How to Delete Your all Data from the Internet


Think this through very carefully before proceeding. Much of what is suggested below cannot be undone. This means that you will lose information, forfeit any marketable presence that you've developed online, and in some cases, you'll even lose the opportunity to restart your account using the same name or even the same email address. These are drastic measures and should be treated as such.
Consider what is driving your wish to delete yourself completely. Is it a cyberstalker? Is it a single bad experience? Or are you just fed up with its pervasiveness in your life? Be sure you fully understand the issue before diving in.
Are there other ways around the problem, such as changing your online name or using a different email account from your normal one? For example, if your current email address has some unsavory online associations, can you create a separate one that you use purely for professional transactions like sending resumes, creating business profiles, etc.?
Realize that you might not even remember all the sites you've joined, created, participated in, etc.

Delete accounts. 


As already noted, it's possible that you've joined up to more sites than you'll ever remember. The more well-known the site, however, the better it is to remove yourself from it when trying to disappear from the internet. This won't necessarily resolve "deep web" memory of you but it's a good start. The following list is provided to help make it easier for you to know how to start ridding yourself of the principal sites:
Delete yourself from Facebook
Delete yourself from Twitter
Delete yourself from YouTube
Delete yourself from LinkedIn
Delete yourself from Flickr
Delete yourself from StumbleUpon
Delete yourself from MySpace
Delete yourself from PayPal
Delete yourself from eBay and any other online auction sites
Delete yourself from Craigslist and any other local advertising groups.
Delete yourself from your Alma Maters (school, college, and university). Only do this if you’re no longer enrolled.
Delete yourself from game sites. Remove all your information from all game sites. Yes, that includes all the virtual items you've won and hoarded all those years. Give it away to people you know want the stuff, if the site permits it.
Close associated accounts. Associated sites, such as Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, etc., are third-party applications that helped you to use your social networking accounts. Don’t forget about these.

Weasel your way out of undeletable accounts. 


Some sites don’t allow full deletion, forcing you to merely “deactivate” (while your information stays in the system) or abandon your account. If there is a real reason for removal (such as witness protection), contact the site's owner or engineers; at the very least, you should be able to get a name change to cover your real identity. However, if you can’t get anyone to intervene on your behalf, there’s another way of dissociating:

[[Image:Delete Yourself from the Internet Step 3 Version 2.jpg|center|550px]
Remove every last scrap of information about yourself from the account. If leaving certain fields blank isn’t an option (or you still suspect that your info is being saved somewhere), overwrite it with clearly fake (Dingus Oppenheimer IV) or hopelessly general (John Smith) info. (There’s no need to associate some other poor sucker with your abandoned page.) Note that if you try to provide a different email address, the site will email it to confirm, meaning nonexistent addresses are out of the question. This brings us to our next step.
Create a new email account with a free email provider. The more unlikely the username, the better. (Ex.: jr7_9!4dkl@whatever.com. More on this in a minute.) Be sure to provide fake info here as well. Don’t close this page; if your address is as weird as it should be, you might not be able to find it again.
Associate the undeletable account with this new email address. Confirm the new email address when prompted. Once it goes through, make sure your real email address no longer appears anywhere in this account.
Cancel your new email address. Your undeletable account is now associated with an address that no longer exists. There’s always a chance that one day, someone else who has since chosen the exact username jr7_9!4dkl@whatever.com will also try to create an account with the site you’ve just dissociated from and end up very, very confused, but it probably shouldn’t keep you up nights.

Close your personal sites. 


If you have created sites on the internet, you will need to remove them completely. Some of the sites you might have include:
Blogs. If you had a popular blog, keep in mind that snippets of it are probably already scattered throughout the internet. There’s nothing you can do about this.
Blogs within sites. Many sites offer blogs as part of joining; don't forget these if you have started any.
Groups like Ning, Gro.ups, Yahoo Groups, etc. Your ability to shut these down might be dependent on the participation of others.
Forum posts. This is likely to be next-to-impossible for many sites, but do your best.
Articles that you have added to article mill sites. Your ability to remove these will be dependent on the terms and conditions of those sites.

Check with your phone company to make sure you're not listed online. 


If you are, ask them to remove your details completely. Ditto for any other customer databases that might cause your name and details to be online.

Cancel all mailing lists. 


This should be fairly straightforward as usually the method for unsubscribing is in the body of each email, often with a direct link. Follow the individual instructions given. If you can't find such instructions, contact the site administrators directly.

Delete search engine returns that feature you. 


Run searches on variations of your name or online name(s) to find anything you may have forgotten about and remove it manually. Remember, search engines also cache old sites, pages, and information -- including mentions of you -- that have since changed or been deleted; since it’s not in a search engine’s best interest to provide outdated results, these will generally go away by themselves with time. In some instances, however, you will need to contact search engines directly for the trickier removals. Be aware that removing yourself from search engines can be fairly detailed work that sometimes involves paperwork in the real world (ex. faxes, etc., to confirm your real identity). Major search engines and people search engines that you will probably want to look through include:
Google (read how to ungoogle yourself)
Yahoo
Bing
White Pages
US Search
Intelius
Yahoo People Search
Acxiom
People Finder
Zaba Search


Cancel your email account.


 If you're going to this extreme, the method for deletion will depend on whether you're using a paid-for service or a free-roaming service on the web. Be sure to hold off on deleting your email account until the end; you’ll probably need it to do most of the other steps listed here.
If free (e.g., Gmail, Hotmail, etc.), cancel following the site's instructions.
If paid for, contact the relevant company for instructions. Even web-based paid mail should have live people to contact.
Some free email accounts self-delete with lack of use.
Always check that you're not throwing away any vital information that you want to keep before you delete your account. Transfer all materials you need to a memory stick or other storage facility.


Clean up your computer.

Remove all internet history, cookies, etc.
Remove the internet program if you're really adamant.
Remove your computer if you're going "cold technology".


Shrug off what you can't remove.


 There may be some things that you can't do anything about. In that case, it is probably best to just accept that reality as you move on. If instances of your online come back to haunt you, you could always try denying that it's you -- especially if you have a common name! Be forewarned that the following instances of your online presence will be very hard to erase:
Mentions of you in news items, blog posts, audio files, etc.
Interviews you’ve given to newspapers, radio stations, etc.
Comments you have left here, there, and everywhere.
Photos of you in other people’s online albums.
Photos you’ve taken that have ended up on other people’s websites and blogs.
Government-sourced information that is considered appropriate to keep publicly available (except where a process is in place to remove such information).


How to Lose Weight Fast


Tired of carrying around those extra pounds? The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to create a low-calorie eating plan that you can stick to for a long time. If you just want to drop a few pounds fast, there are plenty of techniques and tips you can adopt to help you reach your short-term goals, too. Scroll down to Step 1 to learn more.

Method 1 of 5: Rapid Weight Loss Diets

Do a juice cleanse. 


This method is also known as the Hollywood diet.
[1]. There are many different kinds of juice cleanses out there. However, the main concept is to only consume juices made from raw fruits and vegetables. The cleanse will remove toxins from your system, helping you lose weight while also making you feel more alert and healthy.
[2]
Most juice cleanses last for one to three days, though some will go up to seven days at a time. You can either buy a cleansing package from a health store or company online, or you can buy your own juicer.
[3]
Be sure you incorporate plenty of vegetables into your juicing routine. Fruit juice contains a lot of sugar, and drinking a lot of it will cause you to gain weight instead of losing it.
Some of the most popular cleanse brands include Cooler Cleanse, BluePrint, and Life Juice

Consider the Master Cleanse.


 The master cleanse is a liquid-only diet that consists of a “lemonade” (lemon, cayenne pepper powder, maple syrup, and water), a salt-water drink, and herbal laxatives. The diet lasts for 16 days—three days of easing into the diet by only eating raw fruits and veggies, 10 days of the liquid only diet, and three more days easing back into solid foods.[5]
Be aware that this diet should only be done for very short-term weight loss and is supposed to function as a detoxifying cleanse rather than a strict weight-loss routine.

Try the water diet. 


This diet involves drinking a daily total of about 64 fluid ounces (8 cups) of cold water, at regular intervals throughout the day. Drink a glass of water before each meal to suppress your appetite. Doing this will help you get into the habit of limiting the portions of food you consume during each meal. By drinking water, you will feel full before a meal, thus helping you consume less calories.
Keep in mind that this is not a water only diet. Water-only diets can actually be quite dangerous if done for too long a period of time. Your body needs nutrients to stay healthy and maintain a strong metabolism. If you drink only water for more than a couple of days, when you start eating again you run the risk of gaining even more weight because your metabolism will have slowed tremendously.[6]

Try the fasting diet. 


The idea behind this diet is that our bodies were built to go through both times of feasting and times of famine--as such, we should occasionally recreate the ‘famine’ part. This diet requires that for two days each week, you should only eat 500 (if you’re a woman) or 600 (if you’re a man) calories. On those fasting days, dieters should stick to eating only vegetables, seeds, legumes, and some fruit.[7]
This diet requires that you continue your exercise regimen on fasting days as well as on regular days.
Ease into it by fasting for 1/2 day and seeing how you feel before you commit to longer-term fasting.

Consider the HCG diet.


This is a highly controversial diet that combines injections or supplements of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) with a severely restricted calorie intake.The calorie restriction alone (only 500 to 800 calories per day) is enough to promote weight loss in most people; it is significantly under the recommended daily calorie allowance, even for people attempting to lose weight. People give themselves doses of HCG via injections or in drop form.[8]
Many studies have been done on the value of HCG, with the results being shaky at best. While some people swear that they lost 25 pounds during the HCG diet, many scientists say there is absolutely no value in injecting yourself with HCG and that it can in fact be dangerous to do so.[9]


How to Write a Cover Letter


Cover letters. As much as we despise them, they are the chance to make a case, to cover everything we can’t express in our resumes – which is a lot – and come across as real people to potential employers. Don’t throw together a cover letter in the hope that nobody will actually read it. To take advantage of its full potential, follow these steps. Below that, you’ll find advice on formatting, reviewing, and researching the letter and also links to three free sample letters which you can copy and adapt to your needs.

Method 1 of 4: Write an Email Cover Letter


Include a salutation

There are a number of different kinds to choose from, and the greeting you choose will depend on how much information you have about the company.
If you know the name of the hiring manager, your salutation should be something like "Dear [insert name]" followed by either a comma or a colon. Make sure to address the manager formally using their proper title (Mr., Ms., Dr., etc.).
If you don't know the name of the hiring manager, consider addressing your letter "Dear Hiring Manager," "Dear Recruiting Team," or "Dear [insert company name] Team."
As a last resort, address the letter "To whom it may concern," though we recommend avoiding this salutation, as it could come across as a template letter.

Write the first paragraph of your letter. 

This is where you will mention the job for which you're applying and how you found the job listing. It only needs to be 1 to 2 sentences in length.

Write the body paragraphs of your letter

Most cover letters will only have 1 or 2 body paragraphs. You don't want to overwhelm the hiring manager or use up a great deal of his or her time. Try to answer the following questions in your body paragraphs:
Why am I a qualified candidate for this position?
What work experience do I have that fits the job requirements in the company's listing?
Why do I want to work for this company specifically?

Write the final paragraph of your letter.

This will be where you wrap up and discuss how you will proceed with the application. Consider including the following:
Reiterate in one sentence why you feel you're a perfect fit for the position.
Discuss what you'll do next. If you plan on following up with the hiring manager in a week or two, include a specific date. Otherwise, just say that you look forward to interviewing for the position and discussing your qualifications further.
Provide your contact information. Include your email address and your phone number so the hiring manager can get in touch with you.
Mention that your resume or references are attached (if applicable).
Thank the person for their time.
