Chevrolet TrailBlazer

Chevrolet TrailBlazer
2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT SUV Shown

Since its 2002 introduction, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer has been one of the most popular midsize SUVs in America in terms of sales. Qualities like a smooth ride, a roomy cabin, plentiful features and an inexpensive price made it a hit with consumers early in the model cycle, but fleet operators have picked up much of the slack in recent years. However, based on our testing experience, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer leaves much to be desired as a midsize SUV.

Although modern luxury features such as navigation and rear-seat DVD entertainment are available, this SUV’s handling dynamics are more state-of-the-past than state-of-the-art. The standard Chevy TrailBlazer’s unresponsive suspension and imprecise steering don’t inspire confidence on back road detours or during quick transitions on the expressway. In past years, traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the TrailBlazer weren’t expected to handle well in these situations. But times have changed and virtually all of the Chevy’s domestic- and import-brand rivals now offer superior road manners.

Another major drawback is the TrailBlazer’s cabin design. It looked out of date soon after this midsize SUV’s debut, and the quality of the materials and construction has always been suspect. Now that the long-wheelbase EXT version has been dropped, there’s no way to get a third-row seat, and maximum passenger capacity is down to five. The second-row accommodations, at least, are reasonably spacious.

From a performance standpoint, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS is an interesting choice, as it addresses the base SUV’s handling woes via substantial tuning to the chassis and steering. The SS also provides rip-roaring performance, courtesy of a 6.0-liter V8. But in the grand scheme of things, the SS is a niche vehicle. For a workaday midsize SUV, other truck-based competitors will serve you better than the standard Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

Current Chevrolet TrailBlazer

The Chevrolet TrailBlazer is available in three trim levels: LS, LT and SS. The LS comes decently equipped, while the LT allows access to some higher-level features. Chevrolet offers two different packages for the SS model. The basic TrailBlazer SS (1SS) is equipped similarly to the LS but features a larger V8, sport-tuned chassis, 20-inch wheels and a monochromatic exterior with black mesh grille. The uplevel version of the TrailBlazer SS (3SS) has the above performance upgrades but comes with all the LT’s amenities. Apart from a white-faced tachometer and “SS” monograms on the seats, there’s nothing special about the SS interior.

Two engines are available on the TrailBlazer LS and LT models. Both start out with a 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder producing 291 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Next up, and recommended if you’re planning to tow, is an optional 5.3-liter V8 at 300 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque featuring cylinder-deactivation technology to boost mileage. Both engines are hooked up to four-speed automatic transmissions, with a choice of two- or four-wheel drive (4WD).

The TrailBlazer SS packs a 6.0-liter V8 punch borrowed from the Corvette, and in this application it’s rated at 391 horses and 395 lb-ft of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission and two-wheel drive are again offered, but instead of 4WD, the SS substitutes an all-wheel-drive system to improve on-pavement performance at the expense of off-road capability.

Behind the wheel, we’ve found that the Chevrolet TrailBlazer’s suspension delivers a mixed bag of goods — its soft tuning results in a soft, comfortable ride around town and on the highway, but push it hard into a corner or hit the rough stuff too fast and the TrailBlazer’s overly compliant setup gets out of sorts quickly. Most buyers will find the standard inline-6 engine adequate, but it’s definitely lacking in low-end torque. The optional V8 is more satisfying in this regard, though it feels like a bit too much engine for the softly tuned chassis.

The Chevy TrailBlazer SS is an altogether different beast. It moves off the line like a muscle car, hauling itself to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds — about as fast as a Dodge Charger R/T. Better yet, the SS model’s modified chassis is fully capable of handling all that power. When the TrailBlazer SS is pushed through twists and turns, body motions are well controlled and steering feel is excellent.

Past Chevrolet TrailBlazer models

As a unique model, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer debuted for 2002, though the name “TrailBlazer” was actually in use previously as an upscale trim level for the regular four-door Blazer SUV. After the TrailBlazer’s debut, Chevy slowly phased out the Blazer and let the TrailBlazer become its main truck-based midsize SUV. There was also an extended-wheelbase version called the TrailBlazer EXT that offered seven-passenger seating and class-leading cargo room. At the time, the 4.2-liter engine made 270 hp.

The big news for 2003 was a special North Face Edition trim package and the availability of a 290-hp, 5.3-liter V8 in the extended TrailBlazer EXT, while the next couple of years saw a host of evolutionary improvements like power-adjustable pedals, restyled seating, side-curtain airbags, DVD-based navigation, CD/MP3 audio and satellite radio. The hotter, performance-oriented Chevy TrailBlazer SS debuted in 2006. This was also the year that the 5.3-liter V8 became available for non-EXT models and the inline-6 engine’s power rose to 291 hp. The TrailBlazer EXT was dropped for ‘07.

Random String Generator

This is one of my smallest, most powerful, most widely used function. It takes the input bewteen 1-32 and will return the string of that particular length. The string that is generated is completely random, as is the way it is selected within the function.
The beauty of this is that if a length less than 32 is wanted, it will randomly select the position as well.
< ?

function randomString($length)
{
// Generate random 32 charecter string
$string = md5(time());

// Position Limiting
$highest_startpoint = 32-$length;

// Take a random starting point in the randomly
// Generated String, not going any higher then $highest_startpoint
$randomString = substr($string,rand(0,$highest_startpoint),$length);

return $randomString;

}

?>

To use the function:

< ?php

// Gets a random string of length 10
$randomString = randomString(10);

?>

This function literally has a statistical chance of repeating the same value next to never. Unless, of course, you only want 1 charecter returned. At that point, their are only 34 different possibilities that it could be (a-z and 0-9). Other then that, it will be pretty unique!

Thats about it! It is pretty self explanitory. Enjoy!

Chevrolet Uplander

Chevrolet Uplander
2007 Chevrolet Uplander Cargo Minivan

The history of Chevrolet’s minivan models has been one of consistently trying to catch up with the other guy, but ultimately falling short. Through three generations and names, the Chevy vans and their various GM siblings have struggled to match, let alone better, “mom-mobiles” from Chrysler and recent foreign competition. The current Chevrolet Uplander will be GM’s final foray into the increasingly unpopular minivan market, as it will eventually be discontinued in favor of new large crossover SUVs for people-hauling duty.

In the beginning there was the Chevrolet Lumina APV, a bizarre new take on the minivan with plastic body panels and “modular seating” that provided numerous configurations and low removal weight. Unfortunately, the Lumina failed to resonate with buyers, perhaps because it resembled either a Dustbuster or a StarSpeeder 3000 from Disneyland’s Star Tours. The next generation was dubbed Venture and was more impressive than its strange predecessor, matching the redesigned Caravan in terms of feature content; we applauded it for being reasonably fun to drive. But it too failed to sell, prompting another unusual take on the minivan.

The current bowtie-wearing minivan is the Chevrolet Uplander, introduced in 2005 as a “crossover sport van” designed to be more hip than the average mom-mobile. But unlike American Beauty, a closer look will reveal there’s actually less going on than meets the eye. In fact, what meets the eye is something that looks like the outgoing Chevy Venture, with a bulbous front end, a nicer interior and a taller ride height – which is actually what it is. Considered strictly a minivan, though, the Uplander succeeds in providing today’s expected features and creature comforts, but lacks the refinement and ingenuity that other top minivans from Honda, Kia and Toyota provide.

Current Chevrolet Uplander

The Chevrolet Uplander is a minivan available in regular- and long-wheelbase sizes, with front-wheel drive and a 3.9-liter, 240-horsepower V6 (the only drivetrain now available). It comes in LS and LT trim levels, both of which seat seven with a fold-flat 50/50-split third-row seat. The short wheelbase is only available on the LS, while the LT comes in three different equipment subsets: 1LT, 2LT and 3LT.

Standard and available equipment includes 17-inch wheels, rear parking assist, power-sliding doors, a power driver seat, heated front seats, leather seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, an innovative multimedia overhead console, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, satellite radio and a “PhatNoise” digital media system.

The Chevrolet Uplander does an OK job of protecting its valuable human cargo but falls short of other minivans. Antilock brakes are standard on all trim levels, while stability control comes on all but the short-wheelbase LS. Front side-impact airbags that protect the head and torso are optional on the LS and standard on the LT. The 2LT and 3LT packages add side airbags for the second row. Although these airbags essentially do the same job as the side curtain airbags offered on all other minivans, there is no side protection available for the third row.

The Uplander does provide a much nicer interior than the Venture. All have a two-tone color scheme with decent materials and a pleasing overall look. Lower-level Uplanders come with GM’s old-school modular seating in the second row, while the 2LT and 3LT are upgraded with fixed captain’s chairs. In the all-important minivan gizmo department, the Uplander does have a few aces up its sleeve. An overhead rail system on the LT provides easy rear-seat access to climate and entertainment functions. The PhatNoise digital media system eliminates the hassle of shuffling through CDs and DVDs on road trips by providing a hard drive that can store music and movies.

Past Chevrolet Uplander models

The Uplander replaced the Chevrolet Venture, which overlapped its successor during the 2005 model year. When it debuted, it came with a 200-hp 3.5-liter V6 and a four-speed automatic. All-wheel drive was available as an option. For 2006, a short-wheelbase version was added to the lineup, while the 3.9-liter V6 became an option on front-wheel-drive Uplanders. The base 3.5-liter V6 was dropped for 2007, as was all-wheel drive. Consumers interested in a usedVenture. Uplander will want to take a look at the

(Tips) agar tidak dibanned Google Adsense !!

Apakah selama ini anda tidak mengclick sendiri iklan Google Adsense yang ada diwebsite anda, lalu anda merasa pasti selamat tidak dibanned Google Adsense ?

Tidak sama sekali, banyak faktor yang menyebabkan publisher di banned meskipun tidak mengclick iklan sendiri. Faktor utama yang paling penting adalah perbandingan Impression terhadap Jumlah CLICK. Biasanya jumlah click tidak boleh lebih dari 30% dari jumlah impression.

Misalnya : Jumlah impression mencapai 1000, dan jumlah click mencapai 300. Dari situ anda sudah harus berhati-hati.

Jika tidak percaya, coba saja anda biarkan selama satu minggu dengan persentase seperti itu, tunggu saja surat dari Adsense yang berbunyi, “Hello …” seperti ini:

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions
have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have
therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that
this was a necessary step to protect the interest of the AdWords
advertisers.A publisher’s site may not have invalid clicks or impressions on any
ad(s), including but not limited to clicks and/or impressions generated
by:- a publisher on his own web pages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reasonThese or any other such activities that violate Google AdSense Terms
and Conditions and program polices may have led us to disable your
account. The Terms and Conditions and program polices can be viewed at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers.

If you feel that this decision was made in error, and can maintain in
good faith that the invalid activity was not due to the actions or
negligence of you or those you are responsible for, such as employees
and family members, you may appeal the closing of your account. To do
so, please contact us only through this form:

http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_appeal&hl=en_US

inform you quickly and will proceed with appropriate action as
necessary. If we have reached a decision on your appeal, subsequent or
duplicate appeals may not be considered.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

 yang diatas hanyalah faktor paling utama, setelah itu ada beberapa faktor penting lain bagaimana cara google adsense menentukan / tahu invalid clicks.

Faktor-faktor lain diantaranya:


- Direct hits, maksudnya, visitor anda langsung masuk ke website anda tanpa melalui search engine atau link-link lain, dengan kata lain, visitor / tamu anda langsung mengetikkan URL anda di browser, dan hal ini membuat googlebot mediapartners (robot pendeteksi adsense) curiga anda menyuruh teman / saudara / family / anda sendiri mengclick iklan adsense di web anda.

- Berapa lama visitor anda diwebsite anda sebelum mengclick iklan adsense?
Jika visitor anda langsung mengclick iklan adsense tanpa tanpa membaca artikel di website anda, apa google adsense tidak curiga ? anda bisa menjawabnya sendiri.

- Nomor IP dan Hostname, ya.. ini biasa yang diduga orang bahwa google adsense mendeteksi kita mengclick iklan sendiri dari nomor IP. Tetapi mungkin bagi yang menggunakan static IP seperti yang digunakan perusahaan besar, kantor2, ini berlaku. Jadi, bagi anda yang membuka account adsense jgn beritahu website anda ke teman2 kantor anda, apalagi menyuruh mereka mengclick iklan adsense anda. Tetapi untuk yang menggunakan DYNAMIC IP, misalnya saya pengguna speedy limited , ini tidak berlaku.

- Subnet IP, ini bisa dijadikan bahan pertimbangan juga, bagi yang menggunakan dynamic IP , jangan terlalu senang seakan2 adsense tidak dapat melacak anda mengclick iklan sendiri.
Anda perlu tahu bahwa kita yang menggunakan dynamic IP dan menggunakan suatu layanan dari provider tertentu, kita tetap saja berada dalam SUBNETWORK yang sama. misalnya saya menggunakan speedy, subnet saya tetap 222.124.xxx.xxx, jadi bagaimanapun anda mematikan kemudian menghidupkan speedy anda, anda tetap berada di subnet yang sama.

- GeoIp, selain subnet, google adsense juga bisa melacak darimana negara dan kota visitor kita datang, apalagi anda yang tinggal di USA , kode pos, DMA CODE juga bisa dideteksi. Jika dalam 3 bulan visitor semuanya berada dalam subnet dan negara yang sama, tahu deh,…

- Proxy IP / Anonymizer , jika anda atau visitor anda menggunakan proxy server yang terkenal ataupun proxy server yang meninggalkan header yang tidak bersih, misalnya meninggalkan USER AGENT yang jelas2 meninggalkan identitas KE-PROXY-AN mereka, hati2 saja. Advertiser yang membeli adwords kadang2 memblock visitor yang menggunakan proxy server, dan jika sudah sering, mereka akan melaporkan situs anda ke adsense.

Kombinasi dari:

- Browser, ini merupakan kombinasi yang digunakan robot adsense untuk mendeteksi invalid clicks. perlu diketahui bahwa setiap surfing nama USER AGENT kita anda dikirimkan ke server?

- Operating System, ini juga akan dikirimkan ke server dan bisa dibaca javascriptnya adsense.

- Resolusi monitor, ini juga kombinasi yang menjadi pertimbangan robot adsense melacak invalid clicks.

Mungkin anda bisa mempelajari lebih lanjut dengan memasangkan hit counter yang bisa memberikan informasi lengkap ke anda, dari sana anda akan mengerti lebih jauh mengenai data2 apa saja yang bisa dibaca javascript.

untuk yang paranoid, yang dibawah ini juga bisa dipertimbangkan:

- cookies, ini bisa bikin anda apes, biasanya anda yang tidak mengerti cara setting cookies bisa membahayakan anda, misalnya anda sering sekali bolak balik mencek account anda ke websitenya adsense, anda lupa mengclearkan cookies, kemudian anda iseng2 click iklan adsense anda, dari cookies itu adsense akan mengetahui anda mengclick iklan adsense anda sendiri.

Tips, Tricks, dan rahasia Google Adsense

I’ve been reading a few forums and blogs about Google Adsense tips lately, and thought it would be helpful to consolidate as many as possible in one place without the comments. I’ve also thrown in a few tips of my own. We start out with some of the basic general stuff and move to the more specific topics later on.

Build an Empire?

When you’re deciding to become a website publisher you will fall into one of two broad categories:

  • Publish 100 websites that each earn $1 a day profit
  • Publish 1 website that earns $100 a day profit

The reality of it is, most people end up somewhere in between. Having 100 websites leaves you with maintenance, management and content issues. Having one website leaves you open to all sort of fluctuations (search engines algorithm’s, market trends, etc). You can adapt your plan on the way, but you’ll have an easier time if you start out going in the direction of where you want to end up.

General or Niche

You can build your website around general topics or niche ones. Generally speaking niche websites work better with adsense. First off the ad targeting is much better. Secondly as you have a narrow focus your writing naturally becomes more expert in nature. Hopefully this makes you more authority in your field.

If this is your first try at building an adsense website, make it about something you enjoy. It will make the process much easier and less painful to accomplish. You should however make sure that your topic has enough of an ad inventory and the payout is at a level you are comfortable with. You may love medieval folk dancing, but the pool of advertisers for that subject is very small (in fact it’s currently zero).

Once you’ve gotten the hang of how Adsense works on a website, you are going to want to dabble in some high paying keywords, you may even be tempted to buy a high paying keyword list. This does come with some dangers. First off the level of fraud is much higher on the big money terms. Secondly there is a distortion of the supply and demand relationship for these terms. Everyone wants ads on their website that make $35 or more a click, however the number of advertisers who are willing to pay that much is pretty limited. Additionally the competition for that traffic is going to be stiff. So, don’t try to run with the big dogs if you can’t keep up. If you have to ask if you’re a big dog, then chances are, you’re not. I have used a high dollar keywords report from cashkeywords.comcash keywords free offer recap). and was pleased with my results (see

New Sites, Files and Maintenance

When you’re building a new site don’t put adsense on it until it’s finished. In fact I’d go even farther and say don’t put adsense on it until you have built inbound links and started getting traffic. If you put up a website with “lorem ipsum” dummy or placeholder text, your adsense ads will almost certainly be off topic. This is often true for new files on existing websites, especially if the topic is new or different. It may take days or weeks for google’s media bot to come back to your page and get the ads properly targeted. TIP: If you start getting lots of traffic from a variety of IP’s you will speed this process up dramatically.

I like to build my sites using include files. I put the header, footer and navigation in common files. It makes it much easier to maintain and manage. I also like to put my adsense code in include files. If I want/need to change my adsense code, it’s only one file I have to work with. TIP: I also use programming to turn the adsense on or off. I can change one global variable to true or false and my adsense ads will appear or disappear.

Managing URL’s and channels

Adsense channels is one area where it’s really easy to go overboard with stats. You can set up URL channels to compare how one website is doing to another. You can also set up sub channels for each URL. If you wanted to you do something channels like this:

  • domain1.com - 728 banner
  • domain1.com - 336 block
  • domain1.com - text link
  • domain2.com - 728 banner
  • domain2.com - image banner
  • domain2.com - 336 block
  • domain3.com - 300 block

While this is great for testing and knowing who clicks where and why, it makes your reporting a little wonky. Your total number will always be correct but when you look at your reports with a channel break down things will get displayed multiple times and not add up to correct total. Makes things pretty confusing, so decide if you really need/want that level of reporting detail. TIP: At the very least you want to know what URL is generating the income so be sure to enter distinct URL channels.

Site Design and Integration


Once you know you are going to put adsense on your website you’re going to have to consider where to put it. If this is new site it’s easier, if it’s an existing site it’s more difficult. While there are some people who will be able to do it, in most cases I’d say if you just slap the adsense code in, you’ll end up with a frankensite monster (props to Tedster of WMW for the buzzword). While every website is different, Google has published some heat maps showing the optimal locations. No surprise that the best spots are middle of the page and left hand side. Now I’ve done really well by placing it on the right, but you should know why you’re doing it that way before hand, and be prepared to change it if it doesn’t work out.

Google has also has published a list of the highest performing ad sizes:

  • 336×280 large rectangle
  • 300×250 inline rectangle
  • 160×600 wide skyscraper

From the sites that I run, I do really well with the 336 rectangle and 160 skyscraper. My next best performing ad size is the 728 leaderboard, I don’t really use the 300 inline rectangle too often. So really it depends on how well you integrate these into your site. Placement can have a dramatic effect on performance. TIP: When working on a new site or new layout you may want to give each location it’s own channel for a little while until you understand the users behavior.

Another ‘trick’ that can increase your CTR is by blending your adsense into your body copy. For example if your body copy is black, remove the adsense border and make the title, text, and URL black.TIP: Try changing all of your page hyperlinks to a high contrast color (like dark red or a bold blue) then change the adsense title to the same color.

The one area where I’ve found blended ads don’t perform as well is forums, especially ones with a high volume of repeat members. Regular visitors develop banner blindness pretty quickly. One ‘trick’ to keep the ads from being ignored is to randomize the color and even the placement. As with any of the decisions about location, placement and color it’s a trade off. How much do you emphasize the ads without annoying your visitors. Remember it’s better to have a 1% CTR with 500 regular visitors as opposed to a 5% CTR with 50 visitors. TIP: For forums try placing the adsense ads directly above or below the the first forum thread.

Using Images

One of the latest ’secrets’ to make the rounds is using images placed directly above or below an adsense leaderboard. This has been used for a while but came out in a digital point forum thread where a member talked about quadrupling their CTR. Basically you set up the adsense code in a table with four images that line up directly with the ads. Whether or not this is deceptive is fuzzy and very subjective. Obviously four blinking arrows would be ‘enticing people to click’ and be against the adsense TOS. However placing pictures of 4 laptops over laptops ads isn’t, so use your best judgment here and look at it from the advertiser or Google’s perspective. If you have a question as to your implementation being ‘over the line’ write to adsense and ask them to take a look.

As far as using the images, I’ve done it and can tell you it definitely works. You get the best results when the images ‘complete the story the ads are telling’. For example if you have ads about apple pies, use pictures of freshly baked apple pies, instead of granny smith, Macintosh, pink lady, and braeburn apples. TIP: Don’t limit yourself to using images only on that size ad unit, it works just as well with the other sizes, like the 336 rectangle.

Added:
I got a little criticizm for this and rightly so, as I wasn’t specific as I could have been. Do not use very identifiable brand name or products for your images. Use generic non-specific stock images whenever possible and appropriate.

Multiple Ad Units

Another way to increase ad revenue is to use multiple ad units. According to Google’s TOS you are allowed to post up to three ad units per page. Similar to standard search results the highest paying ad units will be served first and the lowest being served last. If there is enough of an ad inventory, place all three ad units. However you should pay attention to the payouts. Current assumption is you get 60% of the revenue (on a $0.05 click you get $0.03). So if a click from the third ad unit is only paying between 3 to 5 cents you may want to omit it from your page. This is one are where giving your ad units channels does have value. If one ad unit is getting a higher percentage of click throughs you’ll want to make sure the highest paying ads are being served there. TIP:Use CSS positioning to get your highest paying ads serving in the location with the highest CTR.

Adsense in RSS

With the growth of blogs and RSS feeds you’re starting to see adsense included in the feeds now. IMHO this doesn’t work, and here’s why:

  • You only get to place one ad unit.
  • You have no control over finding the ’sweet spot’ for the ad unit.
  • The ads are usually poorly targeted (this is getting better).
  • People develop ‘banner blindness’.

I know people like being able to read full postings in their feed reader, and there are at least a dozen other reasons for full posts from pleasing your users to mobile offline computing, all of which are completely valid. However if your website depends on generating adsense revenue to survive, then bring them to the site and show them the ads there.

Affiliate Sites

Placing Adsense on affiliate sites is tricky. Are you giving up a $10, $20, or $30 sale for a $1 click? This is something you have to test on your own to figure out. If you aren’t converting now it’s definitely worth a try. I like to use adsense on my article pages. For example let’s say you had an affiliate website where you sold shoes. You’re going to need some related articles to ‘flesh out’ the site. Things like ‘getting a shoe shine’ or ‘finding a shoe repair shop’ these are excellent spots for adsense. While you won’t get rich, they will usually provide a small steady income and cover things like hosting costs.TIP: If you find you have pages getting more than 50 clicks per month add more pages about this topic, and link the pages together. Mine you logs for the search terms used.

PPC Arbitrage

This is a dicey subject so I’m going to steer clear of precise examples. Basically you bid on low volume uber niche terms at a very low cost. You set up landing page that contains high payout ads for the related general topic. You are looking for terms with a large gap between the price you are bidding on adwords and the price you are getting on Adsense. If you pay $0.10 a click and get $1.00 a click you make $0.90 each click. To get your adsense ad approved you will need to ‘add some value’ along the way. You can make a killing or get taken to the cleaners with this one, so make sure you know what you are doing before you try it.

Have any other adsense tips, tricks or secrets? Drop me an email and let me know, I’ll give you credit.

Added
728 leaderboard works very well if it is just above the end of the
“above the fold” area on what would be considered your viewers average
resolution/browser window size if there are few other enticing links
above the fold. Makes for an interesting layout but if you’re building
a site for AdSense it may be worth it. We consistently receive very
high CTRs from doing this.

Try to build sites that allow you to quickly try any and all of
those locations outlined in the heatmap guide or at least allow you a
wide degree of freedom to easily change ad/content locations.

Namun, sebenarnya, apa beda teh hijau dengan teh lain? Hal yang paling kasat mata adalah dari segi warna air seduhan. Teh hijau tentu berbeda dengan black tea. Ini terjadi karena teh hijau tidak difermentasikan atau tidak mengalami proses fermentasi yang berkali-kali. Di dalamnya pula terdapat berbagai zat yang berfungsi sebagai antioksidan yang berfungsi menjaga dan meningkatkan kekebalan tubuh.

Nah, untuk berbagai manfaat di atas, ada beberapa tips bagi Anda yang ingin membuat minuman teh hijau yang berkhasiat. Yang pertama, seduh daun teh hijau dengan air panas, bukan air mendidih, dan biarkan daun terendam selama 1 - 5 menit. Hindari penambahan susu, karena protein susu justru menetralisir kandungan polifenol (sebagai antioksidan). Jika itu dilakukan, berarti hilang sudah khasiat antioksidan.

Minum Teh dan Khasiatnya bagi Kesehatan

Minuman apa yang paling populer di masyarakat? Tak pelak lagi jawabannya adalah minuman yang terbuat dari teh. Hasil penelitian ilmiah menunjukkan bahwa setelah air, teh adalah jenis minuman yang paling banyak dikonsumsi manusia dewasa. Diperkirakan tak kurang dari 120 ml setiap harinya.


Pagi hari sebelum memulai kegiatan, minum teh adalah yang rutin dilakukan, di kantor pun minuman yang paling banyak diminati adalah teh, baru disusul kopi dan air putih. Minum teh, sangat nikmat ketika masih hangat dan bisa menyegarkan tubuh dan pikiran. Maka tak berlebihan, jika teh dijuluki minuman rakyat, penggemarnya pun mulai dari desa hingga kota dan bisa dinikmati di mana saja, warung pinggir jalan, restoran dan hotel berbintang lima. Bak kata iklan, apa pun makanannya, teh adalah minumannya.
Namun, selama ini minum teh lebih ditujukan untuk kenikmatan dengan menambahkan gula atau susu pada air seduhannya. Berbeda dengan masyarakat Cina dan Jepang, mereka mengonsumsi teh tak semata untuk kenikmatan tapi sudah pada tahap mendapatkan khasiatnya yang menyehatkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, teh jika dikonsumsi secara teratur dapat mencegah kanker, mendepak kolesterol dan darah tinggi (Fereidoon Shahidi, 2002).

Budaya Minum Teh
Kebiasaan minum teh telah menjadi semacam ”ritus” setidaknya di kalangan masyarakat Cina dan Jepang. Bahkan hingga kini, upacara minum teh di tengah masyarakat Jepang merupakan suatu hal yang sakral. Di Cina, budaya minum teh sudah dikenal sejak 3.000 tahun sebelum Masehi, pada zaman Kaisar Shen Nung berkuasa. Kemudian budaya minum teh berlanjut di Jepang sejak masa Kamakaru (1192 – 1333) oleh pengikut Zen. Tujuannya adalah agar mereka mendapatkan kesegaran tubuh selama meditasi yang bisa memakan waktu berjam-jam. Pada akhirnya, tradisi minum teh menjadi bagian dari upacara ritual Zen. Selama abad ke-15 hal itu menjadi acara tetap berkumpul di lingkungan khusus untuk mendiskusikan berbagai hal.
Meski saat itu belum bisa dibuktikan khasiat teh secara ilmiah, namun masyarakat Cina sudah meyakini teh dapat menetralisasi kadar lemak dalam darah, setelah mereka mengonsumsi makanan yang mengandung lemak. Mereka juga percaya, minum teh dapat melancarkan air seni, menghambat diare dan sederet kegunaan lainnya.
Seiring dengan perkembangan ilmu pangan yang makin maju, khasiat minum teh pun makin banyak diketahui. Hal ini mendongkrak konsumsi teh dari tahun ke tahun. Di Inggris misalnya mencapai 2,5 kg/kapita/ tahun, di Irlandia bertengger pada angka 3,5 kg/kapita/tahun, Pakistan dan India berturut-turut pada posisi 1,0 kg dan 0,6 kg/kapita/tahun. Bagaimana dengan Indonesia, masih sangat rendah konsumsinya, yakni baru mencapai 0,2 kg/kapita/tahun. Tak sampai 10 persen dari konsumsi masyarakat Inggris. Padahal, Indonesia merupakan penghasil teh kelima terbesar di dunia setelah India, Cina, Sri Lanka dan Kenya.
Diduga penyebab rendahnya tingkat konsumsi teh di Indonesia karena masyarakat belum banyak yang tahu tentang khasiat teh bagi kesehatan. Walau minum teh sudah menjadi semacam budaya setidaknya di kalangan masyarakat Jawa, namun teh belum menjadi primadona untuk masyarakat kebanyakan di Indonesia, masih lebih banyak memilih soft drink alias minuman ringan yang memiliki rasa teh bohongan ketimbang minum teh yang sebenarnya.

Senyawa Bioaktif
Dalam pembagiannya, teh dapat dibedakan dalam tiga kategori utama berdasarkan pengolahannya. Yaitu teh hijau (tidak mengalami fermentasi), teh oolong (semi fermentasi) dan teh hitam (fermentasi penuh). Meski ketiga jenis teh ini berasal dari tanaman yang sama yakni Camelia sinensis, namun ada perbedaan yang cukup berarti dalam kandungan polifenolnya karena perbedaan cara pengolahan. Kandungan polifenol, senyawa antioksidan yang kemudian diyakini berkhasiat bagi kesehatan, tertinggi diperoleh pada teh hijau, kemudian oolong, lalu disusul teh hitam.
Teh hijau mengandung lebih dari 36 persen polifenol, sekalipun jumlah ini masih dipengaruhi cuaca (iklim), varietas, jenis tanah dan tingkat kemasakan. Kunci utama dari khasiat teh berada pada komponen bioaktifnya, yaitu polifenol, yang secara optimal terkandung dalam daun teh yang muda dan utuh. Katekin adalah senyawa dominan dari polifenol teh hijau dan terdiri dari epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallat (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epigallocatechin gallat (EGCG), catechin dan gallocatechin (GC). Katekin adalah senyawa yang larut dalam air, tidak berwarna dan memberikan rasa pahit dan astringensi alias kelat.
Flavonol, zat antioksidan utama pada daun teh adalah kuersetin, kaempferol dan mirisetin. Sekitar 2- 3 persen bagian teh yang larut dalam air merupakan senyawa flavonol. Flavonol lebih merupakan glukosida daripada sebagai bentuk aglikon. Paling tidak sekitar 14 glikosida mirisetin, kuersetin dan kaempferol dalam teh segar, teh hijau dan teh hitam telah diketahui keampuhannya menghalau kanker dan kolesterol.
Pada pengolahan teh hitam, katekin dapat teroksidasi membentuk warna dan cita rasa yang khas. Secara klasik warna teh hitam dapat dibagi ke dalam orange-coloured theflavins (TFs), yang memberikan merah keemasan, dan brownish thearubigins (TRs), yang memberikan warna kecoklatan. Dalam teh hitam, TFs dapat dikelompokkan menjadi empat, yaitu theaflavin, theaflavin-3-gallat, theaflavin-3’-gallat dan theaflavin-3,3’-gallat, membentuk reaksi antara turunan kuinon dari sebuah katekin sederhana dan gallokatekin. Sedangkan TRs merupakan sebuah kelompok heterogen warna fenolik dengan massa molekul relatif pada range 700 – 40.000. Kandungan berbagai senyawa inilah yang membuat teh bisa berwarna merah keemasan atau kecoklatan.
Sifat fungsional teh hijau lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan teh hitam. Ini ditunjukkan polifenol teh hijau jauh lebih berperan untuk mencegah terjadinya kanker dibandingkan polifenol teh hitam. Senyawa polifenol dapat berperan sebagai penangkap radikal bebas hidroksil (OH) sehingga tidak mengoksidasi lemak, protein dan DNA dalam sel. Radikal bebas yang berasal dari berbagai makanan awetan dan polusi udara merupakan musuh utama kesehatan, kecantikan dan penuaan dini seperti cepat keriput dan noda hitam pada kulit. Kemampuan polifenol menangkap radikal bebas, 100 kali lebih efektif dibandingkan vitamin C dan 25 kali lebih efektif dari vitamin E.
Hal yang sama juga terjadi pada LDL, kolesterol yang berbahaya bagi tubuh. Katekin dan theflavin membantu menyingkirkan radikal bebas sehingga tak memiliki kesempatan mengoksidasi LDL yang dapat membentuk plak pada dinding arteri, yang menjadi penyebab aterosklerosis. Dengan demikian, antioksidan pada teh dapat memperlancar arteri mengirim darah yang penuh gizi ke jantung dan ke seluruh tubuh.
Selan itu, kandungan epigalokatekin dan epigalokatekin galat pada teh hijau dapat menghambat aktivitas enzim yang mengatur tekanan darah dan dapat membantu mengurangi penyerapan vitamin B1 yang mengakibatkan berkurangnya aktivitas metabolisme gula sehingga berat badan bisa turun. Maka dengan mengkonsumsi teh secara teratur, 2- 4 gelas setiap hari, dapat menstimulasi terjadinya penurunan tekanan darah dan membantu menormalkan tekanan darah penderita tekanan darah tinggi.

Rahasia Menyeduh
Bagi kebanyakan orang membuat teh dengan rasa manis dan nikmat tak ada masalah. Namun, guna mendapatkan khasiat teh yang maksimum sehingga bermanfaat bagi kesehatan, tak semua orang tahu. Maka ada baiknya kita pahami cara menyeduh teh yang baik dan beberapa langkah berikut bisa dilakukan. Pertama, gunakan air matang dan berasal dari sumber mata air.
Kedua, untuk mendapatkan rasa teh yang enak, cucilah daun teh dengan menuangkan air panas secukupnya pada seduhan pertama kemudian digojog beberapa saat sebelum airnya dibuang. Hal ini dilakukan untuk membuang debu yang masih menempel pada teh dan rasa teh menjadi lebih enak. Ketiga, hindarilah menggunakan air yang baru saja mendidih untuk menyeduh teh. Suhu air panas berkisar antara 80 – 90 derajat Celsius adalah yang paling baik karena dapat mempertahankan antioksidan teh tidak rusak.
Keempat, minumlah segera setelah diseduh. Kelima, hindari penyimpanan teh yang sudah diseduh lebih dari 24 jam, karena teh basi bisa buat diare. Keenam, simpanlah teh dalam wadah tertutup agar aromanya tetap terjaga baik. (Posman Sibuea)

LAIN-LAIN
---------
Semula kami 'skeptis' ketika ingin berbagi informasi
tentang situs "holiday-mails.com" kepada Anda.
Sangat dimengerti, pada situasi seperti sekarang ini
banyak sekali orang yang curiga dan takut ditipu
sehingga cenderung 'apriori' dan 'hati-hati/waspada',
apalagi harus berhubungan dengan dunia Internet yang
masih sedikit orang menyentuh.

IT'S OK!
Katakanlah ini 'Penipuan, Scam, Just a Game atau
Semacamnya', kita toh tidak akan dirugikan
se-peser-pun kecuali rugi waktu dan ongkos internet
yang kalau kita 'smart' bisa diminimalisir. Anggaplah
kerugian itu sebagai 'BIAYA' yang wajar kita keluarkan
untuk menimba pengalaman berselancar (surfing) di
dunia maya. Bukankah untuk menjadi 'Lebih Pintar' kita
juga harus bayar?
Pertanyaannya adalah:
"Bagaimana Kalau Semua Itu Benar Adanya?"
Coba Anda simak Sponsor pada Website holiday-mails.
Disana ada:
- Yahoo!
- Sony Ericsson
- VISA
- MarterCard dan yang lainnya.

Coba juga Anda perhatian:
- Total Payouts yang hampir 100 Juta Dollar
- Certificat
Diluar dugaan kami, dalam beberapa hari saja, sudah
begitu banyak dollar yang sudah dikumpulkan dengan
klak klik di sana sini. Kami tinggal menunggu dollar
yang terkumpul mencapai $100.000.
Luar Biasa!!! Anda tinggal melakukannya di
tengah-tengah surfing di dunia maya. Tidak ada ruginya
khan???

Yang mungkin jadi pertanyaan anda!
Ada suatu analisa mengapa dengan mudahnya mereka
membayar kita hanya untuk surfing website?

Anggap Holiday-mails.com ini adalah sebuah chanel TV
swasta yang income-nya dari para pemasang iklan. Untuk
menarik para pemasang iklan, chanel TV tersebut harus
mempunyai rating yang bagus dengan pemirsa yang sangat
banyak.

Demikian pula dengan Holiday-mails.com, rating
tersebut
adalah dilihat dari jumlah member yang bergabung dan
aktif menyebarkan situs itu ke seluruh dunia.

Semakin besar rating mereka maka situs tersebut
semakin bernilai jual tinggi untuk para pemasang
iklan. Jadi kesimpulannya; kita dibayar mahal untuk
setiap klik karena berarti rating bagi iklan tersebut
dan juga kita dibayar karena mereferensikan pada orang
lain.

Sebagai contoh, Kalau anda tahu, berapa Telkomsel,
Indomie, Cocacola dan perusahaan kelas dunia lainnya,
membayar biaya iklannya di banyak chanel TV dalam 1
tahun? Jumlahnya mencapai Ratusan Milyar!!!


Selamat mencoba... Semoga keberuntungan selalu
menyertai Kita.

Tanpa Mencoba Anda Tak Akan Dapat Apa-apa
Gagal Tidak! Sukses Pun Tidak!
Dengan Mencoba PASTI Anda mendapatkan Salah Satunya!

Learning Google Adsense

Pada artikel kali ini saya mencoba memecahkan masalah yang sering dihadapi para publisher adsense,
terutama para pembaca di blog ini yang sering mengalami masalah dengan iklan google adsense yang berbahasa Indonesia,
namun ingin agar adsense ads-nya tampil terus (bukan iklan layanan masyarakat/public service ads).

Mungkin ada beberapa trik saja yang bisa saya bagikan,tetapi itupun saya tidak bisa memberikan jaminan kalau-kalau
iklan google adsense akan tampil terus di website / blog yang berbahasa indonesia,malaysia (melayu) ataupun bahasa yang
tidak disupport google adsense.

Seperti kita ketahui, setelah anda melakukan setup di account adsense anda, anda mendapatkan script (javascript) yang bisa
anda insert ke dalam situs / blog anda. Dan memang untuk pertama kali muncul, akan muncul iklan layanan masyarakat seperti
iklan sosial untuk badai katrina atau whateverlah… setelah tampilan kedua-ketiga-keempat kalinya,
iklan adsense akan mencari iklan berdasarkan nama domain (baca : alamat website), nama file , meta keywords dan description,
dan anda akan senang sekali jika ada iklan yang muncul (padahal website / blog anda berbahasa Indonesia) …
tetapi setelah 2 hari berikutnya, iklan layanan masyarakat kembali muncul, dan andapun kembali frustasi).
Anda tahu kenapa ? karena spider khusus milik Google Adsense (Mediapartners Google) sudah mencari iklan berdasarkan content website (blog) anda,
jika tidak ditemukan kata-kata/kalimat yang sesuai dengan iklan yang tersedia di stok data advertiser mereka, maka tidak ada adsense ads yang akan muncul.

Berikut ini kemungkinan-kemungkinan yang bisa membantu anda untuk mensiasati agar iklan adsense muncul terus di blog anda yang berbahasa Indonesia.

1. Buatlah postingan artikel anda dengan permainan kata-kata yang bernilai komersial terutama dalam bahasa inggris diantara artikel anda, misalnya,
dalam postingan anda, anda mempunyai kalimat berbunyi seperti ini :

“Coba lihat gambar koleksi saya”, lebih baik anda gantikan seperti ini : “Coba lihat pics hasil collection saya”.

2. Taruh link-link yang banyak kalau perlu , kemudiaan kasih nama link-link tersebut dengan nama berbahasa inggris, misalnya link blog ini, anda pasang di blog anda:

3. Bikin randomize words di postingan anda, tentunya randomize words tersebut harus berbahasa inggris, kalau bisa,
kalimat2nya agak panjang, dengan bahasa program php, asp (jika server anda mensupportnya), perlscript, cgi. Untuk bahasa javascript saya tidak berani menjaminnya.
Maksud saya randomize words adalah kalimat-kalimat yang tampil secara acak.
Tidak punya ide ? Saya punya, biasanya anda bisa mengambil kata-kata bijak (word of wisdom) dari orang-orang terkenal, seperti kata-kata bijak Nelson Mandela,
Fidel Castro (kadang-kadang ada bijaknya), bung Karno, paus Yohanes, Ahmed Dinejad, Mao Tze Tung, Khomeini, SBY, Mahatir Muhammad, Albert Einstein, George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln terutama semua kata-kata bijak itu telah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris, atau ide lain yang mudah,
jika anda seorang muslim, anda bisa mengambil ayat-ayat Al Quran atau Al Hadits yang telah ditranslate ke Inggris, jika anda seorang Kristen, anda bisa mengambil ayat-ayat Bible
berbahasa Inggris seperti KJV dan lain-lain. Sekali lagi, untuk randomize words javascript saya tidak berani menjamin kemanjurannya.

4. Setting TITLE, META keywords dan description anda dengan kata-kata kunci yang berbahasa inggris komersial. Meta keywords terletak di antara tags HEAD.
5. Taruh iklan google adsense di dalam frame (baca: iframe), dan file yang berada di dalam frame tersebut anda kasih judul berbahasa inggris, dengan META keywords dan description berbahasa inggris,
taruh hyperlink file yang berada di dalam frame tersebut di blog utama anda yang berbahasa indonesia tersebut.

Catatan, untuk point ke-4, anda harus menguasai dasar-dasar programming, jika anda menggunakan php,asp,perlscript,anda harus punya hosting sendiri.

Tutorial PHP MYSQL, membuat paging







Pernah menggunakan search engine???? pasti kita semua pernah menggunakannya, apa yang terjadi apabila hasil yang kita cari mencapai angka lebih dari 10000 ??? apa yang kita cari dimunculkan semuanya??? tentu saja tidak, paling tidak akan dikelompokkan menjadi beberapa halaman. nah apa, pertanyaanya bagaimana membuat pengelompokan halaman menggunakan PHP dan MySql seperti itu???? berikut ini ada caranya....









<?php

include 'library/config.php';

include 'library/opendb.php';



// how many rows to show per page

$rowsPerPage = 20;



// by default we show first page

$pageNum = 1;


// if $_GET['page'] defined, use it as page number

if(isset($_GET['page']))

{

    $pageNum = $_GET['page'];

}


// counting the offset

$offset = ($pageNum - 1) * $rowsPerPage;


$query = " SELECT val FROM randoms " .

         " LIMIT $offset, $rowsPerPage";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');



// print the random numbers

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

   echo $row['val'] . '<br>';

}


// ... more code here

?>



Paging is implemented in MySQL using LIMIT that take two arguments. The first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return. The offset of the first row is 0 ( not 1 ).


When paging.php is called for the first time the value of $_GET['page'] is not set. This caused $pageNum value to remain 1 and the query is :



SELECT val FROM randoms LIMIT 0, 20



which returns the first 20 values from the table. But when paging.php is called like this http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/examples/paging/paging.php?page=4

the value of $pageNum becomes 4 and the query will be :


SELECT val FROM randoms LIMIT 60, 20


this query returns rows 60 to 79.


After showing the values we need to print the links to show any pages we like. But first we have to count the number of pages. This is achieved by dividing the number of total rows by the number of rows to show per page :


$maxPage = ceil($numrows/$rowsPerPage);









<?php

// ... the previous code


// how many rows we have in database

$query   = "SELECT COUNT(val) AS numrows FROM randoms";

$result  = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

$row     = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

$numrows = $row['numrows'];


// how many pages we have when using paging?

$maxPage = ceil($numrows/$rowsPerPage);


// print the link to access each page

$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$nav  = '';



for($page = 1; $page <= $maxPage; $page++)

{

   if ($page == $pageNum)

   {

      $nav .= " $page "; // no need to create a link to current page

   }

   else

   {

      $nav .= " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\">$page</a> ";

   }

}


// ... still more code coming

?>



The mathematical function ceil() is used to round up the value of $numrows/$rowsPerPage.


In this case the value of total rows $numrows is 295 and $rowsPerPage is 20 so the result of the division is 14.75 and by using ceil() we get $maxPage = 15


Now that we know how many pages we have we make a loop to print the link. Each link will look something like this:



<a href="paging.php?page=5">5</a>



You see that we use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of paging.php when creating the link to point to the paging file. This is done to avoid the trouble of modifying the code in case we want to change the filename.



We are almost complete. Just need to add a little code to create a 'Previous' and 'Next' link. With these links we can navigate to the previous and next page easily. And while we at it let's also create a 'First page' and 'Last page' link so we can jump straight to the first and last page when we want to.


 



<?php

// ... the previous code


// creating previous and next link

// plus the link to go straight to

// the first and last page


if ($pageNum > 1)

{

   $page  = $pageNum - 1;

   $prev  = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\">[Prev]</a> ";



   $first = " <a href=\"$self?page=1\">[First Page]</a> ";

}

else

{

   $prev  = '&nbsp;'; // we're on page one, don't print previous link

   $first = '&nbsp;'; // nor the first page link

}


if ($pageNum < $maxPage)

{

   $page = $pageNum + 1;

   $next = " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\">[Next]</a> ";



   $last = " <a href=\"$self?page=$maxPage\">[Last Page]</a> ";

}

else

{

   $next = '&nbsp;'; // we're on the last page, don't print next link

   $last = '&nbsp;'; // nor the last page link

}


// print the navigation link

echo $first . $prev . $nav . $next . $last;


// and close the database connection

include '../library/closedb.php';


// ... and we're done!

?>



Making these navigation link is actually easier than you may think. When we're on the fifth page we just make the 'Previous' link point to the fourth. The same principle also apply for the 'Next' link, we just need to add one to the page number.


One thing to remember is that we don't need to print the 'Previous' and 'First Page' link when we're already on the first page. Same thing for the 'Next' and 'Last' link. If we do print them that would only confuse the one who click on it. Because we'll be giving them the exact same page.


 








We got a problem here...


Take a look at this slightly modified version of paging.php. Instead of showing 20 numbers in a page, I decided to show just three.


See the problem already?


Those page numbers are running across the screen! Yuck!


This call for a little modification to the code. Instead of printing the link to each and every page we will just saying something like "Viewing page 4 of 99 pages".


Than means we havel remove these code :



<?php

// ... the previous code


$nav  = '';



for($page = 1; $page <= $maxPage; $page++)

{

   if ($page == $pageNum)

   {

      $nav .= " $page "; // no need to create a link to current page

   }

   else

   {

      $nav .= " <a href=\"$self?page=$page\">$page</a> ";

   }

}


// ... the rest here

?>



And then modify this one



<?php

// ...


// print the navigation link

echo $first . $prev . $nav . $next . $last;


// ...

?>



 


Into this



<?php

// ...


// print the navigation link

echo $first . $prev .

" Showing page $pageNum of $maxPage pages " . $next . $last;


// ...

?>

Dollar Mixed After Housing Report

"The buck just dodged a bullet as housing data came in...slightly better than expected," said Brian Dolan, chief currency strategist at Forex.com, a division of Gain Capital. "The market had been bracing for a softer number...so the weak housing market remains in the picture, but [there was] no immediate sign of a further deterioration in May's data." In New York trading, the dollar was quoted at 123.35 yen, compared with 123.62 yen late Monday. The euro stood at $1.3405, compared with $1.3408. The British pound stood at $1.9883, compared with $1.9830. The dollar changed hands at 1.2404 Swiss francs, compared with 1.2419 francs. The euro was at 165.41 yen, compared with 165.76 yen, after touching an all-time high at 166.09 yen. Housing starts Starts of new homes in the United States fell by 2.1% to 1.47 million in May, as building permits for new construction rose 3% to 1.50 million, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. The figures were slightly stronger than expected in a survey of economists by MarketWatch. Both starts and permits had been forecast to fall to 1.46 million. The report comes a day after the National Association of Home Builders said its housing market index fell to its lowest level in 16 years. "Today's report does not alter the mixed picture of U.S. housing and sends the focus to next week's reports of new and existing home sales," said Ashraf Laidi, chief foreign-exchange analyst at CMC Markets in New York. German business sentiment Elsewhere, the euro came under pressure after a report showed the Zew indicator of German economic expectations pulled back to 20.3 in June, down from 24.0 in May. Economists had been expecting a reading of 29. The Zew current conditions indicator inched up to 88.7 in June, from 88.0 in May. The drop in the ZEW index is "an ominous reminder that the German recovery is still skating on thin ice," said David Brown, chief European economist at Bear Stearns, in a note. "This is another piece in the jigsaw that suggests the [European Central Bank] needs to tread carefully on rates ahead and that a target of 4.25% ... is more appropriate than the 4.50% or higher that the market is now looking for," he said.
