i have the files of content management tool on my pc ,i want to know how to add these files into the website in order to create my pages.
Note: content management tool is is a tool used to create website in easy manner just by droping the modules.

Some of my friends recommend the webmaster scripts from

anyone here already use it? My friends told me that they found it very easy and very helpful to their business website. Can anyone here give us a feedback about the product?

I want to try webcam imaging of planets. How do I figure the F ratio w/ a barlow or Televue powermate?

November 7, 2009 - 6:38 am 3 Comments

I have a 10" 2500mm f10 Lx200 and will be using a Toucam. I have a 2x barlow but am thinking about getting one of the Televue powermates for additional magnification.

*How do I determine the focal ratio by using a barlow and/or Powermate.
*How does this change if I also use an extension tube?
*Any suggestions on which Powermate, ie 2x-5x?

Thanks!

First, telescope’s focal ratio is determined by dividing it’s focal length by it’s aperture, therefore your telescopes focal ratio is f/10:
2500mm / 254mm ~= 10

Using a Barlow or extension tube will multiply your telescope’s focal length, so the focal ratio with a 2x Barlow is f/20:
2*2500mm / 254mm ~= 20

The same goes with a Powermate, it multiplies the telescope’s focal length and a 5x Powermate gives you a focal ratio f/50. And the same formula applies to an extension tube also, it gives you more focal legth and less f-ratio.

The focal length and focal ratio determines both your magnification and how much light is projected on to your web-cam’s CCD-chip, or how bright the image is. The magnification is directly multiplied by the focal length. When using a 4x Powermate you’ll have 4x the focal length and 4x the magnification.

On the other hand the necessary exposure time grows as the square of focal ratio: the lower your focal ratio is the longer exposures you’ll have to get – in square! So, when going from f/10 to f/40 with a 4x Powermate you’ll need 4^2 = 16x the exposure time to get the same brightness.

So here’s the trade-off:
Planets are bright objects in a telescope, but when using low f -ratios you’ll have to use much longer exposure times. A longer exposure time means you will have more atmospheric distortions in *each* of your images. So a bigger magnification does not necessarily mean you’ll have better planetary images. It depends a lot on seeing and atmospheric conditions. Generally stacking smaller but crisper images will give you better results. But only generally. It really depends.

Therefore my suggestion is to try first with the 2x barlow, and based on those results to try with a bigger magnification later. A 5x Powermate is a good piece of equipment, it gives you a lot more magnification. But keep in mind that bigger magnification doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get better planetary images. On a good night it will, on a bad night you’ll only get less images to stack.

I suggest you to visit Cloudynights, IMO it’s the best forum for these things. Here’s one good discussion on the subject: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Board/low/Number/356896/page/3/view/collapsed/sb/6/o/o/fpart/all

Choose the best 15 for "Learning Management Systems"?

November 7, 2009 - 6:38 am 2 Comments

Here’s a comprehensive list of learning management systems from across the globe. The link below shows combined both open source and commercial LMS systems to remove any confusion.

http://elearning-india.com/content/blogcategory/19/38/

My company is looking forward to outsource "Learning Management Systems" to its clients from any of these companies. How do I get to know the best among these, so that I could advice my company to send Rfps’ to a list of top 15 companies?
My company is looking forward to host e-learning online and mediate learning/training programs for employees for any kind of learning or training. For example, our client wants a LMS/LCMS for a fresher comes to the company, he/she could visit the portal and do e-learn about the company. I wanted do know which all company will provide LMS or LCMS to our company so that we outsource and integrate the process with the required tools and provide to our clients. So I would like to know who are the best 15 vendors LMS/LCMS.

We were/are looking to change our current one, all i can say is avoid Outstart like the plague!!!

However, how many employee’s are you looking to serve?
There are some good "cheap" solutions that get the job done if you are serving either a small group or simple content.

LCMS’s (Learning Content Management Systems) allow you to analyze your courses and compare how students are doing as well as track their answers. (so you can compare if everyone is missing a question because it was worded poorly).

We are hoping to get Ziiva from Prosperity below as it had a lot of what we are looking for, we will probably pick them up next year after the Outstart finally expires. (Did I mention you should avoid them like the plague?).

What is the best way to convert a multiple-page MS Word document into an image for use in Adobe Photoshop CS2?

November 7, 2009 - 6:38 am 2 Comments

I have a 2-page Microsoft Word document that I need to convert into an image for use in Photoshop. The Word document contains a table w/ cells & text. Tried to select all, copy, paste but not everything is pasting into Photoshop. What is the best way to turn the entire document AS IT IS into an image?

While you’re in Microsoft Word, just save the file as a j-peg or pdf and open it in Photoshop. You may have to save each page separately, I don’t think that Photoshop does multiple page documents. You won’t be able to edit it in Photoshop but, you will have an image.

What is the best computer I can get today for medical imaging processing?

November 4, 2009 - 4:38 pm 1 Comment

I work at the radiology department of a hospital. A lot of the work involves image processing like segmentation. Programs that I need to use show the body and other things in 3D.

What is the best computer I can use today?
It has to go fast.
It has to be stable
It has to be able to show interactive 3D volumes easily.
It has to be able to deal with large amounts of data.

well a lot of hospitals use tablets. i would go and spend the extra money to buy a really good computer. apples are good and so fujitsu. fujitsu tablets are VEry good.

How do i transmit medical claims over the net?

November 2, 2009 - 3:31 am 2 Comments

I had someone develop a medical software, but they don’t know how to create the EDI submission part of it. Or they created the EDI, but don’t know how to intergrade it so that the medical claims can be sent via the web-based application. It’s a web based software and needs the ability to be able to submit the cms 1500 claims to insurance carriers.

Again, the EDI portion is done, but they have reached a wall in terms of how to connect it all and be able to send claims to various carriers.

Please be as specific in your explanation if you assist with this.

Thank you.

I guess you hired the wrong programmer to the the EDI part then? Also, it seems like you’re not even sure which part is missing.

In any case, you need to talk to the person who developed what you already have and find out, exactly, what parts are missing to do the EDI exchange.

From there, if the only thing missing is the actual "send the data to the carrier", then I guess the first step would be to contact the carrier and get their specs. If other parts are missing, you’ll need to get us more info before we can help you further.

On the other hand, it may be better in the long run to hire someone who does this for a living. Check out TriMed Solution’s "FastEMC" product. It’s HIPAA-compliant and handles CMS 1500 forms along with others.

Do you know of any good web hosting companies?

November 2, 2009 - 3:30 am 7 Comments

I’m looking for a web hosting company to host my business website. I’d like to conduct some e-commerce and also to be able to set up a content management system on my site. Do you know of any good web hosting companies that could accomodate someone with needing these features?

I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html

They’re the best:

1. You get a free domain from them (actually 2 if you use the promo code, more about that later)
2. They have 500 GB of Disk Space and increasing weekly
3. 5TB (5000 GB) of Bandwidth and increasing weekly
4. You can use their huge Disk Space and host multiple sites on a single account.
5. Their standard price is $119.40/year ($9.95/month if you pay yearly)
but you can use the Promo Code: PLUS (at sign up page) and get the $50 discount + 2 Free Domain Names
6. This way you get them for $69.40/year ($5.78/month)

P.S. They have OneClick Install so you can install a bunch of software like Wordpress, Joomla either totally automatically, or using advanced setup, or you can even install manually whatever CMS you want.

P.S. If you’re willing to pay $20+/monthly for a webhost I recommend:

1. http://www.mediatemple.com
2. http://www.slicehost.com

What is a content management system? – How does it work (basic english lol)?

November 2, 2009 - 3:30 am 2 Comments

hey im new to user systems as all my websites are basic
http://ihome.co.nr < and I am thinking of setting up a user system and just lots of info would help… like where to start! thnx

A content management system is basically something that helps you put information (like news posts) on your website without having to open and edit your files directly.

I hope that’s simple English for ya! ;)
