5 CGI Scripts You Must Use to Turn Your Site Into a Powerhouse

Author : Marc Goldman

HTML is great. But what really makes your site super powerful?
The Backend or the processes running in the background that make
everything on your website really click. And what powers the
backend? CGI Scripts. Some of you may know what CGI scripts are
and others may not. CGI scripts are the key to creating
interactive websites that automate your online business. Instead
of getting too technical about scripts, lets talk about 5
powerful CGI scripts that every website should have if they have
any desire to conduct E-commerce. Number 1: First off, you must
have forms on your website. You should be utilizing forms for
everything including retrieving demographic information from
your visitors to processing credit card orders. You can also use
forms to send contact information so that your visitors do not
have to use email to contact you. The beauty of forms is that
not only can you retrieve the information you request, you can
also include hidden fields to be submitted with each form so
that you know certain information like what website the visitor
came from, their IP address (useful for fraud protection) and
much more. Some form scripts even let you send autoresponses to
the submitter. So, for example if someone fills in a form to
sign up for a newsletter, you can send them an automated reply
thanking them for their submission and including basically
anything you want without having to lift a finger. Number 2: The
next script every site should be using is a "recommend it"
script. This is a script that allows your site visitors to
recommend your site to their friends and contacts. Do not
underestimate the power of this little tool. The recommend it
script on our site at http://www.goldbar.net/recomm.html brings
in tons of traffic and prospects that we may never have gotten
on our own. The power of referrals should never, ever be
underestimated. It is far more effective to have someone
recommend your site to their contacts then it is to advertise. I
use the Master Recommend script from William Bontrager,
available for free at: http://www.willmaster.com Number 3:
Affiliate Software. Without a doubt, one of the best investments
you can ever make if you have your own product or service is in
affiliate software. While usually not cheap it is by far one of
the best methods of growing traffic to your site and exploding
your sales. Many people advocate using a 3rd party affiliate
company such as Commission Junction to manage their affilate
programs. This is fine if you are a big company with a huge
budget to WASTE on administrative fees and obscure technical
charges. But, if you are a small to midsized company and you
want to utilize the awesome power of a strictly commissioned
salesforce sending you traffic and sales, you would be crazy to
not consider purchasing affiliate software and installing it on
your own site (or having it installed for you). Some affiliate
scripts are so advanced that you can click one button on the
administrative interface and send all the months commissions to
a check writing program and have the checks printed out and all
you will have to do is sign them. Number 4: Follow Up
Autoresponders: Without a doubt, everyone should be using
automated follow up mechanisms to: A. Capture the email
addresses of targeted prospects interested in your
products/services. B. Send a series of sequential, timed
messages that trigger return visits to your website and turn
potential onetime website visitors into return prospects. c.
Remind customers about additional products and services that
they may wish to order in the future or add to their current
order. These are easy to maintain once they are installed on
your site. All you have to do is write the email responses you
want your prospects to receive and then upload them to your
server. Then tell the script how long a time interval to wait
before sending the next message in the sequence. An important
point when using follow up autoresponders: make sure they offer
an unsubscribe feature so that the recipients can opt out if
they choose to. There are many great scripts out there that you
can install on your own site. This will save you the monthly
fees of using a hosted service but if you choose to use a third
party tool, probably the best one is available from getresponse:
http://www.getresponse.com/?13323 Number 5: An error catcher.
This may sound like a crazy tool to include in this list but
bear with me. How many of you have tried to click on a link and
found yourself on a 404 error page. Most web surfers who
encounter this error immediately leave your site never to return
again.This is probably the worst thing that could happen to an
internet business. What if you could create a page that said,
OOPS you reached this page in error but why not visit the rest
of the site? This is certainly more enticing and if created
properly can help keep a surfer on your site as opposed to off
it. On our site, we use a script that catches errors and
delivers a webpage apologizing for the mistake and offering
other links to pages on our site. We have saved many visitors
this way and we have also created many subscribers and customers
through this method. If you want to see how it works, try this
link http://www.goldbar.net/mistake.html The script we used to
create these pages is freely available and can be set to email
you when someone reaches a 404 page and also help you determine
if anyone is trying to hack into your site or if a CGI script is
not working. It is called errorbot.cgi and can be found at
http://www.perlarchive.com These 5 scripts can make or break an
internet business so why dont more people use them? I believe
they don't have a clue how to install them. If anyone wishes to
have CGI scripts on their site but needs help installing them,
you can usually get help from the programmer or visit a site
like http://www.cgiguru.com who will usually install scripts for
a nominal fee. CGI scripts have been around since the advent of
commerce on the internet and continue to power the best sites.
Even with new technologies such as ASP, Cold Fusion and PHP on
the rise, CGI is the oldest and still the best. Why not get
these 5 scripts running on your website and start powering your
way to new profits.

Breaking Down The Communication Barriers With Your Kids

Author : Anne Wolski

Copyright 2005 Anne WolskiBeing a parent isn't easy. Some days just getting everyone in your family all together at the same time for dinner can seem like the "impossible dream". Between after school sports and clubs and working and errands and carpools, it's not surprising that almost half of the parents in a recent survey said they feel a growing distance between themselves and their children.Today's children have more things to deal with than kids did even twenty years ago. Drugs, violence, mixed messages in advertising, peer pressure, packed schedules and outside activities all add to the pressure they face. On top of that, we are living in a world of growing unemployment, leaving some children wondering where their future lies.Growing up is a continual process filled with regular highs and lows. As a parent, it's expected. But what can you do to help through the tough times they might face down the road of life? Here are some quick tips for those parents that are struggling to understand their changes, both physical and emotional as they grow to young adulthood.Communicate...communicate...communicate. By this I mean proper communication i.e. the exchange of information which involves LISTENING as well as speaking. No matter how compelled you might be, DON'T INTERRUPT THEM! Let them get the weight of their concerns or problems off their chest without "butting in" irregardless of how upset you might be at what they are revealing to you. Yes, they are letting you inside their small, strange world, so be grateful. It will help to strengthen their trust in you not to EXPLODE on them and further open the line of communication between you both.Show understanding and compassion...remember, you were a child struggling through the maze of becoming an adult once yourself. Everything is a drama and their perceived world will crumble quickly if you trivialize their problem.Remember that your children are individuals. They each have their own unique personality traits so don't compare them...celebrate their uniqueness. To do otherwise is to belittle their importance.Above all, LOVE them. Everyone makes mistakes, some more serious than others but they need to know your love is unconditional. Anne Wolski has worked within the health and welfare industry for more than 30 years.

For tourists who belong to Middle East countries, drenching themselves in the monsoon rains is an experience strikingly different from of the desert climates.Even Domestic tourists head for a sylvan retreat in the Himalayan ranges. Tourists who want recluse from the strong heat waves of the plains during the summers usually occupy resorts in these regions of the Himalayas. With the cease-fire between the Indian and the Pakistani forces, the Kashmir's sagging tourism industry has revived to a significant extent. Some of the 'hot-spots' for tourists in India includes Agra for the monument of love, Taj Mahal and Khujraho for its temples and sculptures. Kerala is a highly sought out tourist destination in India for its mesmerizing beauty.

The Role of a logo design in branding a business organization

Author : Harris Jhosta

As Wikipedia states, branding has become an increasingly important component of culture and the economy, now being described as cultural accessories and personal philosophies. Simply put, a brand is a collection of images and ideas representing an economic producer. In laymens terms, branding is the process of creating a recognizable identity for a company or product. In todays society, branding is one of the most important steps that a company can take. Modern consumers are willing to buy a product based solely on the fact that they are familiar with the brand. Because advertising is driven by television and the internet, the visual aspects of a brands identity are extremely important. The most recognizable aspect of a brand is its logo design.Although the average consumer will take it for granted, logo design is an extremely complicated process. Contrary to popular belief, it would be almost impossible to find a major company that designed their logo by accident or chance. In reality, logo design is a process that requires the full attention of a qualified group of individuals.Logo design lies within the larger field of graphic design. According to many industry experts, logo design is considered to be the most difficult part of graphic design. The reason that logo design is so much more difficult than many other areas of graphic design is because a company logo is not just an image. Instead, a logo is an embodiment of an organization. Therefore, a professional logo design team must possess an extremely high level of skills in several different areas. According to several sources, there are a handful of general guidelines which dictate the process of most logo designs.To begin with, all logos should be vector graphics. Logos that are created as vector graphics can be blown up or shrunk down without losing their quality. Therefore, you can use the same logo on a business card and a billboard without sacrificing detail or quality. The next rule that guides logo design is to avoid using gradients as a major feature of any logo. Along the same line, logos should utilize as few colors as possible. This will not only make the task of reproduction much easier, but it will also ensure that a logo design does not overwhelm consumers.In addition to the rules outlined above, there are several guidelines for custom logo design which many people would consider to be common sense. For example, a logo should not feature the face of a person that is still alive. Additionally, a logo should never include imagery that could be classified as culturally sensitive. This could range from national flags to religious icons. Finally, a quality logo design will never rely on photography, clipart or other forms of complex imagery. These items can significantly decrease that a logo design provides for a brand.Even though you the purpose of logo design is to come up with a logo that sets a company or product from the rest of the crowd, a quality logo designer will not try to be over the top in their design. Trying too hard to develop a unique logo can have the same results as blatantly copying another companys logo.

Let the Mortgage Companies Fight for Your Business

Author : jen
The mortgage industry is a highly competitive one, so it is considered wise to shop around for the best deal and let the mortgage companies fight for your business.

The mortgage industry exceeds far beyond that of the banks you see on every street corner as you head into town.
Besides the banks there are the wholesale and retail lenders. Most wholesale lenders encourage the help of mortgage brokers to bring them potential borrowers.

Most mortgage brokers on average deal with more than two hundred wholesale lenders alone. These wholesale lenders are a very diverse group, and their programs and specialties vary from lender to lender.

So if you are considering purchasing a home or refinancing your existing mortgage, donÂ’t be afraid to shop around for the best deal.

It is important to remember that when you are shopping around for a mortgage, nothing is final until you sign on the dotted line at closing.

So donÂ’t be shy when it comes to shopping a few mortgage companies. Remember that they are very competitive and hungry for your business. So allow them to assess your situation, and whichever lender comes back with the best offer to fit your needs and budget should be the lender for you.

When shopping around for a mortgage product, donÂ’t feel the need to keep this a secret. By letting a loan officer know your intentions, you will most likely send them the message that you donÂ’t have time for games and that it will be in their best interest to make you their best possible offer.

The long answer to the question would probably include the broader perspective and would include the question: Which functionalities in the Live Chat Support Software can help me increase my sales?1. The basic functionality of chatting with online customers can help you on several levels: ? By allowing you a direct and real opportunity to assist visitors to make their purchase decisions by answering any type of questions and dealing with any concern they might have during their decision process. ? Your website can?t customize your offers to each customer but your employees can! By chatting with customers through your website, they can offer volume discounts, offer not-standardized products or even get orders to produce completely new products and up-sell on various products. 2. The other functionality is the ability to monitor your visitors. By monitoring your customers, you can see how many visitors you have at any time, which product pages are they visiting and how long are they staying on each of them. Using the generated reports from all those data, you can make plans for re-designing your website to make it easier for them to find certain products or information. For example, if you see that some of your products are very popular, you can put links to them from the home page. Then, if you see that most of your customers view, for example, the ?red collection? of your products, then you can put the red one as the default picture and know it?s going to benefit you. It?s that easy!1. Not only can online sales can be increased.

A very useful tool is the ?initiate chat? with visitors. Just imagine what will your customer think when you will greet and offer assistance to them when they come to your website? If this effort seems too much, you can see if some of them are staying longer on some page and offer customized support. That way, you build your way to increased sales numbers and higher revenues. 3. The last point is the availability of the operators? support by itself. No matter if your visitors want to talk to you, the fact that operator is available provides more credibility and improves the overall picture of your company in the eyes of the visitor. That also leads to increased sales and greater credibility. Most important point here is that if you look long-term, you can create the ultimate experience for your online customers just by getting data about their journeys through your website and carefully listening to their feedback (from your conversations with them).

Kids Love Kid Coloring Pages

Author : niclyn

Wild and woolly weather outside and nothing for the kids to do how about kid coloring pages. All children love to color in and its much better for them to color on a peice of paper than on your walls or floors. Most children love to display their work but sometimes computer paper can be quite expensive when children are young and only put one or two lines on the page and then say they are finished. There are cheaper alternatives to computer paper and give just as much if not more enjoyment to your child but also utilise both sides of the paper twice the amount of time on one peice of paper.Check around at your local cheap shop for a 100 to 150 page coloring activity book and then carefully tear out the pages or cut them out. You will then see that this will give you one page with two pictures on it front and back. Get your child to pick through the pictures until they find one that they want to color in and let them go to it. When they have finished that picture turn it over and get them to color in the other side of the picture. This will keep them entertained for ages if they are tempted to just color one color then encourage them to make it more colorful because you something special planned for their picture once they have finished but they need to make it colorful.Once they are finished there a few different things that you can do with their terrific art work that your kids will think is very special. One is to laminate it and use it as a placemat for them to put their dinner plate on and eat their dinner off of They will be proud as punch to sit down at the table with their own artwork on display at it. Another is to put it in a display folder with clear sleeves to display both sides of their picture this works well because your child can go to their display folder and look at their work and also you will have a neat folder to display their work for years to come, and the other is to stick it up on their bedroom window so when they are inside they can see the picture but when they are playing outside they can see the other picture that they have colored in. So as you can see their are many uses for kid coloring pages. More Info On Kidshttp://www.ideas-from.us/kids/index.htmMake Money Onlinehttp://www.MoneyHomeBiz.com

Protecting Your Domain Name Registration Info From Prying Eyes

Author : Joe Duchesne
While registering a domain name is usually a good thing, it can have some pitfalls. One of them is when your private domain name information becomes available to the internet community through the whois system.Whois refers to a request for information regarding the domain name registrant, administrator, tech support person and billing contact. Each of these sections must be filled with valid name, address and email information. The problem is, this information is totally public and accessible by anyone with a connection to the internet. That means anyone that wants to send you spam can access your email information with ease.The other reason why some people seek private domain name registrations is to avoid being tracked by the search engines. Why would someone worry about that? This would mainly apply to people who have registered multiple domains for the purpose of making money with them like with Google's adsense program. They thought goes that a search engine could theoretically shut down all websites with the same contact information in it. This tactic is being disputed by others who argue that companies like Google have access to the main Registrar's database of whois information and therefore bypass the private domain name registration services.So how does it work? Simply put, another company will act like a proxy for you and put their information in your place while keeping your information available in their private database. You agree to a legal contract that officially allows the domain name registration company to act in your place. They in turn will usually offer to forward all official emails sent to them on behalf of the domain name owner.If you care about privacy, registering your domain name with a private domain registration service is an excellent option. Don't think though that you will never receive spam if you get a private registration. There are many other ways spammers can get your information. One of the most common is to scrape your website for email addresses.Joe Duchesne is the webmaster for Yowling.com which provides domain name registration services along with web hosting and a web site builder.

Socrates and SEO - A Match Made in Heaven

Author : Mary Anne Donovan
What could Socrates and search engine optimization possibly have in common?Lots. Let me make my case.Consider the situation on the Internet today. At last count there were over 8 billion pages indexed on Google, and there are millions of web sites out there as well. The Internet has become a veritable digital world of commerce, education, information exchange, culture, and socialization. To stand out in amongst that crowd is at best, a formidable task, at worst, an impossible one. But with a good search engine optimization plan, you can improve your web site's ranking significantly.And here are a few more factoids that will knock your socks off: in just one year, the number of people using search engines on a daily basis has increased by 38 million to 60 million daily users today, and 41% of today's Internet users use search engines (http://www.dmnews.com, "Search Use Still Soaring Researchers Find").Now, what the heck does Socrates have to do with all of this? For those of you who don't know, Socrates is credited with being the father of Western philosophical thought, and the originator of the "Socratic Method" of learning, which involves gaining truth and knowledge through question and answer. Okay, still haven't quite gotten the SEO connection? How about this – Socrates was also one of the world's first real rhetoricians. What the heck is a rhetorician? It is someone who practices the art and science of rhetoric, otherwise known as "the art of speaking or writing effectively and convincingly" (http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/corinthians/glossary.stm), or also as "language in a dress suit" (http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/humor/TheFoolishDictionary/chap19.html) Others see rhetoric as the skillful and logical use of language for persuasion.Socrates had a real beef with the way rhetoric was practiced in his day. Most rhetoricians back then were more interested in winning their arguments than in practicing ethical rhetoric. (Are you beginning to see the connection?) These artists of the language were masters of manipulation, of twisting and combining words in ways that did not necessarily represent truth, but that made their arguments irrefutable. Socrates took issue with this and believed in using argument, not as an end unto itself, but as a vehicle to discovering truth.Okay, I know, you're getting impatient. So let's jettison forward from Socrates' time of 469 B. C. to 2006 A. D. You know how many web pages there are out there in cyber land, and how many use the search engines on any given day. Thus, doing the math, to get out of the mire of the masses and into the light of the search engine top 10 will take some masterful persuasion in the form of your web site design. And here's where the rhetoric comes in – we call it digital rhetoric – and it is all those things that make your site valuable and usable for visitors, and favorably rated by the search engines.Now, let's think about Socrates again. He was a man of ethics and integrity, a believer in using language honestly and not merely for the purpose of winning. Enter organic SEO. The search engines continuously adjust their algorithms to prevent devious and unethical practices such as doorway pages, hidden text, and cloaking – those devices used strictly to "win" as opposed to presenting a truthful, content-rich, "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" web site. Indeed, the search engines' goal is to provide users with quality results to keep them from going elsewhere.Okay, so before we close, let's review this Socrates SEO connection. Socrates was a man of ethics and integrity, a master of rhetoric – the art or persuasion – as a means of discovering the truth and enriching the stores of knowledge during his time. Likewise, to make it amidst the search engines throngs requires the use of masterful digital rhetoric – rich, truthful content; legitimate use of keywords; and honest, straight-forward page design.Mary Anne Donovan is both a scholar and a practitioner, a balance that "gives her the best of both worlds: the theory behind digital communications and the hands-on experience to know what really works and what doesn't."She is in her tenth year as a professor of technical writing and business communications at St. John Fisher College while at the same time serves as Vice President and Director of U.S. Operations for SEOLinkingCourses, Inc., a search engine optimization consulting and training company.Mary Anne has worked with computers since they first came out of the closet and into more general application, starting with computerized quality control systems for Kodak photographic and printing processes and now with the fine points of SEO theory and application.

Revival Fires in America ? Where Will They Light

Author : Rev Michael Bresciani

When a church puts a banner out announcing that they are holding a revival that usually means one thing. It means the evangelist is coming to fire up the church. It is said that an expert is only a man from out of town with a brief case. Can the church live in this cycle of inactivity followed by forced fire. The answer is an unequivocal no, but even more so as we approach the coming calamities of the ?Last Days.?The movie ?Jesus Camp? was produced largely by democratic and liberal film makers. It was used in part to show how kids are indoctrinated into what is called a subculture offshoot from the conservative movement. The film betrayed its makers in that some of the exuberance and genuineness of the kids is undeniably exciting and creates a picture of kids realizing a potential far beyond the path that pop culture and media now beckons youth to tread. It may frighten some people to see what youth can look like if they were to willfully reject the barrage of media garbage in films, games and music they now endure daily.The film first shown at the ?SilverDocs? festival and released in 2006 is directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. Critics have tried to place the picture in a category that depicts only a segment of America?s evangelical subculture. It has wiggled far out of that slot because many Americans are quite tired of the worn out cycle of church apathy and forced revivals and are now looking for a genuine move of God?s Holy Spirit in our time?why not youth?In the late fifties and early sixties churches in America were in the deepest lull since before World War Two. With the boys back home again and the new materialism emerging attention was drawn away from the American church like a magnet to the iron. The church seemed to be going the way of all flesh along with the general public. During the late fifties church attendance careened down to an all time low and participation in cake sales and bizarres were the only detectable life signs left to the whimpering body of believers. It became a joke among the preachers to say ?on Sunday morning the church gave up her dead.? Except for the emergence of powerful ministers like Oral Roberts and Billy Graham the church was all but stalled. Enter the Jesus People.The Jesus movement or as some say the Jesus revolution of the sixties crossed all cultural lines. Hippies, durggers, poor, black, white and a thousand other classes were taking part in a return to the simple preaching and living of the gospel. It was proof that God is always calling people and not simply running a wake up service. A few churches like the Calvary Chapel in California decided to open their doors to the new breed of believer regardless of how they were dressed, how they talked or their background. Those churches were blessed and expanded rapidly. Other churches were started by the newcomers in store fronts and new church plants and they witnessed phenomenal growth and showed a flux of power unseen in America in several decades.Following the Jesus movement of the sixties was the charismatic renewal of the seventies and early eighties. Names like Kenneth Hagin, Don Basham, Judson Cornwall, Derek Prince and Bob Mumford became well known to millions of Americans who became more open to the work of the third person of the trinity, the Holy Spirit. Like all widely accepted movements the charismatic movement lost most of its momentum to its own success. The Catholic charismatic movement bogged down in heavy Mariology, liturgies, ceremonialism and restrictions from the Vatican. The protestant side had the life squeezed out of it by growing formularism and traditionalism. God it seems won?t be painted into a corner. No one can erect a building, sing all the right songs and lay hands on the whole congregation and thus expect the Holy Spirit to jump in and do what he always does. Thousands began thinking that if they offered God the ?sacrifice of praise? they didn?t need to offer much more except to show up in church. What follows is like the metals used in U.S. coinage it keeps going down in intrinsic value. Forget gold coins; forget silver coins, hey, try to find ordinary copper as in a penny?can?t be done.Along comes the cultural church of the nineties and the present. Many books have now been written on how to build a flourishing cultural church. The idea is to go to a neighborhood where the median income is pretty high and plant a church that will draw the race, income level and general demeanor of that area into your church where only success can be expected, taught and amplified in all speech, appearance and endeavor. Unknown to many who are part of this new movement is the fact that even while they are succeeding they may be miserably failing if held up to God?s definition of success. The cultural church of today should take a warning from the most well known cultural church of yesterday. In the book of Revelation Jesus addresses that church with a scathing rebuke?Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Revelation 3:17 KJV So what?s next? I share the belief with many today that what is next will shake the very foundations of the church as we have always known it. It is not a hidden or obscure idea but it is a promise made by God and it will come on the strength of his purpose and nothing more. It is found and outlined in the following verses of scripture.And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. Joel 2: 28-32 KJVMen women and children will begin to speak and preach with more authority and power than any mere evangelist. Children and young people will willingly reject the media onslaught that is leveled at them daily and will share their faith with others in a way that will make the movie ?Jesus Camp? look contrived. Older people will begin seeing visions and sights that heretofore were only thought to happen among the ?saints? of the past and powerful biblical characters. It is God?s last thrust so it will be his best.By now some reading this article will view this as a very extreme view and an altogether unlikely prognostication at best. Hold on there?s more. After the Antichrist appears and begins his rule over the entire earth there is yet to come two more prophet evangelists who break every mold ever found or imagined. They will not only speak and give prophetic utterance all over the world but they will possess power to remove by force anyone who may come against them. See Revelation 11:1f. The final frosting on the cake comes when before the entire world they are slain and their bodies are bemused and ridiculed for days until every person on earth will see them resurrected again and then ascend upward.This will create no small stir and millions will be converted by these events. Those who still scoff at the resurrection of Christ will have one more chance to change their minds about the God who has complete authority over life and death. The next heated revival in the church will be its final and greatest fire not just another guy from out of town with a briefcase trying to waken a sleeping congregation.

When not to contact a reporter

Author : Paul Wilson

News is about disseminating information that is to everyone. So
follow the golden rule: Only contact a reporter if there is
something concrete and news worthy to convey. Most reporters,
work on tight deadlines and wasting their time is unjust.

Just as you learn how to present news, give interviews, or
prepare press releases, it is essential to know when. Here are a
few points to keep in mind:

Never contact a reporter if: * What you want reported is mere
hearsay or you don't have concrete facts. Never be instrumental
in spreading rumours. Reporting is serious business and
spreading gossip is not its mainstay.

* The media is caught up in a media blitz--political turmoil,
war, a deluge, natural calamities, and so on. When there is
breaking news in progress, everyday stories become unimportant
and irrelevant. So, pause a moment and desist.

* You have a "media release" but aren't sure when all the plans
will fall into place. Never take the last step unless you have
accurate, concise, and clear information.

* You don't have adequate time for an in depth interview. Give
your self enough time to prepare and enough time for the
reporter to interview you--to be complete and rounded, any
interview allow for the facts to be grasped and the picture
drawn clearly.

* The news you have is not ethical but sensational news.
Remember, you must pay to a person's right to privacy,
confidentiality, and protection from harm and retribution. This
is especially true where children are concerned.

* The laws of a nation or intellectual property rights protect
the news you want published.

* The relevance of the story is limited to a small circle or
community.

* The story is of a personal nature that isn't important to the
public at large.

* The "facts" of your story can't be proven -- a story you just
have a gist of is not newsworthy.

* Never submit inappropriate material to the media
/reporters--you will develop a negative reputation and your
material will be thrown away as soon as a reporter receives it.
You need to establish yourself as a person that can be trusted
to give accurate, concise, and newsworthy stories.

* Your thoughts aren't sorted out --- the who, what, where,
when, why, and how of the story you wish to report is unknown or
hazy.

* Your media release isn't final--if you send one on Monday and
another with changes/corrections on Tuesday, your credibility
will be shot.

* The long term/short term publicity goals aren't in place.

* Press materials aren't fully developed. The press release,
media kit, and other promotional materials must all be finalized
and ready for distribution well before a reporter is contacted.

* You are uncomfortable talking about or discussing a particular
topic---it's better to say nothing than say something you'll
regret later. Once you've spoken to the media/reporter, it will
be hard to retract what you have said.

* You don't want to be "quoted." Unless you have a really good
tip, or information, reporters don't like to go off the record.

* You're not familiar with the background of a "story" or the
sequence of events--personal opinions are not news.

* The story you want told doesn't have an "angle"; it's not
newsy; has no human interest aspect -most people won't be able
to relate to the story; if it's not relevant to current
happenings; it does little to add depth/impact to a popular
story the media is focussing on.

Rethink--is my story NEW, it is concise and clear, short,
sharp, and simple, is it accurate--will it stand scrutiny? If
you can answer "yes" to most of these questions then go right
ahead and contact a reporter.

Introduction to Sudoku

Author : Steve Hall

Have you ever played with a Rubik's Cube? You may have mastered the Rubik's cube and are looking for a greater challenge. Try the puzzle game called Sudoku. Sudoku is a number placement puzzle that requires logic skills and patience. It is a fantastic puzzle game that can be found in newspapers, books, and at even here at this website.How do you play Sudoku?The Sudoku puzzle consists of a series of grids. The grids include one large 9 x 9 grid that houses, nine 3 x 3 smaller grids. The purpose of the game is to place a number from 1-9 in each of the grid cells. You don't have to worry about finding the sum of the numbers of the rows, columns, like in Magic Squares.No addition is involved; however there are three conditions that rely on each other and must be followed. Each number 1-9 can appear only once in each column, once in each row, and once in each small 3 x 3 grid. Mathematically, Sudoku puzzles are a derivation of Latin Squares.The famous mathematician Leonard Euler created Latin Squares. They are a prevalent part of discrete math. Basically, a Latin Square consists of an n x n table filled with numbers, letters, or symbols. Each symbol can only appear exactly once in each row and exactly once in each column. Sudoku puzzles take the Latin Square one step further with the 3 x 3 smaller grid constraints. The fact that you have to make sure that each small 3 x 3 grid contains each number 1-9 only once significantly increases the complexity of the puzzle.Sudoku puzzles come in varying levels of difficulty. The amount of numbers given initially in the 9 x 9 matrix varies. One would think that the more numbers you are given initially, the easier the puzzle would be to solve. This is not always the case because the "placement" of the numbers has a profound effect on the complexity of the puzzle.Where did Sudoku puzzles originate?Sudoku is the Japanese word for "placement puzzle". Sudoku swept Japan in the mid-1980's. Before that, however, a puzzle constructor in the United States named Howard Garnes created the first puzzle of this type in 1979. It was called "Number Place" instead of Sudoku. It was published in the Dell Magazine Math Puzzles and Logic Problems.How do you solve a Sudoku puzzle?Good question! The key is to have patience and use your logic skills. Don't just use a trial and error method. Many players construct their own puzzle solving techniques and methods, which they share in Sudoku player online forums.You can start anywhere in the puzzle, but as a beginner start by focusing on the top three smaller 3 x 3 grids. Look at the initial numbers and start with the number "1". Check to see if a "1" appears in the other two smaller 3 x 3 grids. Then find cells in these smaller grids where you can possibly place a "1" while still adhering to the rules. You will also need to take into consideration 3 x 3 grids that are attached to the given grid. It is like dancing on eggshells, but the key is to look for patterns. Logically, you need to prove why a number should go in a certain cell.Sudoku is a clever puzzle game that will sometimes make you feel like you are going around in circles. However, practicing on different puzzles will help you to understand certain techniques that work and those that lead you to a dead end. The beauty of the game is that there are a great number of Sudoku puzzles to solve. Time yourself. Many puzzle solvers can finish a puzzle in 10 to 30 minutes. Get out your stopwatch and see how fast you can solve a Sudoku puzzle. Steve is a member of the GrandMatrix team who provide a broad range of games, puzzles and articles.

America's Fastest Growing Crime?

Author : Rick Parrott
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America! Over 12.7 percent of Americans reported they were victims of Identity Theft in the last five years! The misuse of existing credit card accounts has increased to over 71 percent in the last two years. Over all, Identity Theft has increased over 41 percent in the same period.Identity Theft is a massive crime and it is virtually without risk. Unbelievably, only 25 percent of Identity Theft victims report this crime to the police.In 2002, estimated financial losses to American businesses were over $33 billion dollars. The average victim lost over $10,200.00, and that does not begin to include the cost needed to recover from the abuse. On average a victim needed over 30 hours to recover from the theft. Significantly, the sooner the theft was discovered, the less the monetary damage and the quicker the recovery.Overall, the amount of time needed for resolution increased as the length of time required for discovery increased. Seventy-six percent of the victims who discovered the theft within one month took less than 10 hours to resolve the issue. When the theft was discovered between one and five months only 59 percent were able to resolve the problem within ten hours. For those that discovered the theft more than six months after the event, less than 20 percent were able to reach a resolution in less than 10 hours.Clearly, time is a critical component in protecting yourself and recovering from Identity Theft. Quick discovery can help reduce the amount of monetary damage AND the number of problems you may encounter when attempting to clean up the resulting mess!Identity theft is more like a family of crimes. It takes several different forms.New Account Fraud -The most common form of Identity Theft is when the criminal obtains your personal information and uses it to obtain credit in your name.Existing Account Fraud -The second category concerns misuse of existing accounts. Again, the same documentation needed to open new accounts can be used to access the victim’s current accountsChild Identity Fraud -In this instance, a thief steals the identity of a child. Here is the catch with this one. You or your child may not know about the theft until they grow up and get out on their own! The thief can have almost twenty years to destroy the child’s name. Luckily, this is easy to clean up. Not even your credit company is going to believe a three year old applied for a loan to buy a car!Deceased Persons Fraud -This one can be almost as insidious as Child Identity Theft. Why, because who is going to complain! Here the thief steals the identity of a recently deceased person. With no one to complain, how long it can go on.Work Place Identity Theft -Here things get a little tricky. This type of identity theft can happen whether or not you know the assailant. In its simplest form, someone at your work steals your personal information and then your identity. That is bad enough, but what about someone stealing the information you entrust with a company?Immigration Fraud -Identity Theft is a problem on the immigration front also. Illegal aliens often attempt to use stolen or falsified documentation to enter the country. Your documentation can be used to establish the illegal immigrant’s right to work, in the United States.Criminal Record Fraud -The last type of Identity Theft is perhaps the most damaging! In this instance, the thief uses your information to leave you with a criminal record!Imagine being pulled over for a speeding ticket only to find out you had several warrants out for your arrest!How do you prevent Identity Theft? You prevent it by being proactive! Check your credit reports at least yearly! Check Equifax, Experian and Trans Union.Equifax: (800) 525-6285
Experian: (800) 301-7195
Trans Union: (800) 680-7289Be careful of how you dispose of your old mail. Utility bills Phone bills, school papers and many other items can give an identity thief all the ammunition needed to steal your life.Pay attention to mail that you receive or do not receive, if you suddenly stop getting your credit card bill call the company and find out why. Your mailing address may have been changed without you knowing about it.Identity theft can ruin your life if left undiscovered. Counter this by actively monitoring your credit and other accounts. Like other criminals, these thieves look for victims. People who proactively look after themselves and their families are seldom mistaken for victims.Before you do anything else, call all three of the numbers listed above and order a copy of your credit report. Do it, right now!Parrott Writing Services, a San Antonio Texas company specializing in web content, ghostwriting, website optimization, online/offline ad copy and technical writing to small businesses.http://www.rickparrott.com

Grammar Teaching: Implicit or Explicit?

Author : Larry M. Lynch
Based on my 15 years of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching experience, the statement "grammar teaching should be implicit, not explicit" could be argued both for and against. Whether to teach grammar as an extracted focus of ELT (English Language Teaching) or more passively as an inductive, integral topic has been the theme of countless debates on the part of institutions, professors, grammarians and language researchers for decades. Grammar is the branch of linguistics dealing with the form and structure of words or morphology, and their interrelation in sentences, called syntax. The study of grammar reveals how language works, an important aspect in both English acquisition and learning.In the early 20th century grammarians like the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas and the Danish linguist Otto Jespersen began to describe languages and Boas' work formed the basis of various types of American descriptive grammar study. Jespersen's work was the fore-runner of such current approaches to linguistic theory such as Noam Chomsky's Transformational Generative Grammar.Chomsky, who studied structural linguistics, sought to analyze the syntax of English in a structural grammar. This led him to view grammar as a theory of language structure rather than a description of actual sentences. His idea of grammar is that it is a device for producing the structure, not of a particular language, but of the ability to produce and understand sentences in any and all languages. Since grammar is the means by which we can understand how a language "works", a definitive study of language grammar is essential to language study.Strictly explicit grammar study however, and even grammar-focused lessons are often not communicatively based. They can therefore be boring, cumbersome and difficult for students to assimilate. The strict teaching of grammar / structure, except with students of the Logical – Mathematical or Verbal – Linguistic multiple intelligences, can be frustrating and highly ineffective.Grammar teaching should be implicitIn the early 20th century, Jespersen, like Boas, thought grammar should be studied by examining living speech rather than by analyzing written documents. By providing grammar in context, in an implicit manner, we can expose students to substantial doses of grammar study without alienating them to the learning of English or other foreign language. I also agree with this implicit approach of teaching grammar. The principal manner in which I accomplish this is by teaching short grammar-based sessions immediately followed by additional function-based lessons in which the new grammar / structure is applied in context.The hypothesis is that adult language students have two distinct ways of developing skills and knowledge in a second language, acquisition and learning. Acquiring a language is "picking it up", i.e., developing ability in a language by using it in natural, communicative situations. Learning language differs in that it is "knowing the rules" and having a conscious knowledge of grammar / structure. Adults acquire language, although usually not as easily or as well as children. Acquisition, however, is the most important means for gaining linguistic skills. A person's first language (L1) is primarily learned in this way. This manner of developing language skills typically employs implicit grammar teaching and learning.Grammar teaching should be explicitThis does not exclude explicit grammar-teaching entirely, however. Some basic features of English language grammar structure are illogical or dissimilar to speakers of other languages and do not readily lend themselves to being well understood, even in context. In cases where features of English grammar are diametrically opposed or in some other way radically different from the manner of expression in the student's L1, explicit teaching may be required.Aspects of English language grammar that may offer exceptional challenge to EFL students include use of word order, determiners (this, that, these, those, a, an, the), prepositions (in, on, at, by, for, from, of), auxiliaries (do, be, have), conjunctions (but, so, however, therefore, though, although), interrogatives, intensifiers (some, any, few, more, too) and distinctions between modal verbs (can, could, would, should, may, might, must). Phrasal verbs also present considerable difficulty to Spanish speakers learning communicative English.Some students also are logical or linguistically-biased thinkers who respond well to structured presentation of new material. Logical-Mathematical and Verbal-Linguistic intelligence learners are prime examples of those that would respond well to explicit grammar teaching in many cases.Based on my English language teaching and on my second and third foreign language learning (L2, L3) experience, an exclusive approach using either implicit or explicit methodologies is not as effective as utilizing one or the other of these approaches as required. Although it is essential to teach elements of language and develop communicative abilities in our students, there is no one best way to introduce and provide practice in them. Young learners have more natural facility in acquisition, while adults may benefit substantially from more "formal" language learning. Learning styles and intelligence strengths are also a significant factor.There are many generally accepted ways of introducing the sounds, structure and vocabulary of English, including colloquial forms of conversation and the four basic communication skills. Grammar provides for "communicative economy".

Answer Aggregators - the Rules of the Game

Author : Sasson Margaliot

Answer Aggregator is a new
type of Answer Engine. Answer Aggregator provides a systematic
way to collect links to existing on-line resources that can be
used for answering questions and maintains "mapping" of
Questions into Answers.

In order to make the content of a website accessible to Answer
Aggregator, all the webmaster has to do is to list the pages
together with the corresponding Questions in a file called
SYNDICATE.TXT (located in the root directory) and submit the URL
of this SYNDICATE.TXT file to an Answer Aggregator. If found
acceptable, the links listed will be included into the database
which the Answer Aggregator uses to match answers to the
questions people ask.

Another file read by Answer Aggregate's robot is NOMINATE.TXT,
where a webmaster can include the resources he recommends that
are found on other syndicated websites. The NOMINATE.TXT is
rated for appropriateness, quality, and relevance of its
recommendations and the Authority Rank is assigned to it.

Listing a page in SYNDICATE.TXT or NOMINATE.TXT is just a
proposal. An Answer Aggregate may decide to reject any content
for any reason. In particular, the syndicated pages must be
appropriate for all age groups, including children who use the
Question Answer Engines for their school papers and research.

Answer Aggregates may use natuaral language technology in order
to expand the number of supported Questions. Advanced Lingusitic
Technology is the key component of Answer Aggregates, which
enables the expansion of the number of supported Questions. Most
importantly, this task of discerning which Question Templates
are equivalent to each other is doable using current Linguistic
Technology, and there is no need to wait for further progress in
the field.

Houses For Sale By Owner - Negotiating Tips

Author : Steven Gillman
Houses for sale by owner, also known as "FSBOs," are a unique case in real estate investment. Buying from an uninformed seller who thought he knew enough to handle everything by himself can be frustrating. It can also be very profitable if you are prepared.Why do people try to sell a house on their own? Only one primary reason comes to mind: To save the sales commission. Of course they usually underestimate the cost and complexity of going it alone. They end up frustrated and tired of the process, ready to drop the price and be done with it. Help them solve their problems, and your reward can be a good price on a good investment. Keep the following in mind:1. An owner isn't an agent. Don't ask possibly offensive questions. Don't make negative comments about the house. Whether you like it or not, the truth is that it's difficult to get a good deal if the seller doesn't like you.2. Houses for sale by owner have often been on the market a long time. The seller is usually tired of the process, and wants it to be done. In other words, you'll get a better price if you are willing to close quickly and easily.3. FSBO sellers usually think they're being smart. Encourage that belief and they'll be more open to your offer. When they have a good idea, tell them so. It is not unethical to make people feel good about themselves when negotiating.4. They usually don't have a plan for where to close, where to buy a title policy, where to keep a good faith deposit, etc. Be ready with simple solutions to all these problems. Walk them through the process while letting them feel in control, and you'll both be happier.5. They have often spent more than they anticipated. Advertising and other costs have already eaten into their imagined extra FSBO profit. Be generous in negotiating any pre-close expenses - as long as you get your price and/or terms.6. Pass over problems and return to them later. Once a seller has invested more time in a negotiation, he'll be more inclined to give you what you want.Professionals will tell you that most houses "for sale by owner" net less than those sold by an agent. It's too late for the seller to recover his money and time spent, however, so he usually just wants to get the thing sold as easily and quickly as possible. Help him with that, and you can get a good real estate investment at a good price.Steve Gillman has invested real estate for years.

Networking in the Nude (And Other Nontraditional Ways to Build Mutually Beneficial Relationships)

Author : Bonnie Lowe
Did you know that one of the most common dreams is about being naked at school or in public? For most of us, that's a pretty scary thought! Well, don't worry. "Networking in the Nude" has nothing to do with being naked in public. The point of the title of this article is that you can do effective networking from the comfort of your own home – in your pajamas, your underwear, or even your birthday suit!

Networking can be broadly described as exchanging information with others.

Effective networking involves exchanging useful information that leads to mutually beneficial relationships.

Traditional networking means doing that systematically and with intent: you determine your goal and objectives, plan your activities, take specific actions, and (if you do everything right), you reap the rewards.

Traditional networking also involves meeting people in person.

People who love traditional networking may try to convince you that nothing is more effective than face-to-face communication. In many regards, that's true. It's natural for us to put more trust in people when we can look them in the eyes and see their smile.

That's why traditional networking focuses on face-to-face contact. In a perfect world, that is the most effective way for everyone to build relationships.

But it's not a perfect world. And not everyone is comfortable with in-person networking.

Luckily, there are nontraditional networking activities that can be nearly as effective.

These nontraditional networking activities might appeal to you if:

You don't enjoy talking to strangers or "schmoozing."
Your schedule doesn't allow you to attend networking meetings and events.
You don't want to bother with everything associated with traditional networking, such as: figuring out which events to attend; deciding what to wear; coming up with a clever "elevator speech"; hearing sales pitch after sales pitch from dozens of unskilled networkers interested only in promoting themselves and their business; handing out and collecting business cards; slapping a sticky nametag on your nice clothes; trying to figure out later which (if any) of the people you met are worth following up with.

Addressing all forms of nontraditional networking is beyond the scope of this article. So we'll concentrate on one of the most powerful: virtual networking.

This is the kind of networking you can do in the nude (unless you use a web cam, then it might not be such a good idea). It's done through your computer and the Internet.

Besides not having to deal with people face-to-face, virtual networking allows you to create contact lists and join online communities comprised of people from all over the world. Most of these people you would never meet in any other way.

Your virtual network can grow larger and faster than any form of traditional network.

Other benefits of virtual networking:

You can get to know people without having to meet or exchange contact information. Remaining anonymous, you can visit their websites or blogs, subscribe to their electronic newsletters, read their comments in online forums, etc. If these activities convince you that they are people you'd like to get to know better and perhaps do business with, you can then initiate contact and start to build relationships with them.
Many websites, such as www.Ecademy.com, www.LinkedIn.com, www.Ryze.com and others, are set up specifically to promote virtual networking. They offer simple ways to build contact lists and find people with whom to network, they provide information on effective networking strategies, and so forth.
Managing your list of virtual contacts is easier than organizing a stash of business cards. Many email programs include electronic address books or other contact management features that allow you to store (and quickly retrieve) information about the people in your network.

In other words, virtual networking eliminates the discomfort of meeting strangers and worrying about first impressions; it enables you to network whenever you want, regardless of your location; it makes information exchanges faster and easier; and it allows you to more easily manage of large numbers of contacts.

Virtual networking can be done in many ways:

Participate in virtual networking events such as webinars, teleseminars, and live online chat sessions. As technology improves, the need for in-person training events is disappearing. A great way to get to know the movers and shakers in your industry is to attend their virtual workshops and seminars. Ask questions, make comments, and get noticed (in a good way). After the event, send them a thank-you email with your feedback.
Become a member of online discussion forums that focus on your area of expertise. Most of them allow you to use an alias if you want to remain anonymous. Most of them also allow you to include information in your "signature block" (such as a link to your website) that will enable readers to find out more about you. When joining a forum, be sure to read previous posts before making your own comments or asking questions. Once you're familiar with the forum environment and its members, start participating by offering advice in response to questions. The more valuable your contributions to the discussions, the better. Do NOT sell yourself or your services. Allow people to get to know you, like you, trust you. Then when they have a need for what you offer, they'll seek you out!
Create your own website that offers valuable free content and showcases your expertise, services or products. Encourage interaction with your site visitors by inviting comments in response to a helpful blog or electronic newsletter. Let your personality show, so people will want to get to know you better. Remember, once they know you, like you and trust you, they'll be more inclined to do business with you.

In Summary

Virtual networking, just like traditional networking, is all about getting people to know you, like you and trust you. It's all about building mutually beneficial relationships. Put other people first, find ways to help, and give whenever you can. Do this, and you'll reap the rewards – even if you're networking in the nude!Bonnie Lowe is author of the popular book, "Networkaholics Revealed! True Confessions From People Who Networked Their Way to Success (And How You Can Do the Same)."

Baseball Personnel Changes

Author : Bryan Leonard
Changes take place on the baseball diamond daily. Players get hurt and go on the DL. Players get hurt and continue to play, which can affect their performance. Managers make changes in the field and in the batting order. Managers make changes in the starting rotations.It's essential for the sports bettor to keep up on these changes. The Angels, for instance, have a good offense on paper, but various injuries have taken a bit out of their offensive punch. Garrett Anderson is battling a bad back, for instance, and the offense is third worst in the AL in batting, on base percentage and home runs. If they get healthy this should be a very productive offense, so it's key to keep up with their health situation.The NY Mets have been the early frontrunner in the NL East. The Mets had a decent weekend taking wo out of three from the rival Yankees. However, the starting rotation has taken major hits of late, with rookie Brian Bannister out and they just lost starter Victor Zambrano for the season. Mets fans must be cringing every time Tampa Bay lefty Scott Kazmir has another great game – and he's had a lot of them this season.You may recall two years ago at the trading deadline the Mets sent their best pitching prospect, Kazmir, to the Devil Rays for Zambrano. The trade was widely criticized at the time and it looks even worse now. Think about a rotation of Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine and Kazmir. Instead, the Mets are desperate to fill out the rotation, especially with the surging Phillies suddenly hot on their heals. Kazmir just allowed four hits and matched a career-high with 11 strikeouts in eight innings, helping the Devil Rays beat the Marlins 3-0 for the young left-hander's fifth straight win. At 22, Kazmir is the youngest major league pitcher to win seven games this early in a season since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981!The Cubs have a terrible offense, still without ace slugger Derek Lee, and notice they are on a 7-1 run under the total. And speaking of weak offense, the NY Yankees are having all kinds of problems. Following the Subway Series loss to the Mets, the Yankees put right-hander Shawn Chacon on the shelf with a bruised left shin. Chacon was slated to start Sunday, but watched Aaron Small face the Mets in the Yanks' 4-3 loss. Small will fill in for Chacon this week. Chacon will join Carl Pavano, Tanyon Sturtze, Octavio Dotel, Gary Sheffield, Hideki Matsui and Bubba Crosby on the DL. The Yankees promoted outfielder Terrance Long from Triple-A Columbus. Joe Torre said Long can expect to play right away. And Yankees catcher Jorge Posada missed his second straight game with back spasms.The Yankees are on an 8-3 run under the total, which isn't a surprise with so much offense hurt. The joke in the NY Post this week was, "How do you get the Yankees out? Put runners in scoring position." Seventeen times the Yankees batted with at least a runner on second against the Mets and just twice they delivered hits. Combined with a 2-for-10 effort in the clutch Saturday, the Yankees are 4-for-27 (.148) heading into the week.A lesser change has taken place out West as San Diego is suddenly finding some offense after a very poor start offensively to the season. The Padres are on a 10-4 run over the total. Changes occur constantly in baseball, and it's important to keep tabs and see if that is correlating to any spread marks, such as wins, losses, overs and unders.Bryan Leonard is a documented member of the Professional Handicappers
