Little League Back-up Situations For Outfielders

Saturday, October 20, 2007

As Little League baseball coaches, sometimes we try to teach too much in too short a period. I’ve coached three youth sports and have found that youth baseball is the most over-coached and under-taught sport I’ve seen on the youth level. A good example is teaching back-up situations. It is especially beneficial to teach back-up situations to your outfielders. Remember that if you try to tell a player during a game what to do instead of practicing the situation, the rate of success will diminish. I’ll go over three different back-up situations that I always practice, (Read more)

Using Unmarked Links In Your SEO Copy

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Keywords in the links within your copy are particularly important in SEO. Unfortunately, however, search engines and humans like different things when it comes to links. Search engines like to see your keywords used toward the top of the page. So if you’re using keywords in your links, it makes sense that you put the links at the top of the page. Humans, on the other hand, tend to find this distracting. And because they start clicking on links before they’ve finished reading the whole page, they become easily lost and don’t grasp the intended message (or worse, don’t (Read more)

Why the Penny Should be Retired

Saturday, October 20, 2007

It costs 1.2 cents to make a penny (1 cent)! Now all the currencies in the world have value only because everybody who uses them agrees they have value. The RMB, for example, is rarely accepted in the United States because of rampant counterfeiting and capital controls by the Chinese government. The USD, one of the most counterfeited currency in the world, is accepted by everybody without question because it is THE currency of trade and commerce in the world (simply because the oil states have agreed to trade oil in USD). The SGD was not widely accepted in the early days of its use too. It (Read more)

SEO Copy - Where Should I Use Keywords In My SEO Copywriting?

Saturday, October 20, 2007

When assessing what your website is about, search engines pay close attention to the words you use in your text links and headings (and it’s also argued that they pay more attention to the copy at the top of the page than to the copy at the bottom of the page). So make sure your copy in these areas is keyword rich. Using keywords in links For both internal and external links, try to use your target keyword as the link text (the part that’s normally blue and underlined). For example, on your “Cheap Second Hand Macs” page, you could include a text link to “Cheap (Read more)

Smoothing Out the Braking System

Saturday, October 20, 2007

A brake system is the chief failsafe fitted on cars. It enhances the pedal input applied on the brakes to make motion retardation short and swift. While the principle behind brake operations has undergone little reinvention over the years, the optimization of brake system parts has pushed the envelope of car braking system and kept it an even keel with present-day car technology. Composed of hydraulic and friction brakes assemblies, the brake system relies on the performance of its individual parts to give drivers a tight rein of their car. The hydraulic brake assembly is the lesser light (Read more)

Part 2: Designing Virtual Classes Your Students Will Rave About!

Saturday, October 20, 2007

In Part 1 of this series, I offered various ideas for designing your live classes to offer maximum value to your students. Beyond just learning the concepts, students have a much better chance of actually applying your wisdom in their business. If you provide these three important elements in your classes: * a schedule to do the learning (structure); * a modest work assignment each week, and a place to post completed assignments (accountability); * and a rich network of fellow students to share with and learn from (community). Applying these elements in self-paced classes (i.e., written, (Read more)

Water Borne Endocrine Disruptors

Saturday, October 20, 2007

The endocrine system is responsible for sending chemical signals throughout the body. The organs of the endocrine system secrete hormones and are received by receptor cells. This communication can be responsible for heart rate, sweating, growth, reproduction, and many other important bodily functions. The endocrine communication system can be disrupted or altered by man-made chemicals which mimic our body’s own signals. These man-made chemicals can include plastics, pesticides, birth control pills, detergents, and PCB’s to name a few. So what effect does this have on a (Read more)

Golf travel bag cases frequently provide golfers with problems. Among them are the space required for them, the weight and even the price.
