Email Extractor 14

Email Extractor is a spider program that extracts email addresses from websites. This extractor can extract more than a 1000 email addresses per minute. It has been designed for fast email extraction using minimum amount of computer resources. Also, the program is automated and runs in the background, when other tasks are being performed by the user. Duplicate emails are eliminated and only unique emails are saved in the system. It can extract emails based on a domain name or a search criteria specified. It uses the top search engines Google, Yahoo, and MSN to get hold of the websites for the keywords entered. Hence, the email addresses obtained are from the top website results for these keywords. The search in email extractor is keyword specific. If email addresses for an orange juice product marketing campaign is required, the keywords of orange juice is entered into the search fields. Neat email lists are compiled once the emails are extracted and are imported into emailing programs.

Email campaigns are designed to attract more visitors to products and services of online advertisers and marketers. Up to 30% jump in profits is noticed from successful email campaigns. To make more money from email marketing, an email extractor is a must. The more emails extracted from an email extractor enables one to send his marketing campaign to more people. In marketing terms, more people mean more money. This software is designed to extract the maximum number of emails from websites and web pages. An email spider, it searches for keywords in web pages and collects them in lists. Once these emails are collected, the duplicates are eliminated. Many email programs and harvesters do not have the ability to identify broken or inappropriate emails. This program easily sees the difference between a genuine, a fake, a broken or a vulgar email address. It selects only real, genuine and high yield addresses. High yield harvesting is a key feature of this program. It searches for email addresses associated with product keywords and with higher relevance. These addresses are given higher priority over other addresses.

People employed in sales, internet or affiliate marketing reaps rich dividends by using email spider programs. This spider is 100 times faster than other programs and also does not suffer from freeze problems. Freezing is a pertinent issue with extractors as they scan hundreds of web pages for email addresses. It also has an auto save feature that saves the saved emails between intervals, saving possibly lost work. Using this affordable software, a huge increase in sales is witnessed by customers. Many say it is much better than other email extractors and harvesters available in the market.  They also see it as a good investment for their home and sales businesses.

Digital Vaporizer

[Digital vaporizer’s] are machines used to vaporize plant, herbs or tobacco substances to be inhaled by customers. This is an easy alternative to smoking, due to the present ban issued by many governments on it. A [digital vaporizer] heats the objects placed inside it to 180° to 356° F. This heating leads to vaporization, instead of smoke. The produced vapors are further filtered of harmful, toxic gases such as carbon monoxide by water filtering or a water-ice filter. The resultant vapors are inhaled to obtain the resultant effect of the materials. A [digital vaporizer] reduces the harmful effects of second hand smoke and also overcomes the bans issued in public places. Most [digital vaporizer’s] have a cone shaped body with temperature control settings. Most [vaporizers] are fitted with solid valve setups along with the main unit. The main unit generates the hot air in the unit. Most also have an in-built air filter set. The other components are [vaporizer accessories]-valves, mouthpiece, filling chamber, filling chamber insert, screen set, balloon hose set, liquid pad, balloon chip, balloon ring set and brush tool.

[Herbal vaporizers] are designed to promote healthy substance abuse. It allows enjoying herbs or tobacco at a person’s disposal without subjecting him to harmful and hazardous carcinogens. The materials are cut into suitable proportions and placed inside the [herb vaporizer]. The [herb vaporizer] generates only enough heat to vaporize the objects without burning them. [Marijuana vaporizer’s] are also known as “Bong” vaporizer’s. [Marijuana vaporizer’s] deliver a clean and healthy experience of the Marijuana herbs, without subjecting the inhaler to the harmful effects produced by burning these herbs. Burning Marijuana generates toxins known as cannabinoids, which are known to be harmful to the respiratory system. The Pickle vaporizer is the [best vaporizer] available in the market among [Marijuana vaporizer’s]. Ease of use coupled with quality and low cost, make this vaporizer ownable.

[Vaporizers] are better to use than Hookah’s; due to their efficiency and ability to control the temperature of the material’s used. [Vaporizers] do not leave the harshness in the throat, develop coughing or lead to sore throats like smoking. Inhaling the vapor’s produced by [vaporizers] give a pleasant feeling, while retaining the essence and aroma of the herbs. Water pipes used by many people are known to get rid of tars and harmful gases, but are not able to handle harmful carcinogens. A [Portable vaporizer] is used by people on the go. They are used by people suffering from various diseases. [Portable vaporizer’s] are small and compact in size. They are designed to be carried around easily, are handy and come with reusable batteries. Heating element of vaporizer’s are usually made of aluminium, glass or quartz. Tobacco vaporizers are used by people who are allergic or find difficulty in smoking tobacco. Inhaling tobacco vapors is beneficial for people incapable of giving up the habit and also suffering from smoking related side effects such as irritation and coughing. Vapors prevent harmful chemical from tobacco entering into an individual’s body.

Web Crawlers

Web crawlers are bots or programs designed to perform automated crawls on web pages. They are also known by the terms spiders or ants. Crawlers create a copy of the web pages visited by them to be indexed later by the search engine. Other crawlers also exist. Some are used to validate HTML code in web pages; others are used to gather email addresses from web pages also known as harvesters. Crawlers require URL feeds known as Seeds to enable them to crawl web pages. Most crawlers or bots are associated with a dedicated URL server on the same host machine from which the crawling is carried out.

The Technique of Web Crawlers

As web pages are crawled, the hyperlinks on the pages are noted and reserved to be crawled next. This is known as the crawl frontier. How deep a crawler mines into the web is dependent on each and every search engine. Search engines are known to only crawl 16% of the web for their purposes. As crawlers are nothing but programs written in high-level languages such as C, C++, Python or Java, they are capable of running multiple connections at the same time. Many search engines have 300 to 350 crawler programs or open connections running at the same time. They are capable of mining deep into the web and carrying out different variations in searches with conditions due to the dynamic code written in them.

Diferent Types of Crawlers

Breadth First Search

Breadth First Search or BFS is a graph search algorithm that begins at the root node and then moves to the nodes associated with the root node in the given fashion. Crawlers use this crawling strategy to crawl the web and make copies of the web pages. As a single page is crawled, a copy of it is saved and the hyperlinks on the page are collected next to be crawled. This crawling goes on; till it reaches the maximum number of pages the crawler is capable of making copies of.

Path Ascending Crawlers

Path ascending crawlers are crawlers designed to crawl and make copies of all the web pages in the URL path of a web page. Hence, if a web page is contained within the third sub-directory of a website, all the web pages in those directories would be crawled. They are specific to the websites being crawled. Path ascending crawlers are known to download a lot of content from the websites crawled by them. This may include videos, PowerPoint presentations, images, and PDF files.

Focused Crawlers

Focused crawlers are also known as topical crawlers. In this crawling method, the website is crawled on the basis of the topics covered. The crawler downloads pages similar in topical quality. It does this by following the hyperlinks on the pages being crawled and crawling them in similar fashion.

Distributed Crawling

This crawling method is more of a crawler hardware configuration methodology, than a crawling method. Different computers or servers are given crawlers to achieve maximum throughput in download rates. It is also meant to reduce the bandwidth of the central crawling servers.

Crawling the Web

Website content is updated every week or in weeks by web administrators. Crawlers return to a website in many weeks after their initial crawl. By this time, new content would have been added to the web pages. Search queries would not have these newly updated pages in their search results for the same (week loss) reasons. Crawlers handle this by maintaining a page crawl frequency for every page. If a page is found to be updated frequently after its initial crawl, it is given an appropriate updation ratio or index also known as the update frequency of a page. These pages are crawled more frequently dependent on a frequency ratio. Hence, the frequency ratio of an often updated page is more than a less updated page. Relevance and page rank are also dependent on updation ratios. Search engines might penalize websites that update content frequently without adding anything of relevance with each updation. This might affect their eventual relevance and page rank. Frequent updations without much value addition are seen as a sign of weakness by web engines.

Web crawlers are known to take a lot of server bandwidth causing servers to slowdown, develop bugs or even crash. The robots exclusion protocol has the robots.txt file which can be used to specify the pages needed to be ignored by the engines. Also, the interval of time between requests to download resources from a website can be specified in the ‘crawl-delay’ parameter in the same file. Web crawlers are designed with highly optimized architectures to deliver maximum performance and efficiency. Crawler strategies and architectures are kept as business secrets and are not disclosed to anyone. Search engine spamming is also a major concern other than commercial search engine baiters, who try to take advantage of them.

Different Web Crawlers

The Yahoo crawler is called Slurp!. It uses different searching styles to crawl the web as it is based on different technologies due to its acquisitions of other search engines. The Google crawler is a C++ and Python based crawler. It is highly integrated with its indexing process. FAST crawler is a distributed crawler. Methabot is a web crawler written in the C language. PolyBot is another distributed crawler written in C++ and Python. It has a crawl manager, a dedicated downloader and a DNS resolver. The URLs collected on web pages are stored and processed later. WebCrawler is a crawler built to create a simple full-text index of the web. It was designed to operate on the breadth first search algorithm. World wide worm is a simple index of document titles and URLs. The document title and URLs could be searched using a simple grep UNIX command.

WebFountain is a distributed, modular crawler built using the C++ language. It uses a controller machine connected to several spider or ant machines for a modular crawling pattern. WebRace is a crawler and cacher developed in Java language. It is a crawler which follows user requests for downloading web pages similar to a directory. When pages are updated, they are downloaded again and users are notified of the change.

The CAN-SPAM Act: Requirements for Commercial Emailers

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.

The law, which became effective January 1, 2004, covers email whose primary purpose is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including content on a Web site. A "transactional or relationship message" – email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship – may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is authorized to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act. CAN-SPAM also gives the Department of Justice (DOJ) the authority to enforce its criminal sanctions. Other federal and state agencies can enforce the law against organizations under their jurisdiction, and companies that provide Internet access may sue violators, as well.

What the Law Requires

Here's a rundown of the law's main provisions:

       It bans false or misleading header information. Your email's "From," "To," and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person who initiated the email.

       It prohibits deceptive subject lines. The subject line cannot mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message.

       It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method. You must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages to that email address, and you must honor the requests. You may create a "menu" of choices to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to end any commercial messages from the sender.

Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your commercial email. When you receive an opt-out request, the law gives you 10 business days to stop sending email to the requestor's email address. You cannot help another entity send email to that address, or have another entity send email on your behalf to that address. Finally, it's illegal for you to sell or transfer the email addresses of people who choose not to receive your email, even in the form of a mailing list, unless you transfer the addresses so another entity can comply with the law.

       It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender's valid physical postal address. Your message must contain clear and conspicuous notice that the message is an advertisement or solicitation and that the recipient can opt out of receiving more commercial email from you. It also must include your valid physical postal address.

Penalties

Each violation of the above provisions is subject to fines of up to $16,000 . Deceptive commercial email also is subject to laws banning false or misleading advertising.

Additional fines are provided for commercial emailers who not only violate the rules described above, but also:

       "harvest" email addresses from Web sites or Web services that have published a notice prohibiting the transfer of email addresses for the purpose of sending email

       Generate email addresses using a "dictionary attack" – combining names, letters, or numbers into multiple permutations

       Use scripts or other automated ways to register for multiple email or user accounts to send commercial email

       Relay emails through a computer or network without permission – for example, by taking advantage of open relays or open proxies without authorization.

The law allows the DOJ to seek criminal penalties, including imprisonment, for commercial emailers who do – or conspire to:

       Use another computer without authorization and send commercial email from or through it

       Use a computer to relay or retransmit multiple commercial email messages to deceive or mislead recipients or an Internet access service about the origin of the message

       Falsify header information in multiple email messages and initiate the transmission of such messages

       Register for multiple email accounts or domain names using information that falsifies the identity of the actual registrant

       Falsely represent themselves as owners of multiple Internet Protocol addresses that are used to send commercial email messages.

Additional Rules

The FTC will issue additional rules under the CAN-SPAM Act involving the required labeling of sexually explicit commercial email and the criteria for determining "the primary purpose" of a commercial email. Look for the rule covering the labeling of sexually explicit material in April 2004; "the primary purpose" rulemaking will be complete by the end of 2004. The Act also instructs the FTC to report to Congress in summer 2004 on a National Do Not E-Mail Registry, and issue reports in the next two years on the labeling of all commercial email, the creation of a "bounty system" to promote enforcement of the law, and the effectiveness and enforcement of the CAN-SPAM Act.

See the FTC Web site at www.ftc.gov/spam for updates on implementation of the CAN-SPAM Act.

The FTC maintains a consumer complaint database of violations of the laws that the FTC enforces. Consumers can submit complaints online at www.ftc.gov and forward unwanted commercial email to the FTC at spam@uce.gov.

Portable Solar Heaters‏

Portable solar heaters are used to provide hot air inside rooms, homes or other dwellings to raise the room temperature. It is beneficial for people leaving in colder climates or sub-zero weather conditions. The device has fans that move the hot air generated inside to be moved around the room. Due to its portability, it can be carried from one room to another or from place to place.

Assembly of a Portable Solar Heater

A portable solar heater is made up of a an enclosure, the collector panel for collecting the solar energy, spaced rectangular angles, side walls, baffles between the angles, and an insulation lining. As most solar heaters are designed to retain heat inside the enclosure, many have insulated chambers. The solar collector panel is mounted on the opening of the enclosure. They have a highly reflective surface to allow the sun rays to be absorbed.

The blower assembly is necessary to blow the hot air in the rooms. This assembly is connected to the heat storage system. The heating storage uses either water to store the heat generated inside the enclosure or hard stones and rocks. This generated heat is insulated and maintained inside. Electrical motors power the blower assembly and the fan.

Solar Space Heaters

Window panels of 2x4 are used for solar space heaters. Most space heater’s retail for $239. They are attached to windows with suction cups. An air intake from one side and a heat blower or exhaust at another end makes the solar space heater unique. Some space heaters are mounted on roofs to let the heat into the room through the ceiling. Many are meant to supplement the inadequate heat provided by furnaces in the house. Many units are cumbersome and ugly in appearance. A Radiant heating panel is sometimes used instead of the entire unit and retails for $49 per piece. Using pellet heating stoves inside basements can be a suitable alternative to this heater. Houses should be preferably insulated in the living room and the basements. Some space heaters are powered by propane or kerosene and are available at Home Depot & Lowe’s. The Alternative Energy Store is a good source for space heaters. Models available are the Cansolair, Solarsheet, and Solarwall. Most solar heaters do not provide primary heat as they derive energy from solar rays. Their heat is more supplemental in nature. Solar heaters are best used in combination with conventional heaters. And also, when there is enough sunlight during the daytime. They are estimated to reduce the energy bills by 30 to 40 percent.

Portable Solar Water Heaters/Containers

Portable solar water heaters are ideal for showers when on the road or while travelling on express trains. It provides you the luxury of being at home, while on the road. It can be carried in your backpack, suitcase, or luggage to any destination in the world. Solar water heating systems such as tanks and containers are economically rewarding. They are easy to manage, install and build. Most people build their own solar heating system. The cheapest systems can be built for $1000. They are energy efficient and also qualify for the federal tax rebate. There are five types of solar water heating systems. They are batch systems, thermosyphon, open loop direct, pressurized glycol and closed-loop drainback. Batch heaters have the collector and storage tank in one unit. A tank of water enclosed in an insulated box and covered with glass is placed in the Sun. demand for water from the home, pushes the potable water into the pipes and the cold water into the tank to be heated again. Thermosyphon systems are simple passive systems. It is based on the principle of rising heat. Once the potable water is heated, it rises to the top. Cold water replaces the warm water at the bottom. The plus point of this system is that water can be used anytime of the day including night time, due to the water being placed in insulated tanks. Open loop direct systems heat the water directly from the solar collectors and pass them on into the storage tanks. Pressurized glycol systems use heating coils in their water storage tanks. A mixture of Propylene Glycol and water keeps the solar collectors from freezing in sub-zero temperatures. Closed loop drained back systems are based on distilled water. The distilled water is the heat transfer agent. It has never to be changed. They have a drainback reservoir between the collectors and the storage tanks, where the distilled water accumulates.

Cordless Phone Batteries‏

[Cordless phone batteries] are used in cordless phones. Cordless phones are used by people who need to move around freely in their homes, while they are on a call. It is based on the “Walk While You Talk” idea. You can carry them around from one room to another in your house. [Cordless phone batteries] are designed as per phone brand and model.

The batteries used in cordless phones are Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium-Ion batteries. NiCd and NiMH batteries are preferred for cell phones. Nickel Cadmium rechargeable batteries are known for better performance and reliability. They have a better shelf life and can be stored for many days. Cadmium in these batteries is unsafe for the environment. These batteries come with static charge, which has to be removed. This is done by discharging and recharging the batteries for up to 8 hours. NiMH batteries are known to have a better power charge than other batteries. They can provide up to 25% more charge than normal batteries, which helps you talk for longer time periods on your cordless phones. They are environment friendly and are used in other appliances such as digital cameras, Mp3 players or toys. The life of these batteries is limited and starts to fail after repeated charges. Lithium-Ion batteries are good for portable devices. They have 40% more power density than NiCd batteries. These batteries are 40% more expensive than other rechargeable batteries.

How to Select the Right Ones

Choosing the right [cordless phone batteries] is both essential and important for your cordless phone. Though, standard cordless phones come with their own brand of batteries, this is not the rule. Third party batteries are widely available nowadays and can be purchased from battery vending stores or online battery websites. Many are lower in price and better in performance than the brand ones. They also work perfectly with the phone chargers of the branded phones.

Charging Batteries

New [cordless phone batteries] are difficult to charge and take longer than batteries already in use. Rechargeable batteries are easier to charge in this connection. They take about 10-15 minutes compared to other batteries. Normal batteries require being charged 3 to 4 times before they acquire a full charge. Many a times, when the batteries are not getting charged even after long periods of charging, you must remove them from the charger socket and reinsert them. This is necessary to reset the charge cycles of batteries, especially new ones.

Maintaining the batteries is very important. To do this, the charger pins should always be cleaned with a Q-tip and alcohol. This maintains the better connection between the battery and the charger. Batteries need to be charged and discharged atleast twice a month. They have to be recharged again to be placed inside the phone. This practice ensures longer life of the batteries and also better performance in the long run. Li-Ion batteries do not need to follow this cycle as they do not suffer from the flux effect present in other batteries. You must ensure your phone batteries do not go unused for long periods of time. This is necessary as batteries are known to become useless, if not used for long periods of time. Try using them atleast twice a month. If a battery is not used for a long time it might need to be deeply discharged before being used. For this, try using multiple packs of batteries for your phones. This will multiply their lifetimes. Also remember to keep the batteries out of high temperature zones or moisture. This is also applicable to the phone too. Using batteries designed for the brand and model always ensures better performance than using 3^rd party batteries. Ensure to remove the batteries from the phone, if they are not going to be used for a long time. This will improve the life of the batteries. Try storing removed batteries in a cool and dry place. Always try discharging batteries before recharging them, as batteries that are charged with low charge have difficulty maintaining their functionality.

When disposing batteries, you should be careful not to through them in the trash or garbage. They should be handed over to a recycling agency, which takes care of them. Throwing batteries in the trash or in fire can result in their explosion and hurt people standing nearby. They may also release harmful chemicals or toxins in the air. Most local recycling centers have local pickups for batteries. You can also drop them off at their local centers. Many auto part stores are also known to accept these [cordless phone batteries] provided you bring them in bags, which are clean and dry.
