If you’ve ever used the facilities at Phoenix Airport parking you’ll know that it’s only a few miles away from the center of town.

One of the biggest mistakes I see presenters make during public speaking engagements has to do with the handling of question-and-answer sessions. The presenter does a good program, has a powerful close, opens the program up to questions, answers them well, and then fades off the stage into oblivion.

The lack of a second powerful close after the question and answer period could negate much of the impact that was created throughout the program. Make sure you have two good closes whenever there is a possibility of a Q & A session.

Trick: Purposely omit material that you know will evoke certain questions. When the questions come, give a preplanned answer that appears spontaneous. They’ll think you are a genius.

If you have ever posted articles to article directories (submission sites), then you know what a laborious task it is. There are so many differences between the submission sites, you can end up wanting to tear your hair out. So as a result, you end up doing like I was doing , only submitting to a very few sites.

So the net result is that you lost all the exposure you should have been getting from the other submission sites. What’s the big deal anyway, you say!

Perhaps you’re not fully aware of the enormous viral power of having your articles spread out all over the Net? Let me give just one quick example from my own experience.

In a period of only 6 months I posted 14 articles to only 8 submission sites. Other people then picked up my articles and are using them on their web sites and in their newsletters.

Of course my name is on all my articles, and aslo appears a few t imes on my www.bestaffiliateproducts.com web site, which today has over 260 pages of good content. I add new content regularly.

Now to see the effect all this is having in just 6 months, do a search on Google for “Fred Farah” (in quotes please). 6 months ago “Fred Farah” showed up only 200 times. Far from impressive, right? Right!

Well now, only 6 months later Google finds my name over 11,000 times, and Yahoo over 8,100. Are these pages all mine? I believe that 98 to 99% are me.

Am I telling you this to brag? No, not really (even though I’m very proud of it). The real purpose is to prove to you how truly powerful it is to post articles. And remember that I only used 8 submission sites.

Here’s the good news, actually great news.

After almost one year in the making, Article Submitter Pro launched Aug 23, 2005.

Easy to use, and almost fully automatic, this article submission software looks to perhaps be the most effective viral and time saving Article Tool on the market.

What makes this such an important announcement! Well it’s this..

Now that I’m using Article Submitter Pro, imagine how this is going to dramatically change the status of my recognition. Instead of 11,000 results on Google Search, it might be double or triple that number. By posting articles to dozens of sites, (I started with about 100) I should benefit immensely from the powerful viral effect it will have.

Enough said! If you need more proof check out the benefits listed on the web site. Read the testimonials too, and you can thank me later, after you get your name up “in lights”.

The United States with less than 5% of the world’s population consumes roughly 25% of the world’s energy. Some might argue that this is egregious, while others would say that it is simply a yardstick by which the world’s largest economy is measured. But for whatever the reason for our vast consumption of energy, the fact remains that in order to consume you first have to produce. And as most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels- which wouldn’t be too bad except that:

(1) burning vast amounts of fossil fuels in this county alone dumps millions of pounds of earth warming greenhouse gasses into, what appears, is a fragile atmosphere, every day. Just warming up the atmosphere a couple of degrees on average has significant impact. Look no further than last year’s hurricane season. The worst on record. And…

(2) let’s not forget its close cousin; smog pollution, which adds to respiratory problems and other health conditions, not to mention the visual blight hanging over our cities as well. In addition…

(3) have you filled your tank recently? Paid the heating bill? The cost of all fossil fuels, even coal has increased significantly. As other emerging economies such as China and India vie for ever more limited resources, all bets are that the costs will continue to climb over the long haul. Moreover…

(4) as we import most of our oil nowadays- we are increasingly held hostage to an unstable supply from a number of countries that we, for whatever reasons, are increasingly unpopular with. The end game? If our supply of oil is not first arbitrarily cut off, as it becomes increasingly scarce the price will rise until our growth is strangled. In either case we will feel impelled to engage in war with other rising powers to secure our supplies.

The bottom line: Fossil fuels are not only hazardous to our health (and the planet’s) but may in fact be hazardous to the American way of life.

But if energy is the lifeblood of our economy what are we to do? Wind? Solar? While anything we can do other than consume fossil fuels will help, these sources of energy are relatively diffuse and inconsistent. In other words, their “cost to calorie” ratios are not efficient and they are not always dependable. As James Kunstler points out in his intriguing book The Long Emergency, one of our best options out of these dilemmas is to do an “Apollo Project” type effort to develop additional, new nuclear energy capability. As it turns out, it just may be the greenest, viable alternate we have.

The U.S. currently produces about 20% of its electrical power from nuclear power. The advantages are; that there are no greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere, no visual pollution, it is cost relatively cost effective, quiet and we have sufficient supply of uranium here at home for the foreseeable future to provide for a major portion of our energy needs. Historically, at least, the problem with nuclear energy has been primarily two fold. First, the “China Syndrome” problem of a meltdown of a reactor which could release a large amount of radioactivity and second, what do we do with nuclear waste material that has a half-life of over 25,000 years! The perception of these two significant obstacles might doom a new nuclear drive and stand in the way of an energy-independent United States.

However, there are new technologies in this field that, like the cavalry, have come to our rescue- and none too soon. First, there is a new class of nuclear reactors that have their nuclear fuel so structured that they cannot do a melt down. Turn off the cooling to this new nuclear reactor and it only gets a bit hotter. No big deal. Turn the cooling back on and it runs more efficiently. Okay, one down. But what about all that radioactive spent reactor fuel? Let’s see if we can put some perspective on it. If you gathered all the spent nuclear fuel in this country under one roof it would fill a typical high school gym. Not too unmanageable. Moreover, the spent fuel is encapsulated in super strong glass beads, which in turn are embedded into hardened concrete inside steel drums. This makes the waste product “transportable” and is designed to withstand the elements for 10,000 years. Nevertheless, even in it’s tomb it is still relativity radioactive. Most of these drums are stored in water as radiation cannot penetrate more than about 3 feet of water. However, no one seems anxious to have it in their back yards. A political hot potato to be sure.

But while our politicians don’t have the answer, the earth does. The answer lies in the bottom of the Marianas Trench in the Pacific. It is the deepest place in the ocean (over seven miles) and one of the fastest moving subduction plates on earth. If the drums of waste were placed in the bottom of the trench, they would, within a few hundred years, be swallowed up into the bowels of the earth and blend into the earth’s core where heat and pressure (caused in part by radioactive substances contained within the earth) rendered insignificant.

Given the current geopolitical situation, which only seems to be working to our disadvantage, limited resources for cheap fossil fuels, not to mention the environmental impacts we are starting to experience, it is time we take drastic measures to get us off our fossil fuel addition. Let’s hope we are not too late.

According to figures released by Ofcom, around 55% of the British population is yet to accept broadband as an important part of their lives, while a shocking 40% live without any kind of Internet access whatsoever.

In a speech at the London School of Economics, Ed Richards, the Ofcom CEO, revealed that more than half of the Britons have absolutely no desire to avail of even the cheapest of broadband services. According to Richards, even aggressive marketing strategies informing people of the enormous benefits of getting a broadband Internet connection have not been able to persuade them. Even though the multiple benefits of broadband Internet such as online banking, catching up on missed TV shows, better communication etc. are pointed out to them, they continue to be disinterested. Click here for more info on cheap broadband choices.

The main difficulty lies in getting the low-income households to consider Internet access, says Richards. 30% of the 55% who wish not to avail of broadband services do so to avoid another monthly bill. Another 15% say that while they consider the expense for a broadband connection to be worth the charges, they do not have a personal computer to use it with. Given this scenario, persuading people to get a broadband Internet connection is clearly not an easy task.

In the course of his speech, Richards also mentioned the plans for a 2 Mbps connectivity that is being planned for rollout across the UK. He said that before venturing on such a huge infrastructure overhaul, it might be wiser to improve the basic internet services so that more households can get online.

Cross promoting is a powerful technique used by many Internet marketers to increase the exposure of their products, services or publications. You simply decide what type of promotional exchange you would be interested in and contact fellow marketers to discuss an exchange.

The most effective technique used in cross promotions is recommendations. By providing each other with a personal recommendation you can increase your response rates tremendously.

Here are some popular cross promoting techniques you can use to boost your business:

Link Exchanges

Exchange links with web sites similar to yours, but not in competition. Many Search Engines are now utilizing a new system that tracks and ranks sites according to the number of links pointing to a particular web site. By exchanging links with similar web sites, you will not only increase your Search Engine ranking, but you will also increase your web site traffic.

Ezine Ad Swaps

Exchange subscription ads with other ezine publishers. Ezine advertising is one of the best forms of advertising on the Internet. By swapping ads with fellow ezine publishers, you can run your ad in other publications free of charge.

Subscription Exchanges

Exchange subscription information with fellow ezine publishers. Provide recommendations within your ezine’s welcome message, thank you page and even on your multiple subscription ezine form.

Ezine Column Swaps

Partner with a similar publication and provide content for each other. This may be a weekly tips column, question and answer column or whatever you’d like.

Byline Exchanges

Write articles and allow them to be freely published. Exchange byline information with fellow writers and provide recommendations.

With each article you write you are entitled to include your author bylines. Bylines are nothing more than an advertisement for you, your web site, products or services.

Instead of including your standard bylines, use half of the space for yourself and the other half to promote the writer you’ve partnered with.

Signature Exchanges

A signature or SIG file is a few lines of information about your business at the bottom of any form of Internet communication. Exchange SIG file information with other marketers and provide recommendations.

Ebook Exchanges

Partner with fellow Internet marketers and create free ebooks to freely distribute. The ebook should mutually benefit and promote both of you while providing valuable information for your visitors.

Private Web Rings

Set up a private web ring and partner with web sites that are similar to yours, but not in competition. Provide recommendations for each site within your ring.

Ride Alongs

A ride along is any extra information (advertisements) sent along with a direct mailing. You can use this same technique with any ezine solo mailings you may run by including an exchange recommendation within your mailing. In addition, you can include recommendations within your thank you letters you send out when you deliver your products.

Upsells

An upsell is used when your customer is in the process of ordering your product. Another product is introduced for a small additional cost just as you’re closing the sale. This technique is used with many infomercials when the customer calls in their order. The operator will introduce an additional product for a minimal extra charge. You can use this same technique on your order page. Trade product recommendations with fellow marketers.

Free Bonus

Free bonuses are used as an incentive to increase sales. Provide and exchange bonuses with other marketers. This technique will not only increase your sales, but will also promote your products and services.

Forum and List Moderation

Trade forum or list moderation duties. Partner with similar web sites or lists and share in the moderation duties. Place short BIOS with links at the top of the forum or within each list post.

A quality recommendation will pull a much higher response rate than just a link or banner. Cross promote with individuals you truly respect and believe in, as your professional reputation is on the line.

Cross promotions provide Internet marketers with a powerful way to reach new potential customers. There is power in number, so get out there and start cross promoting!

Many people visit Chicago, Illinois every year to see the many interesting sights and sounds the city has to offer. The city has much to offer for tourists, including exciting landmarks like the Sears Tower, Buckingham Fountain, and Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. Nightlife is just as exciting as the day, with fabulous restaurants and clubs scattered along the Loop and Lake Michigan. However, for the gambler looking for some quick poker action, until just recently there was nothing around other than scratch tickets.

On August 8th 2008, the newest addition to Harrah’s casino lineup, the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana opened its doors. A short commute from Chicago, the Horseshoe offers many casino games – the closest thing to a Vegas experience in the middle of the Midwest. The casino is nothing short of breathtaking, and is head and shoulders above every other casino in the Midwest in every possible way. A plethora of table games and slots cover a massive main floor, and then a gorgeous Asian Gaming room houses games like Baccarat and Pai Gow, as well as an Asian dining area.

The poker room is nothing short of amazing, better than playing poker online. Housing 34 tables in a spacious, classy two story enclosure separated from the rest of the casino, the poker room is a formidable office for Midwest players as the Taj Mahal is known to be for Eastern players in the US. The Horseshoe Hammond spreads many games, from standard no limit hold’em to pot limit Omaha and stud games, as well as tournaments. Games run anywhere from 80 dollar buy in to the occasional 40 thousand dollar buy in blood game. They also have three Pokertek video poker electronic tables that require no chips, and have a game that progresses much faster than standard games, as they lack a dealer. The Horseshoe Hammond has much to offer if you are looking for a great place to play poker or any other game in the Chicago area.
