Facebook Tips For Married Couples

Why are Facebook tips for married couples necessary? Because believe it or not, more and more couples are separating and divorcing because of inappropriate relationships that began on Facebook.

You see, Facebook opens up a portal into the world in a way we've not experienced before. If you're searching for a long lost relative or your high school sweetheart, it's likely you'll find them on Facebook. If you're not searching for anyone on Facebook, don't worry, they'll find you. This can be problematic.

Mainly problematic for married couples if not handled properly.
Here are a few tips to help the two of you enjoy the benefits of Facebook without falling prey to the dangers.

1. Your spouse should be given the password and user name for your Facebook account. If this information is too confidential to share with your spouse, then frankly there's something wrong with that picture.

2. Your Facebook profile photo should be a picture of both you and your spouse.

3. Don't accept friend request from people of the opposite sex if you do not know them.

4. Don't accept friend request from ex-boyfriends, or ex-girlfriends.

5. Don't share information with others on Facebook that you would not also share with your spouse.

Taking daily steps to ensure that your relationship is happy and healthy is one of the biggest things you can do to reduce the chances of inappropriate behavior while social networking. Marriages where neither spouses' needs are being met are more susceptible to these risks.

In conclusion, Facebook is a wonderful socializing tool when used with care. Practicing these tips can help you and your spouse avoid the heartache and destruction that follows internet infidelity.

15 Tips for Getting More People to Like Your Facebook Page

There are over three million active Facebook pages, and these pages are gaining millions of new fans every day.

Yes, I just said fans.

Although the button has changed from "Become a fan" to "Like," the action of joining a brands page remains the same. Facebook pages are still fan pages.

With Facebook's announcement of The New Messaging there are more reasons to like Facebook, and Facebook pages, than ever.

I hope you enjoy this post about 50 Ways to Get More People to "Like" your Facebook Page, and if you do I would really appreciate it if you share these tips with your friends, and join the FacebookFlow fan page.

Here are the tips:

1. Post a Status Update

Post a status update mentioning your Facebook page.

Don't be afraid to outright ask people to join your Facebook page. Ask and you shall receive.

Give them a great reason why they should join, tell them news, or find a creative way to mention and link to your page.

2. Link to Your Page as a Place of Employment

The info box under profile pictures is being phased out, so now if you want an omnipotent link on your profile to your page you will need to list your Page under employment. Once you do this your Facebook Page will appear under your name on your Profile.

3. Offer an incentive for people to sign up

Using some static fbml you can create a dynamic Facebook landing page with a "reveal tab" that contains content that is visible only to fans of your page.

The more valuable your incentive is, the more people will be compelled to click the "Like" button to access it.

Examples of exclusive content could be: An exclusive Video, an exclusive whitepaper/.pdf, exclusive pictures.

Stay tuned to FacebookFlow. In one of our upcoming posts will explain how to set up a "reveal tab."

The image below shows different levels of increasing effectiveness for acquiring new fans.

Involve offers apps (and several of them are totally free) that make it easy to create a "Fan Gate" containing incentives, like a file or coupon, that will cause more people to "Like" your page.

4. Contact admins of groups related to your page

Groups are more powerful than pages in terms of their messaging ability. Pages send updates, but groups send messages directly to a users Facebook inbox, triggering an email alert.

If you contact the admin of a Facebook group with some valuable content that adds value to their readers then this can help them nurture their community and help you build yours.

5. Get people to join your page via SMS

Send a text message to 32665 (FBOOK) with the words "fan yourusername" OR "like yourusername" (without the quotes).

This feature is ideal when you're in front of a live audience.

6. Install a page Badge

Facebook Badges are a simple, yet effective way to link to your Facebook profile.

Unlike widgets, badges are simply images, and will load much faster.

7. Install a Facebook "Like Box" into your site

Installing a "Like Box" is an excellent way to allow visitors to your site become fans without even leaving your page.

The like box builder tool makes it easy to customize the size of your like box, the number of connections to display, and even the color scheme.

Shown in the image below is the rarely used "dark" color scheme.

8. Use status tagging

Status tagging is a cool and fairly new feature of Facebook.

This feature allows you to tag any page or person by entering the @ sign and then typing the name of the page or person you want to tag.

9. Suggest your page to friends

Use the "suggest to friends" feature of your page. Use this feature sparingly. Personally, I try to only invite people go my page once because I know it annoys me when multiple people invite me.

If you have many friends you might want to consider using the "invite all" Google chrome extension, rather than clicking hundreds or thousands of times.

10. Install a Like Button into your site

Installing a like button allows visitors to like your page, and when they do this posts the their activity stream.

This can send more traffic to your site and if you have a Facebook "Like Box" and other content promotion your fan page, since this will help you convert your visitors into fans.

11. Connect your page to Twitter

Facebook Page to Twitter

Connecting your page to Twitter is an excellent way to convert your twitter followers into Facebook fans.

Using this strategy will cause all of your posts to be sent to twitter, with a link back to the Facebook version of the post.

12. Get fans to upload and tag photos

If you host (or attend) an event with several of your fans take a bunch of pictures, post them to your page, and then ask your friends to tag themselves in the pictures.

If you can get your fans to upload pictures to your page, or tag themselves in pictures you uploaded, this will post to their walls as well and will lead to additional traffic for you.

13. Install commenting on your landing page

This will allow people to comment on your page, even if they are not a fan.

Any comments made can broadcast to news feeds and lead to more traffic to your page.

Setting up Facebook commenting requires registering a Facebook application, so act on this tip with caution unless you are comfortable with code.

14. Leverage Traditional Media

Since Facebook is so widespread you can use any forms of traditional media and achieve results.

Newspapers, Media Buys, Radio, and TV all work, but are often very costly.

To maximize your promotion offer a free gift to those who join you page.

15. Newsletter promotion

If you do email marketing send a message to your subscribers letting them know about your fan page and consider including a link to your fan page in every email.

Kim Kardashian and Her Smoking Gun Numbers of Divorce - 599

[This article is neither designed to extol nor defame Kim Kardashian. Its purpose is simply to reveal the correlation between one's numbers, life and destiny.]

How does someone get divorced after only seventy-two days of being married? It seems unbelievable, but is it? Can such an event be seen in someone's numbers? The answer is Yes. In a very simple way, Kim Kardashian's marriage was doomed before it could really begin, and this is visible in the 599 number pattern of her Lifetime Monthly Timeline.

The Lifetime Monthly Timeline (LMT) is one major thread of an individual's destiny revealed in their "numbers" based on the full birth name and birth date. The LMT is a function of the actual months a person is alive plus the Specific Expression-the sum of the specific letter values in the full birth name. The LMT has two parts: an Influence and an Outcome.

Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born on 21 October 1980 (Wikipedia). Given this simple birth data, we can compute her Lifetime Monthly Timeline which reveals a major key to her romantic life and its issues.

The Influence aspect of Kardashian's LMT is revealed in the number of months she has been alive. This LMT Influence is calculated by simply multiplying her age, 31, times 12 (months in a year) equaling 372-the actual number of months she has lived up to her 31st birthday. She filed for divorce on 31 October 2011 (Halloween), just ten days after turning 31. The number 372 indicates marriage (3) undergoing concern and examination (7) in relationship (2). Together, these numbers equal a 3 in reduction (3 + 7 + 2 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3). Here again is the influence of the 3 of marriage.

The Outcome of her 372 Influence is generated by adding her 227 Specific Expression to it. This 227 is the sum of the specific letter values of her full birth name, Kimberly Noel Kardashian. For example, the letter "K" is the eleventh letter of the alphabet and has a specific value of 11. "A" has a specific value of 1 because it is the first letter of the alphabet. "Z" has a specific value of 26 because it is the twenty-sixth letter of the alphabet and so forth. Therefore, when each of the specific letter values of her birth name is added together, a 227 is the result, a numeric pattern indicating Yin (feminine) energy, others and relationship (the two 2s) focusing on reflection, seclusion, thought, analysis and introspection (7).

When Kardashian's Influence number of 372 is added to her Specific Expression of 227, it creates a sum of 599, a cipher set showing changes (5) and massive endings (99). When the numbers of this 599 pattern are added together and reduced, the result is a 5 revealing an outcome of more change (5 + 9 + 9 = 23; 2 + 3 = 5). When written as a whole, this pattern is 599-5. The two 5s serve as bookends of change for the powerful 99 energies of endings-the reality of her life when she decided to divorce.

For simple clarity, the single ciphers (crowns) of the number patterns 372 and 599 can be used to form a 3/5 IR Set (Influence/Reality or Outcome). The number 3 represents marriage, well-being, health and beauty and the 5 indicates change. By itself, the 5 doesn't signify endings necessarily. It is the powerful double 9s creating the 99 that signify endings and conclusions.

Summary

Life and destiny are visible in the numbers of our birth name and birth date. The numeric pattern 599, representing change, detachment and freedom (5) playing itself out in an energy field of endings and conclusions (99) reveals, in part, the divorce of Kim Kardashian. Other factors in her chart are also germane, but this 599 outcome pattern is, arguably, the smoking gun manifesting the cutting of her nuptial knot after only seventy-two days of marriage. ~ finish

Videos Loading Slow on YouTube? Here Are Steps to Fix the Problem Forever

Everyone who has an Internet connection has watched a video on YouTube... but if you are trying to view clips and are continually having to wait for it to load, you could have some problems deep inside your PC. There is a very simple set of steps to fix this problem, and this tutorial will show you how.

Step 1) Reinstall Flash Player

The first thing you want to do is to reinstall Flash player. This is the technology which YouTube uses to play videos on your computer and is what causes most of the issues. To do this, you should first uninstall Flash Player by clicking on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove programs and then locating "Adobe Flash Player". There might be several instances of the Flash Player program on your PC (notably "ActiveX" and "plugin".)

You should uninstall both of them and then restart your PC. When you've restarted Windows, try going on Youtube again. It should prompt you to download Flash, which you should do. After installing a fresh copy of Flash, you then need to check to see if the problem as gone or not.

Step 2) Reinstall Your Internet Browser

If you are using FireFox or Chrome, then it's advised you reinstall your Internet browser to make sure that all the files that are inside it are clean and working correctly. You can do this by heading to the respected website of your favorite browser and then downloading the latest version of it. This will then overwrite your current browser and keep all your old settings. If anything was wrong with your browser & caused the YouTube pausing problem, this would fix it.

Step 3) Check Your Internet Connection

One of the main causes of YouTube videos running slowly is just down to how fast your Internet is. You should make sure you have a fast connection by looking for "Internet Speed Test" on Google. You also need to make sure that any other computers on your network are not using excessive amounts of bandwidth by checking to see if anyone is downloading or checking their emails constantly. You need to have as faster Internet connection as possible to allow you watch videos smoothly online.

Step 4) Clean Out The Registry

If none of the above fixes work, then you should try cleaning the 'registry'. This is the Windows database which stores the information and settings that your programs need to run. It's often the case that many registry settings become corrupted and lead your PC to run slower and with errors. This affects the speed of your YouTube videos as they need to use a lot of registry settings to run. To clean out the registry, you should download a registry cleaner and let it scan your PC. It will remove any of the damaged or corrupted settings that are inside this database, allowing your computer to run a lot faster again.

Archer: 1st Melbourne Cup Winner

Comparing horses from different eras is indeed problematic. Runners from the early days had fewer racing opportunities, breeding and training methods varied, and comparing a Thoroughbred Racehorse from the 1800s with one from the 1900s or the current century prevents true objectivity from being possible.

One case in point concerns the large bay stallion named Archer. On the one hand, he won two Melbourne Cups in a row, the inaugural race in 1861 and again in 1862. Only three others have won twice: Peter Pan, Rain Lover, Think Big with Makybe Diva the only runner to win three cups.

On the other hand, Archer's winning time in these two wins would have been sufficient to win in only 1864. Kingston Town's record, even considering the slightly shorter distance he covered as a result of the switch to the metric system, would have put Archer down by over 30 seconds. That would be an almost inconceivable gap of around 500 metres.

Yet, Archer had a winning strike rate of over 70% due to his 12 wins from 17 starts, compared to 60% from Peter Pan (38 starts/23 wins), one of the other two-time Cup winning Hall of Fame recognized Thoroughbreds. It must also be acknowledged that Archer was good enough to beat 16 Cup starters in 1861 and 19 in 1862.

It could be argued that Peter Pan's 15 major wins far outstrip Archer's 10, but that takes us back to the fewer opportunities to run argument, as Peter Pan had 38 starts to Archer's 17.

Makybe Diva earned entry to the Hall Of Fame with 10 major wins, the same number as Archer, and she had 36 starts. Her 15 wins puts her winning strike rate at only around 42%.

By any standard of fairness, Archer belongs in the Hall Of Fame. His winning strike rate places him far beyond the other two mentioned. His major wins are at least adequate, more so when you consider the low number of starts, and his accomplishment of winning not just two consecutive, but the first two Melbourne Cups consecutively, qualifies him by a historical standard alone.

All debate and Archer for-Hall-of-Fame campaigning aside, let's take a look at the career of this literal (16.3 hands) and figurative giant among horses. Thoroughbred records of that era, while nowhere near as extensive as is now possible, were frequently better than those types of records kept for people, so much of Archer's history, even though perhaps mixed in with some exaggerated events, is fairly well documented.

Archer was foaled in 1856. There is some argument about the exact place, but it was either Exeter Farm or Ballabala. His sire was William Tell and his dam Maid of the Oaks. The bloodline was predominantly British, which was often the case in those times.

Archer was trained, and on paper owned, by Etienne de Mestre, known for having trained more Melbourne Cup winners of anyone other than Bart Cummings. He is tied for Melbourne Cup wins with John Tait and Dato Tan Chin Nam, but Archer and Etiennes's 1867 winner, Tim Whiffler, were leased. Only 1878 cup winner Calamia was truly owned by de Mestre.

Archer Racing Record:

Archer was tried only twice as a three-year-old. He failed to place in two events contested at Randwick in late May of 1860, the Tattersall's Free Handicap and the Randwick Plate.

A matter of several months later, beginning on 6 September 1860, now running as a four-year-old, he produced six consecutive wins with John Cutts aboard. Quirks of the scheduling calendar of those times enabled Archer to win two Randwick plates as a four-year-old, the first on 8 September 1860 and the next on 4 May 1861. The very next day, Archer took the Maitland Town plate with de Mestre aboard, since Cutts was riding de Mestre's other horse in this race that had just the two runners.

First up as a five-year-old, Archer produced his first Melbourne Cup, at 3:52 tied for slowest all-time, yet still by a considerable margin over a respectable field.

Again proving his stamina, he raced the next day and took the Melbourne Cup Plate, another two-mile event, giving him an unbeaten streak that encompassed nine races over a time period of 11 months.

Two thirds and a first in the AJC Queen's Plate capped Archer's four race five-year-old campaign.

Archer's six-year-old season had him breaking the 64 kg weight level for the first time, and 3 miles over the Geelow course relegated him to a third-place finish.

That weight and distance may have contributed to his already formidable stamina, because on 13 November 1862, Archer carried just a little more weight to put 8 lengths between himself and Mormon for his second Melbourne Cup. This winning margin has never been surpassed and it took 60 years before a horse again won two Melbourne Cups.

Archer ran only one more time that year. He won the All Aged Stakes at Flemington.

He was tried once as a seven-year-old, where he produced a third at Ballarat over 3 miles.

He was denied an opportunity to run in the 1863 edition of the Melbourne cup. Race officials claimed de Mestre's acceptance could not be processed in time due to a holiday. Some observers claim that given the margin Archer posted in the previous Cups, he would have been favoured to produce a third win in a small, seven horse field, but it must be mentioned that the small size of the field was the result of many owners scratching in protest over Archer's exclusion. Whether or not he would have won, all else being equal, is fodder for thought, since he drew almost 72 kg - but he was proved at distance and weight.

Archer was subsequently retired to stud where he received substantial fees, but his progeny failed to produce any stakes winners.

He died 22 December 1872 at age 16 after grazing accidentally in a field of green barley, inducing a fatal lung inflammation.

Whether or not he is eventually recognized with admission to the Hall, Archer has achieved legendary status amongst true punters, even if he did not truly walk from Sydney to Melbourne to win that first Melbourne Cup.
