9 Open Source Microblogging Applications
Microblogging, with the wide usage of Twitter, is a hot subject in today’s web. Using few words & spending less effort compared to the standard blogging, it becomes possible to share knowledge, feelings, etc. And, it keeps users connected to other users with the simple yet powerful community features. While there are very popular microblogging services like Twitter, Tumblr or Plurk, being a rival may not be (or may be) the best idea.

15 lbs of muscle in ONE MONTH!!!
The title of this thread grabbed your attention, didn’t it? Adding 15 lbs of primarily lean muscle mass in one month may seem like a pipedream to many of you. You slave away 4, 5, or more days a week in the gym and you faithfully take your protein supplements yet you just don’t get the results you want.

You’re not a “hard gainer”, you just haven’t done it right!

Stock Technical Analysis: Fibonacci for stock trading tutorial
Fibonacci Numbers Overview Use in Trading ABC's Confluence Trading Strategies Links (Elliot Wave Tutorials) Overview Fibonacci numbers are the result of work by Leonardo Fibonacci in the early 1200's while studying the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. The fibonacci series is a numerical sequence comprised of adding the previous numbers together, i.e., (1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233 etc..) An interesting property of these numbers is that as the series proceeds, any given number is 1.618 times the preceding number and 0.618% of the next number. (34/55 = 55/89 = 144/233 =0.618) (55/34 =89/55 =233/144 =1.618), and 1.618 =1/0.618. This properties of the fibonacci series occur throughout nature, science and math and is the number 0.618 is often referred to as the "golden ratio" as it is the root of the following polynomial x^2+x-1=0 which can be rearranged to x= 1/(1+x). So that's were the fib # 0.618 comes from. and 0.5 is the mean of the two numbers. A-B =C-D when B-C =38.2% of A-B Links

Trader's Excel Spreadsheets
Attached is a rather rare sample database that downloads Yahoo quote data into an MS Access database. I'm posting this for traders who have MS Access programming experience and want to further develop their trading databases. I've seen a lot of postings on MS Access forums requesting for this information and I finally found a sample. This sample is posted on the Google Answers forum by aht-ga, Google Answers Researcher Automatically Importing Stock info from the web into MS Access. aht-ga has given us a good example of how to accomplish this download process that requires using Yahoo Query Language (YQL) to interface with MS Access. Although this is a good example of how to download to a csv file and then import the data back into Access, a posting by Albert D. Kallal shows how to download quotes directly into Access using many of the available quote properties. If you don't have MS Access, you can still see these samples by using MS Access Runtime.
XPath Tutorial
In this tutorial, you will be given a gentle introduction to XPath , a query language that can be used to select arbitrary parts of HTML documents in calibre. XPath is a widely used standard, and googling it will yield a ton of information. This tutorial, however, focuses on using XPath for ebook related tasks like finding chapter headings in an unstructured HTML document. The simplest form of selection is to select tags by name. //h:h2 (Selects all <h2> tags) The prefix // means . //h:a/h:span (Selects <span> tags inside <a> tags) If you want to search for tags at a particular level in the document, change the prefix: /h:body/h:div/h:p (Selects <p> tags that are children of <div> tags that are children of the <body> tag) This will match only <p>A very short ebook to demonstrate the use of XPath. Now suppose you want to select both <h1> and <h2> tags. //*[name()='h1' or name()='h2'] To select tags based on their attributes, the use of predicates is required:
