Chapter 1. Overview
What is YQL?
The YQL Web Service enables applications to query, filter, and combine data from different sources across the Internet. YQL statements have a SQL-like syntax, familiar to any developer with database experience. The following YQL statement, for example, retrieves a list of cat photos from Flickr:

SELECT * FROM flickr.photos.search WHERE text=”cat”

To access the YQL Web Service, a Web application can call HTTP GET, passing the YQL statement as a URL parameter, for example:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=SELECT * FROM flickr.photos.search WHERE text=”Cat”

When it processes a query, the YQL Web Service accesses a datasource on the Internet, transforms the data, and returns the results in either XML or JSON format. YQL can access several types of datasources, including Yahoo! Web Services, other Web services, and Web content in formats such as HTML, XML,
RSS, and Atom.

This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the desktop computer for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Disassembly Requirements

To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:

• Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Philips screwdriver
• Hex screwdriver
• Plastic flat-blade screwdriver
• Plastic tweezers

NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, group the screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components.

Pre-disassembly Procedure

Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, perform the steps listed below:

1. Turn off the system and all the peripherals connected to it.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlets.
3. Unplug the power cord from the system.
4. Unplug all peripheral cables from the system.

Use this guide to plan a safe and enjoyable trip into Rocky Mountain National Park’s backcountry/wilderness permit, use the trails, set up camp, hike in a crosscountry area, and care for the backcountry/wilderness. There is a range of opportunities for camping in the backcountry/wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park: designated sites (individual and group), stock sites, crosscountry areas, bivouac areas (for technical climbers only) and winter areas. It is your responsibility to know and follow all backcountry rules and regulations.

Planning your trip

The first step in planning your trip is to obtain a Rocky Mountain National Park topographical map to choose your destination and route. Use the guide map, or the Trails Illustrated Topographic Map, to select
backcountry/wilderness campsites.

As you plan your trip, take into consideration the physical condition of the least experienced member of your party, and the distance and elevation gain from the trailhead to your destination.

Deciding how much insurance to buy

You should decide how much life insurance you need. You need to look carefully at your individual circumstances. The real value of life insurance is to protect your loved ones after your death. Before you buy, ask yourself:

• What costs and hardships will my family have to deal with after I am gone?
• How will the loss of my salary affect my family?

These questions require careful thought and perhaps a candid talk with your beneficiaries.

Insurance shopping tips

First, set the goals you want. Then shop around. The cost of insurance varies from company to company—as do their services, standards, and policies.

Research the policy carefully to make sure it meets your needs. Once you decide to buy life insurance, don’t delay! Make the purchase. Your beneficiaries will not benefit unless you buy a policy. Also, if you wait, you could develop a health problem, which could cause the rates to go up, or the company could reject your application.

What to Pack in Your Travelers Health Kit

Most people returning to their home country to visit should pack a personal first-aid kit. What you include depends on how long you’re going and whether you’ll have access to medical care and supplies. Here’s a general list of items to include:

• Insect repellent containing DEET
• Insecticide-treated bed nets for each traveler (if you’re staying in a malaria-risk area with no screens or windows)
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• Blanket
• Flashlight
• Hot/cold pack
• Antibacterial waterless hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) like Purell®
• Basic first aid items (e.g., band-aids, cotton, gauze pads, bandages, antiseptic ointment, thermometer, hypoallergenic tape, tweezers, scissors, latex gloves, eye patch)
• Moleskin for blisters

Food and Water Safety

It’s important to watch what you eat and drink in other countries. Even though it may be difficult to do when visiting family or friends, it can help prevent travelers’ diarrhea and more serious conditions such as hepatitis A and typhoid fever.
