Andy Murray the new Fred Perry

Posted by admin | Sport | Wednesday 1 July 2009 11:01 am

Andy was through to the semi-finals today with an impressive display of tennis. The British hope won in straight sets against a former number one Ferrero. Andy shown more skill with serves than his last night game he complained that the roof increased the humidity and he wasn’t able to grip his racket when the roof was used.

The roof is new this year but it has changed the way Wimbledon feels as games can now be carried on if it rains and even into the night. Murray was one of the first players to experience the roof he said it took some getting used to and complained that he wasnt informed soon enough about the conditions he would be playing on. He still however went onto win 3 sets to 2.  The new roof did however go down with the public very well with tennis fans relishing the late games played well after dusk a first in Wimbledon history. Many think that the roof has changed the Wimbledon game for the better with future games being allowed to continue into the night as long as it takes. This will help players so they no longer need to split matches up and continue games the next day if to late or the weather is bad. The roof can be installed in half an hour making the center court at Wimbledon into an indoor court.

Andy Murray the new Fred Perry

Murray won in straight sets in his game today his serves were devastating he won the first two sets easily. His back hand let him down during the beginning of the game but he pulled it back and shored up his backhand in the third set. The pundits said this games against Ferrero would be more difficult however he sailed through the match. He now has two days to recover and get ready for his match in the semi finals.

Murray is the first British player to threaten the Wimbledon finals since Fred Perry early in the century. Andy now sports the Fred perry label the player is making significant income from promotional material and advertising and if he wins he can only be in demand more. His brother was also playing today in mixed doubles.  The sight at center court was electric but if he wins Wimbledon he can be guaranteed to be written into British Tennis history alongside a significant winning payment.

500years king HenryVlll Part1of3

Posted by admin | Henryv111, History | Thursday 30 April 2009 1:48 pm

King HenryVlll was 17 when he was ordained king. He pledged allegiance to his Bishops and church. 25 years later he would amend his ordination speech with his own hand.

His Father King Henry Vll won the tudor wars battle of bosworth ensuring Tudor rule.  But it was Henry’s elder brother arthur that was meant for the thrown.    So Henry never had rigmaroles of kingship knocked into him like his brother. He was brought up at elton palace in company of his mother and sisters this early experience of women’s love would pave the way for his passions and crimes in later life.

Henry was 11 when his brother Arthur died his mother died the very same year. His life changed forever he was the only surviving son of Henry Vll’s and he would be prepared for kingship with discipline knowledge and faith.

His father was fiercely protective he would not let his son joust in competition for good reason. Jousting was dangerous men were killed he would only allow him to take part in unarmed training. So when competition arises Henry would sit on the sidelines and watch as his friends would battle it out like men. This caused a rift between father and son Henry firmly believing in leading from the front by gaining Honour through battle. His father was a veteran of Battle of Bosworth but he was more careful and conservative. Henry was young and took risks.

1509 Henry 7th died King Henry Vlll was now king he immediately impressed an image of his court as King Arthur the round table and helped propagate all the myth and legend of ancient England. He had strong ideas about kingship a great king should be a great warlord. His armour reflected his image as King it helped generate a deadly reputation. Dressed to kill as his armour would have appeared as a true shock and awe tactic futuristic steelwork with so fine a metalwork engraving and steel strength a true shield against 15 century missiles.

His fearsome armour would undoubtedly give strength to his men seeing Henry in his invincible steel body shell administering mighty blows to defeated armys with mere command of his hand. The 16th century King would of strike fear into his subjects and therefore gain respect. His goal was for his subjects to worship him as Gods representative on earth making his role as a Mortal God on earth head of the Church and its wealth. A huge distribution of land happened with the control of land going into more individuals hands redistributing power with land ownership.

But Henry proved one of Englands most famous rulers he was everything a King was meant to be, Feared, demanding and keen to expand englands borders.

Henry would plot a new coarse for england one that stayed with her for 400 years. She turned her back on the might of Catholic Rome and went it alone.

Along with building England into a feared middle age super power. He effected the British isle history by twice down putting scottish rebelions these had a significant influence on Scottish history and therefore the formation of the UK by James 1st (6th Scottish James)

King HenryVlll’s reign was the first to use the technology of printing meaning his subjects seen the king, even when he wasnt. They would bow and salute in accordance with a real meeting. This was very new to the 16 th century mind. The king was everywhere and images of the king were treated with respect as the king himself.

This helped propel Henry to legendary status. It is surely this absolute control that led to the madness that followed in later years.

The multiverse SETI first contact

Posted by admin | SETI | Friday 20 March 2009 2:47 pm

This video gives you a fair idea of the size of our known universe. Each of the fuzzy blobs (Galaxy’s) amounts to around 400 Billion stars. Its a huge number and each galaxy shown has the possibility of life at the very least once, like the Milkyway as far as we can tell.There will be by shear numbers a civilisation on a distant galaxy but we would never be able to tell because their communications wouldn’t reach us for another billion years or so we would only be able to view the star on which this civilisation resides in the past because of the speed of light. The size of our universe makes travel seem like a distant dream because of the speed of light and Einstein insistence that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Until lately with experiments in the quantum world.

The science of the small has revealed a new and strange universe it has opened up a huge new door in our understanding of the universe or multi-verse. Entanglement where two particles communicate instantly has shown that the speed of light rule can be overcome. There has been successful experiments to prove this.

Which leads us back to our advanced civilisation if they were asking the same questions as us “are we alone” Once the had completed a complete SETI program they would conclude the distances were just to big and even if they found a signal the civilization would be have to be transmitting for billions of years and they couldn’t ever send a message. But say this civilisation is more advanced than us. Would they put out a signal to other beings? after millions of years of development a society would feel at ease broadcasting themselves they would have the technology to deal with any threats. Would they send a frequency message like SETI? no because it would take to long and would be void by the time it arrived. If you wanted to contact advanced cultures you would consider that they might understand quantum mechanics and electro dynamics. Wouldn’t you? I would. Mathematics is the only real communication method. So you have the transmitter medium quantum and the language mathematics. I am positive the more we play around the quantum world and investigate entanglement the closer we will be with communicating with other worlds.

The numbers are so huge there has to be other advanced civilisations. Watch the video and remember that every smudge is 400 Billion stars with the x10 planetary body’s Then consider if we are the only fluke.

New SEO tag to avoid duplication issues canonical 301

Posted by admin | SEO | Tuesday 17 February 2009 3:07 pm

The big three search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo) have devised a new tag to deal with canonical issues. For those of you who don’t know about canonical it is effectively a tag to deal with multiple pages with the same content but with different tracking codes. The new tag also helps reduce duplicate content problems.

http://domainname.com/tracking/
http://domainname.com/tracking/?track_code=adwordslink1
http://domainname.com/tracking/?track_code=adwordslink2
http://domainname.com/tracking/?track_code=adwordslink3

Those using Adwords may have come across this where there is a need to track clicks using different landing pages urls but you want all the pages to effectively have the same link value. Adding this tag will help search engines award the correct link values to a page even if links are spread across several URL’s.

Here is how the tag looks it should be placed in the head and will contain one URL all link values would be awarded to the URL stated.

<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://domainname.com/tracking/”/>

Here is a more technical breakdown of how to implement the tag courtesy of yahoo canonical meta tag

From a SEO perspective duplicate content can seriously hurt your sites rankings my by including the canonical tag you can reduce the amount of duplicate content. Just ensure that all duplicate URL’s or pages are under one folder then you can inform search engines using the canonical tag that the content in the folder is meant to be duplicated and the URL you state in the tag will receive all the SEO link power that’s currently spread across the duplicate URL’s and will help your duplicate content penalty issues.

Further note this tag acts like a 301 redirect so all your link power can be saved from being diluted over several dynamic URL’s.
