<br />
Pension plans are facing extinction. The "career" paradigm is shifting. With people changing jobs more rapidly than ever before, 401K plans are becoming a thing of the past. An IRA savings account is the logical solution for those who want to plan for their retirement.<br />
<br />
IRA savings accounts are growing in popularity. The shift has been in progress for quite some time. People change or lose jobs frequently. If there was a 401K savings plan associated with said job, the money needs to go somewhere. An IRA savings account is the logical solution.<br />

An IRA savings account is a great way to take control of your retirement plans. Rather than tying your savings into a job that you may or may not stick with, an IRA savings account allows you to maintain your savings portfolio and carry it with you no matter where your employment goals lead.<br />
<br />
Social security is in trouble and consumers are more aware than ever that their ability to support themselves upon retiring is something they need to control. An IRA savings account is a good way to prepare for retirement with a flexible plan that will stay with you regardless of the changes you make in your career path.<br />
<br />
Unemployment is a serious concern for many Americans. Thousands of people lose their jobs every day and there are few sectors which are unaffected by our struggling economy. An IRA saving account is a good way to ensure that you will have money put aside even if there are periods where you are out of work.JD Maderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13058074115809620653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340950757304381428.post-90335190548948231532012-01-18T16:48:00.000-08:002012-01-30T14:15:34.272-08:00Sample #3 - Ghostwriting - Acceptance SpeechThank you very much. I am honored to stand before you today as the recipient of this illustrious award. It is said that hard work is its own reward - and I agree with this sentiment. Don't worry, I'm still going to take the award. (pause) In all seriousness...recognition by one's peers is a compliment that is rivaled only by recognition by one's clients. This award represents both of those things. I would like to express my appreciation, however, not just for this award, but for the hard work of everyone in this room...work that has put me in the position to stand before you today. We are only as good as those around us. I feel lucky to be surrounded by some of the most talented people in our industry.<br />

When I found out about this award a week ago, I told my family first. Carol asked me what I was going to say today. I didn't have an answer. She <i>kept</i> asking, and I still didn't have a good answer. (pause) That is, until yesterday. As many of you know, Steven is currently preparing for the end of his first season of high school baseball. Last night, we were playing catch in the backyard...I know, corny...just wait...it gets worse. (pause) I asked Steven how he felt about the season...as you probably also know, the team didn't do too well. He got this little smile on his face and he shrugged. I asked him again and he said, "we didn't win a lot of games, but I got to play a lot of ball with my friends." (pause)<br />
<br />
Well, not to be competitive, but we <i>are</i> winning. We have exceeded our sales goals. We are profiting while other businesses in our sector flounder. We can take pride in our success and feel for those who are struggling. But most of all, we can be happy. Happy to be part of a team, in good times and in bad. From now on when someone asks me if I'm going to work...or how things are <i>going</i> at work, I will simply say that I am going to play ball with my friends.<br />

<br />
As gas prices rise and more people take to two wheels, motorcycle safety has become a concern for more Americans. The stereotypical motorcyclist of the past is a vanishing breed. The motorcyclist who passes you on the freeway today is just as likely to be a lawyer as an outlaw.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Motorcycle safety affects all of us. Accidents are inevitable, but the results can be horrific or manageable – and it is up to the rider to create a safe environment on our roads. </div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Motorcycle safety starts with the proper training. Courses such as XXXXXXXXX allow a beginning rider to develop basic skills in a controlled environment and under the watchful eye of a trained and seasoned instructor. Motorcycle safety classes begin with the basics, but there are also Advanced Rider courses for riders who feel that their skills must increase if they wish to increase their motorcycle safety. Motorcycle riders now flock to courses all over the country and many benefit financially through discounts in insurance premiums.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Training is an important part of motorcycle safety. Protective gear is also of paramount importance. ATGATT (all the gear, all the time) has become a mantra for proponents of motorcycle safety. With a full face helmet, an armored riding suit, motorcycle-specific boots, and armored gloves, riders can decrease the risk should an accident occur. With many commuting on two wheels, a protective suit also offers a shield from the elements, so riders can arrive at work safe, dry, and dressed professionally - ready for a productive day.</div>JD Maderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13058074115809620653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1340950757304381428.post-35142122427024038712012-01-18T15:51:00.000-08:002012-02-27T21:03:57.422-08:00Sample #1 - SEO article - Developing Literacy Skills<div class="MsoNormal">
E-READERS HELP STUDENTS IN DEVELOPING LITERACY SKILLS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recent studies have shown that the use of e-readers can help students with their developing literacy skills by allowing them to engage text more quickly and effectively. The way we learn is still a mystery, but it has been proven that children read more effectively when a multi-sensory approach is integrated into the quest for reading fluency.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each brain is unique, and each student is different in the way their brain adapts while developing literacy skills. Literacy is a combination of reading fluency and comprehension. In the past, children were given generic primers to hone their skills. The recent proliferation of electronic reading devices has proven invaluable in helping students acquire necessary language skills.</div>

One of the most exciting aspects of e-readers impact on education is the way they can be utilized in working with special needs students. Countless studies have shown that the roadblocks many students face – dyslexia, ADHD, Central Auditory Processing Disorder, etc. – directly impact the ease and comfort with which children develop necessary literacy skills.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">
Many children with more severe challenges such as autism can benefit in developing literacy skills by using an e-reader. The reasons are quite simple. Unlike a conventional book, an electronic book is ‘interactive’. Students can change font size and style. They can change font color. They can even utilize the e-readers ‘speech’ feature to use their auditory processing skills by following along with an automated voice. It has been proven that some students can engage more easily by doing something as simple as changing font size and style.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">
Developing literacy skills in students is cited by many educational experts as the most important foundational step in preparing them for academic success. The sooner students become comfortable with processing written and auditory language, the better they do as they move from basic letter decoding and phonemic awareness to higher order thinking skills such as the ability to infer, predict, and interpret the information with which they are presented.</div>

There are many reasons that parents should be concerned about developing literacy skills in their children – and there are many resources available to the informed parent. Private tutoring centers such as XXXXXXXXXXXXXX can help students individually, one to one, as they work on developing their literacy skills. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3.0pt;">
There is much that can be accomplished at home as well. Something as simple as reading with your child can help in developing literacy skills. This is especially true if parents are engaged and ask questions to help develop higher order thinking skills and comprehensive abilities. E-readers are a relatively inexpensive way that parents can give their students a head start on developing literacy skills.</div>JD Maderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13058074115809620653noreply@blogger.com
