Resilience Book Review

Posted: 29 May 2009 02:59 PM PDT

I have just finished "Resilience" by Elizabeth Edwards and wanted to express a few thoughts on this book as I believe it is appropriate to this blog. This book was outside of what I would normally read but I had picked up a copy due to it being number one on the New York Times Best Sellers List for nonfiction at the time of this writing. My initial expectation was that this would be a biographical type of work centered around the challenges of the life of Elizabeth Edwards and her support

Once the world problems, like the economy of (name your country here), and the threat of nuclear war from the glorious leader of North Korea are out of the way, it allows time to settle in on the same problems that were there before the disaster. First, it was the problems of the government of New Zealand , and their refusal to buy inflated price software in a shrinking market, and next it was the apparent loss of reason by a well-respected Taiwanese manufacturer , thinking that Windows

Tips For Article Writing Made Easy

Posted: 29 May 2009 11:10 AM PDT

Article writing for beginners may be too much of a task to accomplish. Those who are rather new to writing may feel dread, especially when they are faced with articles of considerable length. Even at school or at work, creating an article such as a speech, or perhaps an essay or a reaction to a specific topic, composers of such literature would sometimes find themselves in a state of non productivity. Nevertheless, one should not fear writing up stuff, even the topics may be quite hard to comprehend as there are some tips to follow to make life a little bit easier. Below are somearticle writing tips that would be very effective if you follow it.

Choose a specific keyword

More often than not, the very first thing one should do is to think of the main topic. It may be a single word or a concept. It may be a general topic or a specific one. What ever the topic is, one should associate a keyword or keyphrase for it. Since internet search engines find related hits in their database based on certain tags and word occurrences as articles get published, finding a usual and common term as a related keyword may be best. Using the keyword or keyphrase in an average of once per one hundred words would suffice as a decent ratio that would not look like a spam.

Create appropriate subpoints

Having these subtitles would help the writer chop up sub aspects off of a given topic. This eases the burden of having the writer create a chunk of information which may lose coherence among each sentence in it. Subpoints would serve as a good means for trying to expand the topic on different angles.

Publish attention grabbing titles related to the main topic

Casual Internet surfers would have a focus allocation for about an article of 300 to 500 words. Any shorter and the thought of the article may not be thoroughly explained. Too long and the reader may lose interest. A good practice is to make it into 100 word paragraphs with subheaders and the most important being the title. The title is the main tag line for search engines to look for appropriate tags. It should be in the title that the keyword is mentioned first because search engines prioritize titles. Of course it should also be a catchy title to attract initial attention of the reader.

Article writing is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable experience if given the right means and tips to make things a lot easier. These article writing tips will surely help you along the way.

The Importance of Article Marketing with SEO

Posted: 29 May 2009 06:40 AM PDT

How Article Marketing Help SEO

The rapid increase in the search engine optimization focus in creating articles have paved the way for a new trend in marketing, and of course increasing potential revenue brought about by sponsorships from advertisers. With a properly written article which has a good topic and an appropriately popular idea, there is the chance that the writeup may pick up a lot of Internet traffic, which produces the much needed revenue.

However there is the question of how article marketing helps SEO optimization. One answer to such question is that the marketing aspect greatly increases the network of potential readers and marketability. Instead of having one's published article be visited on a single Webpage, having online article marketers create uplinks to other Websites greatly widens the means of having the article made accessible. It is like having a free advertisement on other Websites that such an article exists in your web page.

On a similar note, the reverse access to your article through a backlink to your page serves the same purpose. The internet traffic coming into your Webpage would be registered as a valid visit, and may therefore increase the article's rank as being a popular Website, therefore exponentially icreasing the whole network of potential readers.

As the article becomes more and more popular among readers, those who would want to have a part of your work and endorse it may also create even more links out of your Website and into their own. This way, you get to help others as other also get to help you in terms of Internet access and traffic.

All these would help make the certain topic or keyword stand out among other similar tags. Optimization in this manner would be in the form of having that topic become quite distinguished and known. Since the topic tagged in the articles supporting it would also contribute to it being a standout during search queries, writers of that certain idea with the same keywords benefit by ultimately having their works or articles increase in search engine ranks.

“None of these” is plural

Posted: 28 May 2009 05:22 PM PDT

Grammarians, grammar geeks, linguists, and editors need a little excitement now and then. We need something to fight about. After all, we’re preserving the civilized world by helping people understand one another, right? A good argument keeps our pencils sharpened and our brains active.

One favorite topic about which we fight is the use of the word “none.” Specifically, is it singular or plural? Does it require a singular or plural verb?

Which of these is correct?
“None of the students is absent.”
“None of the students are absent.”

You might have a preference based on what sounds most familiar to you, but that is a risky way to determine what is correct.

The first camp (singular):
Some argue that “none,” which derives from the term “not one,” must be singular always. This would make the first sentence correct. After all, the subject of the sentence is “none,” followed by the prepositional phrase “of the students.” “Students” is the object of the preposition “of.” Because “none,” meaning “not one,” is the subject, then we need the singular verb “is.”

The second camp (either):
Others argue that “none” is singular or plural depending on what it refers to. For example, in the two above sentences, “none” refers to “students.” We call “students” the referent. Because “none” refers to a plural noun, it is plural, and we need the plural verb “are.” This is similar to finding the antecedent of a pronoun. The pronoun must be singular or plural depending on the word to which it refers.

My side of this argument:
I’m a recent convert to the second camp. I made the switch because 1) this argument makes sense, and 2) “none” has been used this way for centuries.

On some issues, such as “which” vs. “that,” I am a prescriptive grammarian. Regardless of how people (mis)use these words, I stick to the rule. The difference between “that” and “which” is an issue of understanding. These two words communicate different meanings.

On this issue, however, I believe I can safely follow usage patterns and not the “rules.” It doesn’t affect the meaning, which is my most important concern. With this in mind, here’s my advice.

1. Find the word/words to which “none” refers, i.e., the referent.
2. Determine if the referent is singular or plural.
3. Use a singular or plural verb depending on the referent.

Try these:
A. “None of the furniture is/are clean.”
B. “He discovered that none of the drivers know/knows the direction.”
C. “Have you seen my socks? None is/are where I put it/them.”
D. “None sparkle/sparkles.”

Answers:
A. is [The referent is "furniture," which is singular.]
B. know [The referent is "drivers," which is plural.]
C. are, them [The referent for "none" and the antecedent for "them" is socks, which is plural.]
D. unknown. [We need the referent to answer this one. For example, if we're writing about jewelry, we need the singular "sparkles." If we're writing about diamonds, we need the plural "sparkle."]
