How do I make a kiss sign on MacBook Air?


Many symbols have easy keyboard shortcuts.

For example:

™ = option-2
• = option-8
® = option-r
© = option-g

For others, if you can't use an HTML code or a unicode, you need to use the character viewer to select and insert the character. Once you enable the character viewer, it is available for display in most applications. To enable the character viewer:


  • Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Language & Text, and then click Input Sources.
Open the Input Sources pane of Language & Text preferences

  • Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
    Then, in any application, you can show the character viewer by choosing "Special Characters…" from the Edit menu, or type Command-Option-T. Here, you can select a lot of fun characters:


    ☺ ☻ ☹ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ ♤ ♧ ♡ ♢ ☀ ☁ ☂ ☃ ✈ ☞
    and a whole lot more.
    Finally, if you enable the keyboard viewer by clicking, "Show Keyboard & Character Viewer in menu bar" in the Keyboard System Preferences pane, you can open the character viewer from an icon at the top-right of your Mac (it's menu bar) as well. Another nice benefit is that you can open the keyboard viewer, which will show you which characters will be typed. So, if you show the keyboard viewer and then hold down the Option key, you can see every character that you can type by holding down Option when you type that letter. This, of course, works with combinations of keys, such as holding down Shift+Option.

Advantages of end user development software?


 Advantages

  • May help reduce the hidden backlog
  • Faster design/implementation cycle
  • More acceptable to users
  • Reduces communications problems between users and IS

Disadvantages
  • Duplication or effort and waste of resources
  • Greatly increased costs
  • Loss of control over data
  • Loss of control of quality in both programs and data
  • Incompatibles prevent sharing

I'm buying my first iPad and thinking about the Apple® - iPad® Air with Wi-Fi - 32GB - Space.?


The answer to you question depends on how much you would like to keep stored on your iPad. For instance, if you like to take a lot of photographs or video you might want to consider the larger storage size. Some people like to use the iPad for the same reasons they use a computer and they would opt for the larger storage. Keep in mind that as you use your new iPad you will discover more creative things that you can do. If you are a very creative person and can spend a little extra, go for the 64gb. Running a little short on cash, grab the 32gb iPad. If you have a personal computer you can take advantage of transferring you information directly to you computer or sending it up to iCloud for storage. Don't have a personal computer? Just store your creativity in the cloud.
Think about it in a different way, have you run out of space after a day of shooting your favorite scenes with your phone? Compare storage and you'll have a good idea of just how much you use. Either way I'm sure you will enjoy your new iPad every day.

My girlfriend cuts herself and I think I make it worse?


Cutting is the physical expression of hidden mental pain. Children may begin cutting or engaging in other forms of self-harm when their mental pain reaches a level that they can no longer deal with. While some children may find positive ways of coping with such pain, others seek negative coping methods including self-harm or drug use. Mental pain can be the result of built-up stress, past traumatic events, hurt feelings, rejection by peers, abandonment by significant others, or other life stressors.

Is My Child Just Trying to Get Attention?

If your child cuts in places that you can see and does not try to hide their wounds, then it is likely that, consciously or subconsciously, they are trying to let you know they are in pain. If they cut, or threaten to cut, in front of you, then they are likely crying for help. If your child has been hiding their cuts for a long period of time and has not told anyone about it, then they are likely trying to deal with their pain privately and are not seeking attention.

Why Do Children Cut?

This behavior, while it may appear to have no benefit, may actually provide several means to cope. I know what you are thinking: cutting hurts, right? Not for the cutter; for them, it actually releases pain. It allows the person who cuts to express how they are feeling on the inside by letting it outside. The chemical reactions that go on when people cut themselves make the behavior addictive. Once the person who cuts is used to dealing with pain in this way, it is hard for them to choose alternative coping methods. When a child who cuts becomes upset, they may go to the behavior as automatically as a person with alcoholism would turn to drinking to deal with a stressful day.

What Not to Do

It is important not to label self-harming behavior as “bad” or tell your child that they are doing something “wrong.” This kind of reaction will only make the child feel ashamed and desire to cut more to get rid of those negative feelings. Telling your child, “Just stop it,” is just as ineffective. Tell your child that you understand they are going through some difficult things, and that you want to find a way to help them.

Getting Help

Often when we ask teens, “What’s wrong?” they will invariably respond, “Nothing.” Many teens have a hard time opening up, especially to their parents. This is partially because it’s just not “cool,” or because they have a hard time bringing up certain topics our of fear that they will be misunderstood or get in trouble. It is important that they have someone who they are comfortable talking to, whether it is a family member, a friend, or a therapist. When looking for a therapist, it is important to find one whom your child will feel comfortable with so that your child can learn to release their pain in a healthy way.

Some capabilities that make for an excellent Wi-Fi router include great throughput speeds, good range, easy set up and manageability, a decent feature set, and, of course, fair pricing. The ten routers that follow strike the best balance among all our criteria.
A wireless router is the hub of your home or business network. In a nutshell, a router delivers a single Internet connection to other devices on the network, through either wired Ethernet or wireless connectivity. Some routers, targeted at novice users, are easy to set up, while others take a little more know-how. Routers also vary in the throughput they can crank out, depending on the antenna configuration and the hardware inside.
Routers also often provide additional capabilities, such as USB ports for attaching an external drive or printer and then sharing those devices on a network, built-in firewalls to protect against invading Internet threats, and services such as UPnP and DLNA to allow streaming multimedia content throughout the network.
Some Wi-Fi routers go even further, allowing you to set up access for guests to connect to your wireless network and use your Internet service, while controlling or restricting their access to resources like files and printers. You can also use a router's QoS (quality of service) feature to give priority to the type of network traffic most important to you, be it VoIP (voice over Internet protocol), video, or even file-sharing. Some can police what your children access on the Internet, and just about all can restrict which devices can connect to your network via a feature called MAC filtering.
Below you'll find short summaries of the top 10 routers we've tested. To read more about any of the routers (including throughput testing data), click through to the full review. To get more information on the type of router you need, read How to Buy a Wireless Router.
