Self service taking the next step

Minibars are the possible future for pubs/clubs out there, currently set up in Amsterdam the minibar outlet has 45 minibars with an assortment of liquor, beer, champagne, soft drinks and snacks that one can help themselves to after they have been assigned a personal fridge. The foreseeable problem here is that you may check in but checking out could be questionable….

Proactol

Proactol™ – how does it compare to other
natural fat binders?
Proactol™ may still be a relative new comer compared to other natural fat binders Chitosan and Absorbitol, but during this time it has established itself as a credible herbal supplement.
Having undergone 4 successful pre-clinical and clinical studies – during which Proactol™ was tested under a double blind study. Proactol™ has been proven to block 28% of consumer’s digestible fat, contributing to successful long term weight loss.
But alongside each of these trials, Proactol™’s standing amongst competing fat binders has grown further following the revelation of its numerous other natural health benefits.
Benefits that can prove to be pivotal deciders when choosing the right weight loss management plan for you:
Proactol™
Medically backed by the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC and leading health official across the globe, Proactol™ is clinically proven to:

• Bind 28% of your dietary fat intake
• Lower blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure
• Reduce your calorie consumption by 150 calories per meal
• Suppress your appetite whilst lowering food cravings
• Increase joint flexibility
• Appease aches and pains
And clinically proven to cause no negative side effects, consumers can continue to use Proactol™ to maintain their weight loss for a long as they need.
For more information on Proactol™ visit www.proactol.com
Chitosan

Clinically tried and tested, Chitosan has undergone 5 clinical trials since its release onto the market. From these trials Chitosan has been proven to:
• Contribute to weight loss results of 7.2 lbs in 28 days
• Inhibit LDL cholesterol and boost HDL cholesterol
The one flaw of this fat binder is that it has been linked to increased irregular bowel movements that results in the excretion of the bound fat molecules in a semi-raw state.
Absorbitol
Restricted in usage to 3-4 times a week, Absorbitol has been found to:
• Produce weight loss results of 16lbs in 30 days
• Bind 10.8g of fat with only 1g of Absorbitol
• Lower blood cholesterol levels
But consumers are advised to use this fat binder with caution to ensure that they still receive viable amounts of fat in their diet. For this reason it is recommended that consumer’s only take is 3-4 times a week and not every day.
Which fat binder can offer consumers more promising results?
Place each of these fat binders side by side and Proactol™ is by far the more reliable supplement, offering consumers a risk free route to weight loss that is consistent, long term and is free from the dangers of surgery.
Proof of Proactol™’s credibility amongst leading nutritionists, dieticians and Physicians can clearly be seen in its recent feature in well-renowned medical magazine Scottish Primary Care.
Featured as a supporting solution for those seeking to combat heart disease and smoking, Scottish Primary Care Magazine’s direct accreditations of Proactol™’s fat binding qualities, can offer consumers the reassurance they need to take the step to natural weight loss.
And considering its growing status in the medical field, Proactol™ is a weight loss supplement that we can readily recommend with confidence.

Mídias Sociais no Orkut - O Segredo

O Google administra o orkut há cinco anos e sabe tudo sobre seus usuários.Apesar disso, a empresa está sofrendo para ter sucesso com um aplicativo Open Social.

No dia 13 de agosto, os funcionários do escritório brasileiro criaram o primeiro concurso oficial de fotos dentro da rede social. O Maravilhas do orkut vai premiar as imagens mais esquisitas em cinco categorias: ‘O seu cabelo é assim ou é disfarce?’, para escolher o penteado mais estranho; ‘Rachando o bico’, que vai eleger o sorriso mais escancarado; ‘Puro estilo’, para mostrar o internauta que se veste do modo mais inusitado; ‘Férias refrescantes’, que vai selecionar o maior programa de índio; e ‘Festa furada: tá na web, tá valendo!’, para quem provar que esteve na pior balada de todos os tempos.

Para participar, é necessário apenas adicionar o aplicativo Open Social correspondente ao perfil e mandar as fotos. Os prêmios incluem desde uma transformação completa no salão de um cabeleireiro famoso até uma viagem com acompanhante para a Turquia. O problema é que pouca gente parece interessada em disputar a competição.

Depois de quase um mês no ar, o número de usuários do Maravilhas do orkut ainda é um grão de poeira perto dos 35 milhões de brasileiros que usam o serviço. Até terça-feira (8), apenas 60 mil pessoas tinham incluído o aplicativo no perfil, segundo dados do próprio Google. É muito pouco, ainda mais porque o real objetivo do Maravilhas do orkut está em servir como vitrine para mostrar que é possível desenvolver ações comerciais bem-sucedidas na rede. A competição tem inclusive cinco patrocinadores: Colgate, Fiat, Motorola, Sony e Sprite. Como o concurso vai até o dia 23, só mesmo uma explosão repentina de acessos poderá salvá-lo do esquecimento total.

Em nota, o Google informou a este blog que o aplicativo só é baixado por usuários que desejam compartilhar suas fotos e concorrer aos prêmios: os que preferirem apenas ver as imagens e votar não precisam fazer o download. “O Google tem controle da quantidade de votos e de pessoas que preferem participar dessa forma. Com isso, asseguramos que todos os números referentes ao aplicativo Maravilhas do orkut estão dentro das expectativas da empresa e representam uma audiência altamente qualificada, atendendo o retorno que nossos parceiros buscaram no projeto.”

Embora muitas empresas brasileiras tenham desenvolvido ações bem-sucedidas em outras redes sociais, poucas conseguiram os mesmos bons resultados no orkut. Entre os aplicativos Open Social, raros são os que exibem uma marca e ainda conseguem ficar entre os mais populares. O Maravilhas do orkut mostra como a maior rede social do país ainda é um mistério.

With Gratitude - by Deborah J Ledford

I’ve been thinking for days what I should present for this book launch blog promoting my debut thriller Staccato, and my thoughts kept returning to how grateful I am, not only to have this novel in print, but to all of those tireless and committed souls who made this book release a possibility.

Staccato is being featured on the Second Wind Publishing blog along with three other equally intriguing novels. I am thrilled to be in the company of Mickey Hoffman and Amy DeTremp for their first novels from Second Wind, and the very talented writer Christine Husom for her second book. I know they share my excitement in being members of this unique and cutting edge publishing company.

Because the entire Second Wind team is first-rate I shouldn’t play favorites, however Pat Bertram is as instrumental in seeing Staccato to fruition as anyone else involved in the process. Pat is not only a gifted novelist, she is a tireless promoter of Second Wind authors, often putting herself in the backseat when it comes to touting her own exquisitely crafted novels. I wish her the best with the upcoming release of Daughter Am I.

Lazarus Barnhill, novelist extraordinaire, is also an influential force in my decision to see Staccato through to publication. Laz, Pat and I made it to the semi-final round of the TruTV (formerly CourtTV) Crime Writer Contest sponsored by Gather.com in 2007. I am grateful that none of us actually won this contest because now we all reside in the same Second Wind Publishing home.

Second Wind executive assistants Tracy Beltran and Stacy Findley really pulled out the stops as well. From providing and submitting formatted proofs, configuring a killer back cover, to making sure my author and book pages on the Website were exactly as I wished. I could not be more happy with what you ladies have accomplished in order to make Staccato as professional and aesthetically pleasing as I could ever have envisioned.

My gratitude would not be complete without the heartfelt thanks to Second Wind publisher, Mike Simpson. Mike expressed confidence in Staccato when all others had turned their backs. This kind and generous gentleman is a dream maker who put me at ease so many times with his assurances that we would make the September 15th release date. Somehow he pulled off this monumental and sometimes daunting effort. Kudos to you, Mike, Staccato is every bit yours as it is mine.

For those of you who visit this exceptional blog often, I thank you as well. We all look forward to your comments and appreciate your support of Second Wind Publishing.

 

Deborah J Ledford is the author of the debut suspense thriller novel Staccato, now available from Second Wind Publishing, Amazon, Kindle and independent book stores.

How One Red Flag Can Destroy Communication

I recently received an email from an individual that was marked urgent. The subject line of this email was an individual’s name. Paired with the urgent email status, I assumed the worst. I panicked and opened the email immediately.

The email was extremely non-urgent, more of an ‘FYI’ type message. If it was still waiting unopened in my inbox a week or a month later, no one would have noticed. Life and work would have carried on the same as before. When I question the sender about the status of the message, they responded that they knew that I was extremely busy and that they wanted to make sure I read it.

This peer works in a hospital. Urgent in the hospital setting means code blue. Unless it directly relates to saving a life, I rarely see urgent when working with hospitals.

When sending email communication to volunteers, board members, or donors, remember that an urgent situation for us may not translate to urgent for them. Yes, do get info out in a timely manner. No, do not use the red urgent flag.

This person abused the way they communicated with me – you can bet that every email I receive from this sender will be last to be clicked open. Make sure that the status and subject lines of your emails are appropriate. Make the person on the other end know that you respect their time.
