August can be a nerve-racking month for hundreds of thousands of UK students who receive the results of their A and AS-level exams.

To give students advice on their next steps once they have got their results, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) has set up a National Exam Results Helpline that is running until 29th August 2009: 0808 100 8000.

By using a freephone 0808 number (which is exactly the same as an 0800 number) the DCSF has enabled students and their families to call the Exam Results Helpline totally free from a landline.

However, call costs from a mobile will vary and this is of particular importance because the overwhelming majority of students are likely to rely on their mobile phones.

This reflects the latest findings from Ofcom which found that 44.5% of all UK calls are now made from mobile phones (Ofcom Communication Market Report 2009).

In order for the DCSF to offer callers a great deal from a landline AND mobile, the National Exam Results Helpline should be an 03 number which are included in mobile users’ free minutes.

Here are 10 reasons why the National Exam Helpline should be an 03 Number

1. 03 numbers cost people the same to call as regular landline (01/02 numbers) even from a mobile phone. They are also included in the free minutes allocations offered by both mobile and landline network providers. This is of particular importance for callers to the National Exam Helpline when the majority of the callers are students who tend to rely on their mobile phones.

2. Like all non-geographic numbers, an 03 number enables organisations to smarten up the way they deal with calls with intelligent features like introduction messages (“Thank you for calling the National Exam Helpline”) and options menus (e.g. “Press 1 for information on the clearing process, press 2 for general enquiries” etc.)

3. There is a range of 03 numbers – 030 numbers that are exclusively for public bodies and not-for-profit organisations to use.

4. Callers can be queued, meaning that all important calls will be answered. This is particularly relevant for the Exam Helpline which is advertised nationally and will inevitably get hundreds of thousands of calls.

5. Organisations can handpick a highly memorable number that their callers will recall easily.

6. Calls to 03 numbers can be easily recorded for training purposes.

7. 03 numbers simply ’sit’ on top of any landline or mobile number. No additional equipment or hardware is needed.

8. 03 numbers can be inexpensive to run if you seek out the provider with the most competitive offering on the market (e.g. 30,000 free inbound minutes per month and once they have been used 0.5 pence per minute for all calls received after that).

9. It’s possible to see the geographic location of callers and the busy periods of the organisation using online call statistics packages.

10. 03 numbers and their features are fully controlled online. No additional hardware or equipment is needed and settings can be changed at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection.

The ever-increasing popularity of mobile phones means that the uptake of 03 numbers has grown significantly. Not only do they provide all the benefits of 08 numbers, but they offer all callers a great deal and there is a range (030 numbers) that is exclusively for public bodies and not-for-profit organisations.

Many public bodies are now using 0300 numbers, including the Department of Health, Companies House and the BBC and it seems that it won’t be long before 03 is the phone number of choice for all in the public sector.

Having been amongst the first to purchase the Dell 910 Mini I wanted to share my experience with others that might be thinking about acquiring this item or one of the other sub-notebook or ‘netbooks’ as they have become known. I manage a web design agency and I’ve been contemplating the idea of acquiring myself a more modern laptop as my old Dell Inspiron from 2003 is as heavy as a brick.

Shortly after having retired the old Dell to my girlfriends house (I couldn’t face lugging it back and forwards any longer so it just lives there now, I might well do the same with myself one of these days soon!) it stopped charging and wouldn’t run from the mains, so eventually when I gave it to my tech to repair he found out that it was one of the known faulty models, the 5150 which developed a problem with the motherboard overheating after prolonged use, this I found out about 2 years after they stopped replacing them as part of a class action lawsuit, shame I’m two years too late to get it replaced for free!

Ah well what’s 150 quid for a factory refurbished Motherboard off ebay, compared with years of loyal service in spite of being dropped a couple of times, spat on repeatedly, eaten over and all manner of other not recommended usage styles! I even used to have it hooked up to my TV via the onboard S-VHS port and watch films on it, so it has seen some action, oh yes!

However, this was all inspired by my step dad who just took delivery of top of the range Toshiba Portege at around £1,200, but he’s at that time in life where 1,200 quid is affordable, where as I’m still in financial recovery from my last divorce (yes there was more than one!)! So I stumbled across an ad for the Dell Inspiron 910 Mini on the Dell site whilst looking at specs of notebooks for a client, and there it was £299 inc VAT and delivery. What a bargain I thought!

Anyway there I was credit card on hot standby, wrist twitching ready to buy, but hang on I thought, why am I buying this, do I really need it? No, I don’t NEED it I just HAVE TO HAVE ONE! So then some sensibility came over me and I put my credit card away, feeling all smug with myself at having managed to resist an impulse purchase!

However, the next day my step Dad needs me to take a look at his new Toshiba because he can’t get the printer to work and can’t get it to see the other computers that are on our network (this job for me, comes with the territory!) So I happen to have to work on this ultra lightweight new laptop, wow I’m amazed at how light it is, especially compared to my old Dell 5150! I wish I had cash spare to invest in one of these I thought! I noticed he didn’t have my recommended security software installed though.I installed my favourite pc software security programs: Avast Anti Virus and Spybot Search & Destroy, the only (free) security software combination that truly works in my opinion.

The next day I had to go to a customers and as it was first thing in the morning I went straight there from my girlfriends house and took the old laptop with me (which gives me a great excuse to call in on my way back and drop it off, coincidentally around about lunchtime when there might be the chance of a ham, cheese and salad sandwich on the go! Yum, she is soooo good to me!) So anyway, I about put my back out trying to put this incredibly heavy laptop in the car passenger foot well whilst sitting in the drivers’ seat! One of those ‘put your back out’ manoeuvres. So having experienced the new lightweight machines first hand, and realised I do have a genuine requirement for the new Dell Inspiron mini after all, weighing in at around 1kg, you know I planned to get that credit card out again as soon as possible!

So as I had a management meeting that afternoon I informed my Finance Manager I would be ordering one and that was that. It was Friday October 3rd when I placed the order on the Dell website, and on the 8th I got back from a customer meeting to find a small cardboard box on my desk with the Dell log on the side, I thought it couldn’t possibly be the new mini as the confirmation email I got said it would arrive on or around the 20th October, but sure enough it really had arrived! Just a 5 day turn around, wow!

So I’m like a kid in a sweet shop thinking “best day ever” (See Heroes Season 3), I was ecstatic and carefully unpacked it, tossing instructions and disks to one side of course, “read those later” I thought. I got it out and started setting it up straight away, you know remove McAfee Security Centre and all the other junk software these things come with these days. Why they can’t just send you a blank windows installation I don’t know, more advertising!

As it has an integrated web cam I also downloaded Windows Live Messenger and had a short video call with my missus whilst she was doing her house work, superb! What a great bit of kit!So next I Googled ‘mobile broadband suppliers’ and toyed with ordering the USB dongle from Three, as their 5GB monthly allowance is only 15 quid a month so the best looking deal, providing those coverage stories you hear about Three Mobile are not really true! (Update: Yes the coverage is lousy in all the areas I want to use it, even at my desk I have to connect the dongle to a USB cable and hang it from my roof to get 1 bar signal strength, buy another brand!) Current suggestion is for an O2 dongle as they have good coverage and a good backbone speed.

Anyway, it was soon time to go and pick up my daughter from school so I thought yeah I’ll take it with me and even though I don’t have the mobile broadband dongle yet I can continue configuring it in car park if I’m early. I was early, so I turned it on, it said:

Windows could not start because of an error in the software.

Please report this problem as :

load needed DLLs for kernel.

Please contact your support person to report this problem

As we say in England from the popular Catherine Tate sketch “Computer says no…”

Ah dear, it was great fun whilst it lasted, all of about 2 and a half minutes!Then followed a 2 and a half hour telephone marathon with Dell support in India Apparently they were so quick to ship it to me that my service tag isn’t on their system yet. Service Tag? What does that have to do with it not booting up?

I just didn’t get their refusal to send me a replacement, you would think I was asking about something complicated, like oh I don’t know, server virtualisation for example. It’s a brand new Dell 910 mini laptop that doesn’t work, send me a new one! “Sorry Mr Rogers we can’t do that until we can look up the service tag”, what a ridiculous situation!

They suggested I called back in 24-48 hours, well I explained to them exactly what I thought of their suggestion as I’m sure you can image, but to no avail. I did indeed have to call back today and they have agreed to send me a replacement unit as it is within 7 days of delivery.

I hope the replacement arrives as quickly as the original unit did…

So conclusion? Apart from the fact it doesn’t work (a faulty drive in my opinion) and for the life of me I can’t get it to boot from an external drive or USB key (it doesn’t have a CD or DVD drive you know) it feels really solid, looks lovely, and is nice to handle (sounds a bit like the ideal companion to an i-phone 2.0 doesn’t it!).

Like most reviewers have experienced, the keys are small (but blackberry users manage and they are larger than those keys) and the right shift key is tiny and means you can’t type an @ in the usual fashion. But the screen is nice, 3 USB slots, a monitor connector, Ethernet and earphones and mic connectors although it has both speakers and mic internally so you can Live Messenger without having to plug anything in.

On the whole, I would recommend it, providing you get one that boots up! I am also yet to try it with LogMeIn which is my preferred way of dealing with how to access emails, lots of passwords, specialist software and all that kind of thing when you are out and about. Possibly the screen is going to be too small to be able to work with for extended periods of time, but I’ll let you know when the replacement arrives and I have had chance to give it a proper testing, assuming that one doesn’t break on me as soon as I start urm ‘configuring’ it!

Further Update: So I have had the Dell Mini for about erm, wow nearly a year now! It would never work with LogMeIn over the 3 dongle. To be fair 3 were very helpful, until we took the dongle out and successfully used it in another one of my machines and were able to connect on LogMeIn without any problems, at this point they referred me to Dell, at which point I lost the will to live!

It is all to do with one of the browser settings, not remembering itself when you tick the check box and hit Apply. I can’t remember which one it was now, and maybe ie 8 will have fixed the problem or it might work on Firefox browser instead, I just never got round to trying to sort it out again and tend to use the Mini more now to read the news in bed with my cup of tea in the morning.

It is too small to use for really extended periods but it is great for checking your email when you’re out and about, or for a quick impulse surf when you can’t be bothered to turn the main pc on and you want to remind yourself what other films that actor or actress was in for example!I think one of these lcd monitors connected to this machine externally would work really well, because you could use it in the office and then just take it with you when you go out.

It’s a great little machine though and also works quite well down the pub, because I can even fit it in the pocket of my big coat, and that is proper cool, except it doesn’t like beer puddles much so I tend to avoid taking it most of the time, unless I know I’m going to need to log on, but then the pub has got a sexy new Mac which is already covered in beer so I prefer to use that (any excuse to get behind the bar really!)What is so magical about being able to go behind the bar at your local anyway? I suspect if I actually worked there it would soon wear off!

In summary though it has not had any hardware problems since the initial replacement was received. On the whole I have found that Dell kit tends to be pretty reliable anyway, especially when you are dealing with the more business based items whereas this is obviously more consumer oriented. With a Dell or most new PC’s if they are going to breakdown they will usually do so within the first six months of use and generally after that they will keep going until they reach their recommended service intervals such as changing the disks after a couple of years and that kind of thing, assuming you continue to use them in the same fashion throughout their life spans.

It should be made clear though that these mini Dell laptops/netbooks, call them what you will, do not having a traditional hard disk drive inside them. A normal hard drive has a disk inside it that physically spins round and a ‘head’ which moves backwards and forwards over the sectors quite like the relationship between the stylus and the tracks on an old fashion vinyl record(which being 40 next year I do remember from my childhood)!

The storage within the Dell mini, and other netbooks too I should image, are solid state, that is to say they are rather like USB flash drives or memory keys. In fact I think from a picture I saw they look more like RAM memory chips all joined together than a single physical device. The advantage of using solid state memory over traditional hard drives is that they use less power, they are not as heavy and they are quieter. Much quieter. If you’re like me you will have noticed how computers have got a lot noisier over the last 10 years, as they have got more powerful.

My Dell Mini is blissfully quiet in comparison to any of my other computers, desktops or laptops. Although if you are super-sensitive to sound like I am then you can notice a very slight hum or whine when you request a program that requires it to access the hard drive. Most people probably won’t notice this but if you are familiar with the faint hum from your mobile phone charger or other devices of that ilk that transform power from one state to another then you might know what I am talking about. It certainly isn’t a problem though, although the power adapter for the machine itself does make some odd noises if you listen to it closely. It is similar to a mobile phone charger though, not like a traditional laptop power adapter, and this makes the whole thing much more portable.

My favourite aspect of this machine is that in some it elicits the same response as having a small puppy or kitten out and about with you, especially down the pub where if you get it out to a bunch of girls you can hear the ooh and ahhh’s of girls who think something is cute! That is priceless!

Have you ever tried to find a lost friend on the Internet? I have it is not as easy as you might think. I had a good friend in junior high and I have fond memories of hanging out having fun with him. We would hang out listen to music talk just have a great time.

The other day I was thinking about my long-lost friend and I decided to try to find them on the Internet. It seems everyone nowadays uses the Internet so I figured it shouldn’t be difficult to locate him. I pulled up Google typed his name and get pages on pages of results. I checked out page after page but didn’t find any mention of my friend just a lot of people with similar names.

I decided try to narrow my search a bit by including the town and state where we grew up. Unfortunately they were still too many pages to look through for it to be practical to find my lost friend. I decided Google just gave to many results so I would try using a less popular search engine like MSN.

I typed in my friends name and the city and state where we grew up and sure enough I did get a lot fewer results. Instead of hundreds of pages there are only eight. I started looking through those pages of results and I found a couple which I thought would surely lead me to find my lost friend. However, after an hour of searching I still came up empty.

Then I decided to try Yahoo. Since Yahoo search has been around longer than Google or MSN I thought I might have better luck there. Again I entered my friends name the city and state and this time I got about 30 pages of results. I started the arduous task of looking through each and every page and clicking on link after link. Now I was getting frustrated I spent all this time and still cannot find my lost friend.

I pretty much gave up on finding my friend until a couple months later when I discovered reunion.com. I decided to give the site a try and I was amazed at how quickly I was able to turn up results for my lost friend. The service was not free but considering the amount of time I have wasted trying to search in the regular search engines it was definitely worth the small price.

I was able to find a phone number for my friend and I gave them a call. He was very happy to hear from me. In fact, he had been searching for me also. We have a long phone conversation and it turns out that he lived close enough that we could meet for lunch. Although it was more difficult to locate my lost friend than I had imagined it was great to find him and I’m glad I put in the effort.

A professionally presented business website is a strong and essential promotional tool. It’s the first thing potential clients will look at before they decide to contact you. If the copy on your website is not well written, it may be costing you business. It is not enough merely to have eye-catching graphics and imagery, you need the right content to make it complete. Is the spelling correct? Are punctuation marks in place? Does the copy make sense? These are questions that website designers should be asking themselves before they upload a new website.

One of the biggest flaws with website copy is inconsistency. A lack of consistency could deter a large proportion of would-be customers from hiring the services of a company that has not proofread their website.

Poor spelling on a website is another costly but avoidable mistake. most visitors will leave the site very quickly if they discover too many spelling errors. This again will give them the impression that the site owners don’t really care. I am also certain that copy that has been ‘padded out’ with insignificant trivia is also unattractive for visitors. Clear, concise and informative content is the order of the day.

Anything containing textual content must as a matter of course be proofread. It’s vital that not only are mistakes in spelling, punctuation and grammar found and corrected, but that the text flows smoothly for the reader. The copy on a website should not be treated as the ‘poor relation’ of the website design project. You can have the most cutting-edge, eye-catching graphics available but you will still require well-written copy to compliment them.

There are many web design agencies around that will happily inform visitors how they can supply them with a state-of-the-art website but then use second-rate copy, which totally negates any good work they have achieved. This will reduce the initial impact of the site, and more often than not will have an adverse effect on business. However, there are also website design companies that use skilled writers so shop around. It pays to have the copy checked professionally, whether the web design company has written it themselves or had it supplied by the client. It may cost much less than you realise to have a website proofread and it could cost you considerably more if you don’t!

Remember, if people visiting your website cannot find the information they are looking for because of badly written copy then they will simply leave your site. The only people to benefit will be your competitors.

You should never underestimate the way your house looks when a buyer drives up the driveway. The exterior portion from the driveway or the street to your front door will make a lasting impression on any buyer, so putting in a little effort will pay off in the long run. Here are some simple things you can do to increase the resale value of your house.

Your garden, lawn and flower beds can certainly make a good first impression, no matter if the buyer has a green thumb or not. Everyone likes to be able to relax in pleasant outdoor surroundings with their family and friends. Try to keep your lawn trimmed and neat, remove any dead leaves that are lying around, and take some pruning shears to those overgrown shrubs. Do some weeding and remove any obvious clutter, such as left-over construction material, or broken pots and lawn ornaments.

With all the improvements you are lavishing on the outside of your home, there are a few simple things you can do to spruce up the interior. You don’t want to impress prospective buyers, only to disappoint them when they come inside.

A really obvious thing to do is clean all the windows, inside and out. Pull back the curtains and let lots of natural light play up your newly-decorated living areas. Light neutral colors appeal to almost everyone, but if you prefer a bit more color, then choose whatever hues are in vogue right now.

The kitchen is the main room of any home, so make sure it is free of clutter, clean, and that the appliances are in working order. If your cabinets need a face lift and you are not in the position to replace them, a good cleaning and new knobs and pulls could make a world of difference. Or try some paint first, then new hardware. The interior of your house should be cozy and inviting, so that the prospective buyer can imagine his family living there and feel good about it.

One of the easiest ways to dress up your home is to install a modern looking garage door. If you are in the Chicago area contact Allied Garage Door. They have been providing Chicago area home and business owners with North Shore garage doors and outstanding garage door service in the Chicago area for over 30 years.

If you are not planning on moving for a few years, there are some things you can do to increase the appeal of your house. These things should be looked upon as an investment that will enhance the lives of your family, and whoever purchases it from you when the time is right.

Consider these improvements: a brand new kitchen, a swimming pool, a fireplace in the living room which gives a romantic touch to the room. Or how about a deck or a porch for the house, new windows and doors, or a new contemporary style garage door that suits your house.

The micro bloging platform Twitter has carved itself quite a buzz in the last few months with a media frenzy of stars and celebrities using Twitter on their television shows , and Internet marketing gurus telling us we can leverage Twitter to hundreds of fans , the talk about Twitter is hard to avoid . You probably know people on Twitter and suppliers may have invited you to join them on Twitter . And that last point is what I want to mention today . What are YOU doing about it for yourself?

Twitter doesn’t look like it will disappear any time soon. In the meantime some are jumping on the band wagon, while others sit in the sidelines bemused.

But however you approach your Twitter strategy and there’s a great FREE training video about that at http://www.TrafficHug.com/twittervideo/ but whatever you do, you should be doing something. The least you’re likely to achieve is a handful of great relationships , ideally with some way of people finding you by your keyword, or your name. I mean a few people are just going to wonder if your business (or you) are on Twitter and type in twitter dot com slash acme widgets. Now it will be embarrassing is a cyber squatter is sitting on your own name, so another good reason to make sure you secure your place in the Twit’o’sphere. (By the way things can be done about cyber squatters, just ask me.)

In other articles we talk about how to get noticed for your keyword and how to manage your account for targeted conversion (also covered well in that free video I mentioned earlier) but let’s do something we can do right now.

Some business owners limit themselves to thinking Twitter traffic as stemming from Twitter internally . A concept most Twitter directories also foster. But in the real Twitter , the advantages of having your normal traffic subscribe to you on Twitter are enormous . So beneficial that we need to take action .

A very quick solution is to add a Twitter “badge” to your web presences . A badge is just an image showing who you are on Twitter with an active link to your Twitter identity. In the videos , there’s more advanced material , but a badge will start us off in a good direction .

WHERE CAN I GET MY TWITTER BADGE ?
You can get your own customised Twitter badge at no cost from this site ;
http://wwwTwitterHug.com/twitter/category/badge/ – FREE Customised Twitter FollowMe Badges .

You simply paste the HTML code it provides in to your website, store, or blog and your customised graphic with active link, will magically appear .

You can also paste the pure HTML in to most blog widgets. I’ve placed them on all my blogs.

The Twitter badge is housed in its own code block so should integrate easily almost anywhere.

You can create an HTML table or div layer to house it, then you can just paste the code in easily . With WYSIWYG html editors, there is usually an HTML “object” box you can place in the desired location and just place the code in to that. Adobe Dreamweaver users can just insert an AP Layer (from the insert menu) and then paste the code in to that using the HTML code view pane.

Integrating your Twitter page with your existing web properties is an essential strategy. One you can do in the next 10 minutes, with a few mouse clicks,

Maybe you have noticed that most snowmobile enthusiasts actually live for winter weather and a deep snowfall. As any snowmobile owner will tell you, it is never too early to prepare for winter fun.

The first piece of equipment to consider is your snowmobile trailer. A properly prepared trailer can make life much easier then having to deal with borrowing a pickup truck. Be sure your trailer is in shape to make your travel safe and worry free. Some snowmobile owners will try to get by with landscaping type trailers. The better snowmobile trailers may have steel frames, but the aluminum and alloy bodies lighten the overall weight and make towing easier. Most models will open front and rear to allow easy and fast drive-on and drive-off loading while still offering great weather protection. Another benefit of enclosed trailers is that they offer a much better storage option then filling your garage with your winter toys.

After the trailer, the serious snowmobile enthusiast will check his snowmobile and replace any snowmobile parts and accessories that might be needed. Off season is the time for upgrading snowmobile tracks and studs. Many experienced in snowmobiling recommend always having an extra set of skis since they tend to be one of the most often damaged parts. Today you can find snowmobile parts for Ski Doo, Yamaha, Artic Cat and Polaris by doing a quick search.

Finally, it is always a good idea to check over all your safety equipment. Everyone riding a snowmobile should have a good quality snowmobile helmet. Any sensible snowmobile rider appreciates the importance of having a protective snowmobile helmet. In addition to the helmet, be sure to have the proper snowmobile riding attire including jacket, pants, boots, and gloves. The correct attire not only has to protect you from the wet snow but also from the ever present wind chill. No matter how long a ride you plan, be sure you are dressed properly.

Most people, upon hearing of timeshares, think of timesharing scams or dubious timeshare salesmen trying to rob you of your fortune. The truth of the matter, though, is that most people are likely asking themselves what timeshares really are.To put it simply, a timeshare is a co-owned property, usually resorts, condominiums and villas.

Each owner of a particular timeshare is given a period of time to use it in any give year, which could be a week or a month depending on the location. Some people may be asking “what is timeshare good for when you have to cohabitate a house with other people?” This is the main reason for people not wanting to participate in buying a timeshare; the idea that the house is not really yours even though you pay for it.

A timeshare is like any other resort or building that somebody lives in. The difference is that, instead of one or two owners, there are several dozen or more.

Visiting a good timeshare website help to give you an idea of what the relationship is between a timeshare and a timeshare renter or owner. You don’t have to go out and buy some timeshare to enjoy the benefits of timeshares – you can always rent timeshares from others. The truth is, it’s not really that difficult to get a grasp of how timeshares work.

The one driving force behind the appeal of timeshares is the fact that you are able to visit places you never dreamed you’d ever set foot upon. Timeshares make dream homes affordable for everyone. However, it does not mean that only the educated calss find timeshares appealing.

People of all walks of life enjoy timeshares mainly because, if done correctly, purchasing a timeshare can help you to save quite a lot of money during your vacation. Timeshare is basically a joint-ownership of vacation homes. So give it a try and make your dream vacations come true.
