			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel like you know just enough about Swine Flu to be dangerous? Let&#8217;s see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Swine Flu experts.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom has become the latest country to confirm cases of the swine flu. At the same time, the World Health Organization has raised its alert level from 3 to 4. With 150 people already killed in Mexico, the WHO revealed that the influenza virus has the sustainability for human-to-human transmission and can cause community level outbreaks. </p>
<p>One can recall a similar outbreak known as bird flu which was more risky than H1N1 virus. According to Professor Neil Ferguson of the World Health Organization, H1N1 is nothing when compared to other similar outbreaks such as SARS or the 1918 Spanish flu. </p>
<p>According to the professor, the evidence is clear that the United Kingdom is headed for a swine influenza pandemic in the coming months. However, it would be difficult to determine the extent of the epidemic since this is usually the time of the year when flu is prominent in the United Kingdom.  </p>
<p>It is likewise almost sure that if the H1N1 outbreak disappears in the coming weeks, there might still be an outbreak of the virus in the autumn. If the situation indeed transforms into an epidemic, then 30% &#8211; 40% of the general population might become susceptible to infection. Professor Ferguson believes that any outbreak might become longer since the summer season in the United Kingdom is fast approaching. </p>
<p>On the other hand, Sir Liam Donaldson, who is concurrent Chief Medical Officer for England, believes that this new strain of H1N1 virus is something which people has natural immunity and has not received any vaccination yet. For this reason, one becomes susceptible to infection and spread to other people.<br />
However, there is no sufficient information about the virus yet and H1N1 is still a subject of studies by major laboratories in the world. Once there is sufficient information about the virus, only then can it be possible to make improved predictions about individuals who are at higher risk and likely to have serious complications.</p>
<p>The best time to learn about Swine Flu is before you&#8217;re in the thick of things. Wise readers will keep reading to earn some valuable Swine Flu experience while it&#8217;s still free.</p>
<p>At present, the situation in Mexico is creating confusion and it is hard to make a firm a conclusion about what is likely to happen. In any case, there is a need to be ready for any untoward incidents that may happen. </p>
<p>Professor John Oxford, meanwhile, believes that the H1N1 outbreak is not as alarming as the H5N1 bird flu virus. He believes that the country can provide the basic H1N1 immunity for the population. The outbreaks outside of Mexico have not resulted to deaths which is an indication that the virus is not that aggressive. </p>
<p>Aside from that, the summer months is fast approaching so it is less probable for the H1N1 virus to cause an outbreak as well. In any case, the United Kingdom has enough antiviral medicines to treat half of the population. </p>
<p>With this in mind, there is no cause for worry about the H1N1 virus, as it appears that it would cause an outbreak that would be felt all over the world and increase mortality rates. </p>
<p>The outbreak of H1N1 began in Mexico City and as of today has resulted to the death of 42 people and more than 800 confirmed cases of swine flu infection. Although it has now spread in 22 countries, it is believed that this new virus outbreak would not be result to a pandemic and is milder than similar virus infections. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El Desayuno is known as Breakfast in Mexico. It consists of a hardy meal containing many colors, spices and flavors. Breakfast varies depending on the region. Some produce is not available in other regions. It also varies because of ethnic diversity. Breakfast dishes have a long history that dates back to the Aztecs and Mayans and also from Spanish rule for more than three centuries. </p>
<p>Tortillas are not just for dinner. You can find most people in Mexico eating them for Breakfast. The tortillas are made into burritos, tacos, and tostados. Beside the tortilla on their plate, are usually colorful fruits and vegetables. It is common to eat a variety for Breakfast. Vegetables include tomatoes, and red green peppers. Fresh fruits enjoyed at Breakfast are Watermelons, Oranges, Pineapples, and Strawberries. Plato de Frutas is a great breakfast dish that consists of many different fruits. It is pretty much what you would find a fruit salad. Some fruits in Plato de frutas are melons, bananas, mangoes, and sometimes papayas. </p>
<p>Eggs are also common in Mexican breakfast. A dish that has become popular in much of the Americas is Huevos rancheros. The name means eggs that are ranch-style. The most common version of the dish consists of corn tortillas that are lightly fried and fried or scrambled eggs with a chili sauce. Other foods that are typically added to the dish include beans, olives, avocados, and fried potatoes. Another dish that involves eggs is Huevos Motulenos. The eggs are made on tortillas and covered with tomatoes, beans, peas, ham, and chilies. A dish that doesn&#8217;t include eggs, but is seen during breakfast in Mexico is Chilaquiles. It is tortillas that are stir fried with onions, and spices and sometimes with added chicken. It is topped with cheese and served with a type of gravy sauce.        </p>
<p>Most of this information comes straight from the Mexican Food pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you&#8217;ll know what they know.</p>
<p>Mexicans love chocolate and enjoy it in the morning. You may be thinking of chocolate bars, but for residents of Mexico, it is to drink. The chocolate is thin discs that are put into water or milk and melted. People also add other ingredients that make it not the same as hot chocolate. This may include vanilla, cream, egg yolks, and cinnamon. Even though chocolate is a favorite, Mexicans still like having coffee in the morning like the rest of North America.</p>
<p>Mexican coffee is more light and nutty in flavor than Coffee in the United States with a touch of a chocolate taste. It is comparable to expensive brands of coffee in America. When drinking, it may leave a burnt after taste at first, but it becomes normal after a few more sips. Coffee is Mexico&#8217;s most popular morning drink. </p>
<p>If ever on a vacation in Mexico, try staying at a Bed and Breakfast. You will be served an authentic Mexican breakfast. If you do not travel, look in your local white pages for your nearest Mexican restaurants. Many of them serve breakfast items. </p>
<p>Another good way on trying breakfast Mexican style is by searching for recipes and giving them a try. Once you try the foods, you might just add them to your everyday morning!</p>
<p>It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on Mexican Food. Compare what you&#8217;ve learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of Mexican Food. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.</p>
<p>If you try to ask the women what they consider the most attractive part in a male body, it is most likely the answer you will get is their six pack abs, those abdominal muscles with beautiful, sculpted definition. A great toned and sculpted abs is a sexy part that women just cannot help but get instinctively drawn over the man owning it. Who wouldn&#8217;t when it is a representation of the man having fit, healthy, and strong physical condition and an indication that he is fit enough to give protection to her? </p>
<p>So, it isn&#8217;t surprising to see every gym full of men doing every exercise routines as possible to get that much-prized killer abs. Crunches, leg raises, sit-ups, and all other kinds of body twisting trainings, these are what these men keep busy. Unfortunately, not all of these men end up successful in making their abdominal muscles visibly and beautifully appearing. What is the reason? Now, check the following to understand how one cannot easily develop six-pack abs.</p>
<p>Fallacy #1. To develop killer abs, you have to do abs-specific exercises. You have to do many repetitions of crunches, leg raises, sit-ups, and other similar training types in order to develop those rock solid muscles faster.</p>
<p>The truth is, no matter how many repetitions of these exercises you do, it will never be possible to develop rock solid muscles in your abdominals if there are layers of fats covering your belly. The flab of fats has to be removed first before you can work out on your muscles. Otherwise, your waistline will even become bigger while love handles will become thicker because the muscles developed add to the layers of fat. What you need to do? Get those fats off by taking care of your diet, making it the healthiest possible and one that provides your body with all macronutrients needed. </p>
<p>Fallacy #2. Gadgets, machines, electronic gizmos, slimming pills and supplements are what you need for speedy development of killer abs. </p>
<p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered those aspects of Six Pack Abs, let&#8217;s turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.</p>
<p>The truth is makers of all these things claim they work because they need revenues from their products. However, it is not a good thing to rely on these machines because as mentioned over and over again, you need the right ingredients in order to develop hard rock muscles. These three ingredients are proper nutrition diet, cardiovascular workouts, and quality strength training combined with weights. </p>
<p>Fallacy #3. You can eat whatever you want as long as you are rigidly working out. </p>
<p>To show your abdominal muscles, you have to reduce or lose fats deposited around the belly area. To do this, you have to lose fats permanently by having a mild-deficit caloric restriction diet. Therefore, it is totally not a good idea to still afford yourself to eat whatever you want even though what you know is you are burning the calories as you are working out your body. When you are not careful with what you eat and drink, all your workouts will be useless. Those unwanted fats and calories will still stubbornly stay. To avoid that, have a nice diet program for your nutritional needs.</p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p>There are three things you need to remember: have a mild calorie deficit diet, frequent cardio training, and quality weight or strength trainings to permanently burn fats away and develop muscles so six-pack abs will show up on your body.</p>
<p>Knowing enough about Six Pack Abs to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you&#8217;ve just learned about Six Pack Abs, you should have nothing to worry about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re seriously interested in knowing about Hydrogen Fuel, you need to think beyond the basics. This informative article takes a closer look at things you need to know about Hydrogen Fuel.</p>
<p>Hydrogen as fuel for motor vehicles, is this a great idea? As early as 1970s, plans for hydrogen powered vehicles have been in the works. Scientists and researchers believe that these cars can change the future. People know for a fact that there is great abundance of hydrogen and unlike fossil fuels, scarcity is not a problem. With regards to exhaust emissions, it cannot increase the presence of greenhouse gases here on Earth. </p>
<p>Environmentalists love the idea of hydrogen fuel and no one can really tell what will happen in the near future. However, according to some studies, improper production of hydrogen fuel can emit nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen oxides can add to global warming since it causes acid rain. This can be prevented and minimized through appropriate engine timing as well as optimized hydrogen concentration.  </p>
<p>Hydrogen cars can use the alternative fuel using two approaches. The first approach will be to use fuel cells and the other one is to modify the internal combustion engine of your car. </p>
<p>Hybrid cars can either use gasoline and hydrogen. Two tanks are found in the car; one for gas and the other for hydrogen. Dual tanks are recommended at present because hydrogen stations are uncommon. In the whole US alone, there are only over 100 hydrogen stations. With two tanks, you can refuel with gasoline and the car will still run. This is a practical way of conquering the road and at the same time, cutting down gas costs. </p>
<p>With the use of fuel cells, you can double the range run of your motor vehicle. You will simply use water and the hydrogen there will react with oxygen. Water vapor is produced as well as the needed electricity to power the motor vehicle.</p>
<p>The more authentic information about Hydrogen Fuel you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Hydrogen Fuel expert. Read on for even more Hydrogen Fuel facts that you can share.</p>
<p>The problem seen by experts when using hydrogen as fuel for motor vehicles is that it?s not actually an independent fuel. It basically stores energy. The power needed should be extracted from hydrogen and presently, the process involves the use of fossil fuels. </p>
<p>Storing hydrogen in the motor vehicle is also a great consideration. The hydrogen should always be in liquid form and to do this, the temperature should be maintained at 253 degrees Celsius. If the temperature gets warmer, hydrogen will soon be in gas form. Tremendous insulated tanks are needed as well as venting systems. </p>
<p>Only when the possible problems are solved can the world fully benefit from hydrogen powered vehicles. Aside from that, hydrogen stations should be increased so that the car owners can easily refuel when they ran out of hydrogen. Perhaps the hydrogen motor vehicles used at present are quite expensive but in the future, perhaps more affordable hydrogen powered vehicles will be offered to the pubic.</p>
<p>In fact, popular car manufacturers like General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc. are designing hydrogen powered motor vehicles that are priced similar to ordinary gas-consuming vehicles. </p>
<p>People can only hope that the so-called future cars will be a reality. If you want to experience using hydrogen as fuel, you can have your car converted. With dual tanks, you can save money and just in case you can?t find a hydrogen station, you can always refuel with gasoline. </p>
<p>Hydrogen as fuel for motor vehicles will definitely be a big hit in the coming years. For now, try to help save the environment with other means.    </p>
<p>Is there really any information about Hydrogen Fuel that is nonessential? We all see things from different angles, so something relatively insignificant to one may be crucial to another.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A pandemic second quarter of 2009 outbreak of influenza A (H1N1) virus is a new strain of influenza virus identified commonly referred to as Swine Flu confirmed cases topped almost 6,000 individuals, as Belgium became the latest European nation to be hit by the influenza A(H1N1) virus.  World Health Organization (WHO) officials said the number of cases of influenza A(H1N1) stood at around 6,000 and nearly 7,000 in more than 30 countries, with more than 60 people having died from the disease.  </p>
<p>Cases were first discovered in the U.S. and officials soon suspected a link between those incidents and an earlier outbreak of late-season flu cases in Mexico.  In less than a week hundreds of suspected cases, some of them serious, were discovered in Mexico.  Soon thereafter, the WHO along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expressed concern that the A(H1N1) could become a worldwide flu pandemic, and WHO then raised its pandemic disease alert level to &#8220;Phase 5&#8243; out of the six maximum, as a &#8220;signal that a pandemic is at about to happen level&#8221;.</p>
<p>More than three thousand cases of infections including three deaths was the recorded highest number of A(H1N1) by the United States compared to Mexico where only more than two thousand reported cases of infection including 60 deaths were confirmed.  The WHO said 389 people were also confirmed with the virus ? and one person had died ? in Canada who happens to be with the 19-year-old Chinese career that brings in to China a spread out.  Two other cases have been confirmed in Hong Kong.  Authorities there said they had quarantined six people who traveled with the second case, a 24-year-old man, by plane from San Francisco.  A further 45 people who sat near him on his journey had already left Hong Kong, they said.  </p>
<p>If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Swine Flu story from informed sources.</p>
<p>China, in the meantime, stepped up the search for people who came into contact with the mainland&#8217;s two confirmed Swine Flu patients.  A 30-year-old man was confirmed to have the virus in the southwestern city of Chengdu.  He had been in the United States before his homecoming to China.  Plane (Air Canada flight to Beijing) and train (for Shandong Province with 20 people on board) travelers with a 5 meter contact with a 19-year-old student (his surname is Lu: second confirmed victim) are being haunted by Chinese Authorities in Beijing and Eastern Shandong province. </p>
<p>He?s not feeling well, a couple of days after his arrival in Beijing but still continue to travel by train with a fever, sore throat and a headache.  They believed that virus highlighted in China and Hong Kong could be a mix of bird and human flu which came together in pigs.</p>
<p>Belgium confirmed its first case of Swine Flu in a 28-year-old man who also had been in the United States.  Jose Angel Cordova (Health Minister of Mexico) moved to reassure tourists, saying that the country&#8217;s beaches and resorts ? an important source of foreign income &#8212; were safe for visitors.  &#8220;There&#8217;s no risk to tourists,&#8221; he said, noting that most of the flu cases detected in holiday hotspots like Cancun and Acapulco dated back nearly two weeks.</p>
<p>The Swine Flu outbreak was expected to cost Mexico&#8217;s economy of more than 2 billion dollars ? or about 0.3 percent of gross domestic product.</p>
<p>I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing&#8211;the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is essential for every pet grooming professional to be dressed in the proper apparel. Not only does it show professionalism in the art of pet grooming, but also they are practical uniforms with style and functionality. They should be comfortable and stylish and have reinforcements at all the stress points for long life and durability.  The uniform should reflect the personality of the pet groomer, and also should reflect what kind of pets he grooms.  The uniform should be easy to wash and they should be able to withstand the scratches from dogs and cats without tearing.  The uniform should be stain resistant and come out of the dryer wrinkle free. Each piece of the uniform should be fitted for the person intended to wear it.  The uniform should be loose fitting but tight enough so that the loose material will not hinder the pet grooming process.</p>
<p>A vital part of the uniform is shoes.  The shoes of a pet groomer should be comfortable because the profession requires that the groomer be on their feet for long periods of time.  Dutch shoes should be made of a material that is easy to boorish as some animals lose the ability to control themselves and the shoes might be stained with urine or feces.  The best pet grooming shoes in industry are crocs.  The crocs are made out of rubber and if an animal had an accident, it will not hurt them.  They are easily washed.  Pet grooming shoes should not be made out of leather or canvas.  These materials are easily stained and the smell of the residue of the accidents may stay in this material for a long time.</p>
<p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered those aspects of Pet Grooming, let&#8217;s turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.</p>
<p>Pet grooming professionals should always wear long pants or jeans.  Excited animals can scratch your legs if you wear shorts or a skirt.  The jeans offer real resistance towards scratches or bites.  Some pet groomers opt to where a leather apron or canvas leggings which will prevent scratches.  Also if you were shorts the chance of an infection or infestation of fleas or lice is more likely to occur. The pet grooming specialists can shop at specialty stores or at large pet outlet stores where expert advice can be given to which clothes to buy.</p>
<p>Another consideration when deciding on pet grooming apparel is the choice of gloves.  Some groomers wear just rubber gloves to protect themselves from diseases such as mange.  These diseases if contacted with the human skin can be embarrassing and painful.  Another choice of gloves that are used in the pet grooming industry are leather gloves.  These can deter small animals from ripping up your hands by scratching our biting.  For larger dogs who have a tendency to bite, the pet groomer may use a metal mesh glove which will stop the penetration of the teeth into the skin, but will not stop the pressure of that by coming down upon the hand.  Though the hand will not be punctured, it may be bruised.</p>
<p>The pet grooming professional needs to take in all considerations when buying apparel.  They say that clothes make the man and the uniform that the pet groomer chooses dictates professionalism and the way they are perceived by the client.  Sources for pet grooming uniforms can be found on the Internet, local veterinarians, and large pet outlet stores.</p>
<p>Hopefully the sections above have contributed to your understanding of Pet Grooming. Share your new understanding about Pet Grooming with others. They&#8217;ll thank you for it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel like you know just enough about Mexican Food to be dangerous? Let&#8217;s see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Mexican Food experts.</p>
<p>Tamales have a long history dating back to the Aztecs. They called the tamales, tamalli. In the Aztec language the word means &#8220;wrapped food&#8221;. They were made in different sizes and shapes in dishes and often served at festivals and ceremonies. The dough was very time consuming to make. The Aztecs would cook the tamales by burying them under hot coals. Once the Spanish conquistadores arrived, the Aztecs cooked the tamales in underground pits, or uncovered pots. </p>
<p>The outside of the tamale is dough with the insides being the filling. Tamales have a variety of fillings which include beef, pork, and green corn. Many Mexicans add other main ingredients. Chicken and pumpkin are also common fillings. Sweet tamales will include raisons and cinnamon. Sometimes you might even find fruit tamales. Once the tamales are made, it is wrapped in corn husks. After being wrapped, they can be steamed in a kettle. </p>
<p>Tamales are becoming very popular in the United States. Fillings besides the typical flavors in Mexico are popular. You will find beef, and another filling that consists of corn that is similar to creamed corn. Tamales are found at many Christmas dinners in the American Southwest. In the Southwest the tamales will have a spicy meat filling that is beef or pork and served with a chili con carne sauce. Tamales are easy to eat, and do not leave a mess. Americans are also enjoying them for dinner. Some grocers carry them in the frozen section along side tacos and burritos. The best way to eat tamales is when just out of the steamer. You can taste all of the spices and flavor. If reheated, they still will be enjoyable.</p>
<p>The information about Mexican Food presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about Mexican Food or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.</p>
<p>Another version of the tamale can be found in Arizona and Southern California. It is known as the green corn tamal. Don&#8217;t think that the green means that there is something wrong with the corn; it actually means &#8220;fresh&#8221;. The tamal consists of fresh white corn that is mixed with a variety of cheeses. It is then laid out with a slice of green chile. It is then wrapped in the corn husk and steamed. Another area in the United States that enjoys tamales is the Mississippi Delta. It became known when in the 1900s Mexican workers introduced the food to the African workers in the cotton fields in the South. They tamales have are known as &#8220;hot tamales&#8221; there and are made with corn meal instead of masa.  </p>
<p>Tamales take a lot of preparation to make, so they have become more of a special occasion food. They are common for celebrations on Day of the Dead, and Christmas. Many times, families gather together and make the tamales so it does not take as much time as it would if someone did it alone. </p>
<p>Tamales bring fond memories to people who would eat them all their lives. They are convenient to eat and most of all, tasty! Tamales have a long rich history. If you want to taste an authentic Mexican food, give tamales a try. Once you have, you will understand why many people cannot eat just a few at one sitting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone suffers when someone on the job has bad habits in the workplace.  Bad habits can make for an environment that is unfriendly, unproductive, or even unsafe.  You can only correct your bad habits in the workplace if you recognize them.  </p>
<p>One of the most noticeable bad habits in the workplace is tardiness.  Some people just have a habit of being late to everything.  They are late to arrive, late back from break, and late back from lunch.  This not only puts them in jeopardy of losing their jobs.  It can affect the productivity of the whole crew or office.  </p>
<p>Absenteeism is another bad habit that people can fall into easily.  A new trend is to make all accumulated days off the same.  Sick days, personal days, and vacation days are lumped together.  You just have a set number of days off and it is up to you how you take them.  </p>
<p>The trouble with this system is that too many people have bad habits about using the days off.  They get used to taking off whenever they feel like it.  Before they know it, all their days off are gone.  Then, when they really have an emergency or illness, they have to miss work without pay.  In the meantime, their workload is being handled by someone else.  </p>
<p>People often have bad habits in the workplace when it comes to paperwork.  They do not do proper accounting on their expense reports.  They do not keep the receipts that are needed by their company.  They fail to keep mileage records on their company cars accurately.  This makes the company&#8217;s accounting department have to work harder.  </p>
<p>You can see that there&#8217;s practical value in learning more about Bad Habits. Can you think of ways to apply what&#8217;s been covered so far?</p>
<p>Many workers have an aversion to doing paperwork at all.  They have bad habits of not filling out jobsite reports as needed.  If they do special business reports as requested, they may have bad habits about not turning them in on time.  </p>
<p>Clean work spaces can help people get more work done.  However, many people have bad habits when it comes to keeping their desks and offices neat.  They may have a certain kind of organization if they have stacks of papers on their desks.  Yet, if their desk is full of half empty pop cans and crumpled up fast food bags, it cannot help anything.  </p>
<p>People often get into the bad habit of losing things.  They may lose important paperwork.  The paperwork may be critical contracts for a major deal the company is involved with.  If your bad habits take over, you can cost the company everything.  </p>
<p>People in other kinds of jobs can get into the habit of losing tools.  They do not pay enough attention when they lay down their tools.  When they get ready to clean up for the day, they have no recollection of where they put a particular tool, if they remember using it at all.  This is a bad habit that amounts to laziness in thinking.  </p>
<p>If you want to make an impression at work, get a grip on your bad habits.  The way you work will be a result of the habits you bring to the table.  It is the good habits that make you succeed.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article lists some simple, informative tips that will help you have a better experience with Search Engine Optimization.</p>
<p>When it comes to internet search engines the top two are without a doubt Google and Yahoo!.</p>
<p>Although the two a fierce competitors they share more common bonds then some people might realize. Both were created by students at Stanford University. Yahoo! was created in January of 1994 by two Stanford graduate students Jerry Yang and David Filo. The pair originally called Yahoo! &#8220;Jerry&#8217;s guide to the World Wide Web&#8221; but later changed the name to Yahoo!, commemorating the word the Jonathan Swift defined in his classic novel Gulliver&#8217;s Travels. In the book Swift stated that the word was &#8220;rude, unsophisticated, uncouth.&#8221; Four years after Yang and Filo had created Yahoo! and introduced it to the world (at this time it was a internet mogul) two different Stanford University students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, created their own search engine, Google, as a research project, the date was September seventh 1998. Google started out as the search engine used on Stanford University&#8217;s website before it went public on August 19, 2004. When 2006 ended Google was the leading internet search engine, it enjoyed over 50.8% of the market.</p>
<p>By the time it was a year old Yahoo! had had over a million hits, the sheer number of people who had found  and were using Yahoo! prompted it creators to incorporated their creation in May of 1995. Yahoo! went public on April 12 1996 were it earned a total of 2.6 million dollars.</p>
<p>Google&#8217;s progress was a little slower then Yahoo!s. Shortly after creating Google, Page and Brin registered it as the domain google.com on September 17, 1997 on Stanford University&#8217;s website. Approximately one year after registering Google on Stanford University&#8217;s website the pair decided to incorporate their research project. Finally, on August 19, 2004, Google had its very first public offering. Google is currently the favorite internet search engine.</p>
<p>After its meteoritic climb to glory Yahoo!&#8217;s creators and shareholders were confident that they were holding onto a gold mine. They didn&#8217;t predict the burst of the dot.com bubble in the early two thousands. Yahoo! survived the crisis but the value of Yahoo! stocks dropped to $8.11, an all time low.</p>
<p>Think about what you&#8217;ve read so far. Does it reinforce what you already know about Search Engine Optimization? Or was there something completely new? What about the remaining paragraphs? </p>
<p>Yahoo! uses a combination of web crawler compiled and indexed results to rank the websites and webpage are registered on their search engine. In addition to rankings compiled by the web crawler, webmasters can, for a fee, purchase a submission to Yahoo!&#8217;s human compiled directory. The annual yearly fee is about three hundred dollars. The theory is that the listing human&#8217;s provide will influence web crawlers into giving the website a higher ranking.</p>
<p>Google credits its success and popularity to the program it uses to search and rank webpage&#8217;s, a program it calls PageRank. Because Google is worried about webmasters using abusive techniques to garner higher rankings for their search engines Google carefully keeps the hows and whys of PageRank a closely guarded secret. Google does confess that PageRank runs on a link analysis algorithm. PageRank was different from all the rest of the search engine optimization techniques because it graded each page based on the number of and quality of the links that pointed to it.</p>
<p>Yahoo! quickly grew fond of offering the webmasters that subscribed to its search engine the opportunity to purchase something called paid inclusion. In exchange for a fee, Yahoo! guaranteed that the webpage&#8217;s would be ranked. What Yahoo! didn&#8217;t guarantee was what type of ranking the webpage&#8217;s would receive; they refused to promise that the webpage&#8217;s would appear in the first two pages of a search.</p>
<p>Google uses a pay-per-click method to charge advertisers. Each time an advertisers link is clicked Google charges the account fifty cents.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that the topic of Search Engine Optimization can be fascinating. If you still have unanswered questions about Search Engine Optimization, you may find what you&#8217;re looking for in the next article.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having bad habits in social situations can make you a very unpopular person.  You may not even know how others feel about your social blunders.  However, if you are acting in ways that are not considered appropriate, people will notice.  </p>
<p>Many bad habits can be noticed when people go out to a restaurant together.  It can be a very unpleasant experience if people have certain bad habits.  For instance, chewing with an open mouth can be disgusting to the person watching.  When a person does this, it is a thoughtless gesture.  </p>
<p>Some people have the bad habits of eating other peoples&#8217; food.  They will just reach over and take a bite of something on their neighbor&#8217;s plate.  They do not consider the fact that the person might want to be asked first.  They do not take into account that the person might find it repulsive to share food with someone who has already used their fork.  </p>
<p>Loudness in a restaurant is a bad habit that is sometimes appropriate and sometimes is not.  In some settings, loudness is the order of the day.  In quiet restaurants, though, a person needs to leave the volume turned to a low level.  They need to try to fit in with the ambience of the restaurant.  </p>
<p>Have you ever heard someone belch, and then say &#8220;not bad manners, just good food&#8221;?  Well, it is bad manners, and bad habits, too.  Nobody wants to hear that, and it is not excused by an attempt at humor.  Some people seem to do this every time they feel the urge without thought to how others feel.  </p>
<p>If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Bad Habits story from informed sources.</p>
<p>One of the sickening bad habits people have at restaurants is blowing their noses in a cloth napkin.  It is not appropriate to blow their nose at the table in the first place.  When they use a cloth napkin, the waiter cannot just throw it away.  It has to be handled in order to be washed and reused.  It is an inconsiderate bad habit.</p>
<p>Some parents have bad habits when it comes to their children&#8217;s public behavior.  Some will let their children run through the restaurant doing as they please.  They will not say a word when their children misbehave.  This can spoil an otherwise nice evening.  </p>
<p>Other parents are so harsh and critical with their children that it also destroys any chance of anyone having a good time.  These are bad habits just as letting the kids be destructive are.  Ideally, parents can find a middle ground.  </p>
<p>There are also bad habits that affect the way people feel about themselves.  If you are a know-it-all, a person might feel inferior to you at first.  Eventually, though, it will get old and they will resent you.  If you are tactless, you can hurt peoples&#8217; feelings without thinking.  You do it just because you are in the habit of &#8220;telling the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are bad habits that affect the way you communicate with others in the social setting.  Monopolizing the conversation may make you feel good, but others will feel unappreciated.  Interrupting can be a bad habit that prevents you from developing closeness with acquaintances.  </p>
<p>Correct your bad habits in social situations and you will find that people are friendlier with you.  You will see that good habits will get you much more good attention than bad habits.  </p>
<p>Knowing enough about Bad Habits to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you&#8217;ve just learned about Bad Habits, you should have nothing to worry about.</p>
