First birthday wishes and happy quotes

/in , /by

Remember this: Real Birthday Wishes Quotes are not annual affairs. Real Happy Birthday Quotes are the days when we have a new birth.

 

If I’d known I was going to live this long (100 years), I’d have taken better care of myself.

 

You’re not forty; you’re eighteen with twenty two years of experience.

 

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

 

“You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.”

 

Birthday wishes quotes – Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.

 

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.

 

All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.

 

Thirty-five is a very attractive age; London society is full of women who have of their own free choice remained thirty-five for years.

 

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

 

We know we’re getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it

 

Happy birthday quotes – Women deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of twenty eight and forty.

 

At middle age the soul should be opening up like a rose, not closing up like a cabbage.

 

“There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents and only one for birthday presents, you know.”

 

You will recognize, my boy, the first sign of old age: it is when you go out into the streets of London and realize for the first time how young the policemen look.

 

People ask me what I’d most appreciate getting for my eighty seventh birthday.

I tell them, a paternity suit.

 

From our birthday, until we die, Is but the winking of an eye.

CoinJar Receives Australia's First Major Bitcoin Investment

/in , /by


Melbourne, VIC (PRWEB) December 02, 2013

CoinJar, a consumer Bitcoin exchange and digital wallet provider, has secured a round of equity investment from several prominent Australian technology investors.

Leading the investment is Niki Scevak of Blackbird Ventures. Other investors include entrepreneur Torsten Hoffman; RetailMeNot founders, Guy King and Bevan Clark; game developer Rob Murray; and serial technology investor Chris Hitchen. The combined investment is reportedly in the region of $ 500,000 AUD.

“Bitcoin is a game-changer, but the process of buying, selling and using Bitcoin is still relatively hard. CoinJar changes that by making Bitcoin more accessible and, eventually much more useful. Their approach of offering a secure consumer wallet and merchant payment capability for bitcoin in addition to a liquid exchange is what makes them interesting; as consumer and business adoption of Bitcoin becomes more mainstream, CoinJar is well-placed to be a significant participant,” said investor, Chris Hitchen. “The team, product and vision are all strong and I’m excited to be involved.”

The Melbourne based startup co-founded by Asher Tan and Ryan Zhou operates a platform where users can buy, sell and transact in bitcoin. It also provides merchant services for those looking to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment.

Bitcoin companies have gained strong interest from venture capital firms around the world as interest in the cryptocurrency, along with its price, has risen to new heights. China and Singapore are among the countries which have recently seen a wave of Bitcoin related investment deals.

“Bitcoin is moving past a purely speculative play. It is only a matter of time until business and consumers take full advantage of Bitcoin as a solution to digital payments,” said Asher Tan, co-founder and CEO of CoinJar. The company has already seen partnerships with a wide-range of goods and services providers including Australian utility vehicle producer Tomcar and crowd funding website, Pozible.

With over 10,000 Australian users, the company is looking to expand globally. CoinJar is a graduate of Australian startup incubator, AngelCube.

About CoinJar

CoinJar, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, is a consumer-oriented bitcoin wallet and exchange. The website is available at (https://www.coinjar.com). CoinJar for iPhone is available free on the Apple App Store at (http://bit.ly/1atsp7t).







Home Building Quotes – Whoa! First Things First – What You Must Do Before Getting That Quote

/in , /by

Ready to build your dream home? How do you get from the dream to the bottom line… the cost to make it happen?

I can certainly empathize with you in your desire to know what a home building (or remodeling) project will cost before you get too far along in your planning. After all, you don’t want to plan for something that you cannot afford or for which you are not willing to put out the money.

The Preparations Leading to an Accurate Home Building Quote

Here are the steps to take in preparation for getting an accurate General Contractor quote for building your home. It will take some time and it will involve industry professionals. I advise people to take most or all of these steps. In the long run, it’ll pay off in spades.

1) Understand the real estate market where you will be building your home.

Each real estate market has its own flavor. Each market has its building styles and general labor cost range. You must know your market and know how your home will fit into it and know what uniqueness you want to achieve.

2) Make decisions about the general quality you want in your home.

The quality you put into your home will be reflected in the cost to build it. Will you build your home with low-end fixtures, finishing, and structural materials? Do you plan on high end materials? This decision will have a huge effect on the eventual bidding and quoting process. Decide early on!

3) Find a house plan or floor plan that is close to what you want.

At this stage in your preparations, you should find a floor plan that also shows what the exterior looks like. What you’re looking for here is a fairly close replica of what you want to create.

These will not be complete. You’re just looking for a reasonable facsimile.

4) Get a general idea of the cost per square foot to build this type house in your market.

Your next step is to get a basic idea of the cost to build based on what you know so far. Knowing the market, the size and style, the quality and the lay-out, you can now talk with industry professionals to get a rough estimate of the cost per square foot to build it.

Some of the professionals you might speak with include: Architects, builders, real estate agents that work closely with builders, structural engineers, and developers. If you speak with enough of these professionals, you will get a decent idea of the potential cost to build.

5) Have blueprints created by and architect or purchase a complete set of house plans.

Armed with the approximate cost per square foot, you now know if your project is feasible. At this point it’s safe to either buy a full set of blueprints or go to an architect or residential designer to have the blueprints created to your specifications. Make sure the blueprints are complete and specify materials choices and follow building codes.

6) Create a detailed “take-off” (which is a complete materials list) from the set of blueprints.

This materials list will assist you or your builder in pricing out the complete package of materials for the home. Some of the materials will be provided by various subcontractors so be aware of this and don’t add these up twice!

7) Get at least three complete home building quotes from General Contractors.

Once you’ve taken all these steps, you can now get your building quotes. By preparing in this way, you’re going to get better bids and you won’t be comparing apples to oranges. Every contractor will understand exactly what you’re after.

Use the Same Process for Major Remodels

With minor adaptations, you can use this same process to get accurate quotes for a major remodel. With smaller home improvements, you can omit a lot of these steps. For instance, an upgrade to your bathroom will not likely require blueprints or General Contractors.

But, a major remodel or home addition will likely require blueprints, materials take-off lists, and someone to manage the entire project. So, the same attention to detail and proper preparation is critical.

Take your time. You’ll feel in control of your project. And that’s a great feeling!

You can learn so much more about home building and remodeling online. One great option is to take advantage of a very informative yet simple to follow *free* e-course that you can find by clicking here http://www.DreamHomeCreation.com. You will also find other tips and tools, surveys, videos, and additional articles by Mel Inglima.

NeuroTrax Invites APA Meeting Attendees to Help Create Insight, the Worlds First Online, Crowd-Sourced Cognitive Testing Service

/in , /by

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 19, 2013

Reliable and practical office-based measurement of cognitive function has become critical for healthcare and disease management programs involving psychiatric and neurological disease. NeuroTrax Corporation, a pioneer in web-based cognitive assessment since 2000, is creating a next-generation service to help healthcare practitioners and organizations to more quickly and accurately assess cognitive status.

From its booth (#847) at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association this week in San Francisco, NeuroTrax will be conducting a specialized survey to tap-in to the impressive “brain power” and experience of the more than 13,000 psychiatrists, neurologists and other professionals expected to attend the event from all over the world.

Using results from the survey, along with a strong scientific foundation of 70 peer-reviewed articles developed over years for its popular MindStreams service (http://www.neurotrax.com), NeuroTrax will complete the development of Insight™, a suite of services for evaluation of conditions ranging from memory complaints common to the elderly, to adolescent/adult attention issues.

Planned for international release later this year, Insight will be the world’s first online cognitive testing service to provide professional data review reports from trained cognitive testing experts.

Insight is designed to deliver accurate, valid cognitive functioning assessments, providing a comprehensive brain health report across multiple cognitive domains. Administered in a medical office setting with only minimal supervision required, the test is designed for patients of a wide age range, with or without prior computer experience. Test results, along with a professional report from a cognitive expert, are expediently generated by the service.

“Over the years, we have seen an increased awareness of the importance of obtaining a clear snapshot of the patient’s cognitive status as an important extension of the neurological examination. However, too many patients with complaints of poor memory or difficulty concentrating do not have access to quality testing,” said Ely Simon, M.D., a board certified neurologist and creator of Insight. “By combing the results from our survey, new technology, and a body of science and research developed over many years, we aim to create a new generation of readily accessible cognitive testing and expert reporting, which will benefit practitioners and their patients.”

ABOUT NEUROTRAX

NeuroTrax Corporation was founded in 2000, driven by the vision of elevating the standard of patient care. The company delivers quality cognitive testing products and services to the medical community. With careful attention to cutting edge technology and critical scientific studies, NeuroTrax has succeeded in leading the way in this growing field.

First Command Offers Six Tips for Saving Money

/in , /by

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

    Tip #1: Establish specific goals for things you really want. Saving as a matter of principle just doesn’t provide the necessary motivation for most people. You must have definite goals – things you really wish to have.

Tip #2: Set definite deadlines for reaching your goals. Be realistic about how much will be required to reach your goals. How soon will you need it?

Tip #3: Pay yourself first – fundamental to every financial plan. When you make out the checks to pay the bills, don’t put yourself last. You may never get three. Make that first check out to yourself.

Tip #4: Get your money out of sight and out of mind. Automatic bank drafts are an excellent means to this end.

Tip #5: Establish specific accounts for each separate goal. If you have two or more basic objectives, establish two or more accounts to achieve them.

Tip #6: Stick with your plan. The best plan in the world is useless if it is not activated or if it is abandoned. If your goals are meaningful to you, you must stick with your original plan.

Tynker Launches World's First At-home Visual Programming Course for Elementary and Middle School Students

/in , /by


Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2013

Tynker (http://www.Tynker.com), a leading education startup that enables schools and teachers to help children develop programming skills and computational thinking using a visual approach, today announced the introduction of Tynker™ for Home. Tynker for Home follows the highly successful introduction of Tynker™ for Schools in April of this year. To date, hundreds of schools and thousands of teachers have used Tynker for School in their classrooms to help students create animated stories, physics games, math-based art and more.

“Teachers and parents alike share our vision of enabling children to learn programming so they can become makers for the digital age,” said Krishna Vedati, Founder and CEO of Tynker, “Since launching Tynker for Schools to unprecedented demand, the most common request from students and parents was for a version of Tynker that could be accessed at home. So we significantly advanced our release schedule and are introducing Tynker for Home so kids can begin discovering and learning programming skills in their own homes and share their pursuits in real-time with their parents.”

The at-home edition of Tynker is built on the same visual programming platform as Tynker for Schools, but designed specifically to make self-paced learning at home easy and engaging for children. To launch Tynker for Home, the company partnered with Dave McFarland, author of several programming books from O’Reilly including the highly popular “The Missing Manual” series for Javascript and CSS. Working with Tynker, McFarland created an Introduction to Programming course that children will find challenging and fun to work through. The course’s 16 chapters are filled with self-guided lessons, puzzles, tutorials, quizzes, challenge missions and training videos.

Parents can enroll their children into the Introduction to Programming course at http://www.Tynker.com. The completely self-paced course is designed for children in fourth through eighth grades and costs $ 50 per student. The course never expires, and tuition also includes unlimited use of the Tynker Workshop—Tynker’s unique programming platform, game design tools, character gallery and multi-media library, with more than 5,000 sounds, animations, images and scenes.

The Introduction to Programming course covers basic programming concepts: creating scenes, playing sounds, moving characters, conditionals and repetition, animation, handling keyboard and mouse events, pen drawing, collision detection, keeping score and more. Students are introduced to the concepts in an interactive framework with narration, videos, guided tutorials and projects. Students are also encouraged to innovate and build their own projects, and are assessed when they solve coding puzzles and take quizzes during the course. When students complete the course, they can keep experimenting and using the Tynker platform to program additional apps and games, building on the skills they learned in the course.

“When my 8-year-old excitedly pulled me to the computer last evening and showed me the projects he has created on Tynker, I was totally blown away!” said Brian Guan, parent of a child in the Palo Alto School District. “Being a geek dad, I’ve always wanted to teach my boys how to program, but was afraid that it was too soon. So when I saw my son build a project right in front of me, my jaw dropped. Thanks, Tynker, for showing us this wonderful tool!”

About Tynker

Tynker helps children develop programming and computational thinking skills in a fun, intuitive and imaginative way. Tynker builds a strong foundation in STEM skills (science, technology, engineering and math) and other critical thinking abilities, preparing children for 21st century degrees, careers and lives. Tynker’s innovative visual programming language, interactive self-paced tutorials, and the engaging Tynker Workshop empower children to create complex and creative projects.

Tynker was founded by a seasoned team of technology entrepreneurs who realized what they wanted most now was to give children the critical life skills of design thinking and programming, to become makers for the technologies of tomorrow. Tynker is based in Mountain View, CA and is backed by 500 Startups, Cervin Ventures, Felicis Ventures, GSV Capital, NEA, New School Ventures, and prominent angel investors.

Additional Quotes About Tynker

“Tynker has become one of the most popular activities in my technology curriculum,” said Don Fitz-Roy, Director of Computing at WNS Schools. “Children share what they have learned. The addition of a simple physics engine is a welcome addition for budding game designers. I have seen my students motivated like never before.”

“We believe at the Children’s Creativity Museum that the success of the next generation hinges not only on what they know,” said Michael Nobleza, Executive Director of the Children’s Creativity Museum, San Francisco, “but also on their ability to think and act creatively. Tynker’s interactive and engaging products foster the kind of creative thinking that today’s youth need to be successful as tomorrow’s technological innovators.”
