Pushing Your Online Betting Internet Site . | Moonlight Websites ...

The Issue To have the best mobile site for your small company, you want to consider your method. Seriously , because your internet site appears on a telephone, it doesn't make your website a productive tool for your business. This manuscript is about the steps you want to take so you finish up with a buyer friendly site, frequently referred to as a mobile-friendly internet site. In reality it is most probably you are losing sales on cell telephones, as 40 percent of clients say they are probably going to visit a rivals mobile site than cope with a P.C designed internet site on a portable gizmo. Net Hosted Site Builders Online internet site builders are hosted on the Web by a dedicated web site builder supplier company. One major advantage is that usually, you simply need to pay once so your one further cost is your monthly site hosting. They can be far easier to use as you do not have to download or install the software. Rather, after you pay your charge ( usually monthly ) you are given a user name and password with which you access your web space any time you need to tweak your site.

Frequently these programs have a no-cost trial period also. Technology has changed. All those wiz-bang flash knobs and whistles appeared avid when you developed your internet site 5 years back. Perhaps your internet site should be mobile? Web sites have changed noticeably over time. Keep up or get left behind. Now, that is not such a great idea.

Chiseled in Rock: My Almost-year of Writing Glacially by Colette ...

Today Chiseled in Rock is pleased to feature a guest post from a member of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers.

A native of Pittsburgh, Colette Auclair now lives in the Denver suburb of Westminster with her actor-husband and serious Portuguese water dog. She makes a living writing advertising copy. She also writes contemporary single-title romance novels that often include horses.?

Colette hopes to have her first novel, Thrown?a 2012 Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award finalist?published soon. Her second novel, Love in the Time of Colic, is now getting some love after being pushed aside as she finished Thrown.?

Besides writing, Colette loves riding her horse, eating (especially bacon), drinking wine, cooking, hiking with the aforementioned spouse and dog and not weeding her garden.

My Almost-year of Writing Glacially by Colette Auclair

If you?re a writer?and I assume you likely are?this post will make you feel better. Trust me.

I finished revising my very first manuscript a few days ago. I started writing this thing three years and one month ago. If my book were a human, it would be gearing up for preschool. If it were a mouse, it would be in assisted living.

This is a tale of the cheetah and the sloth.

When I started writing this in September of 2009, I finished a first draft to the tune of 130,000 words in four months. It was easy! It was fun! It was a traipse through Candyland. I went to my first Romance Writers of America (RWA) national conference with a baby book. I eagerly attended workshops and returned fortified with more tools to hone my novel.

I wrote a second draft. Armed with my word machete, I whacked my way through the sentence jungle until the thing was an acceptable 100,000 words. Again, still a joy to write. Still fun! I was a cheetah! What were these whiners talking about, who hated to write? Who struggled to put words on a page (screen)? Who thought writing was hard? By December of 2010, I was ready to send my baby into the world.

Enter Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers member Joanne Kennedy, who I met at that RWA conference. She read my manuscript and gave me six pages of notes. I set about revising anew, re-energized. I went to the 2010 RWA conference in New York and pitched. After all, I had been revising for ages. Oh, and my book won a regional romance novel contest! This writing stuff was great!

I sent my manuscript to a toddler-sized handful of agents. The agent who repped one of my favorite authors asked for revisions. I was crestfallen, until someone pointed out that she liked my work enough to request revisions! I was then delighted. On cloud nine. A giddy cheetah once more.

Well? Um? The cheetah morphed into a tree sloth. I was stumped by one of the revision requests, even though I agreed with it. The holidays came?an automatic speed bump/excuse. The winter of 2012 wore on, and I wasn?t writing. Not at all. It went on for months. My book and I were no longer on speaking terms. We had retreated to our corners to reassess our relationship. My novel waited, completely passive. Would I be able to fix it? Would my characters hate me? What had happened to my boundless enthusiasm? Here I brought this novel into the world, and now I had abandoned it.

After months of telling kind friends that I was ?still revising? (which was, technically, a lie?I should have said, ?I?m still banging my head against the wall and feeling guilty about not writing, unless you count cutting a word here and there when by some miracle I manage to open the file?), inspiration struck. A friend had an idea for how to solve the issue that had stumped me. I wrote the scene and?poke!?the cheetah stirred. Stretched. Scanned the savannah and spotted a tasty gazelle.

And took off.

Whoosh! I was writing again! And in the nick of time, because in July I attended the 2012 RWA conference, this time as a finalist in the Golden Heart contest. Agents and editors were interested, so the sloth had to become a cheetah. Pardon another animal reference, but I became a social mole, turned down all invitations, and wrote wrote wrote to get the manuscript ready for public consumption.

At the beginning of this post I said you?d feel better. Why? Because either you?ve had this happen to you and now feel better because another poor schlub has been through the dark forest too. Or you?ve never had it happen or you?ve overcome with more aplomb than I. Either way, don?t you feel better now? Oh, and you?re welcome! Here?s hoping we are all cheetahs more often than sloths.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for submitting this fun post, Colette. I was in the sloth phase all summer, but my cheetah side has put in an appearance just in time for NaNoWriMo.

For more information about Colette, visit her website/blog. She can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Posted by Pat Stoltey. Pictures of the cheetah (credit Malene Thyssen) and sloth were found on Wickimedia Commons, a site you might want to check out. I have Collette to thank for pointing the way to another great resource for bloggers.

The Reference Frame: Evangelista Torricelli: an anniversary

Evangelista Torricelli was born on October 15th, 1608 ? we could commemorate his birthday ten days ago ? and died of typhoid fever contracted a few days earlier in Florence exactly 365 years ago, on October 25th, 1647.

This early physics worker is mainly remembered for the discovery of the barometer and for his simple law in hydrodynamics.

He was born in the Papal States, was left fatherless as a kid, and was brought up by his uncle. When Galileo was convicted in June 1633, he openly declared himself a member of the "Copernican sect". During the last 3 months of Galileo's life, Torricelli was employed as the master's personal secretary (writer). But what we remember him for is the barometer. An experiment by some random people whom we no longer remember was actually needed to invent the device.

Well, some "engineers" were trying to construct a suction pump, a predecessor of the vacuum pump, for a local Grand Duke of Tuscany. They wanted to raise water by 12 meters. As you may expect, it didn't work quite well: 10 meters was the maximum. Torricelli noticed this experimental lesson and quickly had the idea to replace water by mercury whose density is 14 times higher. He immersed a one-meter-long tube into a vessel with mercury and tried to raise it.

Well, the liquid poison didn't go more than 760 millimeters above the surface level in the vessel. He ultimately realized that the exact height fluctuated, depending on the air pressure. Needless to say, these insights helped Blaise Pascal and others to develop a more detailed understanding of hydrostatics and related questions.

He also discovered Torricelli's law determining the velocity of the liquid sprinkling from a hole at depth \(h\). Of course, the right velocity is\[

v= \sqrt{2 g h},

\] the same velocity that a freely falling object reaches when it starts at the height \(h\). The latter problem is easily solved by comparing the kinetic and potential energy (the latter is changing to the former during the fall),\[

\frac{mv^2}{2} = mgh,

\] but it also holds for the water molecules because the kinetic energy of the water in the vessel is negligible (as it scales with the second power of the speed which is very low) and there are two changes affecting the vessel: molecules are disappearing from the surface; and some other molecules are sprinkling from the hole at depth \(h\).

So the lost potential energy of the "disappearing molecules at the surface" which were moved to the hole (it doesn't matter which molecules are which, we're only computing the energy) has to be converted to the only other term in energy we see, the kinetic energy of the sprinkling water, so we inevitably get the same formula for the speed.

Torricelli's law got generalized to Bernoulli's law some years later.\[

{v^2 \over 2}+gz+{p\over\rho}=\text{constant}.

\] It's still an energy conservation law in one form and relatively to the equation equivalent to Torricelli's law, it also contains the extra pressure term \(p/\rho\) which acknowledges that the pressure may also change due to other reasons and the internal energy of the liquid also depends on the pressure (pressure is a sort of energy per unit volume and all the terms in the equations are forms of "energy per unit mass" which is why the pressure has to be divided by the density \(\rho\)).

Torricelli also discovered his trumpet, also known as Gabriel's horn, whose volume is finite but the surface is divergent. It was considered to be an incredible paradox by various people who sucked in maths. Torricelli didn't suck in maths; instead, he was able to suck liquids but only up to the height \(p_{\rm atm.}/(\rho g)\), as we mentioned. He knew how to find out which series (and, indirectly, integrals) converged and which didn't. This also led him to realize that there exist telescoping sums ? something that helped me to earn $300 a few weeks ago ? where most of the terms cancel. If a sum may be rewritten as\[

(a_0-a_1)+(a_1-a_2)+(a_2-a_3)+\dots + (a_{n-1}-a_n),

\] the result is clearly \(a_0-a_n\). Some interesting sums may actually be rewritten ? either exactly or approximately ? in this form which allows us to quickly calculate or at least estimate the result (or prove that it converges when it does).

Why don't we remember the engineers who tried to construct the 12-meter water suction pump? Is it unfair? I don't think so. They didn't think about their "failure" too much. A true physicist must be able to notice patterns and convert "unpleasant surprises" to "great new insights" whenever it's possible. Torricelli knew how to do that which is why he was more important than the engineers who made the random discovery.

Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!: iPhone-o-Gram! Home Improvements!

We have spent the morning running around in search of industrial carpet tiles for the basement, and replacement doors for both the front and back entryways to the house.

Doors have been chosen and someone will come measure for the installation.

Carpet tiles have been chosen and are loaded in the back of the trailer! Much discussion ensues on when this carpet project will commence! :-)

There were are two choices. The dark one on the left makes a star pattern when the tiles are rotated-- the lighter one on the right had a fun squiggly design.

Firmly believing that basement carpet should be the color of dirt, we chose the darker one on the left over the lighter one on the right.

I'm excited about the possibilities of this new home improvement project, the only daunting prospect being the moving of the fabric cabinets, the freezer, the extra fridge, and everything that is in the studio side of the basement. :-(

Looks like we have our winter work cut out for us!

Middle East Modular--Profitable | Daily Business News

Modular builder Red Sea Housing Services in Jubail, Saudi Arabia reports profits for the first nine months of 2012 rose 32 percent over the same period 2011, according to ConstructionWeekOnline. Year-over-year profits for the three months since June nearly doubled compared to last year. The company said the net income increase is due to the growth of rental income for the period. Gross profit margins also grew to 24.2% from 19.4% in the same period as last year. Located on the Persian Gulf, the company builds modular housing compounds for workers, but intends to enter the residential modular market. MHProNews has been informed the president of Red Sea, Dr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Kassabi, has just resigned his position to serve His Highness the Crown Prince.

Genes and immune system shaped by childhood poverty, stress

ScienceDaily (Oct. 18, 2012) ? A University of British Columbia and Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics (CMMT) study has revealed that childhood poverty, stress as an adult, and demographics such as age, sex and ethnicity, all leave an imprint on a person's genes. And, that this imprint could play a role in our immune response.

The study was published last week in a special volume of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that looks at how experiences beginning before birth and in the years after can affect the course of a person's life.

Known as epigenetics, or the study of changes in gene expression, this research examined a process called DNA methylation where a chemical molecule is added to DNA and acts like a dimmer on a light bulb switch, turning genes on or off or setting them somewhere in between. Research has shown that a person's life experiences play a role in shaping DNA methylation patterns.

The research team discovered that childhood poverty, but not socioeconomic status as an adult, was correlated with the marks or methylation patterns left on genes.

"We found biological residue of early life poverty," said Michael Kobor, an associate professor of medical genetics at UBC, whose CMMT lab at the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI) led the research. "This was based on clear evidence that environmental influences correlate with epigenetic patterns."

The amount of stress hormones produced by adults was also linked with variations in DNA methylation. Like the chicken and the egg, Kobor says it is unknown whether increased stress as an adult could leave marks on DNA or whether the marks may play a role in the amount of stress hormones released.

Kobor, who is a Mowafaghian Scholar at the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), and his colleagues also found that methylation patterns were predictive of future immune responses, suggesting that early life experiences could play a role in our response to illness later in life.

TaxVox ? Blog Archive ? How Much Revenue Would a Cap on ...

In last night?s debate, Mitt Romney repeated the idea that he could pay for much or all of the 20 percent rate reduction and other tax cuts in his tax plan by capping itemized deductions at $25,000. He had previously suggested a $17,000 cap in an interview and, in the first debate, $25,000 or $50,000 caps?and possibly phasing deductions out entirely for high-income taxpayers. Capping deductions would raise revenue in a highly progressive way but how much revenue and how progressive depend on the cap.

Itemized deductions disproportionately benefit high-income taxpayers for three reasons:

1. High-income taxpayers are more likely to itemize deductions. Less than 10 percent of those in the bottom two income quintiles (fifths) itemized in 2011, compared with about 80 percent of those in the top quintile and more than 95 percent of those in the top 1 percent.
2. High-income taxpayers claim more itemized deductions. Itemizers in the bottom two quintiles averaged less than $14,000 in 2011, compared with nearly $38,000 for those in the top quintile and more than $170,000 for the top 1 percent. A higher cap on deductions would therefore affect fewer taxpayers and a larger share of affected taxpayers would have very high incomes.
3. A dollar?s worth of deductions reduces taxes more for high-income taxpayers. That dollar saves 35 cents for someone in the top 35 percent tax bracket but only 15 cents for a person in the 15 percent bracket.

As a result, more than 80 percent of the tax savings from itemized deductions in 2011 went to those in the top quintile and more than a quarter to the top 1 percent. Paring back those deductions would hit high-income taxpayers hardest.

To get a sense of how much money we could raise by capping tax deductions, my TPC colleagues have analyzed the resulting revenue gains and distributional impacts of four ways to limit itemized deductions?eliminating them entirely and capping them at $17,000, $25,000, or $50,000?calculated against three benchmarks (current law, current policy, and current policy with 20 percent lower rates and elimination of the AMT). As usual, the current law baseline has all expiring tax cuts actually expiring, while the current policy baseline has almost all of them ?permanently?extended.

Eliminating all itemized deductions would yield about $2 trillion of additional revenue over ten years if we cut all rates by 20 percent and eliminate the AMT. Capping deductions would generate less additional revenue, and the higher the cap, the smaller the gain. Limiting deductions to $17,000 would increase revenues by nearly $1.7 trillion over ten years. A $25,000 cap would yield roughly $1.3 trillion and a $50,000 cap would raise only about $760 billion.

But higher caps would impose proportionally more of the tax increase on higher-income households, as new TPC estimates show. With tax rates 20 percent below today?s rates, about 83 percent of the revenue gain?in 2015 from a $17,000 cap would fall on the top quintile?and about 40 percent on the top 1 percent. Raising the cap to $25,000 would boost those shares to nearly 90 percent on the top quintile and fully half on the top 1 percent. A $50,000 cap would virtually exempt the bottom four quintiles from higher taxes: less than 4 percent of the tax increase would fall on them, while nearly 80 percent would hit the top 1 percent. (Phasing down the caps at high-income levels would, of course, concentrate the revenue gains even more at the high end, but how much would depend on the details.)

Suggesting limits on deductions was Governor Romney?s first public statement about how he might offset the revenue lost by cutting tax rates. Without more specifics, we can?t say how much revenue such limits would actually raise. But these new estimates suggest that Romney will need to do much more than capping itemized deductions to pay for the roughly $5 trillion in rate cuts and other tax benefits he has proposed.

Android App Review ? Battery Widget? Reborn!

If I had a pound for every battery widget or battery monitoring app on the Google Play Store I would have a couple of hundred pounds. If I had a pound for every one of those apps that actually did any good or showed you any sort of useful information I would have about twenty quid.

So what is this one and what does it do? Well, it all depends what version of Android you are running. I?ll start with Jellybean as more and more devices are getting updated.

You get the following features to the app, a status bar percentage gauge. A drop down notification percentage gauge, which is expandable with a two finger swipe. A stand alone app that shows the same info and lets you configure the widgets. You also get a homescreen widget which is resizeable.

The status bar part works in Ice Cream Sandwich as well, so if you want a battery percentage displaying on your top bar then this app is for you.

The drop down part under Jelly Bean is configurable so that it appears exppanded constantly, some of the time or never, the expanded view shows you a graph of usage and also has wifi and bluetooth toggles. Under Ice Cream Sandwich the dropdown only shows three elements which you can change. You can display remaining capacity, remaining time, time when completed, voltage, temperature and health.

The time remaining part of the app needs to learn how your battery works so it will take a few days to calibrate properly. Bear with it.

The stand alone part of the app basically pulls all the elements into one area, it?s nicely Holo themed and provides shortcuts to wifi, bluetooth, data sync, airplace mode, battery usage, battery history chart, current charge cycle stats, long term stats, settings for the notification area and drop down and some advanced settings handling airplane mode at night scehduling and a fahrenheit or celsius toggle for the temperature part.

Overall it is a really useful app that on the outset just looks like a status bar percentage. Little things like the fact it recognises the second battery in the Asus Transformer range and the expandable notification in Jelly Bean really make it a useful app.?Being able to see approximately how many hours remaining my battery has is quite a useful thing. Especially if I won?t be near a charger in a while.

The Beta version is free on the?Play Store so you can try it out, if you like it and appreciate the developers hard work on this app then go for the Pro Version.

Southern Michigan Knows: Movie Review: "ARGO"

During the Iran Hostage Crisis, a group of U.S. Embassy employees escaped capture and hid out for months in the Canadian Embassy. These fugitives were in fear for their lives until an unbelievable ruse was planned to help them escape under the guise of being the film crew for a science fiction movie named "ARGO". This true story is an amazing and interesting factual account of this historic international event. The story was enlightening and well-told. It was just interesting enough to keep me waiting for the inevitable happy ending. 3 of 5 stars.

Premiere Theater in Hillsdale MI shows new release movies like "ARGO" on 7 screens and is located just 6 minutes from the Munro House B&B in Jonesville. Weekend movie tickets are currently just $6.50. That's a deal!

Taping of NBC's 'Fashion Star' halted by picketers

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Union picketing has brought a temporary halt to second-season production of the NBC reality show "Fashion Star."

About 70 members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees picketed the show Saturday at Hollywood Center Studios, prompting producers to cancel a taping and dismiss a studio audience.

IATSE official Vanessa Holtgrew told the Hollywood Reporter the union was striking against the show until a contract is reached.

The union allows members to work on the non-union "Fashion Star," but they get no pension and health benefits without a union contract.

IATSE is fighting to keep a foothold as union-heavy productions like feature films in Los Angeles increasingly give way to productions that tend to be non-union like reality shows.

NBC and the show's three production companies had no immediate comment.

Europe considers euro zone budget, pooling borrowing

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone countries should consider clubbing together to borrow as well as paying into a central budget that could be used to help struggling countries, according to a report prepared by senior European officials ahead of a meeting of leaders.

The interim report, prepared by Herman Van Rompuy, who as president of the European Council will chair a summit meeting next week, charts a path towards closer fiscal integration among the 17 countries using the euro as they struggle to contain an economic crisis.

In the interim paper obtained by Reuters on Friday, officials write of the need to explore a central budget for countries in the euro zone.

Van Rompuy's thinking - firmly backed by Germany - is that some form of "fiscal capacity" among the euro-area countries will allow them to iron out labor market and other socio-economic imbalances that build up in the bloc.

The fund could be used to help a country such as Spain, which has unemployment of 25 percent and is struggling to reinvigorate growth. In exchange for budget rigor, the pan-euro zone fund could provide targeted assistance.

"One of the functions of such a new fiscal capacity would be to facilitate adjustments to country-specific shocks by providing for some degree of absorption at the central level," officials wrote.

The 27 countries in the European Union currently finance a budget which amounts to around 130 billion euros a year - 1 percent of EU output - and which is used for spending on agriculture, science, infrastructure and other areas.

But there is no equivalent budget among the 17 countries that share the euro, a shortcoming that many economists believe has undermined the stability of the currency project.

EURO T-BILLS?

Germany and France strongly support the proposal and, in a surprise to many EU diplomats, Britain does too, but for different reasons. London sees a euro zone budget as a way of further separating Britain and its increasingly EU-skeptical electorate from the currency bloc and its problems.

The report, prepared in conjunction with the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, also addresses the contested idea of pooling country borrowing.

The report, which will be finalized in December, advocates examining "the pooling of some short term sovereign funding instruments, for example, treasury bills, on a limited and conditional basis."

Such a move in the short term would be viewed skeptically by Berlin, which is reluctant to see weaker countries in the bloc piggyback on its economic strength in order to borrow more cheaply.

Berlin may, however, be prepared to consider such a move in the distant future after Europe has taken significant steps towards a tighter political and fiscal union.

SafePro Launches Full Line of Rooftop Safety and Security Products ...

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 28, 2010

SafePro (http://www.safeprosafety.com), a Dallas-based manufacturer of rooftop safety and security products, announced today that it has launched its full line of patent-pending rooftop fall protection and security products throughout the U.S. and Canada. Developed by an experienced team of roofing and construction industry experts, SafePro products exceed OSHA requirements and include the only all-in-one roof hatch fall protection and security system on the market.

The idea for the SafePro roof access system came when I was climbing down through a roof hatch on a windy day and was nearly knocked unconscious by the roof hatch door, said SafePro co-founder Tim Rainey. As I clung to the skinny ladder, waiting for the dizziness to stop and hoping I wouldn?t fall, the seed for SafePro was planted. There had to be a better, safer way to go up and down through a roof hatch, and I went searching for an automatic lift solution. When I couldn?t find one, we decided we needed to build it.

SafePro?s founders have personally climbed up through thousands of roof hatches and experienced, first-hand, the hazards of accessing commercial rooftops. Wanting to make roof access safer, more secure and convenient and understanding the costly effects that fall injuries have on businesses, SafePro spent more than two years researching, developing and testing its patent-pending products. Available regionally for over a year, SafePro rooftop safety and security products are now available across the U.S. and in Canada through select industry partners and SafePro certified installers.

The SafePro product line includes a solar-powered roof hatch lift, remote controlled rooftop access, a security keypad entrance and an ergonomic rail system and ladder extension. The products are designed to provide safe and convenient access to rooftops, safe rooftop working conditions and security against unauthorized access to rooftops and buildings.

The SafePro roof hatch fall protection system is the only solution I?ve been able to find that includes the roof hatch power lift system, which operates and makes a significant impact much like a garage door opener does for a garage door, said Weldon Nash, FCSI, CCS and industry consultant. The SafePro safety rail system is equally impressive. Made of steel and sturdy enough to be used as a ladder extension, it helps keep people safe during those last, most hazardous steps onto the rooftop.

Capital News ? Muluka quits ODM communications post

An image grab shows Muluka during an interview on Jeff Koinage?s Capital Talk Show/K24

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 11 ? The Director of Communications at the Raila Odinga Presidential Campaign secretariat Barrack Muluka has resigned.

A statement from Odinga?s chief campaign manager Eliud Owalo said Muluka has opted out of the secretariat to pursue further studies.

?This is to let you know that Barrack has now relinquished the position of National Director of Communications at the secretariat, on a pre-negotiated understanding at the time of his engagement in February 2012,? read the statement released on Thursday.

Owalo said Muluka planned to undertake doctorate studies in politics and international relations at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom.

Owalo added they had agreed to allow Muluka pursue his studies, as well as other professional interests beginning next week.

?Barrack however remains a life member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party. We meanwhile wish him well on this fresh mission,? Owalo said.

In a statement sent on Wednesday evening to newsrooms Muluka said: ?It has been a privilege to support the Prime Minister in his presidential campaign effort and I wish him well in what is left of the journey.?

The Odinga campaign team said it would retain Muluka as a special consultant and principal advisor to the secretariat on public communications and media relations.

There have been unconfirmed reports that Muluka will be replaced by another veteran Salim Lone who would double as Odinga?s spokesman and media director.
