A Planet Where Everyone Has A Website

Can you imagine a planet where every single person on the globe has their own personal website? I can. Ive been there. Its called Ruferius and it revolves around one of the stars in the Sirius Dog Star system. Its not like people are exceptionally intelligent or evolved on Ruferius, the thing is its illegal to not have your own website. You see, Ruferians have a strong social ideology based around the idea that no single person should ever be forgotten. Nobody is allowed to fall through the cracks. On Ruferius, they have a very similar motto to that of a small town in the southeast part of the United States of America, a place you wouldnt have heard of, and probably will never even drive through, a place called Snellville, Georgia. Snellvilles town moniker is, Snellville, where everybodys somebody. Well on Ruferius, they take this idea to the next level, and then some.

From the day you are born your parents and ancestors start out your site. General information about where you come from, who you are related to, and your infant habits are related to the rest of the wider community who religiously stay informed about their fellow species. People want and need to know about each other. If you need a house painter, you already know all about the local tradespeople in your area, and importantly, which ones you either have a personal connection with, or suit your particular interior design tastes. Its the same for doctors, lawyers, and schoolteachers.

After you reach a certain age children start to add more and change pages to their site. Thats where a strange kind of beauty comes into the picture. People only know what you tell them of yourself. Oh, you can lie and make out to be someone youre not, but the community is so well connected that as soon as anything facetious is written, others are blogging and commenting on each others sites informing each other of this possible corruption of the truth. In the end, your site becomes a reflection of you, a place where family, friends, and the wider community can learn about what makes you tick as an individual. Whenever you meet anyone on your daily or even holiday travels you can later go into your laptop or palm computer and learn all about them. Then the personal connections start to evolve.

Say youre at a party one day and you meet someone that you are very attracted to, but who you only get a brief chance to talk with as they have prior engagements that they must attend to. As long as you caught their name you can go online and learn all about what kind of person they are. You might find you have similar interests, or that your first impression was totally off the mark. If their character profile does seem interesting to your personality, you can then send them a message straight to their email reminding them of your meeting, and urge them to meet you again.

The amount of information that you choose to share about yourself is totally up to you. You may want to put up photos, a written journal (blog), your favourite music files, favourite Internet links, and even videos about your life. Videoblogs take this to the next level where Ruferians talk to their world via video files. Did I forget to mention podcasting? Talk to your friends or just talk to the world and people can get a sonic glimpse of your personal point of view.

Besides the mandatory personal websites, people revolving around the Dog Star are encouraged to have multiple sites for different purposes. As they are a very entrepreneurial planet, the main type of web site that people voluntarily take part in are ones relating to business, although on Ruferius they call business sharingness. This is because of their strongly held belief that all actions done to better the self should also better the masses. Work is seen as an opportunity to help the world, as well as putting food on the table and a roof over your head. The concept is that if you share your talents and knowledge with others, well get all the necessary jobs done, working together for each other, hence the word, sharingness.

If youve got an idea or skill that you feel could benefit society you make a website for it. Then when others search for keywords related to any specific subject, say skydiving (What are the benefits of skydiving?) your site with your skydiving company will be listed for people to check out. If your price is right and your site has a personable ambience about it, you can bet that soon all the adrenalin junkies in the near vicinity will be making bookings to jump from your plane.

If youre a lonely soul who spends much of your time focussed on your hobby of painting miniature airplanes, you create a website based around your love and soon after youve got other airplane buffs to talk to, meet up with, or even become friends with. This is why there arent any lonely people on Ruferius. Theres always someone else out there who is interested in what you like, no matter how rare your interest is. Gee, on Ruferius theres even a website dedicated to people who paint their pets toe nails. It gets hundreds of page views, people chat in the forums thus forming a mini-community, and sharingness ads are displayed for peoples products related to the sites main subject (like purple hamster #9 sparkle polish). Having the ads displayed on the site means that the site owner can even make a few energy credits (thats what they call money) so that they can get a few more things done, one of which is to pay for the actual hosting of the site on the Internet. This of course is a pittance but the hosting companies are needed to keep things secure and working effectively.

So, what Im now wondering is, Why arent we following in the footsteps of this well-connected, positive-intentioned civilisation? Oh, were already on the way are we? What year will it be when weve all got websites on Earth? Better yet, when are you going to get yours?

If you're familiar with the concept, you will know that an important element is to prepare yourself with the best speed dating questions to ask.

However, if you're unfamiliar with the concept of speed dating, here is a brief outline of the process. A group, usually singles, meet together in a hosted venue. Although initially designed to enable people to meet others of the opposite sex, there are gay speed dating events available.

The basic idea is that each person has a short time to converse with each of the other attendees of the opposite sex (or same at a gay event). The time can be as short as one minute and as long as ten minutes. An average of these events is about three to five minutes. During the time you spend with each person, you ask questions of each other trying to see if there is any 'chemistry' between you.

As you move from person to person, you make notes or have some other way in which to record your initial impressions of the people you've met. At the end of the speed dating event, there is usually time for socialising and to get to know the other attendees better.

It is important that you don't 'clam up' and fail to make the most of the opportunity. As the saying goes, "You never have a second chance to make a good first impression."

Searching on Google for - speed dating questions to ask - will unearth websites which provide useful ideas in helping you to generate a questions list.

What you need to avoid are questions which are too intrusive or indeed simply rude. Remember, you have only met this person for a few minutes. The best type of question to use are called open questions. By this we mean questions which start with what, where, why and how. These type of questions cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. They encourage the person to open up in their answer.

Conversely, closed questions allow the questionee to answer with a yes or no. Closed questions start with words like do you, can you and will you.

So, when working on your speed dating questions to ask, do some homework, follow these simple rules and the person of your dreams might reveal themselves to you.

Tennis Clothes - A Revolution in Style

Tennis clothes have changed drastically in style, fabric, and color over the last 100 years. The first lawn tennis players in England wore formal attire when playing. Standard tennis clothes for women were full-length dresses. Men wore long pants and formal, long sleeve shirts. The tennis clothes of both men and women were entirely white in color. Contrast this formal style with the tennis clothes worn by the tennis players of today. Modern tennis players favor synthetic fabrics, more athletic clothing styles, and a greater variety of colors.

The evolution of tennis clothes has mirrored the changes in everyday fashion. For example, male tennis players in the 1970s and 1980s favored short, tight-fitting shorts and traditional polo shirts. In the late 1990s and 2000s, male tennis players began to wear larger, looser shorts and more casual shirts. In addition, female tennis players of the 1970s and 1980s favored traditional tennis clothes with an updated style. Popular clothing included shortened tennis skirts and dresses. Todays women tennis players wear a variety of tennis clothes, ranging from tennis skirts and dresses to shorts and t-shirts. While tennis players still wear white at more traditional clubs (e.g. Wimbledon), there is a much larger variety of colors in modern tennis clothes.

Another factor contributing to the evolution of tennis clothes is the increased athleticism in the modern game. Tennis is now a high intensity sport, requiring tremendous physical effort and exertion. Tennis players must be able to run, cut, jump, and twist all while executing precise tennis strokes to hit a ball often moving at high speeds. Consequently, comfort is a major concern of players. Modern tennis players prefer tennis clothes that are lightweight, fit well, repel moisture, and are generally comfortable. Tennis clothes that keep the body cool and dry can help players counteract the physical toll that playing tennis, especially in hot weather, can exact.

Advances in clothing technology have also contributed to the evolution of tennis clothes. For years, cotton was the fabric of choice for tennis clothes. In the last few years, however, many tennis apparel makers have introduced garments made of new, synthetic fibers. Tennis clothes made of these synthetic fibers help remove sweat from the skin and clothing by wicking moisture away from the body. Examples of these clothing technologies are Adidass ClimaCool brand and Nikes Dri-FIT. Most professional tennis players and many recreational tennis players now wear tennis clothes made with these new technologies because they keep them cooler and drier than traditional tennis wear.

In conclusion, tennis clothes have seen many changes over the years. While tennis clothes maintain some of their formality and traditional style, modern tennis players value comfort and individual style over tradition. Increased athleticism, advances in technology, and changes in general fashion have greatly affected the tennis clothing industry. In addition, breaking from their traditional roots, tennis clothes have become a medium for personal expression of individual style and important pieces of equipment in an increasingly physical sport.
