Internet forums are highly popular, catering to all tastes and covering every topic imaginable. People visit internet forums for various reasons, most commonly to seek information or entertainment. While an internet forum can be a safe environment if you behave sensibly, you can find yourself in dangerous territory if you ignore these warnings.
Avoid Internet Forum Flame Wars
Internet forum flame wars should be avoided at all costs. While healthy debates and conversations keep forums lively, getting involved in or starting a flame war can damage your reputation and potentially result in being banned from the forum. Moreover, you may unintentionally find yourself in the line of fire when participating in a flame war.
Be Cautious with Jokes on Internet Forums
You can tell jokes on internet forums as long as they are appropriate, but be aware that the medium shares the same downside as email: readers can’t see your facial expressions or gestures. Misinterpretation can lead to unintentional flame wars, so tread carefully with sarcasm and irony.

Mechanical engineers invented the technologies of efficient air conditioning and refrigeration systems. These systems not only keep people safe and comfortable, but also preserve food and medical supplies through refrigeration. We often don’t appreciate the importance of air conditioning until it’s gone, such as during the European heatwave in 2003, when over 10,000 people died due to extreme temperatures.
Mechanical engineers apply principles of heat transfer and energy conversion to design refrigeration systems that maintain and store food from its source to the household. Early refrigeration systems, dating back to the 1880s, were primarily used in commercial industries but required significant maintenance and posed safety risks. The invention of Freon in 1930 marked a turning point for the commercialization of safe residential refrigeration and air conditioning. Today, environmentally friendly alternatives to Freon are used to protect the Earth’s ozone layer.
The next revolution in this field is computer-aided technology. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) refers to a range of automation technologies in mechanical engineering, including using computers for calculations, technical drawings, performance simulations, and machine tool control.
In recent years, computing and information technologies have transformed mechanical engineering practices. Engineers now have access to advanced computer-aided design and … ...Read the rest.

So, you have a website up and running. While it may have impressive visuals, it could be lacking sound, which is a crucial element for creating a personal connection with your audience.
Streaming audio is a powerful technology that is easy to implement. If you can edit and update your website, you can add audio to it. The technology is based on Macromedia Flash, which is installed on nearly every computer. Flash enables audio and video playback, but you will need one of the tools mentioned here to provide the missing link in the online audio puzzle.
There are two types of solutions: simple, low-cost, stand-alone software that records and converts to Flash format, and subscription-based online services that offer a wide range of features.
Stand-alone solutions (“pay once, use forever”):
If you’re comfortable with updating your website or have a virtual assistant to help, one of these two programs could be perfect for you. The advantage of using software is that you pay a small licensing fee once and can use the program indefinitely.
- Impact Web Audio (PC only): This Windows-based software offers an easy way to add new or existing audio recordings to your website. Features include:

A Stroll (over the River Lea)
As the audience members take their seats, visuals of a peaceful stroll over the River Lea play, creating a calming atmosphere. The music fades, and the stage goes dark, enveloped in silence. Suddenly, a single spotlight illuminates a part of the stage. Simon Critchley (SC) enters, finds his place, and addresses the audience:
SC: Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am Simon Critchley, and lurking in the darkness is John Simmons. Together, we are Critchley & Simmons—not a firm of solicitors, but a vibrant exploration of words, sounds, and images.
Music matters immensely to many people, but its significance and impact remain enigmatic. Why does music matter? Why does it speak to us so powerfully? A little philosophy may help. Tonight, we’ll peer into the enigma of music, shedding some light on its mystery.
We begin with Albert Freiherr von Thimus (1806-1878), a lawyer, judge, and Prussian politician whose work on music, Die harmonikale Symbolik des Alterthums (The Harmonic Symbolism of the Ancient World), was largely ignored during his lifetime. Von Thimus delved into the ancient Pythagorean theory of music, the so-called “harmony of the spheres,” which posits that the heavenly bodies … ...Read the rest.
