Kindle Document: How many words??
by drum.deborah Posted: 02/05/2012
Hello - I am just curious what other kindle publishers think is a decent sized book.#internet marketing #document #kindle #length #words
I usually target about 12,000 words but I would love to get some other input on this topic.
I usually target about 12,000 words but I would love to get some other input on this topic.
- travlinguyI never write for length. When you do you end up subconsciously filling your pages with fluff. Most readers don't judge a piece of writing by length they judge by quality. My best Kindle seller is around 7000 words and it's priced at $5.
- PhillyGalJenI have yet to finish my first kindle offering. However, I was just writing and filling out the outline that I had started with and not worrying about word count.
I believe that if you give excellant information that it does not matter if it is 12k or 7k words. Of course, this is how I see things now. My view might change once I get some books published.
- JohnMcCabeI'm working on one right now. Here's the process:
> Write the sales letter (description) first.
> Make an outline putting the things in your description in logical order.
> Fill in any gaps in the outline.
> Start writing. Keep writing until all items in the outline have been addressed. This is the first draft.
> Compare the draft to the description (sales letter). If you added a benefit to the book, add it to the description. If you missed or omitted something that is in the description, either add it to the book or remove it from the description.
> At this point, the book is essentially 'done'. All that's left is editing, proofing, formatting, adding graphics, etc. - the mechanics of getting the book ready to sell.
At the current stage I'm at in the process, I have no idea how many words the book will end up. But I know it will be complete and it will over-deliver on the description.
- marciayudkinYou don't have to guess at this. Amazon now shows a rough equivalent page count for Kindle ebooks that do not have a corresponding paperback version. If they do have a paperback version, they show the number of pages in the paperback.
Poke around in various categories, and you can see how long various kinds of books tend to be. Then see if there are any complaints about a Kindle book being too short.
Some of my successful Kindle ebooks are only 6000 words or so and I haven't seen or heard a single complaint.
Note too that I'm careful to state in the ebook description that the ebook is concise.
Marcia Yudkin
- JohnMcCabe
Otherwise, there are many variables to account for - including text size and screen size.
6,000 words would equate to a typical paperback novel sized "book" of about 24 pages. More like a pamphlet...

How Long Should Your Story Be? by Lee Masterson
- JerryKuzmaFrom a marketing perspective, we aim for VALUE for MONEY.
If the reader pays $5 and gets $20 in value within 5,000 words, then you will have a satisfied customer.
Overdeliver, regardless of length, and charge a fair price. That is a reasonable rule for marketing any written product.
Of course, if your writing is crap, 3x the length is just a lot of crap....LOL!
Be encouraged.....Jerry K
- anders3397A "decent sized" book is one that the reader feels has satisfied them when they have finished reading it so it really is as long as a piece of string. Aim to provide great information and avoid fluff and, in non fiction at least, try to find solutions for the reader's problems. Length is secondary.

Looks way better than the picture. I wear these almost all the time. It is so simple and elegant
These dangling earrings are perfect for regular wear..
I ordered this pair of earrings primarily because of the bargain price. It was no surprised that the earrings arrived in a cheap plastic zip top bag housed in an even cheaper paper box... Once I got the earrings out of their packaging, I was pleasantly surprised by how pretty they look. The earrings are very well made and sturdy. There is a good amount of silver in the setting, and each stone seems to be securely prong set. The earrings lay perfectly on the ears. The pearls are just the right size that dangle off the ear lobes. The faux pearls have good luster and look very believable. I got compliments every time I wear them. So glad I took a chance on these earrings!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
- How accurate was the sizing? Exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good, exceeded expectations

Skip to comments.Because of China's preference for baby boys, some men now buy wives from abroad
Posted on 05/16/2014 9:05:32 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
KANDAL PROVINCE, Cambodia Petite, soft-spoken and innocent Kai Sochoeun dreamed of a better life, away from the poverty she was born into in rural Cambodia.
She passed her days fetching water from a pond and tending to chickens that roamed near her wooden stilt home. She watched the men in her village skeptically. If they only cared about card games and alcohol, how could marriage improve her life?
I wasn't interested in a husband, she said.
That changed when an acquaintance of her uncle approached her with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The woman could arrange for Kai to travel to China, where theres an abundance of well-paying factory jobs and, if she was interested, sophisticated, affluent men awaited.
After she agreed to go to China a place she only knew from TV dramas things moved quickly. Within a week, the human traffickers had forged all the necessary documents and brought her to the airport.
In hindsight, Kai realized that it was too good to be true.
Soon, she had been sold to a Chinese man who physically abused and raped her. She had never met him before, she didn't speak his language, and she had no clue where she was other than that it was somewhere in China.
[W]hen I didnt want to sleep with him, when I tried to resist, he grabbed me. He got angry and pushed me on the bed and had sex with me. ... He was very aggressive. He was the first man I slept with, I didnt have any experience, but I knew that this was not right. It was terrible, she said.
Besides the daily rapes, the mans family treated her like a servant and she was held in solitary confinement.
She wasn't the only one who was trafficked to southern China that day.
There were two other girls, younger than me, who were also at the airport. They cried when they said goodbye to their families. We were all a little bit scared, Kai remembers.
I had heard of such stories, where women were trafficked, where they were tricked and then sold. But I thought it wouldn't happen to me, Kai said.
For years, local media in Laos and Myanmar, both neighboring China, have reported cases of women who were trafficked to China often under the influence of drugs.
China's one-child policy, introduced in 1979 to address rapid population growth, has produced a gender imbalance. Male heirs are favored in Chinese culture, and there have been reports of parents aborting female fetuses or even killing baby girls. The British Medical Journal estimated in 2005 that China had produced a surplus of 32 million young men about four times the population of New York City.
For many of these men, looking across China's borders has become the only option to find a wife.
Quest for a better life
Kai and the two women she had traveled with were led to believe that they would find work in China, and possibly marry a suitable Chinese man.
At the airport, they were picked up by a Cambodian woman and four Chinese who took them to a town that Kai remembers by the name Fuja.
They were told to doll themselves up so they'd look pretty for the men who were about to visit the house to pick one of them as a bride. It was then that Kai finally realized that she was being trafficked. There was no lucrative $500-a-month job waiting for her, and it was not up to her to decide who she'd marry.
One by one, impoverished-looking Chinese men came in to shop for an obedient, Southeast Asian wife who would give them an heir.
When I was sitting there so the Chinese men could look at me, I knew that I had been trafficked. They chose us, and I felt like a prostitute, she said.
As soon as she arrived at her new husband's house, the abuse began.
[W]hen I didnt want to sleep with him, when I tried to resist, he grabbed me. He got angry and pushed me on the bed and had sex with me, Kai said, adding that the same ordeal would take place up to four times a day.
The United Nations reports that millions of people worldwide are victims of trafficking. This may be a conservative estimate, as most cases are thought never to be reported. The picture of shackled slaves inspected at auctions has changed into a secretive and much more nuanced underground trade worth billions.
Asia, and in particular Southeast Asia, remains one of the key areas of origin and destination of trafficking in persons, said Annette Lyth, the UN's Inter-Agency Program on Human Trafficking's regional program coordinator.
Overall, about 80 percent of victims are trafficked for sexual exploitation, forced to work in brothels or, like in the case of Kai, sold as brides against their will.
After two months, Kai finally managed to get ahold of a phone and called a Cambodian radio station whose phone number she remembered, begging for help.
Within several days, she was repatriated.
Others, Cambodian authorities say, are not as lucky. The first cases of trafficking Cambodian brides to China were recorded about two years ago, when families informed human rights organizations that they were looking for their daughters, who had disappeared in China.
Every month, said Choun Bun Eng, chairwoman of the Cambodian government's committee to fight human trafficking, police arrest traffickers just before they send women off to China. But the majority slip through.
We don't know why this has risen so much, but we take it seriously, Choun said.
Kai's traffickers have disappeared and will most likely never be arrested. Of the two women who boarded the plane with her, one has been repatriated, and the second remains missing. Nobody, not even her family, knows what happened to her.
Back at her home in Cambodia, Kai said that tending after her small plot of land and the handful of chickens now makes her feel content.
In a way, I was lucky, she said.
And when that starts to not work any more, look for military conquests in order to get wives.
I hear Russia has extra women.
That has been the traditional way. One of the pillars of Islam is war and sexual booty. They even promise it in death (72 raisin-eyed virgins).
But, there is another way. I hear the Japanese are making tremendous advances in fembots. /S
Excellent looking-on-the-bright-side skills, Kai. She's fortunate that she wasn't pregnant, forced into abortion, or infected with an std, or at least the article doesn't mention it.
And there's a "Blue Light" sale now ongoing in Nigeria.
Yep, most non-muslim post-Soviet nations has 5 to 15% surplus female population. For Russia is is about 10 million extra women and it makes a mail order bride phenomenon. For some reason China is not a primary destination for them. Many women are moving to North America and Europe, others are importing grooms from Middle East and Turkey.
I would not be surprised if they head to the middle east... they can eliminate the men who are trying to force islam on them and take the women
The end result will be China becoming a much more racially diverse nation.
I don't think they are prepared to deal with that.
"Your Women, how much for the Women?"
The most valuable Chinese bride will be one of those adopted Chinese orphans who has a US passport...or one of the anchor babies birthed in the US. Chinese millionaires will be paying parents big bucks to marry one and get a bonus of a US green card.
I work with a Chinese girl in mid 20's that came here a few years ago for school and now works here. She has no clue about this kind of stuff. Chicoms are great at hiding it from their won.
Rape is not a good way to produce male children.
It is scientific fact that a female's orgasm increases the chances, ( If I remember correctly, by a factor of 2 ). of male offspring. It is doubtful that rape would produce a female orgasm so that most of these pregnancies would produce female offspring.
Has it occurred to anyone else that perhaps China planned this all along? Planned having up to 100 million young men, without the possibility of wives?
Why would they do that, you ask?
Because it would make one hell of an aggressive army.
You draft those young men with no chance for wives, and you tell them "It's China's turn to rule: Vietnam, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. After we conquer and annex them, the Motherland will reward you with land and wives from the new annexed provinces".
China would get a twofer: attrition would kill off many of those millions in war, and the survivors would plant colonies, force the spread of Chinese language and culture in the new lands, and eventually ethnically "China-ize" all of that fertile land in neighboring countries that China covets so badly.
Heh, funny you should say that. I know a guy that married a Chinese woman. He was complaining that US Immigration wouldn't let her whole family come over. I don't know if she (and he) just assumed that would automatically happen after marriage to a US citizen, but a lot of people do assume that's a package deal.
It is scientific fact that a females orgasm increases the chances, ( If I remember correctly, by a factor of 2 ). of male offspring. It is doubtful that rape would produce a female orgasm so that most of these pregnancies would produce female offspring.
The men here are already trained.
For what?
Color me highly skeptical.
The sex distribution of babies across the world is very similar, within about a 1% range if I remember correctly.
I seriously doubt the percentage of sexually satisfied women is that consistent across the world's many cultures, some of which don't even recognize the existence of the female orgasm.
Also, given the many cultures which inflict genital mutilation on their women, one of two factors would need to apply for this orgasm/male child link to hold true.
Either women after genital mutilation are still able to achieve orgasm at a rate comparable to unmutilated women, something that flies in the fact of current feminist dogma. Or societies that practice FGM would quickly have a severe shortage of male babies, which would in a couple of decades result in their being overrun by their enemies.
I guess there is a run on black US women from them. /sarc
All China has to do is look at the USA and notice the mess that diversity has caused.
Now why should Chinese millionaires want a US green card when they will soon own the country anyway?
Indochina is now a place to get wives... future colonies?
I have a wife for sale, cheap.........
"Me love you long time."
If she is from a city, in particular one of the large coastal cities, she wouldn't likely be aware of it. Chinese cities are flooded with under-30 girls - I was in Guangzhou for business last week and the malls looked like they had been hit by a girl-tsunami. The shortages occur in the rural areas, where the sex-selection abortions are common and every girl who can flees to the nearest city to avoid ending up as a peasant farm wife.
So there may be a 100 million uneducated Chinese farmers who have no chance of getting married, but they also aren't likely to remember which end of a gun to point at the Vietnamese - so fears of a massive Chinese army of frustrated single men marching through Asia are more than a little overblown. :)
Please let me rephrase:
The statistics I mentioned apply to the USA, not the world. ;-)
And what is to happen to Kai's uncle who got her roped into this mess?
"but I do believe that male orgasm significantly increases the chance of offspring."
Why do some people find it necessary to be sarcastic?
Why do some people find it necessary to be sarcastic?
Layaway plan?
Noooooope! Cash and carry, no refund........
Given his lifestyle and vocation dealing with hunting, fishing, and fish charters, and the fact that he's not very good looking, I never thought he would have ever found a girl to marry..........
He proved me wrong. This lady sounds like she was sent to Pat from heaven and enjoys everything he does and treats him like a king. They are truly in love..........
Any warranties, or as-is? :-)
"Because its more polite that telling you that there is no evidence for your absurd theory that female orgasm helps determine the sex of the baby."
More polite? Nah, simply being a jerk will do that.
Also, I think that you meant to type, 'Because its more polite than telling you', not 'Because its more polite that telling you'.
Please do a Google or Bing search for "female orgasm helps determine gender of offspring" without the quotation marks, sarcastic one. There are simply too many references to list them here. Do the search yourself. ;-)
You are now on my 'ignore list'. ;-)
Do I really have to comment?
That is horrifying.
"Do you really believe everything you've "researched" on Google?"
No, of course not. My post was regarding something that I learned in high-school science class in the late 1950s but I could not post that because the original poster concerning this matter asked for direct evidence. Google or Bing was the best that I could do under the circumstances. Thus far, I have read the words, 'absurd' and 'horrifying' but, again, thus far no one has given to me direct evidence to the contrary except to use negative wording. That is most amusing to me. ;-) Where is YOUR evidence which disputes my high-school, science class?
Referencing my comment above about learning of this phenomenon in high-school, science class, maybe you and the original poster were 'edumacated in our vaunted, publik skul sistum'. ;-)
Regards ;-)
Sex is determined by the one sperm which fertilizes the egg. There is no mechanical or chemical way to sort the sperm, short of flow cytometry techniques which are done in a laboratory at a very high cost.
Disclaimer: I am not a microbiologist... but I did attempt some flow cytometry last night at a Holiday Inn.
Maybe because you invited it, opened the door so to speak?
In all fairness, our memories fail us as we get older. I know that female orgasms facilitate pregnancy so you may be getting that confused with something else.

Unveiled Wednesday on Twitter, it's a Shepard Fairey-esque rendering of Jacksonville state attorney Angela Corey, who tried Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin—and whom G-Zimms has taken to calling "Angie Cakes." Ever graceful in victory, you know. It's captioned: "I have this much respect for the American judicial system," something George presumably fantasizes about Corey saying, although in a Freudian-Lacanian critical sense, given the hot colors, we could certainly imagine a certain amount of phallogocentric desire and projection on Georgie's part. Advertisement Formally speaking, his depiction of hands is not so much mannerist as Mommy-'n'-Me fingerpaint, and the use of shadow on Corey suggests her neck is about to be attacked by a ferret. The totality of the painting assaults the viewer's eyeballs. But then, assault is part and parcel of the artist's milieu. How much will this sell for? Who knows? Zimmerman's last work went for six figures. So far, he's mum on the value of this magnum opus. But he does have some thoughts on God he'd like to share with you now: Sponsored Well said, freed man. And good luck with the art thing. Though we're not sure you'll ever top your most memorable work.Reply218 repliesLeave a reply

Freer and Sackler Gallery's Summertime "Asia After Dark" Returns June 7 to Celebrate Bollywood and Bhangra
The Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery will host "Asia After Dark: Bollywood and Beyond," the 10th in its series of popular afterhours parties, on Saturday, June 7, featuring the sights and sounds of classic Bollywood films, ancient Indian artwork and modern Indian American culture. The event, which highlights the contemporary art exhibition "Perspectives: Rina Banerjee" at the Sackler and "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation" at the National Museum of Natural History, will celebrate Indian culture while following the Asia After Dark mantra: "Art, Drink, and Be Happy."
From 8 p.m. to midnight, the subterranean Sackler Gallery will transform into a dance floor for beats by world-renowned Basement Bhangra pioneer DJ Rekha and live dance performances by the South Asian Performing Arts Network and Institute. Guests can mingle while enjoying lessons in Bharata Natyam and Bollywood dance and creating amusing photo booth memories with Booth-o-Rama. Inspired by the tiara of Miss America 2014, Indian American Nina Davuluri, and embellished figures from ancient Indian art, guests can create and adorn themselves with hand-made crowns. Throughout the evening, Bollywood-themed refreshments by Ping Pong Dim Sum and delicious bites from food trucks will be available for purchase.
Contemporary art curator Carol Huh will also lead talks of the site-specific installation "A World Lost" by Indian American artist Rina Banerjee in its final weekend on view, and associate curator of South and Southeast Asian art Debra Diamond will be on hand to explore the Sackler's collections of South Asian and Himalayan Art.
Tickets can be purchased at asia.si.edu/asiaafterdark, and are $15 in advance, $25 at the door, or free for members of the Silk Road Society—the galleries' dynamic membership group for young professionals. Guests can upgrade for an additional $10 to skip the entrance lines, enjoy a VIP-only bartender and get an invite to an exclusive future Silk Road Society tour of "Beyond Bollywood" and curator meet-and-greet.
Guests must be 21 years old with valid photo ID to attend.
"Asia After Dark: Bollywood and Beyond" is presented in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. For a full listing of the Freer and Sackler galleries' programs for young professionals, visit asia.si.edu/youngvisionary.
The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, located at 1050 Independence Avenue S.W., and the adjacent Freer Gallery of Art, located at 12th Street and Independence Avenue S.W., are on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day (closed Dec. 25), and admission is free. The galleries are located near the Smithsonian Metrorail station on the Blue and Orange lines. For more information about the Freer and Sackler galleries and their exhibitions, programs and other public events, visit www.asia.si.edu. For general Smithsonian information, call (202) 633-1000.

With Christmas less than a week away, this post brings together two topics I associate with this time of year: charity, and the delicious, complex, fortified wine called Port.
Category: Port
Portugal: Small But Mighty in the World of Wine
For a relatively tiny country—smaller in area than the state of Kentucky–Portugal is a prodigious producer of wine. It has long been the source of some of the wine world's great fortified wines—Port from the Douro and vintage Madeira from the island of Madeira off the coast of North Africa. Since the country's entry into the European Union in 1986, Portugal has also increasingly become a source for great dry whites and reds, as well as some very good sparkling wines.
2011 Wine & Spirits Top 100 Tasting: Highs and Lows
This is an event I look forward to every year, even if I've ragged a bit on the opacity of the selection criteria in the past. There's always an eclectic group of producers ranging from the very well known and perpetually excellent to the less well known and only occasionally excellent, or at least aspiring to excellence. There's enough of each to keep it interesting. There's also always great food on hand. This year's venue, the Metreon, had its pluses and minuses. The view from the Metreon balcony is one of the best in San Francisco, so the outdoor, balcony part of the event, especially given the beautiful weather conditions, proved to be a scenic and inspiring place to taste wine. The indoor part, on the other hand, especially after dark, tended to be gloomy, cavernous and more than a little depressing.
50-year-old Wines at the 5th Floor to Celebrate a 5th Decade
We celebrated Sandy's fifth decade at the Fifth Floor with a special menu that Executive Chef David Bazirgan came up with to pair with our wines. The food was creative and outstanding. Our wines were very good overall, and nothing was corked or faulty. As 1961 was not only a good year for people, but also an excellent year in Bordeaux, Barolo and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, it was a treat to have a bottle of that vintage from each of those appellations, all of which were in remarkably good shape. In short, it was a memorable night, and a great celebration.
Lifetime Top Wines
To date, my top 15 wines, wines that I've rated 99 points or higher, are dominated by some of the world's priciest first growth Bordeaux, rare vintage Madeira, and powerful, great Rhônes. There's six Bordeaux, four vintage Madeiras, and three from the Rhône. There's also one Napa Cab on the list–the '93 Screaming Eagle–and a single Port, the exquisite 1994 Quinta do Noval Nacional.
5th Annual Grand Tasting of Portuguese Wines
In general, as was the case last year with a different set of producers, I found a great number of terrific values in dry wines from Portugal, with retail prices as low as $5 to $10 for some fairly well made and adequate drinkers. I also found a significantly higher number of wines meriting 90 or more points than I did last year. This year, of the 53 producers whose wines I tried, 22 of them produced at least one wine that I rated 90 points or higher.
Cork vs. Screw Cap at 14 years: PlumpJack Reserve Cabernet
So what's my takeaway from this tasting? Well, it's just one more data point: a sample of a wine meant for aging, nearly 14 years from the vintage, where the Stelvin closed bottle resulted in a tastier, plusher sample, with more fruit and some development of the tannins and oak than the identical wine sealed under cork. I must admit I'm surprised, as it's not what I expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jojo04 Healthy food Not only healthy, my dog loves it. He is very picky. April 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by relwell Happy dogs My two dogs love this Wilderness dog food! They don't like many dog foods!! Thanks Blue Buffalo for coming up with this one!!r February 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DJ63 Excellent food I have a very picky Pom and have tried a lot of different foods. She will eat this better than anything else I've tried. Highly recommend this food to anyone with a small breed dog who is a picky eater. November 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pooh13 I bought this for my newly diagnosed diabetic dog... She loved it.... I mixed it along with her Nature's Recipe easy to digest food, in hopes of weaning her off, and just feeding her this. Unfortunately I had to stop feeding her it, because her glucose numbers were too high. If it wasn't for her condition though, she would have loved this food! July 27, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by FurBabyFan Cans are half filled Although the product seems to be a favorite with our small guy, I am disappointed that most cans are half to 3/4 full. Lots of liquid. We pay less for the the chicken dinner and those cans are completely filled with product. The wild chicken and turkey cans are not completely filled and COST MORE. I am retired and love our little rescue. SO, we are kind of sensitive to buying a more expensive product and not getting all we paid for. Your costs are NOT competitive with local retail outlets and there is no economic advantage of buying on your web site. September 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeakersDad No More Meal-time Drama Finally, a safe, top quality dog food my dog actually loves to eat! I've struggled to find the magic combination of a grain free, high quality US made food that my dog won't turn up his nose at. Blue Buffalo Wilderness for small breeds is the solution. Convenient small cans with lined interior to make keeping leftovers fresh in the fridge, flavor my dog loves and will eat without pitching a fit and food that agrees with his digestive system. Thank you Blue Buffalo and Chewy.com! November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tats76 Good dog, good dog food We have a 60 lb dog who has to take a pill every day. She's a smart cookie, and even using peanut butter, can usually manage to eat the treat and spit out the pill. I use half a can of this food and mix the pill in. She doesn't want to leave one single speck left in the bowl, so the pill is always gone now. I picked this brand out based on ingredients, and am very happy with the consistency of the food, how it smells, and our dog, of course, gives it four paws up! January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosalind Amazing I have two chiwawa's who will eat just about anything therefore I did not have to be careful chosing their food. I did some reasearch on the foods I was giving them which were all top brands and found how much waste they were receiving in their diet. The Blue Buffalo ingrediance is a high-protein with a much higher concentration of turkey and chicken and they absolutely love it! One can feeds both. I highly recommend this product!

Spotted on Searchblog and elsewhere, news that Google demonstrated a tool at Web 2.0 today that uses pattern recognition to determine sex in photos. You're right John, it sure sounds cool. I can't wait to see it (no pun intended) in action. Plenty of other companies and organizations are also doing work in related areas like finding visually similar imagery.
I've posted about just a few of them including Cydral and LTU Technologies in the past. More about LTU here including presentations from the Search Engine Meeting. Finally, Freenet.de from Germany (interface translated here via Yahoo) allows you to limit your search for imagery that must include the face of a human. Another option allows you to limit to terms that actually appear in the image itself. To give it a go, open another tab, and run the your search using the German language interface (and some German words).

News Source : Delightful Jacob inspiring Hawkesbury residents to step up to help other kids with cerebral palsy
RICHMOND, MONDAY 25 AUGUST 2014 – He may only be 6 years old, but he is already inspiring his local community to take action to change lives.
Little Jacob Currant from Richmond has hemiplegia cerebral palsy, but having a disability hasn't stopped him from living his life to the fullest.
Jacob's parents Georgina and Ross run the local Baker's Delight at Richmond Marketplace and have been beyond delighted to watch their son overcome challenges and exceed the doctors' expectations.
'We were originally told that Jacob may not walk or talk, but he definitely does both of those things', Georgina said. 'Jacob has benefitted immensely from ongoing and regular therapy and services from Cerebral Palsy Alliance, and you should have seen the smile on his face when he started school this year alongside his little friends. It was one of absolute delight!!'
The kindergarten student at Hobartville Public School is the inspiration for his family and friends registering a team called 'Jacob's Delight' for the month-long activity challenge STEPtember.
Participants form a team of four and each do 10,000 steps a day from 3-30 September and log their daily activity online. More than 40 activities can also be converted into steps including cycling, rowing, surfing and going to the gym.
They also raise money to help the Cerebral Palsy Alliance provide vital equipment and therapy for thousands of children just like Jacob.
'Cerebral Palsy Alliance does amazing work and the team is a fantastic support for families that are affected by cerebral palsy' Georgina said. 'It's all about spreading the word about cerebral palsy and helping raise money for vital therapy and services which change lives.'
Jacob would love the wide Hawkesbury community to also step up and register to take part in STEPtember. It is a great excuse for people to shake off the winter blues and get active in spring.
'When you see how far a child can come with the help of Cerebral Palsy Alliance it makes you realise just how important this support is,' Georgina said.
To sign up for STEPtember or to support 'Jacob's Delight' go to www.steptember.org.au
Attention media: Jacob and his family are available for interview and photos. Please call Jacob's mum Georgina on (02 4578 3219).

Valley tops in US for home flippers
PHOENIX — Home flippers in the Valley are staying busy these days.
According to data from Realty Trac, there were a nation-leading 1,438 home flips in the Phoenix area during the second quarter of 2014, compared to 1,371 in Los Angeles.
More than 7 percent of all home sales here were flips.
"Especially as the market gets older, flippers are an important piece of (a healthy housing market)," said Realty Trac Vice President Daren Blomquist. "However, if you see flipping become too dominant in the market, that's a sign of over speculation and potentially another housing bubble."
But we're not in any danger of another bubble right now. The only downside for investors is they're not making as much profit on flips these days.
"The average return on investment in Phoenix is only 16 percent, down from 31 percent a year ago," said Blomquist.
Slightly less than 1 percent of homes flipped in the second quarter cost at least $1 million, up from 0.82 percent a year ago. Blomquist said 44 percent of homes flipped cost between $100,000 and $200,000.

By Alexander Bolton - 03/22/12 06:00 PM EDT
The Senate on Thursday passed legislation barring lawmakers from using insider information for personal profit, sending the bill to the White House.
The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act already approved by the House passed the upper chamber easily by a vote of 96-3.
Instead of holding a conference between Senate and House negotiators to discuss the differences, Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidDems urge Grayson to end Senate bid Reid: Trump is a 'hateful con man' Reid: DNC never gave Sanders a 'fair deal' MORE (D-Nev.) opted to take up the House bill.
The Grassley language had created unusual political bedfellows.
House Republican Whip Eric CantorEric CantorThree strategies to help Clinton build 'Team of Teams' David Brat may run for Senate if Kaine becomes VP The Hill's 12:30 Report MORE (R-Va.) opposed the language and did not include it in the House bill that passed overwhelmingly, 417-2.
Reid and his leadership team, along with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellReid: Trump is a 'hateful con man' McAuliffe: Clinton won't move TPP without changes Scalise says FCC chair should abandon set-top box plan MORE (R-Ky.), voted against the Grassley amendment in the Senate, but leading Democrats including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) supported it in the House.
Grassley's language would have dramatically expanded the disclosure of lobbying activities by requiring specialists who glean valuable information from Capitol Hill to register and report their activities after making even one contact to gather political intelligence. Hedge funds and other money managers pay top dollar for the information, which can be used to make lucrative trades.
Grassley voted against final passage of the STOCK Act in the Senate along with GOP Sens. Richard BurrRichard BurrThe Trail 2016: Putting the past behind them The Hill's 12:30 Report Burr pledges to retire after one more Senate term MORE (N.C.) and Tom CoburnTom CoburnThe Trail 2016: Words matter Ex-Sen. Coburn: I won't challenge Trump, I'll vote for him Coburn: I haven't seen 'self-discipline' from Trump MORE (Okla.).
Supporters of the bill hailed the measure, which they said could restore public confidence in Congress.
"We passed a strong bill with teeth that will clearly and expressly make it illegal for members of Congress, their staff and their families to gain personal profits from nonpublic information gained through their service," said Sen. Kirsten GillibrandKirsten GillibrandTim Kaine backs call to boost funding for Israeli missile defense The Trail 2016: The newrevolution begins Democratic National Convention event calendar MORE (D-N.Y.), a sponsor of the legislation.
"When President Obama signs the STOCK Act, we will have begun to restore some of the public's faith in Washington," she added.
Lawmakers sometimes possess nonpublic information that can be worth millions of dollars if known in advance by a well-connected trader.
Reid said earlier this week that he would skip appointing conferees to negotiate differences between the Senate and House bills. Reid said that unnamed senators would have objected to proceeding to conference and it would have taken too much time to vote them down.
Insider trading surged to the top of the political agenda in recent months after a report by CBS's "60 Minutes" alleged senior lawmakers had profited from the knowledge they accrued as congressional insiders.
The report raised questions about healthcare stocks House Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerDem drops out of race for Boehner's old seat Conservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days MORE (R-Ohio) bought during the 2010 healthcare reform debate once it became clear that the proposal of a government-run health insurance option would fail.
BoehnerJohn BoehnerDem drops out of race for Boehner's old seat Conservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days MORE said he does not personally manage his stock portfolio.
CBS also scrutinized Pelosi's participation in an initial public stock offering from Visa. She and her husband bought stock in the company while a bill to limit fees charged by credit card companies was pending in the House.
A spokesman for Pelosi at the time dismissed the allegations as "a right-wing smear."

I've got a Clipper system writing csv files to a Windows directory. I have a Perl script running on a Linux server that is reading a mount of that Windows directory and importing the files to a database.
Right now we're using flag files to indicate when a csv is no longer being written to; the flag file gets written after the csv is done. I'd really rather just get what I need from the csv itself, but I can't seem to find a way to tell when the file is open and being written to.
lsof doesn't seem to answer my need. I've tried using
flock and open the file with an exclusive lock, thinking it might throw an error if the file is being modified, but it doesn't.
Any thoughts?

Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
My Laptop is HP Pavilion G6 2015 tx after upgrade to windows 8.1, bluetooth is not working also the battery drain has increased anyone know a fix atleast for bluetooth problem ???
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Unfortunately, the BT v 3.0 radio on your Ralink wireless card is not compatible with either Windows 8 or W8.1.
There is no way to get it to work.
You may want to see if installing the latest chipset driver helps the battery issue.
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Thanks for the reply Paul ............... accd to ur comment for my laptop Bluetooth shouldn't work on Windows 8 and 8.1 either ................ but the Bluetooth was working fine on Windows 8 :\ after the upgrade the problem has occured
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
You're very welcome.
That is very interesting, because I didn't know of anyone who upgraded to W8.0 with a Ralink wireless card with the BT 3.0 radio that got the BT to work at all.
We tried the W7 drivers, and they didn't work.
That is why you don't see a W8 Ralink BT driver for the bluetooth on your PC's support and driver page amongst the other 11 drivers listed.
The Ralink 3.0 version of BT is not supported in W8.
While somehow the BT has worked in W8 for you, I'm afraid your luck has run out.
Unless by some fluke, HP installed a card with the BT 4.0 radio on your model...
You can try this W8 driver for the Ralink card with the BT 4.0 radio, but don't get your hopes up.
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Actually Paul I was using Intel/PRO set 2. something version earlier, don remember the exact version ............ When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 my Bluetooth button was not even visible in PC Settings->PC and Devices -> Bluetooth, after updating from BT 2.0 to BT 3.0 the Bluetooth button do came back but doesn't help in connecting bluetooth anyways. The same issue I faced when I upgraded to Win8 from Win7 the bluetooth wasn't working but updating the drivers it did worked for me ............ . What this means is I have to degrade to Win8 again
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
So much for what the parts list says about what model wireless card is installed in your notebook!
It says your notebook came with a Ralink Wireless/BT combo card.
Try this W8.1 Intel BT software and driver from the new HP 430 G1 business notebook...
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
my pc is HP Pavilion AMD G6-4400M CPU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics and RAM 6 GB. When i installed windows 8.1 Enterprise N version i can not find Bluetooth Driver Please help me !!!
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Hello keo_007kimsong,
Thank you for the information. I would like to assist you with trying to find the drivers for Bluetooth. I would need to know the full model number of your computer. The model number that you have provided is not pulling up a computer for me. To confirm the model number, I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'.
Thank you.
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Re: Bluetooth Not Working after upgrading to Windows 8.1
Thank you for the information. I have included the document 'Using Bluetooth Devices (Windows 8)' this will go through the different options, and making sure that it connected properly. As well I have included the document 'Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8)'. Please follow the information for Software and drivers installed, to make sure that the latest driver is installed for Bluetooth.
Please let me know if you are still having issue with connecting Bluetooth, thank you.

Help!!: The Lost Reference: (A Modified Newton Method for Square Roots)
Square root
In mathematics, a square root of a number a is a number y such that y = a, or, in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y × y) is a. For example, 4 is a square root of 16 because 4 = 16. Every non-negative real number a has a unique non-negative square root, called the principal square root, which is denoted by, where ¿ is called radical sign. For example, the principal square root of 9 is 3, denoted, because {{{1}}} and 3 is non-negative.

Newton's method
In numerical analysis, Newton's method (also known as the Newton¿Raphson method), named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function. The algorithm is first in the class of Householder's methods, succeeded by Halley's method. The method can also be extended to complex functions and to systems of equations.
more from Wikipedia
Rate of convergence
In numerical analysis, the speed at which a convergent sequence approaches its limit is called the rate of convergence. Although strictly speaking, a limit does not give information about any finite first part of the sequence, this concept is of practical importance if we deal with a sequence of successive approximations for an iterative method, as then typically fewer iterations are needed to yield a useful approximation if the rate of convergence is higher.

Cultivating A $37 Tomato
A novice tomato grower, I bit earlier this week into the first of what promised to be a juicy crop of tomatoes.
I was surprised to discover it wasn't that tasty. Kind of bland actually. Like something I could buy for maybe a dollar at my local grocery store.
Then I started thinking about how much this tomato had cost. The plant itself was a gift back in May, but flush with the excitement of my new farmgirl ways, I had run out and bought a $20 no-rust stand for it. The organic fertilizer was about $9, and the bugspray $8. That made it a $37 tomato.
That estimate doesn't even include my time. I spent hours watering, applying fertilizer, spraying for bugs, monitoring soil conditions, and generally hovering over my plant like an anxious parent.
When the first yellow flower blossomed, I was delighted; when the first speck of a tiny green tomato appeared, I was ecstatic. Naturally, I was anticipating my progeny would taste well above average. But like so many parents, I was forced to accept rather mediocre results.
Let's not forget the opportunity cost. Assume I spent 12 hours total tending to my tomatoes. Had I spent those 12 hours on journalistic endeavors, even on low-end writing wages I could have earned enough to keep myself in tomatoes for months.
To be fair, there are still about a dozen tomatoes on the vine. Let's be optimistic and assume they all ripen and that I get to them before the birds and raccoons. Let's even assume they are delicious. That's still $3.08 per tomato.
The moral: Money-saving exercises often aren't money-saving at all. Next year, I'll go back to buying tomatoes from the store. And I might even go heirloom.

English Grammar in Use Supplementary Exercises With answers
Cambridge University Press; 3 edition (May 3, 2004) | ISBN:0521755484 | PDF | 142 pages | 17 Mb
English Grammar in Use Supplementary Exercises is for intermediate and advanced students who want extra practice in grammar, without help from a teacher.
There are 200 exercises in this new edition. Each exercise relates to a unit or units in English Grammar in Use new edition 2004, with the unit number(s) at the top of the page. All the answers are given in the Key (pages 121-136). Some exercises ask you to use your own ideas. For these, you can check the Example answers in the Key. You can use this book if you don't have English Grammar in Use, but for an explanation of the grammar points, you need to check in English Grammar in Use.
The grammar points covered in the book are not in order of difficulty, so you can go straight to the parts where you need the most practice. Where there are several exercises on one grammar point, however, the easier ones come first. It's a good idea to do each exercise, check your answers and then go on to the next one.
Many of the exercises are in the form of emails, letters, conversations or short articles. You can use these as models for writing or speaking practice.
