Cornish Cowboys ? Blog Archive ? 3 Practical Home Improvement ...

There are many reasons that homeowners feel trapped simply because they own a house of their own. Sometimes money is tight, and spending it on energy efficient appliances is typically not in their budget. But in the long run, the savings realize from higher energy costs will make it worthwhile. Simply do what you can to make your house the best it can be - this is our recommendation. Simple energy efficiency related improvements can be sealing all the leaks in the attic. By adding this installation to the floor of the attic, as well as the ceiling, you can save quite a bit of money on your energy bill. Other projects may cost more money to do. You should attempt to do these after the installation is installed.

To add an attractive touch to your kids rooms is actually very easy. Just follow these steps as we are about to present. Wallpaper trim placed where the walls meet the ceiling, and wallpaper, can quickly alter their rooms appearance. Several companies focus solely upon wallpaper for children, making designs and colors that they will enjoy. Choosing patterns for these rooms usually begins with going on the Internet and finding websites with this type of wallpaper. If you have not seen rooms with this kind of trim, then you are in for a real treat. This is not the kind of decoration that overwhelms a room. It is your decision in the end. Choose wisely and also keep your childs interests in mind. This project, replacing the electrical covers, is only the first step - there are several other home improvement projects that you can start. Throughways, which lead from one room to another, and open doorways, can be trimmed out to improve your home interior. It is easy to do and will not cost that much, making it a great home improvement idea to consider. Many people will use a wooden trim to accentuate the doorways and throughways. The trim at the base of your walls should also be replaced to match the new trim that you are adding. All you have to do is hammer the trim into place. This will secure it for many years to come.

A more convoluted home improvement task is to build an eating bar in your kitchen. What you will need to do is remove a section of wall in your kitchen. Usually this space is about five feet off the floor and perhaps three or four feet high. Or, just scale the dimensions suitable so that it will accommodate your ceiling heights, etc. Next step is to just seal up the wall openings with drywall and place a countertop there and add stools as places to sit. All of that sounds pretty easy, and it is easy and will not cost much.

Truth be told, we are partial to the home improvement idea of installing an eating bar, as this will make the area more open and seem more spacious. It may sound like a huge and difficult project, but as you have just read there is hardly much to doing it. That is always the way it appears, things around the house often sound demanding. Simplifying things begins with expanding upon your knowledge and increasing your self-assurance.

Boost your productivity with the cloud | myBusiness techblog ...

The recent Budget 2012 is clear that productivity-driven, rather than labour-driven, growth will pave the way for Singapore?s future. The government has adopted a carrot- and-stick approach by tightening the foreign worker quota and incentivising innovation and productivity through enhancement of the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme. Tightening of foreign labour will raise costs and require businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) ? including small and medium-sized accounting firms ? to relook their processes and consider ways of raising productivity to be profitable. The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) is keen to explore ways of taking advantage of technology as part of its effort to enhance its members? productivity and increase the competitiveness of their businesses.

To do more with less, it is timely for SMEs in Singapore ? numbering some 154,000 ? to consider adopting cloud computing among various technologies. Put simply, cloud computing is the concept of creating access to office software, business applications and data online, managed by a third-party service provider.

Anyone who has shared information using Google Docs, Dropbox or hosted photos on Flickr would have come into contact with cloud computing. Cloud solutions can be accessed on any computer or mobile platform, anywhere in the world, as long as there is an Internet connection. With Singapore?s world-class telecommunications infrastructure, gaining access to new business and technology capabilities via the Web has become easier and cheaper.

The case for adopting cloud solutions is gaining momentum. According to a survey, SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) will invest US$16.5 billion in cloud computing solutions. Asean markets, with an annual growth potential of over 20 per cent in cloud investments, are expected to be the next fastest growing sub-region after China . Globally, 39 per cent of SMEs are expected to be paying for one or more cloud services within three years, up from 29 per cent now. This increase in the adoption rate reflects the numerous advantages of cloud computing.

Dumas Chin, SingTel?s vice-president of business sales, highlighted: ?With the advent of cloud computing, SMEs are finally able to access much needed info-communications technology resources, which were previously available to much larger companies, at a fraction of the cost. Therefore, SMEs are able to improve their productivity, increase business agility and reduce their operating costs substantially.?

A big plus

Businesses have often wrestled with the challenge of high capital investments in hardware and software. With cloud computing, users need not buy or install any hardware to use the solutions. Instead, the infrastructure and software can be accessed on demand through Web portals, for which users pay a modest monthly subscription.

As an illustration, an SME with four employees need just pay a monthly subscription fee of only $29.90 for four SingTel QuickBooks Online user licences, with free local support and product upgrades. In contrast, a similar SME would have to fork out about $2,799 to acquire and install its own off-the-shelf financial and accounting package. This efficient and asset-light approach frees up cash flow for businesses, thus allowing them to channel their capital to more productive use. Thus, SMEs no longer need to invest in new hardware, software or employ any IT staff to get started on cloud solutions.

It is a big plus for employees to access their data and applications on secure online platforms from any mobile devices. This allows them (especially sales and marketing staff) to close deals, respond to customers and obtain market information more quickly. This mobility feature helps them stay ahead of the competition in today?s fast-paced environment. Further, SMEs do not have to worry about nor pay for continuous software upgrades, patch releases and software licence management. Unlike buying a fixed number of user licences for a conventional software package, cloud solutions allow SMEs to scale their usage according to business requirements, and its use is intuitive.

Currently, there are many technology service providers who offer a wide range of business cloud solutions. For example, QuickBooks Online solution is secure, Web-based, convenient and easy to use. This business accounting software for SMEs helps them organise their finances, send invoices to customers and generate profit- and-loss statements and balance sheets, among various things. SMEs can even update their customer information or check their business health on their mobile devices. The solution?s well-thought-out features make it intuitive to use. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, users do not need to customise computations to generate the figures. As the solution is compliant with local accounting standards, users need only key in the relevant figures to generate key business reports and file the Goods and Services Tax returns.

?By exploiting the full potential of cloud computing, an SME will get more bang for its buck and effect a formidable ?force multiplier? to face the competition in today?s challenging economic climate. If properly harnessed, cloud computing will enable SMEs to achieve the twin aims of raising their productivity and lowering business costs,? added Mr Chin.

Evan Law, acting CEO at ICPAS, highlighted: ?Similarly, small and medium-sized accounting firms may employ such hassle-free cloud solutions as their strategy to increase accessibility of work-related information offsite. This may help increase the work-life balance of their staff and enhance staff retention. It is important for these firms to stay ahead with new technologies to benefit their own practices and as a form of advisory service to clients.?

By capitalising on cloud computing, SMEs can generate new revenue streams as well as boost client satisfaction and loyalty with such value-adding services.

Recognising that SMEs stand to gain from technology solutions, the government has introduced financial incentives to encourage its take-up rate. There are at least two possible schemes, such as the Increase SME Productivity with Infocomm Adoption and Transformation (iSPRINT) and the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme.

For SMEs that are currently manual in all their operations and intending to implement information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for the first time, iSPRINT?supports up to 70 per cent of qualifying costs. Under PIC, companies are encouraged to raise productivity and innovation through the adoption of technology.

For instance, expenditure incurred on procuring cloud computing services will qualify for enhanced deduction under the heading of PIC automation equipment. This means that SMEs which adopt cloud computing will qualify for tax deduction at 400 per cent or up to $400,000 of qualifying expenditure incurred per year. With the enhancement of the PIC?in Budget 2012, companies can enjoy 60 per cent cash payout for up to $100,000 of the firm?s PIC expenditure on a quarterly basis.

Truly, this makes the productive and innovative deployment of technology even more appealing.

CASE STUDY: iGROW Pte Ltd

Mr Benedict Lim and his employees at iGROW Pte Ltd struggled for years with keeping their financial records up-to-date with an off-the-shelf financial and accounting software. Due to the high start-up cost and hassles of acquiring additional licences, the holistic wellness consultancy could only afford to install the financial software on one computer. This resulted in a bottleneck, which led to slower decision-making process, delayed invoicing of customers and needless overtime.

?We were at our wits end trying to source for another financial package which offered simplicity, security, customisation with the option of adding on future applications and most importantly, affordability. The replacement software also had to be accessible outside of the office as it would align our staff with our corporate culture of flexibility and work-life balance,? Mr Lim said.

He found the solution in a cloud-based financial and accounting solution. Having successfully transitioned his company onto the cloud computing platform, a relieved Mr Lim said, ?The new cloud computing financial and accounting package has revolutionised the way our company works. My staff and I adore its online access which means that we can login to the apps anytime from our homes and mobile devices.? What?s more, I can access important information within clicks, to manage my business effectively and make objective and swift decisions.

?A job which required hours to complete in the past can now be done in a matter of minutes. Looking at the number of man-hours saved from using the new cloud-based financial and accounting package, I reckon that iGROW has increased our productivity by at least 30%,? he chuckled.

Top 3 Internet Radio Sites to download radio

There are thousands of online radio stations on the websites. They all possess the unique characteristics of their own. However, they have a common shortcoming, that is, live broadcast. It broadcast only one time, and consequently people might not listen if they are busy with other important things. Download the radio becomes important for radio lovers and language learners.

BBC radio

When talk about radio, BBC must be mentioned. As is known to all, BBC is famous for its classic pronunciation, latest news and professional report. BBC Radio?is a service of the?British Broadcasting Corporation?which has operated in the?United Kingdom. BBC radio has a long history, and until now it is still a significant part of British Broadcasting Corporation products.

Listening to the BBC radio has gradually become one of my habits.

And I like BBC radio 4 most. While sometimes I find it is hard to keep up with the radio broadcasting pace. So I tried lots of means to record or download the radio on the specific time to listen it again and again, while the downloaded radio can not satisfy me for the long silence at the beginning of radio. Lucky enough, among the tools I tried, Hidownload is the best one, because there isn?t any silence or noise during the radio.

shoutcast

Another online radio station whose function is similar to BBC is shoutcast.com. Shoutcast?is?cross-platform?proprietary software?for?streaming media?over the Internet, primarily in?MP3?or?HE-AAC?format.

It provides Internet radio service and has countless radio audience around the world. And it is free. The music updated there are amazed me. Think of the last Valentine?s Day, he downloads a beautiful music and play it for me. When I heard the song, I was moved because it is a song quite important for me which I looking for nearly one months. He told me he downloaded it with Hidownload, the program I used to download BBC news. How unimaginable function it is.

live365

live365.com is an?Internet radio?network where members can create their own online radio station or listen to other Live365 broadcasters' online stations. Users also can listen to thousands of internet radio stations featuring online music in every style, including hip hop, jazz, new age, rock, classical, oldies, and more. The music radio there is indeed cool. So when I meet some sweet music or amazing songs, I can not wait to share my favorites with friends through many ways, such as Facebook, Twitter. I will use Hidownload to record and share with them.

The features of Hidownload I recommended above is

- download any sound you hear or movie you watch from internet website to your PC.

- supported Windows version, including NT4.0/+ SP6/2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7, etc. My PC windows version is Windows 7. To be frank, the operation process on my laptop is very smooth.

- unique sound separation technology eliminates background noises and the silence of buffer time and recording process. This advantage is why I like it so much.

- saved files as its original formats and original quality.

- No spyware, adware or viruses. So far, the files I had downloaded haven?t appeared any virus.

- Easy to install and use.

After downloading, the radio formats sometimes are not mp3, so I tried Streamingstar Converter to convert the downloaded formats to mp3, and then, save them to my mp3 player or iPod.

If you want more information about the downloader and converter, enter into the website http://www.streamingstar.com, http://www.hidownload.com, I sincerely hope these information helpful for you.

Interception of communications - Chorlton Liberal Democrat


This afternoon I received this email from Lynne Featherstone MP, Liberal Democrat Home Office Minister, which was sent out to all Lib Dem members about the concerning press reports about changes to the interception of communications.

"I wanted to write to reassure you that the current reports in the media about Government plans to snoop on your emails are complete nonsense.

Liberal Democrats have always been, and will continue to be, opposed to a centralised database that allows government to monitor your internet activity at will.

That is not going to happen under these proposals and never will happen in a government that includes me and the Liberal Democrats.

The proposals being considered would simply update the current rules ? which allow the police in criminal investigations to find out who was contacted and when ? to cover new forms of technology that didn?t even exist when the original laws were made, like Skype.

What this will not do is allow the government, or the police, or any other agencies, to read your emails and Facebook messages (or any other social media for that matter) at will. The content of your communications is currently, and will always be, protected by tough rules that mean a warrant is needed before any interception could take place.

Our party has a proud history of defending civil liberties which has continued in this Coalition Government.

We?ve scrapped ID cards, ended child detention for immigration purposes, stopped indefinite retention of innocent peoples? DNA, restored the right to protest in Parliament Square, scrapped control orders and ended 28-day detention without charge ? to name but a few!

And as long as Liberal Democrats are in Government we will continue to fight for everyday freedoms that our party has long held dear.

Yours,

Lynne

Ex-nurse convicted of bleach killings awaits fate

(AP) ? The punishment phase began Monday in the capital murder trial of an East Texas nurse who could go to death row for killing five kidney dialysis patients by injecting them with bleach.

Jurors who convicted Kimberly Saenz began hearing evidence to decide whether she receives life in prison without the chance of parole or lethal injection.

Saenz, 38, was convicted Friday of killing the patients and deliberately injuring five others at a clinic run by Denver-based health care giant DaVita Inc.

Photos of the victims were among the evidence introduced Monday by Angelina County District Attorney Clyde Herrington.

Prosecutors called only three witnesses before resting their case. All were Lufkin law enforcement officers who told of arresting Saenz for public intoxication and of citing her for criminal trespass, both related to domestic disturbances with her husband. Records introduced also showed her husband had filed for divorce and obtained an emergency protective order against her in June 2007, a year before the outbreak of death and illnesses at the Lufin Davita clinic.

Her lawyer, Steve Taylor, brought out in questioning that Saenz and her husband had reconciled.

Other records showed she had been fired from her job as a Lufkin hospital nurse after drugs showed up missing and were found in her purse. Her nursing license eventually was suspended. And prosecutors showed records she had submitted false information on a job application in 2009, indicating she worked at a roofing company during the years when she was a nurse.

Taylor also called more than a half dozen witnesses who attested to Saenz's participation in her two children's school work and athletics.

Vernon Warren, whose home was the scene of the domestic disturbance calls to police, said Saenz remained welcome there. Warren said he was dating Saenz's mother-in-law at the time of the incidents.

Other witnesses called on behalf of Saenz described how she attended church and continued to be active with her daughter, a fifth-grader, even after she was indicted on the murder charges.

Scott Bailey, her daughter's softball coach, said she attended baseball practices and "never had any concerns at all" about her presence around his daughter and other girls on the team.

Saenz was fired in April 2008 after a rash of illnesses and deaths at the clinic in Lufkin, about 125 miles northeast of Houston. Her lawyers argued Saenz wrongly took the blame for the clinic's sloppy procedures. Bleach is a commonly used disinfectant at the clinic.

Saenz would be the 10th woman among about 300 prisoners on Texas death row if jurors decide she should be put to death. Since the Civil War, three women have been executed in Texas, all since 1998.
