A text ad exchange has similarities to Traffic Exchanges & Safelists, in that you earn points by reading other peoples ads and can swap those points for your own advertising. You can earn points in a number of ways. Firstly there are the text ads, which are a single line of text (100 chars). If you find one interesting click on it, and the site that is being promoted will open. When you have viewed that site for more than 10 seconds you will be awarded points to go towards your own advertising. HTML ads work in the same way.

You can add banners to a text ad exchange and can earn points by clicking on any banners on the text ad exchange and viewing the promoted site for more than 10 seconds. Banners appear on the text ad exchange itself and whenever someone clicks on a credit link in a solo ad (see below), they appear at the top of the window.

Guaranteed Traffic Links are a great feature of text ad exchanges. They guarantee a number of unique visitors to your site. They are available in 50, 100 & 200 views. The traffic links are featured on the text ad exchange and can be clicked on to earn points. You can only earn points from each traffic link once and if someone clicks on your traffic link more than once, it will only count as one view. That way it guarantees you will get a set number of unique visitors to your site.

You can swap your points for a solo ad to all the members of the text ad exchange’s contact email addresses. We send a maximum of 5 solo ads a day at THE Text Ad Exchange (some text ad exchanges send a lot more!) and don’t send them all at the same time of day so that each ad gets the attention it deserves. Each solo ad has a credit link at the bottom which links to the site being promoted and earns you points. Solo ads earn you the most amount of points for a click so people like to click on solo ads.

When you login to a text ad exchange an ad is displayed for 10 seconds. You can swap your points for one of these login ads for a number of views (not all text ad exchange have this feature). When you have logged in to the text ad exchange you will see a navigation bar on the left of the window. You can add your own navigation button to the menu for a period of 7 days in exchange for points.

One other way of earning points is to refer other members to the site. You will earn points every time they log in and a percentage of the points that they earn. You will also earn commission on your referrals upgrades and ongoing advertising purchases. So referring others is a great way of getting free traffic & commissions.

If you don’t feel you have the time to be clicking on lots of ads to earn points you also have the option to buy points and advertising at text ad exchanges.

Some other features of the sites are, Downline Builder, Viral URL Cloaker, Weekly Draw for free advertising, Email Your Referrals, Plus More are added all the time.

There are two levels of membership at THE Text Ad Exchange, Free & Pro. Pro membership means you receive more points when you click on ads, free points each month, higher commission levels, more URL cloaker links, ability to save more ads, email your referrals more often and a pro bonus section. You can pay to upgrade to pro or can swap points for a free pro upgrade.

I hope that gives you a good overview of a text ad exchange. When you reduce it down to the basics it’s a case of you look at my site and I’ll look at yours. So you need to make sure your site catches peoples attention pretty quickly. Often a splash page of some sort is the best way of doing this. Also you need to realise that often people wont pay attention to a site until they have come across it a number of times and curiosity get the better of them! So you need to advertise constantly to get the best results. If you have a good landing page and advertise consistently you will get results from text ad exchanges. I know, I have, and that’s why I decided to set up THE Text Ad Exchange.

My name is Seb Brown and I run THE Text Ad Exchange which is a free advertising site.

As the economies in the US and abroad have faced challenges in recent years, finding a job has become a topic of major interest for people who were laid off or recently retired – suffering from losses in savings and the value of their property and investments. Not every industry has experienced the same decrease however, and several hot new industries are posting dozens of high paying jobs daily. What industries are these and where do you need to be in order to take advantage of them? Read on…

The clean technology space has seen a rise in investment and currently ranks first in states like California (followed by software and biotechnology). The green trend caught on in a big way when Al Gore released his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, in 2006 and has only continued to grow since then. With public endorsements from world leaders such as Barack Obama, everyone is hopping on the band wagon. You can search for green jobs and advertise your own openings for free at this site and learn more about the industry as a whole here (which features news from Solar, Wind, Biomass, and other major clean tech categories).

Interestingly, the future of clean energy is said to be staked in wind, solar, geothermal, and tide energies. Public interest however, is fixed primarily on Solar as it is more consumer friendly. Whether you’re a construction worker, business development manager, or entrepreneur the area of cleantech is a source of hope in this period of economic downturn.

Financial pundits are telling us on a daily basis something that is evident just by looking at all of the people looking for work in your neighborhood, the economy is sliding off a cliff. Even as the safest investments prove to be not so safe, there are some ways to improve your bottom line.

Businesses report that earnings are down and morale is low. Consumer confidence is low as well. Because the credit market is tight, businesses are not borrowing as much to invest, expand, or fund new projects. This all affects the bottom line. With that said, times are not good right now. However, it is hard to call an actual bottom on the market, so we don’t know for sure if it will go lower.

How can I increase my income, so I can invest in the stock market?

As an investor you are taking a much greater risk, saving is a stage on the road to investing. You cannot be an investor without being a saver but you can be a saver without being an investor. Investing is what you do with the savings you have created if you are looking to generate a return on your money that is greater than what is already available to you through your savings instruments.

Are you tired of losing money in the stock market?

Millions of people have lost billions and trillions of dollars and are watching their hard earned money taxi down the runway. But putting your money under your mattress is still not the best investment in these volatile times.

The economy the stock market and the dollar are on a steady decline. It’s not a surprise that many people are scared to invest their money in the stock market right now with the wild volatility it has been showing over the past year.

With the current Obama administration, one way to start investing now is to start investing in green technology. Now may be the time to concentrate rather than diversify your portfolio. Solar cell and wind power companies would be some possibilities. Although we are facing the worst economy since the Great Depression, it is clear that in the next five years you will see more money being invested in green technology which will result in positive results for companies in this industry.

Introduction

Taking down old buildings and replacing them with new is a process that has been going on for thousands of years. The destruction of buildings might have occurred during battles or attacks on towns; or due to natural disturbances such as earthquakes or volcanic activity. The resultant ruins would need to be removed and rebuilt. So the idea of demolition would have come about where a population wished to re-inhabit a specific area or site. (One famous example is the Holy Temple in Jerusalem which was deliberately destroyed by the Assyrians around 586 BCE. After 50 years of occupation the Jews returned to Jerusalem and began the re-construction of the second temple which took seventy years to complete.)

However the actual word to demolish only came into being in 1570, and was used from then on to mean the deliberate taking down or destroying of a building or structure.

Preserving the past – preparing the future.

In a country like Britain with very dense populations per square mile, there is a limited amount of land available for building. The land between built up areas of the villages and towns is known as Green Belt and is protected from development to preserve the agricultural and natural heritage which is vital to the economy of the country.

The outcome of this policy is that there is a constant shortage of land for housing and industry, so the developers have to be more creative when providing structures for the population. One of the ways of doing this is to find places where the buildings are no longer commercially viable or have been abandoned, and re-use the area for different purposes. These areas are known as brownfield, or greyfield sites. In some cities, particularly Leeds and Manchester, the old warehouses or factories have been converted into apartments, retaining the original shell and reconfiguring the internal dimensions into desirable living accommodation.

Brownfield sites are disused industrial and commercial facilities where the land may be contaminated with hazardous waste or pollution. They are potentially valuable for significant redevelopment once they have been cleaned up. Greyfield sites are urban properties that have been underutilised or abandoned, but do not have the environmental issues of brownfield sites. They were termed greyfield sites because of large areas of asphalt that covered the land. These sites are valuable because they already have the infrastructure such as water, sewage, electricity and gas in place and do not need remedial work to utilise the site.

When a structure is to be removed there are different ways of approaching the task. The size and construction of the building, the new use of the site and whether there are valuable elements suitable for re-use, will all determine how it is to be demolished.

Traditional Demolition

Traditionally, once all the services were disconnected, the machinery and men would go in and just knock down the walls which caused the roof to collapse and then drag all the wreckage away. Any concrete hard standing would be broken up ready for removal. The excavation process would involve the clearing of rubbish and disposed of in landfill sites. However modern demolition practices are very controlled and are subject to strict planning, safety and monitoring regulations.

Small structures such as two or three storey houses can be dismantled quite easily with hydraulic excavators and bulldozers using an undermining process. The walls are undermined at the base, in order to topple the structure; at the same time the manner and direction of the fall is controlled. Clean-up and safety issues are also taken into account when choosing how the building will be undermined and demolished.

Larger buildings such as tower blocks and chimneys require more specialist techniques, and are outlined below.

Deconstruction

A new approach to demolishing buildings is deconstruction – a green approach. The aim is to diminish the amount of waste going to landfill sites by carefully preserving valuable materials for reuse. The work may be a painstaking task of dismantling by hand – brick by brick – or beam by beam. The reclaimed materials are then recycled or re-used for future buildings. The results of deconstruction can save in excess of 90% waste from going to a landfill site. When the farmer opposite to my house sold his farm yard with barns for housing, the builder demolished the barns, cleaned up the bricks and reused them for the perimeter wall of the farmhouse. At the time I was looking for some rubble as a base for a path and the builder let me take several barrow loads off his pile.

Recycling

Historically when old buildings were ruined from disuse or war damage the local people would gradually remove the stone and use it to build their new structures such as houses or barns. Hadrian’s wall between Carlisle and Newcastle has mostly disappeared because after the Romans left, the local population made off with the beautifully dressed stone the Roman craftsmen had used in the building of the wall. So even in those days people understood the value of recycling because it was much cheaper than having to quarry and dress the stone themselves.

At one time the rubble resulting from a demolished building would be taken to a landfill site for disposal. Now however concrete can be rapidly broken up with the latest machine called a guillotine and the resultant rubble can be crushed and used as sub-base material for the foundation of the new building which is to replace the old, or sent to other construction sites. These days this crushed rubble is called 6f2 crushed stone or 6f2 crushed material.

Modern machinery and techniques allows the demolition companies to efficiently segregate waste types on or off-site. Wherever possible construction materials are recycled and re-used in the new structure. Recycling of waste contributes to a significant savings in project costs and is good for the environment.

When we renovated our bungalow 20 years ago the builder, who was a bell ringer, found an old beam from a bell tower that was being renovated, and after carefully treating it, installed it in the kitchen. It gave the room some badly needed character and has never needed any further treatment.

Copper pipes, wiring, roof tiles or slates, floor tiles and doors, and wood panelling are some of the valuable items that are saved for recycling and re-use. There are specialist yards in many towns where reclaimed old or antique artefacts are available for purchase.

Tall Buildings

The demolition of tall buildings requires expert techniques. In some cases a wrecking ball on a crane may be used to demolish the top part of a tall building until it is down to a manageable height. However this process is rarely used due to the uncontrollable factor of the swinging ball and the proximity of other buildings.

Other methods of demolition of tall buildings are by implosion using explosives, controlled collapse and piecemeal. Also ‘High Reach’ demolition excavators are used where explosives are not suitable. Once the building is down to a more manageable height demolition continues in the usual way.

The steeplejack Fred Dibnah became famous in the late 1970′s for his work on demolishing tall chimneys without the need for explosives. He would cut an ingress at the base of the chimney, use wooden props to support the brickwork and then burn the props so that the chimney toppled hopefully in the right direction.

The tallest building to be lawfully demolished was the Singer Building of New York in 1967/8. More recently the collapse of the World Trade Centre after the 9/11 attack in 2001 illustrates the terrible devastation that could occur if the demolition is not controlled and very carefully contained.

In the demolishing of tall buildings and large structures water hoses and spray equipment is used to control the dust and would is termed a wet demolition.

Explosions

What comes to mind for many people when they think about demolition would be the dramatic collapse of a tall building using explosives. However it is usually the process of implosion, using explosives, that brings down a tall building so that it does as little damage as possible to the surrounding environment. Implosion is essential for dense urban areas and is very fast, the collapse taking only seconds, with the building crashing inwards into its own footprint.

Using explosives is specialist work and is a very skilled process and getting it wrong can be devastating. If an implosion is not prepared correctly the danger may be damage to neighbouring structures or even killing onlookers from flying debris. Even more dangerous is a partial collapse of a building where the remaining structure is unstable and there are still primed explosives that failed to go off. Workers are in great danger if or when continuing the demolition.

Other hazards of working with explosives occurs when the atmospheric pressure from low cloud above the implosion site will cause the shockwave to spread outwards instead of upwards. The wave of energy and sound created will break windows and cause other damage to the surrounding buildings.

Because of the dangers of working with explosives, implosion will only be used when other methods are too costly or impractical.

Health and Safety

Demolition of any building is highly dangerous and is a much more complicated and technical process than most people would realise. Experienced and skilled operators are essential to ensure safety for both workers and public alike. The stability of any structure is reliant on the interdependence of its component parts, so an incorrect sequence of dismantling could result in an unplanned collapse.

Health and safety is paramount in demolition work so personnel working in the industry have to be adequately trained. It is advisable for operatives to have gained a Certificate of Competence in Demolition to ensure they have the necessary skills and safety awareness. All demolition work is regulated by the Construction, Design and Management Regulations.

Sequence of Demolition

There has to be a sequence of actions before any demolition can take place. Each area council will have their own specific list for planning approval, but a typical order would be as follows:-

 

Provision of Information
The demolition company must provide information about the construction to be demolished, its previous use and the appropriate demolition method to be applied including disposal of hazardous substances.

 

 

Survey of Demolition
Identification of any structural problems as well as risks associated with hazardous or flammable substances such as asbestos removal requiring thorough asbestos surveys of the site. (E.g. Where petrol has been stored, ie disused garage, precautions need to be taken to prevent a fire hazard).

 

 

Preferred and Safe Method of Work
A reputable company involved in demolition will be able to select the appropriate method of disposal. Planning and outlining the dismantling process is necessary for assiduous monitoring. A detailed statement outlining the safety process needs to be agreed by all parties involved before any demolition can take place.

 

 

Preparation and Planning
There is a lot of preparation to be done before starting work on demolishing the building itself. Issues such as asbestos abatement, disconnecting utilities, rodent baiting, dealing with hazardous substances and making safe any electric, gas or other services have to be resolved.

 

 

Protection of the Public
Where demolition is carried out in heavily populated areas the protection of the public is paramount. Safety cannot be compromised. Temporary services may need to be arranged, health hazards assessed and people disturbed will need to be informed.

 

Conclusion

The word ‘demolish’ is interpreted as the deliberate and controlled collapse of a structure. Demolition work is a very hazardous business and demolishing any building is a complex and skilled process. The aim in demolition is to remove an unwanted building as safely and quickly as possible, recycle or re-use most of the old material, and clear the site ready for the subsequent use.

In the centre of Nottingham over the last few years there has been a major reconstruction of what was an old car park into a brand new shopping centre. While this was going on the public were only really aware of the boarding around the area, a change in traffic direction and maybe some big lorries going in and out of the site.

So the next time you see houses being demolished to make way for the new, give a thought to the company involved who’s team are daily working in a dangerous environment, adhering to all of the regulations and carefully and meticulously carrying out the project to bring us the modern conveniences we have come to expect and clearing the way for the future.

News On The Net

How many parents have witnessed their children gleefully making lots of curious treasures for mum and dad. There are many children who do these projects and bring them home. One thing that all of these children have in common is the fact that most of them will be wearing a kitchen apron at the same time!

Halitosis is a difficulty for many folks, primarily based on poor oral hygiene, bad eating habits or some other medical condition but if you learn the way to fix dragon breath, it doesn’t have to be a successive problem. In the event the halitosis is the result of a medical condition like digestive issues, it may need medical intervention by a doctor, apart from most who suffer from halitosis, learning to mend dragon breath can be so simple as learning good oral hygiene. As just about anybody knows, your breath is going to sniff like the very last thing you ate or drank, and it may not necessarily be pleasing. Mouthwashes, breath mints and most gum will only mask the upsetting odor leaving your mouth and to actually fix dog breath better measures will be obligatory. Many of us take morning breath for granted and may not realize that their nightly session with the mouthwash could be contributing the difficulty. Lots of these products contain alcohol that over the course of the night, dry out the mouth, offering a welcome environment for the germs that cause halitosis.

To mend halitosis, you need to dump the alcohol and try to not breath thru your mouth whilst sleeping.

Don’t Save Leftovers In Your Teeth One of the most typical factors behind halitosis is food particles between the teeth and gums and bacterial expansion on the outside of your tongue. Frequent brushing can remove almost all of the particles before they begin to ferment in your mouth and flossing can help fix dog breath by removing the ones stuck between your teeth as you fix bad breath. Mouthwashes containing chlorophyll can help kill bacteria and absorb odors and using mints and gum between meals can help fix dragon breath till you can brush. Drinking lots of water can’t only help you fix dog breath, but will also offer further health benefits. Most germs grow better in a dry environment and by keeping the mouth hydrated will not permit them a place in which to grow. Gnawing sugarless gum also helps keep the mouth wet. Many of us use baking soda to absorb odors in their fridges and rinsing with a spoon in an eight-ounce cup of water will help absorb odors in the mouth. Whilst learning to mend dragon breath may involve a lot of steps, it can begin with a good dental hygiene problem and the realization that the issue exists.

California LASIK surgery is one type of refractive eye surgery, during which an eye surgeon uses a laser to reshape your cornea and correct focusing problems in your eyes.  Although LASIK surgery is becoming less expensive, it’s still a substantial cost and most insurance companies don’t pay for the procedure.  Though it may seem like a daunting and dangerous task, the LASIK surgery is performed on many, many patients on a daily basis.  Unlike Radial Keratotomy which posed many unwanted side effects, LASIK surgery is a safe and effective option.

Procedure

Lasik Vision Correction in California has a good track record — many who undergo the procedure are satisfied with their results.  If you have very thin corneas, you might be a better candidate for LASEK because the procedure allows your doctor to remove less of your cornea.  While it can be a little expensive and most insurance companies don’t cover the cost of the procedure, for many people, the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Risks

Risks of LASIK Surgery – There are several potential complications associated with this procedure that should be discussed with a doctor prior to the procedure.  LASIK surgery carries higher risks if you have: An immune system disease.  But be informed, read and click about as much as you can, so that you understand the benefits and risks associated with Lasik before jumping into surgery.

LASIK surgery is performed while the patient is under a local anesthesia and usually takes about 10 minutes per eye to complete.  Lasik surgery is a popular alternative to wearing glasses or contacts.  The equipment used in California LASIK surgery is more important to the outcome than even the physician’s skill.  Not everyone who wishes to have Lasik surgery is a good candidate.
