Fixes for Computer/Laptop with very slow response rate

Do you have a PC or Laptop that just seems to respond to your commands at a very slow rate? Well, do not be alarmed as there are quite a number of possible causes for this problem. Attempt the following fixes from top to bottom:

1. Virus Infestation.
Some viruses cause your computer to slow down, so do not forget to do Anti-virus scanning and removal. It is recommended to run anti-virus programs in safe mode or at boot level as viruses are not active then hence easy to disinfect and clean off.
2. Hard Drive Storage space is full or almost full.
Do some housekeeping by way of doing the Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files, Registry Cleanup to clear off dead registry entries, Disk Defragmentation to defragment files on your hard drive, Uninstall software/programs not essential or used regularly, etc..
3. Not enough memory/RAM capacity to process all the commands at once.
Check your RAM/memory capacity; if it’s too little, then it’s advisable to upgrade your RAM to 512MB or 1GB or more, the higher the RAM, the faster your computer responds due to sufficient memory capacity.
4. Low Voltage or current passing into your computer.
If the above 3 checks has been performed but still no improvement, then check the voltage or current received by your computer. If you are not that tech savvy, then use in place of your current power adapter another one from a good computer or purchased new from a retail outlet and try it on.

With that I trust that you should have fixed the slowness of your computer or laptop by now. 

Practical Village Concept # 2: Village Event's Calendar

The second village concept is to have a calendar for annual village events. The councillor and village elders should get together and pick out significant traditional cultures and assigned dates of the year for these events to take place. The year should be planned out strategically so that people have the time to prepare well for each event. These events and their scheduled dates should be made known to the villagers such that it becomes a part of them. Examples of these annual events could be a "Village day" (similar to Provincial day), Canoe Racing Day, End of year celebration, and the list goes on. Once these events become annual events, it will become attraction events for tourists to come celebrate, enjoy and provide income for the people as these events are regular annual events with specific dates for them to happen. This idea again is attributed to my elder sibling for another brilliant practical village concept.

Practical Village Concept # 1: Village Census Data Keeping

This is my first post on the topic of village improvement in terms of living standards and quality livelihood of the village people. This first concept I wish to point out is that of a database or record of all the people that live within the village to be made, kept and maintained. The idea is that, the village councillor, as part of his duties to collect all the information of the individuals and families within his village and kept as his record for the village. Every six months or at the end of every year he/she should conduct a village census and keep a record of the village's own population. In that way when the country conducts its population census, the village will be prepared and have readily available the village census information to provide to the country's population census office. The data could also be utilized for other ways to improve the quality of life for the people. I attribute this concept to my elder sibling for this very practical idea.

New Look Lae City

On a recent visit to Lae recently at the end of May this year 2012, after 5 years since my last visit, I've noticed that Lae has definitely changed in a big way. The pot holes of Lae city are now fast turning into concrete paths for vehicles to drive and people to walk on. A couple of shots below show the concrete roads of the new look Lae Town.

Planet Rock or The Liquid Inn building is now no more and Theodist and other buildings have taken residence along the Markham Road. The old Lae Airport now is a container yard as can be seen below also.

Eriku has also changed with Bar fences fencing the Huon Road on both sides and the new Raumai 18 building is pictured below as well.

You will have to visit Lae for yourself to see the new look Lae City.

EMTV's Election Focus Program

The Election Focus program aired on EMTV every Sunday is one really good pragram that EMTV has come up with. Mr. Eggins, the host of the show interviews people, so far, current members of parliament in the likes of Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Namah and Mr. Polye about their actions and future endeavours as leaders of the country. I congratulate EMTV for coming up with this program, as it puts our leaders on the spot, it asks them to justify their actions as well as seek their opinions on current issues, and we the citizens of this country can really see for ourselves what they are really like. I encourage the PNG media society to do more of this type of programs and interviews.

Something for the voting public to think about

I'd like to make a point here for all eligible voters to take note of when listening to candidates' campaigns to lure your vote. Listen carefully to what they are saying, if they preach about bringing water, electricity, etc... to your area, they must explain how they are going to do it. Do not be fooled by their talks, they must tell you how they plan to achieve what they want to do for you. Anybody can say what they want but only the ones who have the skills to attract investors, seek and obtain funds for their projects are the real leaders you want to vote for. These leaders will actually deliver their promises to you. So be aware when you listen to candidates preachings and pick out the ones that know how to deliver or have set plans on how to deliver their promises to you.

Listen carefully now and vote the right leader who will deliver for you.

Papua New Guinea 2012 National Elections

It's the time of the year again, where the nation goes to the polls to elect the best person to represent them in the house of parliament for the next five years. The Electoral Commission as well as serveral intending candidates have been making awareness for all to choose carefully who they want to represent them, as the next five years will see alot of revenue coming into the country mostly through the LNG Project. The right leader will ensure all these funds will go to the right areas whereas a crook leader will misuse these funds, hence awareness is made to the public to choose good leaders. Here in the nations capital, campaigning is full on with cars installed with loud hailers promoting their candidates throughout the day and posters and banners of candidates almost everywhere you look. It is said there are about 3400 people contesting for the 111 seats of parliament and about 45 different political parties vieing for the Prime Ministers seat. June 23rd is said to be the start of voting, so little time is left for candidates to convince the people to vote for them by getting their policies and messages across to the people.
