Deuteronomy 1-3
- 1: 9-18 – Until now, Moses was the Israelites leader, judge, and connection to God. In this statement he spreads the power amongst leaders and judges of the individual tribes.
- 1:30-31 – It's helpful to look back at God's faithfulness in our past so we can be assured that he will continue to be faithful.
- 1:39 – God kept his promise to give the Promised Land to the Israelites. He did not give it to the older generation because they were unfaithful, but saved it for the younger generation.
- Chapters 2 and 3 are summarizing the events that transpired on the journey through the desert- this is partly to remind the Israelites of all that God has already done for them, and partly to help preserve the story for future generations.

Web key Direct Marketing
The web key can currently be described as the most creative and ingenious advertising material. He fulfills the dream of every marketing manager: to combine the promotion at the POS, events, trade fairs or direct marketing with the digital offer of the website. But what exactly is a web key? A USB web key is a mini-memory with Auto-Link, which is due to its perforation from his carrier – a postcard, a flyer or a booklet – solved and then stuck in the USB port of a PC or Macs. The web key then automatically launches a pre-programmed link – breaking the gap between classic advertising and the company's digital product offering.
The Adon USB web key is also available as a USB stick (but without a web key auto-function) and runs on all major operating systems, including Macs.
Retail Concepts
Adon Production AG specializes in the sourcing of trendy electronic and non-electronic products for the retail trade. Are you planning a pouring concept? Do you need thematic and season-related articles at attractive prices? We are happy to put together an assortment catalog for you and take care of the whole purchase – and if necessary – also the distribution and the rack shopping for the individual branches.
Ready-Made Clothing
Sometimes it is not done with the 'bare' USB sticks or power banks – they have to be finished or put into the appropriate packaging. Either way, Adon assembles every single promotional item, carries out a quality check and packs, labels and ships as desired. Be this with web key DM campaigns or with USB sticks or PINs. We are happy to do the entire confection for you in our in-house hand packing here in Neuenhof.
Data Upload
We also offer you a very efficient upload of your data to your USB sticks. Be it documents, catalogues, brochures, photos, videos, links and other digital content: you can choose whether the data can be deleted or not – we offer a corresponding protection. In addition, we can rename the stick and your logo, so that name and logo appear the same at the drive opening We also install an auto-run function, so that the user only has to plug in the stick.
Suitable Packaging
No advertising material without suitable packaging. Adon Promotion offers you low priced top packaging for every product. Be it the noble, black or white gift boxes with 4-color printing or film finishing, be it the popular aluminum boxes or special packaging of all kinds; we are happy to advise you and even for small quantities, we can tailor-made your packaging.
Satisfied customers – our goal, our motivation
We were allowed to take part in the concept of an election campaign for a large city party of the FDP, which was finally implemented with microfibre cleaning cloths, packed in beautiful, transparent cases. The microfibre cloths were produced with the claim: 'FDP – The Liberals: We speak plain text'.
As part of a winter campaign, we were allowed to produce a unique web key for the beer brand Feldschlösschen, which then successfully launched the campaign mentioned in a direct mailing campaign.
We are proud to supply Metrohm – a major Swiss manufacturer of precision instruments for chemical analysis with our products on a regular basis. Be it for promotion purposes or for elements in the technical field.
We also released the legendary and well-known Motorex barrel as a true-to-original USB model for the Motorex brand, and we were able to drive a large and successful direct marketing campaign using highly refined web keys as part of the 100th anniversary of Motorex.

Delivering Better Brand Experiences: Why It's So Hard and What to Do About It
Great marketing is about making consumers enjoy the experience they have with your brand. Every consumer touchpoint should be a delightful brand experience, even when carrying a commercial message. This is how you positively impact everyday customer behavior and purchasing decisions. If we want people to change how they behave, we have to change their experiences. In spite of this knowledge, brand marketing is often tied to vanity metrics that don't drive any real behavior change, and performance marketing is not much better than the cheesy infomercial you see on late-night TV.
But marketers want to do better: no one sets out to do a mediocre job. The industry is continuously innovating to deliver better brand experiences and drive impact, but the results are often inconsistent, making it difficult to know what new practices to adopt.
This post explores some of the current efforts made to provide a better brand experience. Through this careful exploration, we'll discuss why it's so hard to raise the bar and look to the future to see how to break out of stale marketing cycles.
Why you shouldn't use CLTV/CAC
Long-Term Business Sustainability Depends on the Right Measures
A metric commonly used to measure the performance of high-growth businesses is Customer Lifetime Value over Customer Acquisition Cost, or more simply CLTV/CAC. It is a much better metric to provide an objective to marketing teams than many others we have seen in the past, but it has also some tremendous flaws associated with it, and if not used correctly and in the right context, it can jeopardize the business using it.
How to Plan a Marketing Campaign: from Strategy to Tactics – Part 2
How to Plan a Marketing Campaign: from Strategy to Tactics – Part 1
Developing a marketing campaign requires a unique combination of creative, big-picture thinking and focused, detail-oriented implementation. It can be challenging to figure out how to piece all the different elements together, but breaking down the process into tangible steps can help ensure that your vision will translate into effective tactics to reach your business objective through powerful creativity and seamless execution.
I have worked with numerous startups, medium businesses, and in large multinational companies, and when it comes to campaign planning and execution, there are common mistakes that can be avoided through careful planning and methodical execution. Whether if you are the person in charge of marketing in a 2-person startup or a brand director supported by 5 different agencies, you should find this two-part series useful.
Generally speaking, smaller companies have limited time and resources, and they tend to skip important steps in the process given their natural bias to action or simple lack of bandwidth. Larger companies often lack the synergic coordination between teams required to make the most of the resources available or fail to properly execute their plan due to the lack of attention towards smaller, technical, yet critical details.
For this reason, I've decided to learn from my mistakes and the mistakes made around me and document the process required to plan and launch a successful marketing campaign. In this first part of a two-part series, we'll be exploring how to put your business objective and target audience to work, creating actionable steps that take you from data analysis to an idea that serves as a solid foundation for your campaign.

Individualized Quality Control Plans (IQCPs) represent a documented strategy that uses risk management techniques to prevent failures and detect non-conformities before reporting incorrect results. Building on testing device quality, current policies and procedures, and risk reduction features, an IQCP allows for the development of lab-specific, customized QC taking into consideration the environment, laboratory operators, and patient population. These plans often serve to save money for the overall organization through a reduction in waste. If your laboratory is researching the option of QC that differs from the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) minimum of two levels each day of testing, consider the implementation of an IQCP when manufacturer instructions recommend a QC frequency less than that of CLIA.
Put an IQCP to Use
Implementing an IQCP requires a plan for all three phases of testing (pre- through post-analytical) and must include three basic steps:
Keep in mind that all CLIA, College of American Pathology (CAP), COLA, Joint Commission (if applicable), and Department of Health (DOH) regulations remain applicable and must be followed. If an IQCP template is selected for the organization, that template should be used for each evaluated test system (see FIGURE 1). For further assistance, CMS provides a free IQCP workbook that offers step-by-step instructions and sample worksheets that can be downloaded and modified. This workbook is available online at: https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/CLIA/Downloads/IQCP-Workbook.pdf.
Step 1: Risk Assessment
Similar to a failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), the purpose of a risk assessment is to identify sources of potential failures and evaluate their frequency and impact. To this end, form a team comprising the testing operator(s); related laboratory staff involved in test ordering and specimen collecting, receiving, and processing; as well as the laboratory supervisor/director. Begin with a planning meeting and then communicate project progress through a common intranet site, emails and/or paper handouts, or a large common-area poster board, and have staff provide input and analyze risks as they work. As always, successful process improvement projects require input from staff performing the testing. The risk assessment stage must encompass the entire testing process and evaluate the following five components:
Specimen: Collection, transport, integrity, receiving, processing
Environment: Temperature, humidity, power failure potential
Reagent/QC: Shipping, storage, preparation, expiration date
Test System: Sample or reagent failure, software failure, hardware failure, transmission of results
Testing Personnel: Education, training, competency
Subsequent to forming a team and establishing assessment parameters, collect facts regarding the test in question including but not limited to regulatory requirements, test method requirements, test site information, the instrument or device's risk reduction features, and historical use data. Pay particular attention to the package insert and intended use (off-label use requires extensive validation). At this point, an IQCP provided by the manufacturer or another established laboratory may be used as a starting point, but in-house data must be utilized to demonstrate the stability of the test system in its own environment being run by its own testing personnel (see FIGURE 2). That said, sample IQCPs can be utilized to help in identifying unexpected risks.
The third step of the risk assessment stage is to investigate the testing process by having testing personnel break down each phase into steps (flow charts can be helpful). Look at each step to identify potential failures or sources of error and then reverse the view to see whether there are actions the lab can take to reduce these risks. Review historical data to determine the incidence of any QC or proficiency testing (PT) failures. Is there a record of complaints or corrected reports? Do current practices and processes help detect sources of error? Review the testing process in its entirety (ie, order placed through reporting) and consider whether the probability and severity of harm are acceptable. Scoring is not required, but it helps to identify high (critical) risks.
Finally, review current procedures, staff training, and specific device features in the development of reduction strategies for identified potential risks. High (critical) risks must have QC actions in place first (see FIGURE 3). Of note, if you have multiple identical test systems, a single risk assessment may be performed only if you take into consideration all differences in testing personnel and environment. These differences must be demonstrated in the evaluation and the ICQP must be customized as needed.
Step 2: Quality Control Plan (QCP)
The QCP describes practices, resources, and procedures to control the quality of test processes. This includes measures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results. This step is initiated through the creation of a plan that comprises activities intended to reduce the likelihood of errors identified through the risk assessments. A key metric for review is the amount of overall QC necessary based on the frequency and volume of patient testing. Remember, QC procedures and requirements specified by the manufacturer must be followed and met.
The QCP must include the number and type of QC, frequency of testing, and criteria for acceptable results. It may include electronic/internal controls, procedural controls, training and competency assessments, calibration results, maintenance records, and other specified QC activities.
When reviewing external QC frequency, be sure to consider process steps in the event of a QC failure. For example, a laboratory decides on weekly QC for HIV testing instead of monthly with the rationale being that they saved specimens for 7 days, so in the event of a QC failure, they would still have specimens for retesting once the issue was resolved. No one wants to call a patient to explain a wrong HIV test result. The laboratory director must ultimately review and approve the QCP (signed and dated). Further, staff must be trained to the QCP initially, at 6 months, and then annually.
Step 3: Quality Assessment
The sustained success of an ICQP is dependent on monitoring and assessment. The IQCP must include a review of the effectiveness of corrective actions taken to resolve problems, and if a test process failure is detected, the cause must be identified along with any patient impact. As part of this process, the laboratory can run additional risk assessments and further modify the QCP as necessary based on information obtained in review. Keep in mind, the lab director must review and approve modifications (sign and date), and staff must be trained to the new QCP (See FIGURE 4).
In summary, risk management is something we already do. IQCP is voluntary; you can elect to perform a minimum of two levels external QC on every test. Each IQCP is unique as it considers your testing environment and testing staff. As such, plans may vary among laboratories. Once implemented, the IQCP must be monitored for effectiveness and modified as needed.

MILAN — For DSquared2, the show's the thing — that thing being an occasion to indulge in a side passion for scenography. In recent years, the brothers Caten, the Canadian-born twin designers of DSquared2, have conjured both tropical waterfalls and madhouses.
This time, the setting was the scene. For their fall men's show, uprooted from its usual date and time and plunked down on Friday night, the very start of men's fashion week in Milan, visitors arrived at the HangarBicocca, a contemporary art center some distance from the city center. They were ushered into a cavernous space dotted with enormous concrete towers: Anselm Kiefer's "Seven Heavenly Palaces," a permanent installation. The shortest is 14 meters, or 46 feet, high, and each weighs in the range of 90 tons.
"Normally we do sets and stuff," Dan Caten said backstage after the show. "These are the sets. You're in it."
The message, if you cared to read for one: DSquared2 is an institution among institutions.
But the timing was right. DSquared2 celebrates its 20th year in business in 2015, and the show was conceived as an anniversary bash. Much of Milan and at least one Paris — Paris Hilton, who sat front row, mouthing along to "Wild Thing" on the soundtrack — was there.
"I thought it was fantastic," Ms. Hilton said afterward. She was set to D.J. a party in Milan on Saturday but flew in early so as not to miss the show. "It was very fierce, and fun and sexy. So many hot guys!"

Longevity like theirs is cause for a celebration, as the Catens themselves appreciate, hence the raucous party that followed. "We weren't the only ones that started in 1995," Dean Caten said. "There was a lot of designers that started in 1995. We're still here."
And so, too, are some of the hits that have accompanied them along the way. The show, which included women's wear as well as men's, drew on their archives of two decades, tweaking and re-editing classics (the brothers called them "icons") in addition to the new looks. The spirit was vintage Canadian, trapper furs flying and Great White North anthems (including Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Take Off," a bit of Canadiana from the old "SCTV" show) blasting.
Then Mary J. Blige took to the runway — followed at 50 paces by a bodyguard, the most conservatively suited man on the catwalk all evening — to perform a foghorn rendition of U2's "One." The two Catens, in their identical tuxes, joined to bop along and to offer birthday wishes to Ms. Blige, who had not let the occasion get in the way of her attendance. "She's Capricorn, like Jesus: giving, giving, giving," Dean Caten said.
A few songs later, much of the professional guard raced for their cars or prayed to find taxis for the 20-odd minute drive back to the city center, while the party swelled with new arrivals. In a backstage encampment well guarded by velvet ropes, the Catens greeted well-wishers, including Renzo Rosso (one of his companies owns the ready-to-wear license for DSquared2). He congratulated them on the collection's belleza.
They mused on the import of the moment. "The thing about 20 years and stuff, we wanted to reclaim what was really ours," Dan Caten said, and though 20 years of Canadian-Milanese fashion and a Brooklyn soul powerhouse do not necessarily suggest one another, he had a simple explanation for the choice: "She's legendary, this is a legendary collection."
But why, for the twosome, "One"?
"Because we're one, but we're two," he said.
"One egg; it's one love!" his brother added. (They are identical twins.) Then they widened the circle of their affection to include Ms. Hilton, who had appeared backstage. "Paris has been with us for a long time, in Los Angeles and New York," Dean Caten said fondly, as outside their backstage camp, the sounds of a party rose to a roar. "We love her."
"Love you," Ms. Hilton replied.

Hey honey bunny. You want to look fancy but it's just not in the budget right now because you've got big kid bills? No worries, you can still ball, boo boo. Now, this is coming from a woman who has both and let me tell you, I feel just as fancy carrying my $2500 bag as I do my $30 bag. It's all in the hips, baby. If you're so inclined to spend a small fortune on handbags, belts and shoes, I support you. If you couldn't imagine ever spending that kind of money on such frivolous things, I get that too and support you. No judgement from this lady. Here are my luxury dupes so you too can feel like a princess in Target.
#1. Louis Vuitton Toiletry Bag
Need a makeup bag that screams, "I don't care if my foundation spills in here." Or, "I wear dark eyeshadow and don't have to worry about cleaning my brush before it touches my light tan velvet." This is the one. The pattern matches perfectly to my real Louis and feels just as nice.
#2 Gucci Belt
I know, I know. Everyone and their Mama has one of these now. BUT, if YOU don't and you want to hang with them and their Mom, here you go. I had to make the real one with a grey background so I could tell the difference. Imagine your insta picture possibilities. #guccigang
#3 Louis Wallet
I love a good zippy wallet, feels like all my cards are snuggled in safe and sound. If you're like me, your poor wallet gets thrown around from diaper bag to purse to jacket pocket, etc. Having this dupe option, you can throw it around, carefree. You also won't cry if you're out at a bar and someone spills a drink on the table and gets your wallet wet.
#4 Gucci Bag
Classic and chic. I love the dupe, it's great quality and has held up nicely. I have a baby people, I can't be slinging around $2k bags. I need something that can take some drool without me losing my mind. The chain is annoyingly loud but the bag is perfect. It even goes with leggings.
I will be testing other products soon and will report back. I hope these make you feel like a million bucks and allow you to walk through Wal-Mart like you're somebody who can buy all the makeup and groceries you want. Everyone deserves to feel like they belong and hold their heads high. Sometimes, a purse can help you do that. Do whatever works for you.
Cheers, Lana.

We keep hearing about "synchronized global growth" as it has supported stocks over the past two years and also as a case for equities going forward. Based on a recent note from Fidelity Viewpoints it seems the synchronized expansion story still holds though global growth may be peaking. Fidelity points out the US "is experiencing a mature expansion, with mid-cycle dynamics and some hints of late-cycle trends."
When the US is in the late phase of the business cycle that generally generally benefits emerging markets according to analysis from Fidelity Investments.
"The US late cycle has traditionally been characterized by growing inflationary pressures and rising commodity prices, which have tended to boost emerging-market (EM) equities due to their exposure to commodity exports and strong global growth." But things have changed and tech now represents nearly twice commodity-linked sectors like energy and materials in emerging markets.
Fidelity remains constructive on global stocks. In part because international equity valuations are well below those for the US. Just don't expect the same boost in emerging markets that we have seen at the end of past cycles. Also, expect more volatility in equity markets around the world due to the rising risk of inflation everywhere.

Perfect storm for energy supplies as UK runs on empty
Keep calm and carry on. As Britain plunged into sub-zero temperatures, whipped by freezing gales and deadly Siberian snow storms, energy minister Claire Perry called for calm even as the "beast from the east" drove Britain to the brink of running out of gas.
"Do carry on using your gas heating and cooking meals as normal," she told the public, vowing that the nation would not be plunged into cold within their own homes.
Her assurance emerged in the wake of National Grid's first gas supply warning in almost a decade, and just hours after the Government insisted that there were no supply concerns.
But there can be little comfort in averting the unthinkable. Britain may have conquered its worst...

How have you all been? I know it's been a minute but it's because I've had a lot going on. Anyway, remember I graduated law school in May 2013? If you have not seen the video make sure to check it out. So typically, after graduating law school in the U.S., the next step is to take the bar exam in order to become licensed to practice law.
So between May 2013 to July 2013 I quit my job and spent 8hrs - 10rs everyday studying and prepping for the bar exam. I can't tell you how difficult and stressful that period was for me. I wasn't blogging remember? Anyway, I did all I could and on the 30th and 31st of July 2013, I sat for the bar exam.
Now this exam is the toughest thing any attorney can ever go through. I mean 15 subjects and 15 hours of testing? Really? Anyway, I sat for the exam and at the end I had no clue whether I'd pass or not, it was that difficult. Some questions came from aspect of my studying that I wasn't too confident about. It took the grace of God for me not to burst into tears in the exam hall.

From modern molds. Full hull model is very nicely molded and detailed with 356 parts. Never started and has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Borodino was the lead ship of a class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy. She was finished after the start of the Russo-Japanese war in 1904. After completion she was sent with a squadron from Libau to break the Japanese blockade of Port Arthur, but while in transit the Japanese occupied the port. The Second Pacific Squadron sailed instead to Vladivostok, the last Russian port in the far east. After a very long voyage and numerous delays, the Japanese certainly knew they were coming and set up for battle to cut the Russians off at Tsushima Strait. Borodino saw action at Tsushima early on. After taking serious damage, the Russians were not interested in further battle and around 1700 they turned away from Japanese cruisers- but ran into the Japanese battleships again. 10 minutes later Togo ordered his ship to cease fire and disengage; the battleship Fuji had already loaded her 12" guns and fired them before the turn away. One of these shells hit Borodino under her starboard 6 inch turret, which started a fire in the ready ammunition that quickly spread to a 6" magazine. This caused a chain reaction and massive magazine explosions. Only one man survived from a crew of 855.

Rare first issue hardbox with script Lindberg logo. In the 1930s, Paul Lindberg was designing, building and flying stick and tissue aircraft like so many other men and boys of the time. His plans appear in Popular Aviation magazine and he made a good name for himself. When injection molding showed the way to increased kits sales in the late 1940s/early 1950s, he quickly teamed up with Mr. Olsen to create 'O-lin' models. Ray Gaedke was one the early artists for O-lin. In the early 1950s Paul Lindberg had control and had his name as the logo. The first logo is the one on this kit - 'Lindberg' in script with 'Products' arched across the top and 'Incorporated' arched across the bottom to create a broken circle around the script. Ray Gaedke continued his bold and colorful artwork for Lindberg, such as the box painting for the Nautilus here. The Nautilus appears to be the first sea vessel that Lindberg cut it's own molds for - the Chris Craft Express Cruiser, PT Boat, LST and Fleet Submarine (Ex-Varney) were done by O-lin. The model is an interesting work of fact and fiction - it includes a deck gun and what looks like a Regulus II missile for the deck! The scale is not known but it measures about 12 inches long when assembled. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Large scale issue from the 1960s with fantastic Craftmaster artwork. The Great Western was the first ship specifically built for the Atlantic Ferry Service and was designed by I.K. Brunel (who designed the Great Eastern). When launched in 1837, she carried 120 first class, 20 second class, and beds could be set up for an additional 100 if needed. The crew was 60 men. The first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was in April of 1838 and took just over 15 days. After crossing the Atlantic 64 times, she ran for 10 years between Southampton and the West Indies before being broken up in 1857. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including all parts and instructions.
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Late 1950s issue with classic artwork by Ray Gaedke. Larger 1/48 scale model of this famous racer designed by Benny Howard. Includes display stand. Molded in silver. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Please NOTE the instructions are completely readable but have a small hole near the center.
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Older issue in the cardboard box with 'Cleveland World Famous Models' printed in silver. From the late 1930s/1940s. This is a Cleveland 'SF' or 'Scale Flying' model in museum scale of 1/16. The kit came from a long time collector of 1930s and 1940s models and is in exceptional condition. All Cleveland kits were exceptionally complete and this one is no exception. Features very high quality balsa printwood and strip wood, covering material, highest quality plans, all parts required for assembly and decals (if issued with the kit). The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. Please NOTE there is light bug damage to some paperwork. The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot's English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh's 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called "The Aviation Craze" that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh's flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream- to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world's longest running single-owner (77 years) model airplane business- Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called 'Aviation's great Recruiter- Cleveland's Ed Packard' by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Mint
Mint condition hardbox. This is the 4th known issue of this classic kit, and the second one to share the 102-100 kit number. The blue oval logo dates from the early 1960s. This is only the second box artwork used for this kit, and John Steel replaced Cox for the 'new look' from Aurora. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. This is part of the famous Aurora WWI series of 1/48 scale aircraft. The series began in 1956 and Aurora added new kits into the early 1960s. The line proved incredibly popular, so these kits were included in the 'mold upgrade' in the 1970s before Aurora went out of business.
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+++
Still factory sealed. Nice quality kit from original Casadio molds. Features separately molded main and secondary battery turrets, catapults and aircraft, two helicopters, life boats and full-hull length camo decals. MPC did a very nice job marketing these kits - the box sides contain interesting ship history, and the instructions include specifications and a large, fold-out illustrated engagement map with battle details.

In our Keto Factor Forskolin review, we'll tell you about this supplement's benefits, ingredients, side effects and more. If you're ready to get started, so are we.

- Increased Weight Loss
- Release of Stored Fat for Slimming in Problem Areas
- Reduced Recovery Time Between Workouts
- Increased Energy
- Better Mood
- Lean Muscle Maintenance
Keto Factor Forskolin Ingredients
We were given access to the manufacturer's proprietary formula. As the name would imply, this supplement does contain one very important ingredient – forskolin. What's forskolin? Good question. It's a plant from the mint family, and it's growing in popularity in the weight loss community. Not only is it an appetite suppressant, it's also supposed to boost serotonin levels which helps with mood and energy levels. Keto Factor Forskolin contains forskolin to help you reduce snacking while maintaining the energy levels needed to hit the gym or just stay active while you're trying to lose weight. Don't let your diet slack when there are helpful options out there!
Keto Factor Forskolin Keto Diet
You may have heard of the keto diet. Keto is short for ketogenic, and the point of the diet is to get your body into a state of ketosis. It's a high-fat, low-carb diet. Don't let that High-fat bit scare you. Ketosis is when your body starts burning fat for energy instead of carbs. That means you need to train your body to begin that fat burning. To read more about the keto diet, click here. Keto Factor Forskolin pills might help you with your portion control and excess snacking so that you can get the maximum benefit from your diet. It's a supplement which means it won't do all the work for you, but it might be just the thing to help you along the way.
Keto Factor Forskolin Instructions
This is a simple two tablet a day system, but here is a more detailed description of how to take it:
- Step onto the scale and choose an ideal weight you'd like to hit.
- Take one Keto Factor Forskolin capsule in the morning with food and water.
- Maintain a healthy diet of reasonable portions of healthy food.
- For the best results, remain active with a regular workout routine with a focus on weight loss exercises.
- Take a second capsule at night or before bed.
- After thirty days, step back onto the scale and check out your results!
Keto Factor Forskolin Price
We've got good news and bad news about the price. The good news is that the manufacturer is offering a free trial of this supplement. For just a $5 shipping fee, you can get a month's supply of Keto Factor Forskolin diet supplement and see if you get the results that you're hoping for. If not, just cancel the trial. If you do find that it's working for you, each thirty-day supply of sixty capsules each will cost $79.99. That's a little on the pricey side, but if you do the math on it, it is less than $3 a day on your weight loss, which is significantly less than any gym membership.
Keto Factor Forskolin Side Effects
Side effects are always a possibility when taking this or any other supplement. While the website doesn't list any adverse effects, we recommend that you speak with your primary physician before beginning a regiment if you are at all concerned. Doctors are always happy to help you with your weight loss goals, and they'd be able to tell you more about how this supplement will affect you as an individual.
Keto Factor Forskolin Results
This is not a miracle pill… also, please let us know when someone develops a miracle pill that actually works. Your individual results will vary because everyone's body is different. Your diet will affect your results, so will your activity level. We can't tell you with any degree of certainty what you'll see when taking Keto Factor Forskolin weight loss solution.

Purchasers under an APA may waive any of the closing conditions, but should consider carefully before doing so. Eagerness to close a transaction may lead to problems later if due diligence has been inadequate and closing conditions were waived in the interest of expediency.
The SEC filing requirements that accompany Form 8-K include a document which discusses several of the APA closing conditions. These included the delivery of the signatures, certificates, instruments and other deliverables by the Seller, the performance by the Seller of all covenants and conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and that the Seller recieve all approvals, consents and waivers that are needed to consummate the Sale. The Asset Purchase Agreement also notes that each of the closing conditions may be waived by the Buyer at or before Closing.
Take away:
- Purchasers that enter into an APA agreement should conduct proper due diligence before waiving closing conditions.

With nearly two decades of professional experience, Ms. Patrick is a veteran in the grant writing and nonprofit industry. Her broad-based knowledge and real world experience in the field of grantsmanship was recently recognized and affirmed when she obtained her Grant Professional Certification (GPC) through the Grant Professionals Certification Institute.
Her background spans across community and government levels, including local, state and federal. As a Grant Writer, she has successfully written proposals for submission to private foundations, corporations, and state and federal funding agencies.
As a sought after reviewer, she consistently reviews for the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and has previously reviewed grants for the Georgia Dept of Education, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health, the Administration of Children, Youth & Families, and most recently for the City of Jacksonville, Office of Grants & Contract Compliance.
She has conducted dozens of grant writing workshops in community, academic, and corporate settings, including the Centers for Disease Control, the Southwest Georgia Regional Commission, AFLAC, the Coweta County Family Connection, and Atlanta Technical College.
In the nonprofit industry, Ms. Patrick has occupied roles as an Executive Director, Director of Programs, and Program Manager for various community-based organizations, including New Horizons Community Service Board, Citizens Against Meth, and the Georgia Meth Project.
Her niche is nonprofit leadership and implementing community programming, especially in the areas of youth and substance abuse prevention services.
Finally, she proudly served in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, in which her last two years of service she became certified as a Psychiatric Technician, which is how she acquired her initial experience in the field of mental health and addictive diseases.
Ms. Patrick is an alumni of Clark Atlanta University, where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communications. She obtained her Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Troy University in Phenix City, Alabama.
When I was younger trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life there were a few things that came to mind – teaching was one of them. I assumed I had to be a classroom teacher in order to accomplish that goal. What I came to realize was I didn't have to necessarily teach in a traditional classroom setting to fulfill that goal. I have been a "teacher" all of my life. It's my personal philosophy that "each one teach one."
I am passionate about the work that I do and I love sharing my knowledge with others. So, when I facilitate workshops on any subject I feel most at home. I have been speaking publicly for practically my entire life. I have been doing it professionally – whether in front of a camera delivering the news or as a presenter at a conference – for nearly 20 years. I consider it a privilege to be able to do so.
My areas of focus for my speaking engagements and workshops are on three specific areas: grants development, nonprofit leadership, and community programming. By far, my most requested topic is grant writing. Therefore, I have created several workshops that vary from the beginners guide to advance level classes.
In the area of nonprofit leadership and community programs my topics include board development, coalition building, and sustainability. These are just topic areas, I will customize a workshop around these areas of focus to meet your organization's objective.
I first met Miss Patrick at a grant writing workshop she was conducting. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, organizational skills, and immense experience and knowledge of the grant writing process. I was so impressed I later contacted Miss Patrick to collaborate on a grant. Her guidance and efforts in fulfilling the requirements of a large, national grant were outstanding. Along with these qualities, I also found Miss Patrick to be personable, dependable, and trustworthy. --- Trace Vaughn, High School Graduation Coach
My name is Kathy Cochrane and I have a MS in Urban Policy/Nonprofit Management from GSU and in that course of study learned a great deal of information about nonprofit funding. GSU is an excellent university for this degree. However, I learned more about grant writing in my first short FREE seminar with Ms Latrina Patrick. I always assume I won't get much from a free seminar, except a sales pitch! Not the case with Greater Vision Consulting. I continued on to Ms Patrick's second and reasonably priced seminar and learned so much, I felt completely prepared to write a winning grant proposal. With that said, I am more inclined to depend on Ms Patrick to do that for me. I can highly recommend Greater Vision Consulting for all of your nonprofit needs. Ms Patrick is uniquely experienced and highly qualified and you will thoroughly enjoy not only the end result, but the journey.
I had the pleasure of working with Latrina and Greater Vision Consulting in the early years of my organization when we desperately needed funds for programmatic and operational expenses. She was successful in obtaining funding on our behalf from several local foundations serving the Tri-City area of Columbus, Fort Benning, and Phenix City Alabama, as well as funds from the State of Alabama.
Latrina was a consummate professional and worked under extreme deadlines to ensure we were able to pursue all pertinent funding opportunities for which we were eligible. She was always willing to go above and beyond on our behalf, including submitting proposals for federal applications that allowed her less than one week to prepare. -- Stephany Washington, Executive Director, Homeward Bound

This armor is usually worn to maximize attack on characters where DPS is the main concern, at the expense of defense. If you are looking forward for a higher-risk-higher-reward type of playstyle, look no further than this armor.
A common use of this is armor is with Archers with maxed attack alongside the Doom Bow, the Quiver of Thunder, and the Ring of Unbound Attack to achieve a fearsome 92 Attack with the third most powerfully-damaging projectile in the game, after the Void Blade and Indomptable.
Another great use of this armor would be to put it on a ninja with The Forgotten Crown and the Void Blade to achieve an extremely strong 82 attack with the strongest projectile in the entire game.

For the purpose of this blog, I will focus on an interview with Margaret Spellings, a former key player in the accountability movement in Texas and at the national level.
Accountability, put simply, is holding someone responsible for a desired outcome. The responsible parties are school systems and the adults that make decisions within them. The outcome is education that meets the needs of students.
Texas, once a national leader on accountability, is currently scraping by to retain a focus on accountability that works for students. So what went wrong? Today we'll take a look at a short history of the movement, where we are now, and how we can get back on track.
Accountability's roots
To borrow a mantra of the University of Texas, "what starts here changes the world." Texans have long been creative problem solvers and trailblazers. That's why Texas was one of the first states to introduce a statewide school accountability system—one of two state systems that drove the greatest gains in student achievement during the 1990's.
Texas' accountability model forced schools to face the inequities and achievement gaps that had long gone undiagnosed. And its popularity with policymakers was driven by a moral imperative: addressing schools' shortcomings is simply the right thing to do.
As Margaret Spellings put it, "left to their own devices, [school systems] are going to go easy on themselves." That meant state leaders had to do their level best to force schools to change how they were educating students. Accountability proved to be the push they needed to begin that work.
Texas' success inspired President George W. Bush to bring an emphasis on accountability to the nation as a whole, ushering in a new era in American education. Largely a bipartisan effort, the accountability movement was fiercely defended by President Barack Obama for the duration of his time in the Oval Office.
The slow retreat
Today, accountability is under attack from all sides. There are coordinated efforts to undermine the fairness and accuracy of school ratings. Folks have tried to link accountability to privatization and have labeled it "anti-public-education." Many have blamed it for the struggles of school systems in their pursuit of academic success.
In more ways than one, the resistance is growing. Policymakers have called for complete repeal of Texas' accountability framework. Proposals have been made to decrease transparency and clarity in evaluations of school performance. District leaders are calling for the ability to create their own systems to self-evaluate their performance.
In addition to these efforts, the conversation about school quality and school improvement is often redirected to issues of school funding. So goes the argument: "accountability is not the key—increasing resources is." These two pieces of the puzzle, however, don't have to exist in isolation.
As Spellings says, the "put the money out there and hope for the best" approach has been tried before and has failed. Therefore, we must use accountability to uncover areas of need in order to "resource our problems." In that way, accountability and funding can go hand-in-hand.
All in all, pushback to accountability is all about what Spellings calls the "pinch." Looking straight into the face of an ugly reality makes people uncomfortable, and assessing the scale of work that still needs to be done can be daunting. So, instead, many advocate for the removal of the policies that uncover hard truths.
Looking forward
Clearly, a moral imperative to just "do what's right for students" is no longer sustaining support for accountability. But the importance of a continued focus on the academic success of each and every Texas student is too great to dismiss.
With that in mind, let's begin the conversation about education's part in enabling students to contribute a thriving workforce and a strong economy. Its part in preparing democratic citizens. Its part in building safer communities. Its part in elevating families out of poverty. Let's restart the conversation about how we can ensure all students have access to an education that serves all of those needs.
Better accountability—and policies that address the systemic issues it brings to light—can be in Texas' future. We must work together now to rebuild a consensus that supports that goal.

Man arrested in East Haven for pretending to be a police officer
EAST HAVEN–A man was arrested on Sunday for impersonating a police officer.
At 2:20 a.m. officers responded to the area of French Avenue, where a witness said he was walking down the street when a vehicle with four people inside stopped him and the driver said to him "I'm a cop, let me see your license and registration or else you won't be able to drive."
The complainant took out his cell phone to call 911, at which point the vehicle drove away. He kept walking, and then the vehicle came back and drove near him slowly.
He called 911 and described the car, a silver Honda Civic, to police. The car was stopped at the intersection of Prospect Road and Hotchkiss Street.
Police arrested Brandon Locke, 22, and charged him with impersonation of a police officer. He was released on $500 bond and is due in court on February 18.

It looks like always-on screens are going to be huge at MWC this year - and we're still two weeks away from the show kicking off.
After news broke about an always-on mode for Samsung's Galaxy S7 yesterday, now LG's getting in on the act too.
A new leak discovered by Android Authority suggests the G5 will have its own always-on screen, putting the time, date and notification icons front and centre - even when the main screen is switched off.
LG's tried something like this before with Glance View on the G Flex 2, but needed a gesture to activate. That had a battery-sipping OLED screen, though, and all the signs point to the G5 using an LCD display. Instead, LG could be using a full=screen version of the second display it tested on the V10.
That could mean colours and customisation, but there's no clue what will happen to battery life.
Based on the leaked images, the G5 will have a bigger second screen than the V10's small strip, so there's more room for notifications, but the icons could be hinting that you won't be able to read messages without turning on the phone properly.
The silhuette doesn't make it clear if the second screen is on the front or the back of the phone, either. If it's on the front, it will be invisible when the main screen is switched on, but if it's on the back it will have to sit below the rear power button and rumoured fingerprint sensor.
At least we know when all will be revealed; the leaked images show the 21st of February at 2PM - the time LG's MWC press conference is due to kick off.
We'll be there to find out what's new, but if you can't wait make sureto check out our MWC 2016 preview.

Verse Of The Day: And though your start was small, your end will be very great. Job 8 : 7
LISTEN: A small beginning does not mean a small ending. Hence, to despise a small beginning is to despise greatness. People often forfeit their potential success because they despised a small beginning. When God is involved, certainly a small beginning will turn into a great ending. Where God is involved, nothing is too small to attract the blessing. The blessing of God turns small things into great things; as his curse will turn great things to small things or nothing. The widow who had an encounter with Prophet Elisha, thought she had nothing in her house when she had just a bottle of oil, but her abundance came out from that her little possession. (2 Kings 4 : 1 – 6).
Beloved, success is guaranteed when we faithfully follow God. The bible says, " Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. (Proverbs 14 : 34). Uprightness is a key to true exaltation. Where sin is the foundation of a people or person, true success cannot survive. Sin brings reproach or cause for shame. No doubt, people measure success by wealth and physical achievements, but God measure success by our faithfulness to him. Joseph was a slave boy in Egypt but the bible recorded that he was successful in his master's house. Are you surprised about that? (Genesis 39 : 1 – 3).
Beloved, faithfulness to God is the doorway to true success. Joseph was faithful to God as a slave and God promoted him and gave him an exalted position in Egypt. God cannot fail those who refuses to fail him. In the midst of Job's temptation and tragedy, three of his friends visited him and spoke words that pierced his heart like an arrow. They alleged that his tragedy was as a result of his wickedness. However, they still recognised that righteousness can turn a small beginning to a great ending when Bildad the Shuhite said, " And though your start was small, your end will be very great." (Job 8 :7).
Thankfully, irrespective of their accusations, Job was faithful to God, therefore, God exalted him and made his latter days better than the former. The bible says, " So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days." (Job 42 : 12 – 17). Beloved, better days are ahead of you. Remember, a small start does not mean a poor end.
Having read today's devotional, what is expected of you?
1. Do not despise your small beginning, for your greatness could be hidden in it.
2. Do not allow your critics to prevail over you, instead shut them up by your faith.
3. Do not be discourage by your present predicament, rather look at the future and invest in it.
4 Determine to remain faithful to God for he will not forsake you.
Daily Task: Do not compromise on your faithfulness, for God cannot fail those who refuses to fail him.
Daily Reflection: Faithfulness to God is the doorway to true success; for where God is involved, nothing is too small to attract the blessing.
Daily Prayer: Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that true success and greatness comes from you, therefore, whatever my hands find to do, bless it abundantly in Jesus' name, amen.
Daily Prophetic Declaration: Today, I prophesy over your life, may God bless you with true greatness and success. You may have started small, but you will end great, in Jesus' name.
Daily Quote: A small beginning does not mean a small ending; hence, to despise a small beginning is to despise greatness.

Memo to HR: We are Not Family
May 13, 2011 | File under: On the Job
Sometimes, one's work colleagues can feel like family. In small offices, or among close-knit groups in larger companies, people tend to form tight bonds that are either facilitated by the actual work performed, or simply by proximity to others and non-work socializing. These connections, when forged by the employees themselves, and having nothing to do with top-down management engineering, are authentic and really can mimic family bonds.
On the other hand, it is exceedingly irritating to me when companies (especially large, impersonal firms) latch on to this "work as family" concept in an insincere attempt to boost employee morale when morale is shown to be severely lacking. They publish glossy newsletters filled with smiling pictures of office birthday celebrations and numerous other suggestions that "we are all one, big happy family," but behind all the overcompensating propaganda lies the truth that many people are truly unhappy in their jobs. It is all an illusion —- a gesture that masks the symptoms of disease without looking to its causes.
Ending the Pity Party
February 25, 2011 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
People love to complain. It's a coping mechanism, I suppose, but sometimes it can get out of hand. Not only is complaining contagious; it is nearly always unproductive and can even be counter-productive, leading to a crippling lack of motivation in nearly everything. And after a while, listening to the same complaints over and over again becomes very irritating to other people. Especially when the complainer appears unwilling to do anything to change the situation giving rise to the complaints. At that point, complaining simply becomes a waste of time.
I used to be one of those people that complained constantly that I hated my job. I complained at work to my empathetic friends, I complained at home to my husband and I complained to my family when I spoke to them over the phone. I spent so much of my time thinking about work and complaining that my free time away from the office never felt like free time—-I carried my misery with me wherever I went and allowed it to overshadow the experiences I should have been enjoying. It was not a healthy way to live.
Very quickly, my negativity grew tiresome to others, and to myself. I was tired of ruminating over things that would never change, people who would always be difficult to deal with, and situations that were unavoidable evils in the profession I had chosen. My family was tired of counseling me out of my funks, a process that sometimes monopolized large chunks of the weekend days I was supposed to be enjoying. It was a state of mind I could not sustain.
When Choosing a Career, the Devil is in the Details
January 26, 2011 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
Sometimes when I get an idea in my head I tend to overlook the realities of the situation I am imagining. I do not recommend this approach. Case in point: for years, I had a "vision" of what it would be like to be a lawyer that turned out to be completely wrong. This vision was heavily influenced by the fictions I observed on TV, leading to a completely skewed conception of reality. But even aside from pop culture's manipulation of my impressionable mind, my perceptions of the day-to-day realities I would face in my career were dominated by big-picture abstractions that ignored the mundane, everyday details of the job. And we all know the devil is in the details.
Let's glimpse into my 20-year-old mind for a moment. I am in college, without any real working experience in my life aside from a few summers of part-time retail work and short-term internships. I have no idea what it's like to work a nine-to-five (or more) desk job, or any kind of job for that matter, for an extended period of time. I know how to be a student. I get this idea in my head that I should be a lawyer. I'm a good writer, I can articulate my points well, and I have an interest in political and historic issues. Essential skills for a lawyer, right? Put my talents to use "making a difference" and "defending justice." Or something like that. Everyone thinks it's a good idea. I commit to this path with only a vague notion of what lawyers actually do on a daily basis.
What exactly did I think I would be doing as a lawyer? Reading, researching and writing, mostly. That's actually what I did end up doing most days as a lawyer. So where had I erred in my predictions?
Feeling the Career Brain Drain
January 19, 2011 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
Sometimes, a career can actually diminish one's mental capacity. It happened to me. Before I became a lawyer, I was a fairly creative person. I immersed myself in activities that required a good deal of concentration, patience and free thought. I read deep philosophical books, I knitted an intricate stuffed elephant toy for my niece, I baked bread by hand, and I even experimented with watercolors despite my lack of natural artistic talent. And then, I started my job and my after-work and weekend activities took on a decidedly more mindless quality. I just didn't have it in me to think very hard after thinking so hard all week long, and my creativity levels and desire for self-improvement plummeted.
Part of becoming careared is feeling worn down and defeated by a job. This is exactly how I felt. Not only did my job affect my attitude and thoughts during the time I was at work, but it also dampened my spirits and left me mentally spent when I was away from the office. While I was once ambitious with my free time, I found myself spending more and more time watching movies and engaging in mindless activities that wouldn't be too taxing on my fried brain. I began to perceive many of my former interests as chores, requiring too much creativity and concentration.
The Interview Wining and Dining Facade: A Sociological Experience
January 11, 2011 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job • Schooling
For people who enter law school to secure a job at a law firm, those three years are really just an extended interviewing process. At least the first two years are, as many people enter their third year with a job offer in hand. And law schools waste no time: the search for a job begins practically the moment one enters their first year. From then on, it's a nonstop parade of career fairs, campus visits, cocktail parties and fancy meals.
Of these events, the wining and dining ones are particularly illuminating. You can learn a lot about the Big Law Firm life by observing people sipping glasses of fine wine and munching on expensive crudités.
The Sunday Dread
January 3, 2011 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
You know the feeling. You are enjoying a relaxing weekend. Although it took a bit to wind down from the work week, by Sunday your mind is decompressed and you are in full-out weekend mode. This state of bliss lasts for approximately three full hours, until late Sunday afternoon when you are inevitably reminded that you must enter the rat race again in approximately twelve hours. Enter the Sunday dread.
During my years as a lawyer, I became intimately acquainted with the Sunday dread. I hated the work week. I lived for the short time I had at home each night after work, and —- more significantly —- the weekends.
The countdown would begin on Monday morning. Like running in a marathon, the thought of the distance that separated me from Friday afternoon seemed daunting and insurmountable. How would I make it? Did I have it in me? I resorted to tactics that would allow me to mentally break down the week into smaller, easier palatable increments: I just need to make it until lunch and there will be relief; okay, one day down, four more to go; Wednesday, we're halfway there. Slowly, the hours would pass, a day or two, then Thursday would come around and the finish finally appeared to be in sight. I would collect every bit of strength I had in me to push through to the end, breathe a big sigh of relief, and congratulate myself on completing the journey.
The next two days were a reward for my perseverance. A mix of recreation and necessary household activities, those two days would fly by at lightning speed, a pace unknown to me during the work week. Sometimes the lingering effects of work called for a brief detox to rehabilitate myself from the week. Saturday mornings were often spent flushing out negative thoughts and massaging out annoying kinks.
Common-Sense Skills for Managers
December 8, 2010 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
Many of the people I know who have experienced burnout in their careers attribute their dissatisfaction as much to unpleasant people as to unfulfilling work. And most of the time, the people who present the greatest challenges to work with are supervisors who exhibit extremely poor managerial skills. Few professionals who hold supervisory power over others are actually trained in management. And even those who are often fall short in adhering to the rules of basic human respect that should be common sense to anyone having passed through kindergarten. I'm not sure what sort of people skills are taught in management courses, but having myself experienced the burnout that comes from dealing with inconsiderate people, I can offer a few reflections on the common-sense behaviors that should be mandatory for any manager.
It's Okay To Say No
November 11, 2010 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job
A colleague and friend of mine at a law firm where I previously worked admitted to me once that she had a hard time saying no to the persistent and increasing demands that were placed on her by people in our firm. It was clear she was being taken advantage of by some partners who took for granted her diligent work habits and her willingness to sacrifice personal and family time when client needs appeared pressing. As it usually goes in a law firm, the partners were apt to interpret "client needs" as requiring service at all hours, and my friend was repeatedly the one called to duty because she was perceived as always being available. Understandably, her stamina was depleted after many years of this and she ultimately left for greener pastures.

One thing all my years of schooling never prepared me for was the massive amount of sitting that would be required by my entry into professional life. Eight hours or more a day, confined to a desk in front of a computer, total idleness. It's just one of those details of a career that evades notice until you find yourself doing it all. day. long.
A Career Cannot Provide Happiness
October 11, 2010 | File under: Advice and Lessons • On the Job • Society and Pressures • Well-being
Growing up, I was always a bit uncomfortable in my own skin. I was constantly trying to live up to some social ideal, simultaneously pursuing notions of intelligence, beauty and overall worth that I believed would make me valued and special in society's eyes. I thought acceptance from sources outside of myself would fuel my happiness, oblivious at the time that real happiness would remain elusive unless it came from myself, not from other's affirmations of my embodiment of any ideal projected by society.

What makes Typesetting a Pre-Publishing essential for every author?
Typesetting is that element of Pre-publishing which makes your book look every bit as good as it reads. Have you ever seen a page in a book which only has a single line on top, then the chapter ends and rest of the page is left blank for the next chapter to begin on a new page? Nah! Never, because that's a whole lot of waste of real estate. And to avoid this, publishers and authors have the book carefully designed under the assistive care of typesetting.
What is Typesetting?
Proofreading and editing are long-familiar measures to better a manuscript, but typesetting is the underdog which really makes the book shine. It forms the backbone of a reading experience. It's the process of arranging the text and images on a page, to improve the readability and set it aright for printing.
A meticulous task, this! Every bit that will soak up ink is brought under the lens of typesetting before it goes in print. This includes selecting the adequate spacing, size, and composition of every word, sentence, paragraph, heading, subheading and smaller text such as captions, asides, and footnotes.
Why is Typesetting important?
We notice certain words and sentences in a book which read in italics. In fiction, its to represent the inner thoughts, dreams, and memories of characters. In non-fiction, it is to emphasize particular details.
The font, the change of it, and it's size all make a difference. That's what typesetting does. It shows readers you care; you show your audience respect by giving their experience your serious attention. You get to present your thoughts clearly by means of design.
Its primary duty is to make your text clear and accessible. But ideally, it should also enhance the meaning of what you wish to convey with clarity in mood and style. Skillful typesetting makes a dense document shine with a new light, while lousy typesetting will make all your hard work and efforts go to waste.
It's naturally hard for an author, publisher, or even a reader to understand what is the typesetter's work, but that's actually the point: type is not meant to be noticed, it is intended to enhance the reader's experience subliminally, and even create a subconscious atmosphere for the story.
How we can help you?
PaperTrue understands the rules of typesetting, and we hold extensive experience to know how books in your genre are typically designed. Our editors are equipped with expert knowledge and skills in typography, designing, grids, layouts, and composition to support authors in creating a book that looks as good as it reads.
Our teams work on advanced software to create exclusive book covers and typesetting author's manuscripts. We ensure that all fonts, styles, and text sizes are uniform all over, bringing consistency to your manuscript, so it looks professional and is ready for publishing.
You can do it too!
Now you know it's important you give your words all the attention they need before they go into print. Setting the type, font, and design of your words is as important as editing and proofreading them, if not more. Lots of creative energy goes into the typesetting, and if you are ready to devote yourself to the detail, you can do this arduous task yourself.
Doing it in MS word is possible. But it won't give you endless customization possibilities. If you are serious about this, and you should be! What you'll need is, to buy software called Adobe InDesign which is exclusively created for typesetting books and other documents. The problem is, the learning curve for software such as InDesign is quite steep. And the process itself is justifiably time-consuming. So it could prove exhaustive for you to typeset the whole text after you have finished writing.
That's where PaperTrue comes in, we've always got your back! Just finish writing the manuscript and pass it on to us, we will edit, proofread, format and typeset it as you sit back relaxed, just waiting to hit the publish button!

Cell phone use in pregnancy may cause behavioral disorders in offspring
Taylor said that further research is needed in humans to better understand the mechanisms behind these findings and to establish safe exposure limits during pregnancy. Nevertheless, he said, limiting exposure of the fetus seems warranted.
First author Tamir Aldad added that rodent pregnancies last only 19 days and offspring are born with a less-developed brain than human babies, so further research is needed to determine if the potential risks of exposure to radiation during human pregnancy are similar.
Some recent studies seem to indicate that there may be cause for concern for your developing baby. Cell phones generate low levels of electromagnetic radiation, the same kind of radiofrequency waves you encounter with microwaves, TVs, and dozens of other machines you encounter everyday. But with cell phones, because you are probably using them so often, and they're concentrated around your body, some researchers have cautioned pregnant women to take steps to minimize their exposure. Here are a few suggestions:
Use a Bluetooth. These devices emit less radiation than just your cell phone.
Remove any "skins" or decorations on your cell phone. These can interfere with the signal strength of your phone, meaning that your phone has to emit a stronger signal, so more radiation, in order to place your call.
Try to find other ways to place calls other than with your cell phone, for instance with your landline, through your computer, or use instant messaging.
"Cell phones were used in this study to mimic potential human exposure but future research will instead use standard electromagnetic field generators to more precisely define the level of exposure," said Aldad.
Other Yale authors on the study include Geliang Gan and Xiao-Bing Gao.
The study was funded by grants from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development, and Environment and Human Health, Inc.
