All students stress, even the one with high grades, they stress to remain at the top, and is even more scared to loose that spot then the struggling student. Even your parents deal with job stress, but exam stress is so easy to deal with. Here are some tips:
1. Believing That You Will Pass
What you think about all day long, is what will come to pass, and you have to keep your mind set on getting that diploma.
2. Listening To Music
A little music is good for the soul and will help calm the nerves
3. Relaxing The Mind
Focus on something positive, smile and keep only positive feelings flowing through your mind at that moment, breath slowly and try not to think about the exams.
4. Peace And Quiet
Find someplace quiet, where your alone, and try to really get some sleep, not getting enough sleep brings on even more stress.

What makes a strong password?
Passwords provide the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your computer. The stronger your password, the more protected your computer will be from hackers and malicious software. You should make sure you have strong passwords for all accounts on your computer. If you’re using a corporate network, your network administrator might require you to use a strong password.
A strong password:
-Is at least eight characters long.
-Does not contain your user name, real name, or company name.
-Does not contain a complete word.
-Is significantly different from previous passwords.
-Contains characters from each of the following four categories:
Help yourself remember your strong password by following these tips:
1. Create an acronym from an easy-to-remember piece of information. For example, pick a phrase that is meaningful to you, such as My son’s birthday is 12 December, 2004. Using that phrase as your guide, you might use Msbi12/Dec,4 for your password.
2. Substitute numbers, symbols, and misspellings for letters or words in an easy-to-remember phrase. For example, My son’s birthday is 12 December, 2004 could become Mi$un’s Brthd8iz 12124 (it’s OK to use spaces in your password).
3. Relate your password to a favorite hobby or sport. For example, I love to play badminton could become ILuv2PlayB@dm1nt()n.
Top 5 tips to be a great party deejay
Music and entertainment are essential elements of a party and getting it right can make or break a party! It is a difficult decision to make with so many different varieties of bands, entertainers and DJs available. It is no wonder that so many people are having trouble on deciding whether to have live music or a DJ for their wedding reception. However, if you’re one of those wanting to be a party DJ as a beginning, the following steps should be taken into consideration.
1. The audience:
You should know very well who your audiences are. Different audiences of different age groups have different tastes. As a party deejay or presenter, you should be able to adapt to the environment of your audiences because your main duty is to please other people, and not yourself.
2. The choices of songs:
Again, a great deejay needs to know very well how to randomize the song selections. Songs can range from techno, R & B, rock, pop and balada but on top of all that, it should suite the demand of the listeners.
3. The target:
Remember that the people throwing the party hired you obviously because they liked you already. However, the people who come to dance and have a good time are your judges. These are the people you really need to impress. Who knows, they might hire you.
4. Ensure that your music is up to date:
Make sure that you have a wide range of music including the most recent chart-topping songs. Even though you might obtain music from internet downloads, this is definitely not the approach a professional DJ should take.
5. Ensure that you know the dress code:
Always ask about the dress code of the party. You should always dress in a manner that is appropriate for the occasion. A DJ is a service provider and should always be themely dressed.
Good luck deejays!
Most expensive perfume in the world
Imperial Majesty, which costs $215,000 a bottle, is the most expensive perfume in the world. Would it smell as sweet at any other price?
Actually, yes. Imperial Majesty is a limited edition of a Clive Christian signature scent. Sold simply as No. 1, the fragrance is priced at $2,150 an ounce. But the reason Imperial Majesty costs so much is that Christian, a British designer-turned-perfumer, poured 16.9 ounces of No. 1 into a Baccarat crystal bottle, stuck a five-carat diamond into the 18-carat gold collar and unveiled it at Harrods in London and Bergdorf Goodman in New York City this past holiday season.
