certainly be different for each of us but, I just wanted to share with you something I discovered for some time now, you know it’s all about sharing our experiences right? I guess.

There is something that really caught my attention to write this post, it’s not as if this is the first time it happened but, I never made up my mind to write about it until now so, let’s get the point.
It’s all about writing blog posts and I ask you again……What time do you normally write your posts? I hope you will answer this question on the comment thread.
I discovered that it’s normally very easy for me to write in the morning, I mean, very early in the morningthan any other time of the day.
Initially, I can write at any time especially late in the night because, that’s the time I’m always less busy and have less distraction so, I usually utilize it to work on my blogs but recently, those time no longerwork for me when it comes to writing.
I can certainly do any other thing on my blogs but, not to write a blog post. I’ve tried so many times to write at night as usual but, each time I opened my PC and word document to write, the inspiration will not just be there, I will always find enough reason not to write.
However, the next thing I normally do after I’ve done every other thing on my blog is to go to bed. This same thing also happened last night, I tried everything I could to write, all to no avail in fact, what you’re reading now is not what I planned to publish here today but, I just changed my mind to tell you about this rather.
Why am Writing About This Now?
I know that there is a thing called writers block and many of us surfers from it at one point or the other in fact, most people don’t even know how to handle it.
What am I saying? The reason you normally have writers block may be attributed to the time you always choose to write, do you agree with me?
Yes, think about it based on my own experience. I can’t write very well at any other time except early in the morning and since I discovered that, I don’t know what writers block is again. Once I open my PC to write in the morning, the ideas will just be flowing and flowing unstoppably until I decide to stop now, isn’t that amazing?
This is the same reason why I’m asking you, when do you normally write your own blog posts? You really need to answer this question because; it might be a solution to your writers block problem you know.
If you normally experience writers block whenever you’re writing, why don’t you change your writing time and see what happens next? If you normally write in the afternoon, why don’t you try writing in the evening or at night?
However, I also noticed from my experiments that, majority of writers also prefer writing early in the morning than any other time of the day so, why is it so?
I don’t know really but, I think it’s because our brain is usually very calm and fresh at that time of the day because, we just woke up and have not had any form of distraction or something to think about but, after going through all the daily struggles, we normally feel weak and tired and therefore, our brain might not be able to function well again when we try using it in writing.
I don’t know if this is the reason but, that’s my own thinking.
Finally, I think I’ve already made my points, what I now want you to do now is simply to give what I said here a shot. If you finds it difficult and challenging to write at any given time then, why don’t change the time and see if that works for you, it’s all about trying so, JUST DO IT.
Don’t forget to answer my question and also tell me your own opinion based on this post via the comment thread; I always love to hear your opinions. And please, share this post with your friends if you enjoyed it, use the buffer button to tweet.
