Biography Channel in HD

Biography is one of the A&E Networks channels that is available to satellite TV and cable subscribers in high definition. This channel brings viewers non-stop biographical delights from crime stories to entertainers to authors and so much more. The fact that channels like these are now in HD is a statement to the direction of technology. All channels look better in HD and having this capability with Biography, Discovery and the History channel brings a more educational aspect to home entertainment.

Years ago many may remember the television series that became this stations namesake. The series Biography has been running since 1962 and continues to draw a huge following especially since the introduction of Biography in stunning HD. Originally this series presented biographies on many historic, politic and social figures and later introduced biographies with sports, business, and entertainment figures. Some of the featured individuals to this show have been the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, Elvis Presley, Judy Garland, Robin Williams, Wal-mart founder Sam Walton, Barack Obama, and even fictional characters such as Superman.

Today the Biography channel still plays its namesake series alongside an incredible lineup of shows including Case Crackers, Notorious, Mobsters, Haunted History, Unexplained Mysteries, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and Crime Stories to name a few. Viewers who are looking for Hollywood biographies can tune in to Famous, crime enthusiasts can see actual parole hearings on Parole Board, and children ages 8 to 12 can tune in to Bio4Kids to learn about historical figures such as George Washington, Geronimo, Amelia Earhart and more.

There is something for everyone on this channel. Many programs have been around for years on different network channels and are treasured favorites. Others are new with viewer numbers rise rapidly. These programs are an excellent way to keep your mind active and learning whether you are 10 or 50.

As A&E continues to keep up with the latest in technology and now you can see Biography's splendor in crystal clear high-def all day long every day. Watching the lives of individuals unfold on the screen as it was meant to be seen makes the HD experience incredible.

Lines of Trends and Lines Channel Currency Market - Forex For Beginners!

Trend - directional price movement in one direction or another. Somehow it is assumed that prices can only rise or fall, but a fairly significant amount of time currencies traded in narrow price ranges. Therefore, more correctly, it would be, in full accordance with Dow theory, three types of trends:

1. "Bull" (or upward) - prices are rising (the definition went from a comparison with bull horns, which raises production);

2. "Bear" - prices are falling (in this case bear "lean" whole body on the price and "crushed" her by herself);

3. "Flat" (or lateral) - prices are in narrow price ranges. Typically, market consolidation occurs before the subsequent rapid growth or decline in prices.

Thus, before technical analysts, there are two targets:

1. Determine the trend - for this, usually used trend indicators and trend lines or channels.

2. Determine the strength of the trend - this will help you oscillators (Oscillators are used to determine the strength of a trend in the currency market and the opening position in a flat!) and graphical models.

Channel Lines: construction and main signals.

Important role in the trend analysis are the channel, which is a kind of limiters magnitude of exchange rate fluctuations. First, construct a trend line, then parallel to a straight line. One of the lines connecting peaks of a price chart, the other - bottoms.

The practical value of the channel lines that:


A landmark, where you can record a gain or loss. In the case of upward channel Take Profit orders can be put under the top line, and Stop Loss - at the bottom. In the case of the downward channel Order Take Profit should be placed on the bottom line, and Stop Loss - over top.
If the price is not reached the top of the line upward channel (bottom line of the downward channel), this indicates the weakness of the current trend.

To construct lines canal in MetaTrader 4 highlight the trend line by double clicking the left mouse button, click (and hold) the Ctrl key and move the parallel line that appears in its place in the chart price. Then release the key Ctrl.

And the trend lines and channel lines are basically lines of support / resistance.

Channel Partner Strategy - Return the Favor and Increase Your Partners' Traffic

A channel partner strategy is an effective way for a parent company to boost the profitability of its channel distribution network. The partners' role is so important to the channel, but parent companies often forget to return the favor. By using organic strategies for an online search as party of a channel partner strategy, they can allow partners to benefit from increased traffic.

The reason why people emphasize the importance of sales strategies is because the staggering competition of today's marketplace requires companies to gain tactical advantage. In the past, products alone can keep channels afloat. But now, it's not about what goods and services you sell, but rather the method by which you sell them. This is where an effective strategy comes in. It provides companies with a blueprint of getting things done. It is a marketing guide that will lead them towards making the right decisions that will allow them to realize their set business goals and objectives successfully. Usually, these goals are centered on increased profitability, and selling is one of the biggest generators of revenue for any business.

Partners play an important role in the selling and marketing of parent company products. In channel distribution network, they are the ones who greatly contribute to profit generation by selling goods and services down a pipeline towards the end consumers. Heavily versed in consumer needs and demands, they know how to deal with the target market effectively. This makes them indispensable to a channel and companies are usually dependent on their activities. Parent companies usually repay the favor by providing them with the support, programs, tools and resources they need to function well. However, they lack more effort in driving traffic to them. But how will a manufacturer increase the traffic of their partners? They can accomplish this through the optimization and enhancement of partner Google Map locations and websites.

• Partner Page Optimization

Parent companies should create landing pages so that they can help drive more traffic to their channel member websites. This is particularly useful for organic searches that are specific to geographic location. If there is increased traffic, then partners can take advantage of selling more products so that they can realize their own specific business goals, and at the same time help the parent company accomplish its own. The bottom line is that this kind of business relationship should always be mutually beneficial for increased motivation and better results.

• Partner Location Information Availability via Google

The location information of partners should be made available through the Local Business Center of the top search engine, Google. Uploading such essential details will help customers find partners who conduct business in specific, preferred locations. This will help boost sales and increase customer interaction. End consumers will become more aware of whom to approach in case they have needs for a certain product or service.

It is important for various companies to remember that partners are not employees. They are individual businesses that have their own strategies, goals, objectives, mission and vision. This means that they can act entirely on their own accord. It implies that parent companies should give them a reason to perform at their best, because they will not expend unnecessary energy on something that will not benefit them significantly.

YouTube Marketing - 3 Best Benefits of Using YouTube to Market Your Business

YouTube has gone popular overnight. Once the favorite haunt of amateur home video makers - it is now the breeding ground for marketing strategies. And why not? Why, even e-celebrities (or those who became virtual world celebs after putting their videos on YouTube) have launched their careers on YouTube. So, why not use it as your very own marketing tool?

Here are some reasons why you should think about exploring the possibilities of YouTube marketing:

1. Rising through the ranks.

PageRank. Now that Google owns the rights for YouTube, it follows that YouTube will be given a priority in Google's PageRanking. People using Google search engine will probably see YouTube catapult ahead of the line, which is a great way to maximize your site's visibility in the virtual world.

2. Spare your corporate site the bandwidth drain that comes with streaming video.

For companies, generating exposure or new business via YouTube may be low in priority. However, some business are finding it as a great place to keep and park video clips using bandwidth of YouTube with just a simple link from their corporate site.

3. Create your own customer and channel base.

Every time you post a video in your account, YouTube creates a profile channel. Avid viewers can be part of that channel and subscribe to it. Businesses can then send newsletters via e-mails to those subscribers.

Embrace technology and let it help you with your business. It has work for a lot of people, so, you may as well jump in the bandwagon and use YouTube marketing. And if it doesn't work - no worries, it's free.

A Brief Description About an 8 Channel Mixer

Although the 8 channel mixer has limited usability but still they are one of the easy to use mixer in different locations, such as in small music events, lecture halls, home music system etc. We can think about using of the 8 channel mixers at different situations, such as we can create the scenario by getting the sound inputs through 8 different microphones and then lining up those 8 sound source into one. These different microphones can be coupled to another source of music such as guitars, keyboards and vocalists. The 8 channel mixer uses the limited set of features and sends the new generated sound to the outputs. These outputs may be connected to high amplified series loud speakers; generally this type of set up is used in music halls.

To the 8 channel mixer we can add the input such as predefined amplified sound source or recording device with prefixed equalizers and pitch of intensity. The typical layout of the user interface of the 8 channel mixers, unlike the bigger mixers the 8 channel mixer has the output components connection on the left side while the main master control area is situated at the right side of the component. The 8 channel mixer has individual 8 channels. Each of these channels has a potentiometer which is used for showing the intensity of the sound. In addition to this the channel is provided with the knob to manipulate the intensity and amplitude of the final output sound. In addition to the above controls the channels are provided with the main central cross faders. The inputs of the channels are coordinated with the gain control button to have a buffer action i.e. a reverse intensity of the sound.

Well we have just counted the standard controls of a typical 8 channel mixer; there are some additional controls also available to the mixer's channels. These controls are used to control the treble, bass and mid-range of the sound track. In some of the mixers you might get limited control features on the equalizer set, but this is not the drawback. In fact too many controls on an equalizer can make a learner to manipulate the soundtracks in such a way that the quality of the sound may get distorted by the changed values. Hence it has been seen in the manual of the mixers, not to use equalizer more and more to avoid the overriding and interfering of the soundtracks. Some of these have the feature of auto set up of values such as frequency, pitch, treble etc. this auto set up is very useful to avoid the interference of the soundtracks.

Catching Channel Catfish

Of the over fifty species of catfish living in North American waters, the Channel Catfish is one of the most sought-after by cat anglers, for its incredible fighting power, even in a smaller fish, and also for its delectable eating qualities.

And, there's the fact that a decent-sized Channel cat can easily be in the mid-20 lb. range, with specimens having been taken at nearly 60 lbs. - no small catch, indeed. However, to take a fish like these, requires proper tackle, bait and technique, and above all, the right spot to find the fish you want.

Channel cats, as with virtually all catfish, prefer deeper water, but Channel cats also like it clean, clear, and with a decent current running through. The ideal spots for Channel cats are in places such as the deep holes carved out under a dam outfall, before the shallow "white water" which usually ensues, or in a deep, fast channel in between two lakes, hence the fish's name. Bottom conditions that are mostly rock or rocky, and without too many weeds, are other features to look for, in selecting the ideal Channel cat spot. Above all, find deep water, preferably a hole, where the constant darkness gives the cats the edge on everything else that swims or floats there, due to their exceptional, almost shark-like sense of smell, and their set of eight barbels, or "whiskers" around their mouths, which are not only tactile sensors, but highly developed taste organs as well, enabling the fish to navigate, plus detect, locate, quantify and qualify food items easily, in near total darkness.

As with all catfish, Channel cats have weak eyesight, anyway, but their aforementioned superpowers of smell and sightless sensation more than make up for this. Because of this particular development, Channel cats, and cats in general, are most easily attracted to baits which exhibit an exceptional level of odour, whether or not it's a bad odour.

Once you've found a spot that you think, or know, can produce a good-sized Channel cat, you'll want to prepare the fish, the spot, and your tackle, for your coming fishing expedition. Preparing the fish, and the spot, means chumming the water with a suitably prepared concoction, preferably a few times in advance of the first time you put a line in the water, and at least once, and possibly several times, during your fishing time.

Chumming is one way to gradually condition the fish to accept a particular bait, by presenting them with its smell, again and again, until they are willing to take a large piece of that food, when they find it as bait on the end of your line.

There are dozens of recipes for chum, but most all of them are based on a moist base of stale bread crust, with a bran, oatmeal or flour stiffening agent mixed into it, plus some small pieces of the same bait that you will be using when you fish the spot, and then, some kind of extra-scented additive, such as fish fertilizer or fish paste, cod liver oil, anise seed oil, or anything else you can find that will stink out the neighborhood.

Transform a Meaningless Buzz Term Into Channel Gold

We all have several friends or acquaintances who have been logging a lot of time in front of their computer screens and attending a never-ending succession of networking events-all in the name of moving from the ranks of the unemployed to the employed. With recent figures showing six applicants per each U.S. job opening, it's an unenviable position in which to be. An exponentially growing number of hiring employers are clamoring for applicants with social networking skills. Similarly, IT manufacturers view the phenomenon as "the next big thing" as it relates to their channel partners' marketing activities on their behalf.

Is it the next big thing? Yes!

Before you can expect the channel to leverage social networking tools to market your widgets, you need a clear idea of what these tools are, what they can do for you, what you want them to do for you, and how your partners can use them for your benefit.

Most everyone is familiar with and has a relatively clear understanding of the blogosphere, thanks to at least several blogs (i.e., The Drudge Report, The Huffington Post) that have transitioned into the mainstream. Facebook and other such social networking sites, including Twitter, LinkedIn, and MySpace, are what you might call "next-generation blogs" with hundreds of millions of members. Their sheer mass popularity should inspire manufacturers to make haste in leveraging these newest of marketing tools.

Think about this for a minute. You long ago enlisted-and have for many years leveraged-your channel partners' marketing and promotional expertise based on stodgy-but-still-effective snail mailings, telephone contact, face-to-face sales calls to end-users, and, most recently, email. The telephone, quite some time ago, was the latest and greatest social networking tool around. Do you hear me, Mr. Bell?

Regardless of the tools your channel partners use to reach end-users, they can afford to allocate more dedicated people and financial resources to social media-driven marketing and promotional activities than you can. Sure, your employees can dabble on these sites on your behalf in their spare time, but there's also a clear and present danger that they'll be spending an inordinate amount of time playing on them instead of performing their primary job functions.

Setting up a free Facebook or Twitter account is infinitely less time-consuming than reaching prospects the old-fashioned way; you can easily do it yourself with a minimum of effort. But your channel partners can assign specific employees whose sole responsibility is to populate your online business profile with news and missives about your product offerings, special promotions and events, and other information designed to drive traffic to your corporate website and, in general, generate buzz.

End-users become friends of your corporation and have the unlimited ability to post thoughts, concerns, and suggestions regarding your product offerings, technology integration opportunities and issues, and reviews of how your widget, combined with your channel partners' technical wizardry, has solved a specific business problem.

Positive postings like this snowball into electronic word-of-mouth on behalf of both your company and your channel partners, generating instant sales leads and referrals while positioning the two of you as visionary leaders in your respective, tangential fields. Conversely, you and your partners have an immediate opportunity, in the same forum, to quickly address any negatives about your product or service, demonstrating your customer service commitment and responsiveness.

Pretty simple, isn't it? Are you working with your channel partners to social network? If not, what are you waiting for?

Channel Changes

Every so often the whole technology industry changes and 2010 will be one of those years. If you are responsible for purchasing or evaluating technology products or services, much of what you've learned and utilized to make decisions has already or is in the process of changing. You know your needs have changed as everyone has had to tighten their belt. If there's been little budget spent in the last few years at your organization on technology, then the following are things to consider.

Being in the middle of the country, local understanding and adoption of current technology often lags the rest of the nation by 18 - 36 months. Making legacy decisions on current technology could cost your organization more, while positioning behind competitors with little hope of recovery. The four main areas you should begin to understand are 64bit, virtualization, remote access, and unified messaging.

64bit means the processing speed doubles as well as the amount of memory, but you don't have to buy "enterprise" software. Servers and associated platforms and applications are now generally all 64bit compliant. Unless your line of business application (like accounting) is 64bit compatible, this is not the year to get 64bit operating systems on desktops as most productivity software like Microsoft Office does not have a 64bit version.

If you have four or more servers, it's time to leverage virtualization. This simply means an application is running that runs several servers within one box. If this sounds risky, consider that you often run multiple things on a server with no concern. The difference with virtualization is that you can have a second server or host to copy the virtual server image files or have running in case of a failure. So recovery is in minutes rather than days for a traditional server failure. Microsoft Hyper-V is recommended instead of VMWare for no cost and little difference in functionality. Common mistakes to avoid are only purchasing one server host and not considering storage which should be a Storage Attached Network (SAN) box and not a legacy slow and costly Network Attached Storage (NAS) box.

Why are you using that VPN? It's difficult to connect, often down, and slow. The time is now to see a demonstration of gateway services. You can use a browser for access, have a personal desktop, and even copy files without all the hassle. Most customers are choosing Microsoft 2008 Gateway services over Citrix to save the licensing cost. Be sure to ask your software manufacturer for compatibility.

Do you love your Blackberry and e-mail? Well, Blackberry now trails the market versus iPhone, Windows Mobile, and even the new Android devices. Blackberry devices require additional server hardware and licensing, so while they started mobility remaining viability is questionable. Likewise managing e-mail consumes tons of time for little business return. Organizations that implement instant messaging/presence often see a 30% reduction in e-mail immediately and get some time back to do real work. Use Office Communicator for roaming presence and integrated security versus free clients like Windows Messenger lacking these features. Add a camera and you can do everything but reach out and shake hands.

The major manufacturers themselves are changing, all rushing to offer more integration and hosted services to change forever the relationship with customers, partners, and resellers. We've all been taught over the years that multi-vendor solutions offer best-of-breed and better security, but many of the major players including Microsoft have been quietly adding integrated products like anti-virus and backup. You can't really argue when an offering is by the manufacturer, for the manufacturer's products, and does more and costs less than third-party offerings.

Microsoft has changed the Partner Program to the Partner Network, so there will shortly be no more undiscerning Gold Partners with some having high competency and the majority with the same designation simply selling software or having customers respond to a questionnaire. Further, individual certifications have all changed to specializations like Technology Specialist in Messaging or Enterprise IT Professional, so that MCSE from 2003 no longer has meaning. Hardware manufacturer's like Dell are following suit, recognizing that the on-line open book 30 minute test is not a discerning certification. Established players spend significant dollars for their own infrastructure offerings and have teams of sales and technical people trained in current technology for an organization Enterprise Certification. Thankfully, soon gone are the days when a cabling contractor and PC builder can tout themselves as experts with no degree or current credentials, duping customers by marking up commodity products and adding no real value while wearing more logos than a race car.

Principles of Channel Recruitment

It is a well known fact that companies spend a lot of money and time just trying to get information from their competitors. However, few spend as much time and money in researching their channel partners' data. That is to say that most would rather screw over the competition rather than help strengthen bonds with allies that bring in the revenue. Knowing enough about one's partner network is crucial, especially during the process of channel recruitment where this knowledge will come into play. How can a company determine which partners would be most valuable? Here are the guiding principles in the recruitment process.

Capability

One must asses the partner's current situation. How big or small is this company's sales force and how good are they as seen from their track record? Also, what kind of marketing strategies does this company do in order to increase sales? Such questions will require a lot of research but will provide very important criteria.

Coverage

The company will of course need to know the geographic area where the potential reseller is located. Apart from this, the company must also know the vertical and horizontal market rank that the potential reseller works well in. What kind of market do these people target in their marketing campaigns and what effect will they have on the product or service of the parent company?

Potential

How much can the company handle and how much further can it grow? In order to answer this question, one may have to consider the physical infrastructure, the staff or human resources, the number of clients, or even the amount of supply the company can handle. It all depends on what kind of partner one is looking at. This is a very important question for channel recruitment since the growth capacity of the company will determine just how much resource they can spare for the parent company, which will translate to how much revenue they are likely to produce.

Credit Worthiness

The credit score of the potential candidate is another important element to look into when thinking about establishing a partnership that will involve a lot of transactions. Just as in any transaction, one's credit must be good so that trust between the two parties can exist. If the answer is that they are not credit-worthy, then a partnership between them might create a bad risk situation for the parent company.

Dedication

This factor is a much more unstable data since it is in flux. And the further good relationship will create more commitment. However, at the start, one can determine how committed a company will be to the selling of a vendor's products. Ask just how much can that company invest or is willing to invest for the relationship. One can see this clearly when the sales of the company are high or are low.

These are just some of the most overt major principles that must be considered as the criteria for selecting the best channel partner. Taking the time and resources to determine the answers to these questions is an important part of good channel recruitment.

Essential Partner Portal Modules

Successful channel partner programs usually have clear channel partner strategy and technology backing their every activity and the technology involved with channel partners are called partner portals. Partner portals are web-based applications usually using cloud technology hosted by third parties with expertise on PRM or Partner Relationship Management software. Specific modules for different purposes create a comprehensive portal to cater to the needs of channel partners and keep them motivated. Do you need such a portal? If you want success for your business, this investment is necessary. Standard modules of a reliable partner portal include:

Partner Profile Page
The very basic things to have are individual pages unique to each partner that generally enumerates their company profile. As an administrator, you will be able to view their business activities, assess their progress and predict sales trends. Partner profiles are important business indicators that will enable you to make informed decisions.

Marketing Resources
Third party software developers of portals create a customizable resource library where channel vendors can easily change the themes to reflect their own company's themes and logos. It is very important for channel partners to have access to marketing materials that could enable them to sell more products.

Business Plan
For every business, a plan is needed to move the company forward. Channel partner strategy plays an important role in the growth of the company so the vendor has to establish game plans that partners can agree upon. Vendors and partner must have company objectives in mind so their activities should be synched towards attaining that goal.

Field Engagement
Disseminating opportunities for your channel partners will be easier with a streamlined partner portal system. Field engagement also includes collaborating with particular channels to secure target accounts. The purpose of this module is to track the progress of the sales activity as well as assign opportunities that will hopefully become deals for the partners. Report generation also allows partners to concentrate on more important activities particularly, sales activities.

Lead Management
This is perhaps one of the most important modules that produce tangible results especially on the sales bottom line. Lead management allows vendors to assign leads to particular channel partners. Channel managers will be able to view the progress the partner is making through their updates so any lag or missed leads are easily picked up and re-assigned.

Deal Registration
The traditional problem of channel conflict is avoided with deal registration. Partners submitting unique deals are protected from other partner and the vendor itself from usurpation. Duplicate deals can be filtered hence avoiding potential competition for the same business from different partners. The system promotes harmonious and trusting relationship between partners and vendor.

MDF Automation
Managing Marketing Development Funds will be automated. Channel partners will be able to directly request MDF from the vendor as needed and the status of their request are easily accessed.

Partner Community
A module for social interaction between partners is a good idea to foster a healthy knowledge and experience-sharing environment where tips and ideas are exchanged allowing for partners' growth and development. Vendor also benefit from having a platform where partners can post their feedbacks so vendors will have an idea on what area they can improve on.

Setanta Sports - Channel Distribution

So we all know that Setanta has ceased trading in England, Wales and Scotland, however it is still operating in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia and Africa. Now what does this mean for the distribution of the Premier League's live UK television rights? Previously Premier League TV rights were split into six packages, each consisting of 23 live matches, making a total of 138 games being screened on live television each Football season.

Now you may think that this is not a big deal, and some big shot company like Sky will just reap the profits and monopolize the market holding all six packages for the season....but you'd be wrong. Industry regulators demand that the six packages must be split between more than one broadcaster, so in actual fact there must be a direct competitor to Sky as no single broadcaster are able to own all six packages. This deal was agreed in 2005 with the European Commission. Previously Sky, held four of the six packages(this will be held for the 09-10 season), meaning that the British broadcaster will show 92 live matches next season.

The remaining two packages of 46 games, which were previously held by Setanta were taken over by American broadcaster, ESPN. You may also recall that there were talks of ESPN bailing out Setanta.....guess they had other plans in mind. ESPN have launched a new channel to screen the newly-acquired live matches, that consumers will be able to purchase on top of their current Sky TV subscription as well as other British providers such as Virgin media.

Now this is for the current season.....what will happen in the 2010-2011 season is a different story, my guess is that Sky will attempt to gain more of the games from ESPN. Possibly upping their number of games from 92 to 115 or so, leaving ESPN with 23 games. May that be the case or not, we may be in for a power struggle in the coming year between New commers to the GB premier league ESPN and GB veterans Sky!
