Paypal scams

I Was Scammed

With this particular auction I felt a little concerned about the funds and have heard about possible chargebacks after items were sent, so I called Paypal to verify my security on this situation. I talked with a representative about the situation and they assured me that once the money was cleared into my account that the buyer couldn't charge back the purchase.

I called in twice and asked the same questions but the second time I was in more detail with the questions. This time I was put through to someone higher up that assured that the money was safe in my account and could not be removed. They failed to tell me that they would just put my account at a negative balance and I would have to be the one to take the money out of bank account.

Timo a traves de Royal Mail

EOS 5D - Royal Mail Scam - The Photo Forum - Photography Discussion Forum

I had found an EOS 5D in mint condition + vertical grip for 1300$ on Craig's List. I contacted the seller, asking him a lots of questions to be sure everything is as mint as he said it was, well, so far everything was good, i was convinced that I was doing an excellent deal ! Then I received an invoice from the Liverpool Royal Mail post office saying that the package was ready to be shipped and that now I had to make the payment so that it can be shipped. The payment had to be done thanks to Wester Union to the account of a pretented employe of the Post Office. The invoice can be found here. You can actualy try the tracking number, it's working.

MS Surface: no sirve para nada

Este artículo desmitifica la "mesa ordenador" de Microsoft. Incluye montones de enlaces a tecnologías similares, tanto prototipos de investigación como productos comerciales.

Scratching the Surface of Microsoft's New Table PC

Microsoft has neither introduced anything revolutionary, nor improved upon existing technologies, nor found a clear and obvious application for multitouch the way Apple has with the iPhone. What it has done is ported the general idea to Windows, desperately associated Surface hype with the Zune (which has non-functional WiFi) and retroactively claimed credit for a wide swath of technologies dating back to 2001. Wow, that’s crap.



That tends to overshadow the innovative software ideas Surface appears to introduce: visualized controls that enable users to toss pictures toward a phone to copy them, or a Dock like interface that launches cocktails rather than Mac applications. This is the kind of flourish Adobe wants to deliver with Flash, not rocket science.

Una notación de Jef Raskin para escritura concurrente

Humanized > Weblog: Collaboration Made Simple with Bracket Notation
...we dubbed it “bracket notation”.

It’s simply three sets of square brackets. The first set
denotes deletion, the second set denotes addition, and the third set
denotes a comment. It’s easiest to explain by example.
Let’s start with a simple sentence plagued by two typical errors:

They called to say that their coming over in an quarter-hour.

An editor might revise the sentence to:

They called to say that the[ir][y’re] coming over
in a[n] quarter-hour. [][][Be careful with “their” and
“they’re”.]

Cómo iniciar una conversación

How to Have Less Awkward Conversations: Assuming Rapport

Assuming
rapport. This is definitely one of the best social skill tips I have
ever learned about. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten a bit about it
lately. Maybe you have too. Or missed it altogether. So I thought
I’d bring it up again.

Now, what is assuming rapport?

Basically,
instead of going into a conversation or meeting nervously and thinking
“how will this go?” you take different approach. You assume
that you and the person(s) will establish a good connection (rapport).

16 Things I Wish They Had Taught Me in School at Personal Development with The Positivity Blog

But sometimes I wish that I had known some of things I have learned over the last few years a bit earlier. That perhaps there had been a self-improvement class in school. And in some ways there probably was.
1. The 80/20 rule.

2. Parkinson’s Law.

You can do things quicker than you think.

3. Batching.

Boring
or routine tasks can create a lot of procrastination and low-level
anxiety. One good way to get these things done quickly is to batch
them. This means that you do them all in row.
4. First, give value (to others). Then, get value. Not the other way around.

5. Be proactive. Not reactive.

This one ties into the last point. If everyone is reactive then very little will get done.

6. Mistakes and failures are good.

When
you are young you just try things and fail until you learn. As you grow
a bit older, you learn from - for example - school to not make
mistakes. And you try less and less things. This may cause you
to stop being proactive and to fall into a habit of being reactive, of
waiting for someone else to do something.

7. Don’t beat yourself up.

Why
do people give up after just few mistakes or failures? Well, I think
one big reason is because they beat themselves up way too much. But
it’s a kinda pointless habit. It only creates additional and
unnecessary pain inside you and wastes your precious time.

8. Assume rapport.

Meeting
new people is fun. But it can also induce nervousness. We all want to
make a good first impression and not get stuck in an awkward
conversation.

The
best way to do this that I have found so far is to assume rapport. This
means that you simply pretend that you are meeting one of your best
friends. Then you start the interaction in that frame of mind instead
of the nervous one.

9. Use your reticular activation system to your advantage.

What
this focus system, this R.A.S, in your mind does is to allow you to see
in your surroundings what you focus your thoughts on. It pretty much
always helps you to find what you are looking for.

So you really need to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. And keep that focus steady.

Setting goals and
reviewing them frequently is one way to keep your focus on what’s
important and to help you take action that will move your closer to
toward where you want to go.

10. Your attitude changes your reality.

When you change you attitude you change what you focus on. And all things in your world can now be seen in a different light.

11. Gratitude is a simple way to make yourself feel happy.

Sure,
I was probably told that I should be grateful. Perhaps because it was
the right thing to do or just something I should do. But if someone had
said that feeling grateful about things for minute or two is a great
way to turn a negative mood into a happy one I would probably have
practised gratitude more.

12. Don’t compare yourself to others.
A more useful way is
to compare yourself to yourself. To look at how far you have come, what
you have accomplished and how you have grown. It may not sound like
that much fun but in the long run it brings a lot more inner stillness,
personal power and positive feelings.

13. 80-90% of what you fear will happen never really come into reality.

This
is a big one. Most things you fear will happen never happen. They are
just monsters in your own mind. And if they happen then they will most
often not be as painful or bad as you expected. Worrying is most often
just a waste of time.

14. Don’t take things too seriously.

15. Write everything down.

If
your memory is anything like mine then it’s like a leaking
bucket. Many of your good or great ideas may be lost forever if you
don’t make a habit of writing things down. This is also a good
way to keep your focus on what you want.

16. There are opportunities in just about every experience.

En minería de datos, cuanto más datos mejor

En el problema de recomendación de películas, un algoritmo simple con más datos funcionó mejor que uno con un algoritmo más potente.

Data mining.

Datawocky: More data usually beats better algorithms

Different student teams in my class adopted different approaches to
the problem, using both published algorithms and novel ideas. Of these,
the results from two of the teams illustrate a broader point. Team A
came up with a very sophisticated algorithm using the Netflix data.
Team B used a very simple algorithm, but they added in additional data
beyond the Netflix set: information about movie genres from the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Guess which team did better?

Team B got much better results, close to the best results on the
Netflix leaderboard!! I'm really happy for them, and they're going to
tune their algorithm and take a crack at the grand prize. But the
bigger point is, adding more, independent data usually beats out
designing ever-better algorithms to analyze an existing data set. I'm
often suprised that many people in the business, and even in academia,
don't realize this.

Principios de la gramática inglesa

The four basic principles of grammar. - Free Online Library

Here, I propose a mathematically elegant approach: the syntactical relationships among virtually every word, phrase, and clause can be explained given four key principles. In this economy of terms, the mystery--the mysticism--of grammar is dispelled, the functions and forms of grammatical units explained in clear, precise, yet flexible terms. The labyrinth of handbooks is made straight.

Orden de los adejtivos en ingles: regla mnemotécnica

How to remember the order

You can use the 'Roman room' memorisation technique. This involves
remembering a place that you know well, such as your home, and imagining walking
through it, looking at things.

1. Imagine that you arrive at the door of your home. On the door is the
   letter 'A', and you are greeted by someone who lives there. This helps you to
   remember the article 'A' or the determiner(s); e.g. my Mother's.
2. Imagine that you are happy to see each other. This helps you
   to remember the opinion adjective.
3. Imagine the size of your home: is it big, small, or long?
   This helps you to remember the size adjectives.
4. Imagine that you go into your home and you see an object. Remember the
   shape of the object.
5. Now imagine that you walk around your home; e.g. towards your room. Think
   of another object further from the door. Think of the age of
   that object; e.g. new or old.
6. Move on to another object, this time a colourful one. Remember what
   colour it is.
7. Move on to another object. This object should remind you of a foreign
   place; e.g. a picture of somewhere in China, or a souvenir from a holiday
   abroad. This is to help you remember nationality.
8. Next imagine moving to another object, this time a religious
   one. Maybe you have a place for worshipping your ancestors, or a statue of
   Buddha.
9. Next move to another object. This should be special because it is made of
   one material; e.g. a crystal ornament or a wooden statue.
10. Finally move to a place where there is an object that is described with 2
    words, and the first is a noun; e.g. a book shelf. Imagine that this is
    the end of your journey around your flat.

La mejor forma de pagar a traves de PayPal

Con tarjeta de *credito*, para que te cubra tu banco.

Proporcione información adicional - PayPal
De como paypal me dejó tirado y me quedé sin compra y sin dinero (con las pruebas)

Paypal está realizando una intensa campaña para que la
gente pase a usar e-transfers en vez de tarjetas de crédito (yo
estoy con BBVA y cada comnpra que hago en vez de salirme por defecto mi
Blue Joven, me sale el numero de libreta!!), por dos motivos, el
primero que a ellos les sale gratis hacer ingresos y descuentos
directamente a cuentas bancarias sin tarjetas de por medio (de
ahí tanto ahinco), y segundo, en caso de problemas, tu seguro de
la tarjeta no te cubre nada ya que paypal te ha sacado los cuartos
directamente de tu libreta, gratis y por supuesto cobrando al vendedor
la misma comisión que si hubieras pagado con tarjeta.





Que nadie pique en su nueva política de pagos.




Al que abrió el post solo decirle que si pagó con
tarjeta vaya a su banco y denuncie a PAYPAL por estafa para que le
devuelvan el dinero, yo es lo que hago y Visa o MasterCard son
muchisimo mas serios que paypal y se ponen de tu lado con las pruebas
de la estafa, SIEMPRE. Y paypal sale jodido, haced eso siempre, a mi
hasta ahora en 3 estafas que he sufrido y paypal se ha lavado las
manos, siempre me ha funcionado.

Remedio definitivo contra el hipo (?)

» Cómo curar el hipo en 12 segundos | Maikelnai’s blog

Durante un mal ataque, hace varias semanas, empecé a aguantar la respiración, un poco por aburrimiento, y comencé a dar vueltas por la sala de estar. Decidí hacer unos estiramientos mientras aguantaba la respiración, de modo que coloqué las manos en la parte superior del marco de la puerta y me incliné hacia delante, y ¿qué os parece? el hipo se detuvo en cuestión de segundos. Debéis sentir como se arquea la espalda y se estira el abdomen. Continuad presionando las manos hacia arriba y dejad que el peso de vuestro cuerpo os haga atravesar el marco de la puerta. Mantened esta posición de estiramiento durante 30 o 60 segundos mientras retenéis una buena cantidad de aire en los pulmones. Yo hago una larga inspiración, y luego realizo el ejercicio de estiramiento mientras retengo el aire. He incluido una imagen en este post de la postura del remedio. ¡Eso es todo! Feliz cura
