TFM value of Dove

While writing an article on toilet soap (Which soap do you use? Toilet soap or bathing bar?), I found that, many people are interested to know TFM value of Dove. This is the reason, I am writing this article.


Firstly, I want to clear that, Dove is not toilet soap, it is a bathing bar. To know distinction please outlook my post regarding toilet soap and bathing bar. In case of toilet soap, it is mandatory to mention TFM value on wrapper but it is not obligatory for bathing bar. So, manufacturer of Dove soap, Unilever ltd., does not provide the TFM content on the wrapper. As I mentioned earlier that Dove is bathing bar, it means that TFM value is not greater than 60%. Company says that it is beauty bathing bar and it is contains cleansing ingredients and 1/4th moisturising cream. Until Unilever declares the actual TFM content, it is not possible tell the TFM of Dove, but, surely, it does not contain 80% TFM contents (as many people says).

How to make your strong and easily recallable password?

Nowadays, people are becoming more and more social, not in living life but in digital life. When you register for some social networking web site or some emailing service or some web service, you need to decide your password to login and use that service. So password plays crucial role in digital life. One survey regarding password says that “password”, “12345” and “qwerty” are the most common passwords of new users. There is a fear of stealing your digital identity by hacking or cracking your password this is why you need a strong password. I am sharing some tips to make strong password and in the latter part of this article, I am sharing how to remember long and strong password easily.

  • The thumb rule for strong password is making it as long as you can, minimum 8 characters are recommended.
  • Go for combinations of letters (uPPer and LOweR case), numbers and special symbols.
  • Have a fun with characters and symbols e.g. bOMb@y2g0A (in simple bombay2goa…….I used @ instead of ‘a’ in Bombay and zero (0) instead of O in goa)
  • Avoid easily guessable words like your first name, last name, cell number, birth place, company name from your password.
  • Avoid dictionary words in the password because these are easily crackable.
  • Use local language word in the password. E.g. “Mera Bharat Mahan” can be “meRabhARatmaHAn”
  • Use initial letters of each word from some proverb or sentence.  e.g.  “Olive oil contains high amounts of monounsaturated fat” the password may be “oochaomf”
  • Do not use same password for all usernames.
  • Revive your password in 2-3 months.


Some examples of strong passwords,

physics experiment – phY$icsXperiment
unsolved mystery – Un$0lved_mYstry
traumatic time – traUmat!c#t!me
Wealth and power – We@LthNpOwR
Life is about being aware of things around – liAbaoTa

We have many usernames and many passwords, so how can we remember all passwords? Now, I am going to share the tricks to remember the password. First you have to make one strong password on the basis of above guidelines. Then append shortcut word of the web site at end or in middle of that strong password.

e.g. The password “hUw!fstd” which is derived from “Here yoU Will Find SomeThing Different”

The password of Gmail may be - hUw!fstd _gml
The password of Facebook may be - hUw!fstd _FbK
The password of Yahoo may be - hUw!fstd _Y00
The password of Flipkart may be - hUw!fstd _fLkP

MS Word bugs and solutions

After Microsoft’s XP, I am a big fan of MS Office 2007. I frequently use MS word and while working with MS Word, I found two bugs that I am sharing today. One bug is regarding sub-numbering system and other regarding changing case of the line.

Sub-numbering system:
Suppose I want to give sub-numbering (like 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) to the text. As per my best knowledge, MS Office does not directly provide such facility to number. The default numbering system is shown in the first figure.

 
Default Numbering System




I need to change the numbering format to give such numbering. If you notice the first figure then you can see 1 (highlighted) in the ‘Number format’ section. If you put 2 after 1 i.e. (1.2) then the numbering will be like 1.2, 2.2, 3.2, but you need a different series. For this, you need to change ‘Number format’ as shown in second figure. You need to put 2. before the highlighted 1, then your numbering series is like 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
There is another manual method to give such numbering. Just type 1.1 then type the text you want then press “Enter” 1.2 will be automatically appeared. But this will not work with 2.1, 2.2….
















If you need a series like 3.a, 3.b, 3.c then you needs to select a, b, c from ‘Number style’ as shown in the third figure. Then add 3. before the a in the ‘Number format’ as shown in the fourth figure.


Changing case of the line:
With the change case tool, you can change the case of text to other types.  When I was changing the case of line to ‘Sentence case”, then there is no effect on the line. I have to convert it to ‘UPPERCASE’ or ‘lowercase’ then to ‘Sentence case”.

Note: If you find better solution, please share with me.
