Noah's Ark Found in Turkey?
The expedition team is "99.9 percent" sure. Others, well, aren't.
Near the top of Mount Ararat (file photo) in Turkey, explorers claim to have found Noah's ark.
A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they've found the remains of Noah's ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey's Mount Ararat (map).
But some archaeologists and historians are taking the latest claim that Noah's ark has been found about as seriously as they have past ones—which is to say not very.
(See "Noah's Ark Discovered in Iran?" and "Noah's Ark Quest Dead in Water—Was It a Stunt?")
"I don't know of any expedition that ever went looking for the ark and didn't find it," said Paul Zimansky, an archaeologist specializing in the Middle East at Stony Brook University in New York State.
Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International made the latest discovery claim Monday in Hong Kong, where the group is based.
"It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it," Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker accompanying the explorers, told The Daily Mail.

Amazing Underwater River in Mexico
If you are a professional diver you should visit Cenote Angelita Mexico.
These amazing pictures were taken by Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita,
Mexico. Here’s his description: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep
– salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually,
the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.”
It must be an unforgettable feeling once you’re there and see it with your own eyes.

Ttravel in Geneva Switzerland
Although Geneva airport has a good bus and train network, many people prefer to take car hire Geneva if they are going to more than one destination. Car hire is also the most feasible way to travel in Geneva and Switzerland if you plan to go skiing. There are car hire packages where you can get a suitable vehicle with snow chains and ski racks. If you don't drive or can't afford to hire a car, there are some buses which go to the main ski resorts like Chamonix, but these only run on a seasonal basis. Cars come with an unlimited mileage offer so that it doesn't matter how far you drive. Therefore a cheap weekly car hire Geneva rate of eighty nine Euros per week will definitely work out cheaper than taking three 20 minute taxi journeys or the equivalent. There are motorways all around the airport so getting there or back by car should be a doddle as long as you avoid rush hour.

How To Build A Website For Mass Traffic
Getting traffic to a website is one of the most important things that you can possibly do in order to see your business thrive and grow. The unfortunate thing is, many of us concentrate so much on getting traffic to our website that we tend to ignore what we are going to do with that traffic once it is at our website. That is why it is important to make sure that you are building your pages so that they are primed to accept the traffic that you are sending to them. This can help you to increase your bottom line considerably, no matter what it is that you're trying to do.
Getting traffic to a website is one of the most important things that you can possibly do in order to see your business thrive and grow. The unfortunate thing is, many of us concentrate so much on getting traffic to our website that we tend to ignore what we are going to do with that traffic once it is at our website. That is why it is important to make sure that you are building your pages so that they are primed to accept the traffic that you are sending to them. This can help you to increase your bottom line considerably, no matter what it is that you're trying to do.
One of the biggest mistakes that is made by individuals who are building a website is that they tend to bury everything below a ton of text. Text is certainly important to have on a webpage, as it is what helps you to get ranked in the search engines for specific keywords. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people that are going to land on your website are not interested in reading what you have to say. As a matter of fact, a very low percentage of people ever hit the scroll bar at all and if you are putting your offer below the area that is seen when they first land on the page, you may be missing out on quite a few sales.
This is what is commonly known as keeping something above the fold. In other words, make sure that they have the opportunity to take action on your website without having to scroll below the information that is available when they first land on your webpage. If you are able to do this effectively, regardless of whether you are trying to make a sale or gain a subscriber, you will see an immediate increase in the amount of actions that people are taking.
Another thing that you should pay close attention to is the direction that people go through your website once they are on it. Some of us may concentrate so much on our landing pages that we forget that people may end up leaving the landing pages in order to find additional information on our website. There are a number of different tracking services which would allow you to see the direction that these individuals are going. This is always going to be a good idea, and you would be surprised what exactly how much information you are able to compile once you start tracking it.
Finally, always make sure that you have something established so that you can contact these individuals again. If you have not yet started building a list, you're really missing out on a lot of repeat traffic and that is where the majority of your money will be. Give people the opportunity to allow you to contact them again, perhaps even offering them something for free in exchange for their email address. You would be surprised with how far this can push your numbers without looking for any new traffic at all.

US Treasury: New 100 dollar bill needs 3D tech
On Wednesday, the US Treasury introduced a new 100 dollar bill, which is slated to go into circulation early in 2011. The new 100 dollar bill includes a "3D Security Ribbon" and a color-changing inkwell.
Benjamin Franklin gets to stay. So does the official stamp of the Federal Reserve System. But the rest of the $100 bill – the most frequently counterfeited note, according to government officials – is getting a radically revamped look. On Wednesday, the US Treasury took the wraps off of a new $100 bill, which Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says would be exponentially more difficult for criminals to copy.
"As with previous US currency redesigns, this note incorporates the best technology available to ensure we're staying ahead of counterfeiters," Mr. Geithner says in a statement. So what's so great about the new $100 bill, anyway? In a word: state-of-the-art science. The new $100 bill gets an array of security features, including an image of the Liberty Bell which reportedly changes color from copper to green when the note is tilted.
But the biggest upgrade is a blue "3D Security Ribbon." That's right: the same 3D craze that swept through movie theaters, television screens, and video game systems, is now coming to the pocket of a well-heeled American near you. US Treasury says the 3D ribbon would appear on the front of new $100 notes, which are set to enter circulation in February 2011.
The strip contains a series of images of bells and digits; tip the note, and the images come into 3D relief. And you don't even need a pair of those dorky 3D glasses to make sure you're looking at a genuine Benjamin. "It only takes a few seconds to check the new $100 note and know it's real," says Larry R. Felix, Director of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

The Reason behind woman’s love for gay men.
In the recent years several shows like Sex and the city have been idealizing women having gay men as friends. It may be as if we are reading a bit too much into this matter, but it should be noted that there is some evidence on this phenomena which is called as fictional as such. In short it can be said that women love gay men.
There are certain types of gay men whom women prefer over others. Gay men who are good or look good, who have the patience to listen to them and are loyal are considered to be the most loved by women and it is not difficult to understand the reason behind that. This phenomenon as such is restricted to that small numbers of gay men who have all those gentle qualities and listen to women.

Imelda Marcos jewelry in NY auction a Former Philippine first lady .
An emerald brooch owned by Catherine the Great of Russia and a diamond ring that once belonged to former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos are headlining a jewelry sale Thursday that Christie's expects will attract strong Asian buyer interest.
Both pieces have not been seen in public for decades and are estimated to sell for between $1 million and $1.5 million at the auction of 300 pieces of jewelry. The total sale could reap more than $25 million, Christie's said.
"Art and jewelry were more resilient than any other sector in the financial world and people still came and put great confidence in what they wish to buy," Rahul Kadakia, head of jewelry at Christie's New York, said of the financial crisis.
"The Chinese market is the biggest market in the world right now, because that's a market that's still building their collections," he said. "We had a lot of requests from clients in China for visas to come and attend the sale so we do know they will be here."
The 39.5 carat Emperor Maximilian Diamond ring was bought by Marcos, wife of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, in 1983 -- three years before her husband was ousted from power through a popular revolt.
Known for her extravagant lifestyle and love of shoes and jewelry, Marcos owned the Brazilian diamond until the mid-1990s when she sold it to a U.S. jeweler. Jeweler Cartier set the stone into a ring in 1934 and then Marcos changed the setting.
The stone was originally bought by Archduke Maximilian in 1860 shortly before he was named the Emperor of Mexico. But when he was captured and court-martialed by opposition forces, "legend holds that Maximilian was wearing the in a small satchel tied around his neck when he was executed," Christie's said.
The diamond ring is now being sold by a private collector.
The Catherine the Great brooch dates back to the mid-18th century when it was owned by Catherine II of Russia, who ascended to the Russian thrown in 1762, according to Christie's. It was passed down through several generations of her family.
In 1972 the brooch was bought by a private U.S. collector, whose estate is now selling the jewel.
"It's quite a regal jewel," said Kadakia. "The current owner's mother wore it to the White House for a state dinner in 1973. So it's been through a lot this brooch and it's seen a lot of history and has passed through some great times."
In 2009 Christie's sold more than $270 million worth of jewelry and diamond globally with several new records set.
The Vivid Pink, a 5-carat pink diamond, set a new record price for any gemstone when it sold for $10.8 million, while the Annenberg Diamond, a 32-carat diamond, set a new per-carat record when it went under the hammer for a total $7.7 million.
"Jewelry prices have held very strong," Kadakia said. "If you have something that's rare, that's irreplaceable, people pay what they have to pay to own it."

Does Website Look Like A Scam?
With so many websites selling services and “stuff” on the internet these days, it can be difficult for consumers to make a decision as to which is the best to do online business with.Does Your Website Look Like A Scam
One thing is certain, if your website gives visitors even the slightest inkling that it is a scam site, you are bound to lose lots of potential customers. Take a look at these common characteristics of shady online businesses and be sure that you are not guilty of appearing spamming or scamming.
Too! Much! Emphasis!
The first thing you might notice when you click on a spamming site is lots of vibrant color, different sized fonts, text in all capital letters, cheesy graphics for emphasis, and flashing lights. It may remind you of a disco dance club with all of its visual stimuli trying to pull your eye immediately to the ‘BUY!’ link.
While there is nothing wrong with drawing attention to your call to action, if you make it more subtle it will denote a professional, trustworthy company. Stay away from an annoying mixture of too many vibrant colors and varying fonts. Use classic combination's and keep graphics to a minimum; they should enhance, not overpower the text. Try to refrain from using exclamation points where they are not required.
Pop-Ups
A pop-up message that tries to convince a visitor to stay on your site, make a purchase, or join a subscriber’s list can be an excellent tool to increase conversion rate. However, if they are not done right, they could be viewed as a real annoyance and evidence of a site that is going to send spam email messages in the future.
The worst sites keep pop-ups appearing from the moment of entrance to the home page until the unlucky visitor entirely shuts down their computer. Use more than one pop-up and risk being viewed as a scammed.
Make pop-ups appear only at the last possible moment – when the visitor is about to leave the site. Restrain yourself from adding them to each link or when someone first lands on the home page.
Free Offers That Aren’t Really Free
Your site is bound to get a bad reputation if you fall back on that old scam standby of offering something for ‘free’. We’ve all seen these websites. They offer something of great value complimentary, then ask for a credit card to pay for future orders. Of course you can cancel your subscription at any time – if only you can figure out how to do so.
When you offer a free item, be sure there are no strings attached other than the visitor providing a name, address, and perhaps a brief bit of personal information such as interests or hobbies. The idea is to induce the visitor to take their free item, but then come back again and again to make future purchases. If your initial visitor finds a reason to trust your company, it is much more likely that they will become a loyal customer.
Perhaps the best way to figure out what you don’t want your site to be is to visit some of those obvious scam websites. Use what you see and read as a template of everything wrong – then do the opposite and enjoy a better online reputation. Becoming trusted by your clients is the best way to win their confidence and trust so that they do buy from you when ready.
Have a most outstanding day.

Contest: Organized or Messy Desk - Which is Better?
I join a funny and little contest featuring the debate over whether it is better to have an organized desk or a messy one.
Cleaning of keyboard is very difficult task for me. I really hate cleaning up my keyboard using cotton with alcohol but after cleaning it, the dust is again still there.
In this contest I don't want to join there debate, for me if which is better I choose messy one.
Messy one don't let me hate cleaning up my keyboard I don't care if this keyboard is messy and I don't care if I don't win this contest.
I join lots of contest on the internet and until now I really don't believe on it and I really have doubt if its true or I just really don't win lol...
Sometimes when I join one local contest stating that I will win mobile phone grrr I never sleep almost 24 hours just to win the prize but too bad I never win, I'm not lucky? or the contest is just their way to promote their sites or products?
In my own opinion I think those sites promoting contest and give prize is just their way to encourage people to keep coming back to their sites. But I don't know if they really give the prize.
In my other side of conclusion I think they give the prize but they give it to their close friends or relatives. But formally other site really sincere, Will this is my own opinion how about you what is your opinion about online contest?
Ohh I almost forgot I write this article just to join the contest again but this contest is the funniest one because http://www.office1000.com is giving away a free computer vacuum maybe I choose better to have an organized desk if i win this.
Get a free laptop!
The best thing in life is free!!!
and now you can get a free laptop.
With tight competition among manufacturers nowadays, getting free electronics is not a difficult thing to do anymore. Product endorsers of Apple have been giving away free apple products for years and one of the best is the free Macbook Air they are offering recently.
The process is still the same. All you need to do is to complete a simple task in sort of opinion or survey, or just submit your email address and zip code in order to be included in the list.
These companies are spending millions of dollars in advertising and promotion, and giving away products like this free macbook air is just a small part of their advertising budget.
My 13-year old first cousin who is living in Pomona, California with his parents received a brand new apple macbook air for free inducing shipping. And he didn’t expected it. The award came after he submitted her mother’s email address and name because he don’t have one. Click here to get your macbook air for free.

Enchong Dee reacts to rumors he's gay.
Young actor Enchong Dee has finally responded to reports saying he is gay.
In an interview during the press conference of his film, "Paano Ko Sasabihin," with his on-screen partner Erich Gonzales, Dee said he is aware of the reports alleging that he is a homosexual.
"Opo (narinig ko na po 'yon). Bahala na po sila. Wala na po (akong magagawa). Kumbaga, simula po noon hanggang ngayon, wala po akong ginagawang masama pero kapag ganyan, may mga lumalabas nga," Dee said.
The actor said he does not know when and how the issue started, but stressed he does not really care since he knows he's not gay.
Asked if he believes that the issue surfaced since he is now popular, the actor replied: "Hindi ko din po alam. Siguro."
Other than the reports that he is gay, Dee said there's also a rumor that he is a gay benefactor.
"Kung hindi naman (bakla), gay benefactor ka naman, either or," he said.
Erich defends Enchong
While others say Dee belongs to the third sex, his long time screen partner and rumored girlfriend Erich Gonzales, defended the actor.
Gonzales maintained the rumors aren't true.
She believes the reports about the actor's sexuality come with being in showbiz.
"Kasi it's normal para sa isang lalaki na kapag nasa showbiz ka, hindi talaga pwede na wala yong gay issue," Gonzales said.
As someone who's close to Enchong, Gonzales said she knows what the truth is and does not need an explanation or proof.
"Wala naman talaga. Wala talagang dapat i-prove, kaya sana ay tigilan niyo na siya. At kung makikilala niyo siya ay malalaman niyo na wala talaga," she said.
Enchong and Gonzales are currently promoting their film "Paano Ko Sasabihin" under Cinema One Originals.
The film will be screened from April 16 to 22 at selected SM cinemas nationwide, including SM Manila, Sta. Mesa, Megamall, Fairview, North EDSA, Southmall, Bacoor, Clark, Cebu and Davao.
Written and directed by Richard Legaspi, "Paano Ko Sasabihin?" is an light romantic comedy story of two individuals who can hear the call of love using their hearts.
The film received three awards in the Cinema One Originals Digital Movie Festival Awards last November 2009. It won the Audience Choice Award, Best Editing Award, and Special Jury Citation Award.
"Paano Kita Sasabihin" is the first theatrical distribution venture of Cinema One Originals with SM Cinemas.
