In this article we are going to look at implementing the Facebook Open Graph (OG) tags on a Drupal site. It involves a bit of coding but nothing too major so bear with me. All the code we are going to write goes into the theme's template.php file so no need to to create a module for it. And if your theme does not yet have this file, go ahead and create it. Why use Open Graph tags? I'm sure by now you know that people share pages on Facebook and you want your site to be shared as much as possible. But have you ever noticed that with some sites, when you share pages on Facebook, or like/recommend them, some random, unintented image gets used in this teaser. What are the Open Graph meta tags? These are simple <meta> tags that you put in the head of your site to specify which elements should be used by Facebook for various purposes. The tag is quite simply structured. Simple. The first one is the canonical URL for the page, the second is the site title and the third is the type of site.

The Car Repairs You Can (Seriously) Do Yourself, Despite Your Abilities Replacing belts is not something you just swap, at least on newer cars. On only cars, like early 80s or older, it was feasible. With cars from that era there was often a lot of room within the engine bay. The first thing anyone considering to work on their car should do is buy a service manual. Brakes are relatively easy to do, but it's obviously a critical component on the car and there are things you need to keep in mind.

Learn the Basics of Coding Allowing remote access to your home computer is not the best advice, especially for someone new to programming and security. However, we all do it. Just be aware that you are risking all the data and probably all the other systems on your home network in doing this. Secure web programming is hard, really hard. If you are writing code for your own internal use, working code is the goal. Possibly the most important item to learn is that just because something works, that doesn't mean it is correct or secure. End User Programming If you are on MS-Windows and want to make your PC do things, check out PowerShell programming. If you are on Linux or OSX, check out bash programming. Power User Programming If you want to create cross-platform programs that can have GUIs and aren't CPU intensive, while learning simple and advanced programming techniques, check out Python. Web programming requires a multitude of skills. Professional Programming How to Learn to Program. I disagree with the video:

A Non-Designer&#39;s Guide to Making Attractive Presentation Slides The key there is to make data meaningful and simplified. Presentations are just that, presentations. If they want a report, hand out print-outs and in the presentation make notes on where to find elaborations in the print out. Furthermore, provide a link to a PDF of the report on the company network so that anyone who lost the paper handout can get back to it without bothering you. Seriously, you have to assert that Reports and Presentations serve two different functions and if they don't like it, they can do the "presentation" themselves next time. Be nice about it :-) but also be assertive >:D You're gonna be best served making a PPT template in your free time and just making reports when you are assigned them. But, if your report is just 2-5 pages, go ahead and put the data on the slides. The key is to use visual cues instead of writing things out. Also, don't forget Title Slides, They make is very easy to see what follows and convey very clearly that the last section has ended.

Blue Cross Doctor Finder Search help Find health care providers – doctors, clinics, hospitals and more – by specialty or by name. Can’t find a specific doctor, hospital or other care provider?

You can narrow your search by choosing from a range of criteria when you see your results, such as gender, accepting new patients, hospital affiliation.

Understanding a certificate of creditable coverage January 1, 2010 A "Certificate of Creditable Coverage" is a creation of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (often referred to as HIPAA) designed to ensured that individuals who change health insurance plans will enjoy continuous coverage for ongoing medical treatments. A Certificate of Creditable Coverage applies when a person is joining a new employer-sponsored group health insurance plan and, in a few cases, when enrolling in a state-assisted individual insurance plan. Without this federal law, new enrollees in a health plan might be subject to another waiting period before coverage is offered for pre-existing medical conditions.This could be deterrent for employees who want to change jobs. The Certificate of Creditable Coverage program is designed to be largely automated and requires little effort on the part of health plan members. When you receive a Certificate of Creditable Coverage from the old insurer, check it for accuracy.

Who Built the Pyramids? | Harvard Magazine Jul-Aug 2003 The pyramids and the Great Sphinx rise inexplicably from the desert at Giza, relics of a vanished culture. They dwarf the approaching sprawl of modern Cairo, a city of 16 million. The largest pyramid, built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2530 B.C. and intended to last an eternity, was until early in the twentieth century the biggest building on the planet. The question of who labored to build them, and why, has long been part of their fascination. Until recently, however, the fabulous art and gold treasures of pharaohs like Tutankhamen have overshadowed the efforts of scientific archaeologists to understand how human forces—perhaps all levels of Egyptian society—were mobilized to enable the construction of the pyramids. “I first went to Egypt as a year-abroad student in 1973,” he says, “…and ended up staying for 13 years.” During the mapping, Lehner’s close scrutiny of the Sphinx’s worn and patched surface led him to wonder what archaeological secrets it might divulge.

How to Vanish with a New Identity Dark Side or not, it's always good to say, "Hey, folks. Don't forget, this is illegal. Do it at your own risk. LH is not responsible for any trouble you may cause/get yourself into!" First of all, Dark Side articles have a completely different vibe than almost every other article. In other words, they rarely "fit" with the feeling you get from Lifehacker, especially if you've been here since before Dark Side articles began popping up regularly. Adam Dachis, however, is spinning it to advocate identity theft. Let me make this final point clear: I am not against these types of articles in general. Presenting both ways to protect yourself from identity theft and then ways to steal another person's identity (with a joking tone or not)? They should probably create a separate site dedicated to Dark Side posts. Amen.
