Viral Tags

Became involved in a Viral Tags Blog Rank Boosting Experiment that I came across in This Is Miracle. The original matrix is here. Copy the matrix, change the Host Tag to the three words that you want to use, and add their tag into the matrix, if it isn't there already.Most importantly, when someone adds a matrix, be sure to add them to your list. Then, spread the word.

Here is the current matrix: Instructions: Important Update - Please read here!

1. Copy and paste the matrix of "ViralTags" below courtesy of Founders Cafe (to support Jimmy's quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a shoestring budget, please consider subscribing to his Full RSS Feed to see his triumphs and struggles in real time).

2. Substitute the Host Tag and one of the "Viral Tags" in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog's URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.

3. When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their "Viral Tags", practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag's anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your "Viral Tags" below.

4. Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as "Host Tag" here, replacing one of the "ViralTags" from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

======== Copy and Paste from Above this line ========

There it is folks. This should help you improve your Technorati ranking, SERP and Google PR. Please leave comment here if you have copied from this matrix so that I can add you just in case your ping back didn't reach me. Technorati sometimes take a longtime to ping back.

Empire Tower Tilting?

Which Empire Tower? Not the one located in New York or Bangkok but the news was about the building located at the junction of Jalan Ampang / Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur.

Not just a rumour but large cracks had appeared on the road side.
Next to Empire Tower, a high class residential tower, My Habitat, is being constructed and it was understood that initial contruction may have affected the road in between this residential tower and Empire Tower.

TV and radio stations have broadcasted it yesterday and said that the situation was under control and occupants in Empire Tower were safe. So, are the tv and radio stations ready to bear the consequences if otherwise happened?

We will see how the main contractor next door is going rectify the situation and what the new owner will do to protect their investment. New owner? Yeah, Empire Tower was recently bought over by Macquarie Global Property Advisors from Asia Pacific Land Bhd, who apparently is the developer for My Habitat.

Somehow, the local newspapers have not highlighted this situation......... wonder why? Kept at low profile to protect rental price or the sale of the new residential tower? Your guess! Some of the photos being released:-

Due to this situation, the building management had initially disallowed tenants to park their cars on the Levels 6 to 9.
Why ah? Afraid that the building may tilt more with the weightage of those hundreds of cars? But the thousands of people in it are heavy too ....... didn't consider that?

Controversial Sports Academy in UK

Many days have passed by and lately I have not heard of any update on Sports Academy to be located at the Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre in Brickendonbury, Hertfordshire, outside London.

Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister, Najib Abdul Razak has said that the Sports Academy would be fully operational by April 2007. I wonder if that's the case now. Even though a town planning consultants, David Lane Associates, have been appointed, invoice raised and presumably paid as well, what's the status now?

From some further readings on this case, it seems that the town planning consultants have changed. Further money be made again to cater for the new consultants?

The funny part was when the DPM quoted that Malaysia's Under-16 team would train with Arsenal. Train they did but against Arsenal's Under-16 team also. A match of three 30 minutes sessions with 2 intervals in between and that was it......... hahahhahahahhahahahhahha..... such a match was hyped up to boost what?????? Ego?

If you want to know more rumours on this controversial sports academy in UK, continue reading Myth or fact? You decide.

The “L” License

A teenager who had just received her learner’s permit for driving offered to drive her parents to church. After a hair-raising ride, they finally reached their destination.

“Thank you!” said the mother as she got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Anytime”, her daughter replied.

As the mother closed the door she said, “I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to God.”

New World Heritage Sites

New World Heritage Sites have been announced by UNESCO:-

The UN has expanded its list of the world's most valuable cultural treasures, adding Australia's Sydney Opera House, described as having lasting architectural influence.

Bomb-damaged Shia Muslim holy sites in the Iraqi city of Samarra were added - and immediately flagged up by Unesco as being in danger.

Lope-Okanda in Gabon was added because of its unusual mix of culture and nature, with rainforest and savannah environments home to a great diversity of animals.

India's Red Fort complex, completed in 1648, was honoured for reflecting Indian history from the Mughal period through to independence.

Twyfelfontein in Namibia, which has one of the largest concentrations of rock carvings in Africa, is the country's first World Heritage site.

The French city of Bordeaux in the south-west also made the list as the location of one of Europe's biggest 18th Century architectural urban areas.

The Diaolou villages in Kaiping, in China's Guangdong province, feature 1,800 fortified tower houses. They were built as a response to banditry in the late 19th and early 20th Century.

The old town of Corfu in Greece also made the Unesco list. Unesco aims to work with national governments to preserve sites of world cultural significance.

Why Wedding Ring on 4th Finger?

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given, though many Legends existed...
* Thumb represents your Parents
* Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
* Middle finger represents your-Self
* Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
* and the Last (Little) finger represents your children
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back. Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (as shown in the pic above).
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!
P.S. Please try this out......... .... ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?

Bahrain Imposes Income Tax of 1%

Bahrain, a small country in the Middle East, enjoying the harvesting results owing to high oil prices has just imposed an income tax of 1% on its citizens. Only 1%?

And just this 1% income tax has triggered the following:-
* Workers in Bahrain are up in arms
* local newspapers inundated with letters protesting the scheme
* country’s trade union federation, the General Federation of Workers' Trade Unions in Bahrain, is reportedly unhappy with the situation

Bahrain is the first GCC nation to impose a tax on working folks. Do you need this uproar? Kuwait is to follow next. Working folks in certain countries are being taxed as high as 30%. This tax increase has something behind as well - it exempts military personnel and local and national elected officials. One thing that the public sector workers may not know yet - part of the agreement was to increase their pay by 15%. Wow!!!! A 1% income tax justifies a 15% pay increment?

Furthermore this income tax revenue would be used for at increasing employment opportunities for nationals and, as well as providing training programmes for job seekers, includes incentives for companies to employ Bahraini citizens such as additional financial and technical and to to fund unemployment benefits for its citizens. Selfish working folks?
