A Checklist To Make Sure That Your Web Site Makeover Has It All

By Admin | Posted in Web Developer

Here’s An Opinion On:

By Seomul Evans

So you finally completed the ambitious revamp project for your website; the design is all ready and you simply love the final version that your web designer showed you, so then, should you go ahead and make your revamped website live? That would actually be a very big mistake; because unless you have been through a checklist that irons out any anomalies and glitches that the new site may have, you are just asking for trouble. So here is a checklist that will prove incredibly valuable if you have revamped your site.

The right time: Launching a new product or an updated website at the right time can make a big difference to your profits; it is highly recommended that you do not re-launch your website over the weekend on Friday r on a holiday, simply because you ca expect several issues with a re-launched website including problems with the shopping cart, web pages, the blog or the images used and you may not have your we designing team on hand to sort them out. It is also advisable to have your web designer with you all the way through the launch and for a day or two after it so that he/she is around to take acre of any issues that may crop up.

Test, Test and test again: The more browsers you check your site against, the more certain you can be that all your clients will be able to see the site the way you intended. A very common problem encountered with revamped websites is that the design looks amazing at the designers’ office; it may even work very well on your office computer but when you put it on a variety of browsers; things may go horribly awry. So, ensure that you test your site by parking it in a test location and ask your viewers to offer feedback.

Often visitors bookmark certain web pages and when you upgrade your website and change the file name you lose the bookmarks and any back links that those pages ay have got and it would be incredibly stupid to lose such valuable SEO commodities. An easy way to bypass this situation is to make sure that you use the same name for your old and new files; make sure that the new name of a web page corresponds with the old ones and your links and bookmarks will stay intact even after the upgrade. If you have an old page that does not need to be upgraded make sure that you redirect to the closest equivalent. It is common for web designers to overlook this vital point, so take the time out to let your web designer know that you are expecting this

If you have a website, you must have used SEO strategies to improve your search engine ranking and if so, make sure that you do not change the page titles. Most SEO experts will tell you that if your website received many visitors in the past; do not change the old page titles because if you change the title you will lose all built up ranking.

Get rid of boilerplate. This usually happens when designers use a standard template and they do so very often but they don’t necessarily tell the client about it. The template can have prewritten text and this will make extra pages visible to your visitors.

If you use the website to sell products make sure that everything is in order by running a sample order and subscription from the revamped site. You may also want to test the list sign up and the ordering procedures to ensure that they are working as planned. All the testing work should be done while the site is still in the test location; there will simply be not time to sort things out after the site launch. There are times when the thank you message comes out all garbled or it simply does not seem right after the makeover. You need to make sure that you have the ability to fix all glitches immediately; putting a non functioning site online could result in the loss of several potential customers.

Before you upload the new pages to the web server, make sure that you delete all the old pages; do this right before you upload the new pages or immediately afterwards

Support strong to bring back 1980 Soviet mascot for the 2014 Olympics

By Admin | Posted in Uncategorized

Saturday, September 29, 2007File:Misza 1980.jpg

For the first time after the fall of the iron curtain Russia will host the Olympic Games – in 2014 the Winter Olympics will take place in Sochi, a Black Sea resort town. The games are considered a matter of national prestige and generate more media attention than the recent changes in Russian government (Russia’s Putin recently installed the new prime-minister, who, incidentally, also became the chair of the Russian Olympic committee.)

As Russia takes enormous efforts to prepare for the Olympics and build a modern sport infrastructure from scratch, the Russian public is more concerned with the mascot for the upcoming games. When Moscow hosted the Summer Olympics in the 1980, the mascot for the Moscow Games was Misha the Bear, developed by children’s book illustrator Victor Chizhikov. Misha instantly became a graphic-design hit, especially in the Soviet bloc. Olympic posters were snatched up and t-shirts were fought over. And as Sochi is set to become the new Olympic city, Russians are keen to see the old bear return.

There is a long way to the Sochi Olympics, but the Bear is already coming back from retirement. Russia! magazine, an English-language publication distributed in the US and the UK, has commissioned the most prominent designers and artists to do their own renditions of the famed mascot. “The Olympic Bear turns any Russian between the ages of 25 and 50 to quivering jelly. Our artistic compatriots were happy to whip the old bear into shape for 21st century use” – says Ilya Merenzon, the magazine’s publisher. “And the readers’ response was overwhelming. As soon as the new issue arrived at the stores, we constantly get emails requesting the Bear t-shirts. The animal is regaining his popularity”. – adds Merenzon.

It has not been decided, however, on the Sochi Games mascot. Another option is Cheburashka, a famous Russian cartoon character with big ears and humble smile. Cheburashka was the mascot for the Russian Olympic team in Turin and is one of the best-selling children’s toys in former USSR countries and, surprisingly, Japan, where it is known as “Chebu”.

How To Choose Or Grow The Perfect Tomato

By Admin | Posted in Timber

Here’s An Opinion On:
Trex Decking For Sale Sunshine Coast

By Gary Nave

The best part of summer is a fresh, sun-warmed red juicy vine ripened tomato. Depending on where you live this can be a long or short season.

So how do you pick a tomato in your local store? One important trait is its smell. If it looks like a tomato and smells like a tomato, it is a good tomato to pick. Choose a tomato with no bruises or cracks. Always try to support your local growers in your community for their fresh vegetables.

There are three different types of tomatoes. They are cherry tomatoes- good for salads and eating, plum tomatoes- good for sauce, soups and canning and don’t forget the slicing tomatoes-great on a fresh bread on those hot summer days. Tomatoes should be left on the counter and most importantly never refrigerate them.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8-QDCKdVO4[/youtube]

Nutritionist have been saying that tomatoes are good for you because they contain Lycopene. “Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant abundant in red tomatoes and processed tomato products, it may help prevent prostate cancer and some other forms of cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases”, according to lycopene.org.

If you look out on my deck you will see the most beautiful tomatoes ever. I know this because our neighbors are constantly checking over our fence and it is not so see us. This is because we found a fool proof way to grow tomatoes with very little work. The secret is using “Earth Boxes” earthbox.com.

Once you fill the earth box with all that is required, soil, lime and fertilizer you go to your local garden center and purchase tomato plants. The tomato plant is contained in the box and the soil is covered so there is no weeding. Earth boxes are self watering containers so you can’t over water your plants. This is great because it takes up very little space. Just place them where you get lots of sun and water as needed about every 1-3 days.

Personally, I choose to grow the beefsteak variety along with sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. Don’t forget to plant some green leaf lettuce for completely fresh salads during the summer.

Now what do you do with all these tomatoes? How about canning? Sauce? Salsa? The possibilities are endless. Go online for many recipes and suggestions.

Japan suggests dumping Fukushima waste at sea as radiation hits lethal levels

By Admin | Posted in Uncategorized

Monday, September 2, 2013

Radiation at Japan’s damaged Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant yesterday spiked to lethal levels around a leaking tank. Today the national Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said contaminated water may be pumped into the sea.

Tanks holding contaminated water at the site continue to leak; operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) says up to 300 metric tons may have leaked from one tank alone. Radiation at that tank soared to 1,800 millisieverts per hour yesterday, a rate lethal to an exposed human in about four hours. Japanese law says nuclear workers cannot be exposed to more than 50 millisieverts in a year.

TEPCO says other locations at the plant have readings of 70–230 millisieverts per hour. Waste water totalling more than 300,000 tons has already been collected at the site; more is being stored at a rate of 400 tons per day. An unknown quantity of radioactive groundwater is flowing into the sea.

NRA boss Shinichi Tanaka told a press conference today that stored water may be pumped into the Pacific after treatment to reduce contamination to within legal limits. “I’m afraid that it is unavoidable to dump or release the water into the sea,” he said, adding “careless management” was being applied to the water by TEPCO.

	The situation at Fukushima is changing everyday… The accident has yet to be settled down.

TEPCO first noticed a leak at the now-deadly tank in July but said it was minor and the NRA gave it a level one “anomaly” rating on the seven-part international scale. Last week that was raised to “serious incident”, level three, after TEPCO said up to 300 tons of water had leaked. The exact amount is unknown as there is no gauge to measure levels inside the tank and TEPCO staff had said water levels in the tank had remained constant.

Last week levels under the tank, where lost water is thought to have seeped into the ground, stood at 100 millisieverts per hour, and another at the facility had a level of 70 millisieverts per hour. TEPCO found another leak yesterday in a pipe between coolant tanks. Highly radioactive material was dripping out, but TEPCO says the leak is now fixed. Monitoring at the site has been increased since the original leak’s discovery two weeks ago.

Around 1,000 tanks are used to store water from the power plant’s coolant system, which was contaminated when three reactors melted down after a tsunami in March 2011. Around 160,000 people were evacuated in the worst nuclear disaster since 1986. Tanaka said “The situation at Fukushima is changing everyday… The accident has yet to be settled down.”

The new radiation involves beta rays, TEPCO said, which can be stopped with a sheet of metal. Water treatment has extracted caesium from the tanks but other radioactive elements remain. TEPCO’s equipment to remove other contamination is out of action due to filter corrosion after a few months of operating, but the government has demanded it be returned to service this month.

None of the tanks have monitoring equipment and TEPCO’s initial procedure involved two employees manually checking each tank over a two-hour period. Since the tank was found to be leaking the total monitoring staff has increased from ten to 60, and patrols are carried out four times a day instead of twice a day.

Prosecutors brought criminal charges against TEPCO and government officials including then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan for their handling of the crisis formed after the tsunami. Daily newspaper Sankei Shimbun today claimed all charges, brought after local residents complained, were to be dropped. Sankei Shimbun suggests a formal announcement may come within days.

Kansai Electric Power today began shutting down one of only two reactors still generating power in Japan, reactor #3 at Oi Nuclear Power Plant, for mandatory inspection. The other, Oi’s reactor #4, is to be permanently switched off this month. When the accident began nuclear energy supplied a third of Japan’s power requirements, but in the aftermath of Fukushima the nation has switched to fossil fuels.

At Thanksgiving dinner David Shankbone told his white middle class family that he was to interview Reverend Al Sharpton that Saturday. The announcement caused an impassioned discussion about the civil rights leader’s work, the problems facing the black community and whether Sharpton helps or hurts his cause. Opinion was divided. “He’s an opportunist.” “He only stirs things up.” “Why do I always see his face when there’s a problem?”

Shankbone went to the National Action Network’s headquarters in Harlem with this Thanksgiving discussion to inform the conversation. Below is his interview with Al Sharpton on everything from Tawana Brawley, his purported feud with Barack Obama, criticism by influential African Americans such as Clarence Page, his experience running for President, to how he never expected he would see fifty (he is now 53). “People would say to me, ‘Now that I hear you, even if I disagree with you I don’t think you’re as bad as I thought,'” said Sharpton. “I would say, ‘Let me ask you a question: what was “bad as you thought”?’ And they couldn’t say. They don’t know why they think you’re bad, they just know you’re supposed to be bad because the right wing tells them you’re bad.”

Pay Per Head Vs Post Up Sportsbooks: A Conflict Of Interests

Here’s An Opinion On:
Sports Betting Website

Searching out for Pay Per Head shop:
For any local bookie interested in expanding his operation signing up with a Pay per Head Company that offers bookmaking software is the next logical step to take. When searching around the market you will find that there is not only an extensive amount of companies out there, but also that most of them will assure you they are offering the best service of them all. This makes the entire process of choosing your Pay per head shop more difficult and complicated as you will need to be able to discern which of them are for real and which others are just making false promises.
Look out for Post Up Sportsbooks:
Even though there is some factors you need to compare between companies (player website, customization, test accounts, lines accuracy, servers redundancy, etc.), there is one aspect of extreme importance that you would want to look out when reading reviews and calling these companies, this is the fact of whether they are, or affiliated in some way with a Post Up Sportsbook. Even before you pick the phone you ought to find out if the Pay per head shop you are considering also does Post up, if they do you better off moving to the next one and not wasting your time because this can cost you, your entire operation.
Conflict of interests:
The Pay Per Head Company that you finally decide to do business with should have one and only one interest in the business relationship: Providing great quality bookmaking and betting services at a reasonable fee per player. The biggest problem with Post up sportsbooks is that they break this rule by getting their own interests into the table. This type of companies make their money in the same way as the bookie: taking bets from players, collecting from the losers, and paying out the winners; you are probably starting to see the important conflict of interests that this represents.
Shaking hands with the enemy:
There is nothing that stops the post up sportsbook to do everything in their power to start turning your players against you and make them sign up directly with them. By signing up with one of these companies you are basically giving them a list of active players; from there they only need to offer them a better deal than you to make them switch to their side. They do this in the form of all kind of bonuses and promotions: initial deposits, re-up deposits, new member referrals, rebates, etc. And remember that they not only have a list of players that you have provided at the time of registration, but they also know which of them are the biggest losers; these are who they will first come after.
Final thoughts:
So consider yourself informed; when searching around for a pay per head provider look out for which of them are actually post up sportsbooks offering pay per head services for local bookies. Take your time to do your own research reading reviews for the top-rated price per head companies; make sure you use more than one reviews site to make sure the source of the information is legit. Using betting forums is also a good idea; create an account and ask around for opinions on the particular pay per head companies you are most interested in. Finally pick up the phone and call these people directly to find out what they really are all about.

Picking a post-up sportsbook can seriously compromise your business because you will be literally shaking hands with the enemy. This can cost you your entire operation and all for what you’ve worked so hard and put so much of your time into.

The United States Geological Survey said a 6.1 M_w earthquake struck on Thursday, at 01:21:34 p.m. local time (6:21:34 p.m. UTC) in northern Costa Rica, a Central American country, 30 kilometres (19 mi) NNW of San José and near the volcano Poás.

The epicenter was at 20 miles (32 kilometers) north-northwest of San Jose at a depth of 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers), with Coordinate 10° 11? 49.2? N, 84° 9? 32.4? W, and Decimal 10.197,-84.159. Causing widespread panic and damage, it was felt all over Costa Rica as well as in southern central Nicaragua, and was the strongest to shake Costa Rica in about 150 years.

“Today is a day of mourning for Costa Ricans,” President Oscar Arias Sanchez said. “These losses of life fill us with pain; our prayers will be for their families, hundreds of families had seen serious damage to their homes,” Arias added. Originally seventeen people, including three children, were reported killed but was later decreased to 5 fatalities. About 42 were reported missing, at least 32 were injured and 2,450 people affected.

The quake toll jumped to 34 dead, 64 missing, on Saturday, while emergency workers rescued at least 200 stranded tourists in Varablanca hotel, according to Ministry of Infrastructure spokeswoman Silvia Chaves.

Amid problems of mudslides, cracked roads, tumbling rocks and fallen trees, National Social Security and Health agency, Red Cross rescue workers, firemen and police rushed Friday to evacuate about 600 people. Half of them were foreign tourists stranded in La Paz Waterfall Gardens eco-resort in Vara Blanca, and others were trapped by boulders and earth, when mountain roads in Costa Rica blocked two villages of Vara Blanca and Cinchona. The main CNE warehouse containing relief items (food, mattresses), for distribution to the victims, was burned, while the second airport in San Jose, is now closed.

Most of the victims died when part of the hillside collapsed and a landslide occurred near the La Paz waterfall at Vara Blanca, on the flanks of the volcano Poás. The Poas Volcano National Park was utterly destroyed and the La Paz waterfall road was torn, causing about 300 tourists trapped. At least 400 people were evacuated from the area in rescue helicopters.

Constant 2,000 aftershocks (1,200 through early Friday in the towns of San Pedro de Poas and Vara Blanca), complicated the rescue and emergency missions for stranded people in mountainous central zones. National Emergency Commission official Victor Falla said that there were small tremors every couple of minutes. “It’s shaking right now,” he added. 1,244 people were displaced, and 1,078 people are living in shelters. In addition, a hotel, houses, roads, and vehicles were damaged, and a couple of bridges were destroyed. The town of Cinchona was heavily hit, and all of the buildings there were heavily damaged. Power was temporarily disrupted in San José. “There are many buses and many vehicles that are trapped,” deputy public safety minister Jose Torres said.

In the central valley, populated by 2.5 million of the country’s four million inhabitants, the National Emergency Board declared an emergency in the metropolitan area including San Jose, Cartago, Alajuela and Heredia. The earthquake hit strongest the remote area near Alajuela. Several homes collapsed and major highways were still blocked.

A team of 34 U.S. military personnel and four Black Hawk helicopters from Honduras-based Joint Task Force-Bravo was sent on Friday by the U.S. Government to assist Costa Rican rescue workers, which include 400 volunteers and Red Cross personnel, who were dispensing aid in 15 communities. Colombia and China had also offered assistance to quake victims. The U.S. Army and Air Force aviation crews, rescue, medical and support personnel, is coordinating with the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) in the rescue efforts. At least 150 stranded tourists from the United States, France, Canada and Spain, were finally rescued on Friday.
