Global Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices Market Dashes to Keep Pace with Growing Number of Patients
Is the Current Rate of Development in Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices Sufficient?
That is hard to say for the near future, but currently, the demand is slightly higher than the supply, not because the supply is slow, but it is because the demand itself is accelerating too fast. The global blood pressure monitoring devices market is now ramping up its processes to keep up with these numbers. Even though it is an already established and almost mature market, at least in developing nations, the global blood pressure monitoring devices market continues to progress at a high rate of 7.3% between 2015 and 2023, according to Transparency Market Research. This market was already valued at US$2.0 bn in 2014, and if the current growth rate holds true, it will reach US$3.8 bn by the end of 2023. This is a lot to say about a market that is only based on measurement devices excluding diagnostics and therapeutics.
Are Developed Nations at Higher Risk of High Blood Pressure Issues?
It is a largely known fact that blood pressure issues are collectively one of the largest problems that several public health agencies are facing worldwide. This is especially the case in developed countries, owing to a high consumption rate of convenience foods, lack of physical activity and obesity, and a stressful career-oriented lifestyle. According to the CDC, at least 70 mn American citizens suffer from high blood pressure. That's about 29% of the population, or 1 out of 3 American adults. Of the total number of high blood pressure patients in the U.S., only about half of them have their blood pressure situation under control. In the meanwhile, about 1 of every 3 adults in the U.S. reportedly has pre-hypertension. This is a condition where the numbers are not high enough to be considered a problem, but are still higher than normal. Owing to all these factors, the U.S. alone spends about US$46 bn on the various blood pressure treatment markets and industries per year.
Browse Research Release:
How are Masked and White-coat Blood Pressure Issues Influencing this Market?
Both white-coat and masked blood pressure readings are a major reason for inaccurate readings for a large percentage of patients. White-coat hypertension is when a patient shows a spike in blood pressure at the doctor's office and no place else, while masked hypertension shows a lower blood pressure reading at the doctor's office than elsewhere. Both situations are caused by an array of reasons, but both are responsible for misdiagnosis and wrong treatment. One of the more agreed upon solutions for this is the use of wearable technology that can allow the monitoring of blood pressure throughout the day. This will allow doctors to take an average reading and also help check the times of day when the blood pressure spikes. Wearable tech can also help diagnosing patients with pre-hypertension conditions.

Creating a Mold Free Home
When you own a home you have a series of chores and responsibilities that must be maintained if you wish for the home to be a clean and safe environment. One of the worst things that you have to safeguard your home from is that of water damage, especially when it takes on the form of black mold. Year after year homeowners lose millions of dollars to black mold damage. It is one of the worst and most hazardous substances that you can have in your home. If you want to know what black mold can do to your home and how to get rid of it then read on.
Where to Find Mold In Your Home
The first thing that you need to understand about mold is that it is only able to grow in places where the following two elements are present: heat and moisture. This is why you are more likely to find mold in areas of the home that have exposed piping or in the kitchen and bathroom. Any area in your home where water can reach the surface is a likely candidate for mold presence. If you suspect there is mold in your home then you need to find an expert on mold remediation in Orlando Florida.
What Mold Is Capable Of Doing
Mold is a very corrosive and toxic substance. When it latches on to an area of your home one of the first things it will do is cause discoloration in the form of dark splotchy areas. From there it will begin to slowly eat away at the surface. If it makes its way to the wooden structure of your home then it will not be long before it turns that structure into something highly unstable and unsafe. To learn more about black mold and what it can do to your home visit damagecontrol-911.com.
Making things worse are the effects that black mold can have on your health. Black mold sends hundreds of people to the hospital every year. This is because it travels in your home by sending out small, microscopic spores. These spores float through the air and you can easily inhale them without even realizing it. They can very quickly cause you to develop respiratory illnesses and they could even kill you.
Here are some tips you can use to make your home safe and mold free:

Ukraine: Out of the Frying Pan• antiwar.com
The fall of Yanukovych, welcomed by virtually everyone in Ukraine including his own party, means that Ukraine is out of the frying pan. Now the challenge facing Ukrainians – and the country's neighbors – is to prevent a tumble into the fire. (Photo: Sasha Maksymenko / Flickr)
In the end, the street triumphed over the elite. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych tried to hang on to power, and failed. Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to maintain Russian influence, and failed. The EU tried to mediate, and failed. And the United States tried to…well, I'll get to that in a moment.

Finally, a peep meet. Momma and I got to meet up again. It was a good reason too. We went to go meet up with Weltek. She was in town for a conference. Momma came by and picked me up and off to Kim's hotel we went. We met up with her. She spotted us quickly. We then went for a walk down town Dallas. The lights were wonderful. We went to the West End. We started out dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Had to make sure Kim got crabs. Then went over to Gators for some drinks. We had a lot of fun, but as most things it came to an end. Some of the highlights would have included momma getting shit on by a bird walking under a tree. She will not live this down. Anyway, look forward to many new peep meets in the near future.

The last thing a .45 needs is 18-22BHN "hard" cast bullets. 7-10 BHN is near perfect and the current soft 12-15 BHN is still better than "hard" cast.
I have never heard of a plated bullet giving match level accuracy, other than some claims about Gold Dots.
Of course, one issue is if the gun you buy is capable of match grade accuracy.
I would say the areas for accuracy are: shooter, gun, trigger, load--in that order.

In Their Own Words

Whitefield Wrote of Local Travel
Anglican minister George Whitefield wrote of his return to Savannah after a visit to some outlying families:
"About ten o'Clock this Evening returned to Savannah, having set out from thence Yesterday to visit four or five Families that live at some of the outward Settlements about twelve Miles off. - Their Beginnings as yet are but small, but I cannot help thinking there are Foundations laying for great temporal and spiritual Blessings in Georgia, when the inhabitants are found worthy. - Blessed be God, in Savannah they will hear the Word gladly, and People every where receive me with the utmost Civility and are not angry when I reprove them."

Special Meeting to Review Proposed ByLaws
The Bylaws Committee is inviting all to come and hear the presentation of the proposed updates to our Bylaws and Articles of Association. The Special Meeting, affirmed in writing by three members, is scheduled for Sunday, March 29, 2015, at 5:00 PM. There will be a brief presentation about the process and the purpose of the Bylaws Committee.
Essentially, the Committee was commissioned by the President to look into better job descriptions of the Officers, to better identify areas of responsibility for Board Members, and to create a more transparent governing process. The first meeting the Committee chose to review all of the Bylaws. The Committee met faithfully almost every week for eight months to write a seven page document. No votes were ever taken at any meeting – we operated with the idea of consensus. Nothing is in the proposed Bylaws that any of us cannot support.
The general outcome of the process is a redefining of the governing body of the Alano Club. Emphasis has been placed on the Board Responsibilities. The Board is being given great responsibility and the authority to fulfill their duties. We believe the new governance will better protect our mission and our assets. Another outcome is a more transparent process to the general public. We are attempting to join the larger public health community in and around St. Joseph.
Please plan on coming to the meeting.
Sunday, March 29, 2015 5:00 PM.
Alano Club Main Hall.

The acceleration of the poet from the point to another, require the frequencies among changeable and unchangeable. This, of course, will impact, according to the process of rising and falling, the emotional ability of the poet. This frequency, which doesn't meaning the unrest, can't abolish a poetical characteristics of the text, but flourishing it through method, idea, observing and function.
Abstract Alienation as an alternative to orientation which embodied in exploring the other by the practice of Elias Al-Mosuli as if it was an act that described to other according to the east vision to the west pivoted in the mixing and meeting pot that made by Elias Al-Mosuli throughout his journey that covered new fields that never had been reached by another orientalist to form an image for the other according to anthropological and paleographical data to for cognitive ,historical and social dimensions in a text that forms the other's miage. Elias Al-Mosuli started his long journey from Baghdad to visit the holy places in the 17th century. The journey lasted 15 years (1668-1683).He visited many places till he reached Spain then to both Americas. Finally , he returned to Rome. According to the narrations and impressions of Elias Al-Mosuliu about Americas, we ca say that they form a fertilized field that concerned the history of the Americas as it represented as an honest image of the way that he had taken from Baghdad to Americas, and then the way he passed after his departure toward Rome. Throughout his records, he illustrated what drew his attention in the areas that were visited by him. He recorded his notes about the social, religious, economic, political, constructional aspects, the wonderful and popular stories. As well as, what he observed of churches and abbeys. He also described their constructions and the ways of reparations. The journey of Al-Moosuli has a great importance for it introduced a clear description of the life of that age throughout his dailies in the countries and villages. He introduced a vital description for his observations that refer to his observational importance ,in addition to the great importance of lies in their representation as a field visit characterized by being a summary that made the reader live in which with the writer.
ABSTRACT An accidental mishearing of a phrase sometimes makes the phrase acquire a new meaning. This mishearing is called 'mondegreen'. If utterances are composed, on purpose, to result in mondegreens, then their aim is to entertain the hearer and to create jokes and riddles, mainly. For example, a. "He took a nice cold shower after his date" (original). b. "He took an ice cold shower after his date" (mondegreen). If not, then those mondegreens are accidental and can be applied to any type of speech especially songs and lyrics where the phonological environment sounds ambiguous. For example, a. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" (original). b. "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" (mondegreen). The task of this paper is trying to answer the question why we mondegreen. To achieve that, some linguistic theories are applied to explain the act of mondegreening, then a phonological analysis is applied to a group of eight chosen texts. This paper handles, also, the definition of mondegreens, how it came into existence, and types of mondegreens. Finally, findings and conclusions will be listed at the end of the analysis.
ABSTRACT This research paper contains very important information about homonymy in Arabic and English which are gathered to be presented contrastively as much as possible.

ABSTRACT In the recent years the computer has established itself as an important feature of modern life. A common fact for the use of computers in language teaching and learning is that it is said to promote learner autonomy. It is recognized that many English foreign learners have difficulties in determining the correct placement of the stress in the word. Thus, this paper aims at using the computer as a technique in teaching stress and reducing the student's difficulties in determining the correct placement of the stress as well as its role in making technology an effective learning opportunity. It compares between the role of the computer and teacher in stress teaching and whether the first is better than the other or both are a complement to each other. A test has been given to twenty four Iraqi EFL students and their responses have been analyzed. Test validity and test reliability are the main procedures of the test. Their responses have shown that the using of the computer has an important role in improving the teaching of stress. However, it is hoped that this new technique can overcome the problems of EFL in stress.
ABSTRACT The major part of this research is on a theoretical cognitive analysis of the senses of the verb "to break" and their relations. Basically, it is an attempt to apply the polysemy model to this verb. According to this model, certain verbs, nouns, adjectives, or prepositions might have distinct senses but are systematically interrelated and related to each other. The secondary senses emerge from the central ones. Relatedness of senses (the central and secondary ones ) is either direct or indirect through cognitive – semantic realizations such as metaphorical extension, metonymy, generalization, specialization, and chaining. These cognitive – semantic realizations constitute a radial systematic network within the senses of the polysemous word .
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the image of women in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire which has not been tackled or given special attention by researchers. It concentrates on Williams as a feminist writer and his presentation of women as victims especially in this play. It presents an analysis of the female characters in this play and their negative relationships with men. It also shows the playwright's sympathy with women and their problems as they live in a materialistic male-dominated society.

Doubtlessly most wagers do close to simply twofold your wager while club diversions and Agen Judi Bola can bring gives back that are hundreds and even a huge number of times your wager. In any case, numerous sportsbooks offer a method for consolidating a few wagers as one to shape what is known as a parlay. Hypothetically, a parlay payout ought to be the result of the individual chances that make up the parlay. On the off chance that, for instance, you have five wagers each with 1:2 chances and shape a parlay, the payout ought to be 32 times the wager. We need to concede that it is positively more hard to win with parlays than with single wagers.
All things considered, the payout to a triumphant Agen Judi Bola parlay could be enormous to the point that it is incautious to sidestep parlay wagering as unachievable endeavor. Truly, if the sportsbook offers the correct instruments, then winning huge cash with parlays won't be as hard as it might appear to be.
There is a bunch of web Agen Judi Bola and online gambling club sites and hundreds are being included each year. Some are tricks, others may not survive the opposition, a couple figure out how to work because of their liberal rewards on beginning stores. As a rule, the bettor ought to be careful and not be appealed by this apparent benevolence as it might give a false representation of an inadequately composed wagering framework with only a couple wagering decisions and restricted choices.
The decision of a decent Agen Judi Bola would have been hugely encouraged if there existed a fair association that persistently screens and assesses the execution of each online sportsbook and web gambling club taking into account remarks and grumblings got from clients.

A series of devastating incidents make Jack's life a living nightmare and edge him closer and closer to paranoid psychosis.
He blames his misfortune on an old lady he crossed years ago, who he believes cursed him.
With his delusions ever increasing, and his life spiralling out of control, he knows that the only way to save himself is to kill the witch.
Granjy's Eyes tells the story of Ollie, a true psychopath.
Ruthless, arrogant and dangerous Ollie takes what he wants, when he wants it.
Only the blind old lady can see him for the monster he truly is and it is her eyes that will tear apart his own dark soul and teach him new meaning of the word 'remorse'.
Matt McAvoy is an English horror writer and criminologist. It was this work within the Criminal Justice System that inspired him to become a writer. His first book, The Black Line, gained him a cult following online and earned him a legion of online fans.
Granjy's Eyes is truly dark and disturbing, and shows the authors insight from working with dangerous adult offenders and captures the inner psychological conflict of a psychopath, something not properly narrated since The Wasp Factory.
Kill The Witch follows on from previous books with strong exploration of psychological conflict, this time through the protagonist's mental breakdown and onset of delusional paranoia.

So there, I tried installing the 2009 version on my computer running Windows 2003 server. When I run the installer, just after clicking a few steps up to where the process should now be installing, I get the error below. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Analysis of a high-converting sales letter.
Whether you're a product owner or an affiliate, sales letters that convert well should be a top priority.
For the product owner, you want to make more sales of your own product, and improving your conversion rate is the fastest way to make more money from the same amount of traffic to your site.
For the affiliate, knowing how to spot a sales letter that is likely to convert well makes you better at selecting products that are more likely to be profitable.
In order to help you understand what makes up a high-converting sales letter, I thought I'd break down a sales letter written by Alok Jain, the creator of On Demand Profits. His own figures (and mine) show that his sales page is currently achieving a 30% conversion rate.
No, that wasn't a typo. I meant 30%. Almost one in three people who went to his sales letter purchased the product. It's a great product, to be sure, but what got people to take the plunge and give it a try is his awesome sales letter. I'll break it down into its 7 major parts:
- Headline
- Proof #1
- Story
- Proof #2
- Risk Removal
- Price
Let's discuss each of these parts, one at a time.
The headline you choose to use at the top of your sales letter is incredibly important. It needs to scream "benefits." If the first sentence the visitor sees does not draw him in, he's far less likely to take the time to read the rest of your sales letter.
Alok's headline is oustanding in this regard:
"How I made over $2000 in just 10 days
using a ridiculously stupid technique
I stole from my own affiliate"
Notice how it stresses benefits. "How" lets the visitor know that they're about to learn something.
"I made over $2,000" lets the visitor know that what they are about to learn is very profitable.
"In just 10 days" lets them know that it works fast. After all, if the headline just read "How I made over $2000 using a ... ", then the visitor might think "My job pays $45,000 a year--who cares if you made $2,000?" Adding "in just 10 days" makes it much more beneficial to the visitor. Again, every part of your sales letter should be all about the benefit to the visitor.
"Using a ridiculously stupid technique" tells the visitor that what they are about to learn is easy, so easy that they should have already thought about it but probably haven't.
"I stole from my own affiliate" adds "insider" value to the headline. It paints a picture of Alok sneaking around after his affiliate to find something out that was "hidden" before.
All of the pieces of this headline work, and work very well.
Proof #1
Okay, so the headline states that Alok is going to show you how he made $2,000 in 10 days using an easy method that he discovered one of his affiliates using. That's great, but if the visitor has any experience with Internet Marketing, they know that there's a lot of hype, exaggeration, and even blatantly false statements being made out there.
That's why it pays to immediately follow the headline with proof that you're not stretching the truth or lying. Alok accomplishes this by adding the text, "but first, the proof" directly under his headline, followed by screen shots of his PayPal account showing a large number of sales from the same day.
If you've looked at his sales letter, and you've also seen my sales letter for $7 Secrets, you'll see that I employed that tactic myself--with great results.
Adding visual proof, like screen shots of sales or traffic stats, etc., reinforces in the visitor's mind that what you're about to teach them really works. If you can't provide solid evidence like this, then perhaps your product isn't as good as you're claiming.
Affiliates, keep this in mind: if a product owner cannot demonstrate on the sales letter actual proof of results, then inevitably what they're hawking is going to result in a lower conversion rate, and a higher refund rate. If it really worked, they should be able to show proof that it works right up front.
Now, and only now, after the visitor has been convinced that what you have to say could benefit them greatly, you begin the story portion of your sales letter.
If you start the story before a great headline, or before providing proof, your visitor will not feel the need to read it. Why invest their time and energy into reading a long sales letter for a product that hasn't been shown to really work? Take away the risk from the visitor. Make sure they know ahead of time that the time they spend reading the longer portion of your sales letter will pay off.
Once the visitor is convinced, start your story. People love stories, real stories. We can connect with stories about real people. "That could be me" it makes us think, or even, "that sounds like me!" Creating that bond between yourself and the visitor with a story is a very effective way to increase your conversion rate.
Alok's story is a great one. In it he appeals to the kind of person he knows will be interested in his product: the people who have seen (or purchased) the expensive ebooks and products that went way over their heads trying to show them how to make money online.
He backs that up by telling a story about talking to a friend of his on the phone, and how his friend was frustrated about having spent $97 on a product whose methods weren't working for him. Alok tells us that he made an excuse to get off the phone, because he just didn't know what to say when his friend asked him for advice.
Alok tells us that he's been a successful Internet Marketer for over four years, but that he was now using techniques that were beyond the "newbie" stage, so he didn't know what to tell his friend. He felt embarrassed and a little ashamed about the way he handled the situation, and so he decided to monitor his own affiliates to see how they were making money.
By doing so, he discovered a simple technique that was working wonders for one of his affiliates, an affiliate whom Alok happened to know had very little experience.
Now, Alok never actually says what that method was. He just tells the visitor about how successful it was, and how he was stunned by the simplicity of it. This stirs the reader's curiosity and interest. "What could it be?" they wonder.
Alok's entire story is designed to appeal to a newbie, somebody who wants to earn money online and is tired of spending large amounts of money for products that teach methods they either don't understand or don't have time to implement. It's a very well-written storyline, one that benefits the conversion rate immensely.
Proof #2
After giving the story, Alok tells the visitor that he tried the methods out himself, and the next morning woke up and checked his PayPal account for sales.
He then shows more screen shots of his PayPal account and a large number of sales he made from doing only two hours of work.
Adding extra proof at this point reinforces to the visitor that the methods really work. The later screenshots show different dates in the PayPal account than the first screenshots in the sales letter. That emphasizes that these methods didn't only work once, but multiple times for Alok--and the visitor will infer that they will do the same for him.
Remove Risk
Alok now removes all risk from the visitor by telling them that none of the methods he's going to show them will cost them a penny to implement. If this is true of your own product, be sure and state this fact, as it will increase your conversion rate.
If it's not true, it's safe to leave this fact off. I've even seen sales letters that openly state that you will have to pay more to get started. The best one I've seen told the visitor exactly how much they would have to pay per month in order to implement all of the techniques that they would learn by purchasing the product.
Did that hurt the conversion rate? Not at all. That particular product actually converted a little better than Alok's! This goes to show that customers don't mind having to invest a little more to get going. What they don't like is not being told up-front that it will cost more on the back-end.
So if you can remove all risk and state that no other investment is needed, do it. If there will be more investment needed, tell them!
At this point Alok stuns the reader by telling them that he's only going to ask $7 to show them how to duplicate his success. He explains that he's doing this because he knows the reader is tired of high-priced products that just don't get them anywhere.
He also gives the three reasons I include in my $7 Secrets sales letter template. I've found that including this part of the sales letter has a great impact on the conversion rate. If a price is too low, a visitor might think that they're getting junk. Explaining why you're keeping the price so low helps take away that concern.
Here are the reasons he gives:
- $7 puts the report within reach of the vast majority of people. It's not too expensive for even the humblest beginning online businessperson.
- Anyone who's not serious enough about making money online to invest $7 into this report isn't going to take the time to use the methods laid out in the report anyway.
- Anyone who is serious enough to put down the price of a fast food dinner and buy this report has the opportunity to sell the report to others and get the FULL PRICE of every copy they sell directly in their own PayPal account immediately. More details on how to do that are in the report.
Notice how it compares the $7 purchase to the price of a fast food dinner. Most people don't think twice before dropping $7 at McDonald's or some other burger joint. Making this comparison gets the reader to stop and think (at least subconsciously), "You know, it really isn't a lot of money, and I am willing to spend $7 on things that have little benefit to me--so why not spend it on something that could benefit me greatly?"
If your product is not priced low, you can still increase the conversion rate by adopting the rest of the strategies mentioned in this article. Just make sure that in your proof you are demonstrating that the cost of the product will be returned, and then some.
You won't achieve a 30% conversion rate with a $97 product, to be sure, but I know of at least one product that achieved almost a 10% conversion rate for a $297 product. Now that's really something!
There's a significant percentage of your visitors who won't read the entire sales letter. They'll read the headline, look at the images of your proof, and then immediately scroll down to see the price.
That's a really good reason to include a P.S. and a P.P.S. just below the "buy now" button. Use that opportunity to get in a brief statement telling the visitor exactly how the product will benefit them.
Alok uses this for his P.S., which is also similar to the one I use on my $7 Secrets sales letter:
"P.S. Seriously, for just $7 I'll teach you the "On Demand Profits" system which can make you money on demand. How can you pass on that? Click Here for your Copy"
It summarizes exactly what the visitor will get: for $7, they'll learn how to make money easily. It's short and sweet, and will help convince the skeptical reader to go ahead and take a chance.
His P.P.S. is an exact copy of the one I'm using for my $7 products, and with great success:
"P.P.S. If the report isn't enough, remember, after buying you can turn around and resell the report to your list (or with a link on your website). In 20 minutes you can make that $7 back times 10, 100, or even 1000! You get the FULL $7 directly to your PayPal account for every sale, the instant it's made. Click Here for your Copy"
That statement takes away the risk for anyone who has even a tiny mailing list, showing that they can earn their money back in full (and a whole lot more) in a short period of time.
Of course, this particular P.P.S. won't work very well in non-marketing niches, since most people in other markets aren't usually interested in earning money from the product. Rather, they're looking to learn something that will help them solve a problem.
What about the guarantee?
For high-priced products, it's important to offer a money-back-guarantee. That removes the risk from the potential customer, which induces them to buy. After all, if the product doesn't work for them, they can get a refund--so no worries.
But for lower price products, like Alok's $7 product, it really isn't necessary to offer a guarantee. $7 isn't really seen as a "risk" by 99% of people anyway. Plus he's using the $7 Secrets scripts, which offer a 100% instant commission to the affiliate, so offering a guarantee like that complicates the refund process unnecessarily.
I don't have guarantees for my own $7 products, either, but for all of my higher priced products I offer one.
In Summary
Demand the visitor's attention with a headline that they just can't pass up, and immediatley afterward show them proof that what you're saying really works. Give them a real-life story that appeals to your target audience and then reinforce your results with more proof. Afterwards, give them a price that they just can't pass up. At the bottom of the sales letter, give a short summary of the benefits and take away the risk involved in buying.
Following that simple plan will help you achieve phenomenal conversion rates, like Alok Jain has with On Demand Profits.
Related Internet Marketing Q&A
Enjoy this article?
It was a great case study. I am learning copywriting right now, and I've sold a lot of $7 secrets products.
It's awesome for affiliates.
I fully agree with your April 12th post Jonathon.
There is no shortage of products to choose from on the internet and therefore one can find proof for a products value.
What is proof? Well it may be results plain and simple or it may be the research you've done and a knowledge of the ethics and quality of product that one of your partners may put out.
Such things can constitute workable useable proof. The bottom line being that you yourself believe in what you are selling first before you sell it.
great analysis jonathan… this makes for an excellent "copywriting quick sheet"… i'm just about to print it out and i'm sure i shall be referring to it continually… top notch!
Mr. Jon,
I've never commented on your blog before, but I had to thank you for this great information.
I'm first starting out really diving into Internet Marketing and have really been struggling with writing good copy, much less sales pages. It's been a burden on my mind for sure.
Just as the frustration peaked, you came out with this great info. I must say I was pleased and refreshed even though I am still unable to even get traffic to my sites. I get ahead of myself, I'm sure. But I did want to let you know that you gave me a little more stamina. So for that I thank you.
God bless,
Bryan Miller
Silly question, but what if you don't yet have proof? Is this a catch-22 where you have to make sales before you show sales results?
Hi Jon,
yes, I bought Alok's report. The site is excellently done. I was going to use his methods on my German language report which I am putting online in the next few days.
Your analysis has brought it all into focus.
Good work!
Hi Jonathan
This comment WILL sound like you've paid me to say this, but I cannot believe how much you've come back (after I've only bought a $7.00 product from you) again & again with continued support and further help – thanks so much – you've impressed me more than anybody else (and I've bought quite a few products from others). Your integrity & honesty shows, and for that reason, you're the only one for whom I've gone to the trouble of leaving a comment on a blog.
Once again you overdeliver to your subscribers!
Thanks for breaking down a winning sales letter to help others create their own quality product as well.
Many thanks!
Learning to write a good sale letter is indeed a skill that we should have even we are not selling our own product.
John Tan
Hi Jon
I could have agreed with you more on this topic. A well structured sales letter that converts is more testimony than any visitor would need, to be able to convert to sales.
Is there any software that structures sales letters in this process, that we can just whip out a sale letter of this type?
Let me know if there is one in the market.
May Ong
Hi Jonathan
Your audio link would not work on my PC.
Strange, everyone elses audio streams work, what format is it in?
I use linux with MPlayer
Great information Jonathan. Which PR sites and article submission services do you recommend to send the finished sales letters or informatikon articles?
Smart strategie, Jonathan!
You've created a great sales letter!
It's even twice as long as the actual sales letter you're writing about.
Hey Jonathan…thanks for the lesson. I will definitely be using what I learned in my own product offering.
Are you willing to share your own results with $7 Secrets?

Contracts related to buying commercial property
Once you have settled on a property that you would like to buy for your business, there will be various contracts to negotiate. This article will give you a very basic guideline, but this is an area where the expense of legal representation is money well spent.
Buying a commercial property is a very complicated process with numerous technicalities that can arise. It's for this reason that you should hire a lawyer who specializes in commercial property to look after your best interests. In the meantime, we will give you some information on the most important part of the deal: the contract between you and the seller.
Whether you are signing an Offer to Purchase or an Agreement of Sale, a valid contract must be in writing and include the following:
- The agreement must be in writing to be valid
- Conditions of the sale must be included, such as: Responsibility of costs, commissions and fees; the date of possession of property, a voetstoets clause ("as it stands") if there is one, conditions regarding zonings, rental income, addresses of parties, etc.
- The contract must be signed by both the buyer and seller, which makes it legally binding. Should either party back out of the deal at this state, they will be responsible for the legal consequences.
There are, however, certain conditions under which the buyer or seller may break the contract. In what is called the "Cooling Off" clause in terms of the Alienation of Land Amendment Act 104 of 1998, "a Purchaser has 5 days to revoke or terminate a Offer to Purchase / Agreement of Sale by notifying the Seller in writing that the Offer to Purchase/Agreement of Sale has been unconditionally revoked or terminated".
Reasons for terminating the agreement might include:
- The agreement is subject to certain suspensive conditions which are not fulfilled
- The purchase price is less than R250,000 and certain additional criteria in terms of the Alienation of Land Amendment Act are present entitling the Purchaser to "cool off"
Make sure that when you are buying a property, you're always on the front foot by having done your research, knowing what your rights are and employing formal legal representation.

Person or the Train driver" society people replied off course the person walking on railway track.
Police officer replied – Exactly for road if a person or an animal met accident, the fault is always of vehicle driver, the brakes are meant to apply on emergency situation. There is no amendment that crossing road is a crime, if such amendment takes place, we will let u know, please let me handle the case and go home.

The life of puppy was lost and the mother of puppy will have pain for the whole life, the accident was met in front of her.

Berrytastic Strawberry and Blueberry Cake
'Tis the season for berries, and how I love them! Strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, blackberries and currants too, it makes my mouth water just thinking about them.
I tend to start the season, serving berries simply with cream, yogurt or ice cream, but as time passes and the fruits become more abundant, it's nice to try some different ways to enjoy these luscious fruits.
OXO Good Grips sent me this useful three piece berry bowl and colander in which to prepare and store my berries. The bowl had a nice stable base and is just the right size to store a punnet of strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. The matching colander is useful for cleaning your berries before you store them in the lidded bowl. Of course it's not only suitable for berries, but you can use it for rinsing and storing other food stuffs too.
I also received this neat little strawberry hull remover, it works best on large strawberries like the Sweet Eve strawberries from Berry World that arrived with the OXO products.
Three piece Berry Bowl set (RRP £15)
Strawberry huller (RRP £7)
Berrytastic Strawberry and Blueberry Cake
For the cake:
100g soft margarine
100g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
100g self-raising flour
1 level teaspoon baking powder
Heat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4 and grease and line a 7 inch cake tin. I used a deep cake tin to get one sponge but you could split the cake between two tins if preferred.
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and beat well until blended and smooth. Spoon into the tin and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes if using two tins and 35-40 minutes for the deeper tin, test with a skewer which should come out clean when the cake is baked.
Turn the cake onto a cooling tray and leave to cool
For the topping:
1 punnet of strawberries
1 punnet of blueberries
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of water
Hull the strawberries, slice up 6-8 strawberries (depending on size) and heat gently in a pan with a tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer gently until the sugar has dissolved and the berries start to soften, crush the berries and cook for a further 2 minutes until jammy. You should still have some juice left, leave to cool.
Cover the top of the cake with the 'jam', reserving a couple of teaspoons of the juice. Arrange halved strawberries around the edge of the cake and fill the middle with blueberries, brush the berries with the reserved juice to add shine. Serve with cream, ice cream or yogurt.
If you would like to win these tools and a year's supply of strawberries leave a comment on this post telling me "What is your favourite berry recipe" The winner's name will be chosen by Random Number Generator on 15th July and then passed on to OXO Good Grips to be entered in a further draw (22nd July) with some other lucky entries, one winner will receive the berrytastic goodies. UK entries only please.
I'm entering the Berrytastic Strawberry and Blueberry Cake in Let's Cook with Strawberries the blog event hosted by Simply Sensational Food.
I was provided with the Berry Bowl, Strawberry Huller and Strawberries to review, I was not paid and all opinions are my own.
And the winner going through to the next round of the competition is no. 5: Recipes from a Pantry

wow this looks so very delicious, I could eat large potion of this cake and have second helpings.
That looks lovely, wish I had some now. I am waiting impatiently for the berries in my garden to ripen!
I am so making this for dessert this weekend. Looks easy to make and delicious to eat. The photograph is so enticing!!!
Dang, that looks moreish! Sadly our strawberries are nearly over but it's been a fab season for them!
Janie x
A very berrytastic cake indeed.Looks rather fab.
sadly (or perhaps thankfully) I have a strawberry allergy – or I'd be eating your cake every day of the week
In this house berries seldom get as far as being used in recipes but I do sometimes make a rather gorgeous strawberry, chocolate and honeycomb crunch cheesecake
Janice that cake looks lovely. One of my favourite recipes to make using both raspberries and strawberries which are both my favourite berries, is Eton Mess so simple but everyone loves it.
I love berries, especially strawberries and blueberries. This looks like the perfect cake then. Yummy!
I'm a fan of most berries but my favourite is definitely the blueberry, I love them!
I love most berries, especially blueberries!
they all look berry, berry good 😉
I love making a big pavlova and topping it with cream and berries 🙂
Think my favourite recipe would have to be Strawberry & Raspberry Jam with Raspberry Gin on freshly made scones with a dollop of clotted cream – yum!
What a fabulous cake. My favourite recipe – simple though it is – would have to be a raspberry pavlova. I love meringue and grow raspberries which are just divine freish from the garden. Being dairy intolerant I finish mine off with coconut cream.
Such fabulosity! Gone straight to my shortlist for a feature. Thanks! Cheers from Carole's chatter

Extending General Education to the Junior and Senior Years.
Brown, Peggy, Ed.
Forum for Liberal Education, v5 n2 Nov-Dec 1982
Activities are described that illustrate the ways new emphases on structure, liberal arts curriculum, attention to basic skills, a global approach, four-year study courses, and non-lecture pedagogy are being incorporated into college curricula across the country. An opening essay ("The General Education Reform: Accomplishments and Future Agenda") by Carol J. Guardo reports on the reasons behind these recent reforms in general education, cites some of the benefits of the changes, and recommends how faculty members and administrators can maintain the momentum for necessary changes. A second essay ("Thinking Skills and Upper Division General Education Courses") by Ron B. Rembert cautions that before administrators can add an upper division component to their general education program they must determine whether lower division courses provide adequate preparation. Programs at the University of Maryland, College Park, Lewis and Clark College, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Albertus Magnus College, Indiana State University, Saint Joseph's College, the University of Houston, California Lutheran College, Davis and Elkins College, Frostburg State College, Lafayette College, and Northwestern University are described, and a list of resources provided.

LONDON, Feb 5 (Reuters) – Britain must be able to tackle any abuse of its welfare system by migrants, but that cannot come at the price of discriminating against EU citizens, European Parliament President Martin Schulz said on Friday.
Limiting welfare payments to migrants is a key plank of a reform package that Prime Minister David Cameron wants EU leaders to approve ahead of a referendum on British membership of the bloc that may be held as early as June.
In a speech at the London School of Economics (LSE), Schulz questioned whether measures proposed by European Council President Donald Tusk allowing Britain to curb benefits to EU migrants were a fair way of dealing with high rates of migration.
He made a comparison between hypothetical workers – Claudia, a Germany national, and John, a British citizen, both employed by the LSE. While she is denied in-work benefits – payments to lower paid workers – John is not, despite both paying taxes.
"Is this the European Union we want to live in" he asked, according to a transcript of his speech.
"The European Parliament will support all proposals which fairly address real problems which may emerge from free movement, as long as they do not cause discrimination and undermine European values."
The European Parliament will have to pass legislation to implement parts of any deal on the British reform package that may be struck at a summit of EU heads on Feb. 18-19.
A proposed "emergency brake" on benefits for EU migrant workers and safeguarding procedures for non-euro countries on financial regulation would both have to be put into EU law by the council of ministers and the parliament.
Cameron's demand to curb benefits to EU workers has become the one of the most difficult points of his attempt to win Britain a better membership deal with the 28-member bloc.
Several eastern European countries have balked at the idea that their citizens, who have moved to Britain in their tens of thousands, might be treated differently from British workers, saying that would go against the principle of free movement of people.
Earlier on Friday however, Cameron seemed to win support from Poland's Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who as head of the ruling Law and Justice party is viewed as the ultimate decision maker in Poland.

The Takeovers Panel has made an order restraining Millstream Equities Limited from acquiring securities or any interest in or rights relating to securities in Montana Group (NZ) Limited unless in compliance with the Takeovers Code.
This follows an announcement on 29 June 2001 that Millstream Equities Limited had made an "irrevocable promise" to shareholders of Montana Group (NZ) Limited to purchase their shares at a price of $4.80 per share.
The Takeovers Panel considers that that may have the effect of increasing the percentage of voting rights held by Millstream Equities Limited and controlled by Allied Domecq Plc.
The Panel considers that Millstream Equities Limited and/or Allied Domecq Plc "may not have acted or may not be acting or may intend not to act" in compliance with the Takeovers Code. On the information available to the Panel it is not currently satisfied that section 23(b) of the Takeovers Act 1993 exempts Millstream Equities Limited and/or Allied Domecq Plc from compliance with the Takeovers Code.
The Panel will hold a meeting to determine whether to exercise its powers under section 32. The meeting will be held on Friday 6th July 2001. The meeting will not be open to the public.

Due to the ridiculous nature of loot boxes in many recently released titles, some fans have asked the ESRB to do something about it. Namely, to classify loot boxes as gambling. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem like it is going to happen. Here is what a representative had to say when asked:
"ESRB does not consider loot boxes to be gambling. While there's an element of chance in these mechanics, the player is always guaranteed to receive in-game content (even if the player unfortunately receives something they don't want). We think of it as a similar principle to collectible card games: Sometimes you'll open a pack and get a brand new holographic card you've had your eye on for a while. But other times you'll end up with a pack of cards you already have."
While calling them gambling may not be the solution, something needs to happen. Loot boxes in single player games are unacceptable, and shouldn't even be an option for developers going forward.

Disc rot, laser rot, CD rot, and DVD rot are terms used to describe the degradation of optical discs. However, this type of deterioration is not an actual rotting of the disc and it is not the laser light causing the deterioration.
Optical discs contain a metal layer within the disc structure. The purpose of the metal layer is to reflect the laser light from the player or reader back to the equipment's signal detector after the data or information layer is read. This allows a signal to be registered by the equipment. Without the metal layer, the laser light would read the data layer and then shine right through the disc and the detector would never receive any information from the disc. Therefore, the metal layer and the integrity of this metal layer is a vital component in the proper functioning and readability of optical disc formats.
The composition of the metal layer differs depending on the disc format. A summary of the types of metals used is provided below.
Disc rot and laser rot are basically the chemical degradation of the metal reflective layer. With the exception of gold, metals used in optical discs will oxidize or corrode when exposed to moisture and oxidizing compounds. These oxidizing compounds can be from the oxygen in the air we breathe, atmospheric pollutants, volatile agents coming from poor quality storage enclosure materials, inks and labels on the discs, paper or other materials stored in the case with the disc, etc. When CD disc rot or DVD disc rot occurs the metal layer may discolor, may form holes (from very small pinholes to large holes to complete disappearance of the metal layer), or the metal layer may get thinner. If any of these are noticed, then laser rot is the likely problem.
This type of degradation is not repairable. The error correction system associated with optical disc technology may or may not be able to compensate for the damage. However, the capacity of the system is limited and eventually extensive laser rot will cause playability problems or disc failure.
Disc rot generally occurs in discs that have a poor protective layer. This layer is supposed to provide physical and chemical protection for the metal layer. If the protective layer is poor quality and not completely covering the metal layer then oxidation of the metal layer can occur. Early audio CDs did not have a good quality protective layer and many discs failed because of this type of degradation. Laserdiscs also suffered from this problem. The formulation for the protective layer was adjusted once it was noticed that this deterioration problem was common. Nowadays, laser rot can still be a problem, especially in poorly manufactured discs. If gold is used as the metal layer, as in the best CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, then laser rot is not a problem since gold metal is very stable or inert and does not oxidize.

A man claiming to be a "preacher" began spouting anti-gay rhetoric on a New York City subway train, but was met with opposition by one gay man who decided to argue back. The encounter was caught on video and posted to YouTube (video below.)
The man began to yell his thoughts on society's poor influence on today's youth, also claiming that gay men are pedophiles. His ranting became so outrageous, he even screams to the subway passengers, "Michael Jackson died because he was gay" at which point many in the car began to laugh.
At this point, the other man stood up and began to argue with the preacher. "You are false. You are a false prophet. Do not listen to this man. He's scared. He's full of hatred" said the pro-gay advocate.
The preacher then began saying that gay men aren't men at all. He said it makes no sense for two men to be together.
In response, the advocate said "I'm a man. And I'm a good man, and I'm a gay man and Jesus loves me."
The subway started cheering as he continues with a chant of "Jesus is love! Jesus is love! You are not of love!"
"We can hear your falsehood, Jesus is love, and love is in this train. Right everyone? Love, let's all clap for love! Love Wins," he says as the whole subway car clapped for love and the "preacher" got off the subway at its nearest stop.

Immigrant Fiction--European Style
2 comments:
- Dragana said...
As an aspiring "European Immigrant Fiction" writer and obsessive reader of the same, I feel invited to drop some additional names into the pool. Whether the term "immigrant literature" is justified in its existence is a question that is, hm, existential. Most of the (usually young) new authors are distancing themselves from it, probably fearing to be pigeonholed, and insist that their native tongue play no role whatsoever in judging the quality of their work. Fair enough.
Sometimes I read "migrant-lit" books back to back, though categorization is usually a bad idea for reading enjoyment. As expected, when the first in a self-created series happens to impress me a lot, the second one does not, probably much less than if I had read it out of context. For instance, I first read an original in German by this kid Saša Stanišić (how sad that I am calling someone kid who is turning 30 this year and was 28 when the book was published), who also argued on an Iowa panel that the very term "migrant literature" was a misnomer. Anthea Bell's translation is certainly competent, though occasionally she doesn't quite hit the offbeat tone. But, in fairness, that's tough to do, and the catch-22 problem poses itself in all works in translation: it can be hard to transcend a culture's peculiarities, but sometimes it's hard to understand a culture without the element of its literature. That is why I am personally inclined to stick with authors with Eastern European origins, while the receiving country they write about does not matter that much. At the same time I understand that a double whammy--translated pieces about a foreign place--may be a hard sell for any given audience, particularly American (much as I disagree with the Nobel spokesman's recent snub, there is a certain insularity here).
Ambitious writing in a language other than one's first is not a literary unicum, and foreign English writers seem to be on the rise. Among the new bright stars should be Aleksandar Hemon, now in Chicago, who also immigrated from Bosnia in the early 90s when he was nearly 30. It could be argued that his achievement is even bigger, given the advanced age at which he had to master great writing.
Then there is Nataša Radojčić. Her first novel also dealt with the 1990s carnage in Bosnia, but what a difference. I was partial in her favor, which I know I shouldn't be, but like myself she is from Belgrade, came to the USA in her twenties and is a woman, but how flat she fell compared to cocksure firecrackers Saša and Aleksandar (the names are typically synonyms)!
Inevitable if by size alone, the former Soviet-American axis is going strong. Take Lara Vapnyar. She's damn good. Pretty similar, but equally good is Sana Krasikov. Of course there are Gary Shteyngart, David Bezmozgis et al; wonder if the market is anywhere near saturation. As long as readers of any nationality are hungry for introspection and witty presentation of America's little oddities, I don't think there's a dry spell in sight.
