Why You Should Buy A New Car Instead of Used

Well, i am currently looking for car but still considering whether to get a new car or a second hand ones. I was searching on Google and found this article quite true, so let me share this out:

It seems every bit of advice on the Internet tells you to buy a used car. Buying a new car, after all, will leave you absorbing all the depreciation. But there are plenty of good reasons to buy a new car. Not to mention all of the great new car deals out there to be had!

1. Better Value Than in the Past

In terms of real money, new motor vehicle prices have actually decreased in the past few years. A look at reports of new car prices vs. inflation have shown that a dollar today will buy you more car than it used to. This is partly due to aggressive pricing in a down worldwide economy. But also more efficient processes and increased competition are keeping prices down.

At the same time, cars are more reliable, lasting longer, possessing better fuel efficiency, and holding their value better. It is not unreasonable to see a car last 15 or more years with proper maintenance. Used cars are becoming more and more expensive as depreciation isn't wiping out as much value as before. And when you do the math, depreciation really isn't that bad. 

2. Get What You Want

If you're going to be spending thousands of dollars on a new vehicle, you'd best be happy with your purchase. I'm not saying you should pay for every little upgrade that you think is cool. But make a list of the essentials you need and shop for those.

Depending on your area, however, it may be difficult to find a used car that satisfies your wants. Sure Internet buying with sites such as AutoTrader or EBay Motors have made buying a car online possible. But there are obvious risks when purchasing a car you have never seen in person.

When buying a new car, you have access to the dealer's entire inventory and often the inventory of other nearby new car dealers. And if you still can't find what you want, it is always possible to order a customized vehicle.

4. Special Perks

Buy nearly any new car today and you will also be eligible for some excellent perks. Take a vehicle that already costs less and lasts longer than those in the past, and add on additional value increasing perks like proper maintenance, and these deals are looking sweeter by the moment. Some special groups can also receive additional perks. For example, new college graduates have many discounts available to them including:

• Cashback Bonus
• Deferred Payments
• Better Interest Rates
• Financing even with limited credit history
• Roadside Assistance
• and more!

3. Peace of Mind

But perhaps the best reason to buy a new car is the peace of mind. Knowing that your car has always been treated well. Knowing your car has received its maintenance. Knowing your car has fresh parts. Knowing your warranty will protect your car. Knowing you will get what you want. The list goes on, but the reason is clear. Car buying can be a long and stressful experience. But buying new can reduce or even eliminate some of the hardest parts.

Why Earthquake Caused Tsunami?

A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater landslide. The impact of a large meteorite could also cause a tsunami. Tsunami travel across the open ocean at  great speeds and build into large deadly waves in the shallow water of shoreline.

Subduction zones are potential tsunami locations

Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes generated in a subduction zone, an area where an oceanic plate is being forced down into the mantle by plate tectonic forces. The friction between the subducting plate and the overriding plate is enormous. This friction prevents a slow and steady rate of subduction and instead the two plates become "stuck".

Accumulated seismic energy

As the stuck plate continues to descend into the mantle the motion causes a slow distortion of the overriding plage. The result is an accumulation of energy very similar to the energy stored in a compressed spring. Energy can accumulate in the overriding plate over a long period of time - decades or even centuries. 

Earthquake Causes Tsunami

Energy accumulates in the overriding plate until it exceeds the frictional forces between the two stuck plates. When this happens, the overriding plate snaps back into an unrestrained position. This sudden motion is the cause of the tsunami - because it gives an enormous shove to the overlying water. At the same time, inland areas of the overriding plate are suddenly lowered.  

Tsunami races away from the Epicenter

The moving wave begins travelling out from where the earthquake has occurred. Some of the water travels out and across the ocean basin, and, at the same time, water rushes landward to flood the recently lowered shoreline.  

Deadliest Tsunamis in History

• Indian Ocean tsunami, 2004: 150,00 killed or missing in 11 countries. This tsunami unleashed the energy equivalent of 23,000 atomic bombs, according to the USGS.
• Java, 1883: Krakatou volcano erupted, triggering tsunamis that killed 36,000 people.
• Honshu, Japan, 1896: 27,000 killed.
• Chile, 1868: 25,000 killed.
• Mindanao, Philippines, 1976: Between 5,000 and 8,000 killed.
• Chile, 1960: 2,300 killed.
• In the U.S., the deadliest tsunami occurred in Hawaii in 1946. 165 people, including school children, were killed when a tsunami wiped out Hilo's waterfront. The government established a Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii in the aftermath of that tsunami.

How To Prevent Computer Radiation

Do you constantly use the computer, whether it be for work, entertainment, or to manage finances? If you ask me this question, I would definitely give you a 'YES'. I know that computer give off harmful radiation that is bad for health. 

Computers, along with any other electronic gadgets, emit certain electromagnetic rays and frequencies. It is similar to secondhand smoking. You end up absorbing all the harmful computer radiation. I got my eyes very dry after facing the computer for long hours. Well, to be precise, exactly 10 hours (8 hours at office and the rest at home). 

I hereby to share some useful tips on how to prevent computer radiation. If you have read this, please tell your friends or anyone you care about. 

1. Attach a radiation filter plate in front of your computer screen. Make sure you do not have any metal substances near your computer, as these can reflect electromagnetic radiation that can be harmful to your health.
2. Put some radiation absorbing plants near your computer to prevent computer radiation. For example, putting several potted cactus can help absorb some of the harmful radiation.
3. Drinking 2 to 3 cups of green tea will help. As green tea can be assimilated by the body easily into a form of vitamin A, which is later synthesised into a substance called rhodopsin, it helps reducing radiation.
4. Remember to rinse your face with clean alkaline water to eliminate some electromagnetic radiation particles that may have attached to the surface of your face.
5. Take some foods which are rich in vitamin A and C such as carrots, cherries, apples, bean sprouts, tomatoes as a good measure to reduce the harmful effect of an indoor radiation.

What To Do After Graduation

After graduation you’ll be looking at the beginning of your career and there are so many things to consider that you may feel a little bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until you graduate to start thinking about these things, you can start planning months in advance for your job situation after you graduate.

The first thing you should do is consider whether or not you are going to stay with the company you are currently working for. Are you able to utilize all of your skills with this company? Do your superiors appreciate the work you do and the time you put into your work? If you do not feel as though your talents will be nurtured and appreciated in your current place of employment, you should definitely consider finding other employment. You must also consider whether or not you’ll have the chance to continue to grow in your current work environment.

If you don’t have a job when you graduate, you’ll need to get organized quickly so that you can find a job and start putting that education to good use! First, you’ll need to determine what type of job you want and you likely know that since you’ve graduated with a degree or certificate that likely only applies to certain types of jobs. When you know what type of job you are looking for you need to write a resume and cover letter to submit to employers that are looking for individuals with your education or experience. Writing a resume can be more difficult than you may think, so if you need help be sure to use resources such as books, articles on the Internet, or even a professional resume writer.

Next, you’ll need to submit to your resume to as many employers as possible. You should not apply for just one or two jobs, as you aren’t likely to get hired if you limit yourself. Applying for just one or two jobs really limits the chances you’ll be hired quickly as the competition in the job market is intense and the more you apply the better chance you have to landing a great job that you can start soon. You need to pick jobs that will pay the bills, allow you to use your degree, will pay you fairly, and appreciate your work, and will allow you to continue to grow in your skill or art. Choosing a job that will limit your talents and abilities should be avoided, because you didn’t get a college degree to limit your growth.

Floaters In My Eyes

It has been more than a year, there's something just like a mosquito flying in my right eye whenever I roll my eyes. My sister told me, it'll disappear after some time. Coincidentally, one of my room-mate got the same vision problem with me. As what she described, she got more than one mosquito flying in her eyes whenever she rolls her eyes. 

I was so worried about my condition and I decided to go for eye checkup. My room-mate went to see an ophthalmologist and she was told that it's a kind of eye disorder -- Floaters.

Floaters are deposits of various size, shape and motility within the eye's vitreous humor, which is normally transparent. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia. Finally, I know that why floaters are visible in my eyes. It's because of the shadows they cast on the retina or their refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one's field of vision. In my eyes, it appears as spots or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly whenever I roll my eyes. *sob sob*

According to the ophthalmologist, there are various causes for the appearance of floaters, of which the most common are described here. Simply stated, any damage to the eye that causes material to enter the vitreous humour can result in floaters.

Long hours spent in front of the computer might lead to this vision problem, just like me! *sigh*

Most commonly, there is no treatment recommended. *teardrops on my computer*

 Floaters

(I found it on Google, but mine just got 1 floater. *luckily*)

5 Minutes -- Satisfaction Guaranteed!

When you are going to university, there are many factors that go into feeding yourself. Meal has to be affordable, easy to prepare and easy to clean up afterward. You cannot always afford to spend lots of money and time trying to feed yourself when you have mountains of homework and study to deal with.

Student life is always being broke and hungry most of the time, means that a lot of wacky instant noodles recipes were born over that one-burner gas strove. But are they good for you? Nutritionists would never say that eating the ubiquitous noodles every day is healthy, but the occasional bowlful will certainly do not harm.

How do you cook instant noodles? Putting the noodles into a pot water, throw in the powder and let it cook for 3 minutes? Believe it or not, this is the wrong method of cooking the instant noodles. By doing this, you actually boil the ingredients in the seasoning with MSG. This food additive will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be TOXIC!!!

The other thing that you may or may not realise is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles. But no worries, I will teach you the correct way of cooking instant noodles.

STEPS:
1. Boil the noodles in a pot.
2. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles and throw away the water.
3. Boil another pot of water.
4. Add in the noodles and let it cook for a minute.
5. When the fire is off and while the water is still hot, put in the powder.

Even though the basic ingredient of instant noodle is wheat flour, it is not advisable to eat on regular basis due to its MSG content and wax coating. However, for a change in the regular menu and if it is cooked in the right way, instant noodles are not a bad choice.
