Aged domains can be great investment. You can find domain name with thousands of backlinks, with good history and Google Pagerank and to buy it... for 10-20 US dollars.
Why buy aged domain names?
If you want to rank other domain(s) for certain keywords.
If you want to build your own blog network on some topic (keywords).
If you want to buy for cents work for thosands dollars.
How to buy an aged domain, where to buy aged domain names?
1. Our list with hand-picked aged domains for sale - cheap prices!
2. You can search and buy aged domains on these great auctions (there are many more sites, these two are the biggest two):
- GoDaddy Domain Auctions: https://auctions.godaddy.com.
- Expired Domains Auctions at Dynadot: https://www.dynadot.com/market/auction/.
So, how much aged domain cost?
First of all it's important to know that there's no way to know what's the domain cost! The estimation is subjective. The domain costs as much as the buyer is ready to pay for it!
This lesson - a guide for domain purchase will clarify for you what to check when you're buying domains, which are the domain's most important parameters and where there are risks, when you're buying an old domain name or when you're buying and expired domain - dropped domain.
When I want to buy an old domain or droppen domain, I usually check it a lot, just to be sure that the purchase is worth it and that I won't lose money.
What do we have to check, which are the most important parameters defining the domain's cost?
1. The domain's name. Is short and easy to remember, are there the keywords which we're interested in?
2. Google PageRank (at the moment of check), the domain's age and history. Is it indexed at the moment and is it used for bad purposes?
3. Domain's popularity.
4. SEO optimization - does the domain have link building, if so, how many, from what kinds of sites and for what keywords?
5. Domain's ranking in Google (at the moment). For which keywords is it rank and which positions is it ranked at.
6. Subjective factors. Do you like the name and how much are we ready to pay for it?
"Domain name quality checker" and "domain name popularity checker"? How do we check domains at 3D web Design?
Domain's quick check. Is it worth to check it in details?
1. The most expensive for one domain is the name factor: is the name attractive, do we even like it or not. If I don't like the name or I think that it doesn't correspond to the topic I'm looking for, I don't look at it at all. Because the detailed check of domain's all parameters takes about 30-60 minutes. And we all know that time is money.
2. The second most expensive thing of one domain is its popularity and does it make money (or can it bring us profit in the future). The popularity is due mostly the links to the domain, ie SEO optimization is crucial! And since the link building is one of the most expensive things, that's one of the most important parameter for the domain.
First of all we're checking the domains with a paid SEO tool Marker Samirai - there you can see at a glance Google PR, if the domain is registered in Dmoz and in Yahoo directory, domain's age, backlinks and their quality - are the links strong. Market Samirai is the best tool for keyword research, to check the competition and domains' links. It's integrated with MajesticSeo.
Market Samurai is paid software, but it's the best one at the moment, therefore I highly recommend you to buy it if you're professionally interested in web, SEO optimization and domains. Instead, you can use the free software Netpeak Checker: netpeak.us/soft/netpeak-checker/
A good idea is to check at least two domain's URLs, with www and wthout www:
It's mandatory to take a look at Fresh indicators, and Historical:
After that I open http://www.urlvoid.com to see if the domain has been used for bad purposes and what is its reputation. Link for quick check: (in the links below you can replace "3dwebdesign.org" with the domain name you're looking at)
We see the following:
Analysis Date: 4 months ago - when was the last time the domain has been checked. You can refresh it from the button Update Report.
Safety Reputation: 0/29 - is the domain safe. The number zero means that the domain isn't present at neither one of the bad list and spam lists from the 29 lists of urlvoid.com.
Domain 1st Registered: 2007-09-03 (7 years ago) - when was the domain registered for the firtst time - you can calculate how old is it.
Server Location: (BG) Bulgaria - where's site hosted, where's the server.
Google Page Rank: 4
Alexa Traffic Rank: 135,572
By clicking every of the 29 links in Safety Scan, the corresponding site will open, where you'll be able to see details. If the domain doesn't lit in red in neither of them (0/29), there's no point to open them one by one.
2. Check is the domain is indexed in Google and what's the number of indexed pages: The link is:
2.1 If the domain is old, but it's NOT indexed, its purchese is too risky, because Google usually undo the indexing of domains with gross violations of their rights. Keep in mind that it's still possible that the domain to be safe, but not to be indexed at the moment - it happens with domains, which haven't been active for a long time.
2.2 It's a good idea to check also does the domain rank at pirst place in Google for its own name:
2.3 And also the information about it:
If there you see another domain, that means that the domain has been redirected (redirect 301) to the other and it's possible its PageRank to be unreal.
2.4 Domain;s history, for what has it been used in the past (use can even its old texts and pages and to upload them again), you check that with web.archive.org. Example:
2.5 Google PageRank check:
Google PageRank is a good indicator for the domain's quality, was it popular, are there links to it. You can check the domain's PageRank with tools, such as Market Samurai or to check the domain's reputations, usually I use (Website Reputation) - urlvoid.com.
3. Popularity check. You can check the domain's popularity:
3.1 Check at Alexa (it's shown at the urlvoid.com, so you don't have to open Alexa at all, unless you're interested in the detailed statistics by countries there).
The link to site's information at Alexa looks like that:
3.2 Domain's Google results check:
If there're lots of shares of the domain's name at other sites, that's an indicator that this name is popular.
4. SEO optimization check, of links pointing to your domain at Majesticseo:
Don't forget to check the Fresh indicators along with Historic Index:
Also page called Pages to find the domain's strongest pages in the past:
5. What profit can brings us the domain purchase?
5.1 For what keywords is the domaind ranked, from where is its trafic? To check the keywords for what the domain is ranked at the moment, use SemRush (SemRush.com). For Bulgarian and Russian sites use THIS SEO TOOL.
You can use this URL to check for what is ranked the site in Google.bg:
The URL for English sites is at semrush.com. Example:
5.2. Can we upload ads to this domain after we've bought it and to upload content? You can check it with a Free tool for Check for banned from AdSense domains: AdSense Ban check.
So, now you know how to check domains and what to draw attention, go for it!
We hope that this guide for Domain purchase, and the steps what and how to check, will be useful!

E-commerce is a transaction of buying or selling online. Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one part of the transaction's life cycle although it may also use other technologies such as e-mail. Typical e-commerce transactions include the purchase of online books (such as Amazon) and music purchases (music download in the form of digital distribution such as iTunes Store), and to a less extent, customized/personalized online liquor store inventory services. There are three areas of e-commerce: online retail, electric markets, and online auctions. E-commerce is supported by electronic business.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are looking for an alleged serial rapist who they say is wanted for several attacks in Brooklyn.
There have been at least three attacks this month, police said. In each attack, the suspect strikes up a conversation with his victim, lures her to an isolated area and then rapes her, police said.
The first incident happened around 9 p.m. on April 4 in the area of Albany Avenue and Fenimore Street. Police said the suspect lured a 25-year-old woman to a parking lot where he raped her.
The second happened on April 11 around 8 a.m. In that incident, police said he attacked a 19-year-old woman in the driveway of a private home near Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road.
The third happened later that day just after 8 p.m. In that incident, police said he raped a 15-year-old girl on the sixth floor of a building near Midwood Street and Schenectady Avenue.
Police said just before the third attack, the suspect and another man were seen on surveillance video next to the B12 bus stop at the intersection of Albany Avenue and Rutland Road.
Watch the video below:
The suspect is described as a black male in his 20s, about 5'9″ and weighing between 160-180 pounds, police said.
In the surveillance video, he was seen wearing a green camouflaged jacket, pants, boots and a baseball cap, possibly with a NY Knicks or Yankees logo.
The man seen in the video wearing light-colored pants, a light-colored jacket and a baseball hat is also wanted for questioning, police said. The two were seen talking together at the bus stop.
The person of interest is described as a black male in his 20s, approximately 5'10" and weighing 160 to 180 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

PFC. John Buchan, a member of 1st Squadron 4th Cavalry Regiment, currently deployed to Afghanistan, has sent out a video invitation to Selena Gomez. PFC. Buchan, ask's that Selena accept his invite to join him at the 1st Squadron 4th Cavalry Regiment's ball, which takes place on 17 April 2013, in Manattan Kansas.
Now Ms. Gomez, we know you just recently broke up with Justin Beiber, and we believe a date with a Cav Soldier will help you get over the break up. As a Soldier myself, I can assure you that PFC. Buchan will treat you as a true gentlemen would. Here is the video invitation from him to you:
So Selena, will you save the date in your calendar to allow PFC. Buchan to take you to the 1-4 Cavalry ball? Not to mention he also was the Soldier of The Month for 1-4, that in itself is an accomplishment. Anyone that has ever been to one of those boards will tell you it is no walk in the park!
We look forward to hearing from you Selena, no matter what your answer may be. His battles have set up a page on facebook to support the cause as well:
Get Selena Gomez To Go To The Cavalry Ball With PFC John Buchan Note: The support Page was taken down temporarily.
You can also contact us with your answer and we will get it to the Soldier, and get you in touch with him. You can email us at email@example.com
And to add to this, in no way is Selena to feel like she has to do anything. If she wants to that is fine, if she declines that is also her right. No one will look down or berate her should she choose either way. She should not feel obligated just because he is a Soldier, nor should anyone look down on her either way.

Why is Professional Indemnity Insurance Essential for Nurses?
There is a wide range of professions where professional indemnity insurance coverage is essential and one of those professions is nursing. Working as a nurse, you are exposed to a variety of unique professional risks on a daily basis. Nurses perform crucial roles in the care and treatment of sick patients, while they can also conduct a number of important administration tasks involved in the efficient running of a hospital.
The number of incidents that could happen and result in a nurse being the target of a lawsuit is quite large. A nurse could:
- The incorrect administration of a drug to a patient
- Accidentally fail to carry out instructions properly to care for a patient
- Be wrongfully accused of unprofessional conduct either while performing clinical duties or administration work
- Give the wrong advice to a patient
- Apply or remove dressings negligently, resulting in damage or injury to a patient
- Make a mistake or error of judgement due to being overworked.
This is far from a complete list of the risks and dangers nurses face but it gives a good idea of the number of incidents and events that could lead to a claim of negligence being brought against you. According to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), as of July 2010, all nurses in Australia are required to have professional indemnity insurance in place.
You may be offered some level of cover under your employer's professional indemnity policy, but it's also a good idea to take out cover for yourself. Some professional associations offer professional indemnity cover to members, while you can also take out a policy from an insurance provider.
Professional indemnity insurance offers financial protection against the many risks nurses face, ensuring they can simply perform their vital jobs without having to worry about the damage their finances and careers would suffer if something went wrong.
Find professional indemnity insurance for nurses in australia
Professional indemnity insurance is a crucial form of cover for many individuals and business across a variety of industries. Professional indemnity insurance is designed for professionals who offer their expert advice and services to clients in return for a fee. During the course of offering advice to a client, it's possible that you may make a mistake or omit an important piece of information that could result in your client suffering a physical, material or financial loss.
If that happens, your client may launch legal action to seek compensation for the loss they have suffered. In such cases, a claim of negligence or of breaching your professional duty may be brought against you. Even if such a claim is false, you still have to defend yourself and may incur expensive legal costs. Then there's the threat of costly compensation to consider, as well as the damage any legal action could do to your reputation or the public image of your business.
This is why professional indemnity insurance is such an essential form of cover. It provides cover for the cost of your legal defence, as well as for any compensation you may be legally liable to pay. In addition, it will also be able to help you hire public relations consultants to repair the damage done to your reputation.
Professional indemnity insurance offers crucial financial protection for your business. With this type of cover in place, you won't need to worry about the financial impact on your business if something goes wrong in the future.

What does professional indemnity insurance usually cover?
Professional indemnity insurance offers vital financial protection for nurses. While cover obviously differs from one policy to the next, most policies will generally provide cover for the following incidents:
- If you are sued for malpractice or negligence
- If you are sued for damages as a result of a public liability claim
- If, in connection to your work, you are sued for defamation, libel or slander
- If you are sued for breaching intellectual property rights
- If you are called upon to appear before the Coroner
- If you are reported to AHPRA
- If you are sued after performing a Good Samaritan Act
Policies will provide cover for the cost of your legal defence, as well as compensation for your time required to attend court or an inquiry. If you are required to pay compensation or damages, this is catered for under a professional indemnity policy as well, as is the cost of hiring a public relations consultant to limit or repair any damage to your reputation.
In order to determine exactly what is covered under a professional indemnity insurance policy, read its product disclosure statement closely.Back to top
How much professional indemnity insurance does a nurse need?
The cost of professional indemnity insurance will obviously vary from one provider to the next, though there are other factors that can impact on the cost of your premiums. For example, a registered nurse can perform many different duties to a mental health nurse or a nurse who works in a non-hospital environment, exposing them to a different range of risks to others. As a general rule, the more risks you are exposed to, the more you'll have to pay for cover.
How much insurance cover you take out will also influence how much you have to pay for your premiums. $1 million is commonly listed as the minimum amount of professional indemnity cover available, while on average the limit for most policies is around the $10 million mark. However, there are policies available that offer up to $20 million coverage.
When deciding how much cover you need, remember that you will be liable to cover any claims that exceed the limit of indemnity on your policy. You may think that it's unlikely a claim will ever be made against you, but all it takes is one mistake that can have serious consequences. How much would you be able to afford to pay if you were taken to court? Take care to make sure you don't end up under-insured.
Choosing professional indemnity insurance for nurses
When you're shopping for professional indemnity insurance cover, there are a number of tips and suggestions you should take into account. The first thing you should be aware of is that professional indemnity policies are provided on a claims made basis — this means that the insurance policy which will offer the protection you need is the one that is in force when a claim is actually made, not the policy which was in force when the act of negligence or malpractice occurred. As a result, you need to take your past work into account when applying for a policy, as well as considering having continuing coverage in place when you retire.
As with any important purchase, you should shop around when hunting for insurance cover. Compare policies at finder.com.au and seek out reviews from online resources. You can also seek advice from your colleagues as to their experience with insurers and professional indemnity coverage.
Obtain multiple quotes from a number of insurers and don't be sucked in by the cheapest quote you see. You need to take the time to compare the features, benefits, limits and exclusions of each policy to better determine the true value of any quote.
If you need further assistance finding the right cover, seek expert and tailored advice from an insurance consultant.
Can I get income protection for myself or for my employees?
The good news is that nurses can get income protection. Income protection can help provide income replacement if you are unable to work from either a sickness or illness. Policies can cover both events that occur inside and outside of the hospital and nursing home etc.

Frequently asked questions about professional indemnity insurance
Q. My employer has insurance coverage in place. Do I need to take out more?
- A. Check with your employer to find out the exact level of cover they have in place. Many employer policies will only offer minimal coverage for their employees, so it's often a good idea to take out protection for yourself.
Q. Should I buy insurance direct or through an adviser?
- A. The approach you take to finding cover is entirely up to you. The benefits of buying professional indemnity insurance direct is that the application process is fast, simple and easy to understand. The downside is that some people don't fully understand the ins and outs of this type of insurance policy and end up with an inadequate level of cover. Buying coverage through an insurance broker ensures you have access to expert advice that is tailored to your professional situation, so consider your decision carefully when taking out cover.
Q. How much will cover cost?
- A. This will depend on a range of factors, including the nature of the work you do, the level of cover you take out, your insurer and the policy you choose. Compare your options to find the right policy for your needs.
Q. I've made a mistake and feel I could be the subject of a claim. What should I do?
- A. You should notify your insurance provider as soon as you are made aware of any circumstances or events that may lead to a claim. This will ensure that you are covered.
Professional indemnity insurance offers essential coverage for a wide range of occupations, especially for nurses. With the unique and extensive range of risks nurses are exposed to, this type of cover offers the protection you need to ensure your financial strength and career survival if you are ever accused of breaching your professional duty.Back to top

Working capital is a measurement often used to express the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. Working capital is the excess of current assets of a company, organization or any other entity over it's current liabilities. Every business industry has it's own standards for working capital, in some industries there should be more working capital available to the company while in some industries a little working capital is enough to smoothly run the company.
If you just sum up all the current assets of a company, it's know as Gross Working Capital of that company. Now If we deduct current liabilities of the company from gross working capital we will get Net Working Capital. Investors and creditors often use working capital calculation before investing in a prospective business. Note that working capital is not the only measure to judge a company's liquidity or to know if this company is profitable for investement rather there are other measures too which must be considered before going for any decision.

Estadísticas de Viento para Itapiruba South Side, Promedio de enero desde 2006
The graph describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical January. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with the strongest winds shown by the darkest shade of blue. It is based on 2868 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Itapiruba South Side, located 27 km away (17 miles). There are not enough recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the dominant wind at Itapiruba South Side blows from the SE. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Itapiruba South Side. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average January, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 9% of the time (3 days each January) and blows offshore 51% of the time (16 days in an average January). In a typical January winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 3 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Itapiruba South Side
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Medical anthropology, Sociology
Setting and Context
Merced, California, in the 1980s and 1990s; some flashbacks to Laos and Thailand in the 1960s and 1970s
Narrator and Point of View
Author Anne Fadiman narrates the story. While much of it is written in the third person, she uses the first person to insert herself into the story beginning in Chapter 8. In so doing, she reminds us that she, too, is a character in the narrative. Much as she would like to maintain objectivity while telling each side of the story, she too has biases and cultural baggage, which may influence her perspective. Fadiman herself highlights this point in the Afterword: "I constantly fought - and still fight - the assumption that my perspective was the(in italics) perspective. I knew this was the trap into which both sides in Lia's conflict had fallen, but the fact that it was the central lesson of my book made it no easier to avoid" (300).
Tone and Mood
The tone of the book is serious. Fadiman cares deeply about her subject and wishes to convey her story as objectively as possible. She does not cast blame, but rather shows how differences in beliefs based on culture can have tragic consequences even when both sides are acting as they think is best. Her fascination of the Hmong is evident through her detailed accounts of their history and culture.
The mood is generally somber, given the tragedy that befalls a little girl. However, Lia's story is interspersed with ethnographic information about the Hmong and amusing anecdotes, which lighten the mood. In addition, there is a sense of hope as Fadiman posits ways to improve health care for the Hmong so that Lia's story need never be repeated.
Protagonist and Antagonist
A protagonist contends with difficulties he or she must overcome, often caused by an antagonist. Lia's parents and doctors cause difficulties for one another, but who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist depend on one's point of view.
Major Conflict
Foua and Nao Kao had very different ideas about how best to care for their epileptic daughter Lia than her American doctors, based on their vastly different cultures. Unable to bridge the communication and culture gaps, her doctors placed Lia into foster care, further eroding the trust that Foua and Nao Kao had in the American medical system.
The climax occurs when Lia has her big seizure and goes into septic shock, resulting in brain damage.
Many details foreshadow Lia's tragedy. One of the clearest is Neil Ernst's premonition: "I felt like there was this giant snowball that was coming down the mountain and we were trying to hold it up there and it just kept pushing us. I remember talking to the parents and telling them that Lia's seizures were getting worse and more frequent and that someday she might have one we couldn't stop. It was so haunting. I started to have nightmares that it was going to happen, and I would be the one on call, and I couldn't stop it and she was going to die right before my eyes. It was inevitable. It was just a matter of when" (118).
Fadiman continues to foreshadow the tragedy that befalls Lia as she describes the evening of her big seizure. When she tells us about Lia's trip to the hospital via ambulance, she notes: "If her parents had run the three blocks to MCMC with Lia in their arms, they would have saved nearly twenty minutes that, in retrospect, may have been critical" (141). Describing the doctors' reactions at the hospital, she shares details that suggest they have missed some vital signs: "No one thought of taking her temperature, which was 101, until after Neil had returned home. Two other unusual signs - diarrhea and a very low platelet count - were simply noted without comment on Lia's chart, eclipsed into invisibility by the monumental scale of her seizures. No antibiotics were administered because no infection was suspected" (144). Later, we learn that Lia was actually suffering from septic shock, a far more deadly condition that led to her brain damage.
More generally, Fadiman's descriptions of Hmong beliefs about illness and western medicine foreshadow the difficulties that they will have with the American medical system.
There are a number of allusions to Hmong folktales. For instance, we learn about Shee Yee, a legendary healer and magician, who escaped nine evil dab brothers by shapeshifting into various forms. Shee Yee eventually transferred his powers to human tvix neebs, or shamans, who summon his spirit as they do his work. These folktales often serve to illustrate some aspect of the character of the Hmong people. Like Shee Yee, they are courageous and tenacious, and will fight or flee rather than surrender. Another folktale tells of an arrogant official who is turned into a mouse upon whom the hero, disguised as a cat, pounces, illustrating how much the Hmong dislike being belittled.
Fadiman uses rich visual imagery to help us to understand both Hmong culture and what happened to Lia. She uses details to "zoom in" on key scenes, such as Lia's big seizure, the Lee's escape from Laos, and a tvix neeb ceremony held for Lia.
Fadiman employs a parallel structure when describing Hmong beliefs about food cravings: "If she craved ginger and failed to eat it, her child would be born with an extra finger or toe. If she craved chicken flesh and did not eat it, her child would have a blemish near its ear. If she craved eggs and did not eat them, her child would have a lumpy head" (4). The use of parallel structures gives this set of sentences a rhythm that is almost poetic, helping to paint a picture of life in Laos.
There are parallels as well between the two stories told in alternating chapters: that of Lia Lee, and that of the Hmong people. Both suffered severe hardships and were recipients of assistance by Americans, but both would have been better served had those Americans taken the time to understand their needs and their culture.
Metonymy and Synecdoche
Fadiman employs metonymy when describing the tvix neeb ceremony in Chapter 19. She writes: "The tvix neeb sat on Shee Yee's winged horse" (286), referring to a board about ten feet long and ten inches wide sitting upon a pair of supports. Rather than describing the literal truth - that the shaman was sitting on a wooden bench which was meant to represent a mythical winged horse from Hmong legend - she tells us that he is sitting on the horse itself, thereby strengthening the relationship between the bench and the object it symbolizes. She explains that the horse is not just a metaphor, but rather that the bench was truly a flying horse to the people in the room.
One could argue that a dab is a personification of organisms that carry disease. The Hmong believe that evil spirits called dabs can steal souls (particularly those of babies), thereby causing a person to become sick. Living in isolated rural areas and lacking formal education, it was likely much easier to picture an evil spirit taking a child's soul than to attribute an illness to microscopic bacteria or viruses that could neither be seen nor imagined.
Animals are also personified in Hmong culture, in that they are believed to have souls and to be able to consent to being sacrificed. Fadiman explains how the tvix neeb at Lia's ceremony "spoke quietly to the pig, explaining that it would be well rewarded for its work and that at the end of the year its soul would be set free from its obligations" (285). He then threw a set of divination horns to see if the pig had accepted its role, only continuing the ceremony when it did so.

RMS - Run My Samples¶
RMS is a "cluster scripting language" and execution engine, making the creation of computational pipelines, and running them across a compute cluster, easy to do. The software takes a templated RMS script plus spreadsheet data files, generates commands by using the spreadsheet data to fill in the templates (i.e., for each file, each sample, each trio), and runs them on the current computer or across a cluster.
And, calling it a language overstates the case just a bit. It really consists of extra lines to organize the Bash, Perl, Python or R scripts of a pipeline, along with fill-in-the-blank "template elements" that are replaced when creating the executed commands. You write the pipeline steps in any combination of the four languages, include the RMS lines and template elements, and then run RMS with the script and the spreadsheet data as you would any program. It handles all of the details of creating, queueing and running jobs across the cluster.
For example, if you have the file 'myfiles.txt', containing the names of three files plus a column header on the first line,
and have the following RMS script 'myscript.rms', where the first line is an RMS line saying to execute the lines below as a command (and to execute that for each "File" in the spreadsheet data),
#### runTheFiles File
mycommand <File>
then you can run rms as follows:
rms myscript.rms myfiles.txt
and RMS will execute the three commands "mycommand myfile1", "mycommand myfile2" and "mycommand myfile3" across your cluster, handling all of the details of cluster queues and job submissions.
The best place to get started is with Installation and Configuration, because you likely will need to add a configuration file describing your cluster, even if the RMS software has been installed already. Getting Started - Hello World!, part 1 will let you test the software on your cluster and see another simple RMS example. Then, the rest of the documents contain more examples and go into detail about RMS scripts and running RMS.

There's a new White Hot beer, new women's Heat gear and lots more social media, even in Mandarin.
As the Miami Heat make their fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals, marketers are finding new ways to promote the team, the league and related businesses.
What's new this year is local — like Peace Love Heat shirts made by a Miami business. And it's global, including 16 new NBA broadcast partners. Broadcast coverage will reach 215 countries and territories in 47 languages through televisions, computers and mobile devices.
Here are highlights of what's new and cool this championship series:
WHITE HOT WHEAT ALE: Just in time for the Finals, Heat fans now have their own local beer.
Miami's Wynwood Brewing Co. had been experimenting with making an American wheat ale that was not as cloudy as German or Belgian ones, when Heat executives stopped in, tried it and liked it.
Now, White Hot (W)heat is available at the AmericanAirlines Arena and at the tap-room of the months-old brewhouse. It's paler than most wheats — more white like the Heat's long-time White Hot Finals theme.
"The really neat thing is having such a powerful organization support local guys like us," said brewery founder Luis Brignoni, whose startup now employs about a dozen people. "It's really nice."
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLOSION: For Heat fans, this Finals will have more social media than ever in more languages, from Mandarin to Portuguese.

Novel Discussion, Day Five
Lesson 8 of 17
Objective: Students will be able to discuss a novel by posing and responding to questions, incorporating others into discussion, and presenting their own ideas and justifications.
Today's do now is another quick reading check. I ask students to give their opinion (with justification) on a character in their book. This also serves as an unknowing warm-up for our focused study of RL1, making and supporting a point.
Students enjoy sharing their opinions:
"Huck is weak--he never stands up to the Duke and Dauphin."
"Antonia is not nice--she takes Jim for granted when he acts like a friend toward her."
"Richie is courageous--he could have gone home because of his health, but he chose to stay and fight because of his friends."
While I would love to hear more support, this is a good start. We'll save multiple details for support for a later lesson.
When I ask students to move to discussion, there is a great deal of confusion:
After we're all settled, students begin discussion. Today is less enthusiastic than before; we seem to have lost motivation with the strange schedule of the previous week. Still, most students are on task. A visit and reminder from me is enough to get the others back on task. By the end of discussion, groups have again worked together to analyze their reading assignments for the day; the end goal is achieved.
Resources (1)

I again give students time to read, knowing that many students won't read at home if they aren't engaged or at least nearly done from reading in class. Students get comfortable and push further into their novels.

Poetry books are well represented on library shelves and eagerly checked out by readers raised on Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss. Fans of their humor and wordplay will love Adam Rex's two monstrous poetry collections, "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich" and the brand-new "Frankenstein Takes the Cake." Each book features poems about famous monsters – Dracula, the Phantom of the Opera, Bigfoot – and their trials and tribulations.
In the new book, meet the Sphinx – "If you're not good at riddles,/ then you're Tender Vittles" – and the Headless Horseman, whose blog is entitled "Off the Top of My Head." Other poems introduce intergalactic spam emails, haiku written by a Japanese monster, and Poe's raven who finally stalks away muttering,"Give me a good adventure story, that's what I like. Not this 'twas-and-thither garbage."
Illustrations in styles ranging from cartoons to faux advertisements to photo collages fill each page, while the raven pops up again on the back jacket, saying, "Show's inside, folks. Nothing back here but the bar code." Readers ten and up, especially those who like Mad magazine's brand of humor, will help this to join its predecessor on the best-seller lists.
On a very different note, Joyce Carol Thomas's "The Blacker the Berry" celebrates all the shades of black in poems written in the voices of children. "I am African-Native-American/ I am raspberry black," says the little boy reading about his African-American and Seminole forefathers. Another child has Irish ancestors "Who reddened the Africa in my face." A dark-skinned girl quotes the old saying, "The blacker the berry/ The sweeter the juice." Other children are the color of biscuits, of mulberries, of black coffee.
Floyd Cooper won a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award for the book. Using oil paint and glazes, he portrays sun-warmed scenes in all the shades of honey, brown, white and black portrayed in the poems. The final double-page spread of children of all colors is followed by a poem that ends, "We come in all shades/ Night, sun bright/ Color thick/ Color slight/ Color struck."
Poetry is made to be read out loud, so the audio CD accompanying Nikki Giovanni's new collection is especially welcome. "Hip Hop Speaks to Children, A Celebration of Poetry with a Beat" includes poems by authors as diverse as Queen Latifah, Langston Hughes, Kanye West and Maya Angelou. What they all have in common is an emphasis on rhythm.
"Funky Snowman loves to dance./ You'd think he wouldn't have much chance/ without two legs or even pants," a poem by Calef Brown begins, and the CD includes a lively reading by the poet. Also included are Gwendolyn Brooks reading her famous poem "We Real Cool," followed by a recitation of the poem "hambone" style by Nikki Giovanni and two other poets. The voices of Langston Hughes and The Sugarhill Gang are heard as well.
Five different artists illustration this collection. Their colorful styles, patterns and designs are the perfect complement to an anthology that will get kids on their feet and chanting the poems and songs along with artists.

What is the average ACT score for students with a unilateral hearing loss? Is it lower than the national average for hearing students? My daughter has microtia/atresia of her left ear and is a great student but has taken the exam multiple times with a highest score of a 26. Wondering if her hearing loss is some of the issue.
As far as we can tell, ACT (American College Test) scores are not available for sub-populations like students with unilateral hearing losses. Generally, however, even mild and unilateral hearing losses will affect spoken language comprehension, especially in noisy environments (like classrooms). It may be that your daughter has other skills that allow her to compensate in school, but standardized entrance tests tap a variety of knowledge and abilities, not all of which necessarily are reflected in her school grades. (I am assuming that your daughter has not had difficulty understanding spoken instructions during the ACT test administration.)
It is wonderful that you (and presumably her daughter) aspire to higher ACT test scores, but you might want to recognize that students with almost any degree of hearing loss generally struggle academically as well as with standardized tests; a composite score of 26 is quite good in that context. The Gallaudet University website, for example, indicates that as of 2007-2008, deaf and hard-of-hearing students only have been required to have a composite score of only 14 to gain entrance. Compared to deaf and hard-of-hearing students currently enrolled in baccalaureate programs at Rochester Institute of Technology , your daughter's score put her in the top 50%.

Committed to Conservation
The employees at Carmel & Naccasha take great pride in their commitment to giving back to the community and in that regard take environmental stewardship and their carbon footprint seriously. Over the years and as the business has grown, a number of conservation strategies have been put into action at both the San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles offices.
"As our children learn and care more about the benefits and necessities of environmental stewardship, we find that even these small steps make a difference in a connected community like ours," said Ziyad Naccasha. "Locals know if you make the effort to reduce your carbon footprint. Why take the time as a local business to do so? That's like asking why I should vote. Every little bit helps."

Fuel Cells get their act together
Well, they sure aren't the most sexy things to look at, so why all the excitment? Because they are being touted as the replacement for the fossil-fuel-guzzling, greenhouse-gas-emitting combustion engine. So a lot is resting on their shoulders. At its most basic; hydrogen is feed in one side, oxygen the other side. the hydrogen splits in two - the protons slip through a dividing membrane. But remaining electrons are forced to go around and in doing so, are captured as electricity, before recombining with the oxygen to form little old H2O. Yep, it emits just plain old water. Of course, thats the chemistry, possible in a lab. But getting it to happen in generally available products, like automobiles, is a magic trick, that some of our best scientific minds are currently trying to solve. However, late last week, the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) advised that a "major milestone" had been achieved. They said that "Delphi Corp. has reached a power density level in its fuel-cell program that will greatly reduce the cost of the technology and make fuel cells competitive in the commercial market." Apparently this will allow the fuel cell development to "meet the government's energy-production target of $400 per kilowatt hour -- about one tenth of the cost of energy produced by current fuel cell models." There are several methods of getting a fuel cell to function, but most research is going into Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology - the one described above. It's expected that 30 companies, worldwide, will have commerical products out this year, so regardless of looks, it could indeed be an exciting year for fuel cells. Learn more on fuel cell powered vehicles, at fueleconomy.gov a website by both the DOE and EPA. Via ::Sustainable Business and ::Fuel Cell Today [by WM]

New Domain Prices
Posted by Amy
Posted in Company News
As of August 31 the domain authority has raised the registration price of some domain extensions, which has trickled down to all domain registrars and resellers. Due to this raise in our cost, we have had to make some pretty hard decisions on the price of domains we offer. The goal was to keep prices as low as possible for our clients, while making sure that we weren't throwing ourselves under the bus. We already offer certain extensions in our free domains with yearly hosting, but what about those of you who want more than one domain?
Rather than raising some domains a lot, we've opted for raising all domains a little. The purchases of the domains that didn't go up in our cost will help to cover those domains that did go up. But, more than simply raising slightly across the board, we've also added a few extensions to our offerings to give you more options. Here are the current extensions we're offering and the prices..
$11.99/yr – .com.es, .nom.es, .es, .de, .be
$12.49/yr – .com, .net, .org, .us (must be US citizen), .nl
$12.99/yr – .info, .biz, .pw, .com.de,
$19.99/yr – .eu, .ca
$24.99/yr – .mobi, .com.co, .net.co, .nom.co
$29.99/yr – .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn, .cc, .me, .co
$79.99/yr – .com.mx, .net.mx, .org.mx
$15.99/2yr – .co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk (must be UK citizen)
$59.99/2yr – .nu
If you would like to see us offer a domain extension that is not listed here, please comment on this post and let us know, if it is one our registrar offers we will add it.
For current clients who already have domains registered with us, you will not see an increase in the renewal cost of your domains until October 10. This gives you 30 days to renew at the previous, lower cost.
