text: Typing Test twice, once with Voice Recognition September 29, '07 Comments [13] Posted in Musings Sponsored By People give voice recognition a bad name. I use it all the time. I took the typing test that Daniel Moth blogged about (typing test is here) typing the way I usually do. I can't type as fast as I could as my hands are a little rough, but I do OK for old hands. Here's my results, first try, on a Natural (split) Keyboard: YOUR RESULTS ARE: Number of words typed: 217Test duration: 3 minSpeed: 72.6 words/min. (363 keystrokes/min.)Error penalty: 27Accuracy: 87.6% Meh. I used to do 100, no longer. (Plus, it's a cheesy test because you have to read, manage the scrolling and spit it back out again on the keyboards. I got flummoxed with the scrolling. And I'm notoriously sloppy. Here's the SAME test but using Vista Voice Recognition and a cheapo Logitech USB Headset Microphone (I didn't even use my $300 podcast microphone): YOUR RESULTS ARE: Number of words typed: 377Test duration: 3 minSpeed: 125.6 words/min. (628 keystrokes/min.)Error penalty: 42Accuracy: 88.9% Note the number of errors. I know it's not 98% like some people, but I can almost double my personal typing speed with comparable errors using Voice Recognition. Note that I only took these tests once each, both times cold, one with hands, one with voice and the test gave me different text each time. You have to talk like a newscaster, but seriously, stop giving Voice Recognition a hard time. Videos of Voice Recognition trying to write Perl code are cutesy, but not reality. Yes, it'd be nice to have custom templates out there for writing code with voice (there are some) but CodeRush helps me greatly. Ultimately voice recognition is for things like blogs, email and prose. Here's a VERY boring, very poor sound/visual quickie video of me actually taking the test. Note that I (gratuitously) stopped to correct two errors, using only voice in the middle. Otherwise I'd probably have gotten 140wpm. Sorry about the poor focus, I probably should have used Camtasia. And yes, this blog post was written with voice recognition. So phooey on you. I encourage you to give it a try with a nice microphone, if even only for email and blog posts.

In February 1984, Lou Gorman took over as Red Sox General Manager and inherited a gifted young pitching staff that was starting to blossom. Also over the offseason, as the new plastic bleacher seats were installed in center-field, the Red Sox installed one red seat back to commemorate the location of the longest home run ever hit at Fenway Park, a 502-foot blast by Ted Williams on June 9, 1946. On May 28, 1984, the club also retired Williams' #9 and Joe Cronin's #4. The numbers of the two legends were the first to be retired by the Red Sox and were placed on façade of the right-field roof. In July, the United State Olympic Baseball team visited Fenway Park to play an exhibition game.
Record: 86-76, 4th in American League East
Manager: Ralph G. Houk
Attendance: 1,661,618
Lou Gorman took over as general manager of the Red Sox on February 1, inheriting a skilled, homegrown pitching staff that included Bruce Hurst, Oil Can Boyd, Bob Ojeda and Al Nipper, all age 26 or younger. Added to the mix on May 15 was 21-year-old Roger Clemens, who was drafted by the Red Sox in 1983 and rocketed up through the minors.
The Red Sox played their first eight games of the 1984 season on the West Coast and were 5½ games out of first place by their home opener at Fenway Park. The Tigers raced to a 35-5 record and by May 24, Boston trailed Detroit by 16½ games.
A pair of popular Red Sox players departed in May. Suffering from knee injuries, Jerry Remy played his last game for the club on May 18. One week later, Dennis Eckersley was traded to the Cubs in exchange for Bill Buckner.
On May 28, the Red Sox officially retired Ted Williams' #9 and Joe Cronin's #4 and placed them on the façade of the right-field roof. They were the first numbers retired by the franchise.
Though the team couldn't keep pace with Detroit, the season was not devoid of exciting moments. On June 28, Dwight Evans completed the cycle by hitting a walk-off, three-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Tony Armas led the American League with 43 home runs, 123 RBIs, and 339 total bases. With only 32 bases on balls, Armas' his 11 more home runs than he received free passes and that differential remains the largest in history.
In 1984, Haywood Sullivan, commemorated a lone red seat amongst over 6,000 other green bleacher seats. The red seat (Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21) marked the location of the longest home run ever hit in Fenway Park, a 502-foot blast by Red Sox slugger Ted Williams on June 9, 1946.
In addition to recognizing Williams' historic feat, the Red Sox also honored his entire career when they officially retired his #9 along with Joe Cronin's #4 in a ceremony on May 28, 1984. The two legends' numbers were the first to be retired by the Red Sox and were placed on the façade of the right-field roof.
The 1984 United States Olympic Baseball team trounced a team of Park League All-Stars 17-2 at Fenway Park on July 6, 1984. The US team's roster included future MLB stars Will Clark, Barry Larkin, Mark McGwire and B.J. Surhoff, and would go on to lose in that summer's Gold Medal game to Japan's team.

A few years back, the editors of the psoriasis blog decided to give the blog a new name: The Itch to Beat Psoriasis. They saw in my blogging a passion to find ways to "beat" psoriasis — to never run from the challenge of living. To thrive with this chronic, severe skin disease. That's still my desire today after living with psoriasis for almost 35 years.
The same tenacity spills over to other aspects of my life. I've never wanted to just get by in school, work, family roles, or even hobbies. I want to give my best and progress as much as possible. Yet there are those times, when nobody is watching, that it's just really tough. Last week was one of those times.
Whenever my psoriasis decides to clear out for a few days I'm happy to accommodate. In the back of my mind, though, I know it won't last for long. That has been the pattern of my psoriasis for years — a clearing comes from a day at the beach, a new treatment, a trip overseas, or recently, a course of antibiotics. But sure enough, a few days later, the red dots break out and grow, connecting with others to form patches. This time around within a week the psoriasis returned worse than before.
I'm going to ask my dermatologist why she thinks I broke out so severely after taking the antibiotic for my ear infection. I haven't figured out that one yet. But I can report that the experience of my skin breaking out was as intense as I can remember. For about five days and four nights I felt like I was the itchiest person on earth. Even my eyelids became puffy and my eyes extremely itchy. Some of it I can blame on allergies, on eczema, and a heat wave. The rest? Psoriasis blossoming everywhere you can think of.
Each night I slept fitfully due to the itch. The itch to beat psoriasis became a simple fight to calm the itch. I have an arsenal of anti-itch weaponry that I've developed over the years, all of which I needed to deploy this time. Some of these might work for you, too, others not so much. First is the cold shower. Since it's still hot here in Los Angeles I could take cold showers morning and night. Second, I make sure I use lots of moisturizers on my skin. I first apply an over the counter mineral and oatmeal oil at the end of my shower and then Eucerin Original Healing Crème or Aquaphor after drying off. Third, I abstain from any allergy-inducing food such as nuts, chocolate, spicy foods, etc. I become extremely reactive to anything I'm allergic to when I'm that itchy.
Fourth, I use hydrocortisone on those areas that are particularly itchy. One night my thighs just burned with itch. Some hydrocortisone helped on those hot spots. Fifth, I hydrate to flush my system with drinking water. Sixth, I take an antihistamine such as Benadryl. I try to avoid these if I can because of side effects, but if I need them they are there. Finally, I do anything I can to relax and calm down. It's not that easy to stay calm when there are fires to put out on my skin, but calming the nerves helps calm the urge to scratch. I take walks, back off from work, watch my favorite TV shows, drink herbal teas, read, or pray.
After those five days passed the itch calmed. I continue to have small breakouts on a finger, on an upper arm, or hairline so the itch isn't completely gone. But the widespread conflagration on my skin no longer plagues me. Sometimes just beating back the itch is a big victory.
I'm looking forward to seeing my dermatologist next week, marking my 16th week on Stelara and my third injection. The itch to beat psoriasis now resumes in earnest.
Do you experience itchiness with your psoriasis? What works for you to manage it?

" A local dealer well stocked with new and old cars as well as parts. I'm a local repair shop and most of the parts we need are usually in stock or quickly ordered and delivered in a timely matter. We're happy with their services and recommend it. The facility is nice and clean and the customer service & parts area has coffee, water and crash baked cookies 👌 "
MDX Purchase
" I recently worked with Daniel Harrison at McGrath - great experience. We saw the car online, called to inquire, a visit later it was mine! Daniel is very knowledgeable about all the features of the MDX I purchased. Very informative, no pressure sales pitch either. He answered all my questions and was very easy to work with. We purchased on a Sat, so there was a small wait for financing but once inside the office it was so quick! He had all the documents ready and off we went. I would highly recommend working with Daniel. "

" As we all know car buying can be a tedious process when dealing with dealerships that claim their know how but fail at execution. My experience with McGrath Acura of Morton Grove was completely different and I was in and out with a car within ONE HOUR! Let me tell you that my previous car deal lasted 6 hours in the dealership! Every person down the line from sales consultant Daniel H (went above and beyond) to the sales manager Elson Y and finance manager Ronnie A was a pleasure to deal with. Everyone was professional and handled their role with know how. Whoever runs the training program across McGrath should get an award for customer service and training! Overall this experience was amazing and I am now a life long customer! "
" We enjoyed working with Dan Harrison. I was impressed he came in on his day off to finish our deal. I would recommend him to others interesting in learning more about an Acura. "
" We just purchased a car from here and we are very satisfied. Big shot out to Santiago for going above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Great attitude and not pushy but wanted us to be certain on our purchase. Definitely would recommend this dealer and Santiago to anyone looking to buy a car. Thanks guys! "
Great Experience
" I came from out of state to look at a used car and didn't really expect much, but from the first inquiry off the website, McGrath stayed in contact and kept communications crystal clear. The car was clean and prepped and ready for me to check even though there was a winter storm in progress. Daniel Harrison was my sales person and he performed like a pro. He was friendly, informative and knew the answers to all my questions. From sales to finance to the guys who prepped the car,the whole team at McGrath made my purchase very comfortable and easy. "
" I have an aversion to car dealerships, but this review is specifically for the service department here at McGrath Acura in Morton Grove. I have an Acura MDX that I didn't buy from them, yet because it's a luxury car, I'd prefer to take it to the dealership for major work and repairs rather than using aftermarket parts and going to other places. Yesterday, after only having her for a month, my vehicle wouldn't start and I was distraught. Since I work downtown, I had the choice of towing it to the Acura dealership near my office, or to this one in Morton Grove, which is closer to my home. I decided to try this one, so I called but got voicemail of Bob Sisk, who's the Service Director. I thought that was odd that I got him directly, yet I left a message and he called me back within 30 minutes. I described the problem and Bob told me what it could be. He said to tow it there and they would diagnose and get back to me soon. They absolutely did...much quicker than I expected. First I got a text, then my assigned service advisor was Andrew, who called and explained what was wrong...and what it would cost me. The price was much better than I was imagining from a dealership. Not much for labor at all! Andrew told me they would let me know when she was ready. Later in the day I got another text and a call from Andrew. He answered the questions I had about future servicing and met me when I arrived to get my car. They washed and vacuumed her and the porter even turned on the heat and seat warmers for me since today of all days the temperature decided to finally drop. Andrew walked me to the cashier and I was even offered coffee as I went to pay my bill. I was out in minutes and couldn't be happier. No issues at all. (They did mess up the date and time on my dash but I will read the book.) McGrath of Morton Grove has gained a customer! "
" OMG, we walked in the door and were immediately greeted by Jasmin! What a wonderful young woman who loves people and is engaging, warm, and friendly! After detailed explanations, patiently addressing our concerns and test driving this incredible car, we received the numbers from Elson, the Sales Manager! What a wonderful man. He, too, was warm, friendly, considerate, and respectful. We have never met a Sales Manager with those attributes. We have been to several car dealerships in the past couple of days and I would not say that they had a personality. Elson, is McGrath's angel and Jasmin is right next to him! My husband and I were treated like family. Aimee, the finance person was also warm and friendly. McGrath Acura in Morton Grove is the very Best! We LOVE our new car and our new friends at McGrath!!!!!!!!!!!! "
" Great customer service and was very patient with my particular circumstances. "
" I brought my non Acura car here for service bc it was McGrath and I purchased my preowned car at another McGrath location. They were so incredible, Andrew who helped me was beyond helpful and kind. They inspected the car, looked up my warranty and cleaned it. They were happy to help. I will definitely be returning. "
" Santiago was very friendly, he wasn't pushy like most car sales men. We were able look at the car we came in for decided if we wanted or not, he was very respectful and he is bilingual so that helped a lot. "
" My new car is from Acura "
" My purchase was not stressful at all. Got a new MDX. Jasmin in sales was great, so was Michelle in finance. Jasmin worked late with us to get exactly what we wanted. "
" Excellent! Made a special exception for me. New management. My second car here. Love my saleswoman, and Ron in service. Give them a chance. "
Santiago & Jasmin both helped us buy our first Acura....
" Santiago & Jasmin both helped us buy our first Acura. They made the whole process smooth and comfortable. It's nice to have someone listen to your needs and deliver. We will be forever grateful. "
" Great customer couldn't ask for anything better than the service I received. Spoke with Rashad got me in the same day and introduced me to Arbi who was better than great! "
Thank you you once again McGrath Acura - Westmont
" Patrick O'Day is the backbone of McGrath Acura - Westmont. Patrick is a true treasure - a throwback to serious salesmen of my parents' generation. Patrick does everything humanly possible to make the deal happen and is honest with you if he can't. Patrick knows all the incentives out there and isn't afraid to use them to make the deal happen. In addition to Patrick, the support staff, which included Henry Rose (Deliver Specialist) and Wally Sanham (Finance Manager) were courteous, upfront and attentive throughout the whole car buying process. All of the staff exhibited exceptional courtesy and product knowledge, which was impressive. My overall impression of McGrath Acura - Westmont was 'impressive'. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for professionalism, courtesy and a great deal. I can't imagine finding a dealer that will treat me better than McGrath Acura - Westmont and I'm just not limiting my comparison to only Acura dealers. Thank you once again to the McGrath Acura - Westmont staff. You guys truly are the best! "

Our salesperson was Daniel Harrison and let me tell you...he was awesome! Very honest and transparent when we were working with him. Not pushy at all and actually legitimate conversations with us. Dan is a genuine good guy and someone that I would highly recommend to work with for all of your future car needs.

Facebook unveils Android Home screen and app family
- 04 April, 2013 18:37
No, Facebook is not building its own smartphone.
The company shot down speculation yet again today that it has a phone under wraps. Instead, the social network unveiled a home screen, along with a family of apps, for Android phones.
"There is no phone," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook co-founder and CEO, taking on the latest rash of rumors at the company's announcement today. "We are going to talk about how you're going to be able to turn your Android phone into a great, simple social device."
The Facebook-focused home screen, which will arrive first for smartphones and later on for tablets, has been dubbed Facebook Home. The launcher is designed to work with the apps you already have on your phone, along with Facebook's new line of apps.
Home isn't an operating system. It sits on top of the Android operating system, essentially as a user interface (UI) wrapper.
It's scheduled to be available as a free download from the Google Play Store starting April 12.
"Everyone has their phones with them all the time and they just want to know what is going on, no matter where they are," said Zuckerberg, noting that people generally look at their phone's home screen about 100 times a day. "It's just about saying connected with what's going on in your world.... The home screen is really the soul of your phone."
Home is designed to bring you directly into your social network with a feature called Cover Feed, which replaces s phone's traditional lock screen and home screen. It means the first thing you look at when you pick up your phone is giving you information about what your friends are doing, a family birthday party or your favorite sports team's big win.
Chat Heads is a new app that lets you chat with friends even while you're doing other things in your phone.
You could be listening to music or writing an email, and your friend's face will pop up on the screen if he or she is trying to reach you. Chat Heads will offer access to text and Facebook messages.
According to Facebook, Home works on the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung GALAXY S III and the Samsung GALAXY Note II. Home also will work on the upcoming HTC One and Samsung GALAXY S4.
HTC and AT&T are the first companies working together to deliver a phone with Home. The HTC First, which goes on sale April 12, is available for preorder from att.com.

Pater Noster
The convent is located at the site of the ruins of the Byzantine Eleona Basilica, which was built over a cave where according to tradition was the place where Jesus hid with his disciples and taught the "Our Father" (Pater Noster) prayer.
Luke 11: 2: "And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name".
Home > Sites > Jerusalem > Mt. Olives > Pater Noster (Carmelite) convent
* Entrance
* Interior
The convent, controlled by the Carmelite Cloistered Sisters, is located at the site of the ruins of the "Eleona" Basilica, built in the 4th C by Constantine. The Byzantine church was built over a cave where according to tradition was the place where Jesus hid with his disciples and taught the "Our Father" (Pater Noster) prayer, one of the most important prayers in Christianity. The Crusaders rebuilt part of the church, and a new convent was built in the 19th C.
An aerial view is seen below showing the location of the church (right off the center of the map) and other points of interest (such as the adjacent Ascension chapel, another traditional site). You can point on the purple points to navigate to the selected site.
Byzantine period - Basilica of Eleona
In the 4th C a church was commissioned and built by Constantine, in a site marked by Helena, mother of Constantine. It was one of the four churches constructed by the first Christian Roman emperor in the Holy Land. It was built at the site of Ascension, and was called the Basilica of Eleona (Mt Olives in Greek).
The magnificent structure was built in 3 levels on the slopes of Mount of Olives, with stairs connecting each level (Church, Atrium and the outside). The church was built on the highest level as a 30M x 18.6M basilica (a long rectangular hall with two rows of columns). Its apse was on the east side, facing the rising sun. The center level was an atrium, a colonnaded forecourt, about 25M long. The lowest level was in the west side - a portico (porch) based on 6 columns. Only its foundations were found during the excavations in the 19th C, including the crypt (cave) which was located under the eastern edge of the church.
Persian and Arab period - destruction
The church was destroyed by the Persians in May 614, after 21 days of siege on Jerusalem. Most of the Christian churches in Jerusalem were leveled; tens of thousands Christians butchered in the city, and more than a thousand Christians were butchered on Mount of Olives . In 638 the Arabs replaced the Persians as conquerors but the Church remained in ruins.
Some of the Byzantine remains can be seen in the back yard outside of the present court yard. In 1868, during the construction works, a 5th C mosaic floor of the Eleona Church was unearthed. The mosaic floor contained two Greek inscriptions: Psalms 121:8: "The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in" and Psalms 118:20: "This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.".
Crusaders period - Pater Noster
The Crusaders took the city in 1099 and reconstructed parts of the ruins. In 1152 a new small church was rebuilt by the Danish brothers from Jutland - Bishop Svein and Admiral Eskill Sveinsson. They were buried in the church and their tomb stones were recovered in 1869, and were embedded into the modern church.
The Crusaders church was renamed "Pater Noster", marking the site where Jesus taught his disciples the prayer. The Ascension site was relocated to the adjacent chapel, the Ascension chapel.
Arab and Mamlukes period - In Ruins
The Crusaders church was damaged after the Crusader defeat to Saladin forces in 1187. It was totally leveled in 1345 by the Mamlukes, who replaced the Arabs as rulers in Jerusalem during the years 1267-1480.
Late Ottoman period - Rebuild
After more than 500 years later the Christian and Jewish population was allowed to build new structures, and the city expanded outside the Ottoman walls. A Carmelite convent was established in 1872 in the land purchased earlier by the French Bossi Aurelia, Princess de la Tour d'Auvergne. The tomb of the princess (died 1889) is located here in a marble sarcophagus.
In 1874 the present church was built on the north side of the ruined church. A large monastery was also built adjacent to the church and grotto. In 1873 the church and convent were transferred to the management of the Catholic Carmelite Cloistered Sisters.
British Mandate - unfinished church
In 1920 a new church of the Sacred Heart was constructed over the Grotto, but its construction was stopped and only the base of the building and parts of its walls were completed.
Modern times
The convent, church and cave is open to the public. It is a recommended place to visit, and located near two other Christian sites - Ascension chapel and the Russian Ascension convent. The highlights of the site is the cave where Jesus taught his disciples on his last journey, and a large collection of ceramic tiles that are displayed on its walls, bearing the Luke 11:2-4 Pater Noster prayer written in over 70 languages.
The inner entrance to the convent is seen after entering the gate.

The portico hallway on the eastern side is seen below, with four of the ceramic tiles with the Pater Noster prayer inscription written in various languages.
The south hall, behind the church, is of similar design.
A view of the interior of the church is seen below.
Along the walls are ceramic tiles with the Luke 11:2-4 prayer verse.
A view of the back yard of the convent is seen below. The flag indicates the French connection. This was the site of the Byzantine church.
A section of the unfinished church is seen below (1920, The Sacred Heart church). On its walls are some of the 70+ ceramic tiles with the prayer passage of Luke 11, each written in a different language.
The stairs lead up to an unfinished church that started construction in 1920. It is located above the cave where according to tradition was where Jesus hid and taught the prayer.
The entrance to the cave on the eastern side is seen below, which was part of the 1920 unfinished church. The cave was the crypt of the Byzantine church ("Basilica Eleona"), which was one of the four churches that Constantine established in the 4th C.
The photo below shows a view of the cave, which partially collapsed.
A small praying corner is located on the north side of the cave. It was reconstructed inside the cave in 1927.
Within the cracks of the stones are dozens of notes written by the visitors.
Another (animated) view of the Grotto is seen below.
The western entrance to the cave is seen in the photo below.
Luke's version of the prayer was conducted on the slopes of Mount of Olives, where the convent is located:
"And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil".
One of the 70+ prayer ceramic tiles within the convent, with Luke 11:2-4 text
The Matthew version of the Pater Noster prayer is part of the sermon on the mount, which is in the Galilee (see mount of Beatitudes).
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen".
Luke identifies the place where Jesus stayed at night as Mount of Olives.
"And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives."

For Jason Bay, Friday's game against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre represented a homecoming of sorts. Bay, a native of Canada, was playing his first Major League game on his home country's soil.There was some debate over this, however.
Last night, I quoted a post from a Blue Jays game thread (linked by ish here) insulting Buffy for repeating that info:
Campbell: "This is Jason Bay's first big league game in Canada. Hard to believe since he was in the majors in 2004 when the Expos were still around. You have to trust the information the Red Sox give you."BR lists that series as being played "at Montreal"; Bay went 4-for-5, with two home runs and a double in the first game.
Do you, Jamie? You could do that, or you could also go to a series of tubes called "The Internets" and find that his first big league game in Canada was July 9, 2004 against the Expos.
Crack work, JC
However, upon further inspection, we learn that those games were played at Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Expos did not play all of their 2003 and 2004 home games in Montreal.
So it's true -- Jason Bay played his first major league game in his native country last night.

eyewearexpo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
The logo must have the words: Eyewear Expo
Classy, clean, trendy, a logo that looks well on an e-commerce page.
Eyewear Expo
Desired Color Scheme:
Unisex, clean, colors that work well with white background, we suggest no more than 2 colors
Desired Style:
Attractive, classy, trendy, professional, clean, quality
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Company: EyewearExpo.com will be a wholesale online store selling high quality, fashionable eyewear products on the internet. It is a very complete line of eyewear: mainly sunglasses, but also includes goggles, readers, clip ons, and eyewear accessories such as eyewear cords, cases, etc.. We have eyewear products for everyone: sports for men, fashionable styles for women, readers for elders, and even kid sunglasses.
Direction: We hope the logo will give customers the impression that our eyewear products are good quality, reliable, and stylish at the same time. We have the word "expo" in our company name as it suggests that we have a huge selection of eyewear to choose from. Well known company/brand to think of is Sunglass Hut and Rayban.
Ideas: One idea is to include a/some sunglass or eyeglass icon(s) integrated into the text "Eyewear Expo" or somewhere around the text. Remember that our sunglasses reflect the latest fashions so if you are going to include a sunglass icon please draw a stylish one and not old fashioned glasses with round, circle-shaped lens. Another idea is to have the logo help customers remember our name/website URL, so perhaps stress somehow (such as bolding or different colors) the two "E"s in Eyewear Expo. These are just ideas as we welcome your own creativity and originality! It is not necessary to follow these two ideas.
Colors: Try to stick to more unisex colors that do not lean towards one gender (for example- avoid colors such as pink). We suggest at most 2 colors. Preferably colors that would look good on a white background.Â

Every single one of us needs more traffic. Simply put, no matter if you have a local business site, a Shopify store, or affiliate offers, eyeballs bring in business.
No matter what the latest courses and plugins try to tell you, there is one secret to bringing in traffic:
Tell visitors what they want to hear What exactly does this mean? It's giving them content on topics they like.
- Trending topics / current events
- Jokes, memes, or other timeless and inspirational content
It's pretty simple, really. If you're running a site related to dogs, posting up news about a dog rescue will bring out lots of support. And we all know Grumpy Cat and Doug the Pug memes that get shared.
How to use viral traffic to get more visitors and more sales using Trending Traffic from Aaron M Spelling – AllSuperInfo
I haven't always shared good content with my lists, but as soon as I started I felt the difference in my wallet instantly. And the same logic applies to your sites.
How can you use this (common sense but underused) advice to your advantage?
- Browse the top sites daily, looking for interesting articles
- Grab the most shared/liked content because that's what users like
- Post it for your users
- And then ask them to Like/Share so you get extra bonus exposure
Seems like a lot of work, right?
Browsing through hundreds of posts a day isn't a grunt work task I really want to take on. (And I can't blame you!)
A good friend of mine Justin Anderson is a pioneer in getting tons of traffic through automated content curation, having launched a viral traffic product late last year. He's released an amazing innovation that made me laugh because I hadn't thought of it first.
His service Trending Traffic pulls in current events INCLUDING social signals.
In other words, his service hits both the trending and viral buttons at the same time! Not only does Trending Traffic scour the top news sites constantly every day, but it puts the posts at your fingertips to post on your blog on autopilot (or manually curated if you want to do it that way).
This type of content brings in both organic search traffic as well as the viral social sharing traffic. And even cooler, it doesn't require any software or plugins so there are none of those annoying compatibility problems. Just add your blog to the service and it does the rest for you.
===> Go sign up for Trending Traffic now <===
If you're tired of spending hours finding and making blog posts, only to find people don't care and don't share. This is the solution for you. Go give it a shot and I know you'll love it!
If you enjoyed our content, we'd really appreciate some "love" with a share or two.
And ... Don't forget to have fun!

Bearing designations
Metric bearings
The designations of metric tapered roller bearings follow one of the following principles:
- The series designations in accordance with ISO 355 consist of a digit and two letters. The digit represents the contact angle. The two letters represent the diameter and width series, respectively. This is followed by a three-digit bore diameter d [mm]. The basic designations of SKF tapered roller bearings start with the letter T, e.g. T2ED 045.
- Designations established prior to 1977 are based on the system shown under Basic designations, e.g. 32206 (table 1).
Metric bearings with the designation prefix J follow the ABMA designation system, which is used for inch bearings (→ ANSI/ABMA Std. 19.1).
Inch bearings
Inch tapered roller bearing designations are in accordance with ANSI/ABMA Std. 19.1.
Within a series:
roller and cage assemblies are equal but the inner and outer rings can have different sizes and designs
- any inner ring with roller and cage assembly (cone) can be assembled with any outer ring (cup)
- Cup and cone have individual designations and can be supplied separately (fig. 1).
- The designations of cups and cones, as well as the series, consist of a three- to six-digit number, which may be prefixed to characterize a bearing series from extra-light to extra-heavy.
- The complete bearing designation is an abbreviated combination of cone and cup designations. It consists of the cone designation followed by the complete or parts of the cup designation, separated by an oblique stroke (table 2).

Once the smell of freshly baked bread starts wafting through the house, there's nothing more agonising than having to wait to dig in. So designer Tal Zur has come up with an incredibly ingenius way to shave a few precious seconds off the wait for a freshly sliced loaf.
Her Hallah Handles concept is a simple silicone and ceramic creation that you wrap around a lump of dough before you place it in the oven. The materials used won't melt during the baking process, and once you pull the fresh loaf out of the oven all that's needed is a quick tug on the handles to quickly slice it up. It's dead easy, and it takes the knife out of the equation for clumsy cooks who are prone to accidentally slicing up their fingers as well. [Core77 via Notcot]

One way I've learned was use existing computer equipment (old pc's), install nics (2 ports needed), and various flavors of Linux. You in essense would turn a regular PC into a router/firewall. Now using another machine, you can use a free virtualization product of your choice. I've used Ubuntu on a laptop with VMware Server. On the laptop, I have various systems configured but due to CPU & Memory restraints, I would only turn up 3 VMs at a time.
I would started to volunteer or do co-op at companies like Cisco or IBM on they community projects.

Since June 2012, IUCN French National Committee has worked to help develop a Biodiversity Strategy for Mayotte. The process has involved the participation of numerous stakeholders and the organisation of several workshops to map out how the island's rich biodiversity can be better protected.
Like many small island states, Mayotte's terrestrial and marine environment are vulnerable to numerous pressures from pollution, habitat destruction, invasive alien species and the consequences of climate change. The island also has a high population density which has brought considerable development pressures on biodiversity.
In order to ensure that future development of the island can be decoupled from further loss of biodiversity, IUCN French Committee has worked over the past year to develop a Biodiversity Strategy for Mayotte. After an initial period of review, IUCN picked out some key issues to be considered as part of the strategy, including: the need for all future policy developments to consider the state of the island's biodiversity; the need to support biodiversity in key sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and tourism; the need for improved management tools such as protected areas; and the need for improving research and sharing of best practice.
Over the past year IUCN Committee has organised seven workshops and involved almost 100 different stakeholders in the development of the strategy, and in April this year a seminar was held to finalise the strategy and involve representatives from the island's government. The final product was welcomed by the Mayotte government, and IUCN Committee will work to ensure the strategy is adequately implemented and that funding mechanisms are in place to support small scale conservation projects.
By developing its Biodiversity Strategy, Mayotte has become a pilot for French overseas departments both in that it has brought an example for the implementation of the national French biodiversity strategy and in that it has translated France's international biodiversity commitments into practice.
Mayotte is also a good example for future voluntary schemes on biodiversity for Europe's overseas. The French Development Agency (AFD), one of the framework partner of IUCN at international level, is committed to supporting the EU BEST initiative and is contributing to financing IUCN actions to that end at European level as well as specifically in Mayotte. AFD has had a long lasting local presence in Mayotte, like in each French overseas territory. The cooperation on the BEST initiative is particularly timely since Mayotte is in the run to become a new European Outermost Region (January 2014).
Such actions as Mayotte's Biodiversity Strategy give a particular political signal to the European Institutions when it comes to supporting environmental actions in the EU overseas. They highlight the fact that, with Europe's overseas, the EU has key allies for preserving its own biodiversity and important components of global biodiversity hotspots.

Cellular Phone Policy and Procedures Purpose
This policy will simplify the cell phone program, and result in each user having both freedom of choice and personal responsibility for his or her cell phone plan. It will also enable Wesleyan to comply with IRS rules regarding the taxability of employee cell phones. The IRS considers cell phone allowances as a working condition fringe benefit, and not taxable, as long as there is substantial reason relating to the employer's business for providing the employee with a cell phone.
The university will not own cell phones for the use of individual employees except in limited situations that require specific equipment or similar technology to perform university functions (e.g. public safety, physical plant, etc.). As always, these cell phones are not intended for personal use.
Employees whose job duties include the frequent need for a cell phone may receive extra compensation, in the form of a cell phone allowance, to cover business-related costs. All other employees may submit infrequent business-related cell phone expenses for individual reimbursement.
Frequent Use of Cell Phones for Business Purposes
A. Establishment and Payment of Allowance
If a supervisor determines that a university employee's job duties include the frequent need for a cell phone, then the employee is eligible for an allowance to cover cell phone expenses. It may be requested using the Allowance Request Form. The request may be made any time during the fiscal year. This will be paid monthly via payroll from your department's account.
This allowance does not constitute an increase to base pay, and will not be included in the calculation of percentage increases to base pay due to annual raises, job upgrades, bonuses, benefits based on a percentage of salary, etc.
Supervisors and appropriate senior staff members must approve the cell phone allowance. The following guidelines identify a need for a cell phone and access to the cell phone allowance:
- Safety requirements indicate having cellular phone is an integral part of performing duties of job description.
- More than 50% of work is conducted in the field.
- Required to be contacted on a regular basis.
- Required to be on-call (24/7)
- Critical decision maker
Supervisors are responsible for an annual review of employee business-related cell-phone use, to determine if existing cell phone allowances should be continued as-is, changed, or discontinued. Please contact Nathan Peters if there are any changes to the allowance.
B. Determination of Dollar Amount of Allowance
The plan chosen should be the least expensive that proivdes adequate business related services. Determination of the dollar amount of the allowance is made at the department level by the supervisor, but must be within the guidelines and dollar limits established under this policy.
Monthly Payment
One-Time Phone*
450 Minutes
900 Minutes
Smart Phone Data
* The One-time phone purchase is based on a 2-year contract and is provided at time of new contract (documentation required). Allowance is only for the cost of the phone and not accessories (e.g. cases, Bluetooth, wire connections, etc.). Lost or broken phone will be the responsibility of the employee after initial purchase.
Wesleyan will pay only the agreed upon cell phone allowance even if monthly costs exceed the allowance. If the amount of the allowance subsidy needs to be changed because of documented business purposes, you will need to ask your supervisor to adjust the cell phone allowance and submit a new approved form.
The cell phone contract will be in the name of the Wesleyan faculty or staff member who will be solely responsible for all payments to the service provider. Only one cell phone allowance will be provided per faculty or staff member. The university reserves the right to remove a participant from this plan if there is insufficient budget in the designated fund to meet the cost of monthly allowances.
Wesleyan corporate cards or departmental accounts will no longer be allowed for monthly service cell phone fees or for related equipment purchases except in limited situations.
C. Use of Phone
Wesleyan does not accept any liability for claims, charges or disputes between the service provider and the faculty or staff member. Recipients of a cell phone allowance must notify Wesleyan of the cell phone number and must continue to maintain the cell phone while in receipt of the allowance.
Because the cell phone is owned personally by the employee, the employee may use the phone for both business and personal purposes, as needed. The employee may, at his or her own expense, add extra services or equipment features, as desired. If there are problems with service, the faculty or staff member will need to work directly with the carrier for resolution. ITS will continue to support smartphone users with email and calendar functionality.
Use of the phone in any manner contrary to local, state, or federal laws will constitute misuse, and will result in immediate termination of the cell phone allowance.
D. Fees for Contract Changes or Cancellations
If, prior to the end of the cell phone contract, a personal decision by the employee, or employee misconduct, or misuse of the phone, results in the need to end or change the cell phone contract, the employee will bear the cost of any fees associated with that change or cancellation.
If, prior to the end of the cell phone contract period, a departmental decision (unrelated to employee misconduct) results in the need to end or change the cell phone contract, the department will bear the cost of any fees associated with that change or cancellation. For example, the employee's supervisor has changed the employee's duties and the cell phone is no longer needed for business purposes. If the employee does not want to retain the current contract, change or cancellation fees will be reimbursed by the department.
II. Reimbursement for Business Calls on Personal Wireless Phone
If a university employee's job duties do not include the frequent need for a cell phone, the employee is not eligible for an allowance or a Wesleyan provided cell phone. Such employees may request reimbursement for the actual extra expenses of business cell phone calls. Reimbursement for per-minute "air time" charges is limited to the total overage charge shown on the invoice; expenses for minutes included in the plan will not be reimbursed. The individual should make personal payment to the provider, and then should submit a request for reimbursement.
If personal use typically exceeds business use on a wireless phone, the employee should provide his/her own phone and submit reimbursement requests for business calls. A copy of the wireless phone bill, detailing the individual calls to be reimbursed, needs to accompany the reimbursement request. Although most wireless carriers do not include detailed phone records in their monthly statements, the information is readily available on-line from most major providers. Reimbursement documentation should identify the business purpose.
Please submit the completed form to Nathan Peters, Room 400 North College. Contact Nathan Peters at x2833 or email@example.com if you have questions regarding the policy.

Using Technology to Improve the Quality of Your Medical Practice
B sadewo November 21st, 2010
Technology help simplify many aspects of our lives. One technology that you can use to enhance and improve the performance of your medical practice is the online appointment scheduler. Using the scheduler means providing your office with the necessary ammo to put you ahead of the competition. Read on to learn the many features of an online appointment scheduler and how it can help improve your bottom line.
Self-service booking
When you have an online doctor appointment scheduler in place, it allows patients to log in to the system and book the appointments themselves. They can simply choose a booking slot that is available and is the most convenient for them. In addition, they can also make changes to their appointments as easily as making them. Giving the patients the ability to do these things helps you avoid the dreaded patient no-shows.
Customizable question form
Doctors can create forms that the patients must answer when they book their appointments. The questions can range from essential patient information, such as their insurance detail, to specific question about the nature of their visit. The best thing about the feature is that it is highly customizable, which means different doctor can ask different questions.The finished form will be sent to both the patient and doctor. By asking these questions in advanced, doctors will be able to provide better medical advice.
Remind patients about their appointments
An online scheduler also comes with a feature that reminds patients about their appointments. The system can be set to remind patients by calling them — on their landline or mobile numbers, or send e-mail and text messages. This is a great feature that, again, can cut down patient no-shows significantly.
Streamline your medical office
By having the system in place, it allows you to streamline your medical office. Since everything is done electronically by the system, it means no longer must your receptionist write appointments down manually. Every appointment that is made on the system will be recorded and placed on a secured database that is HIPAA compliant. Things will run more effectively and efficiently.
To conclude, an online appointment scheduling system is one investment that you will not regret making.

(CNNMoney) — The Obama administration said Sunday it has expanded the team maintaining the Obamacare website amid widespread reports of glitches and errors that have prevented many from accessing and registering through the site.
A White House official told CNN President Barack Obama would speak publicly about the site's issues on Monday. He said in a recent interview with an Iowa television station the site has made "some significant progress but until it's 100%, I'm not going to be satisfied."
Despite those issues, an unsigned posting on Sunday from the Department of Health and Human Services said, "nearly half a million applications for coverage have been submitted from across the nation."
It did not indicate if those applications were only for the federal exchange, which covers 36 states. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia are running their own marketplaces. It also did not specify if applications completed by phone were included in the number.
CNN surveyed the 15 exchanges run independently of the federal government and found just over 257,000 people have nearly completed or completed an enrollment in those programs.
The administration has previously reported the total number of visitors to the site but resisted requests for enrollment numbers. It has said that data would be available next month.
Since the website debuted on Oct. 1, it has been taken offline several times for maintenance. For coverage to kick in on January 1, individuals must enroll by mid-December.
"Our team is bringing in some of the best and brightest from both inside and outside government to scrub in with the team and help improve HealthCare.gov," the online post read. "We're also putting in place tools and processes to aggressively monitor and identify parts of HealthCare.gov where individuals are encountering errors or having difficulty using the site, so we can prioritize and fix them."
The department said it is "proud of these quick improvements, but we know there's still more work to be done. We will continue to conduct regular maintenance nearly every night to improve the experience."

text: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 APTA Joins Initiative to Develop National Safe Patient Handling Standards Earlier this summer, APTA served on an expert panel as part of the American Nurses Association's (ANA) broad-based effort to develop national standards to guide hospitals and other health care facilities in their implementation of policies and equipment to safely lift and move patients. Ken Harwood, PT, PhD, CIE, represented APTA on the panel that included 26 specialists with expertise in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, ergonomics, architecture, health care systems, and other disciplines to create overarching standards for implementing safe patient handling programs and detailed guidelines for making them work effectively in practice. The Safe Patient Handling National Standards Working Group plans to distribute the standards and guidelines to their professional memberships for comment in October, with publication and release set for March 2013. The panel is seeking to build a consensus of evidence-based best practices in safe patient handling that will apply to multiple health care professions and settings. The panel's goal is to develop language that can be incorporated nationwide into practices, policies, procedures, and regulations and become the basis for resource toolkits and certifications. Currently, there are no broadly recognized government or private industry national standards for safe patient handling. Health care facility programs lack consistency, as do regulations in 10 states that have enacted safe patient handling laws. In the meantime, health care professionals continue getting injured, and musculoskeletal injury remains a top concern, says ANA. Comments I am A Physical therapist Assistant practicing for the past 18 yrs. I applaud the APTA for there efforts in the area of SPH&M. I have been very interested and studying and trying concepts to incorporate along with Algorithms into practice,for the Past 8years and it is nice to see we are making some headway. Is there a representative in the State of PA who I can contact to see if I could be any assistance with this area Thanks Joe Shay PTA Posted by Joseph E Shay on 8/29/2012 9:26 PM We are currently in the early process of implementing some new color coded mobility and safe patient handling protocols that will be part of the nursing assessments on each shift. There is a genuine enthusiasm and consensus support among the rehab and nursing staffs alike on the need for uniform approach to mobility and safe patient handling. Better outcomes, optimal lengths of stay, less employee injuries, less risk to the patient and more frequent and purposeful mobility are just a few of the benefits of Safe Patient Handling. Posted by Anthony Salafia on 8/31/2012 3:50 PM Better late than never! Other countries (e.g. UK, with its NHS) have developed & been implementing these for many years, now. Posted by Charles Costello on 8/31/2012 3:56 PM I have been involved in safe patenit movement for over 15 years. Motivating businesses to implement a SPM program starting with the purchase of lifts and recognizing employee hazards when trasferring. One of the initial hazards to implementation was the therapeutic methods from the therapist and the "need to get her done" methods of the care givers. Care givers have a different set of skills and needs to move a patient /resident. Posted by Beth Stowell on 9/10/2012 8:56 AM Have there been any studies published on this? Posted by Kate Jamis on 6/26/2015 5:40 PM I would like to know if there is anything I can do I was injured at work lifting a patient in an Olaf facility where we have several patients who have to be lifted I requested to buy gait belt and a back brace for myself boss refuse to allow me to buy that said we were not allowed to have that in our facility because we were in no lift facility no employees have been through training to lift any residents of the facility and we also do not have any lift equipment such as a Hoyer lift. I was injured May 1st of 2018 I seen several doctors surgeons and done physical therapy. When told I could be released to go back to work on a no lift restriction the owner refused to allow me to come back to work because he said he had no position available for me that required no lift Posted by Renee on 1/25/2019 2:27 PM

Access to Land Resources under Customary Arrangement: Emerging Issues among the Bassaris of North-Eastern Ghana
This study examined how land resources are shared and used as well as the emerging issues from the perspective of customary rules, norms and practices in Bassari communities of northern Ghana. A qualitative survey was undertaken in four Bassari communities in north- eastern Ghana. The results revealed that though communal rights exist in Bassari communities, individualisation of communal resources is increasingly becoming dominant and consequently narrowing the scope of communal rights. This is attributable to changing social values and customs, increasing population, diminishing land resources as well as monetisation and economic incentives. Again the traditional role and powers of the land priest (Otindaan) with respect to resources access, allocation and ownership are now merely symbolic. The movement towards private holding of communal resources requires the existence of effective rules and strong customary system of enforcement over private rights and at the same time create access channels for the vulnerable groups.

GOOPy for Stella
It was so hard for Gwyneth Paltrow to tear herself away from her children today, because she's such a devoted mother, but she's also a devoted friend. Which is why she hopped on the Eurostar to Paris to support Stella McCartney who is showing at Fashion Week today.
G and Stella, of course, are BFFs. And it doesn't hurt that Stella's dad Paul came too. He's like a well known musician or something. This is Gwyneth's crowd. It's why she doesn't care that you hate her. Paul arrived with his lady Nancy Shevell, a much more popular choice than last time. G and Stella both approve.
And where was Gwyneth seated?
Oh please.
Is there any question?
G was sandwiched between Paul McCartney and Charlotte Rampling.
Love GOOPy's jacket. SO MUCH. And the pairing with a pocket tee. But those mom jeans are too short. Unflattering too.
