Registered Plumbers
To take up a career in plumbing, one has to have the required qualifications from a reputed institution. As this is a specialized field, it requires an immense amount of practical and theoretical knowledge. However, once you become a registered plumber, you have a career that will be in demand as long as there are old homes that need plumbing repairs and new homes that need plumbing installed!There are a number of institutes which cater to this career option and provide in-depth information, guidance and counseling. In Washington, plumbers need a certification from the labor and industries department. You can apply for and get or renew your plumber’s certification online. This could be for a Trainee Plumber, a Journeyman Plumber - whose specialties would be residential or backflow or for a Medical Gas Endorsement. These forms could be downloaded, filled in and submitted to any L&I field office. The dates for submitting the forms, the exams and the fees payable are all available online.The Texas state board has apprentice programs and all an applicant needs for enrollment together with his filled-out form is his Social Security Number, Driver’s License Number or State Issued ID Number and his current employer’s address and phone number. A random expiry date will be issued after the first plumber’s apprentice registration. Then, the onus is on the plumber to renew his registration every year. An apprentice plumber can only work under the supervision of a fully registered master plumber.One has to be familiar with the Plumbing License Law and Board rules. A copy of the laws governing apprentice plumbers and what they can and cannot do would be good to keep by one’s side. There are various application levels and review courses including a special quota where applicants with criminal convictions are considered. All in all, it’s a career with a lot of potential!

Are You One of the 90% Of the Population Living Paycheck to Paycheck
I recently attended a seminar and had the privilege of listening to Sharon Lechter. For those of you unfamiliar with Sharon, she has co-authored several books with Robert Kiyosaki. (If you have never read any of their books, you are missing a wonderful resource for learning about financial freedom.)FACTS: • 90% of the population are living pay check to paycheck • Many do no have the Financial Education they need to get out of the rat race • Our educational system does not teach financial basics and freedom • If you want Financial Freedom, you have to educate yourselfDEFINITIONS: • Income – Money coming In • Expense – Money going Out • Asset – Brings Money In • Liability – Sucks Money OutIS YOU HOUSE AN ASSET?I just gave you a list of definitions. Based on the definitions, is your house an asset? Does your house bring money in? I know for myself, that is definitely not the case! It continually SUCKS money out. It is therefore a LIABILITY. I know you are going to argue with this logic. I did the same. Yes, a house typically appreciates in value. Yes, you will probably make money when you sell your house. BUT, if it is not a source of income, it is by definition a liability.What about your other possessions? • Car – liability • Swimming Pool – definite liability • Boat - liabilityLet’s think about assets. What assets do you own? Do you have a savings account? Your savings is an asset. Due to low interest rates, the income it produces is small. But none the less, it is an asset. What about stocks, bonds? These are assets. Rental Properties? Assests.If your response is: “I’m so strapped that I can’t think beyond paying the bills today.” ;you need to educate yourself. You do not need to be in bondage. Go to the library and read some of the books by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.I will be writing a series of articles highlighting all the relevant information I gleaned from this conference. If you are looking for a ‘Get Rich Quick’ scheme, look elsewhere. After you have exhausted you time and resources, come back and learn how you can gain financial freedom the only way.

Reciprocal Linking Leaves Way for Link Triangulation and Quadrangulation
Reciprocal linking has been a widely used strategy for web promotion, in spite of requiring significant effort from us webmasters. First you need to evaluate the convenience of every exchange, then do the actual link publishing and finally, it is necessary a periodical check-up of the corresponding link prevalence.Trying to make things easier for busy webmasters, a wide number of Link Exchange Managers have appeared. These tools are now a very competitive field in the e-Marketing arena. As a result, links in the web have grown much faster than quality contents.The main purpose of current reciprocal linking is to earn link popularity in the search engines, which means better ranking. However, it ads very little value to the Web, and takes away traffic in the same way as it brings it in.For the search engines, telling good from bad links is getting more and more difficult, and it makes sense for them to penalize such links.We have found several evidences showing that reciprocal links are outmoded.“Google has started to penalize sites that provide two-way links to each other” http://www.ezgenerator.com/blog/180_blog.php?action=frontpage&entry_id=1134567055&comments=comments“As of October 2005, Google appears to have implemented a new penalty on sites which are excessive with their reciprocal link exchanging”. http://www.ringjohn.com/reciprocal_link_building.html“Having too many reciprocal links eventually works against you.” http://affiliatetip.com/news/article00368.phpAre Reciprocal Links Dead? http://www.webstatsgold.com/are-reciprocal-links-dead.htmTo verify it, we selected the first 100 websites found in the Google SERP under “SEO”, and ran Back Link Analyzer version 2, which simplifies the analysis task. This tool is free and anyone can check our results.Reciprocal link exchange can be hard to detect, because it might require complete spidering of both sites. We established a 3-level limit in our crawling.Some of our findings:• There was no correlation between ranking and incoming links.• There was no correlation between ranking and PageRank.• Keyword density in the domain was a weak indicator of better ranking• Keyword density inside the home page w
