    Do You Speak Real Estate?
    Anyone interested in real estate should be able to talk the talk. Here is a list of common phrases and words with a short explanation. Use it as a reference:Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). A type of mortgage loan whose interest rate changes periodically up or down, usually once or twice a year. They are tied to an interest rate index like 11th District Cost of Funds.Annual Percentage Rate (APR). Everything financed in your mortgage loan package (interest, l

    How to Use Bonuses to Boost Your Sales
    To boost your online sales, create partnerships with colleagues, and increase the overall value of your product or service, add a bonus (or several) to your offering.Here are 5 ideas for bonuses you can use to increase your sales:1. Offer a special report.Take several of your articles with a common theme that complements your offering and compile them into a special report. If you don't have articles that seem to fit, think of additional information that you did n
    What about security for WLAN? Today wireless networks are at least secure as wired. You only have to use right tools and configurations.

    Physical security is most important part of security. If you do not have physical access to network, you can not use it. If you can not plug cable you do not have network. This is situation in wired word.

    The biggest security problem, in any type wireless network, is lack of physical security.

    802.11 standards use Authentication as replacement for physical security. Problem is that application uses WEP as encryption.

    WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy has never deserved its name. It does not take more than 2 minutes, with cracking tools, to break WEP.

    First WEP versions have used 64-bit shared key. 40 bits are for a shared secret and 24 bits are for IV (initialization vector). IV is used that receiver could decrypt the frame.

    Next improvement of first WEP key was 128-bit shared WEP key. With that WEP version 104 bits are used for shared key and 24 for initialization vector.

    IEEE proposed in 2004 new version of WEP - WEP2. It uses the same RC4 algorithm with 128-bit initialization vector. WEP2 has not improved significantly security. It only increases time for cracking.

    Next step in wireless security is WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access.

    How To Grow Your Micro-Business
    If you want to grow your micro-business (defined as a business with fewer than five employees), you might consider some of the findings of a survey by Statistics Canada.1.

    Home Based Answering Service Business; Part 1
    Business needs for an answering service can vary considerably. A company may need a phone to be answered all day, part of the day, after hours only, or 24 hours a day. You can enter this profession at any level you choose. The amount of equipment you’ll need to get going will also fluctuate depending on how much time you want to devote to your home–based answering business.Most often, businesses need their phones covered during an "extended" work day, say 8:00 A.M.– 8:00 P.M.

    Blue Chip Real Estate
    All real estate market participants, whether homeowners or investors, look at their purchases as an investment. Whether they feel it is the home of their dreams or a place that will generate a good rental income, property owners want to be able to sell it for more than they paid for. Preferably, for a lot more. It is next to impossible to be wrong in times of price appreciation, as markets all over North America have shown these past few years. During market expansions, buyers

    WPA was designed as an answer for all WEP weaknesses. It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) with Message Integrity Check (MIC). It also has mutual pre-shared key (PSK) authentication scheme using 802.11X/EAP.

    WI-Fi Alliance launched WPA2 in September 2004. It is certified interoperable version of WPA. WPA2 besides PSK 802.1X/EAP authentication, use advanced encryption mechanism.

    This new mechanism is Counter-Mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) called Advanced Encryption Standard (AEP).

    WPA and WPA2 have 2 certification modes.

      - Enterprise

      - Personal

    You have 4 different versions of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices:

    1) WPA-Personal

    2) WPA2-Personal

    3) WPA-Enterprise

    4) WPA2-Enterprise

    Personal Mode is designed for home and office (SOHO) environment. You do not need authentication server (Radius or IAS).

    It uses manually entered PSK (pre-shared key or pass-phrase). Security level of your wireless network is based on this PSK.

    So, use mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumerical characters.
    Personal mode uses methods of
