Why You Must Write Your Book Now

I think you’ll agree, we all secretly want to have our own book or e-book. In today’s society, having your own book means prestige, added income, and appeal that makes getting the nicer things in life that much simpler.

You may think that writing a book is well beyond your capability, even though you have dreampt about seeing your name in print in the past

Imagine overseeing large orders being filled as your market races to place new orders for your highly successful book.

Perhaps you are looking to escape your suffocating job by quickly building another source of income?

It could be that you already have a great career, but really want to move up within your organization or business, and for that, you need to do something different to set yourself aside from the crowd.

Maybe you already sell products or operate your own business or operate a profession such as a lawyer, chiropractor, real estate agent or accountant – writing a book will become your tool to generate leads and a buzz around your business.

Get the idea, here are 7 reasons for you to write a book right now.

1. Generate revenue. Regardless of whether you take the traditional publishing route or choose to self-publish your own book – you can earn extra income, sometimes SUBSTANTIAL extra income by marketing your own books.

2. Lead Generation. If you operate your own business or rely on leads converting into sales for your living, then writing your own book can make a fantastic difference to your take home pay.

3. Branding. As your market gets more cluttered, getting your message out becomes tougher and tougher. Launching your own books, e-books, courses, or reports is a terrific way to build up your perception in the marketplace.

4. Seting A Solid Foundation. Everyone who operates their own business knows that marketing your own products gives you more control, more leverage and more profit in the end. Information-based products such as books, e-books, and reports set your foundation for a real, high-value business.

5. Massive Publicity. Some of the biggest names in the world understand the power that writing a book can give you in terms of publicity. Books not only allow for reviews, exposure, opinions, interviews and other formal publicity, they also can be the launchpad for a social networking, word-of-mouth campaign that can truly become viral saving you hundreds of thousands on publicity.

6. Highly profitable. In the case of self-publishing, publishing digital e-books, downloadable information products, 95% of the price is retained in profits which goes directly to you.

7. Attract Positive Activity. Its difficult to explain, but when you have your own book e-book, report or course available to the public – it can take on a life of its own attracting experts, partnerships, synergies, co-marketing offers beyond anything you may have considered.

It suprises me how most people underestimate the power that writing your own book can bring to their lives.

What’s more, it is astonishingly simple and fast to put together your own book, e-book, report or course to market to your audience.

Thousands have succeeded in writing their own self-published book in as little as a few weeks when they understand the basics of what their market wants and how to outline and organize their writing – and even more amazing….the ones who succeed the most are those that have the least writing experience.

If you are looking for a highly profitable alternative revenue stream, a home-run hitting marketing tool and publicity tool, or just would like to finally live your dream of seeing your name in print – then its time to break through the untruths and get working on writing your own book.

Judicial Review Sought for Act Allowing Pleural Plaques Compensation

The Damages (Asbestos-related conditions) (Scotland) Act has been challenged by a group of insurers- Aviva, AXA Insurance, RSA and Zurich- who together control over 50 percent of the employers’ liability insurance market. The legislation was enacted to overturn the 2007 decision of the House of Lords in Rothwell v Chemical and Insulating Co. Ltd. in which it was held that pleural plaques is not actionable damage.

The group contends that the Act ignores the fact that plaques do not lead to any asbestos related conditions and are symptomless as medical evidence shows. They also claim that it ignores the legal maxim that compensation is payable only when physical damage has been suffered.

The insurers further argue that the law failed to see the impact it can have on the financial condition of the Scottish firms and taxpayers. They also insist that the law could lead to a significant increase in insurance costs, and damage the economy as more and more people can claim compensation without having any symptoms. The Director of General Insurance and Health at ABI, Nick Starling commented that they support the judicial review of the Act only because it is not properly thought out and ignores both medical evidence and existing legal practices applicable to cases of negligence.

He said that the insurers accept the obligation to pay compensation to those who face health hazards, but they are not ready to pay compensation to someone who does not suffer from any symptoms and is seeking aid merely on grounds of being exposed to the risk.

Employers need to keep themselves up to date with health and safety developments to avoid potential legal action from employers by taking a health and safety courses such as the nebosh general certificate from Workplace Law Training.

Prostatic Well-being – the Natural Way

The medical industry call an enlarged prostate benign prostate hyperplasia, or BPH. This entails that the prostate, a gland which wraps around the urethra and is located beneath the bladder, enlarges and this may impair or even stop the flow of urine. The prostate gland enlarges as the years go by and as a result may engender complaints for example problems passing water, a diminished flow, and urinary retention. Frequent urination disrupting sleep patterns and even recurring infections of the urinary system are further symptoms which may ensue from prostatic swelling.

So What Is Benign Prostate Hyperplasia? An enlarged prostate gland is considered one of the more common medical conditions of men over 60. An annual test is urged for all men over 50, irrespective of the presentation of problems, to aid in maintenance of improved prostate health. Inability to micturate or blood during urination should lead to seeking medical treatment directly. Treatments for an enlarged prostate can be surgical procedures or medication. However, impotence and even incontinence can be experienced as a result of a surgical procedure. Hypertension treatments or medicines which reduce the prostate are often given to improve prostatic health, however, medicinal drugs frequently result in undesirable side effects. What herbal alternatives are available? Prostate Gland Enlargment Problems? The Natural Way to Better Prostatic Health

To promote improved prostate health and relieve any problems connected with an enlarged prostate gland, various herbal formulae will help. African pygeum brings down swelling, relieving many of the more disagreeable symptoms. The treatment African Pygeum has been prescribed for quite a few years in Europe as a therapy for better prostate health, it is produced by a plant indigenous to Africa.

Dietetic changes for example a reduction in the intake of fats may also help, so will getting more excercise on a regular basis, a higher frequency of ejaculations may alleviate pressure in the prostate, and avoiding periods of prolonged sitting. Consumption of over the counter antihistamines or decongestants can aggravate any symptoms of a swollen prostate gland, so please use these sparingly. Decreasing coffee and additionally alcoholic drink, avoid drinking close to retiring this can decrease nighttime trips to the lavatory. Prostate Gland health can additionally be improved by other supplements specifically saw palmetto, Borago officinalis oil, selenium, and also lycopene, which can be found in tomatoes. Before starting some alternative treatment regime be sure you check with your physician.

Overcome the Fear of Public Speaking with Mental Preparation Strategies

Mental preparation is a vital part of the process of overcoming the fear of public speaking. It is one of four processes successful speakers use to make sure they lose their fear and use their nerves for success.

The first step is to acknowledge that the fear is normal.

1. A huge range of successful people like Helen Hayes, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Joan Rivers, Lisa Minnelli and Sydney Poitier are known to have suffered from nerves.

2. And there was the published survey that identified public speaking as Americans’ number one fear. This reinforces the fact that you are not in a minority, you are not a freak or a failure, but part of a huge group who all feel the same – normal!

3. Seinfeld quipped that if people fear public speaking more than death, then therefore they would rather be in the coffin than making the eulogy. It is so common that Seinfeld jokes about it! It is a natural, normal response – the body’s way of coping with a challenge.

It may be that you have reasons in your past or from within your family that build the fear, and send your body into the fight/flight response. It may be that, like me, you need to run adrenalin to stay alert and focused. It may be that you are not confident socially and need to build confidence to speak.

Whatever the cause, this is a normal response to that cause and accepting that this is just a normal response, and not your own personal, horrible secret, means that you can acknowledge it, and start to treat it, overcome it.

This process of looking at your fear/nerves and identifying their source/s is a major step towards overcoming them. Often people don’t articulate what it is they fear, or where the fear comes from. If you can do that, then you have something concrete you can tackle, and a way to move forward. Find the root of the fear or nerves, tease it out so that you understand it and then use logic to deal with it.

The third mental technique is to accept that, for whatever reason, you are running adrenalin, so you might as well use it. Make it work for you. Channel it to create excitement and enthusiasm. These give power to your speech and you can speak with rapid-fire enthusiasm, or hold attention with power pause.

The excitement and enthusiasm will also work with other strategies to build a strong confidence.

You can use the enthusiasm to reinforce positive self-talk. Whether you call them mantras or call them affirmations, choose positive statements beforehand, to say to yourself to keep yourself positive. Or you can create them at the time. They too, will reinforce your confidence.

Combine these with a fifth technique – visualization. Very early in the preparation for your speech or presentation, visualize yourself leaving your seat, walking to the stage/podium, greeting the audience – all with calm confidence and enthusiasm. Watch it and experience how it feels. Then, as you progress, visualise, too, and feel, all of the aspects of your presentation – the sections of the speech, any prepared movements, and any visuals. See every one of these occurring successfully and see your confidence permeating every one. This may sound very impractical, but it works for me, and did, long before I really knew I was doing it. I just see it as part of my preparation – then, once prepared, it’s something I don’t have to think about at the time.

We will look more at preparing the speech in another article, but if you do prepare well, in as much detail as possible, and use visualization as part of the process, then that in itself will give you confidence. Being able to reassure yourself that you are prepared is a major confidence builder, and you can use it as one of your reassuring, positive statements. “I am prepared. I have every aspect covered. I have nothing to worry about.”

You will have accepted the nerves as normal. You will have found their cause/s and used that as a foundation to build strategies for success. You will have mentally prepared for each part of your presentation. You will have learned to channel the nerves into power for your presentation. The processes of mental preparation will be a powerful part of your success in overcoming the fear of public speaking

Using the Five Senses to Enhance Your Writing

Sight

This is the one sense that provides most of the detail for our stories. Our words become our readers’ eyes, giving us a blank canvas upon which to paint a picture to tell our story. From the sight of a common fear, such as a spider creeping silently along the floor to the glimpse of a shadow on the stairway… sight is our greatest source of horror inspiration and description. When describing the sight of something terrifying there’s a huge resource at the writer’s disposal, because we can use our other senses to add glorious, gory detail to our descriptions. Here’s an example of how all five of our senses can be used to describe a simple scene:

The apple was bright green, its skin polished and shining as it nestled in the fruit bowl (sight). The scent was fresh, as though the fruit had just been plucked from the tree (smell). She took it from the bowl, her fingers closing around the firm smooth skin (touch) as she lifted it to her lips. The apple crunched loudly (sound) as her teeth cut through the skin into the tart, juicy flesh (taste). As the fresh juice ran down her throat she noticed a small black speck moving slowly in the creamy flesh. Closer inspection revealed that she hadn’t just taken a bite from the apple – she’d bitten through a fat, juicy worm.

Sound

Remember when you were a small child, and your parents put you to bed? Perhaps there was no nightlight, and the TV room was at the other end of the house…

You’re lying in your bed. All alone. Desperately waiting for your eyes to accustom to the dark you hear it – a soft, scratching noise – and it seems to be coming from under the bed. It lasts only a moment before it stops. You wonder if you were hearing things, and you’re so desperate for the darkness to lighten you forget to blink. The blackness seems to swirl around you, cloaking you in a thick, black fog through which no light can penetrate. Suddenly it’s there again, only this time the scratching seems closer. And louder. It seems to last a bit longer this time. So you hold your breath, because that darkness doesn’t seem to be lifting. You’ve lost the sense of sight, so by not breathing you hope to hear the sound more clearly, and identify its location…

The description above relies on the complete absence of the sense of sight. This is where fear comes in and can play a major descriptive role – in this case blind fear. To compensate for loss of sight the sense of hearing becomes more acute, so the writer can introduce other horror-inducing thoughts and impressions. Where is the sound coming from? How close is it? Will I be able to feel it if it decides to climb on the bed? When will my eyes get used to the darkness? Should I start panicking now? If I get out of bed will it jump on top of me?

Touch

This sense conjures up description of things most us will probably try to never touch, like slime, frogs and warty skin. All these items are perfect for the horror/scary genre, but writers can also take the more ordinary touch phobias and use those items to horrific effect. Some people cannot bear to touch velvet, while others are terrified of touching paper. Still others find their skin crawls when they encounter cotton wool…

Opening the wooden box in the hotel bathroom, she recoiled in horror. Nestling quietly in the bottom of the box, white and shining, was a cluster of cotton wall balls. She stepped back, collapsing on the side of the bath. The mere thought of feeling those soft fibres squeaking as the ball pressed against her skin was enough to induce goosebumps. She wrapped her arms around herself in a subconscious effort to protect her body from the fear she’d had her entire life. Just thinking about cotton balls made her skin crawl. She moaned quietly, remembering the silent noise they emitted when squeezed; a noise that seemed to pass right through her skin. Through her panic she wondered if she’d remember to pack her facial sponges…

Descriptions of this particular sense can been embellished with the use of physical reactions to feeling certain items; goosebumps, stepping away from the source of horror, collapsing with fear, subconscious act of defence (hugging the body) and a noise of fear (moaning). All these reactions add to the reader’s imagination, while adding to the picture your words are “painting”.

Smell

Bad smells in the horror/scary genre usually mean something bad is about to happen or has already happened. The smell of rotting or burning flesh is probably the most common description applicable to this genre, and the description of the smell can also be used to indicate how the death occurred. Bad household smells range from two week old pizza languishing in the refrigerator to potatoes burning in a pot on the stove. Adjectives include: smelly, reeking, fetid, malodorous, rank, putrid and noxious.

As she applied the finishing touches to the client’s hair, a sharp smell suddenly assaulted her nostrils. It was a smell she hated and dreaded, because it was an odour so terrible the memory remained burned into the subconscious forever. She froze as the acrid stench filled the air, assaulting her nostrils and her throat with its foul flavour. An instant later her salon filled with gasps and shrieks of horror. She turned towards the three ladies seated underneath the dryers. Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Edgar had managed to wriggle out from underneath their dryers, but poor Mrs Smith was unable to move. One of the pins from her rollers had obviously caught in the dryer, and ignited her hair. Smoke was seeping out of the top of the machine, which had started to spark. Placing her hand over her mouth and nose in a attempt to banish the malodorous scent she started to move towards Mrs Smith, who screamed as flames began flickering out of the dryer…”

Taste

Most, if not all of us, have an aversion to a certain food. We don’t like to eat it and the taste of it makes us feel sick. Perhaps the mere thought of tasting it is enough to induce some horrible thoughts and feelings.

The candlelight caught the designs on the wineglass, casting a dark crimson glow on the table. He lifted the glass to his lips, the rich musky flavour of the cabernet sauvignon still drifting over his taste buds. At the first sip of the wine he almost choked. There was obviously something wrong with this new bottle of wine, for the liquid in his mouth had a bitter, sour taste. Although the consistency was the same as the previous glass, there was an acidic flavour he could not identify… although it seemed vaguely familiar. He swirled the liquid around in his mouth before swallowing it. It seemed to sting his tongue and burn the roof of his mouth, and when he swallowed the acrid liquid his throat tingled. Suppressing the urge to cough he reached for the glass of water next to his plate and took a sip. As the cool water cleansed the tart taste from his palate his hostess lifted the bottle he’d used to fill his wineglass… and poured balsamic vinegar over her plate of salad.

Writers have a magnitude of adjectives at their disposal when describing the horror of tasting unappetising food. These include: pungent, sour, acrid, bitter, fetid, stinking, putrid, decaying, rancid, reek, stale and bad.

Real life can be far more fascinating than fiction, and using our senses in our writing proves this truth. So the next time you sit down in front of your keyboard tap in to those five senses, and see just how they can colour your words!

A Roll Over is Coming! The Possibility of Winning the Euro Lottery and Does Any Player Stand a True Chance of Winning the Jackpot

The prospects of scooping the EUROMILLIONS jack-pot is a far-off 1 : seventy six million but the probability of winning a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 : 24. When the jack-pot is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the next week which results in an ever increasing jackpot prize. Recent rules brought in on the 9/02/2007 specify the number of consecutive rollovers to eleven, with the jackpot rolled out to lower value levels succeeding the 11th lotto draw if the prize is not collected.

The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s usually best-known, pools the lottery ticket receipts of the 9 partaking European countries presenting a super Euro Lotto jackpot. With the number of nations joining the Euro on the increase, this will without question will lead to even more states participating in the European lottery. A growth in the amount of individuals partaking in the European Lotto will lead to a continued growth of the already sizeable Euro Lotto jackpots.

The recent rules likewise initiated EuroMillions Super Draw which come about twice each year plus they offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot must be won during the calendar week of the lotto draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will then be allotted to the ticket holder(s) in the succeeding winning prize level.

Every participant has to choose five primary numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lottery draw, 5 main and 2 lucky-star numbers are then picked out at random from two draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.

Simple Writing Tips You May Be Forgetting

There are some quick, simple rules of spelling and word usage everyone learned and few were allowed to forget when I was a kid. Somehow, I think those rules are now missing in action these days.

I mean simple rules such as this spelling ditty: “Use “i” before “e,” except after “c” and when sounding as “ei” as in “neighbor” and “weigh.” That became a very practical way to get it right with one very troublesome vowel combo most of the time.

A simple usage type rule was this: “It’s” is the contraction for “it is.” “Its” is the possessive meaning “belonging to it.”

I’m not sure, but nowadays I fear most people are never taught such simple, basic ideas about the English language. Or if they are so taught, they’re too busy watching the latest “reality” TV show or cheering on their favorite non-talent singer in the American You-Know-What competition.

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

I admit learning to use the English language and to do it well is a daunting task. But I work at a “day job” where adult men and women are hired for their ability at “communications skills” and many of them misspell “recieve” and misuse “it’s/its” in their business letters every day.

Please, my friends, make an effort to get it right. I’m reminded of a saying attributed to both President Harry Truman and Mark Twain: “Always do right. It will please many people and astonish the rest.”

A few simple grammar rules, easy ways to remember spelling tricks and usage tips, can go a long way toward “doing right” with the language.

Why Punctuaion Really Matters?

“Surely, there is one supreme rule: that punctuation is best which best serves to make writing subtle, supple, delicate, nuanced and efficient. Of course you can write using only periods and commas for punctuation. You can cook using only salt and pepper for seasoning. But why do it when there are so many seasonings pleasing to a mature palate?” George Will

The purpose of punctuation is to help make clear the meaning of printed or written language.

Correct punctuation is based, in varying degrees, on three things: (1) thought or meaning, (2) the structural patterns of the sentence, (3) the conventions of the age. The practice of writers may be codified into a number of rules or principles. These rules or principles govern a very large number of typical situations in writing. At times, certain marks are optional, depending on the decisions of publishers or on levels of usage; on the whole, however, a university students will succeed if he or she follows codified usage. When in doubt, one can always resort to common sense.

Using the Period

* Periods are used to mark the end of a declarative sentence, a mild command, or an indirect question:

1. I wish I owned a couple of acres of land now, in which case I would not be writing autobiographies for a living. – Mark Twain

2. Please do not smoke.

3. Junior asked Susanna whether she wanted any more pancakes.

* Periods are used to mark the end of some abbreviations

Titles: Mr., Capt., Hon., Ms.

Degrees: B.A., Ph.D., M.D., B.Sc.

States: Calif., N.Y., Tex. (But not in postal abbreviations – CA, NY, TX)

Names of political entities: U.K., U.S.A., C.I.S.

Months: Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.

Names: T.S. Eliot, John F. Kennedy

*Generally, you don’t need periods with acronyms (pronounceable word, such as UNESCO, WHO, formed from the initial letters of a multiword title), with capital-letter abbreviations of technical terms, or with abbreviated names of agencies and organizations:

CBS, TVA, IBM, NATO, ID, IQ, FM, CIA, VISTA

* Periods are used to mark letter or numerals used in vertical lists:

Woven into the history of the human race is the history of its four great religions:

1. Buddhism

2. Judaism

3. Christianity

4. Islam

* Periods are not used after another period or other end mark.

1. To please our customers, we have ordered scarce materials from Home Supplies Company, Inc. We don’t want customers saying, “Why don’t you have what I want?”

2. Please give me a wake up call at about 6:00 A.M.

Using the Question Mark

* A question mark is used to mark the end of a direct question.

Would you feel better as someone else? – Alice Walker

* A question mark is used to indicate uncertainly within a statement.

Socrates (470?-399 B.C.), the Greek philosopher and teacher, was condemned to death for his unpopular ideas.

Using the Exclamation Mark

* The exclamation point is used to mark an expression of strong feeling.

Poor Columbus! He is a minor character now, a walk-on in the middle of American history. – Frances Fitzgerald

* Because exclamation points make a special appeal to the reader, you should use them sparingly. If oh introduces an expression of strong feeling, put the exclamation point at the end of the expression. Never use more than one exclamation point after an exclamation.

1. Oh, that is unspeakable!

2. “Great guns!” he shouted in consternation.

Learning how to use punctuation correctly will help you express ideas in more effective ways and will also help you to see how punctuation can give you the freedom to write new kinds of sentences.
