[UAW] - 75% of articles are making basic mistakes

Hi art,

Just a quick heads up that long-time Wizard Member Mark Thompson is
putting on an article marketing course as part of wordpress goldmine
starting TODAY:

http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/recommends/wordpress_goldmine.php

Having just done a review of 100 random articles on Ezine Articles, Mark
found that 75 of them had basic errors that were preventing them from being
fully effective.

Translated, that means those articles were leaving money (ie lost profits)
on the table.

So, for all Wordpress Goldmine members, Mark has decided to put on a
course on Advanced Article Marketing.

I haven't seen the content yet, but I know Mark, and I know Wordpress
Goldmine. So I have no doubt at all that this will be well worth your time
and money.

If you don't already have Wordpress Goldmine, then now is the time to get
on board. Wordpress Goldmine is an EXCELLENT blueprint on how to set up and
promote a blog so as to be earning money almost instantly.

Go over now, grab the book, and benefit from the course.

But hurry, or you will miss it! It starts TODAY.

Best wishes,

Noel

[UAW] - the simplest way to add video to your marketing

Hi art,

Here is a simple way to add the power of video to your article marketing
strategy:

1. Write an article (or get one written for you)

2. Convert that article into a power point presentation. Make sure that
you use LARGE letters - remember your video will be sized as only 320 x 240
px - that is SMALL - so make sure your writing is visible at that size.
Make sure that you show your URL at the end, and give a compelling reason
for viewers to go and visit your site.

3. Turn that powerpoint presentation into a video presentation (with voice
over). To do this you can use the free trial from Camtasia -
http://www.techsmith.com/download/camtasiatrial.asp

I recommend that you prepare a whole bunch of articles and power point
presentations before you download the free trial, and then you can get a
year's supply of videos done during your 30 days free trial! Record your
video as 640 x 480 size.

Alternatively you can do a 'talking head' video using your webcam - just
turn it on and read out your article! But do it in an animated an lively
manner :-)

4. Upload your video to YouTube and other sites using the free service
http://www.tubemogul.com/

5. Grab the embed code for your video from YouTube (or one of the other
sites) and insert it into the wizard.
http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/members/umanagevideo.php

6. Write a compelling caption that includes your keywords as the anchor
tag for the link to your youtube video. You do this by including the tag
[link:your desired anchor text here] in your caption.

Why do you do this? This promotes your video within YouTube and in Google
search - so if people don't find your article or your site, they might
still find your video. Just another way to get noticed!

7. Put your article through the Wizard as normal - but this time you will
also embed your video into the article so that your video appears on
hundreds of destination blogs.

That's it - now you have added video to your article AND promoted your
video in YouTube.

Simple and Easy.

Of course, as ever, the more thought and effort you put into creating a
quality video, the better your results will be, so put on your thinking
cap!

And, while you are at it - why not also sign up for our viral video
contest? Full details over at:

http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/blog/contest/media-upgrades-go-live.html

To your success, as ever,

Noel

By Howard Hayes

Small and medium sized (SME) enterprises are defined as organization with a turnover that is below certain special limits. The small organisation employs around 50 employees while the medium sized organizations have less than 250 workers.

Oregon Grape

By Noah Isabella

The rock currant is a thornless shrub of upright habit growing to a height of 1.5-2 m. The stems are reddish brown with bark that tends to peel; the buds are 'dark brown, ovate. The reddish flowers appear at the end of May, the red, slightly sour berries in drooping clusters ripen in August and the seeds are dispersed by birds.

The pinnate leaves, measuring about 20 cm, are a glossy dark green, turning shades of copper and bronze in winter. The yellow flowers, borne in clustered racemes, appear in April. The bluish berries containing 3-5 seeds ripen in August and are edible. They are also used in preserves and to colour wines.

This is a valuable, evergreen ornamental shrub, widely cultivated in the parks of western, central and eastern Europe. It is sufficiently resistant to frost even in northern Germany, being damaged by spring frosts only if planted in sunny situations. It grows best in partial shade and does well even in drier situations. It is readily propagated by means of seeds or more usually by root suckers.

In the vicinity of housing developments and cemeteries it can he found growing semi-naturalized in hedgerows and woods. In parks it is planted as an evergreen ground cover and to form low evergreen hedges; it is also planted for game cover. The mountain currant is a thornless shrub of upright habit growing to a height of 1-2.5 in. The stems are yellow-brown with bark that tends to crack. The buds are longish ovate, pointed and coloured light brown. The flowers appear in May.

In parks it is planted either as a solitary specimen or in taller hedges and shrubbery. It tolerates moderate shade and does not require much soil moisture. In locations subject to frost and in severe winters it tends to be partially damaged by frost.

It grows in central and southern Europe, extending northward as far as the Baltic Sea to Leningrad and southern Finland and Sweden. Requiring partial shade, it grows in damp, rocky situations in forests from hilly country to high mountain elevations above 1000 m, but will grow in poorer and drier soils. Because it stands up well to pruning it is used in gardens and parks to form low hedges and shrubbery borders. It is well propagated both by means of seeds and winter and summer cuttings.

How To Make A Cheap Date A Memorable Date

By Jayde Johanssen

As a general rule, dating costs money. There are two costs associated with dating. There is the cost of meeting people (ie. to join the dating site) and there is the cost associated of getting to know people (ie. the dinner or movie ticket). This often puts people off dating. They just cannot afford it. As such, I have written this article to help you meet and date people, without spending any money at all.

The first thing you need to do is meet people. If you don't want to spend any money in this regard, you just need to go old fashioned. Say "Hi" to people you come across in every day life. Say hi to everyone. Get used to meeting new people in everyday life, saying hi and striking a conversation with them.

So when you get out of bed tomorrow, make a point of chatting to people you usually wouldn't have. Become a conversationalist. Just make it up as you go along. Talk to everyone though, don't be picky. If you talk to everyone, you'll have so much practise ice breaking and being a conversationalist that when you see someone you are interested in, it will be very easy to start up a conversation with them that is natural and free flowing. This will hopefully will lead into a follow up conversation at a future place in time.

There are so many situation in every day life that give you these opportunities. Some examples include: Sitting on the bus; having a coffee at a cafe; Shopping; Walking the dog; Posting a letter. Every moment you spend outside your front door is a moment that exposes you to the world of meeting people. So get out there and start saying "Hi".

Once you have met someone and have agreed to see them again, your options on where to take someone are virtually limitless. Most of the dates which cost money are "old hat" anyway, so often a cheaper alternative stands out and is much more successful. A great example of this was in the movie Josh Hartnett stared in, called 40 days and 40 nights. In this movie, he simply took a girl (the girl whose heart he ended up winning (played by Shannyn Sossamon)) on a bus ride. That was his idea of the perfect first date. If you haven't seen the movie, get a copy if for no other reason than to see how successful this date was.

So stop, think and be imaginative. It is sure to impress. Here are some ideas to get you thinking: If you are an expert at something (Ie. dancing, surfing, cooking) give your date a free lesson or experience. If you are not an expert, suggest you learn something together. (cooking is great in this regard) Hit your local council up for their local or community events. Go to the beach and have a sand castle building competition (try to lose this one :))

It is really easy to meet and date people without spending a cent. You have to spend something though, so spend some time and effort instead. Its sure to end in a successful time.

Going on a Honeymoon Cruise

By John Ledger

One of the most special times in your married life is the beginning, the honeymoon. It is the start of a new life and an opportunity to spend time sharing romance and passion, feeling good and not caring about anything else.

Going on a honeymoon cruise is one of the preferred ways to spend your honeymoon, and it allows for many possibilities.

If you are looking for a honeymoon cruise, you should start by taking a look at the wide variety of destinations. Thanks to a growth in the industry of cruising, you can now find cruise ships of all sizes sailing all over the World. Among the preferred destinations we have the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Mediterranean but there are many more for all kind of tastes.

Knowing beforehand your preferred destination will save you a lot of time in the planning process. Look for ships that offer a good itinerary for traveling that fits your available time. Cruise lines have the "honeymoon packages" as an additional that you pay as an extra to the ticket.

Each line delivers the package in its own way, but special details are a must: after-hours room service, invitations to romantic dinners, special romantic gifts, room decoration with romantic "touches", etc.

Another thing you might want to check up before deciding on a honeymoon cruise ship, is the amount of activities to do inside the ship. As you know, these ships are like big moving hotels, and they offer their guests plenty of activities to enjoy while the ship is travelling to another port.

If you have a tight budget, you can find ways to save money inside a cruise or alternatively, find a cheap cruise package that fits your needs. You should find "all inclusive" packages that will ensure you pretty everything is covered so you won't incur in extra charges.

There is more to know about honeymoon cruses, this is just a quick overview. But one thing is certain: they are the perfect way to spend your honeymoon!

Discover Some Cool Diabetic Diet Tips

By James John

For a diabetic a diabetic diet is very important to managing their condition, and in some cases even working towards reversing it. If you're a diabetic then it's wise to cut the amount of fats and carbohydrates you consume.

Both types of diabetes can benefit from the diabetic diet. Type I, called juvenile diabetes, is often diagnosed in children while type II usually starts in adulthood and is more common. Type I diabetics suffer because their bodies don't produce insulin, while Type II diabetics suffer because their cells don't absorb insulin. It is type II diabetes that can be reduced by a diabetic diet, although type I also responds well to the diet.

In general the diabetic diet is geared towards attaining ideal body weight for controlling and managing diabetes. It's easy to calculate ideal body weight for men or women. In women add five pounds to 100 for every inch above five feet, and subtract five pounds from 100 for every inch under five feet. At 5'6" a woman's ideal body weight is 130. Men add 6 pounds to 106 for every inch over 5 feet tall. At 5'6" a man's ideal weight is 142 pounds.

Many people have different opinions on the perfect diabetic diet, however some general elements are in common. For type I diabetics, the ideal diet includes about 16 calories per pound. As an example, someone who weighs 170 pounds would eat 2720 calories daily. Type II diabetics eat about 1500 calories per day to lose weight, then differing amounts of calories to maintain ideal weight.

In a general a diabetic diet carbohydrate intake should be about 50% of the daily caloric intake. Some argue that less carbohydrates are better, but there are advantages to cutting down the fat. Sometimes this can be offset by substituting mono unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats in the place of saturated fats.

Definite E-business Solutions

By Rich Micheals

You may indeed be taken back by this article's title. Looking at the title, you might wonder what the e-business "problem" is, if I am offering a solution to it. Truthfully, I could have titled the article "Discovering how to effectively manage your e-business leads, affiliate programs, clients, payments, and emails. No doubt exits, however, that the latter is entirely too long.

Any internet marketer - which you may or may not be yet - has to have a "solution" for these tasks. You might as well take advantage of a service that bundles together the services you need in order to be successful.

If I included everything in the title that a good e-business needs to have, it would have read something like "More credit and payment options, prospect tracking, advanced email statistics, marketing campaign tracking options, advanced customer management tools, billing and recurring commission calculations, payment tools, affiliate tools, customization tools for your order forms, thank you pages, and an affiliate center. Very, very long!

As titles go, "The Ultimate e-business Solution" is accurate and short. What about you? In what can only be good news for e-business owners, there are plenty of businesses who will take care of these specific tasks for you, along with other ones.

Per day, a bundle service can cost you around $0.70. As your e-business begins to grow, it doesn't make sense to try to do it all yourself. It's far less sensible to hire several individuals to do what a single bundle service can provide for a reasonable price.

Why Is Phytessence Wakame So Good For Your Skin?

By Peter Albertonach

I'll bet you've never heard of Phytessence Wakame. But if you're interested in the best skin care you really ought to know about it. In fact if you're interested in the BEST skin care in the world you need to know about Phytessence Wakame. I'll show you why.

Strange sounding substance isn't it? Phytessence Wakame is actually a seaweed found around the coast of Japan. The Japanese have eaten Phytessence Wakame for hundreds of years, both dried and fresh.

And you may also know that Japanese women have some of the worlds best skin right into old age. Eating Phytessence Wakame has a lot to do with it.

Just why is it that Phytessence Wakame is so good for the skin, and works so well for the Japanese? What qualities does it have that make it one of the most important ingredients ever put into modern and effective skin care products?

Phytessence Wakame is full of all sorts of wonderful substances that are extremely good for your skin health. Most of the B group vitamins are there, which help so sooth skin inflammaiton. It is very rich in calcium having around 15 times more calcium than milk and it is high in many important vitamins and minerals.

And it is high in iron and potassium. All these nutrients help keep the skin hydrated. Keeping the moisture balance of the skin high aids skin health and also helps keep the skin younger looking.

But equally important, if not more so, is the ability of Phytessence Wakame to perform a particular function for us that is of enormous benefit to our overall skin health. It helps inhibit the effects of hyaluronidase.

What in the world is hyaluronidase I hear you say? (I have very good hearing.)

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme. It helps break down an acid in our skin called hyaluronic acid, and hyaluronic acid is very important to optimum skin health. It is the effects of hyaluronic acid that combine with the collagen and elastin in our skin to help maintain the smoothness and elasticity of the skin, so keeping it looking young.

So you want plenty of hyaluronic acid. So if hyaluronidase breaks it down you don't want too much hyaluronidase. And if Phytessence Wakame helps inhibit the effects of hyaluronidase then it is doing a world of good work for your skin. It's helping inhibit one of the main factors contributing to skin decline with age.

You won't find much Phytessence Wakame in modern well known brands of skin care products, most of which don't work very well anyway. You need to look a little harder to find it, it's only in the best skin care products money can buy. And at a price that is pretty competitive to what you're probably paying for your skin care products right now.

You won't find it in the big brand name anti aging products because Phytessence Wakame is expensive, and they spend most of their budget on TV advertising. But one small niche skincare company making the worlds best anti aging products does use Phytessence Wakame because they spend big on product quality, not TV advertising.

Electric Wind Power

By Peter L. Shaw

Wind is the affect of air in motion. Wind is caused when the sun shines and heats up the earth's surface unevenly. Because the earth's environment is made of different materials such as land and water, as well as the things that make up these surfaces like wood, metal, and glass, they absorb the sun's heat many different rates.

Daytime is when the air above the land heats up more quickly, and it heats the air over water more slowly. Warm air that is above the land expands and rises, and cooler air quickly comes in to fill the gaps, and this creates wind. In the evening, the winds reverse, because air cools more quickly over land than over water. This is why you have the differing temperatures of land near bodies of water.

Nowadays, we use the wind to create energy to produce electricity for homes, businesses or communities. Wind is an earth friendly renewable energy source; we know that as long as the sun shines on the earth the winds will continue to blow.

Just like the windmills, turbines also use blades to capture the wind and turn it into energy. If there is no wind, then the turbines will not turn, this means that you must have a back up source of energy. Turbines are more sophisticated than windmills and they can use even the slightest breeze to turn the blades.

Most turbines used today are the horizontal axis type. The horizontal axis turbines have blades that are made like airplane propellers. A horizontal wind machine will typically stand about as tall as a 20-story building and has three blades that can span as much as 200 feet across. The largest turbines in the world actually have blades that are longer than a football field. Wind Turbines are built to stand tall and wide to capture more wind effectively.

The blades on turbines typically are about 200 feet across, but can be as wide as a football field. These blades are made much like an airplane propeller, and can be made of fiberglass, or a lightweight metal or plastic. The towers or bases have to be wide and tall in order to efficiently harness the wind. This is a great power source for the world of today.

Critics of electric wind power point out that the windmills which are essential to power generation are extremely large and make a lot of noise. Ordinarily, they can only be used in rural areas, where the open spaces and elevated terrain essential for their use can be found. Because of these limitations, they are not usually practical for more densely populated areas.

Cover Letter Format: A beginner's guide

By Jimmy Sweney

If you are applying for your first internship, then you're probably very excited about it. However, it is important that you know at least a little background of the company that you apply to. It is also necessary that together with your resume, you submit a cover letter with the right format.

People applying for job openings would only submit resumes without including cover letters. If you are one of them, then you also probably don't have an idea of its correct format. Failing to submit a cover letter will decrease your chances of getting hired because you did not provide enough information and lack marketing strategies for your self.

Cover letters are important because it gives an applicant an edge over the others. It gives the interviewers an overview about you and why you are the perfect candidate for the position. Take time and put effort in writing your letter and pay special attention to the correct format.

Begin with a draft that will serve as the backbone of your letter. Write all your acquired skills and talents that will be useful for you to accomplish your work. It is better to make your draft as early as possible so that you will also have a lot of time to review and edit it.

Keep in mind that your letter should not be over a page long. Clean your draft by removing extraneous information such as detailed family history or educational background beginning with your elementary years. However, do include an educational background with your most recent studies, or degrees earned. This is plus factor for you. Make your letter concise and not lengthy.

Remove unnecessary entries in your draft. Be sure to leave the important details such as your traits, skills, and abilities. You can also include your educational background especially if it is related to the job you are applying for.

It is advisable to include a request for interview to show that you are determined to get the position. However, do it in a courteous way and show your professionalism. Revising your letter every now and then is also helpful because in case you missed out some errors, you will be able to correct it at once.

Quince

By Marie Austin

Blackthorn is a densely branched thorny shrub growing to a height of 1-5 m. The bark on the stem is blackish-brown and the lateral twigs have a terminal spine. The buds are small and ovate; the flower buds arc generally borne in dense clusters on short twigs. The whitish flowers appear in April -- May before the leaves. The fruits, known as sloes, ripen in September-October and are astringent, becoming tastier after the first frosts. The brown, pitted seed is difficult to separate from the pulp.

Cultivated varieties bear fruits from 5 to 11 cm across. These are either pear-shaped - C. o. pyriformis or apple-shaped - C. o. maliformis and contain a large number of brown seeds measuring 4-6 mm.

A native of the area bordering the Caspian Sea, it grows on sandy and loamy soils around lakes as well as on dry banks. In central and western Europe it is cultivated in parks and gardens for its fruits and as an ornamental species. It grows best in a sunny spot, and tolerates dry situations. In Europe it is frost-resistant only in warmer regions. The fruits are edible and used either raw or cooked. Propagation is by means of seeds or green cuttings.

It is a native of Asia Minor, Iran and Caucasia, where it grows on richer soils in open broadleaved woods. It tolerates moderate shade. Cultivated varieties of this species arc widely planted in the parks and gardens of central and western Europe.

They are rich in Vitamin C, have a pleasant aromatic scent, and can be used in making preserves. The ovary contains a large number of brown, apple-pip-like seeds. This shrub is a native of the Shantung Province in China but has been cultivated in Japan for centuries. It is widely grown in the parks and gardens of central and western Europe for its lovely flowers.

It also stands up well to temperatures of minus 20C and grows on drier soils ; however, it requires a sunny aspect to produce a profusion of flowers. It is readily propagated by means of seeds and also throws up root suckers. Solitary specimens are very ornamental but it is equally well suited for the formation of thick thorny hedges.

Using The COUNTIF Function in Microsoft Excel 2007

By Andrew Whiteman

The COUNTIF function enables us to count the number of cells in a given range which satisfy a condition. COUNTIFS does exactly the same. However, with COUNTIFS, we can specify multiple criteria. For instance, let's say we have a worksheet containing four columns: the date, the number of phone calls received, the number of complaints and the percentage of calls which were actually complaints.

We now want to create a report worksheet to calculate the number of days where the percentage of calls that were complaints is, firstly, under 5%; secondly, between five and 10% and, thirdly, over 10%.

To find those days where there were fewer than 5% or more than 10%, we can use COUNTIF function because we are dealing with a simple condition: less than 5% or greater than 10%. However, to find those days where there were between 5% and 10%, we will need to use multiple criteria; firstly, greater than or equal to five and, secondly, less than or equal to 10. For this reason, we will need the COUNTIFS function.

When creating formulas, it is always useful to give names to the ranges of cells are you are referencing. To allow Excel create the names for you automatically, select all of your data, including the column headings then, in the Formulas Tab of the Excel Ribbon, click on Create from Selection. Switch on the option "Create names from values in the Top Row" and click OK. Let's assume that the heading at the top of the fourth column (the one containing the percentage of calls which were actually complaints) is "Percentage", this would be the name that we would use in our COUNTIF formulas.

Having created our named ranges, we can switch to the report worksheet and click in the cell where we want to calculate the total number of days where less than 5% of our calls were complaints. Here we would enter our formula: =COUNTIF(Percentage,"<5"). Notice how, when using COUNTIF and COUNTIFS, the criteria are always surrounded by quotation marks.

In a similar way, to calculate the total number of days where more than 10% of our calls were complaints, we would use the formula =COUNTIF(Percentage,">10").

Finally, to return the total number of days where between 5 and 10% of our calls were complaints, we would use the formula =COUNTIFS(Percentage,">=5",Percentage,"<=10"). The COUNTIFS function enables you to repeat the two arguments used with the COUNTIF function (criteria range and criteria) up to 127 times. Thus, in our example, criteria_range1 is Percentage; criteria1 is ">=5"; criteria_range2 is also Percentage; and criteria2 is "<=10".

What is Chamomile?

By Adam Robert

Chervil is an annual herb growing up to 70 cm (2 ft 4 in). It is native to the Caucasus and western Asia and was used for seasoning food by the ancient Romans, who during their military campaigns introduced it to many European countries including the British Isles.

The flower heads, which have a spicy aroma and pleasant, slightly bitter taste, were originally used in the treatment of various diseases, including jaundice and diseases of the liver as well as migraine. Chamomile tea is a time- honoured tonic with a pleasant taste that aids digestion.

The parts used primarily for seasoning are the strongly aromatic and slightly bitter seeds (achenes), which are grown and harvested for this purpose in France, India and the USA. The aohenes, slightly reminiscent of the fruit of anise, are ground and combined with common salt for use as celery salt in seasoning foods. Some celery salts also include the ground root or foliage. Celery salt is used as seasoning for fish dishes, soups, vegetables and croquettes.

The leaves, too, may be used to flavour foods. They are cooked together with the .stalks and removed before the food is served. If they are stripped from the thick stalks the leaves can be readily dried.

All the present varieties of celery were obtained by breeding and selecting from the original form with tough, slender, branching stems growing wild in salty soils, particularly on the south-European coast of the Mediterranean.

If you do not have a garden chervil can be einilly grown in a pot or windowbox.

Paternity Testing: So The Pieces Fit Together

By Patricia Denny

Paternity testing is the method thats most often used to determine the biological relationship between a child and a man. This procedure has become so popular over the years that the ways that this popular form of dna testing is carried out has undergone some changes.

Paternity Test

Of course there is the paternity test before birth that is generally carried out by a medical doctor. This method, like the others that are used to obtain the same high quality results, can be carried out with the alleged fathers and childs samples. Having the mother provide a sample here is not mandatory.

Categories

As well, paternity testing is further divided into two more subcategories. At home paternity testing is done most often by people that are only curious and the results from these tests are generally not admissible in a court of law. The other version of the paternity test dna holds up in court but these tests are handled through an accredited facility.

No matter what kind of DNA testing that you choose, youll need to select the best place possible to have the tests carried out. Remember here that there are a few criteria that you need to look at and at the top of that list is diversity. Make sure you have a good look at the kinds of services that the place offers that youre considering.

Experts In The Field

Remember that its a general rule that the more things a dna testing facility can do , the better they generally are at everything they do. So if the site that youre looking at can handle paternity testing and at the same time Siblingship testing, that means that theyve diversified enough to call themselves experts in the field.

When youre looking for the best place that you can find when it comes to paternity testing, make sure that you get to the site that has all the angles covered and can also boast a great customer service department. You might find that its a great comfort to have a real person on the other end of the phone thats willing to help you with any or all of your paternity testing questions.

Maintenance Operations at Spokane Steel Foundry

By Justin Olesen, Maintenance Manager

When I took over the maintenance shop at Spokane Industries Steel Foundry Division in March of 2008 I knew it was going to be an experience that I couldn't begin to imagine. It was a blank slate. With support from great ownership and a good core management group we could do anything we set our mind to. This wasn't the first steel foundry that I have had an opportunity to help improve but I was hoping that we could be so effective that it might just be my last.

Spokane Industries Steel Foundry Divisions Maintenance Department is somewhat immature from an organizational stand point, but we have the fortitude and the tools in place to get from good to great in a timely fashion and in an orderly manor.

Spokane Industries Maintenance Department personnel are in a time of transition and change. And we all know how difficult that can be, especially with maintenance guys. I know because I am one.

We are starting our journey from reactive to proactive maintenance with a good base. eMaint Enterprises LLC furnishes our Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) support and they do an excellent job. We have utilized their system to build a purchasing platform, relocate and catalog over 3800 part numbers, tracked all of our critical to success metrics, and we are even starting to benefit from mean time between failure data and work order history.

Using Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), the leadership of the department has started to turn preventative maintenance over to autonomous exercises, allowing specialized maintenance to perform detailed inspections to ward off catastrophic failure scenarios. We have been able to reduce inventory while still feeling confident we will have the parts on hand for scheduled maintenance once the inspection process reveals the useful life of the component to be nearly expired.

We have over two centuries of maintenance experience amoungst electricians and millwrights and I feel extremely lucky to have inherited the talent we have in this shop. Our task is now to get that knowledge documented and available to the younger staff members and to get the veterans utilizing lean maintenance techniques to determine Root Cause (RCA) during the repair process of failed machinery. We have already implemented several action items that have eliminated root cause of failures and moved some dollars right to the bottom line. The largest hurdle here is that we have had virtually no early machine management, and some of the equipment has been around a while.

Although we have many challenges to face and an uncertain economic future we are dedicated and unwavering in our quest for excellence and continuous improvement. After all, the mother of invention is necessity, and our necessity is to do more with less through increased efficiencies.

Billy Newman, Production Manager for Spokane Steel Foundry states, "The opportunity to achieve success is great with Spokane Industries Maintenance Department and I believe the individuals within the maintenance department are up to the challenge. We have great leadership at the shift level and the momentum is in our favor. In my opinion we are poised at this point to attack the heavy hitters, and really start to benefit our internal customers."

The road is long, but with facilitation from management, and support at the operator level we can make Predictive Maintenance a reality, and help Spokane Industries continue as a world class supplier of steel and iron castings.

About the Author:

The Maintenance Operations at Spokane Industries Steel Foundry Division is motivated and focused. Maintenance Operations are an invaluable department in the complex machinery that make a large and efficient Steel Foundry function smoothly and minimize any slow-downs.

Planning for changing needs

By Jane Courtney

The demands of a single family can vary enormously over a number of years. Where they are likely to be in the same home for sonic time it is important that the garden plan is flexible enough to reflect these changing needs. A young couple might use the garden mainly for sunbathing or entertaining and would want a simple layout which is easy to look after.

The topsoil is the essential layer for plant growth. Its texture and composition generally depend upon the parent rock from which it has very gradually been formed, by the interaction of water, climate and vegetation. Weathering agents such as frost, rain and sun break the rock down over thousands of years to form the basic mineral structure of the soil. Plants grow on the rock debris and myriads of microorganisms work on the dead roots and fallen leaves to decay them, producing the essential organic constituent of the topsoil, known as humus.

As children leave home the garden area should become quieter and parents should have more time to spend in it. They may concentrate more on the plants themselves, possibly with special interests developing such as roses or a greenhouse. However, what can be looked after with ease at fifty becomes something of a chore at seventy.

When an elaborate layout becomes complicated for eventual maintenance will be necessary to reduce the need intensive gardening, preferably in a which retains the original effect.

In the family life cycle of a garden use can grow and expand and then sl reduce its scope again. The demands may vary from, at one extreme, provide a tranquil retreat after a noisy day wor in town to creating the need for phys exercise in otherwise sedentary lives.

Between topsoil and parent bed rock there may be many layers of stone and gravel, but the layer immediately beneath the topsoil is generally the subsoil. Its depth varies according to the hardness of the underlying rock and the amount of erosion it has suffered. The colour and texture of subsoil are usually different from those of the topsoil because it is in a transitional stage, without humus or organic material. For this reason, it is not a growing medium.

As Many Loan Modification Scams As Octo-Mom Has Babies?

By Bob Boog

The other night, it was my turn to cook dinner so naturally I did a Google search for dinner recipes. After all, dads like me need a little help to bring the gang to the table and ensure that they'll stay there! Sometimes when it comes to loan modifications, most folks will take the word of the foreclosure helper -- not realizing that there are as many varieties of scams as quick pasta dinner recipes on the Internet! Today we'll discuss just three loose loan modification scam categorizes:

Phantom Helper:

The scam artist pledges to the homeowner that for a fee, he will be able to cut the owners payments by a third. Then after taking the owners money, the scammer vanishes like a waiter in an expensive restaurant - never to be seen or heard from again.

The Savior Trick:

This scam involves a con artist who offers some sort of plan or scheme to get the homeowner out of his or her predicament. One common example is the rent-to-buy scheme where the scam artist promises to take title to the property, cure the default, and rent the property back to the homeowners until they get back on their feet again and buy back the property. What in fact happens is that the scam artist reneges on these promises by, for example, not curing the default, not honoring the rent-back agreement, or selling the property to an unsuspecting buyer.

Bait-and-Switch:

The homeowner is saved from his dilemma by the generous helper who offers to bail him out. Perhaps the helper promises to take title to the property, modify the loan, and then lease the property back to the homeowner until he is able to purchase the property. Usually the scammer ends up not honoring the agreement, and does the old switcheroo. Meaning that because he is the owner, he can legally kick out the owner. Often the helper rents the property until it is foreclosed upon and keeps all the rent receipts for himself.

In addition to the above categories, there are many other types of foreclosure-related scams, including forgeries, theft, identity theft, property flipping scams, loan fraud, predatory lending practices, pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes, bankruptcy fraud, landlord-tenant fraud, short sale consulting fraud, and bank-owned property or REO fraud.

Therefore, if a helper asks for payment only in the form of cash, cashiers check or wire transfer " beware. If a helper asks you to transfer title or your interest in the property-- beware; if a helper makes an guaranteed promise to stop foreclosure or other assurances beware.

These are just some of the ways that real estate agents and their clients can distinguish between legitimate and illegal enterprises. And just as OctoMom would be wary of getting advice to have more children, when it comes to foreclosures, short sales and loan modifications, you should be extra cautious with people offering their services to help you too

English Medieval Garden

By Rylan Michael

The English garden as we know it today owes most to two Victorians, William Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll, and the influence of their ideas. William Robinson was greatly influenced by having seen plants growing naturally in alpine meadows on his travels abroad.

The main historical contribution of Germany has been a numerical one- in the sixteenth century there were more gardens in Germany than in any other country in Europe-and a certain exaggeration of the elements in any style they adopted. The French formal style of gardening also flourished in the sandy soil of Holland, on a smaller and less sophisticated scale but with more emphasis on hedges, fantastic topiary and decorative planting. Their box-edged formal beds were tilled with tulips in the spring, brought hack from the Middle East. The Dutch were responsible, through their trading and through their rise as a colonial power, for the introduction of much imported plant material- from China, America, South Africa and many other countries. They introduced the lilac, the pelargonium and the chrysanthemum into Europe and popularized tulips and many other bulbs.

In the same way that English medieval gardens remained pale counterparts of the elegant and colourful enclosures found in Europe, the gardens of English royalty and aristocracy developed on the lines of Italian and French Renaissance layouts during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They were, however, less rigorously formal, since the English climate is more conducive to mixed planting. There was also a developing interest in horticulture and a new emphasis on flowers grown for their appearance rather than for culinary and medicinal use.

While Europe was following the fashionable style of the English landscape garden, the quite different Victorian age of gardening writings of Miss Jekyll and William Robinson also coincided with the restoraWon and rehabilitation of long-neglected smaller country houses, farmhouses and cottages and their ideas appealed equally to Mese self-sufficient gardeners. Gertrude Jekyll invented the herbaceous border, planted with roses, shrubs and hardy plants, which has an element of romanticism always associated with the traditional English cottage garden.

An emergent middle class began to move out into the suburbs or even the country, which meant that many more people had gardens of their own and an interest in gardening greatly increased.

The many new plant discoveries at this time included conifers, anemones, winter jasmine, forsythia, primulas, rhododendrons and azaleas. The most significant aspect of this era of gardening is that it established the prime importance of plants in the creation of a garden.

Do You Dream About Fast Cars?

By Brett Slansky

I do not know how about you, but since I was like three years old, I have always loved to play with some of my fast cars toys. Dreaming that one day I will have one of those in real size!

That were great times. Playing games with friends of mine. Walking aroundtown searching for the best fast cars we could find.

I completely knew all kinds of cool cars brands and was able to even name the car type like BMW M3, Ferrari Testarossa etc...

One day I tried to play that game with my dad and he just replied: "Why you wanna have that car, if you can't afford it"? Which put me back on the ground from my day-dreaming. But not for long.

I thought that I can have it and I never stop believing that one day I will drive some nice cool fast car or have even couple of these fast cars in my garage. And it was worth it. Fast cars are still passion of mine and today I own only BMW M3, but am on my way to get my new dream car, which is Audi R8 in black and gold.

Now You are probably wondering why do I waste your time with this story, right?

You see, the point is so simple. I know that you had a dream or maybe still have about having some fast cars parked in front of your house and I am here to tell you that you can do it. The same way I did.

All you need to know is what can you do in order to have fast cars in your garage. Do you even know what type of car, what color you want to have, how many horsepower or how much it will cost?

After You will have clear answers for these questions, you will be on you way of owning fast cars very soon. That being said, I have a tip for you. Recently I have read a book from Dr. Suzanne that is called "Top Secret Car Secret" and it will show you how to get fast cars for much less.

Optional Reading Glasses

By Amanda Somrekli

Reading glasses have come a long way since today's senior citizens started using them. Seniors are accustomed to buying bland styles of reading glasses at drug stores. But Baby Boomers have embraced readers in a way that could never have been anticipated. Boomers view them not simply as a vision aid but as items that help make fashion statements.

If you are not savvy to the names of such frames, all you need to remember is to choose reading glasses that will add width to the upper part of your face.

You may have noticed that people have second thoughts about approaching you, even though your closest friends swear that you have the most congenial personality.

There are also several age related eye diseases that can occur over 40. Most serious eye diseases are painless, and show no symptoms for years. Only a qualified professional can detect and diagnose them before they cause permanent damage.

Third, check out the frames. Are they made of cheap plastic and painted alloys or are they made of optical-quality zyls and solid metals? Cheap plastics are more likely to show scratches and wear than better quality frames. And inexpensive materials tend to peel, flake and show their age before their time.

Cataracts are caused by a build up of protein on the lens of the eye. Over time, the lens turns milky white, and clouds vision. The lenses then need to be surgically replaced to restore vision.

Macular Degeneration results in the loss of sharp vision. The macula is the part of your eye that is responsible for sharp focus, and bringing things clearly into view. The cause of this condition is still unknown, and it generally affects people over 60. Like all other parts of your body, your eyes respond favorably to great nutrition and exercise.

With the huge variety of colors, shapes and materials available today your first shopping experience can be overwhelming. However, if you follow a few simple suggestions you should have no problem finding something just right.

The next time you are looking at eyeglasses, try to match the top of the eyeglasses (the upper edge of the lenses and frames) with the shape of your brow. You will be pleasantly surprised to see that most any frame you select using this method will fit you quite nicely.

Using this method you will take the mystery out of, and make selecting your next pair of eyeglass or reading glasses frames much more fun.

Effective Strategies In Network Marketing

Network marketing has been around for quite some time now. While the underlying principles of operation remain the same in this form of marketing, the practice has undergone a series of changes to cope with the advancement of technology. Initially, network marketing, also known as multilevel marketing was entirely done offline. After the coming of internet technology, the norm has changed and has consequently moved online. This means it is carried through the internet. However, some have remained in the traditional means of multilevel marketing.

Multilevel marketing is a way of marketing, distribution or selling products and or services through a network of autonomous individuals or groups of individuals as opposed to the offline rental premises. More and more businesses have embraced this form of marketing due to the potential it has in finding a wider customer base through independent marketers. There are various products and services that can be sold through multilevel marketing. Anybody with some marketing skills and passions can enter in the bandwagon and make good money.

Multilevel marketing is especially a good choice for those persons wishing to start home business as a way of making a living in cases where there is lack of enough capital to start a normal business. This initiative requires no capital for start-up. All you will need is to be a member of an affiliate company or business group that sells products through network marketing. You are at liberty to choose a product or service which you are comfortable with so that it will be easy for you to market.

As a multilevel marketer, you will have two crucial roles. First, you are to sell the business products or services to as many customers as possible. Remember the earning is in form of commission. How much money you make will depend on the number of products you have sold or their ultimate value. Secondly, you are also supposed to recruit more marketers in the chain to market out the business products or services. Once you have joined the network, you will be encouraged to bring in more and more marketers. Most companies will have special packages to those marketers who have established hierarchies in the chain. This means the more recruits you bring in the chain, the more money you make.

In some cases, new marketers are given products to sell at a lower commission by splitting it. You will need some network marketing strategies and some dedication to succeed in this system.

Clary

By James Pollock

The elderberry is a shrub up to 7 m (23 ft high distributed throughout Europe, western Asia and North America. The white flowers, appearing in late spring - early summer, are followed by black fruits (nigra in Latin means black) - three-seeded berries, or rather drupes.

It is a biennial with large leaves and tall stems up to 1 m (3 ft) high, and a good plant for the herb garden because it is hardy and the leaves may be used throughout the winter when fresh herbs are scarce.

In the Middle Ages it was called `Oculus Christi', meaning the eye of Christ, and was added to vegetables and to meat dishes to give them a subtler taste. The famous French book Le menagier de Paris includes it among the herbs for flavouring vegetable omelettes and in a recipe for a green marinade for preserving fish. The seeds of clary were believed to counter 'eye weakness'.

In the Middle Ages roast goose called `Suce Madame' was prepared according to the following recipe: 'Take sage, parsley, hyssop and savory, quince and pears and stuff the goose, then close the cavity and sew it so the fat cannot escape, and roast it well'. Savory, however, had to be used sparingly for, as Mattioli wrote in his herbal, 'it incites to wantonness'. Mattioli derived its generic name from the satyrs of antiquity.

Their chief attraction in cookery is their lovely red colour which dissolves well in water. In former times elderberries were used to colour wine, chiefly port. They are added in small amounts to apple and pear compotes. In some north European countries they are used to make a fruit soup, eaten with baked apples and dumplings or toasted bread. They are also the principal ingredient of an old English ketchup called poulac.

The seeds are used whole in pickling gherkins and vegetables, in making marinades and like coriander to flavour sausage meat. In England young seedlings are added to green salads. They may be grown readily and rapidly at home from seeds sown in a dish covered with a piece of damp flannel, where they will produce seedlings ready for picking within a week. An annual herb reaching a height of 80 cm (32 in), it is readily distinguished from other mustards by the seeds (1) which arc contained in pods (siliques) terminated by a prominent beak (2,3). They arc straw-yellow in colour and are larger than other mustard seeds. Mustard has a brief growth period and ripening and harvesting depend on the time of sowing. It is harvested when the pods turn brownish-yellow and the seeds harden.

Tomato Herb

By Jonathan Richardson

Even the smallest herb garden should include at least a few marjoram plants. The one difficulty is that, being a native of the warm Mediterranean region, it is damaged by frost in colder winters and must be sown afresh every spring.

The first European botanist to describe the plant was Mattioli. He named it `mala insana', meaning unhealthy fruit, and for a long time it was considered poisonous. In consequence it was not eaten until the 19th century.

Mattioli was partly right, for the green parts of the plant are slightly poisonous and furthermore he was perhaps guided by a well- founded fear; for the tomato belongs to the nightshade family which includes many highly poisonous species which it resembles.

The rhizomes and roots are used to make commercial soup flavourings. The hollow stem may be cut crosswise into ring-like pieces and candied in the same way as the stem of angelica. All parts of lovage may be used fresh as well as dried, whole, crushed or ground.

Nowadays, marjoram is added to soups, sauces for stewed meats (mainly mutton), stuffings and pkes. Its widest use, however, is in seasoning sausages and salamis. Sometimes it is used together with other fresh herbs in 'bouquet garni'.

Majorana hortensis is a perennial, bushy plant growing up to 40 cm (16 in) high that flowers from July to September. It requires a rather light, limy soil, rich in nutrients and moisture. It is grown throughout the whole of Europe as well as in north Africa (Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt). The seeds should be sown in boxes in early spring and the young seedlings moved outdoors to their permanent position when all danger of frost is past. Marjoram may be harvested and used in cooking as spice.
