Ten years ago, pool or billiards was generally considered a game played in seedy under-lit pool halls infused in thick cigarette smoke with shady characters of all stripes betting on a languid parlor game. The movie, The Color of Money starring Tom Cruise and the late Paul Newman, whose role of a veteran pool shark won for him his only Academy acting award, confirmed in the mind of the public the dubious character of pool. It takes a lot of skill to play pool and in equal measure plenty of light to play it properly. Hence, pool table light is important in this game.

With its newfound respectability, you can see pool games in ESPN and the best players earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and more on product endorsements. You will notice these games aired on TV that the pool halls are very well lighted, which is pretty similar to indoor basketball games at night.

A pool table light will serve to provide sufficient luminescence for the playing surface, the billiard balls, the cue stick, and everything involved in the game to be visible. They can also create an environment intensifying the playing experience and the surrounding adornments. Because of longstanding prejudices, many conceptualized that an old ceiling light fixture is adequate to illuminate the pool table and everything else on it.

But just liken in any work activity, a focused source of light along with the ambient lighting given off by flush-mount or semi-flush ceiling fixtures are needed. This will illuminate the playing surface better and maybe even improve play. The added balance to the subtle style of the decor is a bonus.

Direct and indirect lighting fixtures are no same matters entirely. When you play the game of pool, this needs utilization of direct luminescence. A blinding spotlight over the pool table is not necessary for this purpose, illumination on the playing surface that does not cause glare or eye strain is what is necessary.

Typical lightings such hanging lamps or pendants are most suitable for pool tables. With the basic design of pool tables being long and narrow, the lights must match the design. A billiard lamp as long as a billiard table is desired, but pool tables usually measuring eight feet long, is not practical. A small light fixture over a pool table light blends well in this part of the game.

Just be sure that the light is at the center over the table. Players want see clearly the corner pockets in this game of angles. Shadows that smaller pool table light fixtures cause affect the outcome of the game, besides producing a gloomy atmosphere that harks back to the seedy period of this sport.

Introduction – If you are still learning about search engine optimization (SEO), you are probably a bit confused about the difference between on-site and off-site SEO strategies.

On-site tactics are more straight-forward for the beginner and are probably written about the most. I thought I would write an article and cover what I’ve learned. This pool of SEO knowledge comes from working with about 10 clients and another 10 personal web sites over an 18 month period.

To anyone with an SEO background, there are certain basic on-site SEO tasks that any web master, business owner, or Internet Marketer needs to be aware of. These include the following major components:

1) Title Tags – The title tag in your HTML meta code is the tag that tell the browser what to display in the title of the window at the very top of the screen. Because this text is so visible to the user, Google likes to rely heavily on this text as a clue as to what your page is about. As a result, it is a really important SEO strategy that your title tag be filled with keywords that are appropriate to the content of the web page. Furthermore, you really don’t want the same title tag on every page. This is not good for SEO. Instead, you want to have different keyword phrases in your title tags that properly identify the theme of that particular page. Remember, you are trying to help the search engines easily digest your content. That’s basically what SEO is. You want to aid them in their understanding of what this page is really about.

2) The first H1 tag – Similar to the title tag, Google will look at the first H1 text to appear on your page as a strong signal as to what the page is about. Use it wisely. Again, you want to place keyword phrases here that are thematically related to what the information on the page is conveying to the end-user.

3) The name of the page itself – As you name your pages in your web site, use plain English as much as possible for SEO. You will notice that WordPress uses this extensively in their blog software. This is no accident and WordPress is considered the best blog for SEO. For example, http://example.com/?On-Site-vs-Off-Site-SEO-tactics&AID=22 will perform much better for SEO than http://example.com/?AID=22. Why? Because there is descriptive text in the longer version of the page name that helps the search engine know what the page is about. Many people have written about issues around “dirty links” and SEO (links including system variable data such as AID=22 in the example above). I think it is better if you can design your system without any variable data at all. It just takes this SEO issue away. And it’s just easier for the search engines. It’s also easier for the end-user. However, there is no problem promoting pages via SEO with variable data in the links. I’ve been able to make both fly using the same SEO tactics with no problems. The search engines are smart enough by now to manage through that variable data. Just make sure your plain English is in there.

Frbiz.com, one of China’s leading B2B search platforms, analyzes 2009 urea market trend.

The overall urea market in China is still quite weak; prices have gone down a little. Recently urea’s ex-factory price has been about 1,480 – 1,600 RMB, and the actual low ex-factory price has reached 1,450 RMB, which is close to earlier low prices; wholesale market prices range from 1,500 – 1,680 RMB.

Overall, the September urea market is expected to hit bottom, and the price will not be too volatile. Judging from the current situation, since urea prices have fallen below production costs for most enterprises recently, manufacturers have been a strong driving force in pursuit of stable prices, so there has been strong support for keeping urea prices between 1450 and 1500 RMB. Although the market has fluctuated several times, it has basically remained at this price. On the other hand, dealers also want to lower prices, so that they can reduce the risk of overstocking. This is especially true because after September 16th, urea export tariffs will be restored to 110 percent, so many people think that urea prices will fall once again and that there is no need to stock up on urea now.

Furthermore, the largest factor behind trends in the urea market is the cost of production. Himfr’s statistics show that by the end of August 39 urea enterprises will have ceased production. Annual production capacity accounts for 14 percent of China’s total capacity.

Thirty-five enterprises have cut production, and cut production accounts for seven percent of China’s total capacity and 80 percent of China’s capacity utilization rate. The number of enterprises that have ceased production has increased compared to July, especially for Hebei and Henan provinces. The overall operating rate of the country has also decreased. If urea prices continue to fall, even more companies will be forced to stop production.

In mid-September, exporting urea will become more difficult, which will lead to market supply exceeding demand in the Chinese domestic market.
