An Aging Mother Reveals the Shocking Secrets of Her Past

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 6, 2009

Ninety-year-old Minna and her daughter Julie have a strained relationship. Julie has stored up resentments from her past; having been sent off to a boarding school as a young girl and estranged from her family, she has kept much of her life secret from her mother. Minna, too has not been entirely truthful about her own past. When she visits Julie, Minna decides to unburden herself from the painful secrets of her childhood. When Minna was sixteen years old, her father shot at his second wife, then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. This violent incident created a shameful scandal in the quiet village in New York’s Mohawk valley, and it changed the course of Minna’s life forever.

In Our Quiet Village by author Mary Lou Chayes, tells the true story of Minna’s family, beginning at the turn of the last century when her mother and father, both German immigrants, meet and fall in love. Karl and Susanna have two children, Hans and Minna and a third child who dies in infancy. The story of Minna’s family begins like that of many other families of that time, with happiness and hardship going hand in hand. However, Susanna’s life is tragically cut short by pneumonia, leaving Karl a widower with two children to care for. When Karl’s distant cousin, Herta writes from Germany to apply for the job of housekeeper, he believes he has found the solution to the family’s problems. After he marries her, she is revealed to be mentally unstable, full of anger and self-loathing. Life becomes a living hell.

In Our Quiet Village is a family saga that spans three generations. This love story turned tragedy plays out against a backdrop of a historically significant time in U.S. history, tracing the rise of the labor movement and the struggle for women’s suffrage. Chayes includes actual photographs of the family as well as the headline article from the local newspaper that reported the fateful incident.

What Lutherans Believe, Teach & Confess: Class is In Session with Lutheranism 101

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

St. Louis, MO (Vocus) October 8, 2010

Like any 101 class, Lutheranism 101 examines Lutheran beliefs and heritage in a introductory way that is quick, usable, comprehensive and concise.

Whether you’re a lifelong Lutheran, a newcomer to the faith, or someone interested in learning what Lutherans believe, Lutheranism 101 helps make core principles simple. With a popular and fun style, major theological concepts are broken down into easy-to-read articles, charts, and bullet points.


Pastor James Wetzstein, university associate pastor at Valparaiso University, contributed Agnus Day lectionary comic strips which are a humorous addition seen that show the lighter side of theological concepts.

“The only lectionary comic on earth is a part of our book, helps our presentation, and really gives you an interesting look at Lutheranism,” said CPH editor Scot Kinnaman.

With Lutheranism 101, readers have the opportunity to learn about God and His Son, faith and belief, heaven and hell, church and fellowship, sin and forgiveness.

“This resource just looks marvelous! I mean what a great tool! It’s packed with great stuff and a wonderful diversity of authors. It looks good; it feels good; it’s exactly what that average person who doesn’t want to be overwhelmed with information would want,” said LCMS President Rev. Matthew C. Harrison.

Beginning now through Reformation Day (October 31st) customers receive an introductory Web-only price of $ 14.99.

“Lowering the price of Lutheranism 101 is one of our ways of giving back to the Church. We realize that this is an essential resource that’s needed for today’s ministry and practical living,” CPH president and CEO Dr. Bruce Kintz said.

Visit the website at Lutheranism101.com to tell us why you’re a Lutheran. Visit cph.org/lutheranism101 to order your copy (at the special Web-only price) today.

“Readers can look up a topic and read a little bit about Luther or every other aspects of the faith. Another marvelous product,” Harrison said.

There are a few frequently asked questions which needed to be answered before getting facebook like on your websites. These questions are the basic queries often made by the users.

a. Do I need to have a Facebook account to be able to add the “Like” button to my website?

- No, you don’t. Anyone can add it regardless of whether or not they have a Facebook account. Click here for our easy step-by-step guide on how to set up a Facebook account.

b. What are some of the key benefits to creating a “Like” button?

There are several very important reasons to get this like button on your website. Here’s a list of a few of them:

· The Facebook brand carries with it a sense of safety, authority, trust and familiarity. Having their logo and a connection to them on your website will make your site look and feel more legitimate and trustworthy in the eyes of Facebook users. This is massive in building credibility, increasing traffic and driving sales.

· Your website has a chance to go “viral” as friends recommend you to their friends who then recommend it to other friends, etc… As the saying goes: “birds of a feather flock together” and this can be a fantastic way to penetrate your niche and have your customers spread the word in a low commitment way for them that can build amazing results for you.

· One great part of it is how much Facebook charges for it – nothing! That’s right, it’s free. A free advertising tool that relies on referrals and recommendations (we all know the value of those).

· A seismic shift is starting to happen and Facebook is squaring off against Google and looking to overtake them as the internet’s number one search engine. This won’t happen overnight, but it’s wise to align yourself with Facebook early on so that you can get brownie points from Facebook for having got in on the ground floor.

Maybe the ultimate advantage of the Like Button is how it has revolutionized the way the common facebook user can make money online. To learn more about this visit us at:

Database driven websites

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

This is the information age and there are now millions of websites on the internet.The vast majority of these are “static” websites – many impressive in design and looks. Like the glossy magazines in the newsagent they look great but do not actually “do” very much. Static sites have had their day and the next phase is data driven websites!

Data driven websites use a database such as Microsoft’s SQL Server or MySQL (or others) to store the data, code pages such as C#, VisualBasic or Perl to crunch the data and HTML to display it in a user friendly interface. Examples of some data driven websites are Amazon (online store), eBay (auction site), Howrse (horse trading game) and Basecamp (project management). These all allow you to do things like register, log in and send messages and make purchases. These are enormous sites that have taken years and millions of dollars to develop.

But it’s not just the mega-companies that have data driven websites – even the smallest companies are now using the web to provide information in real time to their customers, suppliers and the public. This is generally being done by using 3rd party websites which allow you to set up an accounts on their website and then incorporate that functionality into your website. Web developers often use “smoke and mirrors” to subtly transfer us from one website to another without our knowledge. This is all done through the clever use of matching colors, fonts and common banners.

Web Applications

Organizations are also increasingly moving their computer systems on to the web – these are also called web applications or web based applications s well as data driven websites. As computer systems are being replaced we have been moving away from the client server model (a Windows or Mac application and a centralized database). Instead most development is using a web based model where all that the user needs is a browser. There are many advantages, especially with the proliferation of iPhones, Android and Windows CE handsets.

* Easier deployment (no need to send to each and every user)

* Centralized data and application

* Very thin client – no need for processing power at the user end

* Easy access – from anywhere in the world with an internet connection

With web applications or we can access our data when we want to using a variety of devices… no longer are we tied to the desk.

Content Management

Not only can we access the data from where anywhere we can also change it and update it whenever and wherever. Most data driven websites include a CMS (Contact Management System) that allows you to edit the textual or visual content in real time. No special skills or technology required – just log in and click on an edit icon to start editing – update the news or fix up the homepage there and then.

For gathering more info about database driven websites and also about database creation, please check out these links.

Speaking Results LLC Launches New Website using Advanced Technology and Personalization

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

Jean Hamilton, executive presentation coach, and Founder and Principal of Speaking Results LLC, announced the launch of her newly designed website and offerings at http://www.speakingresults.com. Hamilton says, “I’m very proud of my new site. The videos on the site make it unique and give a real sense of my personality.” She goes on to say, “People often call and say, ‘I feel like I already know you.’ Starting the call warm like that, makes it much easier to turn an initial inquiry into business.”

Terry Simpson, producer/director at T’Visions Productions http://www.tvisions.tv, designed the site and the videos. Jean walks on, pops up, disappears and reappears. Says Simpson, “We were really looking for the perfect client to showcase the new Rotator function of our player, which allows a different video to play each time the viewer visits the site or re-loads. Jean’s sense of creativity, fun and professionalism make the site memorable.”

Simpson often tells people their website is a chance to give viewers a taste of what it would be like to work with you. He says, “When people go on your site, they are wondering: ‘Do I trust this person? Can we connect?’ A video can answer these questions in seconds because viewers can use their ‘truth-o-meter’. Anyone can hire a good designer and a great writer, but with a video, people can tell if the words come from the heart.” After his work with television, Simpson’s company T’Visions Productions specializes in walk-on videos. They use a process which includes an extensive questionnaire and interview to get to the core of how to reach a target audience. Simpson helps shape the right words into a series of 30 to 45 second scripts that highlight a unique value proposition and distinguishes his clients from their competition.

“Everyone is looking for a way to stand out, to get an edge. A well-designed site with great videos is one way to make that happen,” says Simpson. “Clients like Jean are great because she is so passionate about her work and committed to helping her clients be amazing. All we have to do is put her front and center and let the truth shine through.”

WorldWideWebSize.com estimates the Indexed Web contains at least 4.69 billion pages and about 700 million sites. These statistics came to the attention of Jean Hamilton who decided that a website should be more a personal experience. Breaking the mold of what is typically found on the Internet, http://www.speakingresults.com adds the personal touch. If Moore’s Law remains true and the number of websites on the Internet doubles every 18 to 24 months, Jean Hamilton is committed to thinking differently online to provide an experience others do not offer.

After the recent launch of the new website which operates on new principles for how to do business online, the response was immediate. Speaking Results reported new clients from around the USA have responded to her online activity which has included a new website launch, press releases (via PRWeb), and whitepapers (via the largest online library Scribd).

About the Company: Speaking Results LLC was founded in 1998 by Jean Hamilton. She brings 25 years of experience in coaching, teaching and performing to Speaking Results. She has worked with CEOs, CFOs, Vice Presidents, Managers, Attorneys, Financial Consultants, CPAs, Engineers, and Educators. With her discerning eye, she gives you the feedback you need to make tremendous improvements. For information, contact Jean Hamilton at [http://www.speakingresults.com.
