One of popular assignments among professors at colleges and universities is informal essay. This type of essays usually implies an easy and natural treatment of one’s topic. That is why writing such essays is often full of enjoyment and creativity. It tends to be more personal than the formal essay. It is not that informal essays cannot be informative, persuasive, and only concerned with fun but they have a relaxed manner of narration in them in respect of opinions, observation, humor or pleasure, and a concrete structure. A good informal essay has a laid-back style but preserve a strong constitution, though that constitution may be less strict than in a formal paper. In an informal essay, the writer is speaking directly to the reader in a conversational manner.

As well as gaining traffic from click-through and free searches, article marketing can help to boost your site’s page rank because it provides relevant one-way back links to your website which is a factor search engines use to calculate popularity. Article marketing success starts with the article itself. The article needs to be well written, easy to read and to concentrate on the area of interest you wish to promote. If you write an article on a topic that is not related to your website business, you may get curiosity seekers but they will not be targeted. On the other hand if your article is related to your website in any way, people who click on your link are probably searching for more information. Consequently, these readers are much more likely to be interested in the products or services you are promoting. The first step to article marketing success is to choose an attention grabbing title that includes your keyword. People searching on your keywords are far more likely to find your article than otherwise. The title of your article needs to attract a person that wants to read the article itself. The article content is probably the most important aspect of article marketing. The content needs to be relevant, informative and helpful. It also needs to be engaging. Your purpose is to hold the reader’s attention for the whole article and impress them enough that they will want to click on your link in the resource box. The article should also be written with internet marketing SEO (search engine optimization) in mind. Keywords and terms with a similar meaning (to appeal to latent semantic indexing) should be dotted throughout the article. Use your keyword in the first one hundred words of the article, in the last one hundred words and a few times in the body of the article. Keyword density should be kept in the 1-2% range if possible. You also need to peak your readers’ interest so that they are more likely to click on your link in the resource box. An excellent way to increase click-throughs to your website is to divide your article into two parts. Submit the first part to the article directories of your choice and keep part 2 on your own website. On your own site you can insert links in the article which can take the reader to other information on the site. To be successful in article marketing over the long term you need to submit original, interesting articles regularly to high traffic articles directories such as Top Rank articles. If you are consistent and diligent and follow the guidelines in this article, you will find that article marketing is a highly effective strategy for website promotion.

‘Bharathiyar’ is the name that reminds Indians of nationalism, patriotism and Tamil prose and poetry. Born in 1882 he was conferred the title of ‘Bharati’ for his poetic talent at a tender age. Bharati emerged as a prolific poet earning the name of ‘Mahakavi’, meaning a Great Poet. He died at the age of 39 but in his short span of life he had made immeasurable contribution to his country and language. Life of a patriot He lived in the eventful years of our country’s freedom struggle. He had met his contemporaries who influenced his political thinking like Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak, Sister Nivedita, Aurobindo Gosh, VVS Iyer and Lajpat Roy. The Tamil poet and writer’s life itself is a shining example of upholding the spirit of freedom, equality, justice and love despite poverty and against the oppressive British rule. He was the assistant editor of ‘Swadesamithran’ a Tamil daily from 1904 to 1907. He launched ‘India’ the Tamil weekly of which he was the editor and later edited a newspaper ‘Bala Bharatam’ in English. He had a turbulent life laced with living in exile, arrest, being jailed amidst abject poverty. He resumed as editor of Swadesamithran a year before his death in 1921. Social reformist His lofty dreams about our society and the country came out brilliantly in his songs and prose. He had the uncanny ability of using his literary skills to the best to kindle the patriotic feelings of the masses and about the evils of the society which caused all their problems. Patriot He proudly proclaims that the there is no other country in the world can equal the greatness of India which has the Himalyan mountains, the sacred river Ganges and the Upanishads in his song “Mannum Imaya malai’ and ‘paarukkule nalla naadu’. He is equally proud about the Richness and sweetness of the Tamil language in his lines ‘yamarindha mozhiugalile’. He proclaims with equal pride the richness and uniqueness of the Tamil language. Advocating Freedom and Casteless society He fearlessly wrote about freedom for individuals as wells as nations being influenced by ‘Vande Mataram’ the patriotic song by Bankim Chandra. These meetings have injected fearlessness into his writing. Considering this to be a divine inspiration he went on to write revolutionary compositions that were packed with national unity and the spirit of freedom His songs brought a spiritual dimension to the freedom movement. ‘Swathesa Geethangal’ and ‘Janma Bhoomi’ which he dedicated to sister Nivedita are examples of his patriotic songs and serving the underprivileged and emancipation of women. They were distributed to the people during the freedom movement of India. His dreams of a free India and a society that is educated, devoid of its social evils and living in harmony. We can see that many of his dreams have come true today. His writings when he was in exile in Puduchery were so powerful that the British even jailed him. His songs for the children in ‘Paappa Paattu’ and ‘Pudhiya Aathichoodi’ evoked a sense of equality, love towards all living beings, casteless society and courage etc. His simple words convey the ethical and moral principles to the young minds effortlessly. His unique style was simple with a technique of weaving the spoken language and rhythm into beautiful prose and poetry. The literary genius Bharati has made an indelible mark in the minds of crores of Tamil people through his writings that included novels, short stories, essays and poetry.

The Secret to Writing Five to Ten Articles per Day Many people complain that they have never been successful writing articles. They say that their articles do not bring any meaningful traffic to their website. In most cases, the reason for this is that these people do not write consistently. They probably wrote one or two articles over the course of a week and expected a flood of traffic. When it didn’t happen, they gave up. Writing articles is a great way to bring traffic to your website and generate sales. But you’ve got to do a lot of it. Writing one article a week is not enough to benefit your website or your bottom line. To be successful writing articles, you’ve got to submit at least one each day. If you want to be really successful, you should submit three to five (or more) a day. But how is it possible to write that many articles each day. First of all, I start out with a basic format that I use for all of my articles. Using a simple format for every article I write keeps me focused on the process and enables me to do it quickly. In the first paragraph I state the reason that I’m writing the article. By using the same basic opening for all of my articles, I am never at a loss on how to start an article. In the next few paragraphs, I provide the meat of my article. I do this quickly by downloading three or four related articles from an ezine. I take three or four ideas from each article and put them into my own words. Never copy someone else’s work. It is illegal and can have severe penalties. If this is your first time trying to write several articles in one day, write a “list type” article. A list type article starts out with; 10 ways to…, or 5 techniques to…, or 7 secrets of… This is the easiest type of article to write. You merely list the items in the body of your article. My closing paragraph synopsizes the information contained in the article. By using these techniques, you’ll be writing ten articles per day and on your way to super success in no time!

When you’re trying to come up with article ideas, sometimes it seems like it’s feast or famine. There are days when I’m so inundated with ideas that I can’t write them down as fast as they’re coming. Sometimes I get ideas at inappropriate times and places, so I end up jotting them down on napkins, receipts or my palm. Sometimes they even wake me up from a deep sleep. But what do you do on days where everything looks bleak and uninteresting, days when the Muse forgets to show up? Here are some of my favorite sources for article ideas: 1. Forums. To me, nothing is as stimulating as a visit to an active forum such as .warriorforum.com/forum. People present both problems that need to be solved and suggestions at solutions. Sometimes after a visit to a forum, articles practically write themselves. If you’re in a hurry, just browsing discussion topics may be all you need to get started. 2. Browse article directories. By scanning through lists of newly added articles, ideas for a different angle on the same topic may suddenly pop into your head. 3. Magazine covers. If you’re still stumped, visit your local magazine shop or library and browse at the covers. Certain topics appear over and over and may trigger a new twist on a common topic. Make a habit of doing this frequently so that you’ll be aware of trends as they happen. 4. TV talk shows. These are not always interesting but can sometimes offer sudden inspiration. You may hear what problems are on people’s minds, or you may be exposed to a particularly inspirational person. 5. Keyword research. If you have a vague idea what you’re hoping to write about, plugging a word into a keyword research tool may be all it takes to inspire a new slant. These are just a few ideas to get through an uninspired moment. Get in the habit of carrying a notebook and jotting down an article idea that suddenly appears out of nowhere. When you develop this habit, you’ll find uninspired moments will become fewer and fewer. Ideas are everywhere. Learn to be open to them constantly and to jot them down and organize them when they appear. As you start to write them down and keep them where you can find them when needed, you’ll suddenly realize you have more ideas than you’ll ever be able to write articles for.

Operation Save the Innocent, Tony Ruggiero, 2008, ISBN 1896944604 Part two of a series, this book is about the use of vampires as present-day US Government assassins. In part one, John Reese ran a very high-level military program called Team of Darkness, a team of three vampires ordered to kill selected targets. Led by a vampire called Dmitri, they had little choice in the matter. Around each of their necks was a permanent metal collar filled with a serum, that, at the touch of a button, would be injected into them, and kill them slowly and painfully. At the end of the book, Reese freed the three, telling his superiors that he killed them. In this story, a megalomaniac officer named General Stone secretly obstructed Reese’s efforts to abolish the program. He has also secretly secured two young girls, a 13-year-old and her 8-year-old sister, to be his own personal assassins, with similar collars. They were turned into vampires through a Balkan (southeast Europe) equivalent of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s feud. General Stone is found dead, murdered by Christina, another vampire, who could be said to have started all of this. She was found in a cave in the Balkans near the end of World War II, and was convinced to come to America. Dmitri and his two colleagues find out about the two sisters, and break them out of a very secure military prison, the same one in which they were held. Reese, supposedly retired from the military, is forcibly recalled to active duty (by an ultra-secret agency called The Agency) with the task of finding them. The alternative is to spend the rest of his life in military prison. He also starts a “relationship” with Christina, and is unaware of her story. This novel does a fine job of combining a vampire story with a political thriller. I am not much of a vampire novel lover, but I am very interested in reading future novels in this series. Paul Lappen is a freelance book reviewer whose website, Dead Trees Review, has nearly 700 reviews on all subjects, with an emphasis on small press books.

Handwriting analysis can often be useful in detecting malfunctions in the body. If the handwriting in Figure 1 were superimposed on the stick Figure in the above diagram, we would see that the top part of the upper-zone letters would correspond to the head. There are tremu¬lous strokes and even a little gap in one of the letters-all in the same area, the left side of the top of the upper-zone letter. We can easily see why this writer should complain of headaches… Handwriting analysis can often be useful in detecting malfunctions in the body, for there are telltale signs in the ailing person’s writing. We know today that although the conscious mind of an individual may not be aware of any particular disorder, on the subconscious level the brain keeps a record of all that takes place in the body. Just as it dictates the personality, so it reacts to the disorder, for it is always aware when something is amiss. If the disorder is repaired, it is interesting to note how the signs disappear from the writing as well. But handwriting signs of physical disorder are not so consistent as those for personality traits. Diagnosing illness through handwriting is still in its infancy. If, for example, a man’s left foot is amputated, a gap or blotch may appear in the left side of the lower zone-but only now and then. A normal man would probably not leave gaps there at all, or not with statistically significant frequency. It is this frequency-not a 100-percent consistency-which the graphologist looks for. Picture handwriting superimposed upon a stick figure. The top part of the upper-zone letters would correspond to the head. If there are tremulous strokes and even a little gap in one of the letters-all in the same area, the left side of the top of the upper-zone letters, we can easily see why this writer should complain of headaches, particularly on the left side. Imagine gaps in the right side of the upper portion of the upper-zone letters. This represents the head area, but the gap itself is not located at the top of the letters, but is a bit lower down and here represents the eyes. This writer may have lost the sight in his right eye. Consider gaps in the center of the middle zone, which reflects the area of the stomach and crotch. This type of writing is frequently found among women after sustaining a hysterectomy. Picture middle-zone gaps in the connecting strokes and in the beginning strokes, (these gaps can occur in the end strokes and have a similar interpretation). This area represents the arms and hands. Writers, whose hands were injured, due to accidents, commonly write this way. When most of the defects appear in the upper left portion of the upper zone, this may be due to a stroke, which affected the left side of his body. If someone, apparently in the best of health, were to hand you a handwriting sample, you might be a bit reluctant to say that there was something wrong with him. The graphologist should never be misled by any outside information whatsoever. Besides certain basic information (age, sex, country of origin), he should get all his information from the writing itself. He should not even rely on his own impression; this is not the job of the graphologist. The inexperienced analyst may hear that the subject whom he is analyzing is of a certain type. If he does not uncover this in the writing, he should not make this part of his analysis. Many times, people make untrue statements in order to deceive the graphologist and because they are skeptical. The experienced graphologist prefers that you not tell him anything (except for the above-mentioned basic information), for he does not want his judgment influenced. The writer suffered a severe accident when still a child and part of his left ear was severed. This was indicated by the contrast in his writing. The upper left part of the upper zone was considerably lighter than the rest of the writing. Wherever there is a nick or a space or part of the writing in different pressure from the rest, it is a sign from the brain that something in that particular area is different. This particular defect was not noticeable in the writer’s appearance, for his hair was covering it. But his handwriting gave it away. Imagine there are quite a number of lighter strokes in the middle zone, compared to the rest of the writing. This is often a sign of anemia or low blood pressure-as if the person did not have enough strength to write the word with the proper amount of pressure. Consider disturbances in the upper right part of the upper zone (reflecting the head) and in two instances a thickening and in one a gap. This person may have lost the hearing in his right ear. Why exactly there should be a thickening and a lightening cannot be determined, only that the brain notes a disturbance of some kind. Picture heavy pressure in the left lower part of the lower zones (reflecting the feet). This person may suffer from corns on the left foot. Imagine markedly less pressure (almost blank spaces) in the left side of the lower zone. This writer may have been in a fire and still has the scar. Consider both the left side and the right side of the lower zone, which show empty spaces, areas that correspond with the feet. This writer’s feet may be deformed. Picture a writing disturbance that occurs in the lower part of the upper-zone areas (representing the chest-waist area and the back). This writer may have suffered a slipped disk. If a person who usually writes in a relatively clear manner suddenly begins to write a blotchy, unclear hand, it is a danger signal of possible physical and/or mental illness. Two handwriting samples of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche authenticated this point. Though Nietzsche’s first writing was clear, the pastose, unclear, blotchy writing of the second sample was written after his physical and mental collapse, in a state of depression. OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE TRENDS One characteristic of compulsive neurotics is that they feel an unreasonable need to repeat certain thoughts or acts, often of an apparently harmless and meaningless nature. In handwriting, too, compulsion neurosis betrays itself in such meaningless repetitions. When asked why she repeated the i-dots, the writer answered that she did not know why, but could not help repeating them. PERSECUTORY TRENDS This paranoiac betrayed himself through blurred spots his script. (They look like corrections that do not improve anything, or should I call them smoke screens?) These blurred spots may be interpreted as the visible traces of the writer’s temporary confusion or his unconscious attempt to obliterate his traces. For such blurred words, letters, syllables, figures seem to be produced during a passing loss of consciousness on the part of the writer. Graphologically, I would interpret the: …split letter as: indicating a break with tradition, customs, and the socially acceptable–a split in the writer’s intellectual world; …decayed script as: indicating the undermining of the writer’s image of the real world and the dissolution of his contact and communication with other people; …wavering lines as: indicating the writer’s confusion between conscious and unconscious, facts and hallucinations. Oversimplified and incomplete as these interpretations are, they may serve as an invitation to experimental psychiatrists to look into these problems from the standpoint of expressive gestures. As a graphologist, I am not prepared to discuss the complete dynamic and genetic bases for these expressive signs and symptoms. Examination for Lesson 16 1. Nietzsche’s writing was originally clear. It became pastose, unclear, blotchy. What is indicated? 2. Characteristic of compulsive neurotics is that they feel an unreasonable need to—-? 3. Constant writing “corrections” that do not correct is characteristic of which disorder? 4. Writing what kind of letter reflects a split in the writer’s intellectual world? Answers for Lesson 16 1.

As you likely know from personal experience, the value of email has been greatly tarnished by spam, unsolicited messages, online junk mail. So, many subscribers and would-be subscribers care very much about the exposure of their email addresses. Since this issue is so important, articulate a privacy policy for your newsletter. Will you rent, sell, or exchange the names of your subscribers to other organizations or persons? While most of us have no plans to do so when we are small, that opinion can change as we grow our list. Quite frankly, once your list gets to a certain size, you may be able to earn quite a bit of money by renting it out. Many magazine and subscription publishers find that the difference between a profit and loss is list rental income. If you do decide to keep the list names strictly to yourself, post a message to that effect somewhere, either in the email newsletter itself, at sites where you collect the names of subscribers, or both. By posting, and adhering to, a privacy policy, you will get more subscribers. To read an example, go my newsletter’s web page at .abbottletter.com . If you’re not sure whether you will or will not sell or rent the addresses, then put a note to that effect instead. Many companies do this by saying something like this: “Would you like to receive information messages by email from our valued partners?” To that, of course, you add a checkbox. The default position should be off, which is to say, subscribers have to click on the box to receive those mailings. And, needless to say, you must then respect the choice they make. You must also make it quick and easy for subscribers to say good-bye. Each issue of your newsletter should contain information explaining how to unsubscribe or be removed from the mailing list. There are many forms this information can take. To choose one, go through the email newsletters you now receive, and decide which you like best. Then, prepare your own notice, using this one as a guide. Of course, you will not copy anything directly, which would be plagiarism. On the flip side, add information to each newsletter that explains how to subscribe, and consider, too, putting in a line asking recipients to pass along your newsletter to someone else who would benefit from it. A simple reminder like that could help you build your list, painlessly. Recommendations from a trusted colleague or friend will boost your subscriber list quickly. Summing up, develop a privacy policy and stick to it. In addition, give your subscribers an escape hatch they can access quickly and easily. Robert F.

While there’s no Golden Rule to “Being Published”; it appears the only way to get your foot in the door is to have a respected literary agent hold it open. (I can’t count the number of times my toes, and my ego, have been smashed.) Most of the large NY publishing houses don’t accept unagented queries, and those that do will assign assistant editors to muck through the slush pile. A good literary agent has spent years in the publishing business, building relationships with editors, studying the market, knowing what editors are looking for and which publishers specialize in specific markets or genres. They will be your guide and your advocate to the publishing world. The trick is finding a good literary agent. By now you have probably heard many horror stories about disreputable agents. If not, do yourself a favor and read the information at Writer Beware, .sfwa.org/beware/agents.html. Be wary of any agent that charges an upfront fee, regardless of what they call it, or an agent that requires an author to use editing or marketing services as a condition of representation. Agents who make their money up front, as reading fees or marketing fees, or who receive a kickback from referrals, are not motivated to sell books. The anonymity of the Internet provides an ideal environment for these creative con artists but it also lets us warn others. According to Writer Beware, here are few methods employed by dishonest agents: • Reading Fees
