How to Create an Email Template in Zoho Mail

Wednesday May 2, 2012

In August 1882, a Chicago iron foundry got a new, unlikely neighbor: O.J. Smith, R.W. Nelson and G.W. Cummings founded the American Press Association.
What started as a readyprint shop — selling local newspapers sheets already printed on one side with stories and adverts — soon turned into a plate service selling local newspapers ready-made printing plates with stories and adverts.
The American Press Association's heads brooding over iron plates for printing next to plates wrought noisily, perhaps, for iron boilers soon had newsmakers joke about those "boiler plates" coming from Chicago.

How to Append Your Signature Automatically in IncrediMail

Friday April 27, 2012

You're in an elevator, and the inevitable happens: a sudden thud; something is going on; you feel heavy.
Now, since the cabin has a large mirror but no window and the door is closed, you do and can not know whether you're feeling heavier than before because the elevator has just accelerated upwards or whether somebody placed a truly heavy weight and mass to the lift right below you.
