ONE FLAW IN WOMEN

ONE FLAW IN WOMEN
*Author Unknown

By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate." The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!" "What's the tear for?" the angel asked. The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."

And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better
solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.They love unconditionally. They cry
when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no
strength left.They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love.They have compassion and ideals.They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Naomi Campbell Admits Guilt, Will Do Community Service

The 36-year-old supermodel pleaded guilty in the Manhattan Criminal Court. “During the morning of March 30, 2006, I threw a cellphone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Ana. That was an accident because I did not intend to hit her,” she told the judge. “I am advised that Ana was hurt, and I am sorry about that.”

What apparently ignited Naomi’s anger was her employee’s carelessness - Ana Scolavino had lost a pair of designer jeans that Naomi wanted to wear on Oprah Winfrey’s show. Her attack on Ana caused her employer some serious injuries, as she required four stitches in her head.

Judge Robert Mandelbaum has asked that the supermodel spend two days in an anger management program and pay $363.32 (£185) to reimburse medical expenses incurred by Ms Scolavino.

The judge was kind in recommending that Naomi serve her sentence indoors. This will prevent embarrassment similar to that suffered by singer Boy George, who swept the streets in order to settle drug charges in New York – and was accompanied by the media while doing it.

The whole hubbub started in March 2006, when Naomi was arrested for hitting her personal assistant with a cell phone in the head. Ana Scolavino has claimed that Naomi hit her in the back of the head with a jewel-encrusted cell phone in her Manhattan apartment, causing an injury that required stitches.

The supermodel was charged with second-degree assault, which usually results in a sentence of 1 to 7 years of prison. Because Naomi was absent from the court room in September 2006, the judge ruled that her next absence would ensue imprisonment.

In October Naomi was once again arrested, this time in London, on suspicion of assault, but she was released on police bail.

When she appeared in court in December, her lawyer, David Breitbart, stated that his client was hoping for an agreement to carry out community service, but with one condition: no company from the media while busy at work. He added: "She believes God is on her side and is going to take care of her."

The British supermodel has antecedents with physical assault against employees. In 2000, she pleaded guilty in a Toronto court to a 1998 assault on Georgina Galanis, her then assistant. The supermodel had struck her assistant with a telephone in a hotel room and threatened to throw her out of a moving car.

In 2005, she allegedly slapped assistant Amanda Brack and repeatedly hit her head with a BlackBerry handheld personal organizer. Another documented case is that of Italian actress Yvonne Scio, who has claimed, “She punched me in the face. She was like Mike Tyson.”

Naomi has been quoted by the Daily Mail, confessing how difficult it has been to have the spotlight on her allegedly short temper: “It's been really a tough year in terms of accusations and stuff like that. It's been very hurtful and blown out of proportion.”

"I've had to learn from my mistakes but I don't harbor grudges. I'm a human like everybody else. I just want to have my health every day and my family's health.”

It remains to be seen how Naomi will deal with her recent punishment. ===========================
Shannon's Editorial

Employers don't get to brutalize their employees, publicly or domestically.
Maybe Naomi and other spoiled stars will realize that just because someone is on their payroll, it doesn't mean that someone is their property to use and abuse as the star sees fit.

SEO Algorythms

With moderate search engine optimization knowledge, some common sense, and a resourceful and imaginative mind, one can keep his or her web site in good standing with search engines even through the most significant algorithm changes. The recent Google update of October/November 2005, dubbed "Jagger", is what inspired me to write this, as I saw some web sites that previously ranked in the top 20 results for extremely competitive keywords suddenly drop down to the 70th page. Yes, the ebb and flow of search engine rankings is nothing to write home about, but when a web site doesn't regain many ranking spots after such a drop it can tell us that the SEO done on the site may have had some long-term flaws. In this case, the SEO team had not done a good job predicting the direction a search engine would take with its algorithm.

Impossible to predict, you say? Not quite. The ideas behind Google's algorithm come from the minds of fellow humans, not supercomputers. I'm not suggesting that it's easy to "crack the code" so to speak because the actual math behind it is extremely complicated. However, it is possible to understand the general direction that a search engine algorithm will take by keeping in mind that any component of SEO which is possible to manipulate to an abnormal extent will eventually be weighted less and finally rendered obsolete.

One of the first such areas of a web site that started to get abused by webmasters trying to raise their rankings was the keywords meta tag. The tag allows a webmaster to list the web site's most important keywords so the search engine knows when to display that site as a result for a matching search. It was only a matter of time until people started stuffing the tag with irrelevant words that were searched for more frequently than relevant words in an attempt to fool the algorithm. And they did fool it, but not for long. The keywords meta tag was identified as an area that was too susceptible to misuse and was subsequently de-valued to the point where the Google algorithm today doesn't even recognize it when scanning a web page.

Another early tactic which is all but obsolete is repeating keywords at the bottom of a web page and hiding them by changing the color of the text to match the background color. Search engines noticed that this text was not relevant to the visitor and red-flagged sites that employed this method of SEO.

This information is quite basic, but the idea behind the aforementioned algorithm shifts several years ago is still relevant today. With the Jagger update in full swing, people in the SEO world are taking notice that reciprocal links may very well be going the way of the keywords meta tag. (i.e. extinct) Webmasters across the world have long been obsessed with link exchanges and many profitable web sites exist offering services that help webmasters swap links with ease. But with a little foresight, one can see that link trading has its days numbered, as web sites have obtained thousands of incoming links from webmasters who may have nevër even viewed the web site they are trading with. In other words, web site popularity is being manipulated by excessively and unnaturally using an SEO method.

So with keyword meta tags, keyword stuffing within content, and nöw link exchanges simply a part of SEO history, what will be targeted in the future? Well, let's start with what search engines currently look at when ranking a web site and go from there:

On-page Textual Content
In the future, look for search engines to utilize ontological analysis of text. In other words, not only your main keywords will play a factor in your rankings, but also words that relate to them. For example, someone trying to sell NFL jerseys online would naturally mention the names of teams and star players. In the past, algorithms might have skipped over those names, deemed them irrelevant to a search for "NFL jerseys." But in the future, search engines will reward those web sites with a higher ranking than those that excessively repeat just "NFL jerseys." With ontological analysis, web sites that speak of not only the main keywords but other relevant words can expect higher rankings.

The Conclusion:
Write your web site content for your visitors, not search engines. The more naturally written sites can expect to see better results in the future.

Offering Large Amounts of Content
This can frequently take the form of dynamic pages. Even now, search engines can have a difficult time with dynamic content on web sites. These pages usually have lengthy URLs consisting of numbers and characters such as &, =, and ? The common problem is that the content changes so frequently on these dynamic pages that the page becomes "old" in the search engine's database, thus leaving searchers seeing results that contain old information. Since many dynamic pages are created by web sites displaying hundreds or thousands of products they sell, and the number of people selling items on the Internet will obviously increase in the coming years, you can expect that search engines will improve their technology and do a better job indexing dynamic content in the future.

Over the years, many web sites reached top spot for competitive keywords by flexing their financial muscle and buying thousands of text links pointing to their site with keywords in the anchor text. Usually these links would appear like advertisements along sidebars or navigation areas of web sites. Essentially this was an indirect way of paying for high Google rankings, something which Google is no doubt trying to combat with each passing algorithm update. One idea of thought is that different areas of a web page from a visual point of view will be weighted differently. For example, if a web site adds a link to your site within the middle of their page text, that link should count for more than one at the bottom of the site near the copyright information.

This brings up the value of content distribution. By writing articles, giving away free resources, or offering something else of value to people, you can create a significant amount of content on other web sites that will include a link back to your own.

The Conclusion:
It all starts with useful content. If you are providing your web site visitors with useful information, chances are many other sites will want to do the same. SEO doesn't start with trying to cheat the algorithm; it starts with an understanding of what search engines look for in a quality web site.
