Top 10 happiest countries in the world

Top 10 happiest countries in the world

How is happiness measured?

Happiness can be very subjective. Some people are happy when it rains, others are happy when the sun is shining. So how is it measured? Apparently the people at World Database of Happiness take into account a number of different things such as average life expectancy and most importantly the answer to the following multiple choice question “How happy are you?” (Although the actual question has varied a bit throughout the years). Having all the variables they run it through a computer and get a number from 1 to 10. The bigger the number, the happier the country

Happiest countries in the world

10. Luxembourg – 7.6 points


Living in the worlds richest country inevitably puts a smile on your face! This small landlocked European country has an army of 800 people (yes, 800). They don’t have a navy nor an air force but together with Belgium they can afford to own 1 military cargo plane. Beat that US! :twisted:
According to the Guinness Book of World Records Luxembourg holds the world record as the country that consumes most alcohol in the world per citizen.

9. Guatemala – 7,6 points

This Central American country borders with Mexico in the north and is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This location makes it a very difficult country to stay happy in – Guatemala is frequently ravished by hurricanes and earthquakes that often kill thousands of people. Main exports of Guatemala include coffee, sugar and bananas. The latter is probably why they are so happy – have you ever seen someone that can stay sad while eating a banana? :lol: 56% of all Guatemalans live in poverty. If you ask me, they can use the cheap bananas!

8. Canada – 7,6 points

Many people have no idea that Canada’s head of state is actually Queen Elizabeth II – the head of the British Monarchy. This meant that when Britain declared war on Germany in World War I, Canada was automatically at war with the soon to be Nazi country. Unlike the neighboring US, Canada has never cancelled its relations with Cuba and has declined to take part from the Iraq War – instead, it has played a leading role in the United Nations peacekeeping missions and helped to launch a $1.5 billion initiative to help develop vaccines that could save millions of people in poor countries. It seems that happy people make a happy country!

7. Sweden – 7,7 points


This “welfare state” model is an excellent example of effective national taxes.  Among other things the state provides universal tax-funded childcare, parental leave, health care, education (including university), retirement pensions and sick leave. Including value added tax (VAT – kind of like sales tax), it is possible to pay up to 80% of your income as taxes. Contrary to popular belief, Swedes are quite OK with their high taxes – after all it gives them tons of high quality services and they almost never need to take drastic action like taking quick payday
loans
 just to make ends meet. In fact, most of the services for the public are free, so what’s not to be happy about?
Sweden is also the home of IKEA – the worlds largest furniture store. IKEA’s founder Ingvar Kampard is famous for being the 7th richest person in the world (Net worth $31 billion) and driving a 15 year old Volvo station wagon. It has been claimed that more people read the Ikea catalogue than the Bible – and that one in ten Europeans have been conceived on an Ikea bed.

6. Australia – 7,7 points

The name “Australia” comes from the Latin word“Australis”, meaning “Southern”. Australia is the only country in the world, that consists of an entire continent. Between 1788 and 1868 the British used Australia as a colony to deport their convicted criminals – these people are the predecessors to many of today’s citizens. Australians are famous for playing rugby and calling each-other “mates”.

5. Finland – 7,7 points

This is the country that brought us Nokia – the worlds largest manufacturer of mobile phones. In 2003 Nokia accounted for about a quarter of Finland’s exports and in 2006 it generated more revenue than the entire budget of Finland.  Before starting to make mobile phones Nokia made (yes, it’s true) rubber boots!  Finland was also home to Simo Häyhä – considered to be the most deadly sniper through history with 542 kills. According to World Economic Forum Finland has the most competitive economy in the world. Plenty to be happy about!

4. Iceland – 7,8 points

This geologically active country is rich in volcanoes and geysers (A geyser is a hot spring that erupts water in certain intervals). Thanks to geothermal power Iceland gets its electricity and hot water dirt cheap. There have been occasions where steel has been shipped for processing from Australia or Africa and when finished shipped back to the originating country. Cheap local energy actually makes this cost effective. According to the Human Development Index, Iceland (together with Norway) is the world’s most developed country

3. Austria – 8,0 points

Austria is the home to the popular energy drink Red Bull. This country is also one of the few in the world, that allows legal voting beginning from age 16. Upon turning 18, all Austrian males have to take part of a 6 month military service. The country has declared itself formally a neutral country or a  “perpetual neutrality” as they say it, but in reality it has taken part of various peacekeeping missions and also took part of the UN sanctions against Iraq. Thanks to the wide use of wind-, solar- and hydropower Austria produces around 80% of its energy from renewable resources. Education is mostly free, with the exception of an average semester fee of 583 dollars (370 eur) in universities. As you probably guessed – student loan debts are not an issue in Austria.

2. Switzerland – 8,1 points

This cheese and chocolate producing land is the world’s 10th richest country. Switzerland’s neutrality helped their banks to raise some serious cash – for decades it was possible to open a bank account without having to identify yourself. Upon opening an account, you were given a special number that anyone could use to deposit or withdraw money. This law was later changed since it attracted illegal money. Switzerland is also one of the top garbage recyclers in the world (66% to 96% recyclable materials recycled). They achieve this by keeping recycling free, but asking money for regular garbage – thus giving people a financial incentive to recycle.

1. Denmark – 8,2 points


Just like Sweden, Denmark is a Nordic welfare state with most of its services free to the citizens. Expect to pay 72% of your money to the government on the highest income tax bracket. According to Wikipedia Denmark has the worlds highest taxes! When buying a car in Denmark one has to pay 25% VAT to the import price of the vehicle and then a 180% registration tax on top. That means when a car sells for $20 000, you have to pay an additional $45 000 as taxes for the government (total of $65 000). That’s why people in Denmark ride bikes or use one of the best public transport systems in the world. Denmark also has 2 autonomous provinces – the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The latter is over 50 times larger than Denmark but has about 100 times less people.

Other notable countries

  • USA – 7.4 points – 17th place
  • Great Britain – 7.1 points – 22nd place
  • France – 6.5 points – 39th place
  • China – 6.3 points – 44th place
  • India – 6.3 points – 45th place
  • Japan – 6.3 points – 46th place

Create custom blog with wordpress

Wordpress Tips and Tricks and Tutorial to customize the html 
and css for blog and website Wordpress

Create custom blog with blogger

To customize the html and css a blogger blog (Blogspot) 
and Super Tips Guide For Blogspot!!
In dedication to the platform that hosts this blog,
 I point out all those who have a website or blog on Blogger.com 
(those ending in blogspot ) which was released the new interface , 
which is still being tested and to be activated manually.

New interface for Blogger and Blogspot blo

Blogger, for the uninitiated, is a service for creating and
 publishing blog for free and without the need to have technical skills.
Blogger was created nearly 11 years by the same genes

 that have later found Twitter, was bought by Google in 2003
 and is today among the top 10 most visited websites in the world.
This year, Blogger (like all Google sites) undergoes a sharp
 renovation and restyling of its interface to open, manage
 and write blogs to be publ
ished on the internet.

Google has rewritten the user interface of Blogger from scratch , changing it completely and radically in the graphics, but not in functionality.
If you own a website or blog Blogger Blogspot domain on its own can try the new interface by accessing the site draft.blogger.com .

It can always go back to the old editor by going to www.blogger.com .


gs

New Blogger is the most beautiful graphics to see, all clear 
and white page with a neater and more modern style.
The door to the left menu features: list post, list pages, 

manage comments, settings, templates and statistical model.
At the center there are blogs in the open and those followed.
Opening a new post is a full-page white paper on which to write the articles.
In template can be modified choose one of the preconfigured

 models and you can use the new editor to create and design
 custom templates . The colors of the new interface have been
 lightened even if they are, in my opinion, a little 'shot.
 Everything is white and clean, with buttons and links
 orange may annoy those who see little good.
The graphic incorporates the dynamic views of the

 blogs blogspot released a few months ago. There are a
 lot of blanks and buttons too small for me, with unnecessary
 information that could be hidden.
 The problem principal is that the new interface is a bit 'slow
 to search for posts and comments.
Although there are alternative sites for creating blogs , Blogger is

 the most used online service (excluding blogs on Wordpress CMS ) 
Council to see the video celebration of Blogger, which
 summarizes in two minutes the impressive numbers of this
 service through which anyone can publish anything on
 the internet, articles, images, videos and blogs for free and without limits.

Best Program To Complete Anti-theft and Anti-lost Android





Owning a smartphone Android certainly means spending
 a figure but still fairly high for the purchase. It is not difficult,
 with a day at the beach, the phone at his best without even 
realizing it. Sure, you could opt to use an old phone at least
 until it is at the beach, but we are actually able to give up
 the Internet with a touch screen and all the other conveniences
 of modern phones?
If the answer to this question is no, we must necessarily find an alternative.
 Such as, for example, using a sophisticated anti-theft software that
 can guarantee at least a minimum level of security
 when using the phone in unsafe places.



Cerberus, a complete anti-theft phone Android

Software for alarm and Anti-theft Android if they are really
 so many. We have tested almost all of them ZioGeek we
 decided to report you and Cerberus , the solution probably 
the most complete, made ​​from Italian Luca Sagaria. We
 wish to clarify that we are not in any way affiliated with
 the developer and we are not sponsoring the software
. The review is absolutely neutral.
By downloading from Cerberus' Android Market will provide
 a free trial of the full functionality for 7 days. If you decide
 to keep the application, we can purchase a license for life
 at only € 2.99, valid for up to 5 phones. We are used
 to indicate free software, but given the quality of the
 application and the low price of the license, we believe
 that many readers will be willing to spend this minute
 (which well compensates the risk of theft of expensive cell phone).
That said, here are the features of this application:
  • Track your phone using the GPS Latitude and Google
  • Taking photographs (even with the front camera if present)
  • Record audio
  • Ask for full details of SIM card, such as messages and calls made
  • Completely erase the contents of your phone
  • Locking your phone and / or display a message
  • Activate a strong alarm siren
  • Send data in the event of unauthorized SIM insertion
  •  to 3 numbers of confidence
  • Complete monitoring of the phone from the site 
  • www.cerberusapp.com
  • Running the above commands via SMS from
  •  another phone or from the web
It is therefore very complete application, in a single
 product that offers all the features of concurrent 
applications (including also purchased LMaxy Anti-theft,
 Where's My Droid, Prey Anti-Theft, WaveSecure).

39 captive social icon set





The free icons of today are different resolutions and of
 all kinds. You can find icons minimalistic, shaped like a
cartoon, drawn by hand, shaped like a postage stamp,
 Adobe-style and so on and so forth. All you have to do
 is click on the thumbnails to download the sets and see
 how they use their pages to download. Have fun!

Reduce the size (KB - MB) of a photo without losing quality





Reduce the size of a photo is an operation that may come
 in handy on several occasions, for example to save space
 on your hard disk or other devices such as iPod, iPhone, etc.
 without having to delete the images but in terms of relieving MB ,
 but also GB KB.
But the biggest fear and the price you must pay for
 decreasing the size of a photo is the normal loss of graphic quality.
This is true but not if you use the excellent free program Caesium .
 Caesium In fact, it is possible to reduce to a minimum size
 of an image without losing visual quality , or if the picture
such as from 2 MB to 300 MB is passed, the quality will remain
 virtually the same. Let's see how it works.
Easy to use, once installed and started Caesium be presented
 with this interface (as shown):
1. Click the button highlighted by the pink box to indicate the 
picture to be compressed. Or click the button next to indicate 
an entire folder of images to be compressed.
2. Click the button highlighted by the yellow box to indicate the 
folder in which to save the photo once compressed. Do not use 
the same folder where the original image, because otherwise
 there will be replaced with the compressed (rather than
 specifically to create a new folder where to put the tablets photos).
3. Move the slider highlighted by the green box to decrease
 the size of the image.
4. Confirm and apply the new size by clicking the Set 
highlighted by the blue box .
In the column New Dimension highlighted by the 
black box you can see the size of which will now have the image.
Clicking the button Preview , the lower right side you'll also
 see a preview photo of how the image appears to be the
 new size graphically and evaluate if it can fit.
5. Click the button highlighted by the orange box to indicate
 which format to save the compressed picture,
 including JPG, BMP and PNG.
6. Start by clicking the button marked compression
 from the red box .
Immediately after the destination folder indicated 
above in step 2 , the compressed image will be saved,
 or with the small size but still retained a good quality graphics.

PageRank is almost useless


 (and this time it says Google)






You'll notice that on this blog no longer speak of
 PageRank and updates from a piece of finger.
 And Google has slowed down considerably its
 periodic update (the last was at the end of June ,
 more than five months after the previous one).
Today I come to talk about it because Susan Moskwa,
the Google Webmaster Central Blog , a few days ago
 made ​​the point about PageRank and its "evolution" to
other metrics, such as webmasters should focus on
 certainly more than the length of the green bar.
 Here are the most significant part of the article:
Why PageRank?
Udi Manber wrote in 2008 on the Official Google Blog:
"The most famous part of our ranking algorithms
 is PageRank, an algorithm developed by Larry
 Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google.
 PageRank is still used today, but only as part of a larger system " .
The PageRank that Google has made sure to be
 a split at the beginning, from the other search engines.
Over the past 10 years, however, the number of
 changes to the algorithm increased considerably
 (up to 9 per week on average), and the PageRank
- the beginning and end of all ranking algorithms.
 is not the most - indeed, has never bee
Google has always shown the importance as
one of the main ingredients for position in the
 SERPs. So why do not we talk a lot of relevance
and PageRank? I believe that the PageRank can be
 measured with a number, not the relevance.
 Both use complicated factors - the context,
purpose, user, popularity, reliability - but the
PageRank is a numeric indicator for the relevance not.
 I believe that the "brevity" of PageRank made ​​it so
 popular among webmasters over the years,
 but only because it is easy to plot something
 does not mean that is exactly what happens
to your website.
What we really want?
I believe that no one points to the high PageRank
 as a final goal. PageRank is only what we really want:
 to make more money, attract more readers,
 generate more leads, make more newsletter subscriptions.
 Look at PageRank as a metric of success
 only makes sense when the higher and better my site is located,
they want them to do on my pages. Also remember 
that Google updates PageRank (one shown in the Toolbar)
 a few times a year, and that can lower the PageRank 
displayed for a few sites that we believe may be
 involved in actions not exactly clean: so the PageRank 
displayed in public is different from what Google uses to rate.
Why bother with a number that is far away from
 your real goals, when in fact there are things you can measure,
 and that are related to what you really want to achieve
? Finding the metrics directly related to your business goals will allow you to work on them and then reach your goal.
 receives more traffic, and most people do wha
If you do not look at the PageRank, what should I monitor?
Consider metrics related to the revenue of your website
 or your business, rather than focusing on those related
to the ranking. Consider metrics that are updated daily
 or weekly, rather than numbers
 (such as the PageRank displayed on the finger)
that change only a few times a year.
There are 3 important parameters, which can
track using services like Google Analytics or Webmaster Tools:
1. Conversion rate (conversion rate)
A conversion occurs when a visitor what they
want me to do on your website: can be a purchase,
 subscribing to a mailing list or download an ebook.
 The conversion rate is the percentage of visitors to
 your website that perform a conversion. This is a
 perfect example of a parameter that, unlike PageRank,
 is directly related to your business goals.
When users perform a conversion to make
 something measurable, and you draw a benefit,
while the PageRank can not be measured accurately
and can go up and down without having any effect on your business.
2. Bounce ()
A bounce is when someone comes to your website
 and goes away without visiting any other pages
 (other than the one on which it landed).
The bounce rate measures the percentage of these "bounces".
 A high bounce rate could indicate that users
 do not find your site interesting, because they arrive,
 take a look and they go away immediately.
Studying the bounce rate on the pages of your site
 can help identify the content that performs badly
 and the areas of the site to which to hand if you think about,
 is not important to the proper positioning of your site if the
 majority of users "bounces off "as soon as you visit ...
[In this regard, there are those who relates the
 bounce rate with Google Panda ]
3. Click-through rate (CTR)
Within the organic results of search, the CTR is how
 often users are clicking on your site than all the times
 your site is displayed in the SERPs. A low CTR means
 that no matter how well your site is located, users
 are clicking over there. This may mean that your site
 does not meet their needs, or some other site that
 looks better. One way to increase your CTR is look
 at the title and the snippet in the SERPs that appear:
 they are attractive? accurately represent the contents
of the URL? offer a reason to click on it?Again, remember
that no matter how well your site is positioned if the users clicks on it.
In conclusion
With this post Google shifts the attention from a number, one
 vote, typically something that will satisfy the ego toward
 metrics related to performance, efficiency, economic return.
It seems to me that the intention is to evolve those
 many users still stuck to the logics of the type "I have a 
PageRank 5 and do a million visitors
 per month, so I'm good" to something like "I do 
not care PageRank nothing, because
 even if I only 1,000 visitors a month and then
 do 100 conversions a lot of money " to educate
 and evangelize, therefore, shifting the focus from
the length of the green bar to the metrics related to business.
If you have not already done so, it is time to close
the toolbar and start to open Google 
Analytics

 with Linux! Here's how





LightScribe is an optical recording technology that uses

 that include this feature.
Normally the houses distributors with integrated
 LightScribe DVD also add software for creating
 and printing labels, the problem is that these
software are available for Windows and in
 rare cases for Mac and Linux as usual nothing.
But fortunately there is the official site LightScribe
 software for Linux called LightScribeSimple Labeler
 by which we can make very easily with Linux Lightscibe
 cover for our CD / DVD.

Use the keyboard instead 


of a mouse if you do not work anymore





The captain always unexpected when you least expected
 and always in the most inopportune moments. In the
 field of computers are quite popular with the unexpected
 and specifically today to see how we behave and how
 to solve when the mouse stops working suddenly .
In this case would normally be impossible or almost completely
 limited the ability to use Windows without a mouse .
But there is a solution to this problem. In fact Microsoft itself
 had already foreseen this possibility, namely that the mouse
 stopped working all of a sudden, in advance enabling aspecia
l key combination that
when pressed allows you to use the numeric keypad on the 
keyboard instead of the mouse .
To activate this useful feature you have to press the combination
of the three keys ShiftAltNumLock
 (or NumLock depending on the keyboards).
Soon after, you can use the mouse with the
 numeric keypad which will assume the following
 functions:
1 to 9 keys to move the mouse cursor in any direction.
5 button or + button to click and open the context menu
 of right mouse button.
This feature can be activated from the Control Panel> Accessibility tab,
 and Mouse is also possible to adjust at will the settings of the numeric
 keypad with mouse function, or customize the speed and
acceleration of the cursor.
Alternatively the default function of Windows, to use the 
PC keyboard instead of the mouse is the small but useful
 program for free from the name Mouse Emulator which
 incidentally does not even require installation, but it only started and used.
Once running, the mouse icon appears next to the Windows
 Emulator (example in figure below):
means that the software is running, or that
 you can now control the mouse with the
 numeric keypad that now have the following functions :
Button 1 - Left mouse button
Button 2 - Right button
Key 3 - Button Central
Buttons 4, 5, 6, 8 - Movement of the mouse down, up, left and right
Key 7 - Wheel (Scroll)
Key 9 - Mouse wheel down
Key / - An alternative to the left mouse button (useful for RSI users)
* Keyboard - An alternative to the right mouse button (useful for RSI users)
Keyboard - - Alternative to the middle mouse button (useful for RSI users)
Compatible with Windows NT, 95, 98 and up
