Planning a camping adventure for first timers can be very frustrating at first. You maybe unsure as to what you should bring along with you and if you have the rights tools. Although a camping vacation can be fun and exciting, it can sometimes be stressful to plan. But don't worry, like they say the first time is always the hardest. And again don't worry because it is not as hard as you think. When it comes to camping you will have to bring multiple items with you because you will be in the wilderness and convenience will be provided for you rather you must bring it with you. It is your first time so what you need to know is how to purchase the right tools and how to avoid fraud while buying. These are your fraud warnings and safety tips: Meeting the buyer- whether you're going to meet up or the buyer would go to your place make sure that you have someone with you. Never go alone or never allow him inside your house alone. Meeting the seller- same goes in meeting the seller. It is best if you meet them at their home addresses where the item for sale is placed. At least no matter what happens you know where the seller is situated. Accepting and paying money- if the item is worth only a few bucks then it is easier and more convenient to pay in cash but if it involves larger amount of money it is safer to carry a check rather than cash. Purchasing online- Only buy from a legitimate site, research information about the site first and read reviews about it. Also you can ask friends who bought items online and go for the same site. If the advertiser wants you to send cash up front you shouldn't do it. Remember not to sent cash or cheques through the post, or place money directly into a seller's bank account, in advance of receiving goods. Ask for the warranty or receipt of the product- once you bought an item from a private seller you will have no legal comeback if it turns out to be faulty so better check it thoroughly before handling the mo

It is nice to take pictures but there are moments that pictures cannot tell but videos can. Videos can make someone feel like they were there also. While photograph can last forever, you can go back to those moments watching and re-watching those precious moments. "While pictures can be flat, video brings life to your experiences," says Laurel House, who videoblogs about travel, fitness, and more at QuickieChick "With video, you can share your adventures - and relive them again when you come home," he added. You do not need fancy equipments to capture the moments on video, you phone will do or there are quality and affordable camcorders available in the market. And worried about video editing, you do not have to do it or there is Windows Live Movie Maker that is so much easy to learn. Therefore there are no excuses! Now let us learn how to get you going. Video recoding isn't really hard; here are the ways to do so. Get personal. Try adding narrations, wouldn't it be boring if your video is a bunch of sequence photos like. Plus, the people who are going to watch your videos will get as much excitement as you were during your travel. They will understand what the shots are and what the experience meant to you. And remember to sound natural, scripted is boring! If you want to be in the video, do not appear stiff and cold, be natural, act natural. Smile and laugh but never fake it! Entertain and tell a story, who would want to watch a video that has no sequence and with a singles shot. Capture every detail and reactions of the people so that when you go back you will feel the same happiness. I did not say join a competition for your video but it could have at least a beginning, middle, and end. Keep your videos short, because no matter how interesting your video looks like audience will become antsy just stay snappy and stick to a single subject. Focus on moments and experiences that are actually fun and fun to watch, skip the non sense,

A former nanotechnology scientist of Sandia National Laboratories pleaded not guilty to federal charges of selling intellectual property and research to institutes in China. Jianyu Huang was arraigned last week on 1 count of false statements and 5 counts of federal program fraud as he was accused of sharing information from his post in the Sandia lab's Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies since 2009. However, the charge was only for theft of federal property and was not for stolen classified information. He reportedly sold research on nanotech that belongs to the US to government-run Chinese schools like Harbin Institute of Technology and Peking University, claiming them as his own. The indictment accuses Huang of selling USD 25,000 worth of "materials, equipment, time and work product of the company staff along with intangible property" between 2009 and 2012, on 5 different instances.
