Make Your Invention Exclusive With a Provisional Patent

Have you just invented something unique and extremely useful? Are you really elated and desire to celebrate your hard work and exclusive invention? But before you organize a party for your friends and family members, you need to first apply for provisional patent.

Do you want to know the reasons why it is necessary? Then do read on.

When you invent something new and exclusive, you would definitely want it to be recognized in your name. You would surely want to win accolades and appreciation for the same. But, how will people know that it's your invention? Every item, equipment, device software or formula invented so far is known to all by the name of their inventor. Whether it's light, fan, computer, internet, tuberculosis drugs or a furniture design, the inventors are well known to all. The history books clearly mentions all the prominent inventors, their history and the path of their invention.

But, how do we know that certain people have invented the product and not any other person? It's because of the fact that they have patented their invention and now they have the exclusive right over their invention. No one has the right to mimic their invention. In the similar manner, when you invent something new, you should immediately get it patented so that no one copy your design or software and sell it in their name. So, you need to get patent application form through which you can start the procedure to get your exclusive design, software or design patented.

If you do not patent your invention and in the spur of the moment throw a party for your well wishes, you may never know when any guest which you have invited in the party starts planning something devious. You may recite about your invention and even show it to your guests to gain praises and share your happiness with them, but someone may copy it to gain their own end. They may then sell it to the best buyer immediately. In the matter of few days, you will realize that you have made the biggest mistake of your life. All your dreams of recognition in the society and prominent position in the history books will go in vain in few hours. So, never make this folly, instead apply for provisional patent, restrict anyone from copying your invention and be recognized all over for your exclusive and unique work!

ARkStorm - A 40 Day Atmospheric Flood Aimed Right at Southern California

Hard to believe 6 weeks of continuous rain, but that is what California scientists and first responders have to contend with in scenarios of possible catastrophes they face. Starting at the equator, roaming over the Pacific, affected by changes in El Nino and the global climate, an atmospheric river of moisture slams into the west coast with winds up to 125 miles per hour. Massive flooding, landslides, pollution, road damage, business interruption, housing destruction and social dislocation making Katrina look like a summer drizzle. Almost a trillion dollars of damage is estimated for a deluge that could turn Central Valley into a lake 300 miles long and 20 miles wide.

Think it can't happen? In 1862 in California a series of storms turned the Central Valley into a huge inland sea. Equivalent to possibly 50 Mississippi rivers, an atmospheric water flow lasting 45 days inundated the Central Valley, destroying the economy and forcing California into bankruptcy. Flooding was extensive in LA County, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay area and other coastal areas. Future repetitions are expected, and 10 feet (feet-not inches) of rain over a period of roughly 40 days is what emergency authorities are discovering they have to prepare for.

The ARkStorm (Atmospheric River 1000) is actually a computer model of a storm event that has impacted the western part of California numerous times in the last 2000 years and as recently as the aforementioned 1862. It is the brainchild of the US Geological survey, Multi Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP). The first public product of this survey was the Shakeout Earthquake Scenario published in May 2008. It resulted in the largest earthquake drill in US history, and depicted a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas Fault in southern California. Over five and a half million citizens and 5000 emergency responders got a chance to explore the consequences of such a devastating catastrophe. The intent of the ARkStorm project is to provide realistic information to the proper authorities to help them prepare for an even greater calamitous natural disaster.

Serious issues are raised about the ability of local and state disaster planning to handle a disaster of this magnitude. Whether to pay in advance to mitigate the effects of such a disaster or to pay a lot more to rehabilitate a ruined landscape and the dislocation of 1.5 million people after the fact are decisions which need to be faced. In the current time of fiscal distress, this is likely to be a problem shoved under the carpet for someone else to worry about. But hoping ARkstorm remains a hypothetical study and nothing more is irresponsible. The scientists have done their job. Now it is up to government-good luck!

How to Get "Super Strong" For Wrestling!

Wrestling is a sport that requires above average strength levels. In order to be a Champion, you need to keep the strength that you've built up in the off-season and keep it through a full season of dual meets, tournaments, and constant "cutting weight." This isn't easy to do... unless you know how to do it! The skills that you learn through countless hours of practice make or break you. The strength and conditioning allow you to perform the moves. Learn exactly how to get stronger for wrestling.

With all things equal, the STRONGER wrestler WINS every time!

The following tips will help you develop your wrestling strength and keep it throughout the season!

1. Drink Meal Replacement Shakes Meal replacement shakes were originally developed for cancer patients. They were consumed because they were pre-digested, and "nutrient dense." They are loaded with vitamins and minerals, high protein blend, and just enough carbohydrates to keep up energy levels. These are perfect for wrestlers who are dropping weight to move down to a lower weight class. They are low in calories, yet have the nutritional values that are so important to maintain or build strength. Try to consume 2 or 3 per day if you're cutting weight.

2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF Wrestlers are notorious for cutting weight by not eating, then dehydrating. Let me explain what happens to your body when you decide to do this in order to make weight each week. When you take in too few calories to maintain your body weight, the body goes into a defense mechanism. Sure, the scale will show that you are indeed losing weight. But the body determines that it is being starved, and as a means to protect itself from starving, it will hold onto body fat, and start breaking down muscle tissue for energy. You will wind up losing SOME body fat, plus muscle and water. So you make weight, but you're not as strong due to less muscle on your body. If you have to make weight, plan ahead, and try to lose body fat, not muscle.

3. Train Your Wrestling Muscles When creating a workout program for wrestling you must first consider the muscles that you use in wrestling in order of importance. These are the glutes, hips and low back (the posterior chain muscles), then the quadriceps, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, and neck. I recommend that you perform a full body strength routine, You still want to work the entire body thoroughly, but prioritize the wrestling muscles first.

4. Strength Train Every 4-5 Days During The Wrestling Season Your goal during the season is to at least keep up your strength levels, with the best case scenario being strength gains as the season progresses. In order to accomplish this you want to strength train frequently enough, but not so much that you're constantly breaking your body down. For the in-season, try to hit a full body workout on a schedule like this: Week 1 - Monday and Friday, Week 2 - Wednesday. Then repeat. This means that one week you perform 2 full body strength workouts, and the next week you perform one full body strength workout. Alternate these weeks throughout the wrestling season.

5. Progressive Resistance Remember to always strive to do at least one more repetition or the same amount of repetitions with a little more weight as often as possible. Your muscles quickly adapt, and you need to force them to become stronger. Strive for a 5% strength gain on each exercise per month. If you're really cutting a lot of weight this season, you may not be able to gain strength because the body needs a surplus of calories from food in order to feed the muscle. At least, try to maintain your strength by keeping the same weight on each exercise throughout the season.

Stone and Brick Strategies to Stop Erosion Considered

The other day I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu, I looked up and I noticed an entire hillside had brand-new brick work to hold back the mountain from erosion and mudslides. Obviously the homeowner did not wish to lose his home, driveway, or half the mountainside onto PCH. The work which was done looked quite stellar, and well-engineered. Of course, if you wish to do stone and brick work in your own backyard to stop corrosion you might try a similar strategy albeit on a very much smaller scale. Okay so let's talk about this for second shall we?

You do not need anything is elaborate as the Chocolate Hill rice terraces outside of Manila in the Philippines. Nevertheless, this strategy does work, and if done correctly it can hold back plenty of water, and prevent mudslides. Best of all, it's not as difficult as you might think. If you are considering doing something like this at your own home, there are many new spacing materials you can use between the stones or bricks.

This will allow you to use rocks, stones, or bricks other than the regular 3-D rectangle shape and then driving rebar down deep and through all the bricks, and then filling them in with concrete. Oh sure, that way works also, but it just doesn't look as decorative if you are doing something for your backyard, and you wanted to blend in with the landscape. Don't get me wrong, you might like that style with multiple layers of straight brick walls perfectly terraced.

Still, allowing for a little styling and the proper interim spacing materials sure looks brilliant. You might even use cobblestone, or decorative rock. If you are having problems conceptualizing this, I suggest that you go on to Google Images and look and see what other people have done, and then go to your local Home Depot, or Lowe's and talk to one of the landscape consultants about tricks of the trade. You can look through the brochures which come with your purchase, or you can go to a big box bookstore and look through some home improvement step-by-step instruction books.

No, I never said this would be easy, but if you follow the instructions, and play around with it a little, you'll surely get a sense of pride once it's completed, provided that you don't hurt your back from lifting the rocks incorrectly. Make sure you're healthy enough to do this project, because it does take a lot of work, and if you're new to the game, it will take you easily three or four times as long as it would a contractor who does this for a living. Please consider all this and think on it.

The Best Life Insurance for Seniors

It is possible today, unlike traditionally, to get an insurance policy that has the best rates and is affordable. In addition, you could get a policy that does not need any medical exams, because most seniors do not like this option. You can get over-50 quotes by researching on the best insurance companies in the Internet.

Term life insurance

For people who are over 50 but under the age of 86, it is possible to get a cheap term life insurance. In this type of insurance, premiums are low and it is easy to qualify for them. This is a temporary insurance meaning that when the specified term period ends, this policy ends or its rates will shoot up highly.

Whole Life insurance and universal life insurance

These two types of insurance are almost the same when it comes to guarantees of lifetime rates. Universal life is quite flexible; however, when you stop paying for the premiums, all the coverage might be lost. This is different from the whole life insurance where if premium payment is halted, some or even all the coverage is guaranteed to stay in place for your life.

Universal insurance is known for its low price compared to the whole life. Additionally, it offers higher cash value. This kind of insurance offers much flexibility with the payment of premiums. It is suitable for you would want a large and flexible coverage. This however, requires medical tests for people over the age of 75.

Whole life insurance on the other hand is the best when it comes to the final expenses. This is because of the built in cash provision. With this, many companies will offer no medical test up to a certain age like 85. If you or probably your parent needs a plan that is good, which will take care of all your final expenses including burial costs then this is the best type of insurance to go for.

The above kinds of insurance depend on your various needs and personal goals. You should ask the specific insurance provider all your questions about insurances. In addition to this, you should review your various goals.

You should also get an agent who will help you get a plan that will help you. These agents will recommend the type of insurance and your suitable one according to how you present your case. It means that you have to be honest with this agent to get the best out of it. This will enable you to know exactly which plan you are going to take and get the best over-50 life insurance.

The Importance of Link Diversity

Awhile back I talked about the importance of traffic diversity; that is the importance of ensuring that all of your traffic isn't coming from just one place. This was in the wake of the Content Farm update, later renamed the Panda Update after the affectionate nickname given by his coworkers to the programmer at Google who spearheaded and played a pivotal role in the update in question.

The idea was that no one traffic source is guaranteed and reliable for all time whether that's paid traffic, organic SEO, etc. because one substantial change in the policies of that traffic source and your ocean of traffic has been stopped up to resemble a trickling stream overnight unless you have plenty of other traffic sources coming in.

Today I'm going to talk about something completely different: the importance of link diversity.

Traffic and SEO are inextricably linked, but this primarily will refer to search engine optimization and the paramount role which link diversity plays in it.

Just like you don't want all of your traffic coming from the same place, you don't want all of your links coming from the same place.

Would you rather have just one VERY excited webmaster vouching for your site OR would you rather have an entire caravan worth of webmasters vouching for it:

The answer is pretty clear, variety wins out time and time again. Google doesn't want to see just one site or one type of site linking to your site because that says to them that your content isn't good enough to get links from other sources, and it looks questionable at best.

Just like if you were shopping around and were interested in buying a new product, you'd rather read lots of testimonials from different people about that product as opposed to just one very excited person who likely is just a shill for that company; eventually you want to hear from some other people to get some more opinions.

The moral of the story is to make sure that you not only procure links from a variety of article directories, but from other types of sites like blogs, bookmarks, RSS, forums. Diversity is the cornerstone of any successful linking campaign because it looks natural and looks like you have value content to share with the world. Therefore you should think about varying up your linking opportunities as often as possible to enjoy the benefits of Google.
