Popular Text to Speech program is the perfect solution for iPhones (TM), iPods (R) and other devices. Clemmons, NC (PRWEB) July 12, 2007 — With the recent release of the next generation of portables like Apple’s enormously popular iPhone (TM), there’s never been a better time for people to discover the power of Text to Speech products like NextUp.com (www.NextUp.com) software TextAloud.

They become not just valued, but invaluable.” In addition to a host of useful features, TextAloud even offers specific enhancements especially for users who use the program to listen to their emails in Microsoft Outlook (R), another highly useful feature for iPhone (TM) users.

My friend, Ed, sent me an email asking for tips on travel to Brazil. He’s going there in August with his wife and kids. They’re lucky enough to know people there and will be staying with friends in Sao Paolo and in the central part of the country. They’ll be there 2-3 weeks and, wrote Ed, “We’ll finish up with an Amazon trip — still looking at providers. Any recommendations if you’ve been down that way…”

South America is a wonderful destination and, to quote a tour guide at Iguacu Falls, Brazil, “Brazilians like Americans and think they’re friendly people. Tell your friends that Brazil is a good place to travel to!” I’ve found the same feeling of welcome in the other five South American countries I’ve visited (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina and Chile. True, as the world watches the situation in Iraq devolve further into a moral and military morass, there will be protests, as there were recently in Santiago. Even last summer, when I was in Santiago, buildings around the city hosted graffiti that read, “Bush es el terrorista”). Don’t let our government’s agenda deter you from exploring your planet. Be a good ambassador. And trust your intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, get out of the way.

So, some recommendations for Ed and anyone else considering travel to fabulous South America. Ed’s staying with friends, so he doesn’t need a package tour. For those who do, I highly recommend SmarTours, based in New York City. My family took their Brazil, Chile and Argentina tour, and it was outstanding. The value for the money spent is simply unbeatable. There were some 30 people on our tour, experienced globetrotters all, and many of them were on their fourth or fifth SmarTour. I’ll travel with them again and am currently scoping out their Vietnam/Cambodia trip.

If you prefer to travel independently, it’s easy to arrange sightseeing once you arrive in South America. I traveled independently to both Ecuador and Bolivia and booked guides, drivers and rail trips from the official tourist offices located in Quito and La Paz. You do not need to have everything arranged before you leave the States. Get yourself a plane ticket and book accomodation for the first few nights, then book your sightseeing locally, saving a lot of money. Your hotel can point you to the tourist office or to reputable local travel agencies.

For Ed’s trip, he’ll likely fly between Brazilian destinations. The country is staggeringly large, and air is really the only way to go unless you have months to spend. A good place to gather basic information is Embratur, the Brazilian Tourism Ministry. With apologies to Ed’s friends who live there, Sao Paolo is not where you want to hang out. With a population in excess of 18 million, it’s bigger than many countries. When you fly into or out of Sao Paolo, you fly for quite a while before the city and its sprawling reach of suburbs finally disappear beneath you. Sao Paolo is, however, an excellent air hub for flights around Brazil. You’ll use the city’s domestic airport for intra-Brazil flights. Two destinations I highly recommend flying to are Rio de Janeiro and Iguacu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s national wonders (photo below).

From Sao Paolo, you’ll fly into the city of Foz do Iguacu. (You won’t land if there’s fog in Foz. We got all the way to the falls and had to turn back and try again in the morning. That thwarted night flight over the deep, black Brazilian jungle was one of the five most terrifying flights of my life — funky fodder for another post…).

At Iguacu (Iguassu, Iguazu), stay at the stunningly-sited Hotel Tropical das Cataratas. (Google searching for this hotel yields a handful of aliases — Tropical Iguacu Falls Hotel; Tropical das Cataratas; Das Cataratas Hotel –I never actually found an official hotel website. Make sure the hotel you book is the one located at Br 469, Km 28, Foz Do Iguacu. The phone is 455 231 108, and it’s the hotel in this picture. ) Why splurge and stay here? Simple: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The falls are outside the door. An experience you will never forget.

Ed wants to finish up his South American odyssey with a trip to the Amazon. You can have an Amazon experience in either Peru or Brazil. I spent several nights at the Amazon Safari Camp, upriver from Iquitos, Peru. You can fly to Iquitos, a former rubber boomtown with a frontier, Fitzcarraldo-like feel to it, and book a stay at a river camp. Or, if you want to stay in Brazil, fly to Manaus, the heart of Brazilian Amazonia, and book a river stay from there.

Ed mentioned in his email that he was “looking at providers” to travel with. The Internet makes it both easy and difficult to find reputable travel and tour companies. Easy, because of the proliferation of websites. Difficult, because of the proliferation of websites. You can find a ton of stuff, but you’re not sure exactly what it is you’ve found.

A few tips. First, consider not booking over the Web. As I suggested above, get yourself to a jumping-off-point destination and then book tours locally from the tourist bureau or a reputable travel agency. If you’re standing in a brick and mortar tour office talking to a live human, you can get a pretty good sense of things. If you do want to book ahead, do what I did when I booked a do-it-yourself Kenyan safari over the Web with a company (Star Tours) in Nairobi. First, I looked for tour operators approved by the major Kenyan tour operators’ association (KATO). Then, I emailed several that seemed interesting. I evaluated the companies based on how I felt about our “email relationship.” I asked lots of questions. Did they respond? How quickly? How thoroughly? Were they polite? Bottom line — how did they “feel” to me? I got a “good feeling” from Star Tours, and my family was rewarded with a fabulous, private Kenyan safari at a fraction of the cost of booking through a US operator.

Finally, read this article about shopping the Web for tour operators. Written by a Peruvian operator, the advice makes sense. And, visit one of my favorite travel sites, www.TripAdvisor.com. Real travelers offer nearly a million unbiased and highly informative opinions on hotels, resorts, attractions and tours. The site’s a bit unwieldy,chock- full as it is with information, but once you perfect your search method, you’ll uncover a bonanza of useful reviews.

Well, Ed, this post’s for you. Hope it’s helpful. Thanks for asking.

If you like reading about brilliant creative types the way I do, then you’ll want to check out ‘You’ll Think I’m A Madman’, an extensive feature in the Guardian Unlimited about Karl Lagerfeld. It picks up where last year’s New York Magazine’s article, Karl Lagerfeld, Boy Prince of Fashion left off.

I am a huge admirer of Karl Lagerfeld, and have long been in awe of his prodigious creative output–here’s an excerpt:

“Until recently, Lagerfeld produced eight collections a year for Chanel, five for the Italian luxury label Fendi, and several for labels under his own name - a staggering workload. In 2002, he added an extra Chanel show to his schedule: a high-end ready-to-wear collection designed to profile the work of the Paris metiers d’art - the ateliers that create, by hand, the embroideries, beading, tulle flowers, hats and shoes on which couture designers rely. The first of these so called ’satellite’ collections was shown in 2002, in Paris, and it was such a commercial success that Chanel decided to give similar shows a permanent place on its calendar and to stage them in different cities.

Lagerfeld’s ability to create so much clothing for three different labels makes him unique among fashion designers, but he is also a photographer whose work appears in glossy magazines around the world. He shoots the Chanel press kits and catalogues that accompany the collections, as well as fine-art photography, which he periodically displays in galleries. (He recently had a solo exhibition in Berlin.) An avid reader in four languages - English, French, German, and Italian - Lagerfeld also publishes books; his imprint, a division of the German house Steidl, is called Edition 7L, and a few years ago he opened a bookstore, also called 7L on the rue Lille. Edition 7L has published 41 titles, on subjects that range across his many interests, which include (besides fashion and photography) literature, humour, advertising, music, mythology, illustration and architecture. Some have a bracing impracticality: an anthology of the first 10 years of the magazine Interview weighed 43kg and was packaged in a wooden trolley of Lagerfeld’s devising.

In 2002, however, Lagerfeld published a best seller, The Karl Lagerfeld Diet, which he co-wrote with his physician, Jean-Claude Houdret.

Via Gene Expression, three essays on intelligence and education by Charles Murray. Yes, I know they appeared on the WSJ editorial page, and yes, I know what book Murray co-authored back in the 90’s. Nevertheless, there’s sometimes value in what he writes. At least, he’s willing to raise some important issues that others dare not. Some excerpts below. Warning, not for the politically correct ability egalitarians who think anyone can play basketball like Michael Jordan or compose music like Mozart if they just try hard enough. If you don’t like his continued use of IQ as a measure of intelligence, just pretend you have your own measure (or even measures) and substitute it each time he writes “IQ”, keeping in mind your measure will have an average - let’s call it “100″ for simplicity - and probably be roughly normally distributed, as most human traits are.

1) What fraction of the population is capable of absorbing a university education or mastering college-level material? It might be smaller than the proportion attending college today.

To have an IQ of 100 means that a tough high-school course pushes you about as far as your academic talents will take you. If you are average in math ability, you may struggle with algebra and probably fail a calculus course. If you are average in verbal skills, you often misinterpret complex text and make errors in logic.

These are not devastating shortcomings. You are smart enough to engage in any of hundreds of occupations. You can acquire more knowledge if it is presented in a format commensurate with your intellectual skills. But a genuine college education in the arts and sciences begins where your skills leave off.

In engineering and most of the natural sciences, the demarcation between high-school material and college-level material is brutally obvious. If you cannot handle the math, you cannot pass the courses. In the humanities and social sciences, the demarcation is fuzzier. It is possible for someone with an IQ of 100 to sit in the lectures of Economics 1, read the textbook, and write answers in an examination book. But students who cannot follow complex arguments accurately are not really learning economics. They are taking away a mishmash of half-understood information and outright misunderstandings that probably leave them under the illusion that they know something they do not. (A depressing research literature documents one’s inability to recognize one’s own incompetence.) Traditionally and properly understood, a four-year college education teaches advanced analytic skills and information at a level that exceeds the intellectual capacity of most people.

There is no magic point at which a genuine college-level education becomes an option, but anything below an IQ of 110 is problematic. If you want to do well, you should have an IQ of 115 or higher. Put another way, it makes sense for only about 15% of the population, 25% if one stretches it, to get a college education. And yet more than 45% of recent high school graduates enroll in four-year colleges. Adjust that percentage to account for high-school dropouts, and more than 40% of all persons in their late teens are trying to go to a four-year college–enough people to absorb everyone down through an IQ of 104.

2) On the highly intelligent fraction and their contributions to society.

If “intellectually gifted” is defined to mean people who can become theoretical physicists, then we’re talking about no more than a few people per thousand and perhaps many fewer. They are cognitive curiosities, too rare to have that much impact on the functioning of society from day to day. But if “intellectually gifted” is defined to mean people who can stand out in almost any profession short of theoretical physics, then research about IQ and job performance indicates that an IQ of at least 120 is usually needed. That number demarcates the top 10% of the IQ distribution, or about 15 million people in today’s labor force–a lot of people.

In professions screened for IQ by educational requirements–medicine, engineering, law, the sciences and academia–the great majority of people must, by the nature of the selection process, have IQs over 120. Evidence about who enters occupations where the screening is not directly linked to IQ indicates that people with IQs of 120 or higher also occupy large proportions of positions in the upper reaches of corporate America and the senior ranks of government. People in the top 10% of intelligence produce most of the books and newspaper articles we read and the television programs and movies we watch. They are the people in the laboratories and at workstations who invent our new pharmaceuticals, computer chips, software and every other form of advanced technology.

Combine these groups, and the top 10% of the intelligence distribution has a huge influence on whether our economy is vital or stagnant, our culture healthy or sick, our institutions secure or endangered. Of the simple truths about intelligence and its relationship to education, this is the most important and least acknowledged: Our future depends crucially on how we educate the next generation of people gifted with unusually high intelligence.

How assiduously does our federal government work to see that this precious raw material is properly developed? In 2006, the Department of Education spent about $84 billion. The only program to improve the education of the gifted got $9.6 million, one-hundredth of 1% of expenditures. In the 2007 budget, President Bush zeroed it out.

Just to clarify for Murray: he’s not proposing a hard cutoff in IQ for any particular achievement (becoming a chip designer, writing a senior thesis on French literature), but merely that the fraction of people capable of that achievement with IQ below the value he gives is very small (e.g., very few medical researchers with IQ less than 120). Therefore, we can use the estimated value as a way to guess what percentage of the general population is sufficiently capable. There are of course other factors involved in success at a particular task than raw cognitive ability (motivation, organization, communication skills, …). See earler post on success vs ability.

For more on theoretical physicists, see here. This will sound terribly arrogant (so shoot me), but Murray’s estimate of few per thousand is way too high. That’s about the ability level of the average Caltech undergrad, and I would guess only the top 5-10% of students there could be theoretical physicists.

If you think that buying a pair of hiking boots is difficult, then just wait until it comes to getting a suitable pair of hiking socks.Now socks are socks, right? Well, when it comes to hiking, grabbing any old pair of sports socks out of the drawer simply won’t work. Unfortunately, sports socks are not hiking socks and you don’t want to wear the same socks that you use for jogging or playing football when you head off on a lengthy hike.Good hiking sock need to be comfortable but they also need to be thick and very hard wearing with terrific thermal and moisture-wicking properties. Remember that, even if you are just hiking modest distances at the weekends, you’ll probably cover getting on for 1,000 miles in a year and you should expect a good pair of hiking socks to last just about that distance.Most importantly, you want your socks to provide you with comfort for that 1,000 miles. Problems such as chafing, blisters other foot damage can quickly turn a two or three mile hike back to your car into sheer agony if your socks aren’t up to the job.Good moisture-wicking is also an absolute must. ‘Wicking’ is a process similar to that provided by the wick in an old-fashioned oil lamp and simply means drawing sweat off the surface of your feet to keep them dry. If your socks don’t do this, you will develop chafing, blisters, fungi and other less pleasant results. And, if you’re worrying about bad smelling feet, this will be a minor issue - we’re talking about real health problems here.Whether you’re spending a lot of time hiking, or just undertaking short hikes at the weekend, you will also need good thermal properties from your socks. In hot weather your socks have to conduct heat away from your foot and out through your boot and, in cold weather, they need to keep your feet at a comfortable temperature.It might seem strange to think that one pair of socks could cope with both hot and cold conditions, but modern materials and manufacturing technology means that this is indeed possible today.A good starting point when looking for a pair of hiking socks is to start with cotton, which is one of nature’s materials that offers the range of attributes you are looking for. However, clever engineers have now been able to improve on Mother Nature and blends, such as Lycra, wool and others, combined with micro-geometry manufacturing, can also produce hiking socks with great support and comfort, excellent thermal control and superior moisture-wicking.All hiking socks should also have thickened areas around the toe, ankle and heel as these are the area that will get the most wear. You should also make sure that there are no ridges, particularly near the toes or at the ankle bone. Ridges can irritate your feet as quick as a stone in your boot. Socks should also be long enough to come well above the top of your boot so that they can be folded down.All socks will lose elasticity at the top and often folding them down over the top of the boot is necessary to stop them sliding inside the boot as you walk. Despite this fact, you should still try to buy socks which will not lose their elasticity too quickly.Hiking socks are not cheap and you can expect to pay $10 a pair, or more, for a decent pair. Nevertheless, this is one investment that, like your hiking boots, is well worth the cost and you should arm yourself with at least three or pairs of hiking socks and always carry at least one spare pair with you in your backpack.Joining your local hiking club will put the resources of the club at your disposal and allow you to get advice and information on all aspects of hiking.

TAGS : Search Engine Optimization; SEO; Keyword Density; Link Popularity; Competitive Keywords; Online Marketing; Website Submission By: Ref-DemSearch Engines are all the time HIGHEST FREE TRAFFIC generators. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the core for any successful Online Marketing Odyssey. Just designing a niche and good content site with plenty of highly competitive keywords staffing never deludes the responsibilities of a webmaster. Rather his responsibilities starts here! The webmasters have to take into account of some of the broad-based factors like- PageRank, Link Popularity etc etc. After designing and developing a website, the most critical buzzword that brainstorms the webmasters is the SEO. Giving importance to some of the on-page SEO factors and becoming more SE friendly, every webmaster can overlap the Brainstorming and never have to loose money in hiring a professional SEOer.What is Keyword Density ? Keyword Density is just an on-page SEO criteria that determines the Page Rank of a website. Keyword density is a measure of the number of times your keyword appears on a page expressed as a percentage of the total word-count of that page. Keyword Density = Count of a particular keyword or keyphrase / Total number of keywords or keyphrases in the page.Suppose, your keyphrase “affiliate program” occurred in your webpage 5 times and your total number of keywords or keyphrases is 225. Then your keyword density = 5/200 or 0.025% only. There are lots of elaboration regarding the Optimum Keyword Density among the SEO experts, as there is no written documentation. Till the date of writing the article, this is what I am fanatically looking about. But my regrets, I couldn’t find out accurate answer till date. Can anybody acknowledge me??While surfing the net, however I got an article submitted by respected SEO expert Wayne Hurlbert at Webpronews.com, where he coins out 2% as the Optimum Keyword Density level for Google and 5% as ideal Keyword Density level for Yahoo and MSN. He adds that exceeding the limit of 2% is subject to penalty by Google! However, this is a halftone picture of the whole landscape.GoRank.com, GoogleRankings.com, Webconfs.com, SeoChat.com are a few of the free keyword density analyzers -all that I can recommend for your better analysis. I have used and found results out of them. You can use Alexa.com or PubSub.com. The advantage of PubSub.com over Alexa.com is that, you can use the first for indexing your blog or sites with sub-domain name.Five Easy But Effective Tips for Better Search Engine PageRanking :First, before writing content pages search the most competitive keywords matching your theme keyword through SBI Search-it tool developed by Ken Evoy. Suppose your theme keyword is “Free Affiliate Program”. Plant the keyword in the Title and Meta tag of the webpage. Now search the other competitive keywords relevant to the Keyword “Free Affiliate Program” through SBI Search-it. SBI Search-it will provide a list hundreds of keywords according to their competitiveness in descending order based on your theme keyword. ( In my instance of selected keyword- “Free Affiliate Program”, a list of competitive keywords will crop up like - best affiliate program, affiliate program software, casino affiliate, online affiliate program, pay per click affiliate program , Internet marketing affiliate program, affiliate marketing program ,web master affiliate program, free online affiliate program etc.)Now choose any two most competitive but closely related keywords relative to your theme keyword. Plant the keywords overand over again in every prominent place of the webpage, including Meta Tag, Description, Title, Anchor Text, ALT tag etc. While plastering the keywords in the page be cautious, so that it is not hampering the flow of your content. Second, use a site map page and see that every webpage is cross-linked to the main page. Some Search Engines like Google weighs this kind of inbound linking. Use some extra formatting on the selected keywords according to convenience. Some reputed SEOers suggests formatting on the keywords and placing of the keywords on the start of the page.Third, if you have successfully plant the first range of most competitive keywords, select the second range of less competitive keywords and sprint on the newly created webpages. Never apply Door-away strategies or any other kind of Keyword manipulation. This would rather bring you to trial by Google or other major SEs.Fourth, analyze your keyword density and Search Engine ranking regularly, at least after every posting. Measure and keep track of changes in the ranking accrued out of every consecutive posting. In case of any declination of Search Engine ranking, please verify your keyword placement strategies instantly. Otherwise you are loosing money and traffic. For maximum free targetted traffic from the SEs, you must have to work planfully, so that your site is linked on the first page of the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).Fifth, keyword density and link popularity are not two different contravening factors of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Rather, they are complement to each other. Proper blending of content rich webpages, with highest keyword proximity and link popularity can propel your site’s ranking at SEs undoubtedly. Link popularity refers to the number and quality of the incoming links that are pointing to one site. If the pointing site is from an authenticated and high ranked site, more popularity points will be credited to your site by the SEs. The importance of inbound or in-pointing links from some credible site is growing more and more these days, as some of the major SEs are factoring inbound links as part of formulating ranking algorithm. To know more about link popularity please refer to the previous post at my blog : http://refdem.blogspot.com/2005/10/want-google-ranking-increase-your.html.

Ouch, this is going to hurt Mitt Romney quite badly. Seems his sons are dedicated members of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders:”The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that’s the way we’re going to keep it,” Romney told some 200 people gathered in an abbey near the Mississippi River that had been converted into a hotel. “My sons are all adults and they’ve made decisions about their careers and they’ve chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard.”

He added: “One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.”

Romney’s five sons range in age from 37 to 26 and have worked as real estate developers, sports marketers and advertising executives. They are now actively campaigning for their father and have a “Five Brothers” blog on Romney’s campaign Web site.Good to know me and the Romney brothers are all fighting the terrorists on the blogs before they attack us.

I usually shy away from the “chickenhawk” stuff, as it’s a pretty cold comment, but goodness what an offensive thing for Romney to say. If he can’t handle a reporter in Iowa, how’s he going to handle al-Qaeda?

People who support Mitt Romney with large sums of money should really just hang their heads in shame now. How pathetic. The Mittster got out of Vietnam and now his sons are too good to serve as well.

But remember, there is no such thing as “class” in America. Well, not if you’re part of the ultra-wealthy corporate class anyhow. You get to “serve your country” by helping Daddy try to become President.

I know there are people in the world who are simply not interested in children and don’t like being around them. I can understand - kids can be a real handful and honestly, pretty annoying at times. But there are times when I am amazed that people can be so anti-child, especially with nothing provoking the response.

Today we were out at the mall, and decided to stop for lunch. We got our table, and Cordy was, at that moment, not interested in sitting down to eat. She cried for a couple of minutes, until we could settle in and find something to distract her. A banana did the trick, followed by crayons and paper to draw on. There was only one other occupied table in our area - a college-aged woman and an older woman. At one point while Cordy was crying, I made eye contact with the younger woman, who gave me a smile of understanding.

Only a few minutes later, all was happy and peaceful at our table. Cordy had a cup of milk to drink, and was spending her time coloring while Aaron and I chatted.

Five minutes later, the hostess comes by with an older couple, and tries to seat them at the table across from us. The woman quickly stops her and says, “No, we’d like somewhere more…quiet.” During that pause before the word “quiet” she turned around and glared at Cordy. The look could best be described as somewhere between I smell something bad and seething repulsion. The hostess offered to turn down the music in the restaurant before she understood the woman’s meaning and lead them to another section.

Aaron and I looked at each other and laughed. At the moment they came by, Cordy could have been the poster child for toddlers in public. She was quietly involved in coloring neatly on her paper, had her sippy cup of milk nearby without a drop spilling out of it, and the floor beneath her held no missing crayons, crumbs or other items from the tabletop. Not a sound was coming from her. I can only guess that this woman assumed that all children are loud and obnoxious, and fully expected Cordy to change into a screaming, food-throwing monster as soon as they sat down across from us.

(Or maybe she reads my blog and knows the tantrums Cordy is capable of? Nah, she didn’t look like the mommyblog-reading type.)

Did I point out that this is a family restaurant? As in, there is a large emphasis placed on children being there, with interesting knick-knacks on the walls, and an awesome kids menu coloring book. If the woman didn’t want to be around children, this was not the place to eat.

While we ate, several other families were seated, many with children. As we left, we looked around at the restaurant full of children and wondered where they managed to seat that couple that didn’t have kids around? We guessed they were next to the kitchen.
