Clean it thoroughly!
Jun 30th
How to clean your toilet properly: Nobody would admit they like to clean a toilet especially if its full of disgusting materials getting stuck in the holes and urine sprays are all over the floor. Well, it is also not a fun job, but someone has got to do something. However, the major problem is that most people just did it the wrong way which affects in a dirtier toilet.
1. Before anything starts, don’t forget to protect your eyes with goggle from chemicals and splatters. You may also need to use a glove so that you won’t have to dirty your hands and besides it makes cleaning much more easier.
2. To start off with the cleaning, wipe the toilet or rather scrub it with a damp sponge. Moisten the sponge by placing it in hot water and then use it to wipe around the toilet bowl. This process removes excess dirt and helps disperse the cleaning product.
3. Remember to remove any items around the toilet bowl so that those items will not drop into the bowl during the cleaning process.
4. Pour some toilet washing liquid (or coca-coca may also do) inside the bowl. Wash the bowl starting from the rim and then scrub the bowl with a toilet brush. Swab the interior of the bowl, paying special attention to the area immediately beneath the rim and also the water line.
5. Finally, take a final clean to the seat, rim, and the inside lid of the toilet bowl. Raise the seat and remove your brush. Spray the whole toilet bowl with cleaner and then wipe clean with paper towels. Remember also to wipe clean the area behind the hinges next to the tank. When everything is done, throw the paper towels away.
Now you may get a great compliment from your boss or anybody you’re cleaning the toilet for, because they will be sitting on a shiny, clean toilet to be proud of.

What is a DSLR?
Jun 29th
What is a DSLR? A DSLR camera is the abbreviation for digital single-lens reflex camera that uses an automatic mirror system and pentaprism or pentamirror to direct light from the lens through the viewfinder eyepiece.
The basic operation of a DSLR is for viewing purposes. Basically, the mirror reflects the light coming through the attached lens upwards at an approximately 90 degree angle. It is then reflected by the pentaprism to the photographer’s eye. During exposure that is during a photograph is bring taken, the mirror swings upwards and opens the shutter to allow the lens to project light onto the image sensor.
Interchangeable lenses for DSLRs are built to operate correctly with a specific lens mount that is generally unique to each brand. Photographers often use lenses made by the same manufacturer as the camera body although there are also many other independent lens manufacturers that make lenses for a variety of different lens mounts.
The fact about DSLRs is that any DSLRs would produce a blurred image if there’s no lighting. Images produced during the night would often be not clear or may have less pixels. However, a DSLR in another hand, produced high quality pixels during the day. Besides, the optical zoom of a DSLR would again be better than a digital camera.
