Sky-Diving Camp Details

Dates	Days	Place
27th – 29th Sept 2013	Friday, Saturday & Sunday	Madhya Pradesh

Static Line Jump

Static Line Skydiving offers the individual an opportunity to jump from an aircraft, on his or her own, from an altitude of 4000 feet using an automatically opened parachute. The main parachute is deployed using a device called a 'static line'. This is a length of webbing attached to the aircraft at one end and the bag in which the main parachute is packed at the other. As the jumper falls away from the aircraft, the static line pulls the main parachute out and begins deployment. Static Line Parachute Jump requires (8 hours) one to two days of ground training followed by the skydive. Student will be assisted by one instructor in the aircraft for the jump and by one the ground to ensure proper safety and safe landing.

Type of Jump	Height	Cost MRP	Ground Photos	Aerial Exit Shots	Exit Videos
Static Line Jump	4000 Feet	15000/-	Available & Included in Price	Additional Cost of 500/- rs	Additional Cost of 500/- rs

Tandem Jump

Tandem skydiving is a very popular training method for first time skydivers and it exposes first-time jumpers to skydiving with minimal expectations from the student. The training may consist of many of the activities performed by any skydiving student, for example, how to exit the aircraft, how to do manoeuvres in free fall, and how to deploy the main canopy themselves. However, the tandem master remains primarily responsible for safe and timely parachute deployment.

Tandem skydiving requires equipment with several differences from normal sport skydiving rigs. All modern tandem skydiving systems use parachute, which is deployed shortly after leaving the plane in order to decrease the skydivers' terminal velocity. This is necessary for proper parachute deployment, lengthening the duration of the skydive, and allowing the skydivers to fall at the same speed as video-graphers. Tandem skydiving systems also use larger main parachutes (360 square feet and larger) to support the additional weight of two passengers. The FAA requires tandem parachute rigs to be equipped with a main and reserve parachute, as well as an Automatic Activation Device (AAD), a safety device that automatically deploys the reserve parachute if it detects that the skydivers are still at freefall speed below a certain altitude

How to Recover a Windows Password You’ve Lost !!

Let’s assume that you, or someone you know, forgot their Windows password. The initial step someone usually takes when this occurs is to panic (understandably so). After all, none of us want to lose all of the information we have poured so much time into. The second step someone usually takes is to rummage through their drawers, trying to find any information written on a scrap of paper.

Assuming these two steps have been in vain, here is a useful third step to consider. Recover your password through the use of a free software application such as Ophcrack. We could go into detail about what Ophcrack is, and how it does it – but, truthfully, that is of minimal importance. Instead let’s look, step by step, how to use it.

Step by Step Guide on Using Ophcrack

1) Go to the Ophcrack site Download ophcrack LiveCD.

2) Select the XP LiveCD if you are using Windows XP. If you are using anything newer then select the Vista LiveCD. Within a few seconds you will be downloading the LiveCD ISO file.

3) In order to use the ISO file you need to burn it to a disk based media (CD or DVD). If you are using Windows 7, this feature is built in. If not, download and use a free ISO burning program – ISO Recorder is quite popular.

4) Restart your computer and enter the boot menu (likely by hitting F12 as your computer starts up). Making sure that your CD or DVD is in the computer’s drive, choose to boot from the CD or DVD.




5) When you see the ophcrack LiveCD screen select Ophcrack Graphic mode – automatic. In order to do this, you can simply hit the enter key (since this is the default option).



6) The Ophcrack Window will automatically load. Take a look at the leftmost column; this is where all the names of your user accounts are. For this demonstration, we have created a user account with the name “Dan”.



7) Wait as Ophcrack loads and attempts to discover your password. When it does, the password will appear in the right-hand column. For our demonstration, we had given “Dan” the password “DanTheMan” – which Ophcrack was able to discover.



8) Exit the Ophcrack environment. You can simply reset or shut your computer down at this stage.

Using the program in order to save yourself a great deal of grief is a great idea. The only thing that should be mentioned is that you should never use this type of program to access other people’s accounts. Ophcrack is designed solely as a helpful tool to get yourself out of trouble if you forgot your own Windows password.

4 easy-to-use Free Remote Desktop Windows Applications

Whether you’re trouble shooting your family PC problems from your home, or just want to access your PC remotely, remote desktop solutions are incredibly useful. Unfortunately, most remote desktop programs aren’t very easily understood by the average computer user.

Here is a rundown of 4 easy-to-use free remote desktop Windows applications which make reaching out to your computer remotely as easy as ABC. All of these are FREE for non-commercial purposes.

1. Teamviewer

Teamviewer is easily the king of amateur remote desktop providers, both because of its wide popularity and instantly recognizable interface. A remote desktop session is created when one partner supplies his securely-generated, unique Teamviewer ID and password to his partner on the other side, upon which the active partner can choose to provide remote support, perform a presentation, transfer files, or create a virtual private network (VPN).

Teamviewer’s one-click solution to remote desktop support and its simple interface makes performing remote desktop a breeze, whether you work at tech support or simply want to reach out to your files at home. There’s also a stripped-down version for passive users for receiving support only, and the program has cross-browser capabilities, working over Windows, Mac, Linux, and even on the iPhone.

CLick Here to Download Team Viewer

2. Instant Housecall

Instant Housecall is basically a simpler version of Teamviewer, and works almost identically minus a few bells and whistles. Similar to Teamviewer, it requires the active partner and the computer he’s reaching out to to have the software installed on both computers, and connects both of them with a unique username and password, or with a basic applet which is marginally smaller in size.

Once you’re logged in, a support window pops up detailing the passive partner’s desktop screen. It’s very speedy, maybe due to its lighter system requirements, so if you’re having problems with Teamviewer or just want to suit a client’s preferences, Instant Housecall provides a nice alternative niche with the same functionality.

3. LogMeIn

LogMeIn is the other major remote desktop provider on the front lines of the market, reaching out to consumers and businesses alike with its easily recognizable brand name. So far, reviews about their service have been top-notch, whether you’re on Windows, Mac or need a link over your iPhone.

Among the choices mentioned here, LogMeIn straddles the extremes rather than provide the best of both worlds. It has the highest stability rates during its remote desktop sessions (which is important), but it limits free users to remote desktop access only and nothing else; paying customers have file transfer, remote printing and desktop sharing options, functions which are completely free in Teamviewer. Still, if all you need is a way to support your clients living on the outer reaches of the globe, LogMeIn is the perfect application to fulfil your tech support needs

4. ThinVNC

293" src="http://www.friedbeef.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/clip_image008.jpg" width="450" />

ThinVNC is a new remote desktop solution which provides a revolutionary new approach to performing remote access – through your web browser. Taking advantage of HTML 5’s arsenal of new capabilities, it creates a remote session between the partners and displays the screen within the active partner’s web browser, i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer. The potential for this type of functionality is enormous, such as creating sessions over a friend’s computer or on a public terminal – which is what makes it such a great free remote desktop Windows application.

The disadvantage of using it is that it’s not as simple to set up as the aforementioned programs, requiring basic knowledge of IP addresses and port numbers – but these are easily obtainable with the right instructions. The advantages are obvious, as web browsers are much more readily acceptable on foreign devices than executable setup files, and you have the assurance of performing remote access on campus or in cybercafés if you ever find the need to.

Useful Tips & Tricks for success in ISTQB exam:

ISTQB foundation level certification (CTFL) exam is the simplest of all. Software testers can cross this bridge quite comfortably by using following tips to the best of their advantage.

Before the Exam:

1) Read the syllabus thoroughly.

2) Do your own self-assessment by solving as many sample papers as possible & that too, without jumping to their answers. Answers should be used as a final check only.

During the Exam:

1) Objective type questions are quite simple but confusing, since answers have great similarity. Chose the answer that appears more appropriate by the process of elimination.

2) It is best to read the question twice or thrice or even more to understand the actual gist of the question (Be careful do not spend too much time on just one question itself - simultaneously keep an eye on the clock all the time). The idea of repeated reading of the question is to grab the important key words deliberately inserted in the question to judge the ability & presence of mind of the aspirant.

3) Never try to hastily jump to the answer – reason being you may fail to notice some typical catch in the question due to your haste. Thus the best way is to check all options before making your selection.
