Using Google Adwords to Drive Traffic to your Website
How does Google Adwords work? Google is the largest search engine on the web receiving over 200 million queries each day through its various services. As Google is the most popular search engine today, webmasters are keen on having their websites achieve a higher ranking in the search engine results it provides. A high ranking can mean high traffic for that website. The search engine results page is also a great venue for advertisers to promote a product or service through ads and links. Consequently, Google launched its Adwords service, as a way for businesses to advertise products and services to a targeted audience. Google Adwords can guarantee instant traffic. In this service, Google displays relevant text based ads within its search engine results page termed as "Sponsored Links". Whenever a particular keyword is searched on, these relevant links appear in a separate section giving excellent exposure to the sites listed.
How do you use Google Adwords? First, you have to open an account with the Google Adwords Service. Then, you should indicate your target language and country. This is important because you would not want your products advertised in countries where your product or service cannot be sold. Afterwards, you should now create an ad group. This involves designing the ad, selecting keywords and determining maximum cost per click that you are willing to spend and defining bid amounts. The most important step in creating a successful Adwords campaign is selecting an effective title tag that will catch the attention of your target audience. The title tag, generally a short phrase, is the most important part of your Adwords campaign so make sure that it is attractive and catchy. You should describe the website clearly and accurately. The most effective advertising conveys a clear message to the target audience. With a clear message, you will be attracting qualified leads, which can eventually convert to sale. Thus, the importance of selecting the right keywords cannot be overemphasized.
There are keyword variations you can adapt to reach more prospects. Using these varieties, misspellings and derivatives can help increase the chance of your ads being served. Broad match is targeting keywords in a loosely defined manner. Here, the ads appear based on the keywords that have been queried by other users as opposed to exact match, which calls for the keyword to match the query exactly. Meanwhile, a keyword phrase set to phrase match will only appear when the exact phrase is searched on. A negative keyword is helpful in filtering unrelated pages.
After you have decided on what title tag to use in your ad, you must now define a budget in order to maximize exposure. Google Adwords recommend a daily budget for each campaign. However, you should determine a budget that is suitable and affordable. You should also determine the maximum cost per click. Google will offer a recommended cost per click, but you do not have to stick with this. Usually, a number one position is not ideal as it can also attract unwanted traffic and useless clicks. A number two position is more preferred as it can filter useless clicks and provide traffic with a higher conversion rate.
To conclude, Google Adwords is an excellent strategy and tool in giving your site maximum exposure. Nevertheless, Google Adwords should not be your sole advertising campaign. It will definitely help you find the all-important, highly targeted traffic you need.

Alternative Energy Development in Japan
The Japanese know that they cannot become subservient to the energy supply dictates of foreign nations—World War II taught them that, as the US decimated their oil supply lines and crippled their military machine. They need to produce energy of their own, and they being an isolated island nation with few natural resources that are conducive to energy production as it is defined now are very open to foreign investment and foreign development as well as the prospect of technological innovation that can make them independent. Allowing corporations such as Vestas to get the nation running on more wind-produced energy is a step in the right direction for the Japanese people.
The production of energy through what is known as microhydoelectric power plants has also been catching on in Japan. Japan has a myriad rivers and mountain streams, and these are ideally suited places for the putting up of microhydroelectric power plants, which are defined by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization as power plants run by water which have a maximum output of 100 kilowatts or less. By comparison, “minihydroelectric” power plants can put out up to 1000 kilowatts of electrical energy.
In Japan, the small-scaled mini- and micro-hydroelectric power plants have been regarded for a considerable time as being suitable for creating electricity in mountainous regions, but they have through refinement come to be regarded as excellent for Japanese cities as well. Kawasaki City Waterworks, Japan Natural Energy Company, and Tokyo Electric Power Company have all been involved in the development of small-scale hydroelectric power plants within Japanese cities.

Five Simple Rules to be Happy
1. Free your heart from hated.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears,
and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road humps,
they slow you down a bit
but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the humps too long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
just sit tight and be happy,
because God is thinking of something better to give you.
When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means
....
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more
or not to cry too hard.
You can't make someone love you,
all you can do is be someone who can be loved,
the rest is up to the person to realise your worth.
The measure of love is when you love without measure.
Ukuran cinta adalah saat kau mencintai tanpa batas.
In life there are very rare chances
that you'll meet the person you love and loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go,
the chance might never come your way again.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend too much time looking for the right person to love
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
When you truly care for someone,
you don't look for faults,
you don't look for answers,
you don't look for mistakes.
Instead,
you fight the mistakes,
you accept the faults,
and you overlook the excuses.
Never abandon an old friend.
You will never find one who can take his place.
Jangan pernah meninggalkan rekan lama.
Kau tidak akan pernah men-dapat penggantinya.
Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
so just keep these five simple rules to be happy..

Belajar dari Imam Ghazali
Pertama,"Apa yang paling dekat dengan diri kita di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya ada yang menjawab orang tua, guru, teman,dan kerabatnya. Imam Ghozali menjelaskan semua jawaban itu benar. tetapi yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah "MATI". Sebab itu sudah janji Allah SWT bahwa setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati. (Ali Imran 185)
Pertanyaan kedua "Apa yang paling jauh dari diri kita di dunia ini?".
Murid -muridnya ada yang menjawab negara Cina, bulan, matahari, dan bintang-bintang.
Lalu Imam Ghozali menjelaskan bahwa semua jawaban yang mereka berikan adalah benar. Tapi yang paling benar adalah MASA LALU. Bagaimanapun kita, apapun kendaraan kita, tetap kita tidak bisa kembali ke masa lalu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama.
Pertanyaan yang ke tiga. "Apa yang paling besar di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya ada yang menjawah gunung, bumi,dan matahari. Semua jawaban itu benar kata Imam Ghozali. Tapi yang paling besar dari yang ada di dunia ini adalah "NAFSU" (Al
A'Raf 179). Maka kita harus hati-hati dengan nafsu kita, jangan sampai nafsu membawa kita ke neraka.
Pertanyaan ke empat adalah, "Apa yang paling berat di dunia ini?".
Ada yang menjawab baja, besi, dan gajah. Semua jawaban itu benar, kata Imam Ghozali. Tapi yang paling berat adalah "memegang AMANAH" (Al Ahzab 72). Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, gunung, dan malaikat semua tidak mampu ketika Allah SWT meminta mereka untuk menjadi kalifah (pemimpin) di dunia ini.Tetapi manusia dengan sombongnya menyanggupi permintaan Allah SWT,sehingga banyak dari manusia masuk ke neraka karena ia tidak bisa memegang amanahnya.
Pertanyaan yang ke lima adalah, "Apa yang paling ringan di dunia ini?".
Ada yang menjawab kapas, angin, debu, dan daun-daunan. Semua itu benar kata Imam Ghozali. Tapi yang paling ringan di dunia ini adalah MENINGGALKAN SHOLAT. Gara-gara pekerjaan kita tinggalkan sholat, gara-gara meeting kita tinggalkan sholat.
Lantas pertanyaan ke enam adalah, "Apakah yang paling tajam di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya menjawab dengan serentak, pedang... Benar kata Imam Ghozali. Tapi yang paling tajam adalah "LIDAH MANUSIA". Karena melalui lidah, Manusia dengan gampangnya menyakiti hati dan
melukai perasaan saudaranya sendiri.

Fakta-Fakta Seputar Sperma
Sudah jadi rahasia umum jika tugas sperma adalah membuahi sel telur, namun tak banyak yang tahu di balik 'rutinitasnya' itu ada fakta lain yang perlu Anda tahu tentang sperma. Beberapa penelitian membuktikan:
Sperma bisa menyebabkan alergi
Sebuah studi yang digelar Universitas Cincinanti College of Medicine yang melibatkan beberapa responden wanita menyebutkan sperma bisa membuat kulit iritasi, panas, memerah dan menyebabkan alergi.
Sperma hasil bercinta lebih OK
Kelompok peneliti dari University of Kentucky, Lexington membandingkan kualitas air mani yang keluar saat bercinta dan saat masturbasi. Dari riset ini disebutkan sperma hasil ejalukasi hubungan intim memiliki motility (daya gerak sperma meraih indung telur) dan rangsangan yang lebih baik ketimbang sperma yang keluar saat masturbasi. Dalam hal ini foreplay juga turut berperan, karena pemanasan dengan berbagai variasi mampu meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas sperma.
Sperma butuh 'ruang' lebih luas
Semakin banyak air mani maka akan makin banyak pula sperma yang terkandung di dalamnya. Tahukah Anda, saat pria mengeluarkan 100 juta sperma per milimeter cairan maninya, anjing dan tikus justru memproduksi sebanyak 1 miliar sperma. Sepertinya kaum pria harus mengeluarkan sebanyak 0,5 Kg air mani untuk mendapatkan sperma yang dimiliki anjing dan tikus.
Sperma menyembur lebih kuat saat orgasme pertama
Dalam bukunya Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Aks, Dr. Reuben menulis alasan kenapa saat orgasme pertama pria cenderung menyemburkan sperma lebih kuat dan lebih banyak. Reuben menyebutkan hal tersebut tergantung dari jumlah air mani yang ada pada Mr. P, kantung air mani dan kelenjar prostat.
Selain juga disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor, misalnya kualitas dan kuantitas rangsangan fisik yang diterima pria atau kondisi fisik dan mood si pria. Apakah sedang mabuk, lelah atau stres? Namun dari semua itu Reuben mengatakan sebenarnya otaklah yang mampu mengendalikan keadaan fisik dan mental. So, organ seks yang paling tangguh, ya Otak Anda!

Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma the medical name for cancer of the lung or the abdomen lining, and is usually caused by exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos is a type of building material used in thermal insulation products and ceiling tiles. Asbestos usage peaked during the 1950s - 1970s, but during the late 1960s, concerns over the health consequences of asbestos exposure began to arise, thereby decreasing the amount of asbestos manufactured over the following two decades. But even though new measures where brought in to get rid of it, many schools and public buildings still contain asbestos.
Small asbestos fibers that enter the air do not evaporate and can remain suspended in the air for a long time. These fibers, when breathed into the body, are toxic. The people most at risk are :-
People working in factories that manufacture asbestos are likely to have a high exposure to asbestos and are most at risk of developing asbestosis or mesothelioma.
Family members of workers exposed to asbestos in the workplace are susceptible to exposure from asbestos dust brought home by the worker on his clothes or skin.
Those who live in the vicinity of an asbestos manufacturing plant are also at risk.
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until between twenty and fifty years after exposure, which explains why so many new cases of this form of cancer are coming to light now. Many people who haven't been in contact with asbestos for
decades, are now showing symptoms of this dreadful desease.
As with many forms of cancer, mesothelioma can spread rapidly. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, loss of weight, and chest pains. If it is diagnosed early enough, the tumor can be surgically removed, and with chemotherapy and radiation treatment, a full recovery is often possible.
However, in more advanced cases, cure is usually not possible. In such cases, chemotherapy and radiation treatment can be used alongside other pain relief treatments, to ease the symptoms. Where cure is not possible, the average survival time is between four and eighteen months, depending on the stage of the tumor and the general health of the patient.
I was prompted to write about mesothelioma because as a child I lived near a factory which produced asbestos, and I personally know families who have suffered due to this terrible desease.

Mesothelioma - Is Cancer Hibernating in You?
Imagine a disease that lays eggs inside your lungs. These eggs do not produce discomfort or coughing, they don't cause outbreaks or rashes or anything of the sort. In fact these eggs don't do anything except sit in your lungs and germinate for 30 to 40 years. After this time you begin to have a slight cough, a fever, maybe some cold sweats. You write it off as the flu and continue as usual until it goes away. 3 weeks later the flu is back but this time you're coughing up blood. You visit your doctor and hope he can prescribe something to kick this crazy flu. Your doctor runs a few tests and sends you home. A week later your brought into his office and he lays the devastating news on you...you have Mesothelioma a cancer of the lungs.
This is the reality for roughly 2000 men and women residing here in the United States every year. These are people who often time have lead healthy lives. In the article, "Mesothelioma Victims - Survival Stories" Kathleen writes:
"At 42, I never thought that I would be facing a terminal illness, especially one relating to the lungs. I've never smoked and have lead a relatively healthy life. I have two beautiful daughters who will be heading to college soon - and I may not be alive to see their graduation."
The primary cause of mesothelioma cancer is linked to exposure to asbestos fibers which are breathed into the lungs or swallowed. Asbestos is a material that was used heavily for many years in hundreds of products. Asbestos was primarily used due to the fact that it is strong, resists fire and corrosion, and has very effective properties for insulation.
In modern day, asbestos has many uses such as thermal pipe and boiler insulation, floor coverings, ceiling tiles, spray-applied fire proofing and sound proofing, roofing materials and "transite" pipe and sheeting. Though major public use was discontinued in the late 70s, asbestos continues to be a material used in countries outside of the U.S., and due to the fact that we trade for many of these countries goods it is necessary that we educate ourselves as to the materials used in production of the products and items we use daily.
Many more cases of mesothelioma, due to asbestos exposure, are beginning to surface today. First, because our understanding and ability to recognize the disease has increased by leaps and bounds over the years, and second, because this particular cancer lays dormant within the carriers system for 30 to 40 years. With the widespread use of asbestos during the 20th century we are starting to see the consequences of exposure to this toxic material.
Due to the fact that asbestos was in heavy concentration in the industrial and building trades during the mid 1900s, most carriers of mesothelioma cancer are men who where working around asbestos during that time. However, mesothelioma has been reported not only in cases of direct exposure, but also indirect, such as the families of these men, as they often returned home with asbestos fibers on their clothing. Even in today's day and age where asbestos has been all but removed from our lives, it is still possible to be diagnosed with mesothelioma as cases of this cancer have been diagnosed without the presence of asbestos exposure.
It is also important to note that smokers who have been exposed to asbestos carry a far greater risk of mesothelioma. Some figures suggest as much as 3 times the percentage of a non-smoker with the same level of exposure. If you feel that you have been exposed to asbestos set an appointment with your physician to go over your chances of mesothelioma developing. The best thing a mesothelioma patient can do is to detect the presence of this disease early on, as it will increase your chances considerably.

What Is Mesothelioma?
By Angela Cambourn
Mesothelioma the medical name for cancer of the pleura (the lining of the lung and chest cavity) or cancer of the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen). It is usually caused by prolonged or persistent exposure to asbestos.
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until between twenty and fifty years after exposure, which explains why so many new cases of this form of cancer are coming to light now, even though the dangers of asbestos were realized long ago and measures taken to reduce the risk of the disease.
As with many forms of cancer, the mesothelioma tumor can spread rapidly, often infecting the opposite pleura, and continuing on to other internal organs. Symptoms include a shortness of breath, chest pains, coughing, and loss of weight.
Testing can be carried out initially by X-Ray, with a Thoric CT and open lung biopsy being used to confirm the findings of the early tests. If it is diagnosed early enough, the tumor can be surgically removed, and with follow-up chemotherapy and radiation treatment, full recovery is often possible.
However, in more advanced cases, cure is usually not possible. In such cases, chemotherapy and radiation treatment can be used alongside other pain relief treatments, to ease the symptoms. Where cure is not possible, the average survival time is between four and eighteen months, depending on the stage of the tumor and the general health of the patient.

Baby Crying 101
A baby cries the most during his or her first three months. Though the amount of crying steadily increase, the crying time period may vary from an hour to most of the day and this could still be considered within normal range. Like, whoah, right? Babies are also known as howling tear factories.
Some thought that a baby cries more during the afternoon accounting it to the anxiousness of the mother or the stressed mood of the father after going home from work. But the most accepted assumption now is that babies have this automatic screening ability they use to shut off all the noise that may stimulate some response from them so they could get enough rest. But in the long run, this filter weakens and totally disappears during the approximate age of six weeks. This, then, make a baby very sensitive to the external factors such as noise, movements, etc. And these generally elicit a reaction from a baby and how best could he or she respond but only through crying.
There are many reasons why a baby succumbs to crying. Deciphering these reasons is the major feat a parent must surmount. Here are some of the things your sweetsome baby is making you understand through crying.
Hunger. Yes, your attention-hungry baby is craving to let you know that his tummy is grumbling. This is the most common reason for a baby to cry, especially, during his early months. The pattern of the hunger howl could be characterized as being persistent, demanding and almost rhythmical. But that rhythm is not at any rate close to becoming musical, of course.
Boredom. What can I say? Aren't these babies just plain spoiled? Crying because of boredom, errr, I'd find that a bit more twisted or weird if it's with an adult that is. But babies are really built like this. Crying is their way of telling you, "Hey get me a life here!" Aside from attention and food, consequently, babies need a lot of stimulation. And when they don't get this, there you get your waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!! The trick is to pick the baby up and play with him. This move may be frowned upon by some because of its amounting to spoiling the baby. But it is important to know that stimulation is also one of the major necessities of an infant and it won't hurt to provide him with some while in his growing age. This boredom cry is said to be also rhythmical and full of sobs and moans.
Discomfort. Pain is another precursor of the baby's crying. Who won't cry when in pain, right? Babies are not Major Paynes to endure the most excruciating discomfort they could undergo. They are little, vulnerable beings that need to be attended to when injured or when in an inconvenient situation. This cry could be more persistent, louder and more demanding. Shrieking and screaming, those are words that better describe the crying pattern roused by pain.
Another cause may be disturbance; surely, howling will proceed just when they're about to sleep or are already fast asleep and suddenly gets surprised by some noise, or movement. An illness that causes discomfort to a baby may also be the reason for a baby's bursting into fit of tears.
