A CMOS battery--short for complementary metal oxide semiconductor--is necessary to retain your computer's hardware settings. Symptoms of a dying CMOS battery include system warnings, lost time settings, and sometimes even unexpected shutdowns. Once you've recognized the symptoms, you can check the battery itself.
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a citizen-based association that operates independently of government, usually to deliver resources or serve some social or political purpose.
The term, non-governmental organization or NGO, came into currency in 1945 because of the need for the UN to differentiate in its Charter between participation rights for intergovernmental specialized agencies and those for international private organizations.
