You can actually write an ebook without actually doing the writing. Because of an interesting legal twist, you can hire a writer, and then when the writer is finished, you own the complete copyright to the work. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost is! But there's something else that's almost too good to be true: having an ebook written doesn't cost near what it costs to have a hard cover book written. It's actually pretty affordable for someone who plans to recoup their money with ebook sales. One more almost-too-good-to-be-true fact: ebooks often sell for the same price that a traditional, hold-it-in-your-hand, book would sell for! No writing, no problem! Let me tell you a little about my story. As the Internet began taking over the world, dollar signs flashed almost constantly in the back of my mind. I did some research to see who was making money from this evolution. I ran across import companies, search engines, web-sitedevelopment/ hosting companies, and auction sites. That was a year ago. Now, more than ever, the Internet is starting to define business. People are actually paying for and downloading songs for their listening pleasure. People are researching, planning, and booking entire vacations online. People who love information are inhaling the Internet. Information is everywhere. Of course that presents a bit of a dilemma. Information overload. Part of the problem with researching the Internet is the information you glean during your surfing is highly if not completely unorganized. You do a Google search. You notice there are thousands of pages relevant to your search terms. So, you narrow your search by adding a word or two. Now you're down to several hundred pages. And you start clicking on them, one after the other.

Now, it is a great many years since arrow heads have been used, and they were never used by the people who own the land in which they appear or by their ancestors. To explain the presence of these roughly cut pieces of stone we must recall the weapons with which the Indians fought when Englishmen, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, and Spaniards first came to this part of the world. There may be no authentic history of Indians in the particular locality in which these old-fashioned weapons come to light, but their presence in the ground is the best kind of evidence that Indians once lived on these fields or were in the habit of hunting over them. In many parts of the country these arrow heads are turned up in great numbers; museums large and small are plentifully supplied with them; and they form part of the record of the men who once lived here, and of their ways of killing game and destroying their enemies. Wherever there are arrow heads there have been Indians. Among every people and in every language there are found stories, superstitions, traditions, phrases, which are not to be explained by the thoughts or ideas or beliefs of people now living; and the same stories, superstitions, phrases, are found among people as far apart as those of Norway and Australia. The people of to-day tell these stories or remember the superstitions or use the phrases without understanding where they came from or what they meant when first used. As the ground in some sections is full of arrow heads that have been buried no one knows how many centuries, so the poetry we read, the music we hear, the stories told us when we are children, have come down from a time in the history of man so early that there are in many cases no other records or remains of it. These stories vary greatly in details; they fit every climate and wear the peculiar dress of every country; but it is easy to see that they are made up of the same materials, and that they describe the same persons or ideas or things whether they are told in Greece or India or Norway or Brittany. Wherever they are found they make it certain that they come from a very remote time and grew out of ideas or feelings and ways of looking at the world which a great many men shared in common in many places.

The legality of sports betting tends to vary from country to country. In the United States, for example, "sports betting" is only legal in casinos in Nevada, while in many European countries sports gambling is legal though highly regulated. Sports betting is generally regarded as a hobby for fans of sports, increasing their interest in particular sporting events which can benefit the teams, the leagues and the players by creating higher attendance levels to the actual games, and larger television audiences. Aside from the simplest wages, most sports betting is done through a book maker. There are legal sports bookmakers all over the world, and in the United States they can be found in Las Vegas. There are also opportunities for online sports betting, although there is some ambiguity attached seeing as the bookmakers or "bookies" are generally operating outside of the country and there are some unresolved legal issues surrounding whether foreign bookmakers should accept bets from the United States. Bookmakers earn commission known as the vigorish by regarding the money at risk as less than the amount of the bet that was placed A common line is a $110 bet placed on a fair coin, paying $210 to win and $0 to lose. On this line, it will cost the bettor $220 in order to bet both sides of the same coin at the same time, but the combined bet will always pay out $210. The $10 loss is constituted by the vigorish. Bookmakers traditionally offer two different types of wagers on the winner of a sporting event, straight up or money line bets, and point spread wagers. Money lines and straight up bet prices are generally used to set the odds on events such as association football, hockey and baseball, individual vs. individual matches like boxing, and so on. For these sports, straight up odds are usually offered by bookmakers in Europe and Asia. These bets are quoted based on a payout for a single unit, such as a 2 to 1 favorite for example, that would be listed at a price of 1.50, whereas an underdog that returns twice the amount wagered would be listed at the price of 3.00. American bookmakers are much more likely to use money lines, which tend to be quoted in terms of the amount that is required to win $100 on a favorite, or the amount that is paid for a $100 bet that is placed on an underdog. The amount that is won in a bet like this is the net amount over and above the amount of the initial bet. If a person happens to win $200 dollars on a bet of $100 dollars, then the bookmaker will actually pay $300 to the winner, which is the $200 dollars plus the initial bet amount of $100. Bookmakers may use a dime line with money lines as a way to calculate the vigorish that they will receive on any wager that is losing.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap; When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of midday to objects below— When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

In the past, the technical limitations of HTML coding and the slowness of most Internet connections made it impractical to provide web users with any serious audio-visual experience. A page might feature an interesting table-based layout, an animated gif or two, a link to a RealAudio file for background streaming, or a few stray flashes of Java. For the most part, audio-visual techniques were used as novelties, signs to the browsing public that the site coder was technically savvy and that the site was cutting-edge. Audio-visual techniques still indicate that your site is cutting-edge and that your coders know what they're doing. But it's no longer possible even to argue that audio-visual content is a novelty. With modern connection speeds, coding options, software packages and plug-ins, it's now possible to record sophisticated video and audio presentations, to show them to your site's audience without breaking up their browsing experience, and to do all of this without incurring prohibitive bandwidth or hosting space costs. The technology has become sophisticated enough, in other words, to let you use audio-visual techniques for their traditional purpose. You can let your customers hear your product, see your product, and form emotional connections to your product. The result? You'll not only impress your customers, but you'll sell more products. Is Content Still King? The technical limitations of the early Internet determined its form. Even a simple image file with plenty of compression algorithms, a limited color palette, and a small display size would take up at least one kilobyte of memory, and of bandwidth. By contrast, text in the ASCII character coding scheme takes up exactly one byte per letter. Since one kilobyte is equal to one thousand bytes, roughly, it's almost literally true to say that a picture is worth a thousand words. So the early web was dominated above all by text rather than images, let alone sound files or video. Prodigy and other early online services almost exclusively functioned by transmitting long textual articles between users. And even when modern browsers began to appear, starting with NSCA Mosaic in the early nineties, web pages tended to focus more on the textual content than on how that content was presented. Page decorations focused more on basic HTML features like horizontal rules, tables, and different heading styles, with a few images thrown into the mix--usually on "gallery" subpages with warnings for those with slower connections. Audio was restricted either to very low-quality streaming files or to high quality .wavs of a few seconds' duration. Video was simply out of the question. We don't live in that world anymore. A picture may still be worth a thousand words, yes. But consider the difference between transmitting a 100KB image at 28.8 kilobits per second (about 7 KB per second, for about fifteen seconds overall) and transmitting the same 100KB image at 54 megabits per second (for an infinitesimal fraction of a second overall.) It's no longer an economic or practical necessity to privilege text ("content", for these purposes) over audio-visual components ("presentation".) So the question here: is content still king? The answer is: yes and no. It's still impossible to build a website without grounding it in textual content, first and foremost. It doesn't matter how flashy your Flash menus, embedded video solutions, or audio tricks are if you don't have the basic content to back it up. Give web users some credit: they're not zombies, impressed by the latest flashy devices. They go to the Internet in the first place because they're interested in information. If they're online in order to shop, they're going to want to know as much as possible about the product they're buying before they buy it. If all you give them is a well-crafted video of the product with stirring, high-quality music playing behind it, they may well be impressed by your audio-visual techniques. And then they'll leave without buying the product.

Table Of Contents What is Procrastination? 3 Why do you do it? 4 How Can You Change? 6 Conclusion 11 Sample Content Preview What is Procrastination? Everyone does it, including you. You have things to do, important things or mundane things, and you put off doing them until the last minute. If Procrastination were an Olympic event you might be in the running for a gold medal, you’re that good at it. You make jokes about being a world class procrastinator with your friends, telling them that sure, you could finish that project right now if you wanted to but (yawn) you’re just going to do it tomorrow. Procrastination is putting something off until later, either due to carelessness or habitual laziness. It’s putting off till tomorrow what you just as easily could have finished up today. A procrastinator postpones or needlessly delays accomplishing something –just because. Students are notorious for engaging in this behavior. Papers need to be researched and written, tests must be studied for but none of this is done or even started until the very last minute. Students who procrastinate generally spend a great deal of time pulling all –nighters in order to catch up to where they need to be or to cram for the big test in the morning. A person who is habitually late to everything, from weddings to dates, is someone who procrastinates getting ready to leave. Maybe they don’t start getting ready until it’s nearly time to leave or they move so slowly that by the time they should leave for the event, they’re still way behind schedule. Why do we let things slide until we’re in a time crunch and the deadline is looming and we’re not even CLOSE to being finished? Why do we procrastinate?
