My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this…
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the “3″ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’ out their tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house.
To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a
sign on it saying:
“Free to good home. You want it, you take it.”
For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking
twice at it.
He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read:
“Fridge for sale $50.”
The next day someone stole it !!!
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted….
“Look at that dead bird!”
Someone looked up at the sky and said…”where???”

====================
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
direction was north
because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning.
She asked, “Does the sun rise in the north?”
When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime,
she shook her head and said, “Oh, I don’t keep up with that stuff.”
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center.
One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call
center was open.
I told him, “The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
He responded, “Is that Eastern or Pacific time?”
Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, “Uh, Pacific” . . .
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria,
when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about
the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore.
She drove down in a convertible, but
“didn’t think she’d get sunburned because the car was moving”.
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car
it’s designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk…

====================
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%.
Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases.
The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount….
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman
with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.
My friend said, “Wouldn’t the chain rip out every time she turned her head?”
I explained that a person’s nose and ear remain the same distance apart
no matter which way the head is turned…
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
I couldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area.
So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my
bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained
professional and I was in good hands.
“Now,” she asked me, “has your plane arrived yet?”…
Caution…They Walk Among Us!
====================
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go.
He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut
into 4 pieces or 6.
He thought about it for some time before responding.
“Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
YEP, Caution…They Walk Among Us too !!!!

A New York Police Department detective has broken his silence about the connection between Rabbi Meir Kahane’s murderer and the terrorists who destroyed the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. |
| Political activist Rabbi Meir Kahane was murdered after a speech in Manhattan by an Egyptian-born al-Qaeda terrorist in 1990, but because no one actually saw al-Sayed Nuseir pull the trigger, he was acquitted of the crime and was instead convicted on a lesser charge of possession of an illegal weapon. Three years later, Kahane’s murderer helped lead the terror cell which attacked the World Trade Center in 1993.
At the time, the theory that Kahane’s murder had been part of a terror conspiracy was discounted by federal investigators. NYPD Detective John Molleli knew better, however, having been the first to find and examine the papers in Nuseir’s apartment. Boxes of notebooks and other papers written in Arabic, complete with diagrams, revealed the existence of a terrorist cell operating in the New Jersey – New York area. The papers included plans to attack a number of targets in New York City, including the World Trade Center. Kahane was considered a troublemaker who promoted an unpopular view that Arabs who lived in Israeli territory should be encouraged to move out of the country. According to a program on Israel’s Channel 2 TV, the evidence was ignored because Kahane was the victim in the case, and it was quickly removed to the offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The documents were largely ignored until the 1993 terror attack on the Twin Towers, in which six people died and 100 were injured. At that time, the boxes confiscated from Nuseir’s apartment were finally opened and closely examined, and the Arabic was translated. Nuseir was later convicted as a co-conspirator of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman for the 1993 bombing, as well as conspiracy to attack New York landmarks and assassinate U.S. politicians. Both men were sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus 15 years. It was only after that trial that Nuseir was also convicted of murdering Kahane as part of the “seditious conspiracy.”Nuseir continued to manage the affairs of the al-Qaeda terror cell that continued to operate in the U.S. and on September 11, 2001 succeeded in completing the job it attempted in 1993, the destruction of the World Trade Center. |
A recent study showed that a majority of companies (64%) fail to implement some or all of their SEO company’s recommendations. According to the study the primary reasons company’s failed to implement the recommendations provided by their SEO were as follows:
- 33.6% - Lack of human resources to implement the change
- 16.8% - Lack of outsourced IT budget
- 15.4% - Timing/frequency of update issues
- 9.4% - Upper management decisions not to implement the recommendations
- 8.7% - Agency failed to prioritize specific recommendations
- 8.7% - Lack of agency implementation support
- 8.1% - Branding issues/restrictions
- 8.1% - Unpredictable ROI if changes were implemented
- 6.7% - Other reasons
- 6.0% - Predicted ROI did not justify such changes
- 3.4% - Agency failed to education company on the required resources to implement recommendations
If you look closely at that list, most of the reasons cited for not implementing SEO changes can easily be remedied and eliminated by making one simple change: Hire an SEO that will make the changes themselves, rather than submitting a list of recommendations.
That’s the big issue here, many SEOs simply do not make SEO changes for their client but instead they provide a list of changes that the client must make in order for the SEO campaign to be successful. No wonder why so many SEO campaigns miss the mark on success.
Let’s look at that list again after removing factors involving the client having to implement the recommendations themselves.
- 9.4% - Upper management decisions not to implement the recommendations
- 8.1% - Branding issues/restrictions
- 6.7% - Other reasons
Reasons for SEO not being able to be properly implemented on a site will always crop up over the course of a campaign. Sometimes it’s technological issues with how the site is designed, other times it’s client preferences on how the changes should be implemented.
For security reasons, some client’s refuse to allow their SEO access to their site. That’s fair, and certainly their right to do so, but that company must also take on the responsibility of making all such changes and bear the blame if the results of the SEO campaign are less than expected.
This makes a strong argument toward selecting an SEO provider that does more than simply provide recommended changes, but actually implements those changes for their clients. Excuses for lack of SEO implementations can be significantly minimized and in many cases eliminated when the client gives the SEO the responsibility of implementing all the optimization changes themselves. This removes the client from the process allowing for faster implementation of more changes for increases ranking results.
Before selecting an search engine marketing company, you need to do a little internal and external research. Are you willing to give the SEO access to your site to make the changes necessary that will produce results? If so, be select an SEO that includes implementation as part of their optimization services. Not only will that save you time and money, it will also ensure that your SEO campaign can and will be more effective.
