Rumah tapi belum dicat, terkesan belum selesai. Banyak orang yang sedang membangun, menunda dulu pekerjaan satu ini hanya karena faktor harga cat yang mahal. Belum lagi biaya upah pekerjaan pengecatannya. Dana yang harus dikeluarkan untuk hal ini terasa memberatkan.
Memang tidak dipungkiri dari hari kehari harga cat dipasaran semakin naik saja. Tidak ada istilahnya harga tersebut turun. Banyak trik yang dilakukan para produsen cat agar cat yang mereka produksi tidak terkesan mahal. Ada yang memasukkan gelas di dalam kaleng cat dengan alasan ini merupakan bonus. Namun dibalik itu berat cat tersebut sudah terkurangi dengan berat gelas yang dimasukkan ke dalam kaleng cat tersebut. Ada juga dengan memasukkan "bonus" uang dalam kantong plastik ke dalam kaleng cat. Ada-ada saja trik para produsen cat agar cat yang mereka jual terkesan tidak mahal dan membuat orang tertarik membelinya.
Saat ini berbagai macam merek cat tembok banyak tesedia di pasaran. Mulai dari rentang harga yang murah sampai harga mahal, semuanya ada. Bagi yang punya dana lebih, harga cat yang mahal sampai dengan satu juta rupiah per galon (25 kg) tersedia. Sedangkan bagi yang punya dana pas-pasan, harga di bawah seratus ribu rupiah per galon pun juga ada. Tinggal kita memilih mau harga yang mana. Tentu perbedaan harga ini tidak terlepas dari masalah kualitas. Kenapa? karena kualitas tentu akan berbanding lurus dengan harganya. Bagaimanapun, kualitas cat berharga murah tidak lah sama dengan cat berharga mahal. Ini ditinjau dari berbagai hal, terutama masalah ketahanan cat terhadap cuaca yang mempengaruhi umur dari cat itu sendiri.
Setiap perbedaan tingkatan harga cat, masing-masing memiliki tingkat resiko yang berbeda pula. Cat berharga murah tidak akan jauh dari masalah mudah pudar, cepat luntur, mudah terkelupas, bertekstur lembab dan berjamur. Bila ada dua rumah yang dicat dengan merek cat yang memiliki harga yang jauh berbeda, dimana rumah A dicat dengan cat berharga mahal dan rumah B dengan cat berharga murah, maka perbedaannya mulai terlihat setelah 3 bulan berjalan. Warna cat yang ada di rumah B akan mulai samar-samar pudar. Setelah enam bulan, pada bagian bawah dinding bila diraba akan terasa sedikit lembab. Begitu juga bila hujan datang. Tampias air hujan akan membuktikannya. Rumah B yang dicat dengan cat berharga murah akan mulai belang-belang terkikis air hujan. Ini semua ujung-ujungnya akan berakhir dengan ketidakpuasan. Si pemilik rumah B mau tidak mau setelah satu tahun akan mengecat ulang rumahnya kembali. Bila rumah A baru dicat kembali setelah lima tahun alias sekali dalam lima tahun, maka rumah B sekali setahun. Bila hal ini dihitung secara seksama untung ruginya, tentu pada akhirnya rumah A lah yang beruntung.
Namun saat ini pemilik rumah B jangan bersedih dulu, karena pembicaraan belum selesai. Anda pernah dengar "zamitex"? Nah, ini yang namanya sejenis zat additif cat yang bisa membantu Anda yang hanya mampu membeli cat berharga murah agar kualitas cat murah yang Anda beli bisa setara dengan cat berharga mahal. Kok bisa? "Katanya" bila Zamitex dicampur dengan cat berharga murah, akan membuat kualitas cat murah tersebut tidak murahan lagi.
Dari informasi orang-orang yang telah menggunakannnya, setelah additif Zamirex dicampur dengan cat murah sesuai petunjuk pemakaian, hasilnya sungguh mengejutkan. Cat yang menempel di dinding baik sewaktu basah maupun setelah kering, warnanya tetap sama alias tidak ada perbedaan. Setelah sekian lama, cat juga tidak cepat luntur dan bisa dinding dapat dicuci dengan air bila terkena kotoran. Dan yang "hebatnya" lagi, cat murah bercampur zamitex ini tahan lembab dan anti jamur.
Sekarang timbul pertanyaan, kenapa? Ternyata zat Zamitex memiliki sifat kohesif dan adhesif yang membuat cat berharga murah tadi jadi tidak murahan lagi. Lapisan Zamitex bisa melindungi lapisan cat dari pengaruh luar dan menimbulkan kesan mengkilap. Dan campuran cat ini ternyata bisa juga untuk melapisi seluruh permukaan seperti tembok, logam, asbes, genteng, kayu, kaca, kain dan juga berfungsi sebagai waterproofing (anti bocor / rembes) pada bangunan.
Sekarang kesimpulannya kembali kepada Anda. Yang jelas zat additif Zamitex bagaimanapun bukanlah serba hebat dan dapat mengatasi segalanya. Cat yang berharga tinggi yang ditunjang dengan kualitas yang tinggi pula bagaimanapun tentu lebih baik. Karena sifatnya campuran, Zamitex hanya sebatas meningkatkan mutu cat berharga murah menjadi lebih baik.
Bagaimana jadinya ya, bila zamitex dicampur dengan cat berharga mahal.......? ***

Got Spam? - Stop Spam
89% of e-mails received by insurance agents today are classified as spam. That means that only one out of every ten emails is a legitimate business communication! Over the course of a year, financial losses can really add up through the lost productivity of you and your employees. However, the greatest threat to computer networks today is from malicious programs such as trojans, zombies, and viruses, which hitch a ride within many spam. Once upon your network, these programs can potentially mine customer data from your systems sending their confidential data to unscrupulous parties looking to steal the identities of your customers!
1/2 the way there.
The traditional way to decrease the number of spam received by an insurance agency is by installing an application that contains a spam blocker. Often these applications are bundled within an antivirus program. These programs do help; however, they are not always the most effective solution for curbing the flow of spam into your organization. These programs require constant updates to keep up with the latest spam signatures and techniques. These updates are rarely kept up-to-date after the initial subscription period expires. Additionally, these programs must download the infected spam to your machine before it can classify it as malicious. This download allows the infected item into your organization unrestricted before the program is able to quarantine the item.
Stopping the Attack
To effectively block spam and other malicious email, organizations are employing a new generation of spam blocking tools. One of the more effective ways being used today is through the use of spam firewalls. Prior to your mail server, incoming mail routes through your spam firewall's gateway which analyzes your mail for spam and other malicious code. Items classified as spam are held for further review within a quarantine folder, thus keeping an infected item from ever entering your organization. Furthermore, the firewall's spam signatures are kept up-to-date upon a single device, no more worrying that all computers are running the latest definitions.
For Insurance Agencies with less than fifty email users, many online providers offer hosted spam firewall protection. For larger organizations, your own spam firewall will easily pay for itself through productivity improvements and decreased downtime.**

Yahoo Email Message Headers - How Do You Find Them?
Few people in the world enjoy receiving unwanted email. Whether it's annoying spam of any variety or something more sinister, sometimes it's only natural to want to know where those unknown emails are coming from. However, if you want to learn more about a strange email address, you might not know where to begin. One place to start is by looking into the email headers of the message in question. Email headers are computer code attached to emails that tell computers where the message is coming from and where it's going. Here's how to implement Yahoo mail to find and use email headers to research unknown emails.
Finding email headers with Yahoo mail is easy. If you're using the New Yahoo Mail, simply view the message you want to open, and look for the words "Compact Header." By clicking on the down facing arrow just to the right of these words, a menu will pop up allowing you to choose "Full Headers." The email headers you are looking will pop up in a new window. If you're using the Yahoo Mail Classic, you can still find email headers, but it requires a few more steps. Choose the "Options" link for the menu bar, and then choose "General Preferences." Find the paragraph entitled "Messages," then locate the "Show Headers" heading and choose "All." Now, go back to your inbox and view the message you're interested in learning about. The full email headers should now be visible.
Finding the email headers is only the first step. Now you have to find out what they mean. Email headers can be tough to decipher because they are meant to be read by computers, not people. If you're trying to figure out email headers, the first thing you should look for is the phrase "Received: from." This phrase occurs every time the message is sent from one computer to another. The first time the phrase was written is actually the last one visible in the headers. Find the "Received: from" closest to the bottom of the headers, and look closely at that line. Next to "Received: from" there's usually a multi-digit number separated with periods. This is the IP address of the computer that originated the message. IP addresses are Internet identification codes that help computers find each other. You can use this IP address to learn more about the computer that sent the message, and possibly the person behind it. Of course Yahoo email headers aren't the only way to find out more about a mystery message. If you need to find out who owns a Yahoo email address, you can use a reverse email search. Reverse email searches are services that provide information about unknown email addresses quickly and easily. No matter which method you choose, now you should have a better idea what resources are available to you on the Internet.**
