Making Money with Articles: Becoming an Affiliate

If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who “click through” from your website via the company’s links that are placed on your pages. Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again. Although many affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers. If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there are many ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate website. There are many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you want, what product you are trying to sell, and what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested and informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no one else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites, plus the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic. There are many products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product and deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your chosen company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your website so that they have a chance to see your recommendations and click on your affiliate links. Word Count 446 PPPPP

Going in Reverse Can Be the Right Direction

Returns management can offer significant cost savings for manufacturers. By David Blanchard For consumer goods and high-tech manufacturers, as well as their retail customers, Christmas isn't necessarily the most important time of the year. In fact, it's Christmas returns season that is make-or-break for many of these companies, says Curtis Greve, principal of Greve Davis, a company specializing in reverse logistics and aftermarket services. "Your ability to process the tidal wave of returns during the first quarter of the year will have a big impact on your company's bottom line," he says. There are at least 100 billion reasons for companies to take product returns seriously, since that's how much it costs U.S. manufacturers and retailers every year in lost sales, transportation, handling, processing and disposing of goods. Since 2007, the cost of returned consumer electronics has skyrocketed by 21%, reaching $17 billion last year. In a recent survey conducted by Accenture, 43% of the electronics manufacturers polled say that product return rates have increased since 2007, and only 12% say returns are trending downward. One might think this high rate of returns is indicative of customer dissatisfaction, with the problem being largely one of defective or substandard products. Not so, says Mitch Cline, managing director of Accenture's electronics and high-tech group. Only 5% of all returns are due to product defects. While another 27% are because of "buyer's remorse," by far the main reason why products are returned can be summed up in the phrase "no fault found," with 68% testing out fine after being returned. As Tony Sciarrotta, director of asset recovery at Philips Consumer Lifestyle, a manufacturer of TVs and other appliances, points out, "no fault found" is no longer considered a product issue, but rather, a customer experience issue. And that puts the responsibility for reducing returns squarely on the shoulders of the manufacturer. One of the ways that Philips has improved its returns management has been addressing the problem at the design stage of the product, focusing on ease of use and interoperability, with the goal of making the products more customer friendly. Also, every Philips division now has a formal returns department, with bonus programs in place to encourage reduction in returns at every level. Accenture's analysis indicates that by reducing the number of "no fault found" returns by just 1%, a typical large high-tech manufacturer could save $21 million per year in return and repair costs. "These high consumer electronics return rates are unsustainable in a sector with brutal competition and thin margins," Cline points out. Manufacturers, he suggests, should help consumers "understand, set up, use and optimize the products they purchase. Most companies invest considerable sums to manage returns but need to refocus their strategies on proactively preventing returns through customer education and aftermarket support." The payoff can be significant. Hitachi America, a manufacturer of HDTVs, has developed a Service Call Avoidance program, which relies on an outsourced call center to handle complaint calls from consumers. The program is part of an ongoing effort to improve first-call completion rate, the percentage of customer complaints that can be solved on the first call. As a result of the program, the first-call completion rate has climbed from under 60% to over 90%, with 33% fewer service call referrals overall. While many manufacturers use the services of third parties specializing in reverse logistics, some are opting for a more direct route: either partnering with or acquiring outright providers of returns and asset recovery services. Avnet Inc., for instance, an electronics distributor, recently acquired Canvass Systems, a provider of remarketing, refurbishment and asset disposal services. Similarly, Ingram Micro, an electronics and IT distributor, has begun offering IT asset disposition services to its channel partners, thanks to a collaborative effort with U.S. Micro, a provider of IT recycling services.

Drafting Tools - Snap and Grid

We've got snap and grid in AutoCAD. Let's talk about snap and grid. Let's see how we can use it and why we would use it. Snap restricts the cursor movements to specified intervals. That is handy. Lines will have a specific length. Still. If you're using object snaps than you can pick a point that is not on an interval that has been specified. We'll talk about object snap later. With grid switched on dots are displayed in the screen. The dots help to visualize distances. Often the grid interval is the same as the snap interval. That is important. You can have grid dots displayed in the screen. Now you want to print your drawing. The dots are not printed. OK. We know what snap and grid are. But we want to know more. We want to know how we can set the intervals and how we can switch it on and off. Let's start with setting the intervals. There are two ways for doing that. Whatever way you choose. You do it over the Drafting Settings dialog box. Click on Tools in the menu bar. A pull down menu shows up. In the pull down menu click on Drafting Settings. The Drafting Settings dialog box is displayed. There are four tabs in the Drafting Settings dialog box. The Snap and Grid tab is in front. That's exactly what we want. In the dialog box we see two check boxes and we see four areas. The checkboxes can be used for switching on or off snap and grid. Let's have a look at the Snap area and the Grid area. First the Snap area. In that area you can enter values for the spacing. You can enter a value for the X spacing and you can enter a value for the Y pacing. The spacing set the interval I was talking about. There is more you can do in that area. You can enter an angle, an X base, and a Y base. The angle gives the angle of the snap intervals. Most of the time you do not change the angle. You leave the angle at zero. But the X base and the Y base. What's that? The X base and the Y base gives the starting point of the snap. As before. Do not change it. Leave it as it is. At zero. You now know how you can do the settings for the snap. You do it in the Snap area of the Drafting Settings dialog box. But we can also do something with the settings of the grid. That is done in the Grid area of the dialog box. This time we can do less. We can only change the X spacing and the Y spacing. We cannot change the angle or the X base and Y base of the grid. This is what is done most of the time. Most of the time the spacing for the grid is the same as the spacing for the snap. That is what is happening. The grid follows the snap settings for angle and the X base and Y base. So there is no need to change those settings. This is what we now saw. You can do the settings of the snap and the grid in the Drafting Settings dialog box. And you can switch them on and off. Before I continue. I must tell you about the third area in the Drafting Settings dialog box. It is the Snap style and type area. For the snap type we can set Grid snap and we can set PolarSnap. If we go for a Grid snap type then e can select a rectangular snap or an isometric snap. If you're creating isometric drawings, then you want to go for an isometric snap. The snap will have the isometric angles. I'm not going to talk about PolarSnap now. I will do that later. I will do that as we're talking about Polar Tracking. In the next article. But there is another way. Look at your screen. Do you see the status bar? In the status bar there are two buttons. In the status bar there is the Snap button and there is the Grid button. You can click on the buttons. To have snap and grid switched on and off. Something else you can do with the buttons. You can right click them. If you do a short cut menu is displayed. If you right click the Snap button then you'll find the following options in the shortcut menu: -PolartSnap On -Grid Snap On -Off -Settings If you right click on the Grid button then you'll find the following options in the shortcut menu: -On -Off -Settings You can imagine where the on and off options stand for. Those options can be sued to switch snap and grid on or off. But we already saw. There is a quicker way. We can also click on the Snap and Grid buttons in the status bar. In fact. There is another quick way. You can press the F7 function key to switch grid on or off. And you can press the F9 function key to switch snap on or off. Oh. In the shortcut menu under the Snap button you also see the PolarSnap On option. As I said before. We'll talk about it alter. But there is the Settings option in the shortcut menus under the Snap button and the Grid button. Click on that option. If you do the Drafting Settings dialog box is opened. We already have seen what can be done in the Drafting Settings dialog box. But this is what we now know. Using the shortcut menu under the Snap and Grid button. That is a quicker way to open the Drafting Settings dialog box. This is it for today. Now you know everything that you need to know about snap and grid. Tomorrow we're going to talk about polar tracking. See you tomorrow.

New Way of Creating AutoCAD Drawings

You can sue this way. If you're creating 2D drawings and 3D drawings. If you follow this way, you're saving a lot of time. The new way of creating CAD drawings is all about creating a 3D drawing first and then using that drawing to create your 2D drawing. In this course is explained how it is done. More. There is even explained how you can add dimensions to your 2D drawing. Let's make a good start. We start with creating a 3D drawing. It's going to be a simple drawing. But that doesn't matter. We open AutoCAD. We start with a new drawing. We draw a rectangle. The size of the rectangle is 200 by 100. And we draw a circle. The comes is drawn in the left side of the rectangle. The diameter of the circle is 100. It fits nicely in the rectangle. This is the base of the 3D drawing. Let's extrude the rectangle and the circle. We give them a height of 50. And a taper angel of zero. We now have two 3D objects. Let's make one 3D object. We use the UNION command. You know that command. You know what to do. To see the 3D model clearly we go to a 3D view of the drawing. Next we save the drawing. Give it the name 3D drawing.

Engineering and Production Drawings

Engineering drawings and production drawings are different, and understanding the difference is important. In larger electronics manufacturing companies with specialized departments and mature procedures there is typically a good understanding of the difference between engineering drawings and production drawings. In smaller companies, however, this distinction can be lost and the wrong sort of information can end up on the wrong drawings. Or worse, the distinction between the two sets of drawings can be lost as a company struggles to manage with only one set. This article clarifies the difference between the two types of drawings, and shows how putting information in the proper place brings benefits. ENGINEERING DRAWINGS For an electronic product, the Engineering drawings define what the product should be. The engineering drawing set is produced by the Engineering department, and is the final output of the research, design and development phase of a project. The engineering drawing set includes schematics, printed circuit board layouts, bills of material, drawings for mechanical parts and assembly drawings. The engineering drawings set is a complete specification of what the finished product is. Every aspect of the product that is important to the form, fit and function of the product is specified. Any product, however manufactured, that is consistent with the engineering drawing set is acceptable PRODUCTION DRAWINGS Production drawings show how to manufacture the product. In a medium or large sized organisation there will typically be a production engineering department. Production engineers take the engineering drawings and decide how best to manufacture the product described by the drawings in their factory. They produce a set of production drawings that detail the task to be performed, the equipment to be used, the order tasks are to be performed in and the procedures to be followed. These drawings are used by the shop-floor workers in their day-to-day activities. Machine operatives, production line workers and supervisors all use the production drawings as a reference for how to go about manufacturing the product. For example, if the engineering drawings called for a screw to be tightened to a particular torque, the production drawings would typically detail which tool is to be used to tighten the screw, and how it should be calibrated. If the screw is in an awkward place the drawings might also specify that this tightening is to be done early in the assembly procedure, before access becomes restricted. DIFFERENT FACTORIES, DIFFERENT DRAWINGS As such, the production drawings typically include information that is specific to the particular factory. One factory will have different tools and machines than another and the production drawings will reflect this. More dramatically, a factory located in the first world will place a premium on labour and will avoid labour intensive processes. A factory in the developing world might choose very different assembly methods, preferring labour intensive Engineering - What Production – How methods that avoid the need to purchase expensive machines. Products produced in either factory are acceptable as long as they meet the specifications of the engineering drawings. WHICH DETAILS BELONG WHERE It is easy to fall in to the trap of putting too much detail on engineering drawings, in an attempt to be helpful. For example, the designer of the component with the screw that needed to be tightened might realise that the screw is in an awkward place and specify on the engineering drawings that the tightening operation is to be done early in the assembly process. But suppose the factory where the product is made only had a particular type of right-angled torque driver. It might actually be more convenient for them to tighten the screw later on, when they can get at it from the side. By imposing the unnecessary restriction the engineer might have just made the product more expensive. The key questions when considering if something belongs on an engineering drawing are "Is the proposed specification something that can be observed in the finished product? Would a product be unacceptable if this specification were not followed?" In the example of the screw the answer is that the torque specification is important and measurable. You can look at a finished widget and measure the torque of the screw and say whether it is acceptable. The torque specification, if it is important to the correct operation of the widget, properly belongs on the engineering drawing. On the other hand, you can say nothing from looking at the finished widget about which tool might have been used to tighten the screw or when the tightening might have been done. These things do not affect the finished widget and thus do not belong on the engineering drawings. WHY TWO SETS Separating production information from the engineering drawings brings advantages to the engineering department too. Every engineer is familiar with the Project That Will Not Die. The project he worked on five years ago but about which he is still compelled to make mundane decisions every other week. Decisions that have nothing to do with the engineering specifications of the product, but rather concern production details. This problem is especially acute in smaller companies without a dedicated production engineering department, where all the information about both engineering and production details is on one set of drawings. Every mundane production problem requires the involvement of engineering staff to modify the drawings. Avoid this problem by maintaining separate engineering and production drawing sets. The engineering drawings will rarely change and the expensive engineers can work on developing new products. The production drawings, which typically change more frequently as problems arise or new equipment is introduced, can be maintained by the production staff. CONCLUSION Maintaining a clear distinction between engineering and production drawings, and ensuring that everyone understands which information belongs where brings benefits to both the engineering and production functions, both in time and cost.

What does two-point perspective look like?

example drawing two point perspective Perspective in real life is a complicated affair; most of us can roughly sketch things so they look about right, but being very precise is tricky, because objects are at all kinds of angles. So to help us understand how perspective works without going completely crazy, we 'construct' perspective using just one or two simple objects, aligned in the same direction. When you come to drawing freehand, you can 'translate' this approach to drawing objects in your picture one at a time. You don't usually use detailed construction methods, but what you've learned from this approach helps you to recognize whether your sketch is accurate. So what does our subject look like when we're going to do a two-point drawing? In this type of perspective, we are viewing the object or scene so that we are looking at one corner, with two sets of parallel lines are moving away from us. Remember that every set of parallel lines has its own vanishing point. To keep it simple, two-point, as the name implies, uses two - each pair of horizontals (the top and bottom edge of a building, box or wall) will diminish towards the left or right vanishing point, while the remaining set of parallel lines, the verticals, are still straight up-and-down (we only worry about those when we're doing three-point perspective!). It sounds a bit confusing, but you don't need to be able to explain it - just understand how it should look, and by following the steps, you'll find it surprisingly easy to draw. Just remember: the verticals stay straight up and down, while we 'vanish' the left and right sides towards a vanishing point.

Engineering Drawing Software

By an eHow Contributor Engineering drawing software, like Auto-CAD or Solid Works, enables engineers and drafters to spend more time creating and innovating mechanical or electrical drawings. Most engineering drawing software comes with a library of parts or components ready to drag and drop onto the screen. The importance of engineering drawing software is the time it can save in creating drafts for engineers, scientists, technicians and drafters. Of equal importance is the coherency of the drafts that it can produce. With applications like Solid Works, drafters can create three-dimensional drawings that are more interactive than the older drawing programs. Aside from drawing schematics and blow-up diagrams, engineering drawing software may include flow charts and process diagrams. These types of drawings are done using Microsoft Visio. Some companies have developed entire assembly procedures and parts descriptions for manufacturing using only Visio, and a little bit of programming. Engineering artwork and drafts are often stored and accessed by computer data bases, such as Oracle. Read more: Engineering Drawing Software | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_4761869_engineering-drawing-software.html#ixzz1yIitrTNN History • The earliest engineering drawing software is the world-renowned CAD (computer aided drawing) application. CAD was originally a two-dimensional drawing program with very limited drawing tools, consisting of circles and simple line drawing tools. Today, CAD includes extensions like Wire Frame to allow for the creation of three-dimensional drawings. M Types • There are a number of engineering drawing software applications. Mechanical computer-aided design software (MCAD) is used primarily by mechanical engineers. Solid Works is one of the most popular mechanical drawing software programs. File formatting is saved in Microsoft Structured Storage. This format includes multiple files nested in one another, including previews, images and metadata files. Those who do the drawing are usually drafters or technical illustrators. Engineers spend more time analyzing drawings and crunching numbers. Graphing/ visualization applications are used to render scientific data into a coherent drawing. Engineers convert data into visual graphs that work with relational databases and reference documents. Graphs and drawings can then be stored in an online analytical processing model (OLAP). OLAP is accessed in multidimensional views by a shared network of scientists, engineers, drafters, and technicians. Tecplot helps engineers draw out dynamic data maps. Tecplot has been used in creating 3D graphs for invisible structures such as magnetic fields and bio-engineering models. Auto CAD is still the most widely used engineering drawing software. Utilizing C++ code allows engineers and drafters to customize CAD objects, resulting in more accurate and flexible drawings. For Mac and Linux, QCAD is the popular engineering drawing software. Read more: Engineering Drawing Software | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_4761869_engineering-drawing-software.html#ixzz1yIj9GLUk Significance • The visual aspect of drawing software is a key component in assembly instructions for engineering/manufacturing companies. None of the products we use today could be manufactured accurately without engineering drawing software. Drawings are fixed point for accuracy and scaled. This means that size and dimension is scaled down (or up) for printing to paper or an electronic medium. A scaled technical drawing is a representation of something with physical dimensions. Without scaling, all drawings would have to match the exact size of the object being represented. considerations • Three-dimensional drawing programs were developed to speed up design processes in engineering. One problem that comes from engineering drawing software is the subject of simulations. Simulation-type drawings are useful for training personnel in hazardous environments, such as manufacturing facilities where dangerous chemicals are handled. Simulation drawings are time-consuming to create, though, and may actually inhibit productivity in the long run. Drawings are more likely used in place of simulations. Use • A common use for engineering drawing software is in creating documentation for an engineering group. For example, a mechanical engineer puts together three-dimensional components for a new product prototype. An electrical engineer would then draw out a two-dimensional plan for power distribution in the new product. Technical illustration software or CAD is used to draw the two-dimensional plan. In the case of an electronic file, the engineer or drafter will insert hyperlinks in the three-dimensional plan, which link to a two-dimensional electrical plan for the new product. Modern engineering drawing software, including Visio, has intelligent objects that have been preprogrammed to align on the computer screen and connect lines where it is reasonable to do so. The illustrator or drafter moves objects around more than actually drawing. Future applications • One area of technology that is opening the way to the future of engineering drawing is virtual reality. Virtual drawings enable engineers to visit inside space stations of the future, project problems with their designs and improve an existing design without ever leaving the office. In the real world, Ford Motors has used virtual reality to step inside a drawing of an automobile. Virtual drawings can aid engineers in finding defects before a product has gone to the market. In fact, engineers can utilize virtual drawings to determine the best assembly procedures before the first prototype reaches the assembly line. The use of virtual drawings can save a company money and increase the speed of the design process significantly.

An Open Letter to Inventors

Dear Inventor, I'm pleased about your invention. I'd love to hear more about it, but first, let me say congratulations! and offer a little advise. I've seen lots of cool inventions -- even with patents -- go nowhere. I don't want to see that happen to you. That's right, odds are overwhelmingly against you, but you can succeed in spite of all the negativity. To help you with that, here are some things to consider. First, some people think: Invention = Get Rich. Well, it can, but more likely, it means "get poor trying", or hopefully, a reasonable return after lots of sweat. Set your sights reasonably. There are great stories, but most are exceptions. Second, find the right people to help you. That may mean letting go of some ego that makes it "yours", but do it. It's better to be successful with some close associates than to be rich and lonely (or worse, poor and lonely). Stick your neck out and trust someone. Third, (related to the Second), gracefully receive input. It's far easier to critique, than to create. You've already created, so let others critique. Don't be defensive about it -- instead, learn from their viewpoint. Your product will be better for it. Avoid the NIH Syndrome. Finally, Open your mind to new ways of thinking. You have lots of new phrases and acronyms to learn (like Intellectual Property, CIP, NDA, Product Development, etc.). It can be fun, so enjoy the ride. Well, that's about it. I've attached a few things below -- just to think about. I wish you the very best of luck with your invention. Sincerely,

Making Money with Articles: What Kind of Experience Do I Need?

When you are trying to make money with articles, the beauty of it is that you don’t really need previous career related experience and that you can learn the ropes as you go. That being said, there are some skills that you will need to teach yourself or pick up along the way to make your sites successful. You can’t go in not knowing anything, not learning anything, and still expect to make a good income (or any income at all). First, you will need to know how to pick out the correct articles to make your sites successful. There are many types of content, from free content to high dollar content, and each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages (although high dollar content is more likely to give you a successful site in the end). Second, you will need to know how to choose keywords that can help you get a good amount of traffic, without being too competitive to get on the first or second page. If you choose highly competitive keywords that are used by large, mammoth website, you are likely to never get up to those much needed first two pages. Third, you will need to know how to optimize your websites for various search engines. Search engine optimization skills will allow you to get high rankings for your chosen niche keywords, which will help to get visitors and make profit. Fourth, if you opt for a large website that you will focus most of your internet marketing career on, you will also need to know how to market your website to your intended audience through paid banner ads and text links. If you prefer very small 2-5 page niche sites, then promoting all of them this way will not be cost effective and will eat up more profits than it is worth. If you can capture some of these skills and attack them aggressively during your first few small websites or the first few months of a larger website, then you will eventually become an expert. Since you can learn the ropes first hand on your own, the only thing that you will need to do before you begin your new career is to read up on how to get started (maybe purchase an internet marketing e-book or two) and make sure that you have the funds available to start a small site.

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing or Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing?

There are two systems, versions, or flavors of GD&T. The first version was released in North America and is called Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). This version of GD&T is developed and maintained by ASME, specifically their Y14.5 subcommittee. The ASME GD&T system is used throughout the world, but it is the primary GD&T standard in North America. Many multi-national corporations use ASME Y14.5 (ASME Y14.5M-1994 or ASME Y14.5-2009) as their GD&T standard worldwide for all of their international operations. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) also has a version of GD&T, which they call Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). The ISO GD&T standard is part of the Global Product Specification (GPS) series of standards produced by ISO technical committee TC213. Note that there are many standards that make up the ISO GPS system. Some ISO dimensioning standards are developed by a different ISO technical committee, ISO TC10. In the ASME system, there is essentially one dimensioning and tolerancing standard, ASME Y14.5-2009, accompanied by perhaps 8 other core standards needed for line types, lettering, modeling and related techniques. In the ISO system there are scores of standards for dimensioning and tolerancing, and scores more for modeling and related techniques. There are differences between the ASME and ISO systems; some differences are visually apparent, and other differences are much more subtle. We are experts and active in the development of both systems. Contact us for help with either system or to better understand the differences between the systems. These differences are becoming more critical as we move to an ever-more global supply chain. Although GD&T is a science of the details, it must also be understood in the context of the big picture. We also explore the implications of Dimensioning and Tolerancing Schemes outside of design, on the rest of our clients’ companies and supply chain, helping them to understand the tradeoffs in cost and quality they make when selecting various Tolerancing Schemes. We bring dimensional management strategies into your company and help you manage variation between departments, divisions, between internal and external organizations, and across the supply chain. Bryan R. Fischer, President of Advanced Dimensional Management LLC is an ASME Certified Senior Level GD&T Professional, a support group member of the ASME Y14.5 standards sub-committee responsible for GD&T and Dimensioning and Tolerancing in the United States, and works with several ISO committees working on dimensioning and tolerancing and GD&T. He is a member of ISO TC184/SC4 and actively involved in development and implementation of ISO data modeling and ISO GPS standards. He is actively involved with the development of the next generation of these important standards and recognized as one of the leading experts in this field.

Google Adsense: Computer Knowledge and Direct Deposit

Do I Need to be Computer Savvy to Use Google Adsense? You don’t have to be a techno-geek to use Google Adsense. In fact, you don’t need any more technical knowledge than you do to surf the web. Google Adsense is very user-friendly with a comprehensive support site to answer any question you might have. You are first walked through the sign-up process where you are prompted for any and all information needed. You will then have a couple of days while you are waiting for your account to be approved. This would be a good time to familiarize yourself with the program policies, which of course you read before you signed up. But look again. Make sure the site you are registering doesn’t have any of the no-nos listed. For instance, some profanity is allowed, but nothing excessive. What is excessive? That could be a gray area, but if you’re in doubt, don’t register that site. There’s plenty of sites with little or no profanity. Look at the support site while you are waiting on Google Adsense and see what other’s are saying and doing. Most of all, have fun. Your Google Adsense dollars are just waiting to be counted. Does Google Adsense Offer Direct Deposit? Google adsense offers various payment options for publishers. Electronic Funds Transfer (ETF) is offered in 16 countries whereby your payments are deposited directly into your bank account in your local currency. Check Google Adsense support to see which countries participate in this option. You will need to sign up for this option after your application is approved by signing into your account. You then click the edit link adjacent to the payment header. After you fill out the bank information, Google Adsense will make a small test deposit into your account. This is for security purposes to assure the account is really your own. Watch your account for the test deposit to post, usually within just a few days. After you have received the deposit from Google, log back in to your account and in the Payment Details section, click Verify Account. You then will need to enter the amount of the test deposit. If you do not complete this step, your payments will be on hold. Once you enter the test deposit amount correctly, your bank will be approved and selected as your form of payment.

bandstand designed and built by students with the support of RIBA London has been unveiled at the Southbank Centre in London

The project is one of many additions to the riverside arts venue revealed this week as part of a centre’s Festival of the World programme running until 9 September. RIBA London looked to students after it was commissioned to design, build and install the structure as part of the venue’s summer festival programme for the second year running. Six students – Anisah Bhayat, Ricky Kwok, Wing-Shun Tang, Simon Phung,Robert Leather, Kirsty Smith – worked with RIBA London, StudioAR and last year’s bandstand designers to realise the project. RIBA London director Tamsie Thomson said: ‘During the recession many students are finding it difficult to gain the experience needed to progress to the next stage of their education. ‘This collaboration between RIBA London and the Southbank Centre allows us to help six students demonstrate their creative ability on a structure that will be seen by millions over this summer. It will go a long way to helping their careers during this difficult economic climate.’ Other installations at the riverside arts complex – which features the Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery and Queen Elizabeth Hall – include a rooftop temporary restaurant by Milan-based Park Associati and a giant Baobab tree by Pirate Technics. Andrew Lock from Lyn Atelier, in partnership with TILT design studio has also completed a ‘Festival Village’ social space beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall for the 4,000 artists working on the 8.5 hectare site this summer. Jude Kelly, Southbank Centre artistic director said: ‘Our Festival champions the idea that art holds the key to unlocking the imagination and can be a powerful agent for social change by highlighting projects that are transforming lives. ‘From across all continents, we are bringing together thousands of artists involved in working with and inspiring communities in a vastly eclectic range of projects, activities, performances and exhibitions.’
