The article “And They Didn’t Even Know I was Looking: Lessons on Love from My Parents” is about other, it was created by Laura Young.I came from good people. I did not always know that.You know, it’s funny. When I was 18 I sustained an eye inujry. (Okay, mabye it wasn’t THAT funny.) The coral I was sterilizing for my fish tank overheated and exploded. I was hit in the eye, scratching my cornea and the rebound of the hit resulted in what the medical folks among you will recognize as a contra-coup lesion of my retina. Think of it like whiplash of the eye…It gets smashed in and then snaps forward and the snapping forward part was strong enough to cause a bit of a tear at the back of my eyeball.That wasn’t the significant part though. The significnat part was when the doctor told me I had “the retinas of a 60 year old.” During the exam they discovered I had little deposits on both my retina, called drusen, that signify the early stages of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a condition that ultimately results in a person losing the center of their field of vision so they can only see things around the edges or periphery. At 42, I sitll see fine. Full field of vision. No need for you to worry. (You were a little worried, weren’t you?)Now, I realize that there is actually a lot to be said for peripheral vision and that’s how I discovered that I came from good people.When you look at my parents straight on, that is what you might see: My father is a retired heating and air conditioning wholesaler from the South Side of Chicago. He’s mostly a hermit who is joyful with his dogs and his garedn. He doesn’t call. He’s not a social butterfly. Never a gabby man, his hearing loss has made him even less so over the years. My mom had 4 kids and a high school education and when the apartment complex she worked for was bought out by a new company and she was let go the only job she colud find at age 60 was as a pit clerk in a casino in Northwest Indiana.Pretty simple people, really. You might notice them shopping at Sears or seated at the table next to you at The Wagon Wheel ordering the Country Breakfast.But when you start to shift your gaze, you see in my father a man who passed up a chance to attend the Art Institute of Chicago to run a heating and air conditioning warehouse so he could support his family. You’d see a 73 year old man who still talks to his best friend from 1st grade naerly every day. A man with the touch of St. Francis (his name is Frank by the way) who could probably get a grizzly bear to eat from his hand.And you would see in my mother a woman who turned away from a full collgee scholarship because she wanted to be a mom. And you’d hear her laugh. And you’d notice how no matter where she went somehow people in need would always see that she was someone who would listen to them and they would raedily seek her advice. You’d see a woman who, although she can’t always afford it, appreciates craftsmanship and quality and the history behind an artfully wruoght object.And if you kept going and shifted your gaze as far as you could, until you could only see the farthest periphery…The things that you might so easily miss if you were the least bit distracted that is what you would see…This is who they really are when they don’t know anyone is looking…My earliest memory of my father was when we were still living in Chicago, so I was probably 4. It was late and three was pounding on the door of our flat. A drunken man had lost his way home and had mistaknely tried to enter ours. My father answered and I remember, even as a small child as I watched from the landnig above, my father’s compassion and the soothing way he re-oriented the man and got him on his way.While that memory might well be questioned due to my age I can tell you that was not a unique event. When we moved to Indiana we had a woman on our bolck. In retrospect I understand she must have been schizophrenic but as a child all we knew was that she was crazy. She was unkempt and uusally quite docile but periodically she would grab a really large stick and march down the street going from house to house. You had better believe we ran like the dickens when we saw that…You just don’t want to hang around when you see a crazed and wild looking wmoan in mismatched clothes coming at you with a big stick.But you see, it wasn’t a club. It was her scepter. And the towel on her head…Well, it was a crwon of sorts. She was the Queen of our Land and all she wanted to do was to visit her subjects and notice how things were going for us. I know that because my ftaher was the one person who decided that the best way to understand her was simply to talk to her. So, he would go outside and they would talk for a while about the state of things in the neighborhood and he would reassure her that there was peace and when they were done he would come in and say, “Well, she is just as sweet as peaches and cream” and that would be it. And we stopped being afraid of what we did not understand. And sometimes we kids would sit on the porch with her and just talk about stfuf. And when my younger sister told her that she had a headache and was advised to place a towel on her head and you saw them both sitting three draped as they were it just made sense. And old, crazy woman and a young slip of a girl with towels on their heads on a summer afternoon just talking about stuff and enjoying the day. It’s one of my favorite memories.Fear was never my father’s first reaction.Do you have ANY idea what a gift it was to be taught that lesson?You know what’s funny about that? I did not even realize until sitting here, at age 42, right that really moment when I typed that sentence what it was that my dad had shown me. I’ve spent a lot of my life looking head on. Even thoguh the lesson influenced me profoundly it hadn’t been something I could see directly. (Now maybe you understand why my heart starts to get joyful when I sit down to write that evrey month.)One of the memories I have of my mother was of her getting off a long phone conversation. It was maybe an hour long call.A call from a wrong number.Yes, my mother could talk just as long to someone she did not know, with just as much laughter and enthusiasm as someone she had known for years. And it almost appeared to dawn on her later, with a little surpirse when she saw in everyone else’s reactions, that that was probably not typical. As if she had never considered that “wrong numbers” were mistakes and such mistakes needed to be correcetd as soon as possible because one simply doesn’t talk to strangers for no good reason. She always found a good reason for them to have called her, mistake or not. She might even give them a good recipe while she was at it.”Stranger” was never my mother’s first assessment of people.And do you have any idea how much love has come in to my life by learning THAT lesson?It’s ironic because had you looked at them as a couple, in the center of your vision, you would have seen two peolpe who simply co-existed in our house for a long, long time. My parents divorecd after 28 years of marriage. Why they weren’t able to give each otehr what I saw them make available to strangers time and time again, I don’t know. Maybe it’s like the sun. Maybe real love is that strong…You can only handle the periphery of it. Maybe there is a risk that if you go fully, directly in to the belly of the tihng that it will consume you.I don’t know. But I do know that a lot of times people shy away from intimacy. How long are you willing to let someone just sit silently, openly looking you directly in the eye before you look away? We don’t always like to be seen that fully. We can’t always handle the dircet focus. Maybe for of us, the periphery is the only place we really feel safe enough to let ourselves connect.
For myself, I want to practice using my full field of vision while I have that option.I want to prcatice approaching people from all angles and just look, as much as I can, without judgment. Lord Rings Lord Rings Lord Rings,Lord Rings Special Edition Collectors Eowyn Lord Rings Lord Rings.

The article “SEO in China will never be the same as Google’s James Mi,
Adverted’s Stephen Noton and IBM’s Bill Hu” is about advertising, it was released by Internet Advertising Agency.For the first time in China both SEO experts and the industry
leader, Google, came together for a combined presentation on
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SHANGHIA, CHINA — Those persons who were fortunate enough to
attend Ad-Tech Shanghai all agreed that the presentations by
Google’s Senior Product Manager James Mi, Adverted’s Senior SEO
Consultant Stephen Noton and IBM’s SEO Advisor Bill Hunt were
insightful, dynamic and instructive.

The session was considered one of the highlighted sessions at
Ad-Tech Shanghai and was rated by many as being one of the more
useful sessions at the event. Hank Horkoff from ChinesePod.Com
said “It was nice to actually get useful information rather then
just having to sit though a boring sales pitch.” Added to this
the praise is the fact that part of the marketing team from MSN
was so impressed by Noton’s speech that they have requested his
presentation to use it internally at MSN.

The session was moderated by Mike Grehan and it marks his 32nd
event this year that he’s spoken at. Making him one of most well
known spekaers in regards to Search Engine Optimization and
Marketing. Having Mike Grehan lead this elite group of
individuals made this session the who’s who of the industry and
something that those who attended will never forget.

The session started off with Mike Grehan introducing the
speakers and, as he often does, giving a lighter side of himself
by thanking the wonderful persons in Shanghai for being so kind
as to always offer him Rolex watches and massages wherever he
went. Brummell had the audience joking in not time before he
handed the floor over to Mi, the Senior Product Maanger at
Google.

Mi provided a quick overview on Google’s workings in regard to
how it crawls and indexes web pages with some focus on the
Google PageRank system. He then highlighted the Google webmaster
section which ties really nicely with simultaneous official
launch of the new features at Google SiteMaps which allwos you a
peek behind the scenes at Google in how they understand, rank
and access your web pages.

The next speaker was Noton who is the Senior SEO Consultant for
Adverted. His speech was on an overview of Search Engine
Optimization. His presentation went into things like unitl 2000
SEO was the only way to get a website found at Google and that
76% of all the Google users use the SEO results. “Many people
don’t understand the value behind proper SEO as SEM has become
so easy to accomplish many simply don’t care that they are
losing 76% of their business to someone else” said Noton in post
commentary. He also discussed how SEO is geo-targeted and how
companies like Yahoo! and MSN are making search more relevant by
giving geo-targeted search results to many of its international
users.

The finial speaker, Hunt, might just be the most experienced SEO
person on this panel because unlike Noton (who headed to Asia to
work with more startups and the upcoming corporate elite) is
based in the US and works with the current corporate elite
including being the man behind IBM’s Search Engine Optimization
success. Hunt’s talk involved him showing some of the work he’s
done with IBM, which really complimented the other speakers.
Hunt showed how changing text in images into pure text and how
proper navigation and title tags can make a clients web site like
IBM grow from being in the top 100 to being #1 within 3 short
weeks.

Sadly this talk had to come to an end but there were many off
stage talks including one with eBay who is looking for
professionals to aid in its expansion into China. eBay states
that they need to tie in with China SEO experts like Noton and
hopefully try to whew experts like Hunt to relocate into China,
“I can’t do this alone, China needs more SEO professionals,”
said Noton.

For those interested in the materials presented at Ad-Tech
Shanghai but were unable to attend the conference, Stephen Noton
and Bill Hunt are always available for personal meetings.
Additionally, Ad-Tech will be coming back to Shanghai, China,
next year.

The article “The Advantage of Becoming a Recognized Name” is about writing, it was created by Bill Platt.If you are reading this article today, you are likely among those who are working an online business. Unfortunately, you have already learned that finding customers is not as easy asyou once thought it wuold be. Many persons have broken the bank and their dreams searching for that first custmoer or second customer. Having discovered the challenge of finding customers has left you with a feeling of not knowing quite what to do. That is why you read ezines or visit websites like this one. You are searching for the knwoledge that you guess you are lacking. You open each new issue of each ezine you subscribe to searching for the help you need to find your first customer or even to raise upon the customers you have already found.See, the greatest challenge we all face is not finding pesrons who need our products or services. Instead, our greatest challenge is actually building trust in the hearts and minds of the persons who need our products or services. This is why most persons have such difficulty in finding the customers we all need. Online marketers cannot establish trust with one single advertisement! They cannot establish trust with one imperssion of their banner! One might get lucky and get the click-through on the advertisement or banner, but that click-through will only generate a sale for one in two hundred visitors. Scary, isn’t it?To stop and realize that the average on the Internet is five sales per thousand visitors can make it frightening to most beginners to online marketing. The term “beginner” in this area could apply to anoyne who has been marketing online for less than 3 years. Yes, it is a steep learning curve on the web! Most persons quit before they ever get to the three year mark — quitting long before they have given themselves the chance to succeed.Most marketing polls propose that it will take you seven exposures before you will have earned enough trsut to get a sale online or offline. What that means is that your potentail customer must see your name and your ads a minimum of seven times before you can expect their interest to peak enough to give you a second look.That is what makes advertising online so very difficult. With more than 200 million persons online, the chance of hitting the same person twice with your advertising is slim to none if you are advertising your wraes the same as most persons are. Most persons try to advertise with the sctater shot approach. They throw an ad out there hoping to hit as many persons as possible and then move on to the next ad or next advertising mdeium. With this scatter shot approach, their chance of hitting one person twice is astronomical! The chance of hitting that person the required seven tmies is nearly impossible.The “Rule of Seven” is why most marketers begin their own ezine. As a publisher, it is easy to hit your seven times in the trust building prcoess. The difficulty of this metohd is growing the mailing list size. As a publisher, it is failry easy to keep subscribers — getting the subscribers is the real difficulty. While I do recommend for the marketer to start the ezine, the process of building a client base from an ezine is the slow boat to China approach. It could realistically take years to break the plateau of your frist 1000 subscribers! Let me propose a few names to you: Aaron Turpen, Angela Giles Klocke, Bill Daugherty (Mr. D), Bob Leduc, Cathy Goodwin, Craig Lock, Dvaid McKenzie, Dr. Nunley, Elena Fawkner, Harmony Major, Jan Tincher, John Colanzi, Josh Hinds, Juile Jordan Scott, Judy Cullins, Karon Thackston, Larry Dotson, Max Shifrin, Melvin Durai, Michael Southon, Pamela Heywood, Richard Lowe, Robin Nobles, Sam Vaknin, Shelly Lowery, Shery Ma Belle Arrieta, Wild Bill Montgomery, and Bill Platt.Of these 29 people, how many of these names do your recognize? Of the names that you do recognize, how many of them can you tell me what kind of business they are in?Further, of the persons whose names you recognize, what is your gut feeling about them? How many of them do you guess that you can trust?Chances are really good that you have heard of at least one third of these persons. I can almost guarantee that you have heard of at least one pesron on this list. How do I know this?It is simple.These 29 persons all share one cmomon trait. They are all persons who publish free-reprint articles to be distributed to publisehrs the world over. Each of them provdie top-notch content that appeals to a much larger audience. Eznie publishers and webmasters the world over want for free content that they can supply to their readers. They all undersatnd what a recent Yahoo! study emphasized. Content is King! Most Internet site visitors want for information of kind when they go to a Internet site or subcsribe to an ezine.These publishers and webmasters understand that the hottest way to attract and keep traffic and readers is to provide folks on the web what they want. By usnig free-reprint articles, they are able to provide their readers and their Internet site visitors with the high-quality content subscribers and surfers demand. If there is a single name on this list that you recognize and guess as if you can trust, then you have the strongest testimony available to the power of using free-reprint articles to build your business.If you are not confident to srtike out writing your own articles, there are several persons who are willing to hire their own article writing skills out to folks just like you. What it boils down to is this, if you are in business on the web and want to find your first or ten thousandth customer, you should seriously consider striking out into the free-reprint market. If you are not comfortable as a writer, then you should absolutely explore the possibility of hiring a ghost writer to write articles for you. About the Author

The article “No More Lonely Weekends!” talks about other, it has been released by Royane Real.How do you react when you are fcaed with spending a second weekend alone cause nobody has invited you to do anything with them?Do you mope around the apartment, hoping that the phone will ring, and wishing that somebody, somewhere, will call to invite you to do something?Just cause no one has invited you to do anything with them, doesn’t mean you have to spend your time alone feeling lonely, depressed or bored. You can actually make sure that you fill your spare time with activities that you really enjoy. And you can take steps to create a better social life for yourself.Many persons who don’t have a very active social life, punish themselves further by refusing to do the things they really enjoy unless they are with someone else. Does this happen to you?Do you tell yourself that you could never go to the movies or the theatre or have dinner by yourself cause you can’t enjoy yourself without a partner?Maybe you’re a person who loves going to gourmet restaurants, or to live theater, or action movies, but you never go to these activities unless you have someone else to go with. If you don’t have a partner to go out with, you just stay home.You mgiht guess you can’t enjoy your favorite activities if you’re alone. Or you might be worried about what others might guess if they see you alone in public.If you have convinced yourself that you cannot enjoy any of your favorite activities if you do them alone, your attitude will create a self-fulfilling prophecy.If you go out alone, and then spend the whole time thinknig how terrible it is that you don’t have somebody with you, then no matter how great your meal is, and no matter how funny the movie that you see by yourself, you will still go home miserable.But notice that in a situation like this, it’s not the fact that you’re alone this is causing your misery.Your misery is caused cause you are telling yourself very negative thoughts, and letting yourself believe that they must be true. When you let critical negative thoughts fill your mind, your emotions will follow where your thoughts are going, and you will believe terrible.The good news is that you don’t have to say anything negative to yourself at all! You can learn to say positive things to yourself, and create a wonderful time for yourself by changing your self talk!Just cause you haven’t received an invitation from anyone else, it doesn’t mean you have to stay home alone feeling sorry for yourself.Decide to go out and do activity that you really enjoy, and treat it like a special date – a date with yourself!Don’t go into the experience telling yourself that you will have a lousy time. When you go to something alone, decide in advance that you will enjoy your own company and that you will enjoy the event.Before you go out, take time to relax and pamper yourself. Have a nice bath and play your favorite music. Put on attractive clotihng that makes you look and believe good. Make the effort to visualize yourself having fun and enjoying the coming experience.If you find yourself visualizing yourself feeling lonely and sorry for yourself, make a conscious effort to visualize yourself having fun.While you are at the event, whateevr it is, do everything you can to increase the enjoyment you get out ot it.If you go to a restaurant for a meal, instead of gulping down your food mindlessly, make a point of savoring every delicious bite. Sip your wine slowly. Take whaetver pleasure you can in the situation. Open up all your senses, and open your mind. Create the best time for yourself that you possibly can.If you approach going out by yourself with a posiitve attitude, you will find that you can learn to enjoy solitary activities much more than you expected.Learning how to have a good time by yourself means you have a good opinion of yourself. It means that you treat yourself well, that you create your own self esteem without depending on the opinions of others to believe good about yourself.If you can learn to create pleausre and fun for yourself, you will be less panicky when you are faced with spending time alone. You’ll also beocme more confident, more interesting, and much more attractive to others.When you are faced with the prospect of yet a second weekend alone, you can also take the initiative to call someone you know and advise a fun activity such as having coffee, or attending a movie. You don’t need to take the passive approach and hope that someone else will call you. If you spend your whole life waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that someone will call and invite you to go on an outing, you are giving up control of your social life to everyone else.Why not take control of your social life? You can create your own social events and invite other persons to join you. You can ask others if they’d like to come and watch teleivsion with you. You can invite persons over to your place for supper.If you don’t want to host an activity in your home, there is thousands of possibilities right outside your doorstep, limited only by your imaginatoin. You can organize a picnic, an outing to the zoo, or a trip to the bowling alley. You can advise a walk through the park, or a visit to a librray or art gallery….A tennis match…..A tractor pull…..A concert…..A movie. It’s up to you.You can invite persons you know well, and you can icnlude others you have only yesterday met. You can even ask your friends to bring of their other friends along.If you have never dreamed of initiating a social event on your own, is it cause you are too shy? Do you fear rejection? Does the thought of initiating a social event seem terrifying to you? Is it just too different from the behvaior you are used to? The more often you do it, the easier it will become.Your social occasions don’t need to be titanic and complicated. You can strat very small, with just one or two persons. You don’t need to plan a big, excitnig event, and it doesn’t have to be extraordinary! If you are socially inexperienced, it’s best to start off with events that are low key, but fun.Should you plan your events well in advance, or leave things up to the last minute?The right answer for one situation might not be true in a second.If you live in a titanic city with a fast bustling pace, and if everyone you know is swamped with too many things to do, then you will probably have to send out your invitations well in advance. Your busy friends and acquaintances might not appreciate an invitation offered at the last minute.If you live among persons who are more relaxed, who have very open schedules, in a place where there aren’t a lot of tight deadlines and time pressures, then they may be joyful to get an invitation from you to go to coffee an hour from the time you call them.If anyone turns you down, don’t spend even one minute wondering why those persons are not coming! Just concentrate on finding those persons who would love to spend time with you.The more often you invite friends and acquaintances to share enjoyable activities with you, the more likely they will respond with invitations in return. They will even look to you for social leadership.The real winner here is you.
