4. Design And Prepare Your Invoices Online
Updated 6. December 2012 - 1:42 by rob.schifreen
<http://www.techsupportalert.com/users/robschifreen>
If you don't have an accounting software package installed on your PC,
sending an invoice to someone usually involves slaving over Word or Excel to
come up with something that looks vaguely acceptable.
If you'd rather make your life easy, check out Invoice Berry at
www.invoiceberry.com. Once you've signed up, you can create an invoice to
any client quickly and easily, just by filling in the online form. Sales
tax is calculated automatically if required.
When you're done, you can download the finished invoice as a PDF file to
print or email.
You can even customize your invoices by uploading your logo to the site.
If you only need to invoice 3 different clients, Invoice Berry is totally
free. You can delete clients that you no longer need to invoice, of course,
but you'll lose the history and reporting functionality that accompanies
them.
5. Explore A Virtual Human Body With Stunning Graphics

In the old days, learning about the components of the human body meant
poring over a copy of Grey's Anatomy. Or, if you were studying medicine,
you could take a scalpel to a real cadavre of course.
Now, thanks to a fabulous web site at www.biodigitalhuman.com, you can learn
about the makings of the human body without having to resort to boring
textbooks or a lab.
With nothing more than a web browser and a decent internet connection you
can browse the virtual skeleton. You can choose between male and female,
zoom and rotate the skeleton, and turn on/off the display of specific bodily
systems such as reproductive, cardiovascular and so on. You can also view
the location and symptoms of hundreds of common diseases.
Whether you're a wannabe surgeon or merely an interested bystander, this
site really is something special. A truly excellent educational resource.
6. The Ocean Portal at Smithsonian Museum (Website of the Week)
Updated 2. December 2012 - 2:00 by rhiannon
<http://www.techsupportalert.com/users/rhiannon>
The Ocean Portal is part of the Smithsonian Museum. You'll find everything
ocean here, from unusual organisms to ocean inspired art. Best of all, you
don't need to live near an ocean to enjoy it.
One of the things I wanted to be when I was growing up was Jacques Cousteau.
I know Jacques Cousteau isn't a thing but when you're a kid that's how you
think. :)
What I like about this site is that I don't have to go anywhere to learn
about ocean related things from all over the world. The other thing I like
about this site is that the content is interesting and appropriate for most
ages, not dry and boring as some science can be at times.
If you enjoy anything related to the ocean, this site is a great place to
visit.
