I got to thinking the other day about how I used to inspect when I first started in the early 90s and how things have changed over the years. I used to hand write the real estate inspection report with carbon paper. Remember that stuff? I would give one copy to the buyer and keep one. God help me if I had the carbon paper the wrong way, didnt write clearly or ran out of one of the forms. I dressed in blue jeans and a work shirt and when I finished the inspection I went off and did whatever I needed to do as a general contractor.
Now I have a uniform, I only do Commercial Real Estate Inspections, I take digital pictures, I put everything on a computer, the report is at least 50 pages long and when it is done I email it to all the parties within 24 hours. My how times change.

Together, they formed Omnyx, LLC, which would build and market a system for digital pathology. To date, digital pathology is a market that’s only been nibbled at the edges, and is primarily the domain of microscope companies such as Zeiss, Nikon, and Olympus. However, a small number of companies, bolstered by advances in digital image-gathering, are entering what is predicted to become a $2 to $4 billion industry.
Digital Pathology
Simply put, digital pathology is the utilization of digital photography to capture images on microscope slides. In the past (the early 1990s), there were a number of technical problems with digital imaging of anatomic pathology samples. Digital cameras captured the microscope slide images and stored them. However, the resolution of the digital photographs was not competitive with microscope optics and storage space was limited. A massive amount of data storage was required if the images of an entire microscope slide were to be archived. In addition, the task of capturing the entire microscope slide contents was time-consuming and laborious.
Dick Soenksen, CEO of digital pathology company Aperio Technologies, Inc., believes there are […]

If you are involved in Pay Per Click advertising, there are a few ratios you need to know to make a profit. Although this information is essential, it is often hard to find.This article will attempt to satisfy the thirst for this information and explain the numbers you should be monitoring and what you can expect from your pay per click and sponsored ads.Impression To Click RatioAfter many campaigns on line, I believe the ratio the search engines like is 1% or greater. That is at least one click per 100 impressions. I have noticed that in any ads where my Impression To Click Ratio is less than 1%, Google begins to move my ads down the page and I have to bid more to stay on the first page of results. I have also noticed that when my Impressions Per Click are greater than 1%, my ads seem to rise in the rankings and I can even cut my bids and still stay in good positions. My clients and I shoot for a minimum of 1% Impression To Click Ratio and some ads reach as high as 10%. We suggest you shoot for that range. If you can’t hit […]
