SnapEngage Review: chatting about the weather
Don't be surprised if one of SnapEngage's staff starts talking the weather when you are on their website. That's because their chat console not only shows them where you are in the world but also the current weather conditions. This way you'll certainly never run out of topics.
Apart from this little gadget you can also get some serious business done with SnapEngage. It's extremely easy to use for you and your employees. The most efficient way to use it is through their web interface. To learn more about it take a look at these screenshots:

Snapengage recently changed their pricing, removing not only the free option but also the Basic plan. Their cheapest plan now starts at $49 per month.
Our SnapEngage rating in detail
|Ease of use
|Not difficult to set up. Some of the menus look a bit dated though, which doesn't add to the user experience.
|Add the code snippet to your website. If you change the appearance of the chat client you will have to re-insert the code to your website.
|Appearance customization
|You can choose from different buttons or upload your own one. Intro texts can't be customized. Should have more options.
|Chat features
|-Chat client (that customers use)
|The chat window can be moved around and looks great. Chat agents can use their photo to make the chat more personal. Offers a call-back feature.
|-Chat agent console / use of instant messengers (IM)
|Either use the new web client or a third party instant messenger (e.g. Skype or GTalk). Not a whole lot of fancy features in the web client but it works. Warns you before it goes into idle mode.
|-Proactive chats & triggers
|Can be initiated automatically after a certain amount of time and depending on the page visited. Cannot be started manually, which is a drawback. A trigger can be set if no agent responds in time.
|-Offline mode
|Will act as a contact form but can also be hidden.
|-Shortcuts / canned messages
|Canned messages can be set up easily in the web client. Works in your instant messenger as well.
|-Create chat protocols
|Transcripts can be created and emailed to a pre-defined address.
|Tracking & live analytics
|Visitor details will only be visible once the chat request has been sent.
|A lot of different languages for chat buttons are available. For multilingual sites you would have to insert different HTML codes to your site.

|More features
|-Working in a team
|Chats can be transferred from one agent to another via the web interface or their command syntax

|Overall rating
|Uncluttered and easy to use. If you can do without live analytics go for it!

SnapEngage is definitely an interesting option. Compared to tools like Zopim and Olark we are missing an analytics function combined with a possibility to manually start a chat. However, many of you probably won't even miss this option.
One thing they have going for them is the cobrowsing feature (similar to screensharing). Most of the other live chat tools had to remove it when Firefly, an external provider, stopped supporting them. SnapEngage is the only live chat software we know that is still offering it.
Its strengths are definitely ease of use and their very efficient web client that gives easy access to all the important functionalities. Visitors can even request a phone call that will then be routed through SnapEngage's infrastructure (USA and Canada only). If all that sounds good to you, simply give it a go!
> Try SnapEngage yourself for free (15-days free trial)
04 Dec 2017 - Some general updates
19 May 2014 - Added information on cobrowsing
27 Sep 2012 - Pricing update: Free, Startup and Basic plan have been removed.
16 Aug 2012 - Initial tests

FlatOut: Head On is ready to drop the hammer on the PSP extreme racing genre, bringing high speed destruction and leaving more broken bones and wrecked cars in its wake, than a Richard Hammond Top Gear stunt. From rock-smashing dust ups in arid desert landscapes to down and dirty races through rubbish-strewn city streets, FlatOut's PSP debut is yet another gritty excursion into racing carnage.
The FlatOut physics engine delivers levels of extreme racing that have yet to be seen on the PSP; get ready for head on destruction that could literally leave you, the track and your car in pieces. Persistent objects like fallen rocks, shopping trolleys and car parts remain on the track from one lap to the next, creating additional obstacles to avoid. The more carnage you create, the more points you score, but the more problems you'll face. However using this to your advantage will get you even more bonus points by wrecking other vehicles throughout the races With multiplayer WIFI and party gaming modes from wheel to wheel challenges, demolition derbies and the fans' favourite, the ragdoll stunts, the only reason you'll stop is if you have no wheels left.
Once again you get to bounce the driver around like a ragdoll in death-defying stunts which leave the driver limp and lifeless. In fact it's never been more fun to see your driver launched through the windscreen towards various oversized objects (like dartboards and bowling pins) for the pleasure of the crowd – who will be grabbing your PSP from you to show you just how good they are!

text: All my text messages were randomly erased on my droid recently for no reason whatsoever. I saw that this was a common problem so I was wondering if anybody knew of a good app that backs up all of your sms/mms messages onto either a memory card or online. I saw a bunch of apps that can do this but im also looking for the ability to recover them from the backup and put them back into the native messenger app. I don't mind paying for an app as long as it does what I want and is reliable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Animal prints are back and they are better than ever. With zebra, tiger and leopard prints taking over, no one can deny themselves some of this sweet safari fashion.
Along with the prints, I've put together a collection of fierce safari looks. Check it out below!
Implications - The allure behind the use of animal prints lies in an ancient human urge to indulge in animalistic behavior. Though consumers are not about to run around on all fours sniffing around and doing mating calls, they will take the less drastic route of donning animal-inspired apparel. This feeds into a predator-prey instinct that today's over-worked consumer can definitely appreciate.

Shock, fear and euphoria as US tries to make sense of it all
The White House of Horrors.
That was the take of the New York Daily News yesterday as America and the world tried to make sense of Donald Trump's election as president.
The thing is it doesn't make any sense - just ask the voters.
Most of the US TV networks carried out extensive exit polls to see what people thought of the candidates and the results are fascinating.
According to a NBC study, Hillary Clinton's image rating was 44pc favourable compared to Trump's 37pc. A massive 61pc said they had an unfavourable view of the Republican. More voters saw Clinton as honest and trustworthy compared to Trump.
Only a little more than a third of voters said Trump had the temperament to serve as president.
CNN reported that most voters made their decision prior to the so-called 'October surprise' that was the FBI reopening the investigation into Clinton's emails.
Voters shared a largely positive view of the Obama era with 54pc approving of his performance.
He said during the campaign that it would be an insult to his legacy if his successor was a reality TV star who was unfit to serve.
More than half of Americans said the economy was the most important issue affecting their decision, yet Trump's economic plan has been ridiculed by business leaders.
Even more bizarrely, 71pc favoured giving undocumented immigrants, many of them Irish, a chance to gain legal status.
Trump has ruled out what he sees as an "amnesty".
Despite all that, people elected Donald Trump.
He has managed to pull the plug on the political establishment and undermined the need for mainstream media to sort fact from fiction.
The reaction in the States is akin to that in the UK after the Brexit referendum.
There is shock and confusion. Tension and fear. But there are also those who feel euphoric.
Mostly though there was just shock.
There was so much shock in the Clinton campaign that Hillary pulled out of her Election Day rally in Manhattan.
She could just about bring herself to phone Trump and concede the White House.
Yet again she was within touching distance of the Oval Office and saw it ripped from her clutches. There's unlikely to be any comeback on this occasion though.
When she did eventually gather her thoughts, she was quick to say "sorry".
A word her opponent has rarely uttered.

Jim Beam unveils 'richer, woodier' twice-aged bourbon whiskey
Jim Beam has released a new Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, finished in oak that is twice-barreled to create "a richer and woodier flavour".
Jim Beam Double Oak is aged for four years while sitting in freshly charred American oak barrels, before being transferred to newly charred American oak barrels and aged to taste. The second barreling allows the liquid to develop an even deeper level of intense spiced oakiness and rich caramel, creating a unique bourbon experience, Jim Beam said.
"I'm excited to experiment with the double barrel ageing process used to create Jim Beam Double Oak," said Jim Beam seventh-generation master distiller Fred Noe. "Secondary ageing delivers an added complexity to the taste profile and that makes for a unique, premium bourbon experience."
Jim Beam Double Oak will begin hitting shelves this month. The latest innovation from the bourbon maker has a golden amber colour and a distinctive spiced oakiness with intense caramel and toffee flavours. The aroma carries rich notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of toasted wood. It is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or mixed in classic American cocktails and has a suggested retail price of $22 for a 750ml bottle.

Ron Paul predicts the 'end of days'....again
No shrinking violet, Dr. Paul, he has predicted correctly and incorrectly quite a few occurrences over the past 20 years, and quite a few 'end of days' scenarios as well, which never seem to pan out.
This time, he predicts that the U.S. economy will collapse this year. He points to runaway spending, sky high tax rates and the lack of any political will to do anything about any of this by Congress as a precursor to economic chaos in 2015.
Ron Paul has always been very pessimistic when it comes to the resilience of Americans. He has persisted in his 'end of days' comments on every single bill coming out of Congress, and that we are doomed. But what he doesn't count into his calculus is the backbone of the American people. We have seen tough times before, and we will again. And we will overcome those tough times, as we always do.
As in years passed, some of his predictions have come to pass: in 2002 he predicted the "Arab Spring" would result in many of our shaky Arab allies being overthrown by Muslim extremists. This indeed has happened. But he also predicted that we were in for an economic melt down that would bring us to our knees, this one made perhaps 15 years ago.
So far, that hasn't happened. And it probably won't. If we were to see the economy blow up, that would have happened in 2007-9, (the Great Recession). Sure, things were bad, and lots of people lost their jobs and the economy has shrunk. No denying that this is true.
But the extent to which Dr. Paul portrays the 'end of days' just isn't in the cards for the largest economy on the planet. Despite the horrible Great Recession, the U.S. economy is still the mightiest, most robust and reliable economy in the world today.
Ron Paul is now offering up his doom and gloom predictions on behalf of precious metal interests, and warning that if we Americans don't start going back to using gold and silver as money, we will all end up in the gutter, destitute and forlorn in our misery.
From my understanding, Dr. Paul is a medical doctor, and more specifically a gynecologist/obstetrician by trade. He was elected to serve the people of Texas in the House of Representatives back in the 1970's, and now considers himself an expert in world economics.
I may trust Dr. Paul to perhaps lance a boil or set a broken bone with competence, but his complete lack of credibility in all things economics is frankly breathtaking.
He has been predicting the end of days here in the U.S. for what seems like forever, and now he is finally doing it for money. He is the perfect spokesperson for precious metal commodity brokers, because they have been saying the same thing for the last thousand years.
And I am not buying what he is selling, and neither should you. Both he and all of those gold bugs out there have been wrong, wrong, wrong for centuries. And centuries to come.

You didn't need a ouji board to predict that one. When Hillary took a few victory laps, you knew that it was going to come crashing down. The Barack/Hillary foreign policy team was the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
Ron Paul and friends are HOPEFUL that the economy will collapse, but it won't. Other countries can't let it, and that's the secret to US monetary policy. As we go, so goes the planet.

He's always struck me as a more successful Lyndon LaRouche, with a loyal cadre of devotees.
And they say the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
An acorn, of course, being another nut.
Apart from properly criticizing him for being a shill for precious metals, do you think we should have left the gold standard initially?
I've always heard that was a bad move.

I'm OK with the international monetary system not based on physical gold/silver/platinum. The gold standard was fine when the world economy was only dealing with two or three billion people, and most of them were third world folk, who bartered with goats and dowries, etc.
At some point, there just wasn't enough gold to support the world economy, and that was evident to Richard Nixon and Paul Volker in the early 1970's. Those guys were brilliant. It's akin to refining platypus poop and nothing but platypus poop into methanol to fuel the planet's internal combustion engines: at some point, this bottle neck would fail. Now we have 6 billion humans running around, all wanting an Apple iPhone 6. All of 'em.
Paper money and gold are nothing more than an abstract concept of value. Or bitcoin. Same same. Simply built on the confidence of the holder that the issuer will when push comes to shove redeem the bills for something of equal value to the stated value on the piece of paper. Physical gold was just not plentiful enough, and once we left the gold standard ( and therefore increasing the 'money supply'), look what happened to the world's abstract wealth: it went through the roof. Living standards throughout the world sky rocketed (with some backwoods exceptions due to political restrictions). Check out the Dow Jones industrial average as of the time Richard Nixon suspended gold certificates to now. There's no better gauge than that to show you that what I am saying is true. We all live with central HVAC and big screen TV's. Even the bums. Back in the 1970's and before, we all darned our socks to make them last. Now we toss them when they get dirty. We are living large because we ditched the gold standard.
No, no gold needed to sustain a world economy, despite what the gold bugs such as William DeVane, Glenn Beck, G. Gordon Liddy and Ron Paul tell you. They don't know jack shit about how the world works.
They are just trying to jack up the price of gold and silver, both mere commodities, nothing more. They may as well try to convince the public that we all should switch to physical pork bellies to pay for our Egg McMuffins, and dump paper money, and carry around bacon in our wallets.
It's just nuts.

Armageddon will indeed come. If the mullahs in Iran have their way, they will be the ones to set it off.
If the world has any sense, it will simply aim their nukes at Iran, and send them all to meet their 73 virgins. And while they are happy with their afterlife virgins, we will let their country cool off, let the radioactive fallout half life simmer down over a generation or two, and then maybe repopulate this plain of glass by a more reasonable population.

The LaRouchies of the day closely resemble the Paulbots. Most of the Paulbots simply wanted to smoke pot all day and play Call of Duty in their parent's basement.
Your are right: you look up the definition of 'crackpot' and you will see photos of both Ron Paul and Lyndon LaRouche. And John Birch. All cut from the same bolt of cloth.

I am REALLY happy to hear you say this because all this talk about financial collapse and no more dollar and the Chinese, etc etc...has me worried.
I'm going to go along with YOU!
- May 9, 2015 at 12:32 PM
- Fredd said...
No more dollar, Chinese yuan taking over as the world currency, all bunk.
All spewed by folks with an agenda which doesn't coincide with yours or mine.
Ignore those idiots.
All that crap is just a sales tactic, no more, no less. The oldest one in the book, in fact: create fear, real or imagined (most often the latter), offer a solution to ease the fear, sit back and rake in the bucks.
Example: the sky is falling. Just look, you can see the clouds swirling around making room for the falling chunks of sky. And when they fall, they will crush your precious two month old baby in its cradle. Do you want that to happen? Do you? No, of course not, and I can sell you a sky chunk-proof cover for your child's cradle that is guaranteed to work, and your precious child will be safe.
But wait...if you order now...

Fredd, I'll just say that 'mankind' has always placed a value on gold. Go as far back as you want and people want it.
Interesting if someone didn't know, but if you take all the processed gold in the world it would fit in the size of a tennis court as a cube.
Only when someone has no food or water will they no accept gold as a form of payment.
I also read where the gold miners have hit 'peak production' last year. Who knows if that's true but still.
- May 10, 2015 at 9:37 AM
- Fredd said...
I know you love your gold, who doesn't.
BUT: mankind has always loved beef, too. We don't base our economy on it, however.
Mankind has always valued salt, so much so that Roman soldiers were paid with salt (worth your salt).
Mankind has always valued olive oil, and it too was used as a medium of exchange back in the good old days. That, and you can't make a good spaghetti sauce without it, can't be done.
Gold is no different. It has been valued since antiquity, it's shiny, durable and you can use it for lots of things. But its time as a medium of exchange has come and gone, Kid.
Time to move into the 21st century, Kid, rather than hang around with those folk who love to cling to the past. Like Cleveland Browns fans, for example.
Gold now is only a commodity. Nothing more, nothing less. Not an international medium any longer. Those days are over.
- May 10, 2015 at 9:54 AM
- Fredd said...
Ed: yup, changing all the time.
Back in the day, we used to call it 'weather.'
Now, though, it's called inequality of income, or words to that effect.

Fredd, If you're talking about a god standard, I agree, not gonna happen, but get ready for the coming 50 year bull market in gold as people begin to realize pieces of paper are just pieces of paper.
- May 10, 2015 at 4:36 PM
- Kid said...
Here ya go Fredd.
I wish I was younger so I could participate in more of this coming Gold Bull market.
Bottom line? 105 on the GLD and buy buy buy and close your eyes.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:12 PM

Fredd, PS - I don't own any physical gold, and don't expect to. I will lean toward going long various Gold based ETF's though - GDXJ, GDX, NUGT, JNUG mainly.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:14 PM
- Fredd said...
Gold, everybody loves the stuff. I am not gambling on gold at the moment, as I don't have a good feel as to what the perceived value is, compared to where it will be 2 years from now.
But there's just not enough of the stuff to base any kind of economy on anymore. 500 years ago, sure.
There is no immediate answer to our disagreement on paper vs gold, as that will only shake out in the long run.
But consider this:
Those greenbacks that you call 'pieces of paper' are contracts. The bearer redeems a promise by the U.S. government that the face value of the contract (also known as a 'piece of paper') will be delivered on demand.
Dollars are not just 'pieces of paper,' Kid, you couldn't be more wrong. Oh, so wrong.
Yes, dollars are printed on paper, but that's about the only thing that has to do with paper.
If you truly believe that dollars are only pieces of paper and nothing more, then get out of my house, Kid.
Yeah, that house you are in right now is mine. I am claiming it. Forget that deed, that's just a 'piece of paper.' Nothing more. And take your crappy furniture with you. But leave the guns.
And while you're at it, hand over that woman you are living with. Wife, smife, Kid. That marriage license is 'just a piece of paper.'
And your car, it's mine, Kid. And don't try to pawn off on me that 'piece of paper' you are calling a pink slip. Hand those keys over, I am planning a trip to Vegas, and need some wheels. Yours will do just fine.
Your 'piece of paper' argument could describe just about every contract in the world. You can't just tear them up and call these contracts worthless just because the terms of the contract are not chiseled into ingots of gold.

In the juniors section, Sion Davenport won with a bag of six fish weighing 9lb and in the seniors Rob Redman won with his bag of five fish weighing in at 8lb 11oz, beating two other bags of five fish. Dylan Davenport won the heaviest fish at 2lb 11oz.
Bait Competition
There were 22 competing in three categories. Aron Humphreys won the children's juniors competition with his bag of ten fish at 15lb 12oz. LLia Edwards won the under 16's with two fish at 2lb 7oz. In the seniors, Darren Vaughan beat off two others to win the heaviest bag with his four fish at 6lb 12oz. Darren also had the heaviest fish at 2lb 1oz, just beating Beryl Roberts fishing for the first time with her lovely brownie of 2lb. Cups were presented by Mark Roberts, vice chairman together with rods for the children.
81 fish were caught on the day & reports that the lake had fished well days before with fish of 4lb reported. Best fish caught this season so far is a 11lb rainbow.

Workaround for files that cannot be accessed ("Access is Denied")
A few thousand of my pictures could not be accessed anymore after I had to re-install my whole computer after a crash. They all got the error message: "Access is Denied".
Also copying and deleting is impossible.
With the great free tool UNLOCKER I could still delete them.
Then, searching for an explanation, I found forum posts trying to explain that the error message had to do with older Windows versions, different folder systems, links instead of real files. I didnt understand at all, but wanted to follow up the advice 'take ownership an change permissions'. So I went to the Reccle Bin and restored the unaccessible files.
After restoring their behavior was completely normal.
Can other people let me know if the following steps work well for them too? Or if they have a different/better solution?
1. Install UNLOCKER
2. Rightclick on the unaccessible files (group selection possible) and select DELETE.
3. Go to the recycle bin, select the same files, right click and select RESTORE.
4. Files should be accessible now.

Hi WimYogya , You could always try this Take Ownership Shortcut
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2012
No, I can't try that: right clicking shows no menu options about taking ownerships
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2012
The process of taking ownership of files can be confusing - so Mark made a file that you can download, unzip and merge with your registry so that the "take ownership" option will appear in the context menu.
I have Unlocker and have used it for years. Like you said, it moved the files that you were working with to the recycle bin. My guess is that when the undelete process put them back, they inherited the security settings of the parent folder - so you could get to them. That is pure conjecture on my part because I have no way of knowing just what part of the security descriptors were messed up on the original set of files... so I cannot duplicate/test to see if the steps that you took will always work.
It does not sound all that safe. For instance, Unlocker could be deleting more files than the recycle bin can hold... then some would be lost. People are better off learning the take ownership steps.
Edit: I tested one situation on a folder that I had removed all but the system access to. Unlocker deleted the folder (and a subfolder with the same restrictions) but I could not restore them from the recycle bin. I tested this stuff in a Virtual Machine.
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2012
For me it works well with Unlocker > Delete > Restore.
I do it step by step: I locate the unaccessible files (they have no thumbnail, just an icon), select a bunch and delete them, select a few more etc, then after max 250-300 I undelete them and... Voilà! All ok.
I have never understood the whole ownership stuff well - especially in these abnormal conditions where I seem to be owner but am not.
I take your warning seriously and will not delete complete folders through unlocker if I want to restore them.
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2012
That is an interesting work around you have found
Yes, the whole ownership/permissions thing can be a bit much.

Forget The Food Court. The MTA is considering a proposal next week for a 16,000-square-foot restaurant in Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal.
The eatery would include a 100-seat restaurant and take-out venue run by Claus Meyer, co-creator of Noma in Copenhagen, which was ranked "Best Restaurant in the World" in surveys by Restaurant magazine four of the past five years, the MTA told the New York Post.
"We are delighted to consider welcoming a world-class restaurant that would enliven spaces that are either closed to the public or used only for special events," MTA Chairman Thomas F. Prendergast said.
If approved the restaurant would open in 2016. [NYP] – Christopher Cameron

I thought it was just some sort of code that triggered a dialog box to pop up but looking at it now it appears to be a WA thing. As I remember....it was a very quick an easy thing...(for you anyway). I think this is it in my old coldfusion code in my checkout page. I guess I should stay away from spry right now as I know nothing about it.
How would I recreate this same type of scenario in php? Is there some sort of tutorial somewhere? Sorry for the questions but I'm not sure how to implement this.
I assume I do it on the checkout page and add a serverbehavior with the "+" button? and then to validation toolkit and then to server validations?
If that is correct....then it should be triggered by..."current page submit"?
"validation type" looks self explanitory and then
how can I determine the "server variable"?
and what goes in the big box with the "+" button above it...is that the message that appears when it is an invalid entry?
"failure redirect" I assume should be the same checkout page? (Return to the same page to reenter the information?)

Your usual attempt to shock the grown-ups, has, as usual, failed, because the rest of us are grown-ups. As Greg pointed out, whether Jesus said all the things attributed to him is immaterial, because someone said them, and their value is in what was said, not who said it. As for the resurrection - so you don't believe in it. Well, big deal - neither do the majority of the UK population probably, but most of them don't imagine that they are being daringly iconoclastic in not so believing. It would be nice, incidentally, if you occasionally offered evidence or arguments for your beliefs, rather than bald statements of the "I think this, I don't think that" variety.

The Power Of Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency involves the medium of digital transactions. By definition, this is a method of exchange that broadly incorporates the use of software, which is encrypted, so as to help in the operations of market transactions.

Bitcoin and the rise of cryptocurrencies
The first cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, which can be traced back to 2009, when it first started
to operating officially. The market of transactions is plainly seen by the network users and they are based on some rules that are coded into specific algorithms. Therefore, cryptocurrency involves a high use of cryptography, mainly for security purposes and for providing measures that help in controlling counterfeiting circumstances.
Further cryptocurrencies offer a flat currency system. This means that, for its operation, the users have to reach a given harmony about its value and then it can be used as an exchange medium. Consequently, this system is much more controlled and determined by the users rather than the currency's management.
A Free Market
Because it does not have a connection or tie with any given country, the central bank does
not have control over its operations in or its value determination in anyway. For instance, in Bitcoin, the value is mostly determined by the demand and the supply in the market, meaning this exchange medium is golden and very precise when used for transactions.
This has made bitcoin the largest cryptocurrency when considered in terms of market volume, acceptance, and market capitalization, with some other mediums of currency exchange like Litecoin and Ripple coming behind.
Fast Banking
In terms of speed and harshness, cryptocurrency is considered as having a high computing power and it can mine numerous hashes in a second. Then, the hash created can be used in getting the original data out, thusly becoming more practicable to users everywhere.
In its operations, cryptocurrency enables various computer networks to sustain a collective book-keeping system through the cloud, or internet system, and the process is commonly referred to as a book-chain. This process is public and can be accessed by every user registered under a given cryptocurrency. The book-chain allows all transactions to be logged, including various details concerning participants, date, time and the amount recorded for every single transaction done.
As a result, the cryptocurrencies and the book-chain technology can be essential in handling money, payments and other credit awards activities, such as during elections.
Security Features
Moreover, the protocols for cryptocurrency enable individuals to automise their cash and monetary flows, as well as to make the whole currency act smarter than before (in terms of transaction medium exchange). Using Euros or Dollars as an example, when the individual uses cryptocurrencies, not everything is verified when paying for healthcare. Rather, some programmed rules are established to enable additional qualities, such as automatically refunding the provider in case the receiver does not make use of the funds given during the transaction.
Subsequently, the provider's allowances are kept intact and not hoarded away regardless of the situation or condition of the transaction. Does this make it more advantageous to use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin? Certainly, cryptocurrencies have moved transactions into a highly digital domain within the world of economics.
Are cryptocurrencies the future of money?
Due to their relatively small market size, virtual currencies have been notoriously unstable. It's obvious that as their market cap grows, so will the stability of digital currencies. When that happens, they can possibly become more stable than regular currencies.
Cryptocurrencies are designed to be inherently rare, and their inflation grows at a slow, controlled rate. This potentially gives them more stability than currencies where governments, central banks and financial institutions can simply "add a few zeros" to the end of their bank account as needed.
Cryptocurrencies are not designed to become a popular option, therefore they keep their inflation on a controlled and slow growth rate. It may make them more stable than all government controlled currencies where inflation is an actual problem because of irresponsible actions, like money reprints.
Digital currencies have already changed the financial world somehow, and that's just the beginning: they have the potential to do way more and bring changes which nobody expects. Bitcoin definitely stands out from all of them as it is the most recognizable option. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, there are lots of different innovative ideas that should not be underestimated or ignored.

What I liked about Discovery was the freedom and the campus. I liked the size of the classrooms, and how all the classrooms were put into teams.Im sure my parents enjoyed the parent involvement activities as much as I did. The book fairs was always something I looked forward to. Also the auction and the book bowl that happened at the end of the year. My favorite staff member would have to be the Librarian Mrs. Tillman. I would probably change the the names of the teams and get a better studio for the Disco Live. Overall my experience with Discovery was excellent.

College Access Plan College Access Plan
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
An independent coalition of teachers and professionals working towards equality in education, CAP is a California Nonprofit Corporation that, through mentoring and tutoring, empowers student access to the tools to gain acceptance to, financially fund, and educationally and personally excel at the college of their choice.
College Access Plan was founded in 2006 in Los Angeles, California by two teachers: one teaches community college and the other teaches high school. The students they see in class are largely separated only by the mere fact of age; demographically, they are the same students facing the same educational challenges from two sides of a tarnished coin, largely due to socioeconomic disadvantage. The decision to go to college as well as which college to attend and how to fund an education causes many students to choose the wrong school for their needs or not to attend college at all. These teachers imagined an organization that functions as personified caulk--a way to fill the chasms through which so many students slip unnoticed. College Access Plan was formed to address the issues of college preparedness and access on a local level with grassroots programs aimed at high school students who are underserved and at risk of falling into the abyss that traverses the leap from high school to college. At CAP, it's one-on-one attention that makes all the difference, and in our pilot year, we served over 200 students at John Muir High School in Pasadena with our program "tiers"--classroom workshops designed to fit teacher-driven curriculum, in-school tutoring, and, most recently, long term one-on-one mentorships. In 2007-2008, it is our goal to serve students in additional northeast Los Angeles and Pasadena schools College Access Plan is grassroots and community-based, tailoring each program to individual needs; our major goal is to assist students in creating their own college access plan.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many designs, statues, monuments, and structures in the U.S. Capitol that are of clear occult origin? Why is that? Why do we need an Egyptian obelisk (phallic sun worship – Isis/Osiris cult), and a huge reflection pool near the nation's House of Congress (womb). The same building that has an elaborate mural depicting the "Apotheosis" (becoming a god) of George Washington, surrounded by Greek gods! UNBELIEVABLE, but true!
The famous Statue of Liberty is also replete with occult significance. That torch (like the one Prometheus snatched from the gods) is supposed to enlighten us? We worship Liberty? None of that makes any sense to ANY of the world's major faiths. And Christianity?
Right now, there's a huge economic war over the use of the "petro-dollar"! Some say that it signaled the start of WWIII. What I mean is that the US banking cartel (the so called Federal Reserve) is struggling to continue their stranglehold of the global trade of oil transacted in U.S. dollars. Much intrigue there.
Let's take a brief look at that "dollar"- why all the occult symbols and references? The more you look, the more you find. Could it be that the God of this world wants his stamp and seal on everything?
Pastors often preach about spiritual things, at the expense of practical things like money! The OT warns us not to be slaves through debt. For example, every 7th year was a Jubilee year where, among other things, ALL debts were erased! Why? Because the borrower is slave to the lender: therefore, freedom, economic freedom is that important! We shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free – free from economic slavery too, if we know how to apply the Word to our lives.
The Watchmen have been largely asleep while all this has been constructed. America has been largely unfaithful to the Word of God. Our slavery will worsen until we line up with the central truths within Holy Scripture and repent of it! "…Forgive us our debts as WE forgive our debtors…" Repentance and forgiveness go hand in hand😀!
Many exciting movies like National Treasure, The DaVinci Code etc. include all the satanic symbolism, yet they offer no real solution. Very pedestrian. Unfortunately, when walking out into traffic, we have to look both ways, or we seriously risk being run over!
Test the spirits. Be informed. Watch over your heart as you renew your mind with the Scriptures! Do not put your head in the sand. Remember, you too are also marked with a sign and seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit! OCCUPY until He returns. That's an order!
Peace & Maranatha

Found something of interest, I noticed it during the use of UIScrollView. I was adding multiple UIImageView to scrollview dynamically, at some point later I was iterating through subviews of scrollview and doing some manipulation stuff. I was getting weird results. I printed a log for total count of scrollview's subviews, found that total count was two more extra than I was supposed to have. I was adding five UIImageView to UIScrollView and total count of subview array was 7. Going more deeper with log prints, found that those two extra views were UIImageView [sighs] I was wondering how was those two extra UIImageView getting added to UIScrollView?
I removed all subviews from UIScrollView before adding my other UIImageView/s. This trick worked just partially. There were no extra two UIImageView and I was not getting any weird result from my processing code. I was thinking if it was some bug with UIScrollView but I was so wrong. I looked more closer to the output and found that two scroll indicators (horizontal and vertical) are missing :P, then it struck me that those two extra UIImageView were actually indicators. I changed my processing/iteration code instead of just plainly removing all subviews. All was well in the end.
Happy Valentines Day 🙂

Alive in L.A., detox capital of the U.S. I'm talking about detoxing not from drugs and alcohol but from food. Cleansing here is a rite of passage, fueled by the fact that stars do it to drop weight fast. Yes, Philly has cheesesteaks, Chicago has deep-dish, and we have the Master Cleanse, an ostensibly purifying mix of water, lemons, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. But when I hear A-listers are now forgoing food for drinks delivered daily as part of the iZO Cleanse (izocleanze.com), I'm intrigued. I have habits no nutritionist would approve of: wake up, down a pot of coffee, skip breakfast, add mayo to everything, hit 7-Eleven often. I've got insomnia and five new pounds to show for it, so when my editor asked me to do diet rehab with iZO, I said yes, yes, yes.
The author with her daily regimen
THE DAY BEFORE I meet Tim Martin, iZO's founder, at his cheeky offices, a hot-pink former Hare Krishna temple. "IZO is a luxe, designer detox. We do everything for you and can adjust the program to your needs," Martin says. Fittingly, it's also as pricey as a new pair of Choos.
I decide on a five-day, preweekend improvement plan (starting at $150 per day). But I warn him that I've never mastered the Master Cleanse. "That's because it's depleting to the body. The sugar gives you just enough energy to get by on, but you can't thrive on it. It can lead to binges," he explains. He assures me iZO's organic produce will flood me with antioxidants and minerals as I detox.
That night, I get rid of my coffee and the food in my fridge so I'm not tempted.
DAY ONE 9:00 a.m.:
Wake in a sugar coma from last night's "last supper": Doritos, M&M'S, movie pop-corn, and cheesecake. Intense headache brews instead of coffee. I peruse the iZO cooler that was dropped outside my door at 6:00 A.M. It contains 11 mayonnaise-like jars of liquid. My goods: four green jars (a veggie blend of broccoli, algae, and more), four teas (Purify and Elevate), two white protein shakes, and one murky brown concoction. As instructed, I down the vial of mineral-rich marine plasma, which tastes suspiciously like seawater, and then use the first of my green drinks to wash down enzymes, parasite killers, and Liver Rescue. This will be the daily routine. Noon: Dying for my Starbucks Sumatra, I swig more fennely-tasting green juice straight from the jar. It's filling and hard to finish. 3:00 p.m.: Everything's too loud. I dream up ways to off the leaf blower outside. 4:00 p.m.: Drink herby-tasting tea, marveling that I'm not hungry. 6:00 p.m.: Savor the protein drink pureed almond milk, black beans, and black rice the best so far. 9:00 P.M.: My neighbor Mark calls for a chocolate-and-doughnuts run. "Didn't I tell you I'm cleansing?" I snap. I haven't left the house all day, and it's my first human contact. I choke down the salty brown stuff. 9:55 p.m.: Feel like a victim. Slap on toxin-removing foot pads. 10:00 p.m.: Deep sleep the best in ages. DAY TWO 10:00 A.M.: Help. I'm seriously bloated. 1:00 P.M.: Martin recommends a colonic. I shudder at the thought, partly because it requires getting off the couch. I nap instead. 6:00 p.m.: I call Daisy Fuentes for support. She lost five pounds in three days on iZO. "Three days was so easy. It helped me get healthy," she says. I wonder if it would be unprofessional to hang up on her. 7:00 p.m.: Drink Elevate tea and feel no such thing. 8:00 p.m.: I miss chewing. Chew (forbidden) gum for two hours.
JAESUNG LEE. MICHAEL KORS TOP, SCHMID'S OWN. FASHION EDITOR: JENNY RICKER; HAIR: RICHARD COLLINS; MAKEUP: KAYLEEN McADAMS. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE MONDRIAN HOTEL, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA
There's a new detox in Tinselt own, and you don't have to cheek into rehab to do it. Wendy Schmid TAKES A BREAK FROM FOOD and gets enlightened.
DAY THREE 11:00 a.m.: I'm cranky and tired, and I feel heavy. I book a colonic appointment. 4:00 P.M.: Colon hydrotherapist Leah Joiner j. gives me a flush. 7:00 P.M.: Feeling lighter, I go to the movies, but I fear my jar of white liquid makes me appear to be nursing a child I've misplaced.
DAY FOUR 11:00 A.M.: I commiserate with actress Patricia Heaton about iZO detoxo, the brown seaweed-and-mush-| room drink. "Pond water!" she cries. But it's her only complaint; she lost six pounds in 10 days. She also did fitness boot camp. I don't have energy for the gym, but I meet a friend for brunch. I stare at her coffee.
DAY FIVE Finally, I see the light. I'm centered. I have rosier skin. My insomnia is gone, my stomach is flat, and I'm relaxed. I drink my last jars of juice, thinking of the grilled-chicken salad I'll have tomorrow. I feel too healthy to consider junk food. Martin's farewell advice: "Continue eating as raw as possible salads, steamed vegetables and ease back into protein and grains. Try to avoid dairy and processed foods, and chew everything well." Oh, the irony.
THE DAY AFTER I've lost eight pounds and 3 percent body fat. I won't say I'll never have M&M'S again, and coffee is like a lover I can't quite forget but now I think one cup is enough.

House District 19 Special Election
On November 3, 2015 the citizens of Sanford can take part in a special election to select a representative to fill the House District 19 vacancy, which occurred when Rep. William Noon passed away last month. Republicans, Democrats and Green Independents have until August 28th to nominate candidates. Rep. Noon's wife, Jean Noon, has announced she hopes to be nominated to run as the Democrat to fill the seat.
Cyber-Security Importance Emphasized
Earlier this week U.S. Senator Angus King and the Maine State Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum to discuss cybercrime and cyber-security. Senator King, along with other professionals in the information technology world, including representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, offered recommendations on how to prevent cyber-attacks, which reportedly account for more than $445 billion in business losses annually. Senator King hopes there is a vote on a cyber-security bill in the fall.
Investments = Green Cards
In 1990 the U.S. Congress approved an investment program called EB-5 that would supply foreign investors with green cards if they invest $1 million, or $500,000 in areas of high unemployment, in projects that create jobs in this country. Governor LePage is considering implementing this program at the statewide level to encourage economic development in Maine.
Energy a Maine Priority
Governor LePage's administration is a proponent of expanding hydroelectric markets, though Maine currently has a limit on the size of hydroelectric plants that restricts the amount of hydropower eligible for renewable energy credits. It is anticipated that ventures such as the Northern Pass Project, which proposes to transfer energy from Canada throughout New England via a transmission cable, will gain attention from Maine energy companies as the bidding processes for building the transmission cable begin.
Bringing Rural Maine Online
Expanded internet service is coming to rural Maine thanks to FairPoint Communications and the federal Connect America Fund (CAF). FairPoint will receive $13.3 million annually from CAF for six years, which is the largest single CAF subsidy awarded. Many underserved, high-cost service areas in Maine will be eligible to receive expanded internet services, but there is no timeline or list of selected locations available yet.
Maine Attempts to Increase Number of Primary Care Physicians
Fifty years ago roughly half of physicians in our country practiced in primary care. Data from 2013 reports that now only 32 percent of doctors practice as primary care physicians (PCPs) and it is estimated that there will be a large PCP shortage by 2025. Nationally, new doctors are leaving medical school with more than $175,000 in debt from medical school alone and PCPs generally earn less than specialists, making primary care a more difficult career choice. Maine has two medical schools working to change this trend. The University of New England's College of Osteopathic Medicine was recently recognized for graduating doctors that often choose primary care practice; and the Tufts/MMC Maine Track program places students in clerkships in rural towns all over Maine and offers significant scholarship support, in hopes of encouraging and supporting a career choice in primary care.

Das Bunker, the long-running "industrial discotech," will end its weekly Friday-night run at its current Mid-City location next month, with a final party scheduled for Jan. 31.
The 17-year-old event will be sorely missed.
This is not, however, the end of Das Bunker...
Though they will no longer have shows at their current location, Jewel's Catch One, the party will still exist in other forms.
"Call it a reinvention," John Giovanazzi, who co-promotes the event, says. "Call it the next episode in the Das Bunker saga. However you want to phrase it, we're no longer confined to a three-room dance club with a very specific format on Friday night."
The event's history dates back to 1996, when Franck "H-Bomb" Huyghe launched Das Bunker in a Long Beach bar. "It was kind of like an extreme reaction to what was going on in Hollywood at the time...very mainstream and stuck in the past," Giovanazzi says. "Wax Trax favorites from the '80s were still staples of the play list. You still had the guitar heavy industrial of the early '90s sticking around.
In 2003, they made the move to Los Angeles, arriving at Jewel's Catch One. (Giovanazzi joined the crew that year.)
Over the years they've boasted ahead-of-their-time shows from acts like Youth Code, who is currently setting industrial fans abuzz (and made our top 10 L.A. albums this year). Having played Das Bunker not long after they formed, they're now set to open for AFI.
Then there was VNV Nation, who performed at Das Bunker twice on the same night for the club's 10th anniversary in 2006. Turns out that earlier that day, the fire marshal showed up and cut the upstairs capacity at the club in half. "We had a quick meeting with the band and were like, Okay, how do we do this?" Giovanazzi recalls. "The answer was to split the crowd in half and play two shows."
More recently, Grendel, from the Netherlands, played Das Bunker, the band's first U.S. show in years.
Over time, the resident DJs have changed, although the current crew — Amanda Jones, The Operative, and Trauma — has been around for a while. The crowd has evolved, too. Industrial kids don't look the same as they did in the '90s. Das Bunker's emphasis on new music has fueled the club for 17 years, an unusually long stint for a weekly dance night. Born in an age when club promotion involved lots of paper flier distribution, they've built up a healthy community online.
Giovanazzi won't say why the club is moving. (A call to Jewel's Catch One was not returned.) But they've already got some other events in motion. A Das Bunker show at Avalon on April 27 will feature Combichrist, Suicide Commando, Aesthetic Perfection, and Youth Code.
Das Bunker is also promoting God Module's appearance at Complex, the Glendale venue that Giovanazzi co-owns, in February.
As for its final few Friday nights, Jan. 17 will be a "2004 Flashback Night" featuring a performance from powernoise outfit W.A.S.T.E., in their original lineup. The final event will bring together past and present Das Bunker resident DJs, plus guest DJs Kaotik and Edwin Somnambulist.

Search Engine Optimisation March 23, 2010Posted by kiranrathod in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Search Engine Optimization
SEO is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Firms that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus while others take a more broad and general approach.
How Search Engine Operates?
Search engines have a short list of critical operations that allows them to provide relevant web results when searchers use their system to find information.
Crawling the Web:-Search engines run automated programs, called "bots" or "spiders" that use the hyperlink structure of the web to "crawl" the pages and documents that make up the World Wide Web. Estimates are that of the approximately 20 billion existing pages, search engines have crawled between 8 and 10 billion.
Indexing Documents:-Once a page has been crawled, it's contents can be "indexed" – stored in a giant database of documents that makes up a search engine's "index". This index needs to be tightly managed, so that requests which must search and sort billions of documents can be completed in fractions of a second.
Processing Queries:-When a request for information comes into the search engine (hundreds of millions do each day), the engine retrieves from its index all the document that match the query. A match is determined if the terms or phrase is found on the page in the manner specified by the user. For example, a search for car and driver magazine at Google returns 8.25 million results, but a search for the same phrase in quotes (" car and driver magazine") returns only 166 thousand results. In the first system, commonly called "Findall" mode, Google returned all documents which had the terms "car" "driver" and "magazine" (they ignore the term "and" because it's not useful to narrowing the results), while in the second search, only those pages with the exact phrase "car and driver magazine" were returned. Other advanced operators can change which results a search engine will consider a match for a given query.
Ranking Results :- Once the search engine has determined which results are a match for the query, the engine's algorithm (a mathematical equation commonly used for sorting) runs calculations on each of the results to determine which is most relevant to the given query. They sort these on the results pages in order from most relevant to least so that users can make a choice about which to select.
Although a search engine's operations are not particularly lengthy, systems like Google, Yahoo!, AskJeeves and MSN are among the most complex, processing-intensive computers in the world, managing millions of calculations each second and funneling demands for information to an enormous group of users.

Man did it feel good to be in the race zone again, that frame of mind, that focus, that determination and that feeling of pain that lets you know you are pushing your body to it's limits. Hair on the back of my neck is standing up from typing this.
It was a beautiful day for racing. Mostly sunny, not to humid at all and supposidly no rain. The course was in tip top shape and was set up like no other course we had raced at Stony before. Course was flagged on Thursday but why pre-ride , we have 12 hours to figure it out. We had all ridden/raced Stony a bunch of times so nothing would be new, just the sequence of two track and single track would be a little different. It great to see the team and howdy do's and hugs went around all morning during pre race staging. Jeff, Heather, Brian, Mike, Jerry, myself and guest rider Lillian Ruz from Team Treefort made up the squad for the day. Our star studded pit crew consisted of Kathy and Bloomer the Cat. Well Kathy did all the leg work but Bloomer kept busy taking inventory by sticking his head and sometimes entire body into everyone's bags.
7:55 came quick tho and Jerry, Heather and I all had to get to the line for the relay start at 8:00. Jeff was to start the solo a couple minutes after 8. I was at the line thinking to myself how long it had been since I was at the starting line....darn near a year since my last race. Lee from Team Sandbag looks over at me and says with a smile, "You sure you know what your doing? This isn't the freeride park." All I could do was laugh. This is why I like endurance racing, the starting lines are so stress free because we all know the race won't be decided in the first lap or the second, third, fourth....fifth......sixth.....well until later in the race when everyone starts to realize how much endurance they do or don't have.
Going into actual race detail would make this a very, very long blog so I'll just post results. What will say is that they cut the race short by 2 hours because of some huge storm that was coming to the park...however, it never rained so that kind of sucked.
Jeff - 1st place 12 Hour solo men's. He was 4 minutes ahead of his closest competitor. 13 laps in 10:59:45 for an estimated 136.5 miles ---> all by himself!!! And I'd like to point out he raced in the geared class on his single speed and beat them all. He even schooled the single speed class and the sub 30 year old 12 Hour geared racers.
Heather and Lillian took 3rd racing against the boys in the 2 person Advanced 12 hour class. They ticked the counter 11 times in 10:36:35 for close to 115.5 miles. Not bad for a couple of Chica's. : )
Brian and Jerry took 3rd in Men's 2 person 12 Hour Sport knocking down 11 laps in 11:15:54.
Mike and I took the win in Men's 2 person 12 Hour Sport throwing down 12 laps in 10:31:59
Now for some accolades:
KATHY!!! - We couldn't have done this without you. From the coffee run for Jeff, the sacrificing of chicken for the team and the general info you gave on everyone thru the laps, you were a huge help. I know your info on Mike made a huge difference in the outcome of the day for him and I. Without your input Mike and I may have not made it thru the day. After talking to you we were able to adjust our strategy and move forward. Having a level headed person not racing in the staging area is very valuable. And the chicken...sorry Scott, your burgers are great and all but Kathy just got promoted to the team's head chef. You now work for her.
Jeff - You are not human....and I am not the only one who thinks this. I've heard this from others outside our team. Being the team's PR rep I hear a lot and you are always a popular name when people start talking about endurance racing. When yo go big remember who gave you that Snickers bar.
Heather - I expect nothing less out of you than what you gave Saturday. Sounds like tough love and it is. I could sit here and write all kinds of good things about you but you'd just knock me over, kick me and tell me I should be on my bike training instead of writing these silly team updates.
Lillian - Was great to have you out with us for the day. Of course we are all going to razz you and try and get you to race for us but it was all in fun. I loved the idea of collaborating with another team to get us more press. I hope Bloomer enjoyed himself and props to you for holding off Brain's chase on that one loop. He's not an easy guy to shake. Now you can go back and tell your team and friends how much fun you had and that not only can we ride our bikes but we also look good doing it. : )
Sensei Brian - I've said it many times before and I hate repeating myself but, well, you are Brian McCabe. You show up, throw down some solid laps and drink a beer at the end of the day like it was another day in the office. You come in, do your job and hammer out results. You joke around when it's time to have fun but out on the course you are all business. Great job out there.
Mike - I can honestly say that I am proud of how you kept it together out there. You did a great job going the distance and to me this is the best race you have ever ridden. I know your salt intake changes helped a lot but I man you were solid out there. You were actually getting stronger later in the day when I thought you would start to wear out a bit. I fed off your energy big time and it helped motivate me to match your laps and keep our team going. Looking forward to us doing more of these in the future.
J e r r y - I spaced that out on purpose. Bro, I think all the above mentioned would agree that you were the team MVP for the day. As captain you led by example. You never gave up and you pushed yourself past your limits for the team. I was very impressed when I came in after my last lap and found out you went out for another. Over all these years you have done a lot for the team, more than any of us. But that last lap you did, to me, was probably one of the biggest things yet.
I know I am sounding a little sappier than normal and maybe some of you were expecting my normal sarcastic twisted humor. But when Saturday was all done and over I think everyone on the team became a different person. All of us had reached a level of ourselves we had never been to before. When we were all sippin' a brew after I could see it in every one's faces.....we were all one step closer to becoming as bad ass as Dawn "U-Dog" Nicholas.

Chillerama Comedy Horror
Film Review 25 -- ChilleramaMonday, January 23, 2012Zena Horror
Chillerama was officially released September 16th, 2011. It's an anthology film, which was directed by Adam Rifkin, Joe Lynch, Tim Sullivan and Adam Green. It's an awesome film that celebrates and embraces the golden age of B rated horror! It also goes through four decades of cinema with something outrageously awful for everyone!
I enjoyed Chillerama because I love cheesy horrors, and because of that, I give it 4 out of 5 queen skulls!
