How to Get ANY Website Highly Ranked on Google Without Being an SEO Expert
The main problem people have with regards to making money online, is quite simply - they don't ever get enough TRAFFIC to their Websites - not enough people ever get to see their offers, hence they always experience mediocre results...perhaps, a handful of sales here and there.
It's no use having a wonderful Website, with a wonderful offer, at a wonderful price if hardly anyone ever gets to see it. A lot of website owners spend a lot of time adding good content to their sites (which is good),

What magnificatoin are professional telescopes?
by Jon Wiley
Question by water_skipper: What magnificatoin are professional telescopes?
I'm talking about the big telescopes at observatories that profession astronomers use. What magnification are those?
Best answer:
Answer by CirricHi. The upper limit of magnification, or resolution, is a function of objective size for ALL telescopes. And the higher the magnification the smaller the field of view. If you need a number then say 250x - 1,000x.

The Incredible Transition Of Dr. King
A long time ago in the fabled southlands of America, the authorities told black people they had to use the "colored" restrooms - not the "white" people ones. It was thought at the time that "mixing the races" would lead to rape, diseases or other unfortunate circumstances. One public restroom each in a building's common area was supplied for colored men, colored women, white men and white women; pretty idiotic, don't you think?It did make four "water closets" available, two apiece for each sex,
